The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 421 Preparations and Opening of Changsheng Line
Datang still prohibits the sale and purchase of land on the surface.

But in fact, the secret sale of fields has been repeatedly prohibited.

The common people are poor, and they urgently need money when encountering troubles such as weddings, funerals, and illnesses. If they can't afford money, they can only borrow money from powerful families and temples.

Borrowing money requires collateral, and the most valuable collateral in the hands of ordinary people is their own Yongyetian.

When the interest rate on borrowing money is not high enough, Yongyetian becomes a powerful family.

Later, the idea of ​​dividing the fields began.

As long as you are willing to think of a way, you will eventually be able to turn the Koufen land into Yongye land, and then fall into the hands of the powerful family and temple through borrowing.

In a few years in history, even the untradable land on the surface will be completely cancelled.

With the increase in population, there is no more land to divide, and the contradictions intensify rapidly.In Li Longji's period, as land annexation was in full swing, people who had lost their fields continued to flee, causing conflicts to erupt, which led to the Anshi Rebellion.

Because too many people died during the Anshi Rebellion, a lot of fields were vacated, which actually reduced the contradictions caused by land annexation in disguise, and continued the life of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years.

Li Yunze has always been puzzled about one thing, why he doesn't transfer the conflict outward when there is a conflict, but desperately puts his hands on his own head.

The world is so big, why do you keep staring at this three-acre land and don't let go.

If it is difficult to travel outside, Li Yunze is willing to provide a large railway ship.

To say that the combat power is insufficient, he can provide excellent equipment and weapons.

If there is not enough food and materials, he can give advanced tools, seeds, pesticides and so on.

If money is not enough, then set up a bank to collect the wealth of the world and concentrate on doing things.

The world is so big, why can't we go out for thousands of years!

Li Er, who had made up his mind, quickly drove everyone out.

In the end, when only face-to-face was left, Li Er sat opposite each other very formally, "Please teach me about the bank."

"First of all, the Qianzhuang cannot be classified under the Ministry of Household Affairs. Your Majesty should be very clear about what the officials in the court look like. At that time, all the wealth in the Qianzhuang will be in the hands of the officials. When the people rebel, they will all rush to destroy the royal family. here."

Li Yunze's words made Li Er nod silently.

He is very clear about this matter.

As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for that, at least Li Er will not have much hope for his civil and military men.

"Since Your Majesty is going to be the creditor of the whole world." Li Yunze said with a smile, "Then His Majesty will take it directly. All the civil and military nobles in the Tang Dynasty will be corrupted, but Your Majesty will not. Theoretically speaking, it is His Majesty's own. It is only His Majesty who really wants Datang to be good.
. "

Li Er immediately nodded, "Exactly."

In the era of the world, the only one who can really think about the world is the emperor.

Of course, except for the faint king.

"I don't understand the operation of the bank." Li Er quickly stated, "All related matters will be arranged and handled by Mr. If you have any needs, just speak up."

"Use His Majesty's reputation and credit to guarantee the bank."

"can."

"It is necessary to use the power of the imperial court to establish branches in prefectures and counties all over the world to be responsible for local business. The corresponding recruitment and training of personnel, and the relevant post benefits must be contributed by His Majesty."

"can."

"After the establishment of the Qian Zhuang, there must be countless people reaching out to the Qian Zhuang. Your Majesty needs to suppress it strongly, otherwise, both Datang and His Majesty will not be able to bear the consequences of the collapse of reputation."

"can."

"The bank absorbs reserves first, and when the time is right, it will gradually start borrowing X. This move will definitely offend the powerful family members and important officials of the temple. At that time, all kinds of means will come to you. Is your majesty determined to use force to kill countless people? Want to keep it going?"

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 at all that Li Er would give up.

A successful king may not dare to take responsibility, and a foolish king may only want benefits, and if something goes wrong, he is ready to find someone to take the blame, or it may even be a big deal that the foolish king will perish.

But Li Er and other emperors on horseback are different. They have experienced the baptism of war, and they have the courage and courage to do things.

What a powerful family, what honorable temple.

If they really turned their faces completely, they would be slaughtered if they were slaughtered, so what.

After a long time, Li Er finally said, "This is a good thing."

"That's good."

Li Yunze spread his hands and said, "Remember, Your Majesty, once the people's money is absorbed from the people, the bank will be tied to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. No matter what excuses or reasons are used in the future, as long as it is damaged The interests of the people, the knot

The results are the same. "

"Must die!"

If one day the Qianzhuang really absorbs most of the wealth of the people in the world, it will be handed over to Huo Huo when they meet a dishonest emperor and treacherous officials.

That's not to say, the end of Datang must have been doomed.

People who have lost their wealth don't care about any excuses or reasons, they just want to get their wealth back.

If not, the common people would 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 can see these clearly.

Although I know that the risk is great, the temptation to become a creditor to the people all over the world is even greater.

This is a double-edged sword, the good is so good that it shakes the world, and the bad is so bad that it destroys the world.

Li Er believes that he can grasp it, but
After returning to the palace, the first thing Li Er did was "Call me the prince!!!"

Of course, the affairs of the bank can't be done in a day or two. It is estimated that it will not be opened in a year or two, and it is all in preparation.

However, the few major events that the imperial court is urgently doing still urgently need money to push forward.

Under such circumstances, after obtaining Li Er's consent, Du Ruhui, the Minister of the Household Department, borrowed a large sum of money from him using the income of the Tang court as collateral.

Most of the money went back to Li Yunze and bought a lot of supplies from him.

Massive amounts of dried meat and cheese, numerous military uniforms, thousands of four-wheeled carriages, countless grass bean cakes and oil, brand new armor and weapons, and so on.

In addition to these materials, part of the money was used to pay for the expansion of Daming Palace.

Li Er liked the expansion plan proposed by Li Yunze very much.

When the emperor was free, he would go to the side hall where the architectural model of Nuoda was placed to observe for a long time.

After the autumn harvest, the Tang army finally dispatched troops, starting from Guanzhong and marching westward.

The 40 to [-] Tang army, plus the double number of civilian husbands, is a mighty army of [-], which really scared Tuyuhun to pee.

Li Yunze didn't pay too much attention to the things on the battlefield.

In his opinion, there are famous generals such as Li Jinghou Junji, commanding the Tang army with sufficient logistics supplies, well-trained and well-equipped, and high morale, to fight a group of nomadic tribes.

In the words of the sage, "Tang Jun didn't ask how many enemies there were, only where they were." '

Winning is a routine operation, and losing is big news.

In fact, when Tuyuhun's envoy came to beg for mercy, he saw the Tang army column with bright armor, the massive supplies, and countless dried meat, cheese, salt, white sugar, cotton clothes, horses, carts, iron pots and other military supplies. time, weeping
stand up.

None of their khans can live such a good life!
After Tang Jun set off, another piece of news quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The Changsheng Railway, which took two years, consumed countless materials, and used hundreds of thousands of corvee workers, was just completed and opened to traffic.

When the train departing from Shengzhou and loaded with the grain handed in by the states and counties along the way arrived outside Chang'an City, the entire Chang'an City was a sensation.

Millions of catties of grain were delivered from Shengzhou to Chang'an City in just a few days.

Such terrifying efficiency, such terrifying carrying capacity, and such terrifying speed directly subverted almost everyone's inherent thinking.

The giant steel beast spewing smoke and dust brought Datang into a brand new era.

"Build, build big!"

When Li Er got on the car himself, and spent two days from Chang'an City to Shengzhou, more than 1000 miles away, and came to the bank of the Yellow River to look at the Yinshan Mountain on the other side, there was only one thought in his mind, that is, the big Hurry up and lay the railway to every corner 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-scatterer, he also wants to collect money.

But the current financial situation of Datang. Not to mention paving the whole world with railways, even if it is to build a railway line from Chang'an City to Lanzhou, it will not be able to pay for it.

"I don't care."

Li Er said very simply, "I only want the railway, how to do it is up to you."

'Hehe~~~'

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, the two prime ministers shouted 'MMP! '

Li Er crossed the river and went to the grassland to meet the leaders of various tribes as Tian Khan.

Fang Xuanling and the others got on the train from Shengzhou to Chang'an City, and returned by 'shopping and eating' all the way.

Except for the carriages of these people on the road, all the other carriages were full.People and things crowded all the carriages, and the noise was endless.

"From Shengzhou to Chang'an City, it costs 150 Wen per person. Most of them are merchants who receive goods from the grassland. If you bring goods, the price will be calculated separately."

Changsun Wuji, who is very concerned about the railway, simply said, "However, if it is a short distance, the fare is much cheaper. The cheapest one can run a hundred miles for only ten cents."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help asking, "How many people can you pull at one time?"

"There must be 2000 people to start." Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "I heard from Zihou that the average ticket price can be almost as high as one hundred yuan per person, which means that one trip will earn at least two hundred guan."

'Hiss~~~'

Fang Xuanling and the others were amazed immediately, a good house in Chang'an City is only about a thousand children and eight hundred guan.

"Moreover." Changsun Wuji hadn't finished speaking, "I can post at least several times a day, and I still post on both sides. Not to mention, it's easy to earn thousands of guan in a day. This is not counting shipments. The price of the goods is more expensive. Before the imperial court transported autumn grains from all over the country

How much did it cost to enter Chang'an City? "

"Three thousand guan." Sitting on the wooden chair, Du Ruhui smiled bitterly again and again, "This is still the friendship price given by Zihou."

"Let's just assume that he has a net income of 70 guan a day." Fang Xuanling quickly calculated, "[-] guan in a year?!"

"20 years, he wants to earn 20 years like this." Du Ruhui leaned on the chair, his hands were trembling, "More than 1000 million yuan! The annual income of the entire imperial court is only so much! When he wanted 20 years of income, why didn't you wait?" Stop it!"

This is so unreasonable. If it is really blocked, people will not work hard to build it.

Changsun Wuji said slowly, "The line from Chang'an City to Luoyang City is about to start. Zihou made it clear that this is a line that makes money lying down, and its income is at least several times that of the Changsheng line!"
