Chapter 359 Capital Expansion Plan
Emperor Ganwu nodded reassuringly.

Thinking of the performances of the nine admirals these days, Emperor Ganwu smiled and said: "Because of the existence of scientific research institutes and your large and small factories, the population of the capital has increased by nearly 10 people, and the nine admirals have often complained to me and shouted We need to expand our manpower.”

In the past two years, Li Changfeng's industries have developed successively in the capital, requiring a lot of workers, creating tens of thousands of jobs, and attracting many people from the surrounding area to work.

The increase in floating population will naturally cause many security problems, and it is normal for the pressure on the nine admirals to increase.

This incident reminded Li Changfeng.

According to the current development of his industries, more factories will be built and more people will be attracted to work in the capital. If the scale of the capital city does not expand, it will be difficult to accommodate these people.

It is imperative to expand the capital city.

This is a super profitable project. Li Changfeng is very experienced in this area. He just copied his previous life, and it is difficult to lose money.

Li Changfeng thought about his words and said, "Father, it's time to expand the capital."

"Expand the capital?"

The sudden mention of this matter caught Emperor Qianwu off guard.

It is indeed necessary to expand the capital now, but it involves so much that Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Li Changfeng explained the situation in the capital and his thoughts.

Emperor Ganwu thought about it carefully after listening, nodded and said: "You are right, it is indeed time to expand the capital."

Speaking of this, Emperor Ganwu sighed and looked helpless: "However, the expansion of the capital costs a lot. Although the treasury has money now, there are many places to spend it. I think this matter should be put on hold for now."

Li Changfeng smiled strangely and said, "Father, what are you kidding? It will cost money to expand the city? This is clearly a profitable business, okay? When this project is completed, it is estimated that the treasury will have an extra 2000 million taels of silver."

"how can that be?"

Emperor Ganwu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise.

Intellectually speaking, this is impossible. How can you make money by expanding the city?It's obviously burning money.

If ordinary people said that, he would have been beaten out by people.

But when Li Changfeng said that, he had to take it seriously.

Li Changfeng knew that it was difficult for Emperor Qianwu to understand this business model, so he explained patiently.

"First of all, the land outside the capital city belongs to the state. When I expand my new city, don't I have to buy land from the state? Does the state have to make a fortune by buying land?"

Emperor Ganwu nodded: "If you are doing business, you really need money to buy it. Of course, I can also give it to you, without spending a tael of silver..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Ganwu came to his senses and widened his eyes: "You mean...you want to do the expansion of the capital?"

"Of course." Li Changfeng nodded and said with a smile, "You can only make money if you let your ministers do it."

Emperor Qianwu still had some doubts: "I can't just listen to your one-sided words and believe it. You can talk about how to make money in detail."

"First of all, the roads in the new city will be paved with asphalt, and the standards are higher than those in Baishi City. Professional domestic sewage drainage ditches will also be built to strive to make the environment of the new city surpass that of Baishi City and create a very good life. environment."

Emperor Qianwu was very impressed with the environment of Baishi City. Now that he heard that Li Changfeng wanted the new city to surpass Baishi City, he couldn't help but look forward to it even as an emperor.

However, he also had a doubt: "You are talking about spending money, how do you earn money?"

"Father, don't worry. With a good living environment, the next step is educational resources. Taking this opportunity, I will build all the schools from child to adult... As for the teaching staff, let the scientific research If you come to teach in the institute's research institute, and you can enter the children's industry to work if you succeed in your studies in the future, do you think people are willing to go?"

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but nodded.

Although he is in the palace, he is always paying attention to the public sentiment.

Now in the whole world, except for the top dignitaries, who would not want to work for Li Changfeng?
Even many ministers said in private that it is better to work for Li Changfeng as an official in the court, because their salary is not as much as that of some skilled workers in the industries under Li Changfeng's command.

This is a fact.

Emperor Qianwu also felt very helpless about this.

Fortunately, none of the ministers really resigned to work for Li Changfeng. After all, the status brought by being an official in the court was unmatched by those people.

However, Emperor Qianwu was still puzzled. Building the school was also a waste of money. How could he get 2000 million taels of silver from just selling the land?

Li Changfeng continued.

"After the road is built, shops will naturally be built on both sides of the road. By the way, I almost forgot to mention that Erchen will also build a bigger hospital. In this way, the new city will have the best job opportunities, the best educational resources, and the best Good medical resources. If Erchen builds a house here, do you think anyone will buy it?"

Emperor Ganwu nodded without hesitation: "Of course someone will buy it."

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "That's right, you can collect taxes when you sell the house, isn't it money? My son also needs to build shops on both sides of the road to sell, and you can also collect taxes. Isn't this money? There are many businesses. Yes, we can also collect taxes, wouldn’t we make money?”

Emperor Ganwu was a little puzzled: "You mean, you will build all the houses?"

In the past, whoever owns the land will build it himself, and there has never been a precedent for such a thing to be built by one person.

Li Changfeng said matter-of-factly: "Erchen bought the land, and of course he will build it in a unified way. Erchen plans to build it with reinforced concrete, at least six floors, with unified planning and management, and sell it in high, medium and low grades."

Now Emperor Qianwu understood completely.

This is indeed a lucrative business.

It can even be said that it is difficult not to make money. Just collecting taxes can enrich the treasury.

Emperor Qianwu was a very courageous emperor, and immediately expressed his opinion: "Okay, I agree to this matter!"

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while and added: "However, this matter still needs to be discussed in the court, lest they keep saying that I am arbitrarily arbitrarily determined, and tomorrow is the Great Court Meeting, you come to the court to raise this matter."

"No." Li Changfeng shook his head and refused without thinking.

It was too early for the morning court, and he didn't like to argue with so many ministers.

Seeing that Emperor Qianwu frowned, Li Changfeng added: "Father, this matter is not troublesome at all. You can directly tell the ministers and ministers to expand the capital. Why object?"

Emperor Ganwu thought for a while and said: "It makes sense, then you don't use it."

After finishing speaking, he gave Li Changfeng a hard look: "Is it so difficult for you to go to court to learn how to govern the country?"

Li Changfeng chuckled and said, "Isn't the father here with you? My son, let's focus on the planning of the new city."
