Yue Fei was not only a national hero, but also a commercial real estate owner in Song Dynasty.

Everyone knows that Yue Fei is a great national hero and the most outstanding strategist in the history of China, but few people know that Yue Fei is still a big landlord, and he also worked as a developer for some time.

Why is Yue Fei a big landlord? Because when Yue Fei was alive, he had "seven hectares of land, eighty-eight acres of land, eleven hectares of land and ninety-six acres of triangular land" in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. A hectare is 100 mu, a corner is 1/4 mu, and a step is 1/240 mu. If all the above area units are changed to "mu", it is equal to 788.25 mu of paddy field and dry land 1 196.75 mu. If these two units are added together, Yue Fei has 1985 mu of land.

You know, the Jiangnan area in the Southern Song Dynasty was very large, one mu was equivalent to the current 1.2 mu, and Yue Fei's 1.985 mu was actually more than 2,300 mu today.

Yue Fei, a senior general, holds several posts. He is not only "Deputy Commander of SHEN WOO", but also "Commander of Jinghu East Road" and "Tanzhou Magistrate". He is in charge of military defense and some civil affairs in nearly two provinces, and his power and treatment are very high. As the saying goes, one person is blessed and one person has a house. Yue Fei's position is high, so the family basically got rid of farming life. They don't need to farm more than 2,300 mu of land, so Yue Fei rents most of the land to tenants and collects tens of thousands of rents every year.

According to the custom of the Song Dynasty, "a family takes land as its name and is limited to 1,000 mu". If a family can own 1000 mu of land, it is already a great "potential family" Yue Fei's family only rents 1000 mu of land, so it's no exaggeration to call him a big landlord.

Talking about "big landlords" now is often derogatory. It seems that they all like to plunder and exploit, and they are as rich and heartless as Huang Shiren. Actually, it is not. Take the landlord Yue Fei as an example. His property is clean, partly from his generous salary and partly from his business operation.

Let's talk about salary first. In the Song Dynasty, the higher the rank of an official, the higher the salary. In the early years of Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court had to resist the attack of nomadic people and deal with peasant riots. In order to ensure that the generals would not rebel, the generals were given higher treatment. Yue Fei's salary adds up to more than 6000 yuan per month. At that time, the price of rice in Jiangnan was 3 stone. According to the calculation of 50 Jin of rice per stone in Song Dynasty, the consistent purchasing power is at least equivalent to that of 80 yuan now. Yue Fei's monthly salary and welfare at that time was more than 6,000 yuan, equivalent to about 480,000 yuan!

Let's talk business. In Shaoxing for ten years, Yue Fei "built 38 rooms in the center of Jiujiang, charging 430 yuan a day". "Gallery" refers to shops facing the street, and "rent money" means rent. In other words, Yue Fei has developed 38 shops and rented them out by him, with an average daily rental income of 1430p.

When Yue Fei developed shops in Jiujiang, it was the hottest period of the real estate market in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had just perished, and a large number of refugees fled from the hinterland of the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River and settled in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Wuhan, Changsha and other places, which led to a sudden outbreak of population and hot money in these cities and an abnormal prosperity in a short time. The vast number of new immigrants are in urgent need of housing, and businesses everywhere are also in urgent need of expanding their business areas. As a result, "the rich have huge rooms, but they actually have corridors", "all the teachers in front of the army set seats", housing shops mushroomed, and real estate development broke out.

Yue Fei caught up with the good times in enterprise management, but unfortunately failed to catch up with the good times in politics.
