Li Chengqian saw that a great achievement was gone, and not only that, but his proposal turned out to be a weapon for Li Tai to attack him.

He was furious, and at that time he thought about taking money from the salt administration he was in charge of. However, he has just experienced such a great victory as Tuyuhun, and his confidence has begun to build, and his ability to think about problems has also begun to improve.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. He thought about it quickly and felt that he couldn't do that.

Yan Zheng is not his own family. Although, according to the regulations, he has the retention money in his hands, and it is not a problem to build a monument. However, this will inevitably leave an excuse for the unauthorized use of court money.

Li Tai will never let go of himself, and he will definitely use the topic to play again.

Li Chengqian thought that Li You had raised this matter for the purpose of harming him Li Chengqian, and he would definitely have a solution.

Thinking of this, he had an idea.

Li Chengqian shook his spirits, and just as he was about to speak, Li Tai spoke first.

He said mockingly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you won't say it again, Li You has a way, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Tai suddenly regretted it, and he was now very worried, would that demonic Li You really have a way?

Sure enough, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Yes, it is this sentence, the fifth brother has a way!" ”

After speaking, he said to Li Shimin: "Father, the son recommended Li You, the king of Qi, he must have a solution to the predicament of the imperial court." ”

Gao Jingming is really having a hard time now, the household has no money, and he is stretched. He hoped that Li You could help the household department get money.

He also said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Qi must have a way." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji is also very confident in Li You now, he has already guessed that this matter of building a monument is not Li Chengqian's idea, he doesn't have that brain.

He also felt that since Li You had given Li Chengqian this idea, he must have left it behind.

He said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's proposal, please let His Royal Highness the King of Qi solve the predicament of the imperial court." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The ministers said one after another.

Li Tai and Li Ke are envious, jealous and hateful, and they hate that they can't be recommended by everyone, but it's a pity that they don't have this ability.

Li Shimin issued an order to pass Li You to the palace.

Li You came to the main hall, and Li Shimin said: "Prince, tell Li You about the situation." ”

Li Chengqian briefly gave a briefing on the situation.

Li You smiled: "What a big deal." ”

"Huh? There's really a way to do this. Li Tai was a little dumbfounded.

Li Chengqian was very excited, and everyone's spirits were raised.

Li Shimin asked, "What way?" ”

Li You said: "Father, first of all, the Great Voyage Plan, the rewards for meritorious soldiers and the pensions for disabled soldiers, and the Monument to Heroes must be done.

Since the first year of Zhenguan, the officials' salaries have only risen by less than 20%, and there has been no substantial change in their lives.

It's time to improve this too. ”

"Really?" The officials were excited.

Li Tai couldn't get used to Li You's appearance, and said, "If you talk big, who will." Where does the money come from? ”

Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly: "Li Tai, don't interrupt. Li You, you say, what way? ”

Li You said: "Father, if you have money, it depends on how we operate." Take Chang'an as an example, what is the most expensive? ”

Li Shimin was thoughtful and did not say anything.

Gao Jingming became excited, and he said, "Housing prices." ”

There is no need to talk about what the housing prices in Beijing look like here. Housing prices in the capitals of all dynasties were very expensive at the time.

Bai Juyi was the prime minister of the Wuzong era of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to buy a house in Chang'an. In the end, he went to Luoyang to build a house covering an area of 17 acres, and proudly showed off to others.

Li You said: "Yes, that's the problem. ”

Li Shimin asked, "Where does the land come from?" ”

Chang'an City has been planned from the beginning, except for a small amount of vacant land in the south of the city, there is basically no place.

Li You said: "Father, son-in-law will say a few things first.

First, Chang'an's biggest source of revenue is the tax revenue of the eastern and western cities. However, due to the management system, they have not been fully utilized.

Therefore, Erchen's first suggestion was to extend the opening hours of the eastern and western markets. The market will be open for 3 hours a day, extending to 6 hours.

In this way, it not only facilitates the life of Chang'an residents, but also facilitates the transactions of foreign merchants. The increase in trading volume can bring more than 30% of the tax revenue.

That's the first money. ”

Gao Jingming calculated slightly, and suddenly became excited, and he said, "Your Majesty, this is a lot of income." ”

Li You said: "With this idea, you can see what places in Chang'an City can be used.

There are 14 east-west streets and 11 north-south streets in Chang'an City. Each street is 45 zhang wide, and Erchen suggested that in addition to Suzaku Street, it is enough to keep 20 zhang wide for other streets.

Excuse me, how much can I sell for when I develop commercial shops on both sides of the street? ”

Gao Jingming roughly calculated, and suddenly felt that his heart couldn't stand it, and he said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, these money-topped taxes of the imperial court in the entire Tang Dynasty for one year!"

This is not excessive.

Chang'an City is 9,721 meters long and 8,651 meters wide, according to Li You's plan, the new commercial area is about 78 million square meters, according to the capital's housing prices, even if it is 2 guan yuan (calculated according to the price of rice, about 18,000 yuan soft sister currency) a square meter, it is worth 234 million yuan.

In the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the agricultural tax revenue was only 10000000 guan per year, and with other taxes, it was 15000000 guan at most.

Li Shimin also felt a little shocked, just move his hands and feet, there is so much money.

Li You continued: "Father, if Chang'an has such a business environment, it will attract merchants from all over the world, and how much tax will it bring?"

In addition, Erchen suggested that now that the world is peaceful, there is no need to implement a curfew system, and if you must do this, you can also postpone the curfew, such as starting it when it is time.

In this way, it will play a huge role in promoting the prosperity of Chang'an's commercial life, and such an increase in taxes is a lot of money. ”

The curfew in Chang'an begins at 6 o'clock every night, and it takes 600 beats to officially start the curfew at 7 o'clock. The night in Chang'an City was lifeless.

Gao Jingming's heart couldn't stand it anymore.

He suddenly thought that if all the major cities of the Tang Dynasty did this, except for the part retained by the local government, the rest of the money handed over to the household department, damn, I really couldn't imagine it.

Gao Jingming is a scholar of the household department and a professional, and he knows how big the benefits are. The other ministers were still ignorant.

Li You simply said directly, he said: "If this is the case, the lords' income can be increased by at least three times." ”

"Wow", now, the ministers all understand.

Li Shimin was already a little dizzy.

Li You did not give up and threw a small atomic bomb. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
