Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 145 What Are Tens of Thousands Enough for?

If you want to talk about who has the strongest head in Chang'an City during this period of time, Wei Zheng dares to admit that he is second, and absolutely no one dares to admit that he is the first.

However, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were a little skeptical about this assertion after personally witnessing the strong side of Qin Xie Daoist leader.

What happened to Qin Shubao's son?
Is this too clever?

"Hmph! You don't need money from the court? Where does the money come from? Are you authorized to collect the people's fat?"

Li Shimin's tone became more and more cold.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of a method. Can the imperial court also build briquette workshops in other counties and counties, so that part of the refugee problem can be solved?"

Fang Xuanling has a good relationship with Qin Qiong, so naturally he doesn't want to see Qin Xiedao continue to make mistakes.

So he was a little blunt and wanted to change the subject again.

But Qin Xiedao didn't appreciate it at all.

"Your Majesty only needs to order the general to cooperate fully with the minister, and then allocate [-] mu of land outside the city to the minister. A palace that is not inferior to the Daxing Palace can be handed over to your majesty by the end of next year at the latest. No need The imperial court paid an extra penny."

Qin Xiedao felt that if he didn't say something quickly, Li Shimin would probably lose his patience.

"One hundred thousand mu of land? You want to build such a big palace? You don't need the court to spend money? How is it possible?"

Li Shimin felt that his patience was about to reach its limit.

He has a lot going on every day, and time is very precious.

How can there be so much time to talk nonsense with Qin Xiedao?

"Your Majesty, it is naturally impossible to build such a large palace. I estimate that the new palace will cover an area of ​​about [-] acres. After completion, it will become the palace with the most friendly living environment in all dynasties."

Qin Xiedao smiled obsequiously, and quickly added something.

He is still counting on relying on the [-] mu of land to cover the cost of building the palace. How could he agree to use all of them to build the palace?
If this is the case, it is estimated that the censor at Yushitai will be able to spew Qin Xiedao out the next day.

"You mean that the imperial court used [-] mu of land as the price, and then you will build a new palace?"

"That's right! Of course, in addition to the [-] mu of land, the full cooperation of the general prison is also necessary."

Qin Xiedao doesn't have anyone available right now.

But being a prisoner is different.

This is Datang's official largest industrial organization.

Whether it is the manufacture of various weapons or the construction of various palaces and houses, the general supervisor is basically responsible.

To put it bluntly, the thousands of craftsmen under Jiangzuojian are basically the highest-level craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is ironmaking or carpentry, or firing porcelain and building roads and bridges, they are the most professional.

If Qin Xiedao wanted to build a new palace, he would naturally need a lot of manpower to help.

It is also one of Qin Xiedao's goals to take advantage of this opportunity to make the Qin family the largest workshop owner in Datang.

After all, when the imperial court came out of the land and people, what they got was a new palace.

Other things naturally belonged to Qin Xiedao.

"Tell me specifically, what is your plan? Why can the court not spend a penny, and you can build a new palace covering an area of ​​[-] mu?"

For Li Shimin, [-] mu of land is a large amount, but as long as it is not that kind of fertile land, it is actually nothing.

Even if it is calculated according to the price of five pennies per mu of land, it is only worth 50 pennies.

The imperial court spent 50 guan to build a palace that would cost tens of millions of guan, which is definitely a bargain.

As for the need to fully cooperate with the supervisor, this is not a condition at all.

Even if Qin Xiedao didn't mention it, Li Shimin wanted the prisoner to participate.

"Xie Dao, the Qin family has made a little money, even a lot of money, by selling sugar, white clouds, soap and woolen thread in the past six months.

But even if I don't calculate the cost for you, the Qin family has only earned tens of thousands of dollars in the past few months, which is nothing compared to the 1000 million dollars spent on building the palace.

It's not that I'm hitting you, tens of thousands of pennies may seem like a lot, but you can't even buy back the giant wood needed to build the palace, let alone build various palaces within a radius of [-] mu. "

Fang Xuanling added anxiously from the side.

He very much hoped that Qin Xiedao could solve the problem of refugees.

But definitely not the way it is now.

Although Fang Xuanling is not good at building houses, he still has some ideas about the cost of building palaces.

The palaces where emperors live are much larger than ordinary people's palaces.

This requires the use of a large number of giant trees as pillars.

Although the forestry resources in this era are very rich, the kind of giant trees that can be used as pillars of palaces are actually relatively rare.

At least it is relatively rare near Chang'an City.

This may require transporting giant logs from Shannan Road and other places.

In this way, the purchase cost of a giant log at the place of origin may only cost a penny, but it may cost hundreds of pennies to transport it to Chang'an City.

And a palace comparable to Daxing Palace would definitely need thousands, or even tens of thousands, of giant trees.

The cost of giant wood is definitely the most expensive part of palace construction.

What can the Qin family do with the tens of thousands of dollars?

"What Xuanling said is also reasonable. Even if the construction is a little crude, without a few million guan, it is absolutely impossible to build a palace covering an area of ​​[-] mu."

Du Ruhui also interjected.

"Xuanling, Keming, please don't talk, I want to hear how he wants to fool us."

Once Li Shimin said this, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't say anything more.

Some time ago, everyone was envious of Qin Shubao, but now the two of them feel sorry for Qin Shubao.

Whoever has such a son, probably will not be able to sleep well.

"Just before entering the palace, Wei Chen happened to test the effect of cement in the workshop. This cement has the charm of turning decay into magic, and can turn gravel and sand into hard stone slabs.

For the construction industry, the emergence of cement means a revolution, and the time-consuming and labor-intensive methods in the past will be completely changed.

The construction of the new palace will use a lot of cement, so the minister will first recruit refugees to build cement workshops.

At the same time, Weichen will sell cement production technology to the outside world, attracting various merchants in Chang'an City to build their own cement workshops..."

Qin Xiedao started with cement, and slowly showed Li Shimin and others a completely different road map.

In terms of talking, Qin Xiedao is definitely not afraid of anyone.
