God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 274
On the same day, Yu Shi Ma Zhou formed a team to enter the Guozijian Reconstruction Project Department, and began to exercise supervisory powers like a mad dog. He wanted to use this method to catch Du He's handle, and then went to Li Er to participate in the investigation. Book.

Lu Yuan told Du He about the matter, but Du He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let him go, let's understand that people don't do secret things, don't embezzle, don't pervert the law, why should you be afraid of Ma Zhou and others, just do what you want Do, as long as he doesn't make trouble, he can do whatever he likes."

"Okay, the young master is still smart." Lu Yuan said flatteringly.

After the Guozijian reconstruction project started, Du He was not idle.

Because until now, there are still more than 1 disaster victims with nothing to do.

To solve the employment problem of the more than 1 disaster victims, we still need to work hard.

Fortunately, in this era, all the work is done by manpower, basically no machinery is used, so it is only a Guozijian project, and the number of workers required is astonishing.If excavators and forklifts are used on a large scale like in later generations, then Duhe has no choice.

Du He locked himself in the room, and after a few days, he came up with two project design proposals, and went to the palace to hand over to Li Er early the next morning.

In the Imperial Study Room of Tai Chi Palace, after reading the two project design plans, Li Er said with a confused expression, "You actually want to build houses for the disaster victims?"

Du He nodded: "Your Majesty, according to the preliminary investigation, some of these victims came to Chang'an this time because they moved with their families. They are not empty-handed. These people have money to spare. , so many people, when the work-for-relief is over, some of them will definitely not leave. At that time, will they let everyone live on the streets again? Therefore, I ask His Majesty to allocate money to start the construction project of resettlement houses for the victims. Resettlement housing has several advantages. First, the structure is not complicated and the construction cost is minimal. Second, the site is selected outside the city to reduce the cost of land as much as possible. Third, it can stabilize the hearts of the people and let the people of the world see that His Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. , with the world in mind, not only let the victims eat, but also provide shelter for everyone, and fourth, it can generate income, which can be generated through sales and leases. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After hearing this, Li Er couldn't help nodding his head: "In that case, it's a good thing, but how much does it cost to build this resettlement house?"

Du He stretched out his right hand and spread five fingers: "At least 50 guan!"

hiss!
Even the majestic emperor Li Er also took a deep breath.

The cost of rebuilding the Guozijian cost 70 guan, which already cost him a piece of meat, and this resettlement house cost 50 guan. Li Er's first reaction in his heart was that I refused.

Li Er picked up another project design plan and said: "The People's Avenue will cost 30 guan, and the resettlement housing will cost at least 80 guan. Du He, Du He, you really think my money is blown by the wind." Is it? It’s the taxes of the common people, the hard-earned money of the common people. A few days ago, Lu Guogong escorted 30 guan worth of grain and grass to the west. Going out, if all the money is used for labor relief, so what if there is an emergency at the border?"

Li Er rubbed his temples helplessly.

It is said that Du He is a good player in making money, and Du He is also a good player in spending money. Datang has been established for so many years, if it is spent like this, I am afraid it will be dragged down long ago.

Seeing Li Er's performance, Du He was not discouraged. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. It can save you money and build a resettlement house."

When Li Er heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he said with great interest, "Quickly tell me, what can we do?"

Du He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will pay for this money for you, how about it?"

Li Er was overjoyed at first, and then looked at Du He suspiciously: "Are you paying for me? Are you so kind? Let alone you, Du He, even if the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs said that he would pay the money, I would definitely not believe it. But 80 yuan is not a few hundred or a few thousand, and everyone says that you, Du He, have eyes for money, so could it be that the rumors are false?"

Du He sat opposite Li Er, raised his legs, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you can be learned from the sun and the moon, and the sky and the earth can show it. Let alone money, it is my life. If you need it, I can contribute at any time."

Li Er: "..."

He had heard too many similar words from Du He, and now he didn't really believe them.

However, after a while, Li Er couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the Duhe gourd, so he could only open his mouth and say, "Okay, okay, what are you trying to sell, tell me quickly, if you can really do this for me, I can make you a first-class duke, how about that?"

Du He stood up, took out a map of Chang'an City from his sleeve, placed it on the table in front of Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I want to share your worries, but I don't have so much money, so , this matter can only be figured out slowly, I have a bold idea, that is, your Majesty, you pay for the land, and I pay for it."

As he spoke, Du He picked up the brush and drew a circle in the southwest corner of Chang'an City.

Li Er took a closer look, and saw that the six squares of Yonghe, Chang'an, Heping, Yongyang, Zhaoxing, and Guiyi in the southwest corner of Chang'an City had been included.

This area is a well-known slum in Chang'an City, where the population is sparsely populated and the environment is very harsh. It is also the most notorious place in Chang'an City.

After the drought this time, a large number of victims gathered here, among which the victims of Yonghefang gathered the most.

Li Er couldn't help asking: "What does this mean?"

Du He said: "Your Majesty, I have been paying attention to this place for a long time. Our Chang'an City is now an international metropolis, but there is such a dirty and messy place that seriously affects the image of Chang'an City. Give me this land, and I will renovate it. In the near future, there will be many high-rise buildings rising from the ground. I want to make this place the most prosperous area in Chang'an City. Of course, in exchange, I will pay How about contributing people and efforts to build a resettlement house for His Majesty, and transform the road from Suzaku Gate to Mingde Gate into People's Avenue?"

This kind of land enclosure movement, which is famous in later generations, is a new thing in this era. Li Er was at a loss when he heard it.

After a long time, Li Ercai said leisurely: "That is to say, if I give you the land of Liufang, you will build resettlement houses for the victims and the People's Avenue for me?"

"That's right! Your Majesty, of course, if His Majesty is unwilling, then forget it. The big deal is that this resettlement house and People's Avenue will not be repaired." Du He said indifferently, he could get up and leave at any time.

Li Er thought for a while, then slapped the table: "Okay, I will promise you that Yonghe, Chang'an, Heping, Yongyang, Zhaoxing, Guiyi, and the land of Liufang will belong to you. It should be for you to open a mansion and build teeth, but Keming has been refusing to put this matter on hold, and now, since you need this land, I will give it to you."
