Chapter 46

Although order was maintained, the number of people coming to buy houses kept increasing, forming several long queues. The officials in charge of selling houses were limited and were so busy that they couldnt finish by nightfall.

Heshen had no choice but to dispatch some people to assist with the registration procedures.

But in the end, even as dusk fell, the number of buyers did not decrease, while the court officials were already exhausted to the point of seeing stars.

Were closing for the day, please come back tomorrow!Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The crowd queuing up immediately became agitated, surrounding the officials and not letting them leave.

How can we wait until tomorrow? What if the prices go up again by then?

Yes, Your Majesty is too fickle, raising the price by one tael of silver each day, who can bear that?

We really cant afford it!

It must be settled for me today, otherwise, I wont return!

But weve been busy all day, you have to let us rest!

The officials were very helpless, having been in office for so many years, none had been as exhausting as today.

You are not allowed to leave! The common people adamantly refused.

This

Heshen gazed at the long line of commoners still waiting and fell into deep thought. He said, Well then, its not easy for the common people to buy houses, so lets put in some extra effort! You all keep busy, and I will call some more people over to help! Well take turns resting and working, and in this way, well get things done quickly!

Thank you! the commoners cheered and leaped for joy.

Thus, everyone worked tirelessly through the night, and houses were sold one after another.

Those who sold were happy, and so were the buyers.

In just one day, 20,000 housing units were sold, bringing in 200,000 taels of silver.

After this event, it completely ignited a housing-buying frenzy.

The first phase of housing is all sold out, and the second phase is on sale now, all while giving money to that foolish emperor!

What kind of logic is this? I cant make heads or tails of it!

Its really like seeing a ghost! That foolish emperor has dodged another bullet!

Seeing that foolish emperor make money is even more painful than me losing money!

Heaven is truly blind!

At this moment, within the imperial palace, Heshen reports to Lin Beifan with a face full of joy.

Report to Your Majesty, the first phase of the housing has been completely sold out, and more than half of the second phase has been sold, bringing in a total of 2.12 million taels of capital! We have not only paid all the wages but there is also a surplus!

And furthermore, each month we will be able to recoup about 150,000 taels of funds, plus the tax revenue of 200,000 taels, our national treasury can fully support us for half a year!

Additionally, with the continued sales of the second phase of housing and the commencement of mineral sales, funds will continue to be recouped. Your humble servant is fully confident that we can achieve a balanced budget after half a year!

Good! Very good! Lin Beifan nodded in satisfaction.

Yaoyao was shocked: Little foolish emperor, you really managed to do it, getting the common people to willingly hand over their money! But Yaoyao doesnt understand why the more expensive the houses are priced, the faster they seem to sell. It makes no sense at all!

Lin Beifan sighed: All I can say is, this is human nature! Human nature is to covet small advantages, fear losses, be blindly confident, and on top of that, theres the herd effect. Thats why such a phenomenon occurs!

Yaoyao scratched her head: I dont understand

Its normal not to understand; given your intelligence, it would indeed be difficult for you to comprehend. You just need to shout 666 and thats enough! (TLN: 666 is internet slang cool/awesome.)

Yaoyao got angry: Are you calling me stupid?

Lin Beifan said earnestly, No, Im complimenting you for being pure and cute!

Hmph! At least you have good taste! Yaoyao said with a proud and coquettish smile.
