Chapter 995: The Power of the Workshop
Chapter 995
In the next period of time, many workshops in Licheng are under construction, Qin Huaidao mainly wants to build those workshops first, it doesn't matter if they are empty, whoever needs them will rent them to whomever they want, which is not bad, and his own home actually needs a lot of workshops.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach King Lu!" At this moment, on the side of the court, a minister said to Li Shimin above with a concerto.
Li Shimin heard it very strangely, Qin Huaidao was not in the capital, how could he impeach Qin Huaidao.
"Impeachment of Pepin, why?" Li Shimin stared at the imperial history and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, Hu Guogong built many workshops in Licheng, which should have been built in Luoyang according to the planning requirements of the court, but Hu Guogong did not follow the requirements of the court, but to build his hometown, as a prince, he should not only consider his hometown!" The Goshi stood up and spoke.
"That's right, Your Majesty, Luoyang is also in urgent need of various workshops now, according to the requirements of the court, Luoyang will be used as the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the future, but now Luoyang's prosperity has not even reached half of Chang'an, and even a quarter of it is not there, and a large number of workshops are needed to be built there.
And Licheng is completely incomparable, just because it is the hometown of King Lu and the fief of King Lu, so so many workshops are built there, I heard that many merchants here in Chang'an have gone, and they want to buy the products of those workshops, therefore, please give an order to King Lu to build those workshops to Luoyang! ”...
Many ministers stood up and began to oppose this matter, which made Li Chengqian and Li Shimin both look at them in a daze.
Qin Huaidao needs to open a workshop, what does it have to do with the court, how can there be a rule that Qin Huaidao can't open a workshop outside?
"This, ministers, Peping's construction of a workshop in Licheng has no impact on the court, right? Moreover, you also know that the court can't control this matter. This matter does not violate the laws of the court, and it is unreasonable for you to impeach, right?
Besides, building a hometown is something that everyone who is a little successful wants to do, Peping is the king of Lu, and he has a lot of industries, and he wants to build his hometown, there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention the court, right? Li Chengqian looked at those officials and said speechlessly.
This is also used for impeachment, and it is a bit of a saying that it will not go.
"Your Majesty, you can't promise Qin Huaidao about this!" At this time, Tang Jian stood up and said to Li Shimin.
"Why?" Li Shimin was puzzled, how could Tang Jian oppose Qin Huaidao to build a workshop in Licheng?
"Your Majesty, if it is built in Chang'an or Luoyang, it will be collected directly by our Ministry of Civil Affairs, but if it is now in Licheng, then it will need to pass through Licheng County, Jeju, and then the court, so that when it comes to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there may be half of it left, Your Majesty, you know the profits of the Peping Workshop, and you also know that those workshops can make more money, so the tax is so much less, it is not cost-effective!" Tang Jian stood there and said to Li Shimin.
"Well, but Pepin didn't pay less taxes, did he?" Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian and asked.
"That's not true, but there are fewer people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Your Majesty, do you know how much the workshop in Peping needs to pay taxes every year like the court? It's almost 200,000 guan money, and the workshop over there in Licheng, the minister thinks it's only a lot more, I heard that Pepyong has built a large number of workshops there, Your Majesty, this is hundreds of thousands of guan money, for Licheng and Jeju, isn't it a bit much? Tang Jian continued to speak to Li Shimin.
"How do you let me give an order to this, you also know that Pepin's family has gone to Licheng now, and they definitely need to make some contributions to the local area, otherwise, how will the local people treat Peping?"
Li Shimin is also very embarrassed, of course he knows how profitable Qin Huaidao's workshops are, and now no one knows how much profit Qin Huaidao's mansion made last year, some people say that they are rich enough to rival the country, but this Li Shimin doesn't believe it, because Qin Huaidao's many workshops, because Qin Huaidao's many workshops, the royal family has shares, and those money are directly to his internal money, so Li Shimin is not worried that Qin Huaidao can make money.
"Your Majesty!"
"Alright, let's stop this matter! I can't say, if you want Peping to build a workshop in the capital or Luoyang, you can convince him yourself, what's the matter with impeachment? This kind of thing was also impeached, and Pepin did not break the law. Li Shimin interrupted the ministers below to continue.
Those ministers are not really impeached, they just hope that Li Shimin can get Qin Huaidao to get those workshops back.
After the next dynasty, Li Shimin missed Qin Huaidao a little, after all, Qin Huaidao had been there for a while, and the sailors had been training, and the shipbuilding workshop was now also building civilian merchant ships, of course, those merchant ships could be used as warships if they were slightly modified, and this was also used as a reserve for warships.
Moreover, these merchant ships, according to Qin Huaidao, need to be handed over to the court to operate, but Li Shimin has been thinking about whether to hand them over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs or let the royal family manage them directly.
"Call Gao Ming over, it's time to talk about this matter." Li Shimin sat there and said to a eunuch beside him.
"This, yes!" The eunuch went out immediately, and after a while, Li Chengqian came over, bowed to Li Shimin, and then asked, "Father, is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, sit down and say, you have seen the secret recital sent by Pepin before, it is the matter of building the fleet." Li Shimin nodded and asked Li Chengqian.
"Well, I've seen it, Erchen is in favor, Pepin said very clearly in the recital, the merchant ships open the way, explore the local situation, see if there is any value of occupation, if not, then give up, if there is, then record it, wait for our warships to pass." Li Chengqian nodded and said.
"Then let me ask you, should this fleet be managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, or should it be managed by the royal family?" Li Shimin continued to ask, Li Chengqian heard it, and hesitated, he hadn't thought about this matter yet.
"Since Pepin said that he wants to form a merchant ship, it means that the profit must be very large, of course Pepin needs to occupy a part of the shares, but most of the shares are still in our hands, but it is said who will be handed over to manage, if it is an internal fund, then we will occupy the initiative at that time, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then they will be able to cooperate well with the Ministry of War to fight, so this matter still needs to be considered clearly." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
And Li Chengqian is very smart, since Li Shimin hesitated, he just wanted to hand it over to the royal family to handle this matter, but this matter is estimated to encounter a lot of resistance.
Over the years, our royal treasury has been enriched, and we have done a lot of things for the people, donated a large number of schools, and now all over the country also say that our royal family is good, which I think is very good.
On the other hand, if the court really needs money, our internal funds can also be taken out and handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and you did the same before, so I think it is better for the royal control of this matter, but the sons also know that the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments will definitely not agree, and they will definitely fight for this matter! Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.
"Well, so this matter, it should be decided as soon as possible, if it is said that the royal family does it, then do it quietly, you must not discuss it, the father also means that the royal family will do it, however, it also needs to be made clear, in the future, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs money, there is internal money, and it also needs to be taken out, in addition, the father wants to establish a university of science and technology again, and it will be built in Luoyang, completely with internal money, or called the Royal Second Polytechnic University!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"This son agrees, the University of Science and Technology is really talented, and now their ability is very strong, this is a great benefit to our Datang, and now the school-run workshop business is also very good, and King Ji is also doing well, which can bring nearly 30,000 yuan of profit to the internal fund every month, and employ about 5,000 people to work.
Now the outside of Chang'an City has changed greatly, all kinds of workshops have sprung up, and the tax revenue of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also increasing, today Tang Shangshu said about the Peping Workshop, I think Tang Shangshu just hopes that all the workshops are in Chang'an or Luoyang, so that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has a lot of money to do things! Li Chengqian continued to talk to Li Shimin.
Of course, Li Shimin knows this.
"Well, this kid Peping, a few years of hard work, has completely changed the Tang Dynasty, my father heard that now there are more than 100,000 people in Chang'an City, no less than 30, and more than 50,000 yuan, no less than 100, 10,000 yuan, there may be thousands, but really?" Li Shimin continued to ask Qin Huaidao.
"Absolutely more than that, especially those with a family property of 100,000 yuan, not to mention others, let's just say that Boping and Jinyong, in addition, Uncle Cheng's family must have exceeded, Fang Yiai's family must have also exceeded, Uncle Li Jing's family, Uncle Wei Chi's family, all of them have exceeded, and there are also businessmen, those businessmen are more, it is estimated that they will not be less than fifty, this is a good thing!" Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin with a smile.
"Okay, good, Pepin said, if the country is rich, the people will be strong, and if the people are rich, the country will be strong, and the wealth will be hidden from the people, so that once something big happens in the court, those people can also contribute their own strength to the court, a good thing!" When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian say this, he said happily that he wished that the entire people of the Tang Dynasty would have money.
