Lan Yu's explanation was completely logical.
This was especially true for the security deposit. It was very new, but it made a lot of sense when he thought about it carefully!
There were many businessmen who forsaken righteousness for the sake of profit. How could they guarantee that these people could complete their tasks?
Sometimes, the laws of the Ming Dynasty did not necessarily work. There were many people who dared to make money without thinking.
Only by handing over the deposit as a form of collateral and selecting reputable old merchants could the construction project be stopped.
This method was new to the nobles.
However, if Su Yang was here, he would definitely feel that it was too normal!
This was how modern developers built their houses.
They had to pay a deposit to the bank. This money could not be used without the approval of the supervisory department, the developer, and the bank!
Once the developer ran away, the money would be used to solve the problem!
The reason why many unfinished buildings were formed and the developers ran away after the suspension was because the deposit was illegally misused.
The supervisory department and the bank were both responsible for this!
Of course, these nobles of the Ming Dynasty probably wouldn't do something as shameless as running away.
After all, the entire world was the land of the king. The four directions of the Ming Dynasty were in turmoil. Even if they ran, where could they run to?
In today's Ming Dynasty, it was better to kneel down and beg Zhu Yuanzhang for forgiveness!
Once something was opened, someone would take advantage of it. Never underestimate the wisdom of others.
Just like this group of dignitaries, when they heard that the power to build a new city was being delegated, everyone began to make plans in their hearts.
What they had to consider now was how to get a share of the profits legally and reasonably.
Lan Yu's gaze swept across the crowd, taking in everyone's expressions.
He despised her in his heart, but he was also even more shocked!
Some methods seemed to be right in front of them, but if others did not mention them, everyone would be blind.
This was the case now. The nobles were calculating how to get some benefits, while Lan Yu was calculating how many nobles would be unlucky this time.
Hu Weiyong thought for a moment and roughly understood this operation.
"My lords, I must remind you that the construction of the new city will benefit the people, but it does not mean that you will have an advantage."”
"There are many old and famous brands in Great Ming, some of which have been passed down since the Song Dynasty. If such old and famous brands can get the opportunity to build an Imperial City, they will definitely not let it go.”
"Therefore, if there was a fair competition and the Imperial Court chose you, you might not stand a chance!”
These words were like a basin of cold water, immediately waking up the nobles who were still dreaming.
When Lan Yu heard Hu Weiyong's words, he thought to himself that the old man was a good helper. He was just worrying about how to start this conversation. Wasn't this giving him a pillow when he was sleepy?
Before the nobles could ask, Blue Jade took the initiative to say,"Everyone, we might have a chance. This news…hasn't spread yet!”
Lan Yu's words made everyone's eyes light up again!
That's right, the news of Zhu Biao's patrol hadn't spread yet, and it was the nobles who knew first!
Even if Zhu Biao went to Fengyang tomorrow, the local people and merchants wouldn't know what he was going to do.
After all, how could the Crown Prince's whereabouts and motives be easily guessed?
Lan Yu's words were hinting to everyone that this matter had to be hidden for the time being.
Not only did they have to hide it, but they also had to do it in secret. It would be best if they could divide up the spots before the Imperial Court issued an official document!
However, how to operate it was a difficult problem!
Seeing this, Lan Yu took the initiative to say,"Everyone, this matter is actually easy to handle. Actually, the problem lies with the Crown Prince."”
"The Crown Prince's trip should be to survey the location of the new city and also to share the Emperor's worries. Therefore, the supervision of the new city should be fully in the Crown Prince's charge.”
"As long as we can convince the Crown Prince and give him a guarantee and strength, I'm afraid that the spots will all fall into our pockets before the construction of the new city is announced!”
"Everyone, think about it. What relationship do we have with the Crown Prince? How could the Crown Prince not use acquaintances and use unfamiliar merchants?”
It had to be said that Blue Jade's mouth was also quite powerful. Her words made everyone move.
At the same time, their gazes were focused on him.
The person who could be close to the Crown Prince was none other than Lan Yu!
Most likely, the final foothold of this matter would still be on Lan Yu.
Some of the nobles were already thinking about what Lan Yu liked and were prepared to give her gifts in advance!
After all, the quota was limited, and they had to rush for time to sneak in. How could they not cut the queue?
He couldn't just wait for others to make money when the imperial edict for the construction of the new city was issued and the quota was not settled yet!
Blue Jade took in everyone's reactions. She was pleased in her heart, but her expression did not show it.
Because he still had a piece of important news to release.
This news would probably make the nobles even more excited than the new city construction quota!
"Everyone, calm down. I haven't finished speaking!”
This time, no one dared to disobey Lan Yu's words, and they all quieted down.
Seeing this, Lan Yu was very satisfied.
After a pause, he slowly said,"Everyone, I heard a month ago that there were some strange movements in the southern barbarians. I'm afraid that a war is about to break out. In addition, the flood in Jiangnan Road is serious.”
"If the news of the Emperor wanting to build a new city and move the capital were to spread, I'm afraid things would change.”
"Putting everything else aside, Liu Bowen will definitely take the lead in opposing it!”
"Everyone, think about it. If he objects, the Emperor will definitely consider it. Wouldn't this opportunity to make money slip away?”
"So, what I mean is that when you go back, don't make a sound. Just pretend that this matter doesn't exist.”
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. The Emperor will definitely not mention this matter in the imperial court or the harem.”
"There's no need to talk about the Crown Prince. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will set off for Fengyang, so he probably won't reveal his purpose to the outside world.”
"Since the higher-ups are so secretive, we naturally have to keep a low profile.”
Everyone nodded.
Some even said that the news should be completely blocked!
The Crown Prince's inspection tour of Fengyang could not be concealed. After all, the Crown Prince's carriage leaving the palace would cause too much of a commotion.
However, if someone else wanted to ask, everyone would have to cover their mouths and keep their mouths shut.
Otherwise, if the duck that was in his mouth flew away, he could not blame anyone else!
Seeing that the dignitaries did not need to persuade them and were already thinking of ways to cover their mouths, Lan Yu was smiling in her heart, but she suppressed it and did not dare to show it.
Perhaps some people still had doubts.
However, once the Crown Prince set off for Fengyang tomorrow, these people would be reassured!
They would fight to the death for the construction of the new city!
Lan Yu imitated Hu Weiyong's actions and raised her hand to press twice. Everyone immediately quieted down.
"Everyone, this is not the only place to make money in the construction of the new city!”
"As far as I know, there's another business that is even more profitable than building a new city!”
"If we can get this, not only will we be able to earn several times more profits than building a new city, but we can even make the land in our hands public!”
Blue Rain's words were like a heavy bomb, causing many of the seated dignitaries to stand up in shock!
