After that, Lin Beifan left all the matters to Heshen and then went off to enjoy himself.
Heshen felt extremely helpless and utterly frustrated.
The issue with the national treasury was still unresolved, and now there were a bunch of other troublesome matters piled upit was practically the death of him!
But no matter how upset he was inside, he could only endure and get on with it, holding his nose.
Subsequently, Heshen gathered tens of thousands of people on the open ground next to Capital City, where they began constructing cement houses.
In just a few days, rows of cement houses sprang up from the ground.
At the same time, it was advertised that these houses were for sale.
This situation quickly attracted the attention of the common people from Capital City, who came to watch in their spare time.
Are the houses here for sale?
Of course, they are for sale. We built them specifically to sell! an official said with a smile.
This house looks a bit strange
Thats because these houses are all built with cement! Let me tell you, this cement is a type of building material invented by His Majesty. Building houses with cement is very fast, and they are big and sturdy too. Dont believe me? Come and see for yourselves!
The townsfolk walked into the house to give it a try.
This house is really solid, just like one built with green bricks!
Its true, even a hoe cant break through!
What a great house!
At this moment, someone asked, Such a nice house, how much does it cost?
The official held up two fingers: Only 20 taels of silver!
The crowd exploded in disbelief.
What? Such a great house for only 20 taels?
At this moment, the official shouted, Folks, for the first phase, we are only building 100,000 houses, which will take more than half a year! It will be after half a year that we can start building the second phase of houses!
The number of houses is limited, so if you want to buy one, you must act quickly. This way, in half a year, you can move into a big and sturdy concrete house! Otherwise, youll have to wait until next year!
However, there were more onlookers than actual buyers, with very few transactions taking place.
The news spread quickly throughout the land, and everyone began to ridicule the situation.
The foolish emperor is actually selling houses? It must be because theres no money left in the national treasury, so hes come up with this method to raise funds!
Of course! With the way he spends money, which country could sustain it?
Yes, I heard that in just two months, he has already spent over a million taels, and the national treasury has long been empty!
As a result, now hes trying to sell houses, but he cant sell many. He cant get the money back, haha!
The foolish emperor, this is reaping what he sowed, serves him right!
However, what piques my curiosity is, what is this cement?
Who cares, who knows?
Heshen saw it with his own eyes and felt anxious in his heart because the day to distribute money was approaching.
If the money couldnt be paid out by then, there would be big trouble.
Having no choice, he had to enter the palace and report the matter to Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan was very calm and said, Since they dont want it when its sold to them cheaply, then Ill raise the price! Lets increase it by one tael of silver first, and see if they want it then?
Sitting beside her, Yaoyao was shocked: What kind of divine move is this? Has your head gone dizzy again? People didnt want it when you sold it for 20 taels, and now they want it when you sell it for 21 taels?
Just watch, wont you know then? Lin Beifan said with a soft chuckle.
