Chapter 370: On Luoyang's Economic Development (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
If you want to talk about the way of germination, who are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty who are most convinced?
Only Sun Zhengming also.
In fact, these are some of the most basic development examples of later generations, as long as a person who grew up in later societies, he knows it.
In the era when Sun Xiangfu grew up, the main job of the government was to promote the city to do various projects, including public service projects such as water and electricity, road traffic security, consumption projects for tourism and entertainment, commercial projects for import and export, industrial projects for manufacturing, and so on.
He only gave the eldest grandson Wuji a little overview of these development patterns, which made him feel like an initiation, and he instantly gained some confidence in the procurement of 23 million yuan.
Of course, the biggest benefit of promoting commercial prosperity is to make the output of the people at the bottom valuable, in ancient times, agricultural production is the root of all production, however, even if you plant the field well, the business is not prosperous, the farmers can not get rich, the business is in full bloom, when the farmers cultivate, there are more choices, and the things grown can also be sold at a good price.
Suppressing the various thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, Eldest Sun Wuji asked Sun Xiangfu with a little excitement, "If Chang'an also implements an open system like Shanyang, how much do you think Chang'an's taxes can be increased?" ”
Sun Xiangfu calculated slightly according to the population base, and then replied, "Conservative estimates, more than three times is there, the more the population, the more there will be some crowd effect, Chang'an as the center of Guanzhong, not only its own permanent population, millions of people in Guanzhong, are also potential consumers of Chang'an, if the implementation of the policy is good, four or five times is not a problem." ”
Think about the current tax of seven or eight hundred thousand guan, if it is doubled by four or five times, it will be three or four million guan, if you add the tax revenue of Shanyang and all over the country, there will be almost seven or eight million guan, then, it seems that the debt of more than 20 million guan is not very large, and the imperial court can pay it off in about three years.
Moreover, the more taxes the imperial court has, the greater the merit and authority of his household department, and for him personally, doing this reform is also a great thing that will help his political achievements.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was already thinking about how to play a reform chapter for Li Shimin, now has no objections to the matter of arms procurement, and to apply the model that Sun Xiangfu said, such a large-scale equipment manufacturing can drive a lot of employment in Guanzhong, and there are more people who make money, and there are more people who consume it.
"Can Zhengming copy a copy of Shanyang's complete set of management models and tax policies, so that the old man can refer to it in detail?"
"This is just a trivial matter, I will serve it later, I believe that Your Majesty and the courtiers don't need you to explain more, they all understand, after all, they are in Shanyang, but they have lived for more than three months."
In fact, experiencing Shanyang's management system is the biggest benefit that Li Shimin's northern tour has brought to the country, Sun Xiangfu knows that he is telling everyone about the benefits of these management systems out of thin air, and most of them can't accept it, so let them see the example directly, and the situation will be different.
After actually feeling and even liking Shanyang's management model, they can see the disadvantages of the existing management model more clearly.
Even, some people are accustomed to the free and open environment over there, and when they return to Chang'an, they will not be used to it, it can have a cognitive impact on all officials, knowing that there is another way, which is also clear, so that Datang will become smoother on the road of overall reform.
After talking about this issue, the eldest Sun Wuji talked to Sun Xiangfu about the construction of the new countryside in Guanzhong, and his execution ability was also very strong, and it took less than a year to change the appearance of more than seventy percent of the villages in the three counties around Chang'an.
However, some of them were originally controlled by five surnames and seven families, and the vacant brick houses in those villages are obviously inappropriate if they were given to the Goguryeo people who moved to live in vain.
Shengmien, the truth of fighting Mi Qiu, the eldest grandson Wuji still knows, it is too good for them at once, and in the future, these people will be difficult to manage, but how to adjust, he didn't think of a good way for a while, so he wanted to listen to Sun Xiangfu's opinion.
"It's so easy! You don't think that the people who were requisitioned by His Majesty to work in Weinan still want to return to their barren villages to farm!
Wouldn't it be nice to directly resettle their houses nearby and take advantage of the situation to remove the original barren villages!
You only need to get a replacement policy, take the original barren land, deduct part of the cost of these bricks and tiles new houses, make up the difference, if the money is not enough, you can also give them loans and installments, but I am afraid that when the time comes, the vacant house on hand is not enough!
As for those Goguryeo people, let them live in shack-style houses for two years, and then gradually build them into new villages, so that they will know what our court has done for them, so that they can know the importance of obeying the management arrangements of the imperial court. ”
"It's a great good." The eldest grandson Wuji slapped the table and praised.
"However, there is another problem, you also have to take into account that in the future, there will be a large number of workers in the Weinan New Industrial Zone, according to the current scale of dozens of large factories, after the production next year, there will be hundreds of thousands of wage earners gathered here, to ensure their daily use and housing, is a major task, and moreover, there are more people, land prices will rise, just like the difference between the densely populated Chang'an and some sparsely populated remote and small places, the follow-up, the population of this new industrial city is expected to break one million.
Therefore, not only the boundary of Weinan, but also the land around Weinan, as long as it is in the name of the imperial court, should not be easily sold, tun up as a reserve land, once the land in Weinan County is used up, it can also be developed in the surrounding areas, if the surrounding land is built without planning by others, then, the cost of demolition and relocation in the future will be great. ”
In ancient times, there was basically no such thing as individual ordinary people fighting against the imperial court, and the imperial court said that it was okay to demolish and build it, but by doing the work in front, you could avoid a lot of waste.
Moreover, at present, only Sun Xiangfu dares to boldly predict the future development trend of the city, and it is impossible for others to think that a mere county will gather a million people in just one or two years.
"No wonder you dare to invest so much money in Weinan New Town, if the land price there is like in Chang'an City, the money you invested will be doubled."
"Hehe, of course, the investment must have a return, but I will not earn it alone, all the people who follow up the investment will make it, don't you also invest a lot.
Therefore, when we encourage consumption, we must also encourage investment, so that all people can enjoy benefits in the process of development, so that no one will oppose the policies of the imperial court, and no one will always think about rebellion and doing things. ”
Sun Xiangfu just laughed casually, but the eldest grandson Wuji's feeling was very deep, Sun Xiangfu was like this, step by step in the court controlled by the family, the various reforms promoted.
And he, just following Sun Xiangfu, saw the results, since the implementation of the new rural construction, the people's recognition of the imperial court has been greatly improved.
You know, Li Tang has only been founded for more than ten years, and even many regions, the time under Li Tang's rule is less than ten years, the contemporary young and strong groups, or most of the people in charge of the family, were born and raised in the Sui Dynasty, in the era of frequent dynasty changes, their sense of belonging to the country is not at all, at this time, it is very important for the people to have a centripetal force on a country, and now, this centripetal force is increasing, proving that everyone is more and more recognized by Li Tang's rule, when everyone is united, A country will not perish so quickly.
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! Presumably, the dog was also taught by Zhengming in Dingxiang, so he could grow so fast, but His Majesty praised him fiercely from the old man. Now, the prince is also staying in Shanyang to study politics, and Zhengming must teach carefully in the future! ”
Hearing this, Sun Xingfu replied politely, "Definitely, definitely." ”
As Li Chengqian's teacher, even if he is a music and politics teacher, in this era, he is also regarded as a person who is one with Li Chengqian's honor and disgrace, because the status of master and apprentice in this period is second only to the status of father and son, and it pays attention to the ranking of the prince and the teacher of heaven and earth.
And the people of their department, in the general direction, naturally take supporting Li Chengqian to the top as the ultimate goal, and in the small direction! Of course, it is also necessary to seek some benefits.
Sure enough, after the eldest grandson Wuji said these words, there was the following, after inviting Sun Xiangfu to drink a cup, the eldest grandson Wuji said again, "The old man had a banquet with several fellow villagers in Luoyang before, and I heard them mention during the banquet that there are more than 500,000 households in Luoyang, and nearly one million young and strong men and women. It's already far behind, even Yangzhou, which grows soybeans, is also slightly inferior, I don't know, Zhengming can have suggestions for the development of Luoyang? ”
As the leader of an interest group, only by constantly fighting for the interests of this interest group, can we get everyone's support, previously, the eldest grandson Wuji helped Luoyang's family representatives to win some shares of the Luoyang branch of Wangjianglou, and now, I want to lead them to catch up with this development car.
For things that are helpful to the people, Sun Xiangfu generally does not refuse, in fact, he expected that the eldest grandson Wuji would come to him early on, didn't he tell Xiao Yu before, Luoyang's new policy was implemented, but I was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would take care of it, so he already had a draft in his stomach.
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Xiangfu said with a smile, "Luoyang has the convenience of canals and is the transportation hub of the whole country, as long as the new policy is implemented and the right to liberate the people to enter and exit freely, they can do the transportation business from the south to the north, and this alone can bring the local economy to a new level."
Moreover, didn't you say just now, Luoyang has a population, population is a big advantage, our Chang'an future production of goods, but to rely on a large number of merchants, to sell them to all parts of the country, the formation of a down-line transit caravan, there is a lot of profit, in addition, in the sale of goods at the same time, some of the special resources around the centralized acquisition, and then bring back to Luoyang, do some characteristic industries, or export ······"
Economic development, circulation is the most important, and after the production capacity of Chang'an goes up in the future, how to make the goods produced by it better circulate is a problem that must be solved.
Although the population of Guanzhong has several million, but after all, it only accounts for about a quarter of the country, the industry wants to be bigger, then the market must be oriented to the whole country and even the world, Luoyang has some innate advantages that Chang'an does not have, that is, to do domestic demand, his geographical location is the turning point of the Grand Canal Tongji Canal and Guangji Canal, and the goods are transported from here to Hebei, Shandong, or to the south of the Yangtze River, which is very convenient.
The goods are convenient to enter and exit, and the business is naturally easy to do, including Sun Xiangfu himself, who is also chatting with the eldest grandson Wuji, and wants to put some domestic industries in Luoyang, because in Luoyang not only can quickly disperse the goods to the whole country, but also quickly get all kinds of raw materials produced in the country.
The reason why the Song Dynasty was so rich was that it set its capital in Bianzhou, which was next to the canal, which accelerated the flow of goods and the development of commerce throughout the country.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the canal had just been repaired, and the water traffic was much better than in the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, Guanzhong has not been overexploited now, and due to Sun Xiangfu's crossing, soil erosion prevention measures are already being strengthened, and the flooding of the Yellow River may not occur in the future.
There is no reason that in the case of so many conditions and bonuses, business will be inferior to the Song Dynasty, as long as the population grows slowly, it is entirely possible to surpass the economy of the Song Dynasty, that is an era when the annual tax revenue of a country exceeds 100 million guan, which is at least dozens of times stronger than the current Tang Dynasty.
