Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 248, Real Estate
Time went back to the day Du Mingen set off.

In Liu Jin’s small courtyard in Tianjin, Zhu Houzhao was feasting on all kinds of delicacies from Liu Jin’s family. While eating, he said, “Old Liu, you will enjoy it. All the royal cooks in the palace were chopped up, is that something for people to eat?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's gluttonous appearance, and listened to his words, he also smiled.

The level of the imperial chefs in this palace may not be very good indeed, this is because Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of their old Zhu family, bought it.

Zhu Yuanzhang divided people into three, six, and nine classes, and even divided them into artisan households, scorpion households, military households, etc. according to their occupations. The same is true for the chefs and imperial doctors in the palace.

This ancestor was the royal cook who cooked for the emperor, and the descendants are also royal cooks.

Logically speaking, if it is passed down from generation to generation, there should be some kind of craftsman spirit, and this skill will only become more and more exquisite.

But the fact is on the contrary, whether it is the imperial doctor or the imperial chef in the palace, they are basically inferior to each other, because no matter how their skills are, they will never lose their jobs.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, especially the emperors in the middle and late stages, rarely lived long. They basically died at the age of twenty or thirty. Like the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao who fell into the water, he died at the age of thirty-one. up.

The current Emperor Hongzhi only lived to be thirty-six years old. Taichang and Tianqi behind him were as fragile as women. After Emperor Hongzhi, except for Jiaqing and Wanli who lived longer, none of the other emperors lived past forty. Year-old.

This is not because the medical conditions in the Ming Dynasty were relatively poor. You must know that although the emperor was short-lived, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty had a surprisingly long life span. The cabinet is basically over [-] years old.

The current three cabinet elders, Liu Jian lived to be ninety-four years old, and Li Dongyang lived to be seventy years old. It is said that he only lived so much because of his poor health. As for Xie Qian, who lived to be eighty-three years old, he is also an old birthday star. .

From here, it is enough to show that the imperial doctors in the Daming Palace are basically the generation of rich and poor, and not many have real talents and knowledge, or the medical skills handed down in this family are becoming more and more ineffective.

Practicing medicine requires years of accumulation, especially Chinese medicine. Without years of accumulation, he cannot be regarded as a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner at all.

The imperial doctors in the palace, because they were all imperial doctors in the era, and they only treated the emperor, concubines, princes, princesses, etc. in the palace, it is difficult to accumulate any experience at all, this level can be imagined, It is estimated that it can only follow the example, not only the disease cannot be cured, but it may also cause death.

This may be an important reason for the short life of the Ming emperor.

Some people may say that since ancient times, the lifespan of an emperor has not been very high. After all, the state affairs are busy and overworked, and the harem is full of beauties. How can they live a long life?

But Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew that although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived, all the Qing emperors of the latter dynasty lived long lives, and most of them were long-lived emperors.

Qianlong lived to be eighty-nine, Kangxi and Daoguang lived to sixty-nine, Jiaqing lived to sixty-one, and Yongzheng lived to fifty-eight. It can be said that all of them lived longer.

From this, we can know that there must be a reason for the short life of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As for the genetic problem, most of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty lived longer and had many heirs. Otherwise, the old Zhu family would not have arrived. When the Ming Dynasty fell, there were nearly one million children of the royal family.

People in later generations who like to study history, after studying various aspects, came to a conclusion that all this was caused by Zhu Yuanzhang, the household registration system he set, and the children and grandchildren of later generations.

Liu Jin shook his head slightly, just seeing Zhu Houzhao having a meal, Liu Jin thought of so much unconsciously.

"Huh~ I'm full, it's so delicious."

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao touched his chubby belly, and he was satisfied and had a good meal.

"Your Highness, how about walking a hundred steps to ninety-nine after dinner, how about we take a walk in Tianjin together?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, thought for a while and said.

Zhu Houzhao finally came here, and he still has a lot of things to tell him.

"Live to ninety-nine? Is it too long?"

Zhu Houzhao heard it, thought for a while and said.

"Ah... please forgive me, Your Highness."

When Liu Jin heard it, sweat broke out slightly on his forehead. This Zhu Houzhao is talking ironically. He is His Royal Highness, so he is naturally a thousand years old. He said he lived to ninety-nine years. Said it was going to be beheaded.

"Haha, I've scared you, let's go, let's go, let's walk around Tianjin together, we haven't been here for a while, Tianjin seems to have changed a lot."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin's terrified look, and immediately burst out laughing happily.

Soon, Liu Jin accompanied Zhu Houzhao for a very leisurely walk while chatting.

"Tsk tsk, Tianjin is still full of vitality. No matter how you look at it, it feels novel. It's different every day. What is this new house used for? I remember that it was still a wasteland at that time."

Walking on the spacious concrete road, Zhu Houzhao pointed to a house near the sea and said.

The houses in this area are very neatly planned, all of them are small two-story western-style buildings with yards, made of reinforced concrete, the bricks are blue bricks, the outside is made of lime powder, and the windows are made of glass. The houses of the era are too far apart, giving people the feeling of being very bright and spacious.

"This house is in a community called Moon Bay. It is a specially built house and is ready for sale."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"Sell the house?"

"How many houses do you build at one time to sell?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he was slightly taken aback and said.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I build so many houses? The location of Moon Bay is very good. It is very close to Tianjin port, shipyard, and Tianjin cement factory. It is also a sea-view room. The sea-view room means it is near the sea. You can see the sea."

"In addition, the traffic here is very convenient. I have already had people pave the roads with concrete. This house was built according to the format I designed. This house will cost several hundred taels of silver. Bar."

Liu Jin took it for granted, and then began to introduce the geographical location, traffic conditions, etc. of the Moon Bay house like a few treasures.

"A set of several hundred taels of silver?"

"How is it possible? Houses in the capital city, even big houses with three entrants, can usually be bought for two hundred taels of silver. If you sell a set of several hundred taels of silver, who will buy your house?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

Although he doesn't like reading, he knows a lot of things. He also knows the price of houses in the capital very clearly.

"Your Highness, you are wrong. This house is not my house, it is our house."

"When we first came to Tianjin, we bought land in a big way. Millions of taels of silver were thrown into it. The biggest landlord in Tianjin is your Highness."

"The houses built here are naturally your Highness's, and I don't own as many shares as your Highness."

Liu Jin shook his head repeatedly and said.

"its mine?"

Zhu Houzhao was slightly taken aback when he heard it, then stared at the house with his small eyes, and then counted carefully: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to count. There are a total of [-] houses in Moon Bay, and I plan to sell each house for [-] taels of silver."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's appearance, Liu Jin couldn't help laughing. After hearing that these houses belonged to him, Zhu Houzhao's eyes seemed to be full of silver.

"Eight hundred and eighty sets, and each set is eight hundred and eighty taels. This is a total of more than [-] taels of silver."

Zhu Houzhao's calculations were good, and he calculated silently in his heart, and he figured out a rough idea at once, then thought for a while and said: "Lao Liu, can this house of [-] taels of silver be sold? "

"Of course it can be sold. If His Highness doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?"

Liu Jin said confidently.

"Liu Jin, come here, this house of [-] taels of silver is still here in Tianjin, do you want to buy it?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin's confident look, touched his chin, thought for a while and asked Liu Jin who was behind his butt.

"I wouldn't buy it, only a fool would buy it. There are more than [-] taels of silver here in the capital, which is enough to buy a big house in the inner city."

Liu Jin thought for a while, shook his head and said, he owns quite a few houses in the capital, and he knows the housing prices in the capital, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to come to Tianjin to buy such a house.

"Haha, let me just say, how can someone buy such an expensive house."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became more confident.

"Do you dare to make this bet with me, Your Highness?"

Liu Jin smiled slightly, still speaking confidently.

"Just bet, tell me, what are you betting on?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately replied that he did not believe that such an expensive house would be bought by anyone.

"Let's bet a thousand taels of silver, a small bet is fun."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"One thousand taels is too little. If you finally have a chance to win silver from a rich man like you, you must ask for at least ten thousand taels."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao shook his head repeatedly and said.

Well, classmate Zhu Houzhao is also rich and powerful now, just a glass factory is earning tens of thousands of gold every day, and the monthly dividends make Emperor Hongzhi regret that he only asked him for one million taels of silver.

What's more, there are many industries in Tianjin, and any one of them is a hen that lays golden eggs. He knows the monthly income very well, so he also knows that Liu Jin in front of him is also a real rich man, rich very.

"Okay, it's a deal, the house will be on sale in a few days, and we'll know when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin nodded in agreement.

　When real estate is started, money can't be buried in the ground, right?
