Chapter 22 Preliminary Planning of the Grand Canal

Although Yang Lihua is a woman, she chats at home, drinks tea, and socializes with the noblewomen of the capital, but her vision is always very unique, and her sense of smell is very keen.

The last time the house was sold, Yang Guang later found that nearly 1/3 was in Yang Lihua's hands, which was discovered when she was drunk and talking nonsense in front of Xiao Menglan.

Speculation is conducive to improving the housing market, but there is a big problem, that is, she accounts for too much of the proportion, which will make the housing market circulation not smooth, and the rental of the housing market in Dasui is not popular, if the vacancy rate is high, it will outweigh the losses.

Yang Lihua came to make trouble was also the situation he expected, only to see the beautiful sharp eldest sister strode in, and saw that Li Yuan was also reined in the noisy appearance outside, and put away his arrogance, when there were outsiders, Yang Lihua still knew to save face for Yang Guang.

Sitting down in the hall angrily: "Amo, why don't you allow me to buy a house in Daxing City, I ordered someone to go to the real estate market today, and actually said that I wouldn't be allowed to buy it?" ”

Yang Guang looked helpless: "Eldest sister, it's not that you won't be allowed to buy it, it's that you bought too much, what are you doing when you buy so much?" ”

"Lots of money."

"Grace ............"

Yang Guang was speechless for a while, and this reason was simple and impeccable.

Xiao Menglan gave Yang Guang a help: "Eldest sister, if you buy so many houses, what if the price does not increase in the future but decreases in the future?" ”

"No way, there will be no price reduction."

"Why are you so sure?"

"The court won't let it."

Some people can always clear the fog and see the essence, less hesitation and hesitation of ordinary people, simple ideas but often very efficient and correct.

With this vision, she doesn't make money who makes money.

But Yang Guang still had to stop it, so he said: "Eldest sister, the Ice Cutting House doesn't raise cattle and sheep, and there is no shortage of money, I always think about what to do with these, what I sell now is still a mid-to-high-end Fang District, you buy it, you buy it, you take all those low-grade Fang Districts with a wave of your hand, where do the people live?" ”

"I can rent the house to them, half rent and half buy, I can definitely make money, the population of Daxing City in the future will definitely double compared to now, as long as there are more people, the housing demand will be high, whether it is buying and selling or renting, it is definitely profitable, I do not lack money, but I wake up every day and think about making money again I feel extremely comfortable."

Yang Guang sighed that his eldest sister is really a business talent, this brain can't be kept up with by ordinary people, and she does what she says, and her execution is very strong.

smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, you can't mess up the market order just because you personally feel comfortable, there will be a lot of trouble in the future if the real estate circulation is not smooth." ”

"But if I don't buy or sell the house now, I won't have much fun, you can help me find a new one."

Yang Guangyi thought about it and said, "Eldest sister, are you familiar with Luoyang?" ”

"Familiar, what's wrong?"

"Luoyang City is rich, because of its geographical location, the development situation has been getting better and better in recent years, and now my father has ordered to rebuild the official road between Chang'an and Luoyang, and the official road will definitely become busier and busier after widening, since the eldest sister just wants to find time to have a pastime, it is better to go to Luoyang to see."

"What's there to see in Luoyang, go to Luoyang to buy and sell real estate? How can there be fun in Daxing City, the house is not yet, the convenient person is to take the title deed and take the money to finish, if someone lives in it, there will be more troubles. ”

She can still easily see through the essence of things, and this trait makes Yang Guang feel that her eldest sister is very human.

"Naturally, I didn't let the eldest sister buy and sell real estate, but did the eldest sister know that my father gave me a task?"

"Task? What task? ”

"My father ordered me to supervise the construction and development of warships, and now I can't take a break for the time being, if the eldest sister is free, I want the eldest sister to help me go to Luoyang and find a place to build a warship."

Yang Lihua was obviously not very interested.

Yang Guang said: "You don't need to do anything with the eldest sister, just go to Luoyang with great fanfare, take a trip around Luoyang, look at the mountains and play in the water, take a look at where the inland river channel is more spacious, the water is deeper, and it is close to Luoyang City, just play for two or three months and come back and tell me." ”

"That's it?"

"Oh, by the way, there's another important thing I forgot to mention."

"What?"

"Public money."

"Then it seems that the eldest sister must share this burden with you, I am afraid that this trip will be dangerous, and I have to find one or two hundred people to follow."

Eating, drinking and having fun with public funds is not as fun as flipping a house at home, although Yang Lihua has a keen sense of business, but she actually doesn't like this kind of thing, she is not short of money, she is not short of time, she is bored and panicked, and flipping houses is novel and fun.

Yang Guang responded to her request in one bite, Yang Lihua's keen feeling was the point he liked, and he didn't have time to do this for the time being, so he could only let Yang Lihua do it for him.

Yang Lihua happily took over the job, although Yang Guang said that it was two months, but it is estimated that Yang Lihua can play for a long time.

Li Yuan listened on the sidelines and asked curiously: "Your Highness, I have something I don't understand. ”

"What?"

"Why does His Highness want to build a warship in Luoyang, if you want to build a warship, I am afraid that the use of the Great Sui is only to attack Nanchen, and if you build a warship in Luoyang, the warship will have to cross the river and then enter the sea before it can bypass and attack Nanchen, so it is not bothersome and laborious, it is better to put it in the east by the sea."

Yang Guang nodded: "I have thought about your idea, it is indeed much more convenient to put it in the east near the sea, but there are other considerations in Luoyang, because to build warships, it is also necessary to build merchant ships." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang ordered someone to bring the map, and there was always a large map nearly two meters high supported by a shelf in his home, on which was the entire Central Plains, including the land of Nanchen.

Li Yuan continued to be puzzled and said: "Your Highness said that the merchant ship wants to prosper the river transport trade? ”

"Yes."

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon."

"If only you had something to say."

Li Yuan then walked to the map and said: "If Your Highness uses water to transport Luoyang and Chang'an, although it is convenient, but now that the official road has been repaired, the change is not big." ”

"Who told you that I want to start water trade between Chang'an City and Luoyang City?"

"Huh? Isn't it? , but the ships built in Luoyang have no other waterway to go except this."

Li Yuan looked at Yang Guang suspiciously, and Yang Lihua was also very puzzled.

"It's just that there are no waterways now, just because there won't be one in the future."

Yang Guang took out a brush and drew a line on the huge map, which was from Chang'an to Tongguan into the Yellow River, and then wrote the name [Guangtong Canal].

"The size of Weishui is impermanent, the flow is shallow and the sand is deep, often blocking the Cao Yun, if the canal is opened here, the Weishui is diverted from the northwest of Daxing City, slightly following the old road of the Cao Canal of the Han Dynasty and the east, to Tongguan into the Yellow River, this section of the land can be solved with water, and the people are rich and convenient."

Yang Guang's words made Li Yuan understand that he was going to dig a canal, and these more than 300 miles were a big project, but if they could really be excavated, it would not only be convenient for transportation, but also for the benefit of the people.

In recent years, the surrounding land has been seriously depleted, and the water and grass will naturally be abundant where the channel can pass.

"Your Highness, it is not a trivial matter to dig an artificial canal."

"It's not a trivial matter, but what I want to do can definitely be done."

Yang Guang's attitude towards his absolute confidence made Li Yuan can't help but look up at this prince who is younger than himself, why is he so confident.

But Li Yuan's shock was not over, and Yang Guang picked up the pen again and drew a longer line on the map.

From Zhuo County in the north, to Luoyang in the south, and the name is written, Yongji Canal.

"Your Highness, this ......"

With a stroke of Yang Guang's brush, Li Yuan understood that this long line was the same as the Guangtong Canal drawn by Yang Guang before, which was also a river that would be dug artificially in the future, but it was also too long and the span was too large, and the difficulty of such a river was unimaginable.

Yang Guang continued to say confidently: "From the north to the city of Youzhou in Zhuo County, across the Haihe River, across the fertile plains, to Luoyang City, once this river is opened, the military supplies needed by our Great Sui army to play the northeast front can be reached through this river, the speed is fast, and convenient, and the materials on the fertile plains can also be fully utilized." ”

Listening to Yang Guang's narration, it seems that he is not talking about future planning, but about things that will be realized, as if he is sure that everything is in front of him, if he doesn't know Yang Guang, he now has to feel that Yang Guang is bragging, and it is a big bull, not a boundary cowhide.

But he is familiar with Yang Guang, and Yang Guang is definitely not a person who brags and does not do practical things.

"Your Highness, the Yongji Canal you planned is too long, if you really want to build it, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent, I'm afraid it will ......."

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't say today that it would be built tomorrow, and if he built it for ten or twenty years, it will definitely be built with some other methods."

"His Highness's far-reaching planning is really shocking."

Li Yuan appreciated from the bottom of his heart, he was a capable and beautiful person, he couldn't look down on those wine bags and rice bags, but Yang Guang's status was getting higher and higher in his eyes, and it was difficult to restrain himself from admiring a person from the bottom of his heart.

"When the road is opened, whether it is by land or by water, it will prosper, and the waterway has a greater advantage than the land road, that is, it can supply agriculture along the way."

"Your Highness is thoughtful, if the canal can really be opened, the troubles of Goguryeo in the northeast and the Turks in the north can be alleviated a lot."

Yang Guang smiled with satisfaction, and then drew a line again in Li Yuan's shocked eyes, starting from Luoyang in the north and reaching Yuhang in the south.

"This ...... This ......"

Li Yuan was speechless for a while, what kind of plan is this? Yang Guang wanted it to be not just that simple, before Yang Guang and Li Yuan said the planning of the four major cities, looking at the map that drew the canal and the river, if this canal also became, then look at the Central Plains, with Luoyang as the core, the north and south canals.

His Royal Highness in front of him has already set his sights on the world.
