lazy tang

Chapter 611

Li Er looked at a running monster in Qujiang Pond in surprise. This guy was billowing thick smoke and making a deafening sound.Chopping through the waves on the water, the dogs on the boat looked proud.

Li Chengqian's jaw was about to drop to the ground, Li Tai and Li Ke beat their chests and stamped their feet.If I had known that this thing was so reliable, I would have gone up it myself.How could it be Gouzi's turn? Seeing the cheering ladies from the aristocratic family, the two brothers felt that their heads should be smoking like that monster.

As soon as the boat arrived at the pier, Wu Mei rushed forward.Hanging on Gouzi like a koala to swear sovereignty, Datang's daughter has always been tough.But such a sturdy one is really rare.Seeing the owner of the famous grass, the ladies of several aristocratic families even burst into tears.

Today is a demonstration of the academy's achievements. It is no surprise that the leather pipe pumps water and the huge crane.The most powerful is this kind of boat that is rowed on the water without sails or oars.Everyone was amazed, they didn't understand how the thing moved.But they understand the value of this thing.Of all the modes of transport, water transport is the most economical.With this thing, the transportation of grain from the south to the north will become faster.If the boat is big enough, you don't even have to worry about the influence of the monsoon.

"How big can this thing be made?" Li Er's dictionary is full of words like grand and immortal.Seeing the grasshopper boat less than ten feet long in front of me, I feel that it is very unsuitable to be the most important weapon of the Tang Dynasty.

"Currently, it is still possible to build a ship that is hundreds of feet long. In the future...! The ship in the future may be a steel ship. In fact, the Academy is already researching steel warships." Yun Hao said very confidently.

Old Yu and the others have already worked out a model of the steam engine, but the problem of sealing has not been solved.With the magic of rubber, the sealing problem is no longer a problem.The first steam engine was installed on a ship.However, Mr. Yu and the others' imaginations were still too lacking. The steam engine drove two rows of paddles connected together.The whole boat looks like a big centipede.No one believed what Yun Hao said about the propeller.How many blades can propel such a ship?

After the experiment, Yu Lao was finally convinced.No way, under the same conditions.The speed of Yunhao's boat is twice that of Yulao, and the facts speak louder than words. Yulao can only bow down.

"You mean, iron can float on water?" Fang Xuanling's eyes widened. Yun Hao's words were too unrestrained, which made it hard for people to accept for a while.

"If it weren't for the bad roads of my Great Tang, this thing could walk on land." Yun Hao had reason to despise the imagination of the Prime Minister of Great Tang.Now that the car is produced, it is estimated that it can only be used to shake the Lantern Festival.People are not riding in the car, but suffering.The vibration of the machine and the bumps of the road made it impossible to walk [-] miles in Xiongkuo Haisai.

"Traveling on land? Since last year, your family has been laying two steel rails to Luoyang. You also said that it would be faster to use a horse-drawn cart. I'm afraid you didn't come up with this idea. Your Majesty! I think that Xu Chugong's 50-year road operation right, It's too hasty. The imperial court needs to re-evaluate before making a decision!" Du Ruhui is not a good person, if it wasn't for Lao Sun who invented penicillin, you would be belching early in the morning.And the spirit is chattering here and there, a good thing for bad Lao Tzu?
"Your Majesty is the king, the king of the world. He holds the constitution of heaven in his mouth and holds the title of king in his hand. He carries forward the transportation of heaven, and follows the law. When did the things promised by His Majesty change? Could it be that Du Xiang broke His Majesty's because of a railway?" Prestige?" Li Daoyan is a good brother.Now that he is the king of the county, as a senior member of the clan, Du Ruhui has to face it squarely.

"Uh...!" Du Ruhui stood upright with his head bowed, he didn't dare to argue with Li Er's majesty.

Yun Hao thinks it's great to share this guy.In fact, Yunhao was not afraid of Li Er's repentance.Because of the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang, the biggest shareholder is not the Yun family, but Li Er himself.If you sue the mastermind for the coercion, it is your ability to sue.I don't know what happened to Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, who has always been upright, didn't say a word this time, why did he suddenly pop out.Fang Mou decided, could it be that this guy suddenly short-circuited his head?

"Well! Daoyan's words are good. I will never go back on my orders. This time, let Yunhao take advantage of it. The world of our Tang Dynasty is so vast. He took advantage of Chang'an to Luoyang, and he took advantage of Luoyang to Dengzhou. I can’t take advantage of it. The decree was ordered to order the Ministry of Industry to build the Luoyang-Dengzhou railway. I really want to see this kind of smoking thing running on the land of my Tang Dynasty. From Chang’an to Luoyang, toward the The evening is coming! Hehe! Never seen before, never seen before!" Li Er stroked his beard and looked at the experimental ship that was still smoking in front of him, as if he saw a train running on the vast land.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Regardless of whether they thought of it or not, all the ministers bowed down and flattered Li Er.Thousands of wears and flattery don't wear it, it's not comfortable to shoot Li Er at this time, when will it be.

"Your majesty is begging to be punished for your lack of understanding." Du Ruhui apologized to Li Er, bowing his body.

"Keming! You are the prime minister, so you don't need to plead guilty on such a trivial matter. Get back on your feet, and you have to do the shooting of my servant." Li Er was obviously in high spirits today, and patted Du Ruhui's shoulder kindly, showing that the emperor His Majesty is still unwilling to give up this eagle dog.

"Your Majesty! The Tang Dynasty has changed a lot in the past two years. Look at the edge of the Qujiang Pond. It used to be a barren grass, and Qinglongfang was a well-known gathering place for urban foxes and rats. Look at the lakeside Weeping willows and high-rise buildings are hidden among them. Those city foxes and rats have also become guards. Look, those are the ones who are wearing green clothes and holding short sticks in their hands.

The minister bought a courtyard here, when he came to live in it a few days ago.They actually posted a notice, hoping that the owner would come to claim the lost gold hairpin.On weekdays, this Qinglongfang is also cleaned spotlessly, and the streets paved with bluestones are swept and swept every day.There are still guards standing in front of the gate of Fangshi. Anyone who is not the owner's family or does not know the owner's family is not allowed to enter.

There are [-] square cities in Chang'an City, and this is the most remote city.But it is this Qinglongfang, the land price is the most expensive.At the beginning, the old man spent [-] guan to buy this other courtyard. At that time, he still felt that Chu Gong had a dark heart, but now that [-] guan is used, someone will come to snatch it immediately.When was the house in Chang'an City so valuable?
Now it is common practice to build houses in Chang'an City, and they bought land from officials.Just build a few buildings for the common people in remote places, build shops under the remaining good lots, and live on the upper floors.One by one, they got a lot of money, and the people got brand new houses without spending money, and the court also got benefits from it.Where did the imperial court have this kind of income before, and the state treasury has been filled in the past two years, which has a lot to do with it. "

"It's true. The land transfer fee has become Chang'an's biggest source of income. However, the land price in Chang'an is also rising three times a day. I see, this money may not be a good thing." Wei Zheng always criticizes ugliness when he speaks, and he can pick from eggs. Out of the bones.

"I also feel that blindly building houses to make money is tantamount to killing chickens and picking eggs. People have so much money, and many houses have now risen to the point where people have to work for 50 years without eating or drinking. This is a bit outrageous !" Fang Xuanling also followed suit!
Seeing Du Ruhui's expression of worrying about the country and the people, Yun Hao immediately understood.The previous words were all to arouse Li Er's interest, they were purely useless nonsense.The last sentence is the key point, there are Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling slipping along the side.They didn't rehearse beforehand, and they didn't believe Yunhao even if he killed him.

your sister!Where is Chang'an? It is the capital of the Tang Empire.As the capital, shouldn't housing prices be more expensive?You don't know what kind of virtues the house prices in the imperial capitals of later generations have risen to.

Needless to say, these words were directed at the Yun family.The Yun family has made a lot of money in real estate over the years.Everyone from the aristocratic family looked jealous, and some followed the example of the Yun family.But they don't have the skills of the Yun family, so they forced the demolition during the demolition.Before the people in the house came out, a dozen strong men kicked violently at the gable wall.Forcibly kicking down the good house, this house is also a thatched house.If it is a brick house, people will be beaten to death alive.

Even more black-hearted, in order to drive people away.The widow of the fallen soldier was forced out of the house. The news spread and the crowd became angry.In the end, Li Er issued an order to punish, and this was considered to have calmed down a little.But this is still Chang'an, and it is said that Luoyang and other places have also begun to have such signs.After all, there are still some supervision under the emperor's chariot, if it goes to the place.Those officials are even less sure when they do things.Under the temptation of huge benefits, God knows what they will do.

"Last month, the bank also issued a new regulation. It said that if you have no money to buy a house, you can mortgage the house to the bank to borrow money to buy a house. You only need to pay the interest to the bank. There are 20-year and 30-year periods. You have to pay it back every month. A certain amount of money, if it is not enough, no matter how much you pay back, the house will become the property of the bank, and the bank has the right to sell the property.

Originally, the bank was engaged in lending business, which is understandable.But the interest to be repaid is 20% of the principal in the 30-year period, and as high as [-]% in the [-]-year period.A good house would cost an extra [-]-[-]% of the money.This is a blow to the bones of the people! "Seeing Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other big names talking. How can Xiao Yu, who is incarnate as a man of justice, take the back seat? He jumped out immediately, and when he was talking, he kept aiming at Yunhao from the corner of his eyes.

your sister!Lao Tzu developed this real estate in Chang'an City.The rest are not Lao Tzu's business!They all watched Lao Tzu messing around, and the forced demolition was not driven out by Lao Tzu.Yun Hao has the urge to strangle the old guy to death!

"Your Majesty! Although the demolition has filled the treasury, it has aroused too much public anger. I feel that Your Majesty should think twice." Pei Ji stood up and expressed his opinion unwilling to be lonely.

These big shots took the lead, and the civil servants immediately seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.They all advised Li Er that the unhealthy trend of real estate hype should be severely curbed.Houses are for living in, not for speculation.

As the instigator, Yun Hao was naturally hit hard.Now I understand that today is a collective crusade against the Yun family by the civil servants.

Looking around, only Changsun Wuji looked at the sky and did not speak.This bastard is the Minister of the Household Department, and he has the most say.How much money the imperial court made when selling the land, I will take the blame for it.

Li Er looked at the angry civil servants, thinking about how to deal with it.When looking at Yunhao, Li Er couldn't help shaking his head.It was this guy who caused the trouble again, but Yun Hao couldn't be hit all the time with the plank.They didn't force others to move. In fact, those who dared to do so were relatives of his Li family.For example, Li Xiaogong who is as fat as a pig now.

"My colleagues are very reasonable. The Yun family did something wrong in the past. From now on, they will never get involved in the real estate business. In the future, the purchase and sale of land in Chang'an City. The Yun family will not participate. If it violates the law, you can submit a memorial. Impeach Yun." Seeing that the scapegoat he was going to blame was getting bigger and bigger, Yun Hao jumped out quickly.Said that he will no longer participate in real estate sales in the future.

With his statement, Changsun Wuji was startled.If the Yun family pulled it out, the other honorable nobles would have to follow suit, and it would be uncomfortable to be the target of public criticism.He is the Minister of the Household Department, and the tax burden of the imperial court has been reduced and reduced over the years.Li Er habitually swiped his pen and subtracted the tax burden of a certain place for three years.But this imperial court has so many officials, and there is also an expense for eating and drinking.

Taxes are exempted, where does the money come from?Isn't it paid from the land transfer fee?As the Minister of the Household Department, Changsun Wuji doesn't care about demolition and relocation that kills people.What he has to do is to ensure that when the court uses money, he can get the money out.

"My lords! Since defeating the Turkic people, the imperial court has pursued a policy of cultivating one's health and rest. Your Majesty is not good at using weapons, and the tax burden on the people has been reduced. Now you say that the imperial court will not sell the land. The old man asks your imperial court's policy." What can be done about the expenses? Does it mean that the tax burden of the common people has to be increased?

Zhenguan six years, Zhenguan seven years.In the past two years, states and counties have been affected by disasters, including floods and drought locusts!The imperial court reduced or exempted money, food, taxes, and even corvee for three years.Special funds have also been allocated for the relief of victims of disasters.Where does the money come from?Isn't it the land transfer fee?Now you say that the imperial court is not allowed to sell the land. I would like to ask you, if you have something to do in the future, the imperial court will not care about it. Why should it be in charge? "Changsun Wuji stood up and said to the people below.

A series of rhetorical questions left the civil servants speechless.The generals applauded one after another, who dared to do real estate business.Most of them are generals, the reason is very simple.There is nothing else in the military commander's family, but there are many thugs.It is handy to demolish it by force.The civil officials were dissatisfied because they saw that the generals were eating too much fat. Today they found an opportunity to complain to Li Er.

"Exactly! The imperial court does not collect taxes, nor does it allow you to pay land transfer fees. Who will support so many soldiers, and who will pay for your subordinates in the yamen? The imperial court has no money, and your salaries cannot go on. Hmph!" Changsun Wu Just as Ji finished speaking, Li Xiaogong immediately stood up.Now his family has three construction sites in Chang'an City, and this matter has the greatest impact on his family.
