Chapter 123: Lao Yan's Responsibility
Yan Lide was shocked: "How to say?
Could it be that you want to return Furong Court to Your Majesty? ”
Li Tai laughed and said, "I still want to spit out the things in my hands, what do you want Dad!"
What we have to do is not to return the Hibiscus Garden to our father, but to expand the garden tenfold on the existing basis! ”
"Ten times?" Yan Lide's hand shook and the chopsticks fell, he stretched out his hand and touched Li Tai's forehead, and muttered: "There is no fever, why is the brain confused!"
Furong Garden covers an area of 30 hectares, and the expansion of ten times is 300 hectares, which is a full 30,000 acres of land, which is ...... Wouldn't it be to include the whole south of the city?
In this way, Chang'an City is equivalent to expanding the capacity by three percent!
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, what do you want to do with such a big land, and how will Your Majesty feel?
What's even worse is that the existing south gate city wall will be completely abolished, and the city defense of Chang'an will be useless, how can Your Majesty agree to such a ridiculous idea?! ”
With Yan Lide's personality, it is difficult to win the trust of the old man even if he has no strong motives, and Li Tai had to conduct actual combat exercises with the 50,000 troops of the Youzhou border army, so as to deter and contain Quangai Suwen, and tell the truth about the matter, and the additional 500,000 Guan military expenses will fall on the Furong Yuan Economic Development Zone.
Li Tai said with a solemn gaze: "Dad, the richest people in Chang'an now are the gate lords of the major families, and if you want to raise 500,000 yuan within a month, you can only make an idea from these local tyrants."
If you want this group of iron roosters to be willing to pay for it, you can't do it with the current Furong Garden, and we have to expand the scale and make a fuss.
You see, although Chang'an City is prosperous, it has inherent deficiencies in urban functional planning.
The huge city has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are only two cities in the east and west for amusement and entertainment, trading and shopping, and the two cities are located in Chang'an and Wannian counties respectively, separated by half of Chang'an City, and it is extremely inconvenient to shop and enjoy play.
For example, for gentlemen like Xiaofei and Yiai, the plan to go out today was to buy some Hu Shang's leather goods, high-quality saddle sheath and Goguryeo red ginseng, and then drink wine and make music and dance music for recreation.
With the current pattern of Chang'an, they can only shop in the West Market, and then go back to the East Market to listen to music, which wastes time and affects the play experience.
If there is a place where people can shop to their heart's content, and guests can have fun and entertainment, and then they can stay open all night without being affected by the curfew, do you think the rich people in Chang'an will be interested? ”
Yan Lide's eyes lit up and blurted out: "Not only are you interested, but for that group of wealthy businessmen, you can't miss it!"
Do you mean to build Furong Garden into a combination of east and west cities, integrating the functions of shopping and playing, and then cancel the curfew and let merchants enjoy it, so that it will completely become an area for Chang'an to play, attracting wealthy giants from Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Tai nodded appreciatively, the comprehension ability and divergent thinking of the Tang elite should not be underestimated, Yan Lide and Qingliu can still quickly understand the significance of the Furong Yuan Economic Development Zone, which makes him more confident in persuading Lao Li and a group of important ministers.
He was in high spirits and said: "That's right, after the re-planning of the south of the city, I named it Furong Yuan Development Zone."
In this brand-new development zone, we are positioned as the gold sales cave of Chang'an and even Datang, and the imperial court can also collect huge taxes from the luxury consumption and night economy of Furong District!
I made a preliminary estimate, as long as Haosheng plans to operate vigorously, it is not a problem for the imperial court to collect millions of taxes from the Furong Yuan Development Zone a year.
I will compile a detailed plan and submit it to my father in a few days.
The father must convene a pre-imperial meeting to discuss this matter, and I believe that the result will be soon.
If you have money, you don't make a bastard, the family is not a fool, and your father is not a person who eats the ancients, so you just wait for my good news. ”
Lao Yan was shocked by his son-in-law's ambition, and after pondering for a while, he had to admit that Li Tai's plan was more than eighty percent feasible.
With the family's insatiable desire for wealth, after Li Tai's plan was thrown, anyone who was eligible for a piece of the pie in the entire Tang Dynasty would definitely pounce and bite like a shark smelling blood.
"Young people dare to think and fight, and the old man has nothing to say, but what does this have to do with the old man saving up the family business?
Although the Yan family is a famous family in Longyou, according to your assumption, the non-wealthy giants in the Furong Yuan Development Zone are unable to compete, and they want to snatch food from the mouths of those gate lords, and the old man does not have the ability or the confidence.
Putting these aside, your plan still can't answer the old man's question, once the Furong Yuan Development Zone is completed as you wish, there will be a defense hole in the south of Chang'an City.
Even if the development zone can bring an additional tax of one million yuan to the imperial court in a year, the entire wall of the south gate will be invalidated, which His Majesty and the courtiers will not agree to under any circumstances.
Do you know how much effort and effort the construction of the Chang'an city wall cost the imperial court, and there is no stronger city in the world than Chang'an, so he ignored the defense of Chang'an City for some money, and His Majesty has not been confused to that extent! ”
Finally getting to the point, Li Tai said confidently: "What my father-in-law is worried about is the words of seeking the country, how dare the son-in-law play with the safety of the south gate city wall?"
Hehe, as long as the court agrees to my plan, my son-in-law can return a stronger city wall to Chang'an, which ...... I need your father-in-law's full support. ”
Yan Lide was puzzled: "Where to start with this, the old man has a lot of experience in building, and if he wants to build a new city wall that is stronger than the current city wall, the old man is really not sure." ”
"Whether the city wall is strong or not depends on the material of construction, and the son-in-law has recently figured out a new building material called cement, which is used to build cities and roads, which is more than ten times faster than stone buildings, and the strength is comparable to steel!"
Li Tai threw out the final bait.
The three magic weapons of crossing criminals, cement, glass, and distilled spirits, have quick results and high profits, how can Li Tai let them go.
The distilled spirits were given to Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai and Cheng Chuliang by chance, the life-saving grace of the three life-saving brothers, worthy of this golden hen that can lay eggs.
The two cash cows of cement and glass, because the situation forced them to come out with the planning of the Furong Garden Economic Development Zone, are also time to come out.
Yan Lide laughed dumbly when he heard this: "Qingque, don't fool me, if there is really such a building artifact in the world, why is the old man who will be a prisoner unheard of?"
The old man understands your feelings, for the sake of the overall situation of Liaodong, you have been thinking hard these days, and you have some wonderful ideas.
But Chang'an city defense is related to the safety of Datang, although the plan of the Economic Development Zone is beneficial to the country and the people, but this matter is too important to be urgent, we must plan from the long term step by step, and we must not rush for quick success and quick profit! ”
Li Tai said with a smile: "The surname of the Tang Dynasty is Li, no matter how mad I Li Tai is, I will never dare to regard the defense of Chang'an City as child's play."
Seeing is not believing, whether what the son-in-law said is true, as long as you and your father and the courtiers personally inspect it after the cement comes out, the results will naturally know whether it is true or false.
Now the son-in-law has only one request, if the father-in-law can allocate me to 20 skilled and faithful and reliable craftsmen, within ten days the son-in-law is confident that the cement will come out, and the father-in-law can test the effectiveness of the cement as soon as possible! ”
Yan Lide frowned and said, "Twenty masters have worked hard for ten days......
This matter violates the regulations of the imperial court, but for the sake of your dedication to the country, the old man can be the master and agree, if the province is investigated, the old man is willing to bear it.
Although ridiculous, the old man has been obsessed with the way of architecture all his life, and the cement old man you said is really tempted.
Even if it doesn't work, the old man will let his subordinates save money at most, it's worth it! ”
Li Tai said happily: "You can rest assured, the son-in-law never does something that he is not sure of, after the success of the cement, the matter of the Furong Garden Economic Development Zone will definitely come to fruition, and the son-in-law will leave a place for you in the best location in the development zone, just by virtue of this, Xiaofei is rich enough for a lifetime!" ”
Yan Lide smiled bitterly and was silent, his mood was inexplicably gloomy when he mentioned this rebel......
……
Outside the Mingde Gate, Xiao Zhengyu summarized the information fed back by the Baiqi, Jingzhao Mansion, and the Criminal Department, and said in a deep voice: "At present, there are nine roads of people and horses that are the most suspicious, and what we have to do is to find out the Quan Wensheng messenger from these nine people."
Yang Ding, have you arranged the road card to Goguryeo? ”
Adjutant General Yang Ding said respectfully: "The general can rest assured, his subordinates have arranged for the elite of the hundred cavalry to strictly guard against death, and the messenger who disciplines Quan Wensheng is difficult to fly."
But...... If a subordinate doesn't know what to say, should he say it? ”
Xiao Zhengyu stared at Yang Ding expressionlessly, and after a while, cold sweat broke out on the corner of Yang Ding's forehead, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "General, even if we catch the messenger of Quan Wensheng, no one can guarantee that Quan Wensheng will only arrange a messenger all the way."
If his subordinate was Quan Wensheng, he would definitely divide the troops, send people back to Liaodong in batches and phases, and even take Hebei Road to Denglai and take the sea route back to Goguryeo.
In this way, even if we have hands and eyes to the sky, it is impossible to wipe out the messengers, and Quangai Suwen will finally get the news of Chang'an......"
Xiao Zhengyu's eyes softened a little, and he nodded: "Yes, I know how to use my brain."
I don't understand this truth, in addition to these, Quan Wensheng's 'friends' in Chang'an are not something we can grasp.
As you say, no matter how hard we try, Gasuwen will definitely get the news.
But His Majesty's order is to capture the Quan Wensheng messenger, we only need to catch one of the messengers to be able to make a difference, and as long as the rest of the fish that have slipped through the net can delay the time for them to send back the news, it will be a great success for my hundred horsemen.
As for the rest of the things, the king of Wei is responsible, whether it is successful or defeated, it is not our turn to worry about the affairs of Liaodong! ”
