Chapter 255: Follow-up Arrangements

When Wei Zheng came out of the venue of the drama theater, his steps were light, and what he wanted to do most now was to go back to the inn to write a recital to the emperor, which was more than eight million guan, although the cash was only less than three million, but it was more than the imperial court's tax in a year.

Sun Xiangfu, who came out after him, did not put his mind on the money, which seemed to be a lot, compared to the money saved in the cabinet, but it was not half of it, and he was counting the amount of land taken by each family.

Due to the most abundant cash reserves, the Wang family won 1.5 million mu of land, the Li family of Longxi took 700,000 mu, the Qinghe Cui family took 600,000 mu, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Cui family of Boling only took 500,000 mu, the Lu family of Fanyang took 900,000 mu, and the Li family of Zhaojun only took 300,000 mu, and all the other small and medium-sized families were excluded.

Now, the five surnamed seven families are not very satisfied with the amount of land they have gotten, and they are even more dissatisfied with the price of the land they have taken, because the average price is almost equivalent to the ripe fields in Guanzhong, and these lands are not enough for the serfs they have harvested to cultivate, not to mention that they have prepared tens of thousands of serfs for their own families, and they all stay at home to eat idle meals? Apparently impossible.

Therefore, their eyes will turn to the second type of land, and many places of the second type of land are actually not worse than the first type of land, the only problem is that it is far away from the Han city, not close to the Great Wall, the safety is not so easy to guarantee, and the development needs to invest more manpower and material resources.

Sun Xiangfu is actually more inclined to develop it into a half-pastoral and half-cultivated area, and has already asked Xi Junmai to mobilize all the herdsmen who may survive in this area and move to Shanyang City.

Historically, after Li Shimin defeated Jieli, he moved more than 100,000 people to the south of the Yellow River, and these people now almost all live in this area, but now there are still many people in the area controlled by Jieli in the west, and it would be good to be able to have half of them in the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

After these people returned to Shanyang, Sun Xiangfu would let the family who took the land hire some of them to help develop animal husbandry, and some of them stayed to develop new breeding methods, and developed Datang's dairy products and animal husbandry supporting industries.

Walking two steps faster, Sun Xiangfu got on Wei Zheng's carriageway, "Lord Wei, the kid doesn't want to stop you from reporting your merits, but it's better to report this letter to Your Majesty in the form of a secret performance." ”

"You can't say anything to people, if you can't tell a reason, the old man won't listen to you."

Wei Zheng's face was pale, and he said with a businesslike look, he thought that as a minister, the most important thing to do was to limit the imperial power and not let the emperor do too much as he wanted, for example, to control too much money and spend it indiscriminately.

"If you report this money, guess what the officials of the imperial court who haven't taken it for a few months will think?"

"Of course, it's a reissue."

Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord Wei misunderstood, the kid didn't say that he would hand over this money to the imperial court from beginning to end, even if he paid it, it would be after the autumn tax next year, and it would be paid according to the regulations. ”

"Don't hand it over to the imperial court? You tell the old man, what do you want to do with such a large amount of money in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate? ”

Wei Zheng obviously had some anger on his face, and the local officials withheld such a large amount of money in their hands, and in a word often used by the officials to describe it as 'plotting against the law'.

"If it is handed over to the imperial court, I will go to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to drink the northwest wind?"

"Drink the northwest wind?"

"Well, it's just nothing to do and blow the cold wind."

"Your Anbei Protectorate is a border village, and it's normal for cold winds to blow!" Wei Zheng still didn't quite understand what Sun Xiangfu meant, and answered.

"Hehe, if the ministers of the imperial court are the same as you, treat the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate as a border land, it will always be a border land, but if it is developed according to my plan, soon, it will not be a border land, but a major tax town of the imperial court, you take these funds that the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate wants to use for development back to the imperial court, it is equivalent to killing chickens and eggs, and breaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's outward development, have you forgotten the map on the wall of the venue? That is not a groundless fantasy, if the imperial court does not hold back, it will become a reality here in two or three years at most. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was a little stunned, Sun Xiangfu really said two reasons why he couldn't get the money back, but he felt that it was a little wrong to let Sun Xiangfu eat meat for the herdsmen outside the Guanzhong like this, so that the officials and people in Guanzhong could live a poor life.

"Half, the old man will take half of the money back to His Majesty to support the operation of the imperial court!" After thinking for a while, Wei Zheng compromised.

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he still shook his head and said, "This is not bargaining, one is one, two is two, Lord Wei will take the money back, not only will it not help the court solve the difficulties, but it will once again let the money go back to the hands of those family officials, and if you don't take it back, it will be able to get miraculous results." ”

Wei Zheng felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and asked, "What miracle effect?" ”

Sun Xiangfu replied with a smile, "Think about it, these family members left more than 20 million yuan in cash in Shanyang, so what will happen?" ”

Wei Zheng raised his head and thought for a while, "The old man doesn't dare to say how much money there is in the entire Tang Dynasty, but 20 million yuan, which must account for a large proportion, will cause the national copper price to rise." ”

Sun Xiangfu patted his leg and said, "That's right, even if the family has accumulated enough wealth and takes out 20 million yuan, it is impossible for them to have so much cash in their hands, and after taking the land, what are they going to do?" Buying cattle and farm tools, timber, building villages, and engaging in development, it is impossible for them to buy these things in the Central Plains and transport them all the way to the outside of the Guan. Therefore, they will purchase nearby in Shanyang, and I, Shanyang, only accept cash. ”

"You, you, you want to collect all the money in the world into Shanyang?" Wei Zheng thought about the picture and stammered a little.

Now that 5 million mu of land has been auctioned off, according to the agreement, the few companies that have auctioned off the land have to move more than 200,000 young and strong people to engage in development outside the border, and the cost of building houses, farm tools, and ploughing cattle for so many people is not small.

"No, no, the Central Plains has been digging copper and minting money for thousands of years, and it is difficult to estimate how much money the people have, but it is definitely not only tens of millions, and it is difficult for anyone to collect them all. The purpose of my doing this is just to let them release the grain reserves in their hands because of lack of money, and to calm the price of grain in Guanzhong, so your recital, not only to mention the matter of the amount of money, but also to explain that my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is in ruins, and a lot of investment is needed to carry out construction, for example, the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen on the original Tuli territory will be raised by the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and next year, digging irrigation canals, leveling the land, building roads, etc., will require a lot of money and moneyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

What Sun Xiangfu said, Wei Zheng finally understood, if he didn't give money to the court, then the officials in the court would not encourage the emperor to spend a lot of money to buy the grain in their hands, because they knew that the emperor had no money in his hands, and if they wanted cash for follow-up development, they had to sell what they had in their hands to the people.

It is definitely not these big families or the nobles of the court, but those poor people, how much money can the poor people have to buy food to eat? It's nothing more than a little salary for helping the court build roads recently, and if they want to earn this hard-earned money, then their grain can only be reduced in price, because the people are working hard to earn money, and if the money they earn is not enough to feed themselves, they will not spend this money.

In fact, this is a follow-up to Sun Xiangfu's investment promotion plan, and the sale of land emphasizes the need for cash, which makes the price of grain in Guanzhong drop by a round.

Now, the land is almost sold out, and if you want to engage in development, you have to invest in development! Sun Xiangfu still wants cash, which will make the price of grain in Guanzhong drop again, because in this year, the only thing that can be sold in bulk is grain.

Being able to repeatedly find ways to reduce the price of grain in a disaster year, this Sun Xiangfu is also a genius, Wei Zheng thought, but said, "Then how to solve the situation that the imperial court is short of money and difficult to operate?" ”

"Hehe, this should be something that many ministers of the imperial court should discuss, but when Lord Wei returns to Chang'an after a while, there should be a surprise."

Sun Xiangfu didn't say it, he really couldn't say it, after all, now that history has changed, it's hard to say whether Li Jing can successfully take Jieli, he just thinks that the probability is very high, and Jieli, although he has fought again and again, he has looted the countries of the Western Regions before, and he can support 100,000 cavalry, and his family foundation should be very rich, Li Jing took him, and it should not be difficult for Guanzhong to spend the most difficult time in the spring of next year.

Then there is Wang Hao's line, I believe that not long after Wei Zheng returns, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be transported to Chang'an, which will once again impact the grain market in Chang'an, of course, at that time, Sun Xiangfu wanted to send a sum of money to Li Shimin to purchase some grain for backup.

The carriage soon arrived at the inn, Wei Zheng got off the car when he didn't have the excitement when he got on the car, he was the dignified imperial historian Wei Xuancheng, the head of the ministers, after coming to Shanyang, he was first forced to do a deceitful thing, and now, like some ministers, he had to play a secret narrative for the emperor, and he was like the emperor's henchmen, what kind of system did this be!

Sun Xiangfu didn't wander around much outside, changed to his own car, and went all the way back to the house, and after a while, Wuyinger was called to the study by him.

"In addition to helping me keep an eye on the movements of the Wang family tonight, send some people to help me spread the news."

Shadowless arched his hand and said, "Lord, please command." ”

"Let's just say that there are several animal husbandry and dairy product development projects in Anbei Prefecture that are looking for partners, and if there is no accident, they will choose among the families who have obtained the second-class land, and in addition, the newly made milk candy in the house will be handed over to those vendors, and they will be sold in the city, and I believe that those families will know what to do after eating the milk candy."

Shanyang's milk tea is now very popular, not only has it become a must-have drink in the aristocratic mansion, ordinary people also buy a cup to drink when they are greedy, however, the consumption of more than 100,000 people is huge, and the milk source that Sun Xiangfu now has is insufficient supply, the reason why he wants to cooperate with Wang Xu to plant three million acres of oat fields, in addition to wanting enough forage hoarding, is to use captive breeding methods to raise more cows to meet Shanyang's milk market.

However, even if the 3 million acres of oats are planted, the cows raised by the forage obtained can only meet the needs of the Anbei Prefecture with a large population growth in the future.

In the same way, if he can't complete this matter with his own strength, then he has to find someone to cooperate, and use a thing that he originally wanted to do to maximize the benefits of selling land, so why not!
