I don’t know how much manpower it took to transport these wood from the mountains, but now it is piled up here without moving. There is not even a place to block the rain, and it will probably become rotten wood in a few years.

Looking at these building materials, Yang Yong thought that this place is the most central location in Luoyang. If this land was used for auction in later generations, it would probably be a sky-high price. I don’t know if I can also do real estate now.

When Yang Yong was about to approach and watch again, two yamen runners came over and stopped him: "The important places in the palace are not allowed to enter without any entry."

Yang Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly. This is a major land in the palace. Even the walls have not been built and he has to send yamen runners to guard it. It is a huge waste. He is becoming more and more confident. If he sells these materials and land, he should be able to raise a lot of money, at least he doesn't have to worry about the salary paid to officials during the New Year.

Seeing that Yang Yong disagreed, a yamen runner said fiercely: "Go away, otherwise be careful of eating in prison."

The materials here are bricks, tiles and wood, and all of them are chosen. Although the Luoyang Palace has been stopped, the local officials dare not let any mistakes in these materials. Otherwise, once the court wants to rebuild and find that the original construction place is seriously damaged or the materials are lost, they may not be able to afford it and have to send someone to strictly protect it.

Although the people usually pass by, they dare not look at them as unscrupulously as Yang Yong. The yamen runners naturally became suspicious and found warnings. Yang Yong had to take a few steps back.

Yang Shi came to Yang Yong and whispered: "Sir, do you want to show your identity and go in and take a look?"

Yang Yong shook his head: "Forget it, there is nothing good to see when you go in."

Yang Yong said this a little louder, but a yamen runner heard it. He looked at Yang Yong, dressed in an ordinary manner, and was still a teenager. Although Yang Shi was strong in muscles and looked powerful in Kong Wu, he was just dressed worse than Yang Yong. He treated the two as coolies and immediately laughed: "Poor boy, don't say anything big, you can't afford a piece of wood inside. Do you want to come in to steal things at night? Tell you that if you catch it, it will be a death sentence."

Yang Shi was furious and was about to teach two yamen runners a lesson, Yang Yong saw that many people around him had stopped to watch the fun, so he quickly turned a wink to let Yang Shi come back. Yang Shi said angrily: "Sir, these two yamen runners are looking down on others, why don't you let the humble vocation teach them a lesson?"

Yang Yong shook his head: "Forget it, they are right. We are all dressed up by poor people now. The price of a piece of wood inside is ordinary people who can't afford it even if they spend their entire lives savings. The so-called "rich people smell wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road."

"The rich family smells like wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death." Yang Shi's face was filled with admiration as he read this sentence: "What a lord said is so good!" He was a gangster, and he could understand this sentence for several years when he was hungry and had a meal full.

When he returned to the Tomb Prison Mansion, Yang Yong called Lu Mulin and asked him: "How many wealthy families are there in Luoyang?"

Lu Mulin has assisted Li Gang in managing all kinds of affairs in Luoyang for several months, and is very familiar with the situation in Luoyang. He immediately replied: "Sir, Luoyang has 137 large households, and more than 1,300 medium households."

"Oh, what standard do you mean by the big players?"

Lu Mulin looked puzzled. Of course, he knew that the entire Luoyang Prefecture treasury was almost empty. The adult asked the rich Luoyang households that they would not want to kill chickens to get eggs, but they said quickly: "If a large household has 10,000 mu of fertile land at home or can take out 10,000 mu of property, while a middle household has more than 1,000 mu of fertile land at home, or can take out 10,000 mu of wealth at home."

At this time, the land was vast and sparsely populated, far less than the intensive cultivation of later generations. When the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented the equalization law, it was stipulated that a fifteen-year-old man gave 40 mu of dew fields (fields that do not plant trees), 20 mu of women, 20 mu of slaves, and 20 mu of oxen. If there are oxen, each cow will be given 30 mu of extra cows, with four cows as the limit. In addition to the exposed fields, there are also mulberry fields or hemp fields, and it is stipulated that each person plant 50 mulberry trees, five jujube trees and three elm trees.

This number of land is the maximum limit. If a place has more people and less land, the corresponding land will be reduced. Some narrow towns do not even have half of the land. Of course, Luoyang is not listed here. At this time, the population of Luoyang is far from saturated. Therefore, as long as there are three or four males in the family, plus women and plowing oxen, it is common to have hundreds of acres of land, and less than a thousand acres of fertile land can only be considered small households.

So much land is actually not enough with a person's energy, because there is no fertilizer, and the land must be plowed in rotation. There are those who plow twice in three years, one plow every two years, or even one plow every three years.

Although the Northern Wei Dynasty's policy of equal land was good, there was a lot of resistance to implement it. By the Great Zhou Dynasty, the equal land order was basically destroyed, and most of the land was concentrated in the hands of local tyrants. When Yang Jian re-applyed the land order to men in the Northern Wei Dynasty's equal land order in Guanzhong, the rebellious Yuchi Jiong's subordinates fled just after being defeated and went home to divide the land.

A wealth of thousands of yuan is equivalent to a millionaire in later generations. There are more than 100 families in Luoyang, which has already made Yang Yong happy. Among the more than 100 families, there should be many people with a wealth of one hundred yuan and a wealth of one million yuan: "I send a request to all the wealthy families in the city and ask them to go to the Zui Mansion for a banquet in three days."

Lu Mulin was shocked: "Sir, you are the priest of the tomb. Many of these people are just merchants and others. It is unreasonable to ask them. What's more, the lord suddenly invites them for no reason, and I'm afraid they will scare them."

Yang Yong nodded, and it was indeed inappropriate to invite them as his own identity: "Then go and invite them in the name of Luoyang Order."

"Why did the lord suddenly invite the rich people in the city to the banquet?" Lu Mulin asked cautiously.

Seeing Lu Mulin so careful, Yang Yong couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to blackmail or eradicate them, I just want to do a business with them."

"Do business?" Lu Mulin couldn't help but be curious: "What business should he do with them?"

Yang Yong did not hide it: "Of course, it is the building materials in the middle of the city, which has the land of Luoyang Palace. The Luoyang Palace has been stopped, and it is a waste to pile up there. It is better to sell it. The same is true for the entire palace land in the middle. Although Luoyang Palace is only half built, this place is already covered with imperial spirit. If someone builds a house here, it will be expensive in the future."

Lu Mulin was shocked: "Selling Luoyang Palace, sir, this is not possible. Luoyang Palace is the imperial palace."

"Wrong, Luoyang Palace is not an imperial palace, at most an unfinished palace. I ask you, it's not other places. How many palaces have been built in Luoyang for a thousand years? Now the place where you and I stand may be a former palace site. Since Luoyang Palace has not been completed, how can it not be sold? What the Great Zhou needs now is not a palace, but to enrich the national treasury as soon as possible."

Lu Mulin was speechless. Luoyang was built and destroyed many times. Of course, every time it was built, it would not be completely followed by the original site. It is very likely that the dirtiest place in the city now is the palace of which dynasty was originally sold. I am afraid that no one except Yang Yong would dare to do it. After all, this involves a major royal event.

"Of course, it's not about selling the entire Luoyang Palace to one person, but it needs to be divided into dozens of dollars and sold slowly." Yang Yong smiled. The Luoyang Palace occupies a vast area. Even if he wants to sell it to one person together, no one can afford it. Moreover, if the house is built with the palace, it is really seeking death.

The Dazhou Law stipulates that if a family of more than three people can give one acre of land as residential land, and if a servant is five, acre of land is given to a house. Of course, ordinary families cannot use such a large land to build houses. They will basically be fenced as yards to raise poultry and livestock or vegetable fields. The residential land of wealthy families is often not enough. Although there is a regulation that a five servant is adding one acre of land, ordinary wealthy families often build a garden, and rockery is dozens or hundreds of acres. Only in various places will large families often occupy small homelands.

Although the Luoyang Order issued an invitation to the city's large households, many wealthy families were still inexplicably informed. People with a way to inquire about what the government meant? Some wealthy families with unstable foundations were trembling, fearing that something would happen. However, the Luoyang Order knew nothing about this. He just acted under the order of the tomb priest's office, so naturally there was nothing to tell.

Yang Yong spent three days to count the remaining materials in Luoyang Palace. Bricks and stones were just small matters. The big woods that several people hugged were truly valuable. Although there is no shortage of wood in the mountains, many precious woods were transported from the mountains to Luoyang, which consumed hundreds of manpower, including the wood used as the beams of the palace, and a large wood consumed 2,000 manpower.

At the same time, Yang Yong asked someone to re-measure the location of Luoyang Palace and divide it into twenty-five different areas for those wealthy families to choose to build houses and courtyards. The size of these twenty-five pieces of land is different. The largest piece accounts for about one-seventh of the Luoyang Palace, while the smallest piece accounts for only one-fifty-fifty. Yang Yong naturally wanted to open the purchase price of Luoyang Palace, the better, so there must be differences.

Three days later, the invited wealthy members of Luoyang attended the Luoyang Order's banquet in fear. After three rounds of wine, Lu Mulin, a clerk from the Tomb Prison House, suddenly came to the banquet and announced the sale of Luoyang Palace. The whole banquet was in an uproar, and many people were ready to move, but no one dared to speak first.

Lu Mulin was not in a hurry. He just announced the matter and invited them to watch it together tomorrow before making a decision. Then he left the seat. The rest of the people were not interested in the banquet and left the seat one after another.

Most of these wealthy families were not locals. In order to build the Luoyang Palace, Emperor Xuan of Zhou moved some wealthy families from all over the country to Luoyang. When they first arrived in Luoyang, they had no roots and no Ping. Of course, the residential land they had won was not too large, and they were all bad places. When they heard that the court was deliberately splitting the Luoyang Palace, they were very moved, but they were still moved, and they had not yet been so dazzled that they were used to build the Emperor's Palace. Although it was not built, if they spent money to buy a lot of trouble, no one would be willing to do such a stupid thing.

The next day, most people came to the place where Luoyang Palace was located as promised. Although Luoyang Palace gave up halfway, the foundation had been solid. On the thick foundation of Luoyang Palace, Lu Mulin began to sell the wood piled beside him. The higher the price, one of them tried to bid, and without anyone competing, he obtained dozens of high-quality wood at an extremely low price.

Driven by this person, someone finally began to join the competition. After all, the materials that can be used to build a palace are all top-notch wood. Although these wood can be used as a top beam material for ordinary people. Although they are rich, they do not have such courage. They spend hundreds or thousands of people working in the mountains just to cut down wood.

On that day, Lu Mulin only sold some wood and did not mention the land sale again. Instead, some people were itchy. A few days later, when Lu Mulin sold most of the wood, someone finally asked about the land sale. Lu Mulin took out the smallest piece of land that had been marked for auction on the spot. Several people called it a few times and no one increased the price. As a result, the land was bought at the extreme price, and the price was so low that it was even worse than the land price they received from ordinary people when they expanded the house, which made many people regret it.

Lu Mulin drafted an official contract on the spot and stamped the seal of the Luozhou general manager. Many talents woke up as if they were dreaming and began to compete for the land below. Lu Mulin threw out two more pieces of land. After obtaining a good price, he announced that the auction was completed that day and the auction will begin tomorrow.

Before the New Year, Lu Mulin had already cut all the Luoyang Palace and auctioned it. Several companies competed for the last piece of land and sold it at a sky-high price of 300,000 yuan. Adding up all the income, the entire Luoyang Palace actually sold more than 2 million yuan. Although this price was far inferior to the money for building the Luoyang Palace, it was urgently needed for the entire Qi land. Before the New Year, it still had a surplus of more than 1 million yuan.
