Chapter 1622: Both Ends Were Sucked
"Yes, all the money has been sucked away by the new city. The money to buy a piece of land in Tianshui New City is a huge sum of money for a wealthy family. For higher-end businesses, wealthy gentry will not only buy one piece of land, but will buy it for ten or twenty yuan, even if they have to borrow money from the Qi family."
Aunt Zhu was puzzled: "That's what you said. The wealthy and rich families paid for the new town's residential land. Ordinary people can't afford it. Will they be affected too?"
"They were not affected before the famine, and they made more money, after all, the market was booming." During the boom, it seemed that everything could make money, which easily made people full of confidence and spend money lavishly. "As far as I know, some people ignored their own financial resources and borrowed money to buy land in New Town. That's not tiptoeing to reach, but walking on stilts."
"When I was the governor of the new city expansion, I heard many examples of civilians mobilizing their family and friends, with as few as seven or eight families and as many as thirty or forty families pooling money to buy land in the east of the city. This is called pooling money."
If one company can't afford it, dozens of companies can invest together. That should be okay, right?
Aunt Zhu seemed to understand: "The money we earn should be divided among us according to our wealth, right? Just like when I used to go hunting with my sisters, we would eat the prey together."
He Lingchuan nodded: "Similar."
This method is very common in counties and towns, where clan power is strong. Not only buying land, but also doing business is done in this way.
"In theory, this method can indeed reduce risks, but they also feel that if too many people join in, the profits they get will be diluted, so they usually don't buy only four or five plots of land. Especially after making money from one or two transactions, they will be bolder in the future." He Lingchuan continued, "In Helu Township in the southern suburbs of Tianshui City, there is a small township official named Chen who mobilized more than 400 households in two townships to jointly purchase 35 plots of land in Tianshui New City! There are many tricks involved. When others heard that he was doing a good job here, they came from hundreds of miles away to give him money. But in short, some civilians were also forced to get on board."
"Get in the car?" What car?
"Of course, most civilians did not buy because they were unable to do so and could not even come up with the money to contribute. Think about it, they did not buy residential land because they had no money. They were already short of money, and they would be the first to suffer when food prices went up." Whether in a strong or weak country, this group of people is the majority.
He Lingchuan glanced at the night sky. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the breeze was blowing gently. He did not understand the sorrows of the world.
"You have to know that money is like flowing water. The source is above, and it must flow down from a high place before it can flow to a low place. If the rich cherish money, the money cannot circulate, and it will be difficult for the poor to make money."
Aunt Zhu said "oh".
It had no concept of "money", after all, the things it needed were usually not bought with money. But when it spied on the extravagant and prosperous Tianshui City a while ago through the eyeball spider, it knew that He Lingchuan was right.
"But now the rich don't have much money." He Lingchuan asked while chewing a peach, "Guess where the money went?"
"The rich have no money anymore?" Aunt Zhu stopped drinking and thought for a long time before asking tentatively, "Then, did it go to someone even richer?"
He Lingchuan immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Auntie, you are awesome! Your explanation goes straight to the essence, much better than Dong Rui's."
When he praised her, Aunt Zhu was happy, but she still had to be polite: "Huh, can he compare with me? Where is the money?"
He Lingchuan smiled and told it directly: "The money is in the treasury and with King Yao. What about the grain?"
This time Aunt Zhu really didn't know. She wiped her eyes and said, "In your and Qingyang's hands?"
"What Qingyang and I took away was actually less than 20%. It's too complicated to explain. Just assume that all the food in Yao Country was sucked away by the bottomless pit."
The money of the Yao State was siphoned away by the national treasury and the bureaucrats headed by the Yao King;
The grain of Yao Kingdom was sucked away by a bottomless black hole that appeared out of nowhere.
"In the end, if the people at the bottom have neither money nor food—" He Lingchuan pointed to the last pot of wine, "What do you think they should do?"
Aunt Zhu was thinking hard in her heart.
"Throughout the years, poor people have always done this in the end." He Lingchuan reminded it, "Hasn't the refugees already set an example?"
"riot?"
"At present, it is just a riot by refugees. The situation has not reached the worst point. Most civilians still have some surplus food at home." Refugees have no extra money. They earn a day's wages to eat a day's meal. They have the weakest ability to resist risks, so they are the first to riot. "But the time window left for the Yaowang Court is very short. It must find a way, otherwise the real disaster will come. Don't forget that there are forces in the dark who are eyeing it covetously. They have finally triggered the current situation, why would they stop halfway?"
"You did a good job!" Aunt Zhu's words were actually a compliment.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Things must rot before insects can be born. I just gave them a few ideas."
Aunt Zhu hooked the last jar of wine in front of her and asked: "When are you leaving? Is it really on the day when the Emperor Liujiang erupted?"
"Not necessarily." He Lingchuan also ate the last peach. "Everyone knows that the outbreak of the Emperor's Flowing Liquid is a good opportunity to create chaos. Since King Yao is suspicious, Qingyang may be forced to leave early. If she launches early, we have to leave early."
Timing, everything depends on the word "timing". If it's too early or too late, he won't be able to see the brilliant sparks.
Aunt Zhu snorted, "This old Yao Wang is too fussy. If I were him, I would have taken the initiative to kill Qingyang the moment I found out she was up to no good!"
"How many people in this world are as bold and decisive as you, Auntie?" He Lingchuan praised her a little, "After all, Beijia and the Demon Emperor are standing behind Qingyang. How dare King Yao take action against Qingyang without substantial evidence? If Beijia investigates in the future, Yao Kingdom will have a hard time explaining itself."
"You are afraid, but you are also optimistic." Aunt Zhu said disdainfully, "You will never achieve anything great if you are timid!"
He Lingchuan clapped his hands, "That's right. I guess he would have to think of this when he has no other choice. But by then, Qingyang is no longer someone he can get rid of just because he wants to. King Yao is a suspicious and indecisive person. I don't think he will win in this fight between dragon and tiger."
Having said that, how many people can remain calm when facing a behemoth like Bega?
"I'm not too worried about Qingyang. She always takes the overall situation into consideration and doesn't bother to care about me at this time." He pondered, "On the contrary, Bai Ziqi, well, I always feel that he will appear again and shouldn't die so easily at the hands of Peng Yukui."
Aunt Zhu drank the last drop of wine and pushed the jar aside:
"Don't worry, I'm here. Hey, there are guests at Youhu Cottage."
"Who?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him." Aunt Zhu set up a spy outside Youhu Lake. "He came in a carriage, with fifty or sixty guards behind him. His clothes are different from those in Yao Country. Oh, a man got off the carriage, he is less than thirty years old."
