Emperor Qianwu nodded reassuringly.

Thinking of the performance of the Admiral of the Nine Gates in the past few days, Emperor Qianwu said with a smile: "Because of the existence of the Scientific Research Institute and your large and small factories, the population of the capital has increased by nearly 100,000 people. ”

In the past two years, Li Changfeng's industries have developed in the capital, and there are many workers in need, creating tens of thousands of jobs and attracting many people from the surrounding areas to work.

The increase in the floating population will naturally breed many public security problems, and it is normal for the pressure of the Nine Gate Admirals to increase.

This incident reminded Li Changfeng.

According to the current development of the industry under his command, more factories will be built and more people will be recruited to work in the capital, and it will be difficult to accommodate these people if the scale of the capital city does not expand.

The expansion of the capital has reached the point where it is imperative.

This is a super profitable project, Li Changfeng is still very experienced in this regard, and it is difficult to lose money if he directly copies his previous life.

Li Changfeng pondered his words and said, "Father, it's time to expand the capital." ”

"Expand the capital?"

The sudden mention of this matter caught Emperor Qianwu a little off guard.

Now there is indeed a need to expand the capital, but it is very involved, and Emperor Qianwu can't help but fall into contemplation.

Seeing this, Li Changfeng told the situation facing the capital and his thoughts.

After hearing this, Emperor Qianwu thought carefully for a while, nodded and said, "You are right, it is indeed time to expand the capital. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu sighed and looked helpless: "However, the expansion of the capital cost is huge, and although the treasury now has money, there are many places to use it, so I think this matter should be put on hold for the time being." ”

Li Changfeng smiled strangely: "Father, what are you kidding?" How much does it cost to expand the city? It's clearly a lucrative business, right? When this project is completed, the state treasury estimates that there will be at least 20 million taels of silver. ”

"How is this possible?"

Emperor Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief.

Intellectually speaking, this is impossible, how can it be possible to make money by expanding the city? It's obviously burning money.

If ordinary people had said that, he would have been beaten out of the way.

But when Li Changfeng said this, he had to take it seriously.

Li Changfeng knew that Emperor Qianwu was difficult to understand this business model, so he patiently explained.

"First of all, the land outside the capital belongs to the state, and the sons have to buy land from the state to expand the new city, right? Does the country want to make a profit when buying land? ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded: "If you do business, you really need silver to buy, of course, I can also give it to you, you don't need to spend a tael of silver......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Qianwu reacted and his eyes widened: "What do you mean...... What are you going to do about the expansion of the capital? ”

"Of course." Li Changfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Only by letting Erchen do it can you make money." ”

Emperor Qianwu still had some doubts: "I can't just believe you by listening to your words, you can tell me in detail how to make money." ”

"First of all, the roads in the new city will be paved with asphalt, the standard is higher than that of Baishi City, and professional domestic sewage drainage ditches will be built, and strive to make the environment of the new city surpass that of Baishi City and create a very good living environment."

Emperor Qianwu was very impressed by the environment of Baishi City, and now when he heard that Li Changfeng wanted to let Xincheng surpass Baishi City, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't help but have some expectations.

However, he also had a doubt: "What you are talking about is all about spending money, how can you make money?" ”

"Father, don't worry. With a good living environment, the next step is educational resources, and it is just taking this opportunity to build all the schools from the child to adulthood...... As for the faculty, let the research institute of the scientific research institute teach, and in the future, if you have achieved some success, you can also enter the children's industry, do you think people are willing to go? ”

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but nodded.

Although he is in the palace, he is always paying attention to the people's feelings.

Now in the whole world, except for the top magnates, who doesn't want to work for Li Changfeng?

Even many ministers said in private that it was better to work for Li Changfeng as an official in the imperial court, because their earnings were not as many as some skilled workers in the industries under Li Changfeng's command.

It's a fact.

Emperor Qianwu also felt very helpless about this.

But fortunately, no minister really resigned to work for Li Changfeng, after all, the status brought by being an official in the court is incomparable to those people.

However, Emperor Qianwu was still puzzled, the construction of the school was also spending money, how could it be sold for 20 million taels of silver just by selling land?

Li Changfeng continued.

"Once the road is built, it is natural that shops will be built on both sides of the road. By the way, I almost forgot to mention that Erchen also has to build a bigger hospital, so that Xincheng has the best employment opportunities, the best educational resources, and the best medical resources. If Erchen builds a house here, do you think anyone will buy it? ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded without hesitation: "Of course someone buys it." ”

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "That's right, you can collect taxes when you sell the house, isn't this silver?" The retainers also have to build shops on both sides of the road to sell, and they can also collect taxes, isn't this silver? If you do more business, you can also collect taxes, don't you make money? ”

Emperor Qianwu was a little puzzled: "You mean, all the houses are built by you?" ”

In the past, it was the land that was built by the person who built it, and there was never a precedent for such a thing to be built by one person.

Li Changfeng said of course: "The land was bought by Erchen, of course, it will be built by Erchen, Erchen plans to use reinforced concrete to cover, build at least six floors, unified planning and management, and sell it in high, medium and low grades." ”

At this time, Emperor Qianwu completely understood.

It's a lucrative business.

It can even be said that it is difficult not to make money, and just collecting taxes can enrich the treasury.

Emperor Qianwu was a very courageous emperor, and immediately said: "Okay, I have allowed this matter!" ”

After speaking, he pondered for a while and added: "But this matter still needs to be raised in the court for discussion, lest they keep saying that I am arbitrary, and tomorrow is the court meeting, and you come to the court to raise this matter." ”

"No, no." Li Changfeng didn't think about it, and directly shook his head and refused.

The early dynasty was too early, and he didn't like to fight with so many ministers.

Seeing that Emperor Qianwu's brows furrowed, Li Changfeng added: "Father, this matter is not troublesome at all, you directly told the ministers and ministers that the expansion of the capital not only does not need to spend the country's silver, but can also earn money for the country, what reason does the minister have to object?" ”

Emperor Qianwu thought seriously for a while and said, "It makes sense, then you don't need it." ”

After speaking, he glared at Li Changfeng fiercely: "It's so difficult for you to go to the court to learn how to govern the country?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Father, isn't there you?" Erchen should focus on the planning of the new city. ”
