Chapter 175 Contradictory transfer (four thousand to subscribe)

Sang Hongyang also nodded.

Although he was nodding, he didn't think so in his heart, how could it be possible for me to give talents to other offices.

These people were all found by him with great difficulty, and they all had some basic knowledge in arithmetic. After a little training, they would be qualified officials.

Now that they have Huo Shan's arithmetic and abacus, let them learn these, then they will be a seasoned old official.

How could such talents be given to other bureaucrats.

If others want it, they can cultivate it themselves.

As for the inexhaustible problem... How can there be endless talents!
His Dasinong used to only keep from collapsing, but now he just has enough manpower.

Even if the efficiency is increased, it is impossible to let these people have nothing to do.

He, Da Si Nong, has a lot of old accounts, and if he just takes out some, it will be enough for these officials to count for a long time.

After talking about the arithmetic, Huo Shan was going to take the opportunity to talk to Sang Hongyang about the two of them, and he also wanted to get to the bottom of it with him.

It is the matter of the new capital city, and this matter is not only related to Da Si Nong and Shao Fu, once it is activated, the captain of Shui Heng, the general master craftsman, etc. all have to move.

.........

"Did Mr. Sang hear about the new capital city?"

Sang Hongyang was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully:

"capital?"

Liu Che hadn't told them yet, and Gongsun He naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, so he didn't know about it yet.

Huo Shan nodded:
"Your Majesty is planning to build a new capital city."

Sang Hongyang immediately became serious. This is a big deal. He asked cautiously:

"Where is the repair? How many times is it compared to Chang'an today?"

Huo Shan smiled and gestured with his fingers:
"It's built in the south of Chang'an, at the Yulin camp. It's three times the size of Chang'an, with a population of one million."

Sang Hongyang felt a heavy blow to his chest, and the numbers three times and one million echoed in his mind, which made him a little breathless!
Seeing Sang Hongyang's loveless look, Huo Shan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

After Sang Hongyang was stunned for a while, he said with grief and indignation:

"Why does Your Majesty have the idea of ​​building a new capital?"

Huo Shan coughed twice, as if he didn't hear this sentence.

Sang Hongyang understood immediately, and then directly changed the object of grief and anger.

After the two were silent for a while, Sang Hongyang first took a few deep breaths, calmed down, looked at Huo Shan and asked:

"How to do?"

"What do you mean?"

Sang Hongyang almost didn't hold back, and shouted angrily:

"The capital city, what else can it be!"

Huo Shan spread his hands, looking indifferent:

"What else can we do? Let's repair it. The Shaofu has some money, the Dasinong has food, and there is a lot of money. There is also a water balance. A capital city can still be repaired."

Sang Hongyang rolled his eyes:

"It's easy to build a capital city. You don't care about things. Of course you are easy. You are as pitiful as me..."

If the capital city really needs to be repaired, Huo Shan ran away just because he was training soldiers, wouldn't it be the fault of Sang Hongyang, Wang Wenshu and others!
Sang Hongyang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked:
"How much money does Shaofu have now?"

Huo Shan made a calculation in his heart, and then said:
"When the caravan comes back, it's about 550 million gold."

Sang Hongyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said:
"Enough is enough!"

Huo Tan looked at Sang Hongyang, and suddenly asked:

"You won't let the Shaofu go out, will you? A capital city has Miyagi, and naturally there are outer cities. The Shaofu is only in charge of the Miyagi."

Sang Hongyang frowned:

"Then what about the rest of the outer cities?"

Huo Shan glanced at Sang Hongyang in surprise, and then said:
"Of course it's your Da Si Nong and Shui Heng!

You don't want His Majesty's young mansion to pay this money, do you? "

When the two talked about this topic, they even changed their names.

Sang Hongyang frowned, then said bitterly:
"Da Sinong has no money!"

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows:
'Da Sinong has no money?I believe you ghost! '

If he said he had no money before, Huo Shan would have believed it, but now he said he had no money, Huo Shan would not believe a single word.

The Shaofu has 550 million gold. Although Huo Shan, the chief minister, has not paid attention to it, he still has 400 million gold.

Just relying on the refined salt produced by a single salt-making method, how much money Da Si Nong has obtained from wealthy and powerful families!

Huo Shan didn't speak, just watched his performance quietly.

"It's just a palace city, with one million gold, it's enough to reach the sky. What is the Shaofu planning to do with the rest of the money?

Da Si Nong really has no money, and the annual taxes have to be sent to various places to distribute salaries, so there is not much to save.

In the past few years, he has made a little money, but both the East and the South need money, and Da Sinong has not saved much at all.

It is necessary to save some money to deal with the subsequent war, and this money cannot be moved at all.

And if you do the math, the construction of the capital city requires enough compensation for the people for the farmland, and the farmers need to be relocated, the foundations behind, the city walls, the squares and cities in the city..."

Sang Hongyang was interrupted by Huo Shan before he finished speaking:

"It's within the area of ​​Shanglin Garden. There are not many people. The land belongs to His Majesty. The money has already been spent. Moreover, there is no 300 million gold in Miyagi that cannot be brought down."

Of course Huo Shan was talking nonsense, he was asking prices all over the place, and paying back the money on the ground, you see, Sang Hongyang started to refute.

"impossible."

Sang Hongyang said firmly:

"It is impossible to spend 300 million gold."

Huo Shan laughed aloud, changed his posture, stretched out his hands and gestured while speaking:
"Don't think it's impossible. Of course, the imperial city where His Majesty lives alone can't spend 300 million gold, but I'm talking about Miyagi."

Sang Hongyang raised his hand to signal Huo Shan to continue.

"The imperial city is located in the northernmost part and consists of three parts. In the middle is the residence of His Majesty and the Empress. To the east is the prince's bedroom, and to the west is the Shaofu..."

Sang Hongyang quickly raised his hand to interrupt:
"Wait, does your Shaofu occupy so much space?"

Huo Shan spread out his hands, with a strange expression on his face:
"Why can't it be occupied? All the eunuchs, waiters, and maids in the palace will live here, and the Shaofu and Lantai will also work here. The imperial city is not too much to spend 150 million?"

Sang Hongyang frowned and thought for a while:
'Your family's palace needs 150 million gold?What a luxury. '

But he still nodded afterward, signaling Huo Shan to continue.

"To the south of the imperial city is the palace city. All the major government offices in Chang'an are located in it. The Northern and Southern armies will also be here. There are also Weiyang Stables, Shiqu Pavilion, etc. Adding 150 million is not too much, right?"

Sang Hongyang didn't worry about money, but asked instead:
"Are you going to put the army in Miyagi?"

Huo Shan nodded.

"An army of only tens of thousands can't spend so much money, right?"

Huo Shan straightened up and smiled faintly:
"It's only a few tens of thousands now, and it might be in the future. It might be 20, or it might be [-]. Don't you have to prepare first?"

Sang Hongyang just asked curiously, he didn't care about military matters, and he wouldn't take too much care of them.

He closed his eyes and counted in his heart. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Huo Shan with a half-smile and said:
"The materials in your young mansion are expensive. If you give the money to me, Da Siong, I can do it with a maximum of 150 million gold."

It has to be said that Sang Hongyang is very keen in this aspect, and if Huo Shan really used money to repair it, it would probably be such a figure.

The main reason is that the palace costs a lot of money, so it needs to be repaired in a grand and luxurious way, and the rest will not cost much!
Huo Shan curled his lips and said:
"It's His Majesty's money, not mine. You can go to His Majesty."

Then Huo Shan rolled his eyes and said:

"Why don't you give me 150 million gold, and you don't need to spend the rest of the money, but only the food, grass and manpower needed, and the rest of the money in the entire new capital city, how about giving it to our young mansion?"

Miyagi must be repaired with money, and it is not safe to live without spending money.

But the outer city is not necessarily the case. Huo Shanneng only spent 150 million gold to build this new Chang'an city.

Sang Hongyang looked at Huo Shan suspiciously, and thought carefully in his heart. After thinking for a long time, Sang Hongyang finally nodded:
"can."

In Sang Hongyang's view, there is nothing to lose, but a lot of benefits.

Since Qian Shaofu didn't want to make a big deal, it must be that Da Si Nong is going to make a big deal, so it's better to make a decision directly.

Pay 150 million gold, and not much for the rest. Don't come to Dasinong when you are short of money in the future, and find a way for yourself.

But Huo Shan was clear about Liu Che's plan, Liu Che had originally planned to let the Shaofu pay all the money, after all the Shaofu had a huge windfall.

Liu Che didn't even think about asking Da Sinong to pay too much. Da Sinong's money was reserved for the war.

But for Huo Shan, it is very good to have such a sum of money.

From Huo Shan's point of view, apart from Miyagi, everything else in Chang'an City does not cost money, and there might be some money to be made.

As mentioned earlier, selling the mansion is a way to make money.

There is also land in Dongxi City, which is also a way to make money.

Sang Hongyang's idea is to repair it by themselves. After all, the imperial court has been repairing this kind of big project by itself since ancient times.

The craftsmen have their own, the workers use servitude, and if there is not enough, they are recruited.

All the materials have to be spent on their own, and they have to be transported in a waste of energy. The money has been earned by those rich and powerful families and merchants.

But in Huo Shan's view, the palace city can be repaired by itself, why should the outer city be repaired by itself?
It’s not enough to just spend money to subcontract out, and use whoever has the lowest price, and you have to guarantee the quality and quantity for me.

If there is a problem with the quality, it is not a matter of not giving money, and the head has to be moved.

And for these large merchants who take over the project, money will definitely be given, but Huo Shan will earn back this money from them.

That is to say, let them make a profit. If they don't make a profit, who is willing to do it for nothing, even the court.

But you can sell the national debt, and you can also sell the logistics quota!

So this is the process:

Divide first, divide the entire Chang'an City into many small projects, and then auction it, whoever has the lowest price will use it.

There has to be some tricks inside, otherwise what if they unite together and don't call for a low price?
Then divide the project into several phases, and pay for each phase.

When the first phase is about to be completed and the payment is due, call them together and make a sale, asking them to use the project funds to buy national bonds.

You put all your money at home to eat ashes, so you might as well take it out to earn some interest.

With my champion here, are you still afraid of losing money?
Of course, you can't make a lot of money with national debt.

Do you think it’s over if you don’t pay for the project and let you buy treasury bonds?

Of course not, you have to take out all the money buried at home.

You can sell them logistics quotas, the money is for nothing.

Note that what is sold is only the number of places, and the person who sells can only be selected among those who have accepted the project.

And what is the use of this quota?

Like this battle of the Huns, there are so many cattle and sheep. With this quota, you can buy these cattle and sheep at a low price.

These cattle and sheep of the imperial court can be handed over to you to deal with.

What do you use to buy it?Well, project money.

This city must be built in vain, and the national debt is for them to make a little money.

And these looted supplies are what made them a lot of money.

And the imperial court built a city for nothing, and made some money, and asked them to take out the money buried in the ground.

The money used was naturally produced by the water balance, and five baht coins were also promoted.

Those cattle and sheep that eat a lot every day and are very troublesome for the country to digest can still be spread to the whole man with their hands.

They can use these things to make a lot of money.

And this matter is a win-win situation, a win-win situation for the imperial court and the big households.

But if there is a win, there is a loss, and if there is a gain, there is a loss. Both the court and the big family win, so who is the loser?

The ones who suffer are of course those who were robbed!
And this kind of operation method can be used not only in repairing the city, but also in any place.

Will those big households stop after they have tasted the sweetness?

of course not.

Then the country can build roads, strengthen rivers, mine minerals, train elite soldiers, engage in commerce, and spread culture and education.

Then go on like this again and again, until all the alien races around the big man are robbed and eaten dry.

This is called transferring internal contradictions to the outside.

And when all the surrounding areas are wiped out, the big households are still not satisfied, what should they do if they show their fangs of capital?
Then we have to see whether the fangs of the big households are hard, or the iron horses of the big men are hard.

But of course Huo Shan didn't want this kind of thing to happen, so he had to restrain them on the way.

For example, pull a batch and fight a batch, keep the obedient ones, and eliminate the disobedient ones.

And why should they obey?Because of interests.

It is also possible to propose business laws and impose restrictions on them one after another.

Establish Taixue, recruit students widely, and replace their local control.

And without their local control, they are no longer rich and powerful, but ordinary merchants.

And in this land, merchants will never be able to gain momentum.

So, not all big players are bad.

Although for this empire, they are just moths lying on the trunk.

When one day, the trunk is hollowed out, it is time for them to change their dynasty, erect a big tree again, and continue to eat.

But they are not all bad, they are a very powerful force.

If they can perfectly control this power, they can also make the big tree grow stronger and taller.

And all this is not so easy, the process along the way must be very difficult.

But the harder it is, the more fulfilling it will be when things are done?
