Living in a big city is not easy.

Originally, Qingzhou City was just a small county. However, even so, for ordinary people, settling down and buying a small property in Qingzhou City is still a very difficult task.

Now, with the influx of a large number of people into Qingzhou City in a short period of time, various land deeds and property transactions have become more frequent, and prices have also risen.

By comparison, these 6-story buildings actually show a price advantage.

Not only is the total price cheap, but there are already 15 rooms inside that can accommodate a relatively large population, and even can be split and rented out.

Now, there are a large number of long-term and short-term workers, tourists, and businessmen in Qingzhou City, and the demand for housing is very strong.

Not long after, those few extra small buildings were sold out, and Zhu Cha became the first generation real estate developer of the Ming Dynasty!

Before Zhu Cha, there was also real estate buying and selling among the people, and some merchants enjoyed it tirelessly for profit.

But the most common way is in bustling cities, where a row of houses are built and rented out to shop owners as shops. For those with good business, the rent is several thousand wen per day, which not only quickly recovers costs, but also earns a lot of money.

But there are almost no cases like Zhu Zhan who directly delivers food to takeaway houses in bulk.

Only during the Song Dynasty did land be specifically allocated to build houses and shops on top, and then sold to the common people, but this was done in the name of the imperial court.

Ordinary businessmen cannot get involved. And it is mainly based on leasing, and no one relies solely on selling houses to make a living.

This is determined by the background of this era, which has always emphasized agriculture over commerce. At this time, being a landlord is discriminated against!

Not to mention being a developer.

In addition, being a developer requires a large amount of money, including buying land, building materials, hiring people, and managing relationships, all of which require spending money.

The operation is extremely difficult, and most importantly, the court does not allow merchants to purchase large amounts of land.

The land and land that merchants can purchase have indicators.

Zhu Cha is naturally different. He is the Seventh Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. To put it bluntly, the entire Qingzhou is his territory. Of course, he will not encroach on the existing properties of the people, but the houses he builds on idle land and earns money will all go into his own pocket.

He doesn't even need to pay any taxes to the court. His father still owes him money to build the Qi Palace.

So, not everyone can earn this money.

In the entire Qi region, only Zhu Cha can do this kind of business.

Of course, even if one has the qualifications and financial resources to engage in real estate business, they may not be able to do so in the usual way. For example, other feudal lords rarely have such ideas.

Because this business requires the support of a large influx of population!

Otherwise, the house won't sell at all!

The cost of building a house is not low either. With so many houses built without the support of population influx, who can we sell them to?

How can there be so many wealthy businessmen who are wrongly accused?! Shops can still be rented out, and wealthy businessmen can use them to make a profit. As for residential properties, even if they are forced to buy them, who will live in them?

After all, real estate is a high-value transaction, and for ordinary people, it is still a very expensive commodity.

Even for wealthy businessmen, buying a house is a very big deal because it will occupy a large amount of working capital. If it weren't for the influx of a large number of people in Qingzhou City in a short period of time, which can be expected to continue, and the rental market is good, merchants would not have taken the risk of buying properties here.

And once the real estate business starts, the money flows like it was given for free, rushing into the wallet and unstoppable.

Zhu Zhan has received a lot of silver and is recruiting a large number of long-term and short-term workers.

Not only did they recruit the people who built the Prince Qi's Mansion, but they also expanded the team building the asphalt road!

He is anxious because he knows that many significant events will happen in the coming years and he must plan ahead.

In the thirteenth year of the Hongwu reign, which is next year, Zhu Di's battle for the crown prince will be a complete failure, and he will be kicked by Zhu Yuanzhang to Beiping as a vassal and begin to strengthen his troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang executed the nine clans of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong on charges of 'misconduct', abolished the Prime Minister, reorganized six ministries, and strengthened centralization.

This year was a dark moment for the court, with a rare number of officials killed throughout history.

These are not what he cares most about. He chose to stay away from the court and had no intention of getting involved in the crown prince dispute.

Although he came to the Ming Dynasty, he also made some arrangements in recent years. He became a teacher to several ministers and also protected Liu Bowen, but almost no courtiers in the court turned to him.

Whether it's Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong, or Xu Da and others.

No one thinks he has the strength to compete for the position of crown prince.

Above the court, there are mainly two parties, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the Fourth Prince Zhu Di.

And he angered Longyan again, came to the Qi region, established his fiefdom in advance, and completely disappeared from the sight of the ministers.

As for Liu Bowen, whether he can survive the massacre next year, he has no idea, but now it doesn't matter.

Because of these ministers, he cannot utilize them and can only rely on himself.

What he was most worried about was what would happen three years later. In the fifteenth year of the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang would establish the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei was an intelligence gathering agency of the Ming Dynasty. Engage in activities such as reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, etc.

Appointed by trusted generals of the emperor, directly accountable to the emperor.

Anyone can be arrested, including the royal family and relatives, and a non-public trial can be conducted!

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was not until the 20th year of the Hongwu reign that the emperor realized the excessive power and rapid expansion of the Jinyiwei, their abuse of power and favoritism, and abolished them.

Zhu Zhan judged that these years will also be a difficult period for him to endure.

Because he will make many big moves in Qi Di, such as extensive cultivation of official roads.

On the one hand, the construction of official roads was to improve the transportation of the Ming Dynasty, accelerate the transmission of information, facilitate the flow of merchants, and enable the Ming Dynasty to quickly become strong and prosperous. On the other hand, it was also a precautionary measure!

The Qi region is very special. To the north is the fiefdom of Yan King Zhu Di, to the west is the fiefdom of Jin King, to the south is a few hundred miles, and you can go straight to Yingtian Prefecture. To the east is the sea.

Once the asphalt road is repaired, he can quickly mobilize troops to deal with the situation in all directions, and even head south to directly kill Ying Tianfu!

In recent years, he will also expand his industrial layout to various industries and quickly gather wealth.

And all these actions cannot be hidden from the Jinyiwei.

So, before the establishment of the Jinyiwei, he needed to build his own power, build high walls, accumulate grain, and hide soldiers from the people for emergencies!

When the Jinyiwei is established, even if something is found and the situation is critical, by then, his wings will be fully developed and he can sit firmly on the fishing platform.
