Chapter 421 Preparations for the opening of the Changsheng Line
Datang is still prohibited from buying and selling fields on the surface.
But in fact, the secret sale of land has been repeatedly prohibited.
The people are poor, and when they encounter incidents like red and white things, they are sick or something, and they urgently need money, so they can't take out the money, so they can only borrow money from the temple of the Haoqiang family.
Borrowing money requires collateral, and the most valuable collateral in the hands of ordinary people is only their own Yongye Tian.
】
When the interest rate on the borrowed money was high, Yongyetian became a powerful family.
After that, I began to have the idea of dividing the field.
As long as you are willing to find a way, you will be able to turn the mouth into Yongye Field after all, and then fall into the hands of the Haoqiang family temple through loans.
In a few years in history, even the fact that the land on the surface is not for sale will be completely abolished.
As the population increased, there was no longer any land to be divided, and the contradictions quickly intensified. During the Li Longji period, with the land annexation in full swing, the people who lost their fields continued to flee, which led to the outbreak of contradictions, which contributed to the Anshi Rebellion.
Because too many people died during the Anshi Rebellion, many fields were vacated, but it reduced the contradictions caused by land annexation in disguise, and extended the life of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years.
Li Yunze has always been puzzled about one thing, why he didn't transfer the contradiction outward when there was a contradiction, but desperately put his own head on the head.
The world is so big, why do you keep staring at this acre and three points of land and not letting go.
If it is difficult to go out and have transportation, Li Yunze is willing to provide a large railway ship.
If it is said that the combat effectiveness is insufficient, he can provide sophisticated equipment and weapons.
To say that food supplies are not enough, he can give advanced tools, seeds, pesticides, and so on.
If you want to say that the money is not enough, then you should engage in a money bank to collect the wealth of the world and concentrate on doing things.
The world is so big, why can't it go out for thousands of years!
Li Er, who had already made up his mind, quickly drove everyone out.
In the end, when there was only face-to-face left, Li Er sat opposite each other very formally, "The matter of the money village, please teach me sir." ”
"First of all, the money bank cannot be subordinated to the household department. His Majesty should know very well what the officials of the DPRK and China look like. At that time, all the goods of the money village went into the hands of the officials, and when the people rebelled, they all came to destroy the royal family. ”
Li Yunze's words made Li Er nod silently.
He understands this matter very clearly.
As the saying goes, thousands of miles of officials are only for that, at least Li Er will not have much hope for the civil and military under his command.
"Since Your Majesty wants to be the creditor of all the people in the world." Li Yunze said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty will lead it directly." The Tang Dynasty civil, military, and noble people will all be corrupted, but His Majesty will not. Theoretically, it is His Majesty's own. If you really want Datang to be good, only Your Majesty is it
。 ”
Li Er immediately bowed his head, "That's exactly the case." ”
In the era of the world, the only one who can really think about the world is the emperor.
Except, of course, the faint king.
"I don't understand the operation of the money bank." Li Er quickly stated: "All relevant matters will be arranged by Mr. for disposal." What is the need, albeit blunt. ”
"We must borrow Your Majesty's reputation and reputation to vouch for the money bank."
"Yes."
"It is necessary to use the power of the imperial court to establish branches in all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction to be responsible for local business. The corresponding personnel recruitment and training, and the relevant positions and treatments must be contributed by His Majesty. ”
"Yes."
"After the establishment of the bank, there will inevitably be countless people reaching out to the bank. Your Majesty needs to suppress it strongly, otherwise the consequences of the collapse of credibility will not be borne by Datang and Your Majesty. ”
"Yes."
"Qian Zhuang will absorb savings first, and when the time is ripe, he will gradually start borrowing X. This move must offend the powerful gate lords and the important ministers of the temple. When the time comes, all kinds of means will come to you, does Your Majesty have the determination to use force to kill countless people, but also to maintain it? ”
This time, Li Er fell into silence and sat there thinking for a long time.
Li Yunze did not urge, but waited quietly, he was not worried that Li Er would give up at all.
The king of the shoucheng may not dare to take responsibility, and the faint king may only want benefits, and if something happens, he is ready to find someone to take the blame, or even simply forget that the faint king will die in the country.
But Li Er and other emperors on horses are different, they have experienced the baptism of war, and they have the courage and courage to do things.
What a powerful family, what a noble temple.
If you really turn your face completely, you will be slaughtered, so what?
After a long time, Li Er finally spoke, "This matter is very good. ”
"That's good."
Li Yunze spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, remember, once you absorb their money from the people, the money bank will be tied to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, no matter what excuse or reason is used, as long as it harms the interests of the people, it will be settled
The fruit is all the same. ”
"Surely you will die!"
If one day Qian Zhuang really absorbs most of the wealth of the people in the world, and then encounters a faint monarch and traitor or something, he will give Huo Huo or something.
That is not to say, the end of Datang must be doomed.
The people who have lost their wealth will not pay attention to any excuses or reasons, they just need to get their wealth back.
If not, the people will pick up wooden sticks and dung forks, hold kitchen knives and bricks to fight for themselves, and the end of Datang is naturally doomed.
Li Er was able to see these clearly.
Although he knows that the risks are very high, the temptation to become a creditor to the people of the world is even greater.
This is a double-edged sword, the good is earth-shattering, and the bad is devastating.
Li Er believes that he can grasp it, but...
After returning to the palace, the first thing Li Er did was to "call the crown prince to me!"
! ”
Naturally, the affairs of Qianzhuang cannot be done in a day or two, and it is estimated that it will not be able to start in a year or two, and all preparations are being made.
But the few major things that the imperial court is urgently doing are still in urgent need of money and goods to push it on.
In this case, after getting Li Er's consent, Du Ruhui, the head of the household department, borrowed a large sum of money from him with the income of the Tang Dynasty as collateral.
Most of this money went back to Li Yunze's hands, and a large amount of materials were bought from him.
Massive jerky cheese, numerous military uniforms, thousands of four-wheeled carriages, countless pasture bean cake oil, brand-new armor and stomach weapons, and so on.
In addition to these materials, there is also a part of the money used to pay for the expansion of the Daming Palace.
Li Yunze's expansion plan, Li Er liked it very much.
When the emperor was fine, he would go to the side hall where the model of the building was placed for a long time.
After the autumn harvest, the Tang army finally drew troops and marched west from Guanzhong.
The Tang army of 70,000 or 80,000, plus the people of the times, is known as the army of 400,000, which really scared Tuyuhun.
Li Yunze didn't pay too much attention to the things on the battlefield.
In his opinion, there were famous generals such as Li Jinghou Junji, commanding the Tang army, which had sufficient logistical supplies, was well-trained, well-equipped, and had high morale, to fight a group of nomadic tribes.
In the words of the sage, 'the Don army does not ask how many enemies there are, only where they are.' ’
Winning is a routine operation, and losing is big news.
In fact, when the envoy who came to Tuyuhun to beg for mercy saw the Tang army's military columns with distinct stomachs, the massive supplies of materials, and countless military resources such as dried meat, cheese, salt, sugar, cotton, clothing, horses, carts, and even iron pots, he immediately cried and cried
Get up.
None of their khans can live such a good life!
After the Tang army set out on the expedition, another piece of news quickly attracted everyone's attention.
The Changsheng Railway, which lasted two years, consumed countless materials, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to serve as conscripts, was completed and opened to traffic.
When the train departing from Shengzhou and loaded with the grain handed over by various states and counties along the way this year arrived outside Chang'an City, the entire Chang'an City was in a sensation.
As many as millions of catties of grain, it took only a few days to send all the way from Shengzhou to Chang'an City.
Such a terrifying efficiency, such a terrifying carrying capacity, such a terrifying speed directly subverted the inherent thoughts of almost all people.
The steel giant beast that spews smoke and dust has brought Datang into a new era.
"Build, build big!"
When Li Er personally got on the train and took two days to arrive at Shengzhou, which was more than a thousand miles away, from Chang'an City, to the bank of the Yellow River to see the Yinshan Mountain on the other side, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to go on the road and lay the railway to every part of the entire Tang Dynasty
A corner.
Du Ruhui, who came with him, immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him, "No money." ”
Things may be bought from Li Yunze, but Li Yunze is not a money-scattering boy, he also has to collect money.
But Datang's current financial situation... Not to mention that the railway is spread all over the world, even if it is to build a railway line from Chang'an City to Lanzhou, it will not be able to come up with the money.
"I don't care."
Li Er shook the pot very simply, "I only need the railway, how to do it is a matter of waiting." ”
'Hehe~~~'
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, and the two prime ministers were shouting at the same time in their hearts, 'MMP!' ’
Li Er crossed the river and went to the grassland, and received the leaders of various tribes as the Heavenly Khan.
Fang Xuanling and others took the train from Shengzhou to Chang'an City, and returned all the way to 'go shopping and eating'.
Except for their cars, all the other carriages on the road were full. People and things crowded all the carriages, and the noise was endless.
"From Shengzhou to Chang'an City, a single person costs one hundred and fifty Wen. Most of them were merchants who received goods from the grasslands. If you bring goods, the price is calculated separately. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji, who is very concerned about the railway, simply said, "But if it is a short distance, the fare is much cheaper, and the cheapest one can run hundreds and ten miles for only ten yuan." ”
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask, "How many people can you pull at one time?" ”
"You have to have 2,000 people to start." The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said, "I heard Zihou say that the average ticket price can almost reach the level of one hundred people, which means that one trip will be at least 200 yuan." ”
'Hiss~~~'
Fang Xuanling and the others were suddenly amazed, a good house in Chang'an City was only a thousand children and eight hundred times.
"And." The eldest grandson Wuji's words were not finished, "You can send it at least several times a day, and you still send it on both sides." Not to mention anything else, it is easy to get thousands of accounts a day. And that's not even counting the price of the shipment, which is more expensive. Before that, the imperial court transported autumn grain from all over the country
How much did it cost to enter Chang'an City? ”
"Three thousand." Du Ruhui, who was sitting on the wooden chair, smiled bitterly again and again: "This is still the friendship price given by Zihou." ”
"Just think he's netting 2,000 a day." Fang Xuanling quickly calculated, "A year down... 700,000?! ”
"Twenty years, he wants to earn like this for twenty years." Du Ruhui, who was leaning on the chair, his hands were trembling, "More than 10 million!" How much is the income of the entire imperial court! When he wanted 20 years of revenue, why didn't you stop it! ”
This is so unreasonable, if it really stops people, they won't make any effort to build it.
The eldest grandson Wuji said slowly, "The line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City is about to start, Zihou said clearly, this is a line that lies down to make money, and its income is at least several times that of the Changsheng line!" ”
