I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory Chapter 195.2
Free is impossible, after all, the higher-ups need to make money!
The Great Luo Emperor said with a forced smile on his face: Lets discuss now, how much would be reasonable for a concrete house!
If we consider the sturdiness of the house, 30 taels would be appropriate, but I still hope it could be cheaper!
I think around 30 taels would be good, considering how quickly they build the houses!
Ten taels of silver would be best, then I could afford it!
Everyone had their own opinions, and there was no consensus.
At this ti, a person who appeared to be old said, Actually, we can take a cue from Great Xia! Great Xia also sells cent houses, we can refer to their housing prices. Over there, its 25 taels of silver per house. As long as they also sell at 25 taels of silver, that should be about right! And if it could be even cheaper, that would be even better!
After hearing this, the Great Luo Emperor felt it made a lot of sense.
He turned to the officials accompanying him and whispered, Can we reduce the price to 25 taels of silver?
Your Majesty, we cant lower it!
The official replied with a wry smile, After our calculations, we can just about make a profit if we sell it at 35 taels of silver! If the price drops below 35 taels, we will be at a loss! The more we lower the price, the more we lose, and the more we sell, the bigger the loss!
Great Luo Emperor beca angry: Then why can Great Xia sell it so cheaply?
The official replied helplessly, Isnt it because their costs are lower? They use local materials because their resources are right at their doorstep! Although our resources are also quite close, there is still a certain distance, and transportation adds to the cost!
I dont care! First, lets lower the housing prices and sell so houses to address the ergency!
Yes, Your Majesty!
After returning, Great Luo Emperor imdiately lowered the housing prices to 25 taels of silver per house, the sa price as Great Xia.
However, there was a limit set, with only 100,000 houses available.
In this way, they could quickly recoup so funds while also controlling their own losses.
Three days passed, and finally, so houses were sold, but not many.
Great Luo Emperor was very puzzled; he had slashed the prices, so why were the houses still not selling?
So, he once again went incognito and encountered the sa group of people.
He asked, and it turned out that not a single one of them had bought a house.
The price has already been lowered to 25 taels of silver, why are you still not buying?
The price is indeed cheap enough, but I havent planned on settling in Great Luo, so why would I buy a house here? they laughed.
Great Luo Emperor was stunned: Why not live here? Look how good the Emperor is to you, providing you with food and money, selling you houses at a cheap price, allowing you to live the life you want!
The Emperor has indeed been good to us, but to be honest, the fact that he provides us with food and money involves a huge expense, and whether it can be sustained is a question! Therefore, we dare not take this risk!
Yes, the policy has just been implented, we dont know how long it will last!
Im also really worried about that!
Thats why I can only reluctantly leave with a heavy heart once Ive earned enough money!
Great Luo Emperor was very puzzled: If you dont stay here, where else can you go?
Of course, to Great Xia!
One of the forr beggars said as if it were obvious, Actually, I was planning to go to Great Xia in the first place, I just passed through here by chance! I found out that I could also work and earn wages here, so I stayed temporarily!
Yes, I think the sa! Once Ive earned enough money, Ill go to Great Xia!
There are cheap houses there too, and there are more opportunities to make money. Of course anyone wants to go there!
too! Over there, I can also join the army and have more opportunities to rise through the ranks! Many of my brothers have beco officials there and have turned their lives around; Im so envious!
Were all in the sa boat, why dont we travel together later?
Everyone agreed enthusiastically.
Great Luo Emperors face turned dark with anger!
He had provided for them, and yet they were taking his money and turning to embrace Great Xia!
It was as if he was funding the enemy with his own money!
They completely took him for a fool!
Great Luo Emperor was extrely angry and exclaid, Didnt Your Majesty say that once youre here, youre one of the Great Luo people? His Majesty treats you as his own, providing you with food and money, yet you betray him. How can you justify this to His Majesty?
The beggars were imdiately displeased.
Dont make it sound so noble!
He gives us money and food, and actually we work properly for him. Its a fair deal!
Exactly, he pays and we work. We dont owe each other anything!
Do you expect us to give our lives for these small favors?
Youre really making us laugh. Weve seen bootlickers, but I have never seen a dog like you!
Great Luo Emperor was so furious he almost fainted.
If it werent for his status as a wise ruler, he would have had them dragged away and beheaded long ago!
In the end, he returned to the imperial palace, seething with anger.
After so thought, he released another 100,000 sets of cent houses priced at 25 taels of silver as an ergency asure.
But still, very few people bought the houses.
It seed as if these people had made up their minds: earn money in Great Luo and then go to Great Xia to develop.
As for Great Luos houses, they wouldnt buy them, no matter how cheap they were.
They even ca up with a jingle:
Earn in Great Luo and spend it in Great Xia, marry and buy houses, be happy!
When Great Luo Emperor heard this, he almost fainted with rage again, grinding his teeth and saying, These troublemakers, they actually refuse to buy houses maliciously! They want to earn in Great Luo and spend in Great Xia? I wont let them take a single coin away!
