Monument Yangmen

Chapter 788 Why is Da Song so poor?

The rush to sell land in Yanjing City lasted until late at night, and there were still many merchants who took money, but did not rush to sell the land.

Kou Zhun seemed to have plans to use the land of nearly a thousand acres as the finale, so he only let the wind go, but he didn't sell it.

After all, Yang Qi still didn't wait for King Biao and passed out drunk.

To the delight of Peng Pai and Zamahe Aoki, Yang Qi didn't go crazy after being drunk this time.

After he got drunk, he and Zhang Yong fell asleep on the table.

Peng Pai, Zama and Aoki together carried Yang Qi to his bedroom, and after handing it over to Cao Lin, they went back to accommodate Zhang Yong.

The next day.

The Pumai Conference continues.

Still in full swing.

Yang Qi, who had just woken up from a hangover, rubbed his head. After being served by Cao Lin, he washed up and went to the study.

Zhang Yong had long changed into an official uniform that represented the officials of Yan State, and waited in the study.

"Your Majesty is also requested to give the minister a seal certificate."

Zhang Yong was not ambiguous at all.

After seeing Yang Qi, he mentioned the business right away.

The official seals and official quotations of the chief officials of the various ministries have been prepared long ago, packed in brocade boxes, and placed on the shelves in Yang Qi's study.

Yang Qi found the official seal representing the head of the Ministry of Punishment from the shelf, and handed it to Zhang Yong.

"When you first arrived in Yanjing, in order to avoid troubles for you when you were in power, I asked Zamahe Aoki to follow you first. I will transfer him back after you set up the frame of the Criminal Department."

For this matter, Zhang Yong did not refuse.

He has just arrived, he has no familiar people under his command, and he is the chief officer of the Criminal Department. He is easily dealt with by arrogant soldiers or some black-hearted villains. Someone will follow him, not only to protect him, but also to help him establish as soon as possible. Ministry of punishment.

After getting the official seal.

Zhang Yong bid farewell to Yang Qi, led Zama and Qingmu to a place not far from Yang Qi's camp, built a tent, and hung up the sign of the Ministry of Punishment.

The temporary yamen of the Ministry of Punishment was built in this way.

At the same time, under Yang Qi's deliberate dissemination, the news of the establishment of the Ministry of Criminal Justice also reached the ears of everyone in Yanjing City.

Those officials who were officials in Yanjing City, especially Yanjing Yin Lu Mengzheng, almost cried out of excitement.

Then, one by one, the petty officials carried, carried, or carried official documents related to criminal cases, and stuffed them into the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

The tent of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment that Zhang Yonggang built was filled up in an instant.

Zhang Yong couldn't laugh or cry at this.

However, he was not in a hurry to deal with official duties first, but let Zamahe Aoki take him to the army, selected a hundred good men, and served as the clerks and yamen servants of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Naturally, Zhang Yong would not delay the official documents of the Ministry of Punishment.

But he couldn't do all the errands by himself.

Then he estimated that he would be exhausted on the first day of taking office.

Yang Qi was playing with the children in the camp when he learned that Zhang Yong had gone to the army to select a hundred masters.

The hostesses of the Yang Mansion in Datong Mansion all moved to Yanjing City.

The servants in Datong Mansion naturally don't need to stay any longer.

As soon as Cao Lin went down with the paperwork, someone sent them safely to Yanjing City.

This includes Di Qing, the only student under Yang Qi's knees.

The two-year-old Xiao Di Qing was able to stand up tremblingly.

He can still stutter and address Yang Qiyi as his mentor.

Yang Qi was overjoyed and gave the little guy a thousand-character prose without hesitation.

At this moment, Xiao Diqing and Xiao Zongwei were sitting in front of Cao Lin, listening to Cao Lin tell them the Thousand Character Classic.

Although the two little guys may not be able to understand it, but if they listen to it a lot, it will naturally be imprinted in their minds.

Cao Lin is very enthusiastic about educating the younger generation.

In addition to these two little guys, there is also Yang Qi's daughter and Xiao Guiying.

Xiao Guiying was sent by Mu Yu.

At the same time that Datong Academy was split, Fuxing Wuyuan was also split.

Yang Qi divided a large area in Yanjing City for the Martial Academy.

Mu Yu was sent by Lao Yang to fight in the front line and supervise the establishment of Yanjing Wuyuan.

Yang Qi was lying on the soft couch without any image, and his daughter was lying on his belly, rolling up and down.

Sitting next to Yang Qi, Xiao Guiying was suing Yang Qi at Balabala's.

Counting Mu Yu's tragic experience of forcing her to learn etiquette and female training.

Mu Yu wanted to educate Xiao Guiying to be a lady of the family.

But he was scolded by Yang Qi.

That bastard Mu Yu almost ruined me as a woman.

"Mu Yu should fight!"

"Yeah! Dad should hit me!"

"..."

Yang Qi accompanied Xiao Guiying to scold Mu Yu.

Obviously, Xiao Guiying and Yang Qi hit it off even more.

Chu Xing stayed by the side of the soft couch, watching Yang Qi play with the two maids, smiling sweetly, occasionally guarding against the two maids falling off the soft couch.

While playing around, Yang Qi turned his head and asked Cao Lin, "Is Zhang Yong's job going well?"

Cao Lin was teaching the children how to read when she was suddenly interrupted by Yang Qi, who gave Yang Qi a resentful look.

"You don't know how to ask yourself? Why do you ask about my concubine?"

After saying this, Cao Lin told the maid who was waiting beside her, "Go out and ask."

"The servant knows..."

Not long after the maid went out, she returned to the room.

"Returning to the master, Zhang Yong, Mr. Zhang, went to the barracks, selected more than 100 fierce soldiers, and recruited them as yamen servants. They are helping him with his errands."

Yang Qi nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "There are no worthy men under a great reputation, Zhang Yong is worthy of being Zhang Yong. I thought he would publish a list to recruit yamen servants, but I didn't expect to be dispatched in the army.

The man in the army is innocent and has been fighting for many years, so his martial arts are naturally not weak.

With their help, Zhang Yong should be able to support the Punishment Department's airs very quickly, and I can let go of another worry. "

Cao Lin saw that the two little guys couldn't listen to her talking about the thousand-character essay, so she slapped each of them and asked them to play.

Then he turned around and said to Yang Qi in a mocking way: "Mr. Lang has a lot on his mind. There are two things on his mind, and he is coming from the north and the south. I'm afraid he has entered the territory of Yan Kingdom now? I guess he will arrive in a few days."

Hearing this, Chu Xing subconsciously stared at Yang Qi.

Yang Qi glanced at the two daughters helplessly, and said with emotion: "It's a misfortune, not a blessing. Princess Qingyu came here to avenge her father's death. Then you have to be careful, don't be implicated, and don't let the child be hurt.

As for that girl Hai Jing, she is still a child.

It is pitiful to be thrown at us as a bargaining chip now.It's inconvenient for me to see her, so please remember to be nice to her. "

When the child's safety was mentioned, she narrowed her eyes subconsciously when she first woke up, and she rarely expressed her opinion: "Since Qingyu is plotting something wrong, why don't you kill her to prevent future troubles?"

Yang Qi and Cao Lin were both taken aback when they heard the words.

The two of them and Princess Qingyu can be regarded as playmates since they were young, and they grew up together.

Somewhat affectionate, so I have never had a murderous intention.

Chuxing is different, she is not familiar with Qingyu.

If someone threatens her child, she doesn't mind being the first to strike.

Yang Qi coughed dryly, not knowing how to answer Chu Xing.

Cao Lin sighed and said: "After all, it is an old friend. I really can't bear to kill her. If she is sensible and restrained, let her life be spared. But if she really insists on her own way, then I will personally send her on the road. As for Hai Princess Jing..."

Cao Lin looked at Yang Qi and said, "Mr. Lang intends to avoid her all the time? If she arrives in Yanjing City, no matter how much you avoid her, you will run into her. So avoiding her is not a good idea."

Yang Qi rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a headache: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Cao Lin murmured, "Why don't we wait for her to arrive, meet her, and then discuss it openly and honestly?"

Yang Qi couldn't bear to hurt a little girl.

But he also understands the truth that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Instead of letting the little girl suffer forever, it's better to treat her in complete pain and forget about him.

Then prepare a good marriage and dowry for her.

"Then wait for her to arrive and talk to her."

Peach Blossom Debt is the most frustrating.

But this helplessness did not last long, and a piece of good news came.

Peng Pai rushed to the door from the outside in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, King Biao has come out."

"Come in and talk."

Because there are female relatives, it is inconvenient for Peng Pai to enter the door, after getting Yang Qi's permission.

Only after Peng Pai entered the door, he said with a beaming face: "Your Majesty, the nearly [-]-mu land next to Changle Square has saved [-] million pieces."

"One million and eighty thousand?"

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard the words.

Although Yang Qi has seen a lot of money, he has seen countless money larger than this number.

But Yanjing City is still in the stage of flat land, and someone is willing to pay more than 100 million guan to win a large area of ​​Yanjing City.

This surprised Yang Qi.

"who is it?"

Yang Qi asked subconsciously.

Peng Pai bowed and said, "It's a cloth merchant in Suzhou during the Song Dynasty."

Suzhou Luojin is the best in the world.

Suzhou merchants are rich, Yang Qi is not surprised.

It's just that this person has a unique vision and invested in Yanjing City in advance, which is enough to show that this person is a good businessman.

For this kind of big businessman, who took root in Yanjing City, Yang Qi raised his hands to welcome him.

"Go and tell Kou Zhun to allow that Suzhou cloth merchant to be the first to enter Yanjing City and start construction."

"promise!"

After reporting to the bid king, Peng Pai did not leave in a hurry.

He continued: "This time, Yanjing City has been sold and sold, and the proceeds have been summarized."

"So fast?"

Yang Qi was a little surprised.

Peng Pai said with a smile: "Master Kou hired more than 100 accountants. Every time a sale is made, he will send someone to quickly put it into the account, so it is very fast."

"How many?"

"Suck~"

Peng Pai took a deep breath and said solemnly, "A total of 3508 million taels..."

"Wow~"

Chu Xing and Cao Lin were dumbfounded, with astonishment on their faces.

Four thousand three hundred and eighty-eight million taels, how many there are, the two women who have experienced big scenes in the experience know very well.

It is precisely because of the clarity that I feel astonished.

This much money is enough for Yang Qi to tear down and rebuild Yanjing City twice.

So much money was sold just by selling the land.

Are these businessmen crazy?
Among the people in the room, except for Yang Qi and a few ignorant children, everyone is probably thinking this way.

Yang Qi felt that this was normal, and even felt that he had sold a little at a loss.

You must know that with the current business model, selling land is a permanent property right.

Those with 70-year property rights and 40-year property rights in later generations are all sold like crazy. If it is a permanent property right, it is estimated that the sales will be even crazier.

If Yang Qi had been a little more insane, he could do this.

So Yang Qi was not surprised that it could be sold at this price.

First of all, Yanjing City, as the capital of Yan State, was destined to become a prosperous city before it was built.

Secondly, the people who will live in Yanjing City in the future will all be either rich or expensive, and it is inevitable that land prices will soar.

The most important thing is that Yang Qi owns two countries, Yan Kingdom and Nan Kingdom, and also defeated Liao Kingdom, which is considered the strongest in the world.

This shows that the Yan State under Yang Qi's rule has enough strength to protect the people from the suffering of war.

Moreover, under the provisions of the Commercial Law formulated by Yang Qi, merchants are not discriminated against in Yan State, and they will receive due protection.

Therefore, many businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to buy properties in Yan Country.

This is not only a business investment, but also a security investment.

In the Song Dynasty, if merchants wanted to do something with a larger transaction volume, they had to hide it, and they had to bury it deep when they had money.

I am afraid that I will be beaten by the court.

In Yan Country, there is no such worry.

As long as they pay taxes according to the law, they don't have to worry about any trouble at all.

Even the imperial court's disaster relief will not ask them to fight the autumn wind.

This is also the reason why the price of Yanjing City is high, but merchants are still willing to spend money to buy it.

Looking at the astonished faces of Cao Lin and Chu Xing, Yang Qi said with a faint smile, "It's nothing. Do you know that the current land price of Yanjing City is only half of that of Bianjing City."

No one has ever sold a capital like Yang Qi, so no one has ever considered how much a capital is worth.

After being reminded by Yang Qi, Cao Lin and Chu Xing finally remembered the land price in Bianjing.

They all grew up in Bianjing City and have done business in Bianjing City, so they naturally know how high the land price in Bianjing City is.

At the beginning, the Yang family entered Bianjing City.

In Bianjing City, apart from the Tianbo Yang Mansion bestowed by Zhao Guangyi, he also bought two houses.

At that time, the starting prices were [-] guan and [-] guan respectively.

When the members of the Yang family left, the two houses were sold for [-] yuan.

It can be seen that the land price in Bianjing has soared.

After such an accounting, Cao Lin and Chu Xing also came to their senses.

Cao Lin pondered for a long time, and asked the doubts in her heart, "The land price in Bianjing has been soaring year after year, why is the imperial court still so poor?"

Yang Qi pursed his lips, planning to explain the economic issues to Cao Lin.

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

When he talked about economic issues, Cao Lin might not understand him.

After thinking for a long time, he said quietly: "Probably because of the so-called not competing with the people for profit..."

Do not compete with the people for profit!
This is a policy that benefits the people.

It's just that any policy that is transferred from the hands of civil servants is prone to problems.

Under the persuasion of the civil officials, the emperor did not compete with the people for profit.

When the government decree came out of the court, it became not to compete with scholars, peasants and workers for profit.

More or more.

The taxi ranks first.

And they are precisely the richest group of people in Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is strange that the Song Dynasty is not poor.

Yang Qi did not discuss this issue with Cao Lin and Chu Xing.

With so much money, Yang Qi's back became tough, and he dared to do what he didn't dare to do before.

He got up slowly and said: "The order will go on, all the people who are not in farming can enter Yanjing City and work to earn rewards. Every day, the income of each person should not be less than ten copper coins."

Yang Qi raised the labor cost by four times in one breath.
