Kangxi did not make any big moves. He let Zhang Tingyu know in advance and asked him to inform the General Commercial Association that he planned to organize another large-scale bidding meeting on June 1. At that time, all the famous wealthy business families in the south and north must be invited to come. The capital city shared a "prosperous" event.
Kangxi said with a cold expressionless smile: "If you take it privately, send it back to me; if you owe the Ministry of Revenue, make it up to me; if you steal from the official treasury, hand it over to me"
Emperor Kangxi smiled like a cat that had succeeded in stealing. In the past, when Obai advocated for Manchu nobles and horse racing to enclose land for military merit, it aroused great dissatisfaction among the Han landowners. But now Kangxi used the excuse of the deficit in the treasury to first Start by grabbing all the suitable plots of land in the capital.

Kangxi replied indifferently: "No, I just want to give them a wake-up call. No matter what I have done, I have to pay it back sooner or later. If I owe a hundred and ten taels of silver on credit, just to supplement my family's life, I also know that I live a poor life, so naturally I will not It¡¯s too difficult for them. If they have the idea of ??reaping huge benefits, it will be in vain that they have spent many years of sage books, huh"
While Kangxi was thinking about it, his subordinates were not slow in their actions. He summoned Ling Pu into the palace for a briefing. The next day, many compradors from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were sent to various places to contact economic affairs. The price acquisition was successful, and several large tracts of the emperor's private properties were built in prosperous areas of the capital.
"I took advantage at that time, but it has become a nightmare now, and I can't delay it any longer." Everyone listened to the emperor's words with their own ears, and directly targeted the officials of Jiangnan Prefecture by name. They just borrowed the hundred taels they owed and paid them back. The huge debt was due to a tight time limit, and most of them would not give up if they refused to dismiss their official positions, ransack their homes, and be converted into slaves. Hugh's situation, this edict is really worrying. For a time, people in the capital were in panic. The prices of shops, houses, and fields in the capital city dropped three times a day, as people scrambled to sell the private properties of the royal family and high-ranking officials who were eager to cash out.
Mingzhu was sweating profusely after hearing the words. Kangxi actually had something to say but was thinking in his heart. Those are all my money. Who dares not to pay them back, confiscate his property, seize his fields, sell his wife, and enslave his children? , always telling them that they cannot escape the punishment of the law.
Find a way to surf the Internet next door. The language barrier is very frustrating. My sign language ability has greatly improved.
Emperor Kangxi had a calculation in his mind. From ancient times to the present, houses and fields have been the most difficult fixed assets. Under the premise of consolidating capital and preserving value, there is still room to increase income and create profits, not to mention that those acquired are in central areas within the Fourth Ring Road of the city. If Kangxi was determined to engage in urban construction planning or carry out unified reconstruction of old areas, the municipal relocation costs would be spent continuously, but now he saves money and worry, and no one dares to criticize him. Kangxi thought and smiled. Eye. Kangxi had already planned to plan several large commercial streets, high-end residential areas, and leisure areas in prototype, and then divide the plots into auctions. After changing hands back and forth, he would be able to earn at least dozens of times the price difference.
After Kangxi heard the news, he was initially angry because it was common practice for officials to conceal IOUs and pay off debts, but later he became a little shaken. During this period, the great scholar Mingzhu came to the emperor and asked the emperor if the repayment period could be slightly postponed to facilitate the raising of money.
