Chapter 1264 I want to abolish the prince
Designate a large area next to the palace to build villas. After the villas are repaired, part of them will be rewarded to the meritorious ministers of the clan. The rest will be sold, and the highest price will get it.
The resort is a rental fee.
As for the academy, it is also a supporting facility. Anyone who has bought a palace villa, or a palace sponsor, a raw material supplier, and the children of officials and powerful landlords in Yanzhou, Shandong, can come to study if they reach a certain level.
Academy is even attached to the Luoyang Guozijian, and at least it can be qualified as an official after completing its studies.
These are attractive places. After recruiting a large number of children of officials, gentry, and landlords, they will be charged for studying. Moreover, if thousands of students are recruited, the consumption level of these people will not be low, which can drive the market built here.
The street market built by the emperor can sell rental shops again.
In short, after such a set of operations, on the surface, the palace cost several million pennies, but in fact Li Shimin not only didn't spend the money, but made money.
Even because all the construction projects of the entire palace were paid for and hired, and even the emperor required a minimum wage standard, so that during the three years since the construction of the palace, people from prefectures and counties near Mount Tai came to work and earn money during their slack.
There is a request from the emperor, the wages are not low, and basically no one dares to default.
One more thing, such a big project has been worked on for three years. Countless people work and live here, eat, drink and scatter, which also drives local consumption. The pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by the nearby people can be sold for more money, but they are grown vegetables. Fish earn much more than in the past.
So in the past three years, almost every family in the neighborhood has increased their income a lot, and one year is the past few years.
In this case, which common people would object?
In the past, when Yang Guang went to the palace to dig canals, everyone ran away or even chopped off their hands and feet to escape. However, under the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty, the money has long been discounted and distributed to the fields.
People have no obligation to serve for free, because they have already paid.
And Li Shiminxiu's palace is not a court project in essence, but a royal project, so he pays for it out of his own pocket and draws money from internal funds.
It’s just that when I practiced the palace, I developed a few more real estate projects by the way, such as villa area, resort area, academy area, street area, etc., and the cost of enclosing the land was almost free, and there was no compensation for demolition and requisition. After all, it was originally encircled in the mountains. land, and there is no need to give local money.
Another one of Li Shimin's projects, through investment bidding, merchants come to do it, and they have to advance funds. Li Shimin sent a supervision team. The wages of craftsmen and peasants are paid by merchants, not Li Shimin. The food is ready for everyone, the house is good, and the wages are in place in time. Anyway, of course others pay for it with high standards and strict standards.
This set was started by Qin Lang many years ago when he was building the Daming Palace, and it has been matured and perfected for a long time, so Li Shimin's supervision team is also quite skilled.
The villas and shops are still under construction over there, and they are already on sale here with renderings.
No one buys? Don't worry at all.
Such a large palace is placed here, and the scenery of Mount Tai is good. If you have the opportunity to buy it, you will certainly not miss it. After all, this is an opportunity to be a neighbor with the emperor.
The relatives with high status are not short of money, and the merchants and powerful merchants with low status do not want to miss this kind of opportunity.
So Li Shimin was playing the empty-glove white wolf game. Over there, the developer advanced money to help him build it. Here he directly took the blueprints, pointed at the vacant land, and started selling money. As soon as the project started, Li Shimin was already earning a lot of money. The bowl is full.
In the past three years, regular inspection and acceptance of batch payments.
At the end of the project, Li Shimin was very satisfied, as were the contractors, the raw material suppliers, and even the craftsmen and migrant workers who did the work, as well as the people around here. Everyone made a lot of money. .
There is no such thing as forced conscription of civilians, harassment of nearby villagers, oppression of merchants, etc.
So this multi-million-dollar project has been in operation for three years, and it has become a well-known good governance, which not only stimulates domestic demand, but also promotes consumption and increases the income of the people.
Xinggong is still Xinggong, the way of repairing is different, and the effect is completely different. Yang Guang has built dozens of Xinggong, and the result is outrageous, which has been criticized to this day. As a result, not only did no one spray it, but it even won the approval of everyone.
In the final analysis, the model is still different. Instead of exhausting the people and harming the people, it is beneficial to the people and business.
In recent years, among other things, there are dozens of academies in various palaces under the name of Guozijian. Except for the children of noble officials, Li Shimin has relaxed the enrollment ratio, and those with money in the local area can enter.
Tuition fees are high, but those who are willing to come in to study are still squeezed out. After all, these palace academies are called Xinggong Guozijian, and they are good opportunities for those small nobles who are not eligible to enter the two capitals and local powerful merchants.
After all, compared with prefectural and county schools, the supporting facilities of these Xinggong academies are not bad, especially given some preferential treatment in policy, such as the qualification to be an official after graduation, and even excellent ones can be sent to the two capitals of the Imperial Academy. Even directly appoint officials and so on.
In recent years, Li Shimin has gained a lot from doing this, so every practice palace, next to famous mountains, great rivers and good mountains and rivers, must be enclosed for development.
Earn a lot of money.
Lao Li can be called the strongest real estate developer in this era, with unique advantages, he has managed the Royal Palace very well, and the brand effect is very good.
Old Li can earn several million yuan every year just by engaging in real estate development. In addition, the royal family has also started to start with some architectural design, construction and even raw material supply in recent years, so Lao Li is very active in this now.
Qin Lang is well aware of this set, after all, he is the instigator, Men Qing.
I don’t have any objections to this, but I think this kind of thing is really better. Anyway, not all the money was used to build the palace, and the academies and commercial streets are also good for the local government and the court.
The imperial government’s fiscal revenue is so high, but the imperial court also understands that the money cannot be rotted in the treasury, so when the imperial court makes a budget every year, it will think about how to spend the money, take it from the people, and use it for the people. Only money is in the society. Circulation is healthy.
Otherwise, various problems will arise, but how to spend these financial revenues is also a test of the level. After all, the money is too much, and if it is used in the wrong direction, there will be big problems.
In recent years, the imperial court has spent a lot of money to control many basic livelihood items, such as grain and cloth, and the protection price of grain has been increased year by year, just to avoid hurting farmers due to cheap grain.
Essentially speaking, if the price of the most basic and largest commodities such as food and cloth is too low, it will affect the economic development of the entire society. How to maintain it in line with the overall situation of the society is a test of the level of managers.
So in recent years, the imperial court has increased the purchase price of grain year by year through the transshipment department and Changping warehouse, and the red line has been continuously raised.
It is precisely because of the control of the transshipment company that the prices of these basic commodities such as grain, cloth and salt are stabilized, so that the overall price of the entire society is relatively stable.
However, in today's mercantile policy, the price of agricultural products has always been relatively low, which has led to the fact that the income of farmers is actually inferior to that of other businessmen and craftsmen.
Especially under the stimulation of the thriving maritime trade and the huge domestic consumer market, even if you work in a factory or set up a stall in the city, your income is far higher than the output of the field.
Although the prices of food, cloth, etc. are stable, they have not fluctuated much. Ten renminbi per bucket of rice can earn at most two or three hundred renminbi per mu of land. , Even with a little bit of skill, or hard work, etc., you can earn hundreds of dollars a day.
Based on such a comparison, farmers are actually being cut leeks under this pro-business policy.
So in recent years, the imperial court has also encouraged the people to do some sideline jobs, to work in cities during the slack season, or to have their young children become industrial workers, etc., in order to increase farmers’ income, and also to encourage the people to develop family farming.
Otherwise, the income cannot keep up with the overall development by farming alone.
Not to mention that those merchants can earn more profits through selling.
The current policy of the imperial court has begun to rely mainly on farmers to collect taxes from the land in the past to obtain finances, and is gradually changing how to protect and increase farmers’ income, because farmers are the basic market and the foundation of national stability.
As the industry and commerce become rich, they must also ensure that farmers can keep up.
"Do you think Cheng Qian will be a good emperor?"
The emperor suddenly asked.
Qin Lang looked around, and found that at some point, only the monarch, minister and father were left on the island in the lake, and the other servants and courtiers had all withdrawn to the boat in the lake, far away from each other.
"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lofty aspirations and great ambitions. Over the years, under His Majesty's care, he has supervised the country's regent and handled state affairs very well. In the future, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty will surely be able to inherit the prosperity of Zhenguan."
Li Shimin just shook his head.
"You know, I've been thinking about one thing these days. I want to abolish Chengqian's position and establish a new crown prince."
Qin Lang was shocked.
Since Li Shimin said that he was going to die, why did he want to abolish Prince Yi Chu when he was dying? Is this stupid and crazy?
"Does the sage think that the fourth prince is more suitable to be the crown prince?"
In the end, Li Shimin shook his head, "If I abolish the succession to Qian, Li Tai will not be established."
Now Qin Lang was even more confused.
"I have thought about Li Zhi, the ninth son of the emperor."
"Why?"
Qin Lang really couldn't figure it out. At this time, you said you want to change reserves? A few years ago, Chengqian was indeed rebellious. At that time, you gritted your teeth and stomped your feet, and changed as soon as you changed. But now that you want to change reserves at this time, aren't you afraid of a Xuanwumen change?
After all, Li Shimin personally cut off all the ministers in the court who opposed him as the prince for Li Chengqian these years.
Not to mention Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, but Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Gao Jifu, Zhang Xingcheng, these are all from the Eastern Palace.
It's all come to this point, it's hard to turn around.
Especially the emperor's health is failing, it's too late now.
"Your Majesty, please be careful for Datang."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh.
"Don't I know that it's too late for Yi Chu at this time, but I didn't expect this to happen. I really don't feel at ease in handing over Datang Jiangshan to Cheng Qian, a rebellious son."
Nizi has spoken out.
Qin Lang guessed that the matter was really serious, but he didn't know what Cheng Qian could do to make Li Shimin angry.
He has not been in the court for several years, and he doesn't know much about the situation in the court. He didn't know what happened for a while.
After a while of silence.
Li Shimin took the initiative to tell the secret.
"I let Chengqian supervise the country these years, and watched with cold eyes, but I know more about Chengqian's behavior. I think Chengqian has the possibility of becoming a tyrant."
