Chapter 635

Yuchi Jingde said that it was impossible for Wei Hao to go to the battlefield, and the other ministers nodded. No matter whether they were civil servants or generals, they all knew Wei Hao's skills. They admired his ability, but if he really died in battle, then they would not accept it.

"Well, what Jingde said is right. Shenyong cannot go to the battlefield. Not only can he not go to the battlefield, but he must also protect it. Come on, go up, let's go to the second floor. I have prepared a celebration banquet for you. Today, no Don't return drunk!" Li Shimin said happily,
When Wei Hao heard this, he quickly hid behind him. This time, he couldn’t be fooled. Last time, he drank too much and suffered for a whole day. Today, he stopped drinking. When he arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor, Li Shimin wanted to call Wei Hao to the front. Go, Wei Hao said nothing, just sat with those young generals who just came back.

"Okay, don't call him anymore. If he gets drunk, I will be in trouble again. Last time, my girl had a big opinion on me!" Li Shimin persuaded Cheng Yaojin and the others.

"What are you afraid of, isn't it just that your beard was cut off? Anyway, it hasn't happened before!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Shimin and said indifferently, and the other ministers also laughed. Li Lizhi really did this before.

"You old man, I have managed to trim these beards in the past two years, and I will be cut off by that girl, how can I do it? Come, come, drink, besides, Shen Yong can't drink much, drink with him, Boring!" Li Shimin smiled and cursed at Cheng Yaojin,

After the banquet, those people were all drunk, Wei Hao went home happily, he didn't drink any alcohol, just got home, Li Lizhi still smelled Wei Hao, found no smell of alcohol, and looked at Wei Hao strangely.

"I avoided it, don't worry, I won't drink it!" Wei Hao said proudly to Li Lizhi.

"You're smart, by the way, the cotton will be picked tomorrow, and a lot of people need to be hired. It is estimated that we can pick a lot of cotton this year, and our cotton cloth is now selling very well, and the people are rushing to get it. Yes, it can relieve a lot of pressure!" Li Lizhi said to Wei Hao.

"Well, you also take care of this? Isn't dad taking care of it?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi in surprise and said, the picking of cotton was basically arranged by his father, and the farming was arranged by his father.

"Father said that from this year onwards, we will take care of it. He said that all the things in the family will be handed over to us. They didn't care about it, and said they were going to enjoy the blessings. I thought, yes, parents are so old. It was time to rest, so I discussed it with Siyuan, who asked me to manage the farmland affairs,
There is a lot of farmland in my family. Now I calculate it, it is almost 10 mu. This year, I have planted more than 4 mu of sweet potatoes and more than 2 mu of cotton. Not enough, but sell it to Jingzhao Mansion! " Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said.

"If you sell them, all the sweet potatoes will be given to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will promote all of them next year. We don't need to grow so many sweet potatoes next year. We will plant rice next year!" Wei Hao nodded and explained to Li Lizhi,

Li Lizhi nodded, knowing that Wei Hao was about to start stockpiling food seeds, and if the sweet potatoes were sold, although they were valuable, Wei Hao's family didn't care about such a small amount of money at all, and the family was not short of money. Only Li Siyuan and Li Lizhi knew the exact amount, Wei Hao didn't know either.

After Wei Hao and Li Lizhi finished chatting, they went back to the study and continued to plan the expansion of the city, including calculating how much money it would cost and how much manpower would be needed. The carriage is good, plus there are many horses, and the road is also good, it is estimated to be much faster,

Moreover, Wei Hao will also prepare some labor-saving tools to increase the speed of construction. For the next two days, Wei Hao will be busy with this matter in his study, and Li Tai also officially mentioned to Li Shimin about expanding Chang'an City. build an outer city,
Li Tai's memorial was immediately ordered by Li Shimin to be published by the Ministry of Education for the officials to discuss. Now, everyone's minds are active.
On Li Tai's side, land transactions within 15 miles outside Chang'an City were also completely blocked, private transactions were not allowed, and if private transactions were invalid, some businessmen wanted to buy land outside the city after knowing the news I found that the land could not be traded, so I wanted to buy a homestead, hoping to build a house in advance. In this case, they will be considered as people in Chang'an City in the future, but those people are also smart, and they have heard the news. Sell, but also guard the homestead of your own village!

The court has been discussing this matter, most of the ministers agree, and some ministers are worried that the population of Chang'an City is too large, and the pressure on food and water sources is very high. If such a large city is expanded, the population will increase. Once there is a food crisis at that time, what can we do?
Some ministers are worried that such a large city will increase a lot of costs. As far as the taxation of Datang is concerned, it will be difficult to complete such a magnificent project in a short period of time, because Li Tai said that the entire Chang'an City needs Expand more than 10 miles in all directions, and make decisions based on terrain and terrain. At that time, there will be many lakes, small rivers, hills, etc. in the outer city.

However, those ministers are also waiting for Wei Hao's plan. Only when the plan comes out, those ministers will consider how big the expansion will be. In addition, those ministers also know whether their own land will be in Chang'an City , if it's in Chang'an City, it's worth a lot of money,
For example, in Zhuangzi where Wei Hao's food town is located, all the land belongs to Wei Hao, and those fertile fields can be replaced, but those areas where houses are built, and those wastelands near the village, there is no need to exchange them. Wei Hao's area is not small. Wei Hao has more than 3 mu of fertile land, which is within the standard range of the outer city.

Those wastelands and homesteads are estimated to cover an area of ​​more than 3000 mu. These lands are worth a lot of money when sold. Now in Chang'an City, one mu of land can be sold for 3000 yuan.Other Xungui mansions also began to send people to sort out the land in the village where their family indicated. This is money.

Changsun Wuji also sent someone to measure it at this moment. This news is good news for Changsun Wuji. The fertile land awarded by Changsun Wuji is all over 5000 mu near Chang'an, and there are three in the village. The homestead is estimated to be several hundred acres, and now Changsun Wuji is very much in favor of building and expanding the city.
Because he has many sons, now he wants to build mansions for those sons, but he finds that there is no place to build them. The city was about to be built, of course he was happy, and his son would also be able to go to the outer city to build a mansion.

"Have you finished the statistics? Remember, whoever buys the land will not sell it. Did you hear that?" Changsun Wuji said to Changsun Chong. Changsun gave him a blank look. The battlefield was originally the magistrate of Chang'an County. Don't know yet?

"You child, when the time comes, will your younger brothers have places to build houses? Just look at these places, you know?" Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes when he saw Changsun Chong, and immediately said to Changsun Chong.

"I know, that's all right, don't think too much about this matter, the court will definitely take back those lands at that time, it is impossible for a family to control so much land, otherwise, where the people live, now Chang'an City There are more and more people, and many of them are building sheds outside the city. This is definitely not possible, and needs to be solved. Moreover, the newly built houses are not enough now, and we must continue to build them!" Chang Sun Chong looked helplessly. Changsun Wuji said,

I am the county magistrate of Chang'an County. Of course, I know that the land is tight. How can I let those nobles control all the land? The court must have plans to buy it. Of course, compensation will be given, but if too much is given Compensation, probably not, originally the expansion of the court would cost a lot of money, if those nobles still want to get some money from it, then the emperor will hold grudges!
"Okay, I got it, I figured out a way, but, you said, will the court take back those lands? Will you take them?" Changsun Wuji looked at Changsun Chong and asked.

"Of course I have to collect it. How could I not accept it? If not, how much free land is there outside?" Chang Sun Chong nodded and said.

"Then tell me. How about we sell it now?" Changsun Wuji immediately stared at Changsun Chong and asked. He was also worried that he would not be able to get the money when the court collected it.

"Stop all transactions now. The king of Wei has already issued an order, and no records will be filed. All current transactions will not be recognized. Father, if you do this and sell to those people, you will be in trouble when something happens.
Father, don't think about this matter anymore. It's okay to give these lands to the emperor. The emperor will definitely not let us suffer. When the younger brothers want to build a mansion, I will also pay for it. A few years of income is also okay. "Chang Sun Chong said,
Now Changsun Chong earns quite a lot. Of course, they all make money with Wei Hao, but Changsun Wuji doesn’t have much money, because Changsun Wuji and Wei Hao had a bad relationship before, and he didn’t take Changsun Wuji much. He was still in Luoyang. I got him a share in a workshop, and he can get some money a year, but compared with other nobles, it is far behind.

"Okay, the old man knows, the old man thinks of a way." Changsun Wuji nodded and said, and at this moment, in other people's houses, they are also discussing the construction of a new city, hoping to get money in it, but now Everyone is waiting for Wei Hao's plan to come out.

On this day, Wei Hao finished the planning and called Li Tai to sit at the mansion.

"Brother-in-law, let me take a look first!" Li Tai sat there, unfolding the plan and looking at it.

"Beautiful!" Li Tai looked at it, first of all, he said it was beautiful, Wei Hao was inside, but many functional areas were planned, and a lot of land was spared as spare land.

"Look, the main area for the construction of houses this time is the south city, the east city and the west city, which are not being developed for now. The north city is mainly used as a military camp, and some workshops of the Ministry of Industry will all be moved in by then. Go to Beicheng. In addition, the families of soldiers also need to build houses in this area of ​​Beicheng for them to live in.
Of course, these houses belong to the Ministry of War. As long as they are soldiers serving in the capital, they may be allocated a house. They are divided according to their military rank. On the south side of the city, the market and workshops are near the east, and the common people live and work near the west. Leisure places, because a large number of workshops need water sources, and most of the goods are also sent to the south." Sitting there, Wei Hao explained to Li Tai, Li Tai nodded and watched carefully.

"In addition, there is a county government in Dongcheng and Nancheng, and a county government in Beicheng and Xicheng. Although there are not many people in Beicheng and Xicheng, there are quite a few people, which are more crowded than state capitals in many places. Therefore, It can be established, and the inner city will be withdrawn and merged into a county government. The county government in the inner city will manage the affairs of the inner city. A county government office!" Wei Hao said to Li Tai.

"Okay, that is to say, Chang'an County and Wannian County moved out, and a county government was set up in the inner city, right?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Yes, specialize in managing the affairs of the inner city!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"Okay, brother-in-law, there is no problem on my side, anyway, it is better than I imagined, if we really want to do it, then we need to prepare in advance now!" Li Tai said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"It also depends on the opinions of the father and the ministers. In addition, these lands are not easy to take back. The outside lands are all from nobles and noble families. If they are taken back, the cost will be too high. I will give you one." Suggestion, that is to say, the replacement land should be replaced by 2% more land, and in addition, no tax will be collected within three years, so the court will not need to spend much money!" Wei Hao said while looking at Li Tai.

"Well, I also have a headache about this, but if my brother-in-law follows what you said, then you will lose a lot!" Li Tai nodded, then looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"I have nothing to lose, small things, I don't care about this little money, but other nobles may not, so you and the emperor should discuss the specific plan, this must be agreed by the nobles! For example, For each honorable person, reserve 200 acres of homestead in the outer city for their heirs in the future!" Wei Hao smiled bitterly and said, this matter is something that offends others, it is not easy for him to make a decision, he still needs the consent of the ministers That's right, it might not be a good thing if it is forced to go on!
"Let's go, go to the father's side. The father has urged me several times to come to your house to have a look. I said, brother-in-law, if you finish it, you will definitely call me. Why are you urging me?" Li Tai After putting away the plan, he said to Wei Hao.
