Chapter 844 The Solution to Land Mergers

Chapter [-] Solutions to Land Mergers
"That being said, it is undeniable that building a workshop can make huge profits. However, if everyone is setting up a workshop, wouldn't the fields be abandoned?" Having said this, Li Jiancheng said in a solemn tone: "Our Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture. , so abolishing agriculture and promoting industry, isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?”

"Of course it makes money to run a workshop, but not everyone can build this workshop!" Chen Ying pointed to the chimney outside and said with a smile: "Let's take the steel workshop as an example. Everyone knows that this workshop can produce steel every year." More than 1000 million catties. Although steel can be sold at a high price of less than 30 yuan a catty today, it can still be sold for more than [-] yuan a catty. After deducting the ore raw materials and labor costs, and deducting the taxes that need to be paid, you can still earn two dollars. [-] guan. However, for such a workshop, in addition to the cost of land, all the costs of the workshop, the construction of the blast furnace, the laying of the road, the construction of the gantry crane, etc., are all calculated, no less than [-] guan. Your Highness, you can calculate , the entire world can take out one hundred thousand families in one breath, how many can there be?"

If the price of Kaiyuan Tongbao is exchanged with later generations’ RMB, one hundred thousand guan is almost equivalent to 3000 million. Of course, the construction of a workshop is not directly able to produce, after all, it needs working capital support. In this way, a steel workshop The cost is about [-] million, even if there are [-] million US dollars equivalent to [-] million families in later generations, there are about [-] households in China.But in Datang, this ratio is even lower.

Li Jiancheng understood this.

Compared with this era, the right to set up a workshop is still in the hands of the big aristocrats and aristocrats. They have money, people, and rights in their hands. They can use their natural contacts and resources to open some resource development workshops at any time. , Guaranteed to earn a lot of money.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Even if we do this, the rich will remain rich and the poor will remain poor. What's the difference from before?"

"The difference is naturally bigger!" Chen Ying pointed to Qinglinli and said: "In our place in Qinglinli, all the fertile land is only [-] mu, and this kind of land can support at most [-] households. People!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

In this era, agricultural output is extremely low. The key is that farmers do not have the funds to delve into scientific farming methods. In addition, most farmers simply do not have the money to buy phosphate fertilizers, bone plant powder, and raise various livestock to make organic fertilizers.Usually, in a good harvest, a farmer needs [-] mu of land to feed a family of five, and the remaining [-] mu is used to improve life and pay taxes.

Chen Ying continued: "However, there are more than [-] households living in Qinglin, and there are still a large number of migrants who come to do part-time jobs! They rely on their work to make money to subsidize their families and improve their living environment. Your Highness the Crown Prince You can go and do a random survey, but every family who has worked in Qinglin for more than two years has almost built a new house!"

Li Jiancheng nodded to Wei Ting beside him, and Wei Ting withdrew slowly.

Naturally, Chen Ying was not afraid of Wei Ting going to investigate. Under the condition that farmers in the Tang Dynasty had their own homesteads, the cost of building a small courtyard with five main rooms and two side rooms would be around [-] guan.This is still the price of hiring helpers and purchasing materials.The key is that the people are very simple now. If the neighbors build a new house, they will spontaneously come to help, and only need the head of the house to take care of the meals. In this way, the cost will be further reduced, and a set of such a house can be built for about ten yuan. house.

The key point is that with the increase of workshops in Qinglin, the labor costs here are also increasing. It used to be that you can hire a middle-aged laborer for a dozen or so dollars a day. No one could be found at all.Chen Ying once conducted a survey. The craftsmen in Qinglin, even the most unskilled types of work, can earn more money than usual for a month or two years, which is enough for them to build their own new houses.

Chen Ying continued to explain to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness, you also know that in times of famine, ordinary people have no savings, and the only way to survive natural disasters is to sell land, children and daughters. Under such circumstances, aristocratic families can acquire a large amount of land at a very low price. However, with the establishment of workshops, these workshops need to employ craftsmen. Every household has a savings of tens of thousands of dollars, and they have the capital to bear the natural disaster. Even if the farmers have no land, they can still use their labor to support the family and survive. The people raised their arms and shouted, and the crowd responded!"

Chen Ying was very touched by later generations. (In fact, it was Lao Cheng who felt it. This year, there was a flood in his hometown. When the water depth was the deepest, it was one meter above the horizon. Not only did Lao Cheng’s [-] acres of land not see a grain of grain, but he entered it The cost of plowing the land, chemical fertilizers, seeds and pesticides is thousands of dollars. Almost all the autumn grain in a county has no harvest. Now that the farmers have money in their hands, they can only consider themselves unlucky. They are still in the flood receding. Just plant) If the farmers have no spare money in their hands, such a disaster of no harvest is very scary.

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Chen Ying went on to say: "There are many benefits to opening a workshop. There is no need to solve the way out for farmers. The key is that the mobilization speed will be very fast when the country is in war. For example, there are thousands of workshops in Qinglin. One edict can complete the mobilization of 4 to [-] people in one day at most. If the armed equipment is distributed, they can form an army within three days. Of course, the speed of mobilization is only one aspect, and there are other greater benefits? "

"Greater benefits?" Li Jiancheng felt that his brain was not enough.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "It's natural. There are dozens of carriage workshops in Qinglin, and they can produce hundreds of heavy-duty carriages a month. Horse-drawn carriages, thousands of four-wheeled carriages, can handle [-] to [-] shi of grain and grass transportation at one time..."

Not long after, Wei Ting came back.

Wei Ting excitedly said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, I have already inquired clearly. The craftsmen here in Qinglin almost built new houses within two years. The house even took in a room of concubines!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Don't look sloppy, Blacksmith Hu, that guy has a lot of money in his hand. As for his blacksmith shop, when it was sold to him, thirty guan was too much for him. Now if you want to sell [-] guan It is estimated that no one is willing to bargain!"

With the rise of workshops in Qinglinli, not only does it have the most prosperous group of workshops in Chang'an, but the land price has also been driven up to a very high level. It is no exaggeration to say that the land price here is almost as high as that in Chang'an City.Any shop is worth hundreds of thousands of guan. The location of Wangjiang Tower, because it is close to the Jieyu River, was originally a piece of wasteland. Chen Ying bought more than 1000 mu at a price of [-] guan.

Later, with the rise of commerce, there were more and more wealthy businessmen here, and the service industry also began to rise.When the proprietor of Wangjiang Tower approached Chen Ying to buy this wasteland of less than [-] mu next to the Jieyu River, Chen Ying used to bid all over the sky, and directly drove it up to [-] yuan.But who would have thought that the proprietor of Wangjiang Tower, the Jingzhao Han family, would directly decide to take it down without saying a word.The last piece of wasteland was taken down by seven hundred red buildings including Wangjiang Building, Hongyan Pavilion, Lianxing Pavilion, Chuyun Building, and Piaoxiang Pavilion, forming a street of red buildings in Qinglinli.

This piece of land, which was originally priced at only 6 guan, was doubled in Chen Ying's hands, and sold for more than [-] guan.

That shop of Tiejiang Hu actually entered the bustling area in Qinglin, and some people even went out to thousands of shops, but Tiejiang Hu didn't sell it.

After Wei Ting's investigation, the model in Qinglinli refreshed Li Jiancheng's understanding of the economy, and everything became very strange.

Of course, with the rise in land prices, Chen Ying is the one who takes the most advantage, because he bought more than [-] mu of land around Qinglinli, including wasteland and alkaline land, at a price almost free. The price of the worst land has also doubled by a hundred times.

If it weren't for the crazy development in Qinglin, Chen Ying really wouldn't have the strength to develop the Western Regions by himself.

Li Jiancheng blushed for a while, turned pale for a while, pondered for a long time, let out a heavy breath, and said slowly: "Although the opening of the workshop is a huge profit, but this... there will be losses and profits. It's okay to make a profit, but Once the compensation is made and the agriculture is neglected, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Hey..." Chen Ying sighed, and smiled softly: "Your Highness, you are wrong. In fact, you don't have to bear this risk at all. Business is about being responsible for your own profits and losses. Whoever opens the workshop, who makes money, who makes losses , what has it to do with you? You just need to sell or rent out the useless wasteland at a very high price. What kind of workshop they run and how to make money are all their own business. Forget it, the imperial government is only responsible for collecting taxes!"

Speaking of this, Chen Ying's eyes suddenly brightened, smeared all over, and introduced to Li Jiancheng in high spirits: "The benefits of opening a workshop are too many, and the construction of a workshop requires a lot of bricks, stones, wood, and tiles. , Someone needs to build a workshop, there is wood, and it needs to be felled. The local people who have wood can make money, and the loggers can also make money. The workers who can build workshops can also make money, and the people who burn bricks and tiles can also make money. , the government can collect taxes, why not do it?"

"There are more and more workshops, the more taxes the government can receive, and more people can work. Once there is a famine, they will have enough confidence to deal with the famine!" Chen Ying drew in front of Li Jiancheng. A huge picture cake, said with a smile: "The most important thing is that opening any workshop is more profitable than farming. These aristocratic families and landlords will definitely not spare no effort to annex the land. Even if they are not smart, there is actually no problem. You can only earn a little money by farming, and the farmers have gone to work, who will plant the land they merged for them?"
