The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1134

[1134. Chapter 1083 Living and working in peace and contentment]

contentment After Oda Nobusada walked around the new town.

Returned to his residence.

The companions of these young people excitedly told each other their experiences.

“Oda-kun, that steam train is really an exquisite thing that only a great god with such a mind can create.”

“The food here is so delicious. Their cakes have dozens of varieties, burp… Hiccup…” Someone was stroking his belly.

“The best school here is not the Imperial College, but Xishan Academy. Xishan Academy not only has elementary school classes, but also various colleges. It is said that it has opened a Chinese Academy. It is the dean of the Chinese Academy who let us study. It’s Lord Jiang Chen. He is a disciple of the famous Fang Lord. He is very knowledgeable and accomplished. “

“Ah… I have forgotten my hometown here.”

“In the future, our wives and children will also come here, Hong. The residence in Hesi is too small. Will our wives and children also live in this room with the crowd? “

“I heard… Xishan Jianye…”

Xishan Jianye…

heard these four Words, Oda Nobusada’s eyes suddenly lit up.

This… is the legendary Xishan Jianye?

Oda Nobusada felt warm in his heart.

“Xishan Jianye has launched some courtyards, three hundred acres. It is said that… the furnishings inside are gorgeous. Only dignitaries can live here. They have everything they need…” The person who spoke was the Takeda family of Kai Country. The son of the family governor, Takeda Nobutō.

Takeda Shinsawa tugged at his clothes: “Our clothes are all rotten. It is very inconvenient to take a bath here. And there is a special bathroom in the courtyard there, with a bathtub paved with tiles. If at this moment , to be able to live in such a gorgeous house and take a bath…”

Takeda Nobuzuki smiled at this moment.

“I’ve heard that many people are talking about Xishan Jianye. They say… only the mansions in the new city are the symbol of wealth. Living there, you will be no different from the nobles of the upper country.

” Son, many people are tempted.

Although you don’t need money to live here, you can’t live here for a lifetime.

According to the emperor’s will, unless their father dies, they can return to the Japanese country and take over his title, but their son must stay here to succeed him.

Therefore, many people…have the need to settle in Beijing for a long time.

They were originally from aristocrats, so they naturally did not want to stay in this old city with the common people. The Honglu Temple in this old city was in disrepair, and dozens of people lived in the same courtyard, which was very inconvenient.

“How much does that mansion cost?”

Someone said: “Thirty-five thousand taels of silver per acre. One acre is enough for you.”

Thirty-five thousand taels…

everyone gasped. A breath of cool air.

Oda Nobusada was even more shocked.

Sure enough…it is worthy of being a capital like Chang’an in its prosperous times. Such a price is really expensive. Even as the son of the Lord of Owari Province, I feel that this is an astronomical figure.

“But… Xishan Bank will have a special loan. It is said to be for friends like us. It is called the Fan Country Friends Super Long-term Loan. With a down payment of only five hundred taels of silver, you can purchase a house and you can move in soon. The remaining loan will be repaid on a monthly basis, and the longest period of repayment is one hundred years. “

Nani…

one hundred years…

Takeda Nobuzuki was shocked. Based on this calculation, he only needs to repay dozens of taels per month. , can you check in directly?

Japan is rich in gold and silver.

And people like Takeda Nobutsu and Oda Nobusada are different from the ordinary nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

The family origins of Japanese aristocrats can be traced back hundreds or thousands of years. For example, Oda Nobusada’s family can be traced back to the Heian period. After that, their descendants became members of the Qing clan and their wealth accumulated for dozens of generations.

This is even more true for other Japanese nobles.

In addition, Japan produced gold and silver, and its accumulation was even more abundant.

It may be extremely difficult to come up with tens of thousands of taels of silver at once, but for these guardian daimyo and city lord queens, making a down payment and repaying a loan is like child’s play.

Calculated in this way, by moving into a new house, you will save money on renting in the future… Such a good location, such favorable conditions… Even if you return to China in the future, you can still leave the house to your son or grandson… …

“This is a very long-term loan specifically for us. We only need to use our land in the country as collateral and our title as collateral. Fang Jun of Xishan Bank is said to be very friendly to us… and for the ordinary Ming Dynasty Common people, especially Bai Ding, their loans will not exceed thirty years…”

Obviously, there is nothing you can do if your loans do not exceed thirty years. Ordinary people, no one can guarantee that after your death, your children and grandchildren will obediently give you money. You repay the loan. But the nobles can do it. Their status is guaranteed by privileges. The status of the nobles of the Japanese country is particularly stable. There is almost no need to worry about the possibility that their family will decline in the future. Even after a city lord like Oda Nobusada, he is a member of the noble family who has been hereditary for many generations and has endless enshrinement.

With such a status, one would dare to lend money not only for one hundred years, but also for three hundred years.

The only drawback is that the interest rate is a bit scary.

Of course…if these details are ignored, it will be enough to make everyone tempted.

One person laughed: “Haha, can you make a decision with only five hundred taels? Then, gentlemen, I want to buy thirty acres.”

When everyone looked around, they saw a fat young man with a sultry look on his face.

In the Japanese country, there are many wealthy families with mines in their territory. If they protect the daimyo, they will be even more generous.

The man added another sentence: “I don’t like loans. Thirty acres, full payment.”

Phew…

Oda Nobusada couldn’t help but feel sad, because…his background was not considered a leader, but he was just a mere After the city lord, he could only buy one or two acres with reluctance.

That’s it… I’m afraid that once I make a decision, my father in Owari Province will need to continue to send money to pay off the monthly loan.

“Gentlemen, I heard that in the next few days, people from Xishan Jianye will organize a house viewing group to go to inspect the house. I don’t know if you are interested, you might as well go and have a look.”

“Okay, you can go with us! “

…

Fang Jifan was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

He was worried about the house viewing group visiting in a few days.

The people of Japan also need to buy houses.

Next, there will be distinguished guests from North Korea arriving, including Siamese, Chenla people, and Uzbeans.

Uzang and Ryukyu are relatively poor. Of course, Fang Jifan has no intention of ridiculing. He has no intention to belittle any friends who come from afar. Fang Jifan has always despised those who have national discrimination. As a peace-loving person, , Fang Jifan wanted to go to the Daming Gate and carve the words “Long live the great unity of the people of the world” on it.

The interest on the loan has been verified by dozens of people who know how to calculate it.

After all, if you want to recover the cost of a century-old ultra-long loan, you must add future inflation. This is a complex project that not only brings benefits to VIPs, but also ensures that this ultra-long loan can recover a reasonable cost. money and interest.

Seeing them sweating profusely while making calculations, applying various formulas, and concentrating their concentration, Fang Jifan felt very at ease. Fang Jifan liked this enthusiasm for his career.

On a plate, Zhu Houzhao carefully held a piece of jade and carved it carefully with a carving knife.

In order to welcome the distinguished guests, the leader of the viewing group was Zhu Houzhao.

Since he is the leader, it is natural that he needs to be famous.

Zhu Houzhao was such a serious person, he had to have a seal, so that he could show his solemnity, instead of being a wild leader like a street vendor.

Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Houzhao and felt even more satisfied. This was also a man who was doing great things.

Wang Jinyuan was on the side. His feet were no longer touching the ground. He was holding a pen and ink and recording Fang Jifan’s explanation.

“Dignified guests from Japan, this is your first time here and you don’t know much about our new city.” Fang Jifan said slowly.

Wang Jinyuan’s eyes lit up: “You mean… you’re easy to fool?”

Fang Jifan glared at him: “You know too much for a dog-like thing.”

Wang Jinyuan was ashamed and said hurriedly: “The villain deserves to die.”

Fang Jifan backed up .

He started, and then said: “So, first prepare the carriages and horses, and requisition as many as they can. Let them sit in the carriages and drive around the new city to feel the atmosphere. After that, the newly opened theater near Pan , school, let them take a walk first, take a look at the place, and then look at the model house. The model house must be tidied up properly. The two guards in front of the door should stand straighter, and people should be prepared inside… Never leave. Error. Of course…and…”

Fang Jifan explained unhurriedly.

Wang Jinyuan was busy writing these down one by one. He did not dare to make any oversights, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan would strangle him to death.

After thinking about it, Wang Jinyuan raised his head: “Those country bumpkins…”

Fang Jifan said sternly: “What nonsense are you talking about, country bumpkin? You bitch, that’s how you call a distinguished guest? Are you still a human being?”

Wang Jinyuan slapped himself in the face without saying a word. : “What the villain means is that these distinguished guests, should they hire some people to create a heated atmosphere, for example…let them grab a house?”

Fang Jifan clasped his hands behind his back and thought for a moment: “I don’t care about this.”

Wang Jinyuan was happy: “I understand, I understand.”

Fang Jifan hammered his fist hard and knocked on the document: “In our Ming Dynasty, with so many refugees, can they have food to eat, have jobs, and can they feed themselves? Wives, children, and children, it’s just this time. In short, no one can make a mistake. If he makes a mistake, I will kill him and feed the dog.”

Wang Jinyuan shuddered, and wanted to run away, but suddenly he remembered something: “Master, that man named Wu. You guys are going too far. They are spreading rumors about us, saying that our house cannot be sold, and encouraging people to sell their houses…”

Fang Jifan wrote lightly: “Ignore them, I am too lazy to beat him to death.”

Wang Jinyuan raised his thumb .

, was happy: “The young master is so kind-hearted, he is really admirable to me.”

“Get out!”
