Moreover, they had driven away all the beggars from Changsi City, wasn't that just perfect! It was the perfect opportunity to reorganize and redevelop the slums of Changsi City, to, ahem, rebuild and develop new residential estates!
After all, everyone understands that officials also need to manage finances! They engage in corruption and embezzlement, extorting so much from the people, accumulating wealth like mountains. Now that the Divine Force currency has drastically depreciated, the losses of the nobility are much greater than those of the poor citizens!
But now that trade routes are cut off and the state finances are managed by the budget office, the price of silk fabric has skyrocketed, and the surrounding farmland and manors had already been divided and exhausted, what other better investment tools are there? What other eternal financial products exist?
Yes! Houses! Estates! How could the houses in Changsi City possibly fall in value? They're a sure profit, no loss!
