Chapter 44 Deficit
Flower hurried over and asked: "What do you mean by real estate? How can you make money by building a city?"
The blood of the general in Jiayi's hand was finally empty. He abandoned the card in his hand and said to Flower: "Actually, I'm talking about it. After planning it step by step, first, renovate the easiest place to renovate. For example, the West District, where there are poor people, take down the West District first, and then build the West District. After the West District is built, then start selling the houses in the West District, so that a batch of funds can be recovered, and even make a small profit, and then invest in the construction below. After all, the old and dilapidated before construction is not as good as the houses after construction."
Flower thought for a while and was still a little puzzled: "No, if the price is too high, who can afford it to buy it in the West District? How can anyone who can afford it be regarded as the West District?"
Flower's thoughts were still not able to be transformed, and he still looked at the renovated West End with his old eyes.
"The West District is indeed synonymous with only the poor, and it is synonymous with dirty and messy, but your construction is to rebuild the entire place, and to build a complete sewer project, plus perfect greening, and then build the houses to look better. Are you afraid that no one will buy it? The renovated West District is not as dirty and messy as it was. Even because it is the first community, you can also make some gimmicks, such as purchase restrictions and discounts. You must buy famous people in the town, which sets up an atmosphere where buying is profitable, and triggers people's rush to buy."
"What should people in the West Side do? Don't they have no place to live? You can't drive them out after leaving, right?"
"Of course not. You can find a place in the new city to build a batch of houses for them to live in. The new city has just been built, and it is definitely not as perfect as the original town, but it is enough for people in the west to live in."
Jiayi looked like a very unscrupulous businessman, but it was good that he could get Flower to prepare for a living. He did not drive people out of the city directly. At this time, the colored lead work was much easier, so there was no need to worry about nails.
In order to achieve the goal, the lord really dared to send his knights to drive people away, and he didn't even need any little hooligan.
Although the actual operation is not as easy as Jiayi said, the answering process is almost the same.
Seeing Flower thinking, Kaichi refocused himself on the game, and the winner was about to be decided on the field. Kaichi originally thought it was Donna, but he didn't expect that the traitor in the end was Kalima's little maid Daizi.
Kaichi looked at Daizi with admiration. As a maid, there was a world of difference compared to Flower, a licker dog.
Unfortunately, Kalima won the victory in the end. Because Donna consumed a lot of Dezi's blood, Kalima finally harvested it without any difficulty.
Then he started again, Jiayi actually got a traitor. He lost interest in an instant. It was difficult to fight a traitor. It took more luck and strategy to win, which was not what Jiayi was good at.
While pretending to be loyal, he asked Flower: "Why did everyone in the town go out to collect grain today? Is the food in the town no longer enough? Didn't I hear that the granary in the town store a lot of grain?"
Flower stopped his hand and was silent for a moment, saying, "There are more and more people in the town over the years, but the granary has not increased. Therefore, it is a bit overwhelming to supply the grain for everyone in the town. Moreover, the heavy snow this year came a little earlier. The grain merchants in the town have not transported all the food, and now they are all blocked on the road."
Kalima was also a little indignant: "Who knows whether it was not available for shipping or not to sell it. I am going to hold it for a while. I don't know how my father and their territory are going."
The heavy snowfall is very wide, and the Iversol Leader is not far from the Cyber Leader, but now the road is blocked, and Kalima has no choice but to go home, and even if she returns, it will not help.
After all, Cyber's own lord is too busy to take care of himself. Although Kalima cares about his father's territory, she does not think about letting Cyber's own problems be solved before they can support Avos's own lord.
Flower said: "Don't worry, since you haven't received any letters for help, it means that even if there is a problem, it won't be too big. Your father and the others will solve it."
However, Jiayi was still a little puzzled: "Even if there are fewer granaries, you don't have to hurry to collect grain, right? The surplus grain in the town shouldn't have been consumed yet."
Generally, people buy food at least 5 or 6 days at a time. Those who are in difficulty may buy less at a time, and those who are richer can buy more. However, it is not convenient to store flour. Fewer buy flour at one time will be purchased for more than 15 days. But no matter how you calculate it, the heavy snow has only been falling for a few days, and the food in the town must be enough. Most of the people who come out to buy food now are not because their families are already short of food, but because they learn from Jiayi’s father Gary to prepare as early as possible.
It was just because of heavy snow, and many families may not have money to buy food for a while because they had no jobs.
With a granary as a backing, there is no problem in the area for at least 10 days and half a month. Moreover, snow disasters are not like floods, and they are not as destructive as they are, and they retreat faster.
Jiayi thinks that the town should be more concerned about heating now.
Flower was silent for a moment before he said dryly: "It's the secretary."
"Ha?" What's the trouble with the clerk? Did he fight with Flower? Look at his hesitant look.
"The granary in the town has a huge deficit and has been eaten up by the clerk."
Of course, this is not really eaten, but the secretary suffered a loss. The clerk has always been in charge of the granary in the town. Every year, the town will collect new grains and then exchange them for sale. The price difference is quite large, and the clerk is responsible for all of them, so he has the idea of this.
In every dynasty and every generation, the warehouse management of the granary is the most likely place to breed corruption, and the oil and water are the largest. The clerk not only uses the lord's mansion to lower prices, buy new grain at low prices, sell old grain at high prices, and earn the difference in the middle. The most important thing is that the grain in the granary is not satisfied, only about one-third.
The difference is a bit too big. The lord saw that the snow disaster is too big now, so he wanted to prepare early, so he sent his confidant to go to the granary to look at it. If it was discovered late, the end would be a big mess.
It was also because he found that there was not much food in the town that Sainthbury dispersed everyone when the snow stopped and went downstairs to collect grain. In order to calm the people's hearts, Sainthbury specially started opening a warehouse to sell grain, making it look like there was enough food in the town.
The situation where Cargill and the others saw the full granary when they passed by was actually an illusion made by the lord. Although the entire granary was full, only the upper layer was real grain, and sand and gravel were stuffed into the sack below.
However, although there is not much grain stored in the town, there is still a lot of surplus grain in the villages below. Moreover, the lord has his own manor and there is also a lot of grain stored in it. All of them are transported back to the point when the heavy snow recedes.
Unless this snow comes to the whole winter.
Flower finally told Jiayi not to make any noise about this matter, because the lord was not ready to move the clerk, and was afraid of exposing the shortage of food to cause turmoil in the territory.
Just now, Flower was hesitant and unwilling to say it clearly, and it also meant to keep it a little confidential, but more often it was a bit embarrassed, and it was a bit like not to mention family scandals.
Flower also complained that his father trusted the clerk too much. Last time he found out that the clerk had corruption and told his father that he was scolded by his father. Unexpectedly, such a big mistake has happened now.
