Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1264 I want to abolish the prince

Designate a large area next to the palace to build a villa area. After the villa is repaired, part of it will be given to the meritorious ministers of the clan, and the rest will be sold, and the highest price will get it.

The resort is a rental fee.

As for the academies, they are also supporting facilities. Those who have bought palace villas, palace sponsors, raw material suppliers, and the children of officials and powerful landlords in Yanzhou, Shandong, can come to study if they reach a certain level.

The academy was even attached to the Luoyang Guozijian, and at least it could be qualified as an official after completing its studies.

These are all attractive places. After recruiting a large number of children of officials, gentry, and landlords, they will be charged for studying. Moreover, if thousands of students are recruited, the consumption level of these people will not be low, which can drive the market built here.

The street market built by the emperor can sell rented shops again.

In short, after such a set of operations, on the surface, the palace cost several million pennies, but in fact Li Shimin not only didn't spend the money, but made money.

Even because all the construction projects of the entire palace were paid for and hired, and even the emperor required a minimum wage standard, so that during the three years since the construction of the palace, people from prefectures and counties near Mount Tai came to work and earn money during their slack.

With the emperor's request, the wages are not low, and basically no one dares to default.

One more thing, such a big project has been worked on for three years. Countless people work and live here, eat, drink and scatter, which also drives local consumption. The pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by the nearby people can be sold for more money, but they are grown vegetables. Fish earn much more than in the past.

So in the past three years, almost every family in the neighborhood has increased their income a lot, and one year is the past few years.

In this case, which people would object?
In the past, when Yang Guang went to the palace to dig canals, everyone ran away or even chopped off their hands and feet to escape. It was because Yang Guang was a free labor labor at that time, and everyone had to bring their own dry food.However, under the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty, the money has long been discounted and distributed to the fields.

People no longer have the obligation to serve for free, because they have paid for it.

Li Shiminxiu's palace is not a court project in essence, but a royal project, so he pays for it out of his own pocket and draws money from internal funds.

It’s just that when I practiced the palace, I developed a few more real estate projects by the way, such as villa area, resort area, academy area, street area, etc., and the cost of enclosing the land was almost free, and there was no compensation for demolition and requisition. After all, it was originally encircled in the mountains. land, and there is no need to give local money.

Another one of Li Shimin's projects, through investment bidding, merchants come to do it, and they have to advance funds. Li Shimin sent a supervision team. The wages of craftsmen and peasants are paid by merchants, not Li Shimin. The food is ready for everyone, the house is good, and the wages are in place in time. Anyway, of course others pay for it with high standards and strict standards.

This set was originally developed by Qin Lang when he was building the Daming Palace many years ago, and it has been matured and perfected for a long time, so Li Shimin's supervision team is also quite skilled.

The villas and shops are still under construction over there, and they have already started selling with renderings here.

Nobody bought it?Don't worry at all.

Such a large palace is placed here, and the scenery of Mount Tai is good. If you have the opportunity to buy it, you will certainly not miss it. After all, this is an opportunity to be a neighbor with the emperor.

Relatives with high status are not short of money, and merchants with low status are not short of money, and they don't want to miss this opportunity.

So Li Shimin was playing the empty-glove white wolf game. Over there, the developer advanced money to help him build it. Here he directly took the blueprints, pointed at the vacant land, and started selling money. As soon as the project started, Li Shimin was already earning a lot of money. The bowl is full.

Over the past three years, installment payments have been regularly checked and accepted.

At the end of the project, Li Shimin was very satisfied, as were the contractors, the raw material suppliers, and even the craftsmen and migrant workers who did the work, as well as the people around here. Everyone made a lot of money. .

There is no such thing as forced conscription of civilians, harassment of nearby villagers, oppression of merchants, etc.

So this multi-million-dollar project has been in place for three years, and it has become a well-known good governance, which not only stimulates domestic demand, but also promotes consumption and increases the income of the people.

Xinggong is still Xinggong, the way of repairing is different, and the effect is completely different. Yang Guang has built dozens of Xinggong, and the result is outrageous, which has been criticized to this day. As a result, not only did no one spray it, but it even won the approval of everyone.

In the final analysis, the model is still different. It does not tire the people and harm the people, but benefits the people and businesses.

In recent years, among other things, there are dozens of academies in various palaces under the name of Guozijian. Except for the children of noble officials, Li Shimin has relaxed the enrollment ratio, and those with money in the local area can enter.

The tuition fees are high, but those who are willing to come in to study are still squeezed out. After all, these palace academies are called Xinggong Guozijian, and they are good opportunities for those petty gentry and local powerful merchants who are not eligible to enter the two capitals.

After all, compared with prefectural and county schools, the supporting facilities of these Xinggong academies are not bad, especially given some preferential treatment in policy, such as the qualification to be an official after graduation, and even excellent ones can be sent to the two capitals of the Imperial Academy. Even directly appoint officials and so on.

Over the years, Li Shimin has gained a lot of success in doing this, so he has to enclose land for development in the practice palaces, near famous mountains, great rivers and good mountains and rivers.

Earn a lot of money.

Lao Li can be called the strongest real estate developer in this era, with unique advantages, he has managed the Royal Palace very well, and the brand effect is very good.

Lao Li can earn millions of dollars every year just from real estate development. In addition, the royal family has also started to get involved in some architectural design, construction and even raw material supply in recent years, so Lao Li is very active in this now.

Qin Lang is well aware of this set, after all, he is the instigator, Men Qing.

I don't have any objections to this, but I think this kind of thing is really better. Anyway, not all the money was used to build the palace, and the academies and commercial streets are also good for the local government and the court.

The imperial government’s fiscal revenue is so high, but the imperial court also understands that the money cannot be rotted in the treasury, so when the imperial court makes a budget every year, it will think about how to spend the money, take it from the people, and use it for the people. Only money is in the society. Circulation is healthy.

Otherwise, various problems will arise, but how to spend these financial revenues is also a test of the level. After all, the money is too much, and if it is used in the wrong direction, there will be big problems.

And the royal family also has a lot of internal money, so the emperor's money can't just lie around and get moldy, right?You can't just buy luxury goods like the Construction Bank Palace, otherwise luxury goods will only become more and more expensive, so engaging in real estate development not only satisfies the emperor's desire to build new houses everywhere, but also drives local The economy, promote domestic consumption, increase people's income, etc., so that it can be circulated benignly.

Over the years, the imperial court has spent a lot of money to control many basic livelihood items, such as grain and cloth, and the protective price of grain has been raised year by year, just to avoid hurting farmers due to cheap grain.

In essence, if the prices of the most basic and bulk commodities such as food and cloth are too low, it will affect the economic development of the entire society. How to maintain it in line with the overall situation of the society is a test of the level of managers.

Therefore, in recent years, the imperial court has increased the purchase price of grain year by year through the transshipment department and Changping warehouse, and the red line has been continuously raised.

It is precisely because of the control panel of the transshipment company that the prices of these basic commodities such as grain, cloth and salt have been stabilized, so that the overall price of the entire society is relatively stable.

But in today's mercantile policy, the price of agricultural products is always relatively low, which leads to the fact that the income of farmers is actually inferior to that of other businessmen and craftsmen.

Especially under the stimulation of the prosperous maritime trade and the huge domestic consumer market, even if they work in factories or set up stalls in cities, their income is far higher than the output of the field.

Although the prices of food, cloth, etc. are stable, they have not fluctuated much. Ten renminbi per bucket of rice can earn at most two or three hundred renminbi per mu of land. , Even with a little bit of skill, or hard work, etc., you can earn hundreds of dollars a day.

In this comparison, farmers are actually being cut leeks under this business-oriented policy.

Therefore, in recent years, the imperial court has also encouraged the common people to do some side jobs, go to the city to work during the slack season, or have their young children become industrial workers, etc., in order to increase the income of farmers, and also encourage the common people to develop family farming.

Otherwise, relying on farming alone, the income cannot keep up with the overall development.

Not to mention that those merchants can earn more profits through selling.

Now the imperial government’s policy has begun to change from the past mainly relying on farmers to collect taxes from the land to obtain finances, and gradually changing how to protect and increase farmers’ income, because farmers are the basic market and the foundation of national stability.

When business and industry become rich, they must also ensure that farmers can keep up.

"Do you think Cheng Qian will be a good emperor?"

the emperor asked suddenly.

Qin Lang looked left and right, and found that at some point, only the monarch, minister and father were left on the small island in the lake, and the other servants and courtiers had all withdrawn to the boat in the lake, far away from each other.

"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lofty aspirations and great ambitions. Over the years, under His Majesty's care, he has supervised the country's regent and handled state affairs very well. In the future, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty will surely be able to inherit the prosperity of Zhenguan."

Li Shimin just shook his head.

"You know, I've been thinking about one thing these days. I want to abolish the Chengqian position and establish a new crown prince."

Qin Lang was shocked.

Since Li Shimin said that he was going to die, why did he want to abolish Prince Yi Chu before he died? Is this stupid and crazy?
"Does the sage think that the fourth prince is more suitable to be the crown prince?"

But Li Shimin shook his head, "If I abolish Chengqian as the reserve, I won't establish Li Tai."

Now Qin Lang was even more confused.

"I have thought about Li Zhi, the ninth son of the emperor."

"Why?"

Qin Lang really couldn't figure it out. At this time, you said you want to change reserves?A few years ago, Chengqian was indeed rebellious. At that time, you gritted your teeth and stomped your feet, and changed as soon as you changed.But now that you want to change reserves at this time, aren't you afraid of a Xuanwumen change?

After all, Li Shimin personally cut off all the court ministers who opposed him as the prince for Li Chengqian these years, killing and demoting them, and now the court is full of Chengqian people.

Not to mention Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Gao Jifu, Zhang Xingcheng, these are all from the Eastern Palace.

It's all come to this point, it's hard to turn around.

Especially the emperor's health is failing, it's too late now.

"Your Majesty, please be careful for Datang."

Li Shimin sighed deeply.

"Don't I know that it's too late for Yi Chu at this time, but I didn't expect this to happen. I really don't feel at ease in handing over Datang Jiangshan to Chengqian, a rebellious son."

Nei Zi said it all.

Qin Lang estimated that the matter was really serious, but he didn't know what Cheng Qian could do to make Li Shimin angry.

He had not been in the court for several years, and he didn't know much about the situation in the court, so he didn't know what happened for a while.

After a moment of silence.

Li Shimin took the initiative to tell the secret.

"I let Chengqian supervise the country these years, and watched with cold eyes, but I know more about Chengqian's behavior. I think Chengqian has the possibility of becoming a tyrant."
