Destiny Only Han

Chapter 1028 Liu Ying: Emperor (×) Civil Dog (√)

“Since there is no shortage of money, let’s talk about demolition!”

After Liu Ying finished speaking, her eyes were bright.

Zhang Cang stared at the unfolded map and was slightly lost in thought.

This picture is very clear, and every detail is comprehensive. Even Zhang Cang, who doesn't know much about surveying and mapping, can understand it clearly when he looks at it.

He made preliminary calculations. If the outer city roads were widened according to the plan and the dead-end roads in the city were opened, it would affect at least thousands of miles and tens of thousands of houses!
After all, the original plan of Chang'an City was to be a capital city with a population of 20 million, but now the population living here is more than ten times the original plan, so that the same city has become an imperial city, an inner city, and an outer city. different ways of dividing.

The more Zhang Cang looked, the more he frowned.

The Han Dynasty did not invade the Qin Dynasty, and the land was privately owned. Therefore, if you wanted to demolish the land, you would naturally need to compensate the demolished households accordingly!
But the crux of the problem is that due to the existence of the household registration system, homestead land is bound not only to real estate such as houses, but also to hidden assets such as medical care and teaching.

Not to mention anything else, as far as children going to school is concerned, those families with school-age children will definitely not let the government demolish them and move them from the inner city to the outer city, or to live in other counties in Guanzhong!

Therefore, Zhang Cang looked at Wei Wuzhi and remained silent.

Sure enough, as he expected, Wei Wuwu laughed and started talking about his demolition plan.

"My plan is this. Before the people start to keep warm in late autumn, we will demolish the houses that prevent the water tankers from entering the village. This way, even if there is a disaster, the soldiers of the Si Xuan Department can arrive at the fire scene as soon as possible and launch the fire. Firefighting efforts.”

"Well, Chang'an County is responsible for the specific supervision of this matter."

"As for those people who have been demolished, I plan to redeem their houses at twice the land price and move them to Xincheng (Xianyang) north of the Weishui River. Let the Xincheng County Magistrate reorganize them into households and allocate land and houses according to their titles. …”

Wei Wuzhi paused for a moment and then continued confidently: "The development of the new city is not bad now. Besides, with the Third Weishui Bridge, the traffic between the new city and Chang'an will be smooth, and it will not have any impact on their work and life!"

"When the ice and snow melt in the coming spring, I will start to widen the Chang'an road and open the dead end road. I will try to use this lukewarm time to complete all the construction before entering the ambush!"

"I have a feasibility report on this project here. Your Majesty, please take a look at it!"

As he spoke, he handed a brochure to Bank of China and said.

Liu Ying was a little surprised when she received the feasibility report from the Bank of China.

Without him, it's too thin.

Wei Wuwu smiled broadly: "Your Majesty, this booklet is just a summary of the report. The detailed plan has been brought by the minister and is outside the palace at the moment."

For a few moments, Liu Ying was dumbfounded.

Four tall men walked out of the hall, two by two, carrying two huge trays in their hands, and the reports compiled into volumes were piled at least one meter high!
Ma De, it turns out that this booklet is just a catalog... Liu Ying felt her eyes darken.

Cao Shen almost laughed out loud.

After all, with the process of industrialization, the price of paper has become cheaper, which has led to the disappearance of the former style of writing that cherished words as gold. Especially those officials who passed the "national examination" and entered the officialdom were even more meticulous in writing reports. , quite a bit like a veteran who has been immersed in officialdom for decades!

Therefore, the number of words in a memorial has changed from a few hundred words to thousands or even tens of thousands of words today!

He, the most powerful Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, could fill several houses with the memorials he approved every day!
Now seeing Liu Ying's confused face, Cao Shen felt even more happy.

Of course, like Liu Ying, his so-called approval memorials are actually signatures and seals...

Without him, there would be thousands of officials in the Prime Minister’s Mansion!

Liu Ying looked at the pile of feasibility reports, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and her worries were swept away.

As an emperor, he doesn't have to do everything himself.

This kind of line-by-line review work can be left to his secretarial team!
This so-called secretary has something to do!

As for the specific candidate, a figure emerged in his mind.

Zhongshu Pushe.

Well, it’s Zhang Buyi…

Ha ha!Finally, I found something to do for that guy who only took money but did nothing... Liu Ying's face remained unchanged, but her heart was filled with joy.

Zhang Cang bowed and cupped his hands and said, "I think there is something wrong with this matter."

Liu Ying nodded: "But it doesn't matter."

"The internal history said that the demolished households will be moved to the new city. I thought it would be difficult." Zhang Cang shook his head and said, "Just imagine where Chang'an City is? At the feet of the emperor, the most virtuous city! What is the new city? The former Qin Dynasty. Capital, Chang'an is just attached to Guo!"

"Not to mention that there is a huge difference between the two, at least the difference is visible to the naked eye!"

"Don't say twice the compensation, even if it's ten times the compensation, how many people are willing to move out of Chang'an City?"

"We don't talk about education and medical care. We just talk about the land value and only compensate twice the premium. It's too little!"

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face.

Well, he is a big fat guy, and what he hates most is Xia Tian...

Wei Wuzhi frowned and asked, "Is twice as much still?"

Liu Ying remained silent.

"Small, it's indeed too little!" Zhang Cang nodded and looked at Liu Ying as he said: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Chang'an County to get the old files and see the land prices in Chang'an ten years ago and the current price. How many times the land price in Chang’an differs today!”

"I have been a prime minister before, and I have a certain impression of this. If my memory is correct, in the past ten years, land prices have not only increased tenfold, but at least more than five times!" "Today's Han Dynasty is prosperous, and Chang'an City is as important as In the most benevolent city, land prices are only increasing but not falling. If the internal history wants to use twice the land price to redeem the people's huge land, I'm afraid it's just a matter of course!"

Wei Wuzhi lowered his head and remained silent.

He really hadn't thought of that.

After all, his outlook on life, values ​​and other concepts were formed during the Qin Dynasty. Giving double compensation to the demolished households was the most benevolent policy he could imagine.

But now it's Han and not Qin!

Although the people's land is still owned by the state, the government's behavior of competing for profits with the people through administrative power will still be looked down upon by the world!

Wei Wuzhi claimed to be a descendant of Lord Xinling and cherished his feathers extremely. Naturally, he could not accept this ending of being reviled by the world!

Therefore, he looked at Liu Ying full of help.

After all, he was once Liu Bang's confidential secretary and part-time life secretary. The idea of ​​'looking for Liu Ying if you have any difficulties' has been deeply rooted in your bones...

Liu Ying smiled and said: "It makes sense to govern the history of Su Nei. Since relocating to another place is not feasible, then don't mention it again..."

Cao Shen frowned: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to give up eating because of choking..."

"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Liu Ying was a little displeased and took a sip of herbal tea: "What I mean is not to move to another place, but to find another place in Chang'an City to build houses for those people..."

Wei Wuzhi was stunned and said weakly: "Your Majesty, Chang'an City really doesn't have that much land left..."

Cao Shen also added: "Your Majesty, you must have forgotten that our great Han Dynasty pursues the twenty-level military merit system. Adult men are granted land and houses according to their titles. Even a bastard without a title can get a field and a house." ."

"If we follow the latest weights and measures introduced by Dahan, one house is equivalent to more than 1000 or two hundred square meters..."

"This demolition affects tens of thousands of households. Even if all of those people are concubines without titles, the amount of land required is astronomical. Not to mention that there are many high-ranking nobles with fourth-level titles or above among the demolished households!"

"That's why Chang'an City added an inner city and an outer city in addition to the imperial city..."

Wei Wuzhi said with a smile: "Just yesterday, the magistrates of Chang'an County and Huxian County went to court to file a lawsuit. The latter accused the former of encroaching on land in Huxian County to grant land and houses to the people of Changan County... "

ha? 'Chang' is sucking, this is... Liu Ying's face was confused.

After Wei Wuzhi finished speaking, he still looked at Liu Ying with bright eyes, hoping to get the answer to the question.

Liu Ying frowned, but she was happy inside.

After all, he has 5000 years of wisdom.

So, Liu Ying called the Bank of China and handed a key into his hand.

Bank of China nodded silently, bent down and walked backwards like a shrimp to the palace door, and then floated away as if sliding on the ground.

Cao Shen clicked his tongue in surprise.

Liu Ying was not surprised.

After a while, Bank of China said he would leave and come back.

Behind him were several sturdy chamberlains, who carefully walked in with a model in their hands.

It was an architectural model designed by Liu Ying and made in her spare time. It covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, not counting the public stalls. It is five stories high, with two households on one staircase, and six units in one building...

Zhang Cang's eyes opened wider and wider.

After all, most buildings at this time were one or two stories, and only those restaurants were built with four stories, focusing on the supreme experience of climbing up to a high place after drinking and overlooking the distance...

Therefore, this strange-looking building attracted Zhang Cang's attention at the first moment.

The same is true of Cao Shen.

But he was not amazed at this novel house, but mainly because it once again confirmed some speculation in his heart.

Someone, I am afraid that becoming emperor is just a last resort...

Liu Ying took a model off the tray, which was an overhead view of the house he made.

"This is the elder's room with a separate bathroom. This is the children's room. This is the master bedroom with a dressing room. It also has a bathroom. This is the kitchen. Considering the large population, we added another small house between the living room and the kitchen. bathroom……"

Liu Ying's face was full of pride: "How about it? Is the design okay?"

Cao Shen nodded obsequiously.

Although, he doesn't know what this model has to do with today's topic...

Zhang Cang nodded: "It looks pretty good, but what is this house used for?"

After all, what they live in is called a courtyard, with small bridges and flowing water, exotic flowers and plants, pavilions and pavilions, while what ordinary people live in is called a house, where they raise chickens and ducks, there are doghouses in front of them and pig pens in the back, and mulberry trees are planted around them...

Liu Ying said seriously: "Of course they are used as resettlement houses for demolition! These buildings have two rooms per staircase, and one unit can accommodate ten families. The land area is at best half of the previous residential buildings!"

"If all the demolished households are allowed to live in such houses, how much land can be saved!"
