Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said, "I can gather craftsmen myself to build houses and then sell them. Luoyang is about to flourish, and talents from all over the world will gather here. Do you think the houses in the inner city won't sell?"
Zhao Hu remained silent.
Zhao Hanzhang was not an ignorant Great General when it came to civil affairs. The money earned by the workshops under her command was no less than his, and she had countless craftsmen at her disposal. If she were forced, and refused to sell a single parcel of land, choosing instead to build houses herself, could they not buy them?
This is the inner city, close to the Imperial City, once home to prominent and noble families. If they wish to return to Luoyang, to the political center, would they not buy?
And those newly seeking to enter this circle, like Ji Yuan and Beigong Chun, would they not purchase a house?
