Chapter 379: The Blowout of the Tang Dynasty (I)
Qin Hao naturally read the Dream of Red Mansions in his last life, why can the Rongguo Mansion be exquisite and luxurious to that extent, and Lao Tzu, the Rongguo Mansion, has only about 30 servants in the family? So he was unbalanced, he got angry, and he had to improve his living conditions in an all-round and three-dimensional way.
But if you ask him to really figure out what kind of three-dimensional method, he really can't think of it, money can be regarded as infinite for him at least in the field of consumption, anyway, he has never considered how much money he has, anyway, he knows how to spend it and can't spend it all, but he has endless money, but he doesn't know how to spend it.
It's not that he hasn't thought about buying a house and buying a land, if he wants to, it won't be a problem to buy a house the size of the Grand View Garden in Chang'an, but their family has a small population, and the main ones are him and Li Xin, plus Fluttershy is only three, and now their family is not full, isn't the entire Grand View Garden a haunted house?
As for increasing the number of subordinates, it is even more nonsense, more than 30 people serve the two of them, this is almost the limit, you can't match the subordinates who serve them with the next people, then it's not called spending money, it's called panicking.
So Qin Hao decided that he would build a children's paradise for the soon-to-be-born baby in his home.
Therefore, since the end of the war in Goguryeo, Qin Hao can be said to have ignored what was going on outside the window, and only did carpenter work, and he was stunned that he had not left the house for more than half a month.
Xu Jie and Su Dingfang also moved away some time ago, so their family's Sanjin Courtyard is almost two empty courtyards, Qin Hao's local tyrant urine sex came up, and he was actually stunned to pick them all up, and used them to build a garden, seeing that Li Xintang was stunned, and his heart trembled.
Except for a large pool that changes the water once a day, the rest of the place is secretly reserved for the baby son.
Like slides, swings or something, these must be a must for traversers, this thing also invented a cartoon children's castle and a water park, the kind built by pure handmade carpenters, and the places that originally needed to be driven by electricity were all replaced with artificial gear structures, one word, Howe.
It is said that the cost of a water park can almost buy a set of three-entry yards of the same size in Chang'an, and once this thing is in operation, the maintenance cost of just one day is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for forty years.
For such a thing, he was stunned to invite more than 200 of the top carpenters in the whole Tang Dynasty, and ate and lived in their house every day to make this thing for him.
Of course, more than 200 masters must be a bit wasteful to do such a thing, this thing is actually more of a manual work, and Qin Hao can do it alone, so in order not to waste the unit time of outstanding talents, Qin Hao also let them design another thing by the way: a textile machine.
The promotion of cotton has been more than two years, and there are almost a few tons of cotton harvested this year, and after planting all these seeds, Datang's cotton can almost be regarded as a city scale, and the people of Datang can almost buy a quilt or a cotton coat in winter.
The output of this thing is so large, and then use a spinning needle to hook cotton thread, in Qin Hao's opinion, this is a very stupid thing, a female worker who spun cotton thread without eating or drinking all day can not make a few catties of cotton thread, let alone cotton yarn.
So piggyback, Qin Hao also got this thing, but everyone misunderstood what Qin Hao meant, those masters thought that Qin Hao was covering up with the children's park, and the textile machine was the main goal, and he really deserved to be a good prince of the Tang Dynasty for the country and the people.
It is precisely because of this that Li Tai and Li Yuan came to him seven or eight times, but he didn't have a bird, and the court didn't blame him, they all thought that he was busy with more important things, but he didn't know that this guy was purely because he was lazy, and he was purely comfortable with this machine.
After the Goguryeo war was over, every soldier snatched back a few sacks of general coupons from Goguryeo, and finally deposited them in the Tang Federal Reserve, and the amount of banknotes on the market suddenly rose a lot.
Although they still barely managed to maintain the conversion between the general coupon and the Kaiyuan Tongbao, but inflation is always inevitable, the most typical example is that no one spends copper money, because the current price of copper is far more than the price of copper money, and it is inevitable that there will be some public resentment for a while.
Qin Hao knew with his toes that Li Yuan and Li Tai must be looking for him for this, this kind of work was the most tiring, he didn't want to mix it up at all, it was nothing more than raising the deposit interest rate and loan interest rate, and he didn't need any other means at all.
Even Qin Hao felt that even if Li Yuan and the others didn't do anything, this phenomenon would disappear without a trace for Datang in a year or two at most.
Because, Datang has now entered an era of material blowout.
As we all know, inflation is nothing more than more money and less goods, and according to common sense, the growth rate of the gross domestic product of feudal society is very slow, and almost all of it depends on the output of land.
But Datang is blowing out now, and it is the kind that sprays very strongly, all kinds of material resources are extremely rich, and it has led to the rapid development of the economy, so that Qin Hao is a little dumbfounded after coming back from the war and going around Chang'an.
The reason for the blowout is actually simple, it's just a big voyage.
When the first ship of the Qingbang sailor was launched, he went to Southeast Asia and brought back Champa rice from there, which alone was enough to more than triple the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, which is not an exaggeration.
Because of the Zhancheng rice, Jiangnan and Lianghuai have become the land of fish and rice, based on rice fields, there will be rice fields for fish farming, there will be mulberry fields, there will be mountains to scrape paint and go down the river to catch shrimp, the Jiangnan region has become an economic center, and the total economy not only exceeds the north but leads more than three times.
Qin Hao even felt that it wouldn't be long before Yangzhou City became more prosperous than Chang'an.
In addition to Zhancheng rice, Datang also introduced a large amount of sugarcane, as well as Qin Hao's cotton that had long been popularized, so that it could extend the two large industries of sugar and textiles.
The Tang people are much smarter than Qin Hao imagined, and they thought that many things needed his guidance to get on track to form a scale, but in fact, it was really not, he was stunned when he ate the sugar cake that day, and it turned out that there were already dozens of sugar workshops in Yangzhou, and it took less than two months for the Tang people to learn to make the most basic brown sugar from seeing sugar cane.
Of course, sugar is still a super-high-end food that only nobles like him can afford for the time being.
So Qin Hao, the old yin, came up with a very insidious way to make white sugar and ate it secretly, planning to wait for two years for brown sugar to enter the lives of ordinary people before introducing this thing to the market, specializing in aristocratic business.
