    City expansion has always been no small matter and takes up a lot of the budget every year.

    No matter how tight the finances were, Liu Ke never gave up and finally completed the expansion today.

    Dongyang City was originally just a small county town with a population of no more than 10,000, but Liu Ke had been recruiting refugees, and later the population reached one million.

    How could so many people be crowded into a small county town? Expansion became an imperative.

    If all the expansion is done with stone, then an entire mountain will definitely have to be hollowed out.  But with the combination of reinforced concrete, the situation is different. The project can be divided into many steps and carried out simultaneously, greatly reducing the time.

    Compared with Luoyang, Dongyang City definitely has many shortcomings, but in terms of overall planning, it is definitely first-rate.  Use the smallest area to accommodate the largest population.

    The resettlement of millions of people is basically in one area.  This is mainly due to the multi-story construction of buildings, which has greatly changed people's lifestyles.

    Logically speaking, Dongyang City can accommodate a population of 1.5 million, but Liu Ke took into account the continued growth of the population and reserved some living space.

    Even so, Dongyang City is bustling with activity.

    In addition to the houses promised to the people, Lu Su has also reserved nearly 200,000 suites. Among them, the courtyards and mansions with the largest area are very popular, and there are nearly 100,000 stores.

    These are the means Liu Ke used to attract wealthy households and businessmen, and now they finally come in handy.

    It¡¯s hard to make money for the common people, but the money of these wealthy households and businessmen is nothing.

    Therefore, Lu Su had already drawn up the price, but he didn¡¯t know why Liu Ke did this.

    However, he saw some clues, that is, he wanted to make money.

    "My lord, this is the real estate information you want. I've prepared the price." Lu Su said with a cupped hand.

    Liu Ke looked at a lot of documents and was very satisfied. This is a very huge workload.

    This is also one of the reasons why Liu Ke added arithmetic courses in the academy. If officials can't even understand this, it's better not to use it.

    Liu Ke personally selected 10,000 stores in poorer locations and said, "Let these go out first and test the reaction of the merchants."

    Lu Su nodded, but as soon as they were released, they were sold out as if they had been robbed.

    For this reason, Liu Ke earned a million gold.

    Lu Su was stunned. Maybe in a few days, all the cost of expanding the city would be earned back.

    But Liu Ke was not in a hurry to sell the second batch. He was waiting for the arrival of merchants and nobles from Xuzhou and Jingzhou.

    The news has been spread, and they will definitely pounce on us.

    What¡¯s more, Liu Ke promised that all businessmen and nobles who purchased real estate in Dongyang City would be protected.

    In other words, no matter when, even if Jingzhou and Xuzhou are defeated, you can move to Yangzhou, as long as you have real estate in Dongyang!

    Businessmen and nobles like to prepare with multiple hands, let alone in troubled times.

    Maybe one day, the war will hit you. How will you run away then?

    No place is safer than Yangzhou.

    So, after hearing the news, businessmen and nobles from Xuzhou and Jingzhou came one after another.  They were very alert and transported goods from the state. As for those transporting money, it didn't matter. Liu Ke sent countless troops to protect them along the way.

    Only then did they really feel Yangzhou's powerful army, and they couldn't help but be extremely excited.

    It is absolutely safe to live in a place like this!

    In the past few days, Lu Su was too busy to keep his feet off the ground, and Chen Qun was even more dizzy under his orders.

    ??He kept receiving visitors, and a total of thirty or forty thousand people came.

    Don¡¯t underestimate these people. Their combined wealth can buy the entire Yangzhou. They are truly as rich as any country.

    In this era, the people are suffering.  At best, merchants would earn less. As for the nobles, the impact would be minimal because they owned land.

    ¡° Moreover, rulers must curry favor with the gentry, otherwise government orders cannot be issued at all.

    It is these 30,000 to 40,000 people who have revitalized the entire economy of Dongyang City.  Such as accommodation and various small vendors.

    When they arrive, they will definitely not return empty-handed, so Yangzhou merchants can also get rid of their goods and make a real fortune.

    Liu Ke did not expect that so many people would come at once. Including the counties in Yangzhou, the number would be almost 100,000.

    In ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, there was rarely such momentum. It is no surprise that the prosperity of Dongyang City will soonTherefore, courtyards and mansions are the places to compete for financial resources.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  This is just housing, which was not very valuable in ancient times, because a village could be established in any place in the wilderness.

    This is also the reason why Shanyue is so rampant, but now they are honest.

    Liu Ke doesn¡¯t understand the world of rich people. He just needs to count the money with his eyes closed.

    The auction lasted for three days. Liu Ke ordered delicious food and drinks for them. As expected, they did not disappoint Liu Ke.

    The first batch of auctions is over.

    No one knows how much Liu Ke earned.

    Some people say that Liu Ke earned five million gold, while others say that Liu Ke earned ten million gold.

    But one thing is certain, everyone who comes to Yangzhou goes back satisfied.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
