Chapter 273: Enclosure to make money

And Yu Shi Ma Zhou set up a team on the same day, stationed in the Guozijian Reconstruction Project Department, and began to exercise supervision powers like a mad dog, so he wanted to seize Du He's handle in this way, and then go to Li Er to participate in a copy.

Lu Yuan informed Du He of the matter, but Du He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let him go, we Mingren don't do dark things, don't embezzle, don't bend the law, why be afraid of Ma Zhou and others, just do what you want, as long as he doesn't make trouble, love what's wrong." ”

"Okay, it's still the young master who is smart." Lu Yuan said slapstickly.

After the Guozijian reconstruction project was launched, Du He was not idle.

Because there are still more than 10,000 people who have nothing to do.

In order to solve the employment problem of more than 10,000 victims, we need to make further efforts.

Fortunately, in this era, all the work is done by manpower, and basically no machinery is used, so it is only a Guozijian project, and the number of workers required is very staggering. If excavators and forklifts are used on a large scale like later generations, then Duhe has no choice.

Du He locked himself in the room, and a few days later, he came up with two project design plans, and entered the palace early the next morning and handed them over to Li Er.

In the imperial study of Taiji Palace, after Li Er read the design plans of the two projects, he said with a confused face: "You actually want to build a house for the disaster victims?" ”

Du He nodded: "Your Majesty, according to the preliminary investigation, some of these victims came to Chang'an this time, that is, they moved their families here, not empty-handed, this part of the people, there is money in their hands, besides, so many people, when the work for relief ends, there must be some people who will not leave, when the time comes, will everyone live on the streets?" This resettlement house has several advantages, one is that the structure is not complicated, the construction cost is minimal, the second is to choose the site outside the city, as far as possible to reduce the cost of land prices, the third is to stabilize the people's hearts, so that the people of the world can see that His Majesty is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with the world in mind, not only to let the victims eat, but also to provide shelter for everyone, and the fourth is to create income, which can be generated through sales and leasing. What do you think, Your Majesty? ”

Li Er heard this, and couldn't help but nodded: "In this way, it's a good thing, but how much does it cost to build this resettlement house?" ”

Du He stretched out his right hand and spread five fingers: "At least 500,000 yuan!" ”

Hiss!

Rao is dignified emperor Li Er also gasped.

To rebuild the Guozijian, it cost 700,000 guan to make him cut a piece of meat, and this resettlement house still needs 500,000 guan, Li Er's first reaction in his heart was that I refused.

Li Er picked up another project design plan and said: "This people's avenue will cost 300,000 yuan, plus the resettlement house, at least 800,000 yuan, Du He, Du He, do you really think that my silver money is blowing in the wind?" That's all the people's taxes, is the people's hard-earned money, a few days ago, Lu Guogong escorted 300,000 pieces of grain and grass to the west for me, the war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty has begun, the silver money is bound to be shipped out in a steady stream, if all the silver money is used for work relief, what should the border pass be in an emergency? ”

Li Er rubbed his temples helplessly.

It is said that Du He is a good hand at making money, looking at Du He spending money, he is also a master, Datang has been established for so many years, if it is like this, I am afraid that it will be dragged down long ago.

Seeing Li Er's performance, Du He was not discouraged, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, which can not only save you money, but also build a resettlement house." ”

When Li Er heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said with great interest: "Tell me quickly, what is the solution?" ”

Du He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'll give you this money, how about it?" ”

Li Er was overjoyed at first, and then looked at Du He suspiciously: "You pay for me?" Would you be so kind? Don't say you Du He, that is, the Minister of Chinese Wu said that he wanted to give this money, and Shu categorically did not believe it, this is 800,000 guan money, not hundreds of thousands of words, everyone said that you Du He saw the money and opened his eyes, could it be that the rumors are false? ”

Du He sat opposite Li Er, crossed Erlang's legs, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you can be seen by the sun and the moon, the world and the world, not to mention money, it is my life, if you need it, I can contribute it at any time." ”

Li Er: "......"

He had heard too many similar words from Du He's mouth, and he didn't believe them much now.

It's just that Li Er couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Duhe's gourd for a long time, so he had to speak: "Okay, okay, what are you selling, hurry up, if you can really do this for you, I can make you a first-class duke, how about it?" ”

Du He stood up, took out a map of Chang'an City from his sleeve, put it on the table in front of Li Er, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't hide it, I have the heart to worry about the king, but I don't have so much money, so this matter can only be slowly figured out, I have a bold idea, that is, Your Majesty, you pay the money, I pay the money." ”

As he spoke, Du He picked up the brush and drew a circle in the southwest corner of Chang'an City.

Li Er took a closer look and saw that the six squares of Yonghe, Chang'an, Heping, Yongyang, Zhaoxing, and Guiyi in the southwest corner of Chang'an City had been divided.

This area is a famous slum in Chang'an City, with a sparse population and a very poor environment, and it is also the most notorious place in Chang'an City.

After this drought, a large number of victims gathered here, among them, Yonghefang had the largest gathering.

Li Er couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?" ”

Du He said: "Your Majesty, here, I have been concerned for a long time, our Chang'an City is now an international metropolis, but there is such a dirty and messy place, which has seriously affected the image of Chang'an City, so, please Your Majesty will give me this land, I will renovate, in the near future, here, there will be high-rise buildings rising from the ground, I want to build this place into the most prosperous area of Chang'an City, of course, in exchange, I will contribute money and people to build resettlement houses for Your Majesty, And how about transforming the section of road from Suzaku Gate to Mingde Gate into People's Avenue? ”

This kind of enclosure movement, which was famous in later generations, was a new thing in this era, and Li Er was confused when he heard it.

After a long time, Li Ercai said leisurely: "In other words, I will give you these six squares of land, and you will build the resettlement house for the victims and the people's avenue for me?" ”

"That's right! Your Majesty, of course, if Your Majesty is unwilling, then forget it, it's a big deal, this resettlement house and the People's Avenue will not be repaired. Du He said disappreciatively, he could get up and leave at any time.

Li Er thought for a while, and then slapped the table: "Okay, I will promise you, Yonghe, Chang'an, Peace, Yongyang, Zhaoxing, Guiyi, the land of Liufang, will belong to you, according to your credit, I should have opened a mansion for you a long time ago, but Keming has been refusing, so he put this matter aside, and now, since you need this land, I will give it to you." ”
