Chapter 954: Emperor's son-in-law leaves for Tokyo
Chapter 954 The emperor's son-in-law leaves Beijing
The reconstruction of Luoyang, even if it is used as an accompanying capital, it will inevitably become an economic center, so the reconstruction of Luoyang will bring countless business opportunities.
Those ruined wastelands that used to be vegetable fields and grain fields are actually gold mines.
All you need is a comprehensive and reasonable planning document. With this planning document, you can directly auction the land.
Qin Lang even had a requirement that merchants compete for the land, and the nature of the use must also conform to the unified planning, and there are requirements that it must be built and used within a few years.
For example, in a planned commercial pedestrian street, if you take a piece of land, you have to build the corresponding shops as required and open them within the estimated time, otherwise you will not only have to pay liquidated damages, but the land may also be confiscated.
On the other hand, the reconstruction of the entire Luoyang City is also divided into countless projects and subcontracted. Merchants bid for the construction, not to mention paying a deposit first, and having to advance funds to enter the site. After passing the acceptance step by step, the project payment will be gradually settled. .
This has relieved a lot of financial pressure.
Qin Lang also pulled out the pre-sale of later generations, and directly took the planning map, and started to attract investment and sell it. You can pay part of the down payment, or you can pay the full amount in advance, first come first served, until sold out.
Some good residential real estate, or shops and workshops, etc., are indeed very attractive, especially those planning drawings are very effective. Have you ever seen this model?
Coupled with the proper arrangement of order support, the panic buying trend appeared.
Based on a rendering, he had already received most of the advance payment, and with this money, Qin Lang even had spare money to make some investments.
So it is said that Luoyang City has been built for five or six years. In fact, the imperial court did not invest a penny in it, but every year the project department can hand over a large amount of money to the imperial court. This is how it came about.
The repairs are almost over now, and the construction funds of those project contractors are not in arrears. They are all in the first step of acceptance, and a part of the settlement will be made, completely in accordance with the contract.
As for the hired craftsmen and common people, there is no arrears, because Qin Lang has already strictly stipulated that all the money of craftsmen and workers will be paid by the government on a monthly basis. This money is directly deducted from the contractor's payment and paid on their behalf. Yes, it is impossible for them to default.
As for the real estate shops and buildings that were pre-sold, there were no problems, and they were delivered on time one after another. Everyone is happy.
All of this seems miraculous, but the logic inside is very clear, but most Tang people have not adapted to this model. To put it bluntly, it is worthless, that is, a layer of window paper.
The key is to have a strong person to lead. As long as the manager does not always think about making money, it is still very efficient to do things seriously.
Fear of corruption and embezzlement when doing projects. If there is corruption or embezzlement, the quality of the project will definitely be greatly reduced, and even the materials will be shoddy and so on.
It's not that Luoyang Xiu hasn't had these situations in the past few years, but Qin Lang has a special supervision team, and the supervision is extremely strict. Once discovered, the consequences will be very serious. Qin Lang is the son-in-law of the emperor, and when he is the prime minister, he becomes ruthless. But no matter which family you belong to, no one can protect you.
After chopping off a few stretched hands, everything went smoothly.
Even to the end, Qin Lang has seldom focused on this side, and has been completely in Lingnan for the past two years, that is, to give some approvals and instructions to the reports here every month, but there is still no mistake.
A city of Luoyang, many officials feel that it will cost a lot of money and use too much people's power, and it will be a waste of money. Wei Zheng is a representative of this view.
But in Qin Lang's view, such a large project is completely a good opportunity to stimulate domestic demand, promote consumption, and even create wealth. How many people will be driven to become rich when Datang builds a city of Luoyang?
In fact, many people around Luoyang have earned a lot of wages, and those material dealers and contractors have made a lot of money. Many honorable families, including the Qin family, have grown up in it. Earn a fortune, and the earning is legal and reasonable, and no one can say anything.
This is the huge difference between Wei Zheng, who emphasizes classics but not art, and Qin Lang, who is not knowledgeable. Wei Zheng likes to talk about big principles and looks like a saint, but Qin Lang is a person who does practical things. Let Wei Zheng come to repair Luoyang City , He will only let the government from all over the world provide materials, and conscript the people all over the world to serve as slaves, only going out but not entering.
"All the land in Luoyang City has been sold?" Li Shimin frowned. If they are all sold, how will he arrange the officials, soldiers, etc. who moved to the capital, and how will he reward the ministers?
"Hui Shengren, only sold part of it for commercial development, and still retained a lot of land. In addition, the Baisi government office and official residence dormitory have been developed and built in advance."
"That's fine."
The three major granaries around Luoyang, Hanjiacang, Xingluocang, and Huiluocang, were built in the Sui Dynasty. Now they have been repaired and the granaries are full. The grain stored in the three granaries is as high as 50 million shi. many.
In addition, Changping Division's major Changping warehouses are also full of various materials.
The north-south canal also continuously transports materials from east, west, north and south to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Luoyang will never have to worry about food shortages.
Today's Luoyang has become the largest handmade commercial manufacturing center in Datang. The Gong Kiln in Gong County here produces the largest volume of porcelain sold abroad, driving countless related industrial chains and employing countless craftsmen and common people.
In addition, Luoyang also has important industries such as shipbuilding, water transportation, carriage manufacturing, silk weaving, and wine making, all of which are large-scale and quite mature industrial chains.
The entire Luoyang and its surrounding areas now have nearly a million handicraft manufacturing practitioners, and many industrial and commercial towns have emerged around Luoyang City.
"In recent years, more than 10,000 powerful households from all over the world have successively moved in from all over the world to enrich Luoyang. They have also moved in countless merchant workshops to expand the scale of industrial and commercial manufacturing, and the three cities of Luoyang have become Today, it is a world-renowned centralized trading center for goods..."
Through a section of the canal, the taxes and goods of the world were concentrated in Luoyang, and then turned to the four directions through Luoyang, which further consolidated Luoyang's position as the center of the empire.
So Li Shimin finally decided to move the capital to Luoyang now, and he also saw many places in Luoyang far surpassing Chang'an today.
This is the general trend.
Through the canals and land official roads, a dense spider web is spun, and Luoyang is at the center of this spider web.
A few years ago, Li Shimin had the idea of enshrining Mount Tai. At that time, Wei Zheng sprayed Li Shimin, saying that the land of Shandong was still exposed to the wild, and there were no chickens crowing in a hundred miles, and it was a post-war depression.
Shandong, Henan is far less prosperous than Guanzhong, and has not recovered from the trauma of war.
Now, after a few years, relying on the center of Luoyang and taking advantage of the benefits of the canal, Henan has quickly recovered and prospered, even surpassing Hebei, Hedong, and Huainan. Far stronger than Henan, a land of hundreds of battles.
But now Henan has turned around magnificently.
"I really didn't expect that Qin Lang spent the past two years in Lingnan Town Futiannan, conquering the barbarians, and ended up doing such a big thing here quietly. He is really meritorious and not proud. Li Shimin stroked his beard and turned his gaze to the east.
But the thought of Feng Chan arose in my heart again.
However, the scene of the opposition from the ministers was still vivid in my memory. Li Shimin was not so direct this time, and just looked at the east.
He believed that his actions would definitely be noticed by a caring minister.
It is better for a courtier to propose than for him to propose it himself.
It's a pity that Qin Lang has already gone south to Lingnan, otherwise, if Qin Lang mentions it, I believe it will be very important.
······
Qin Lang left Beijing in March, and he and Qin Qiong and his father resigned from the palace on the same day.
One of the two fathers went to Songzhou in the southwest, and the other went to Guangzhou in the southeast.
When they left Beijing, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Cui Dunli and others all came to see them off, but Prince Chengqian did not come, but sent an **** to give some money.
The young prince was still fighting with Qin Lang, thinking that Qin Lang resigned from the East Palace at this time and went south to Guangzhou to abandon him.
Qin Lang didn't bother to explain, anyway, now Cheng Qian is on the edge of his horn, and he won't listen to what he says, it's better to let him really hit the wall and wrestle, and maybe he will understand when he feels pain.
He has done what should be done, and the Chang'an Xingtai has been established under the emperor's decree.
Chang'an, three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors, one station, twelve guards, four mansions, eight armies, three divisions, etc., are completely copied from the imperial ministries.
Each yamen added the word Chang'an before their names to show their distinction, and their grades were also lower than those of the imperial court.
The first session of Chang'an Xingtai was held by Gao Shilian, literati, Yang Gongren, Li Jing, Wang Qi, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, Chai Shao and other veterans and dignitaries.
Chang’an Xingtai not only manages Yongzhou Mansion, but also the entire Guannei Road and Shuofang Road. Although Longyou, Hexi, Western Regions, and Monan were not included in the jurisdiction of Xi’an Xingtai in the end, it is already very serious.
As soon as this decree came out, many officials were shocked, especially when Fang Xuanling's Prince Zhan Shi was awarded to Gao Shilian, and after the eldest grandson Wuji worshiped the minister's right servant.
Many people couldn't figure out the emperor's mind for a while, and what he thought was changing three times a day.
But no matter what, the power of the crown prince Chengqian who stayed behind in Xijing has increased, especially the extremely luxurious Changan Xingtai team, which further shows that the crown prince has not been neglected because of this, but it seems that he has completely delegated power to let him flex his muscles Experienced.
At this time, Qin Lang continued to go out of the town of Lingnan with the title of inspector Zhongshuling and Sikong, which made people a little confused. What does this mean, relegation, or what?
Let's talk about demotion, the title of the school secretary is still there, and the newly appointed Sikong is still there, let alone this trip to Lingnan. The Jiaozhou Inspector of Li Daliang, who was recalled to Beijing and promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and the General of the Left Guard, was given concurrently, and he became the governor of Zhennan, which Li Daliang had not done before.
Qin Lang held three concurrent positions in Lingnan. He was the governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Zhennan, and the governor of Wu'an Prefecture.
Back then, Li Jingping Lingnan was given the privilege of commanding Lingnan for a short time, but it was not as good as it is now.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Lang seems to be more important, and his favor will never fade.
Fireworks in March, Qin Lang left Chang'an, and the father and father bid farewell outside Chang'an City, Qin Qiong went west along the Weihe River, went to Qizhou in the west of Beijing, passed Sanguan from Chencang to Songzhou, and Qin Lang crossed Baqiao east, along the Bashui Go to Lantian, leave Lantian pass, pass Shangluowu pass, go to Jingxiang, enter the Yangtze River from Hanshui River, and then go straight down to Yangzhou.
Different from when he came here, this time Qin Lang did not take the Ganjiang waterway to cross Dayuling to Guangzhou, but went to Yangzhou and then entered the sea, and took the sea route to Guangzhou.
The reason why I chose this road is also because of the emperor's order to inspect the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the emperor, especially Liuqiu and Fujian on the southeast coast.
