Li Chao and Mr. Li Chengqian were both in a state of joy, and they were so happy.

Li Shimin is here.

His face was very dark, so he came over.

"In-law, I'm here again. What are you doing? Could it be that this is a grinding machine? Oh, it's not bad. The prince has learned to step on grinding machine. Well, it's not bad."

This face came over without paying attention, which scared Li Chao.

"Oh, your descendant."

Li Chengqian was even more frightened and could not lift his feet. As a result, he was directly raised by the pedal. Li Chao quickly carried him down. Li Chengqian was quite afraid of Li Shimin, so his father discovered that he was like doing something wrong, and he lowered his head aside.

"Well, this machine looks good. I'll try it out to see if it's really that magical."

Li Chao bent down and picked up a bundle of rice and handed it to Li Shimin, while also pointing out how to step on it. Li Shimin tried it a few times, and it was quite easy to step on it. It was somewhat similar to the water truck that people stepped on, but it was much easier than the water truck. He didn't pay much attention at the beginning, and he didn't hold it tightly, and was taken into the barn.

After a few beats, I took out the handful of rice and looked carefully, and the grains were indeed all gone, extremely clean.

"Oh, it's really good, easy to use."

Several other prime ministers also stood aside and watched the whole process.

"It's really clever."

"A handful of rice can be beaten so clean in just a few seconds. A machine can stand two people at the same time. If someone takes the grain, he will be beaten continuously. Well, he can beat one acre in half a day."

"That's how it's better than human-powered striking!"

Li Shimin played a few times and then stopped. He came here today, not really to experience this ripping machine. He had more important things to find Li Chao.

"Go and go inside and talk."

When he entered the house, Li Chao asked someone to prepare tea and fruits, and then he asked someone to retreat.

In the hall, there were only the emperor and eight prime ministers, and a nervous prince. He thought his father came from Chang'an to teach him a lesson that he had not done his homework well.

"I have read the memorial for moving the capital. Where does the money come from when building a new capital?" Li Shimin straightforwardly and did not go around the corner.

Chen Shuda followed, "The 10 million new commercial goods added by the imperial court have not yet entered Taicang, and they are already useful, so it is impossible to pull out the slightest."

Gao Shilian also said, "You can't be too hasty to rectify the affairs of the Buddhist temple for the time being, and you still can't get much money for the time being."

Li Shimin and a group of prime ministers came up and blocked several roads.

A group of people were all staring at Li Chao. Where else can you get money from?

Li Chao was very leisurely.

Since he dares to propose Jianxindu, he is of course prepared. Anyone will give suggestions without giving solutions just by giving them brainless suggestions. Only by coming up with actual solutions to support them will the opinions be useful.

"Your Majesty, in fact, it doesn't require the court to pay a penny to build a new capital!"

"Who, Wenyuan's joke is good." Changsun Wuji laughed.

Du Ruhui reminded Li Chao, "Don't use a large amount of people's strength."

"We can't pay more to the people," Fang Xuanling also said.

When they thought, it was impossible to build a new capital without any money. Yang Jian built the Daxing Palace in Daxing City, which is now Chang'an City and Tai Chi Palace, but it took a long time and cost a lot of money. Even until the ninth year of Daye, the walls of the outer city of Chang'an had just been completed.

During the decades of the Great Sui Dynasty, Chang'an City was being built one after another. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an City was not really completed. Many places were still deserted, but they were just circled.

Yang Guang later built the eastern capital Luoyang, which was built very quickly, but it also cost more money and sent more civilians.

Li Chao shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I just said that Chang'an is no longer suitable for the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so a new capital needs to be built so that the court can better manage the ten thousand miles of the Tang Dynasty. But I didn't say that I would move to the new capital soon, and this new capital was built in two or three years."

"Are you planning to build it for ten or twenty years?"

"Of course not. We can divide the new capital into several construction periods as needed. For example, in this phase of the project, we will build a palace city and an imperial city. The palace city is the residence of His Majesty and concubines, and it is also the residence of His Majesty's office and government. The imperial city is the residence of the capital city. These two must be built first and listed as the first phase of the project. As for the outer city, this is the residence of the people, the place of the market, etc., these can be built first, and there is no need to be built at one time."

Li Shimin nodded in his ears, which was also a solution.

But, after all, if you build it in ten phases, don’t you also need to ask for money, where does the money come from?

"Money? As long as you operate well, you don't need the court to spend a penny to own a brand new capital and make money." Li Chao replied with a smile.

In later generations, a popular term was called urban management.

To put it bluntly, it is the government selling land.

Of course, it's not that simple either.

Urban management is indeed a science. Local governments use cities as capital and carriers to operate. This is just like many cities in later generations like to develop new urban areas.

The policy first recruited a large area of ​​land, usually on the edge of the urban area, with farmland and vegetable fields or some dilapidated abandoned factories. Take down the land at a cheap price and plan it.

Issue a drawing, do a few designs, and then prepare the floor, which is three-way and five-level.

Finally, we have to start a bidding, where we want to build a market, where we want to build a residential area, where we want to build a commercial area, and what streets, sewers, etc.

Anyway, every project can be tendered.

Those people spent a lot of money to bid, and after bidding, they had to pay deposits, and then they had to bring funds to develop, which was to advance payment. At the same time, when the new city was built, the government could sell land again, sell the land at all sides, sell it to developers to build houses and shops, etc.

In short, good planning, good operation, and good capital introduction are indeed a scene of making money. In the end, large-scale houses were erected, a brand new urban area was raised, and the government had countless valuable commodities in its hands.

Li Shimin and others didn't understand it very well.

What you are talking about is human, why can’t you understand it even if you are together?

Isn’t it the government to recruit civil servants and plan to supervise the construction of new capital? How did it become a profitable business?

"Of course, this can be considered a business, but it's just a big business. For example, if the new capital is built, it will be the center of the Tang Dynasty in the future, right? The houses in the capital will definitely be expensive in the future, right? Now the imperial court sells the land to the merchants who build houses. For example, the Xindu is also 108fang. The land in our Yifangfang is sold and handed over to the merchants to prepare the land and build houses. After they build the house, they sell it to the residents in the capital. They make money, and the imperial court also makes money."

"For example, when we build a market, we can directly contract the entire project to merchants, pay them money, or directly package the project to them. When the market is built, can we sell the shops, storefronts, workshops, and workshops here also sell money or collect rent?"

"In other words, when we were building a new capital, we could completely break the current market structure. In the outer city, we no longer build walls, but open streets. On both sides of the street, we can directly build houses into shop facades, rent or sell them. Isn't this also profitable?"

Li Chao said just a few random examples. The specific operation must be more complicated, but it is just such a pattern.

It is beneficial to good resources, but it does not cost money.

"And now the population density in Xiang Deng area is far less than that in Guanzhong. There is no land available for you in Guanzhong, but there is still a lot of surplus there."

Everyone was a little unable to keep up with the pace.

"I always feel that it's so mysterious. It doesn't cost money to build a new one?"

"It's unprecedented."

They all found it incredible, but for Li Chao, it was a simple thing.

Now there are few people in Xiang Deng and many land, and the price of land is cheaper.

The imperial court chose a place to build a new capital. According to the court's methods of doing business in this era, there was no capital required. Just requisition of land, migrate the people, and replace some land for them.

If the imperial court makes a plan, every inch of land will be valuable in this new capital. There is no need to worry that there will be no one in the new capital. At that time, the palace, the government offices in the capital, the army, and the families of these officials will all move to the new capital. Of course, there will be a lot of people, so how can the merchants not come?

With a large number of people, you need a lot of houses. With the demand for daily necessities, you will have a market, and then you will need a lot of markets, shops, etc.

Building residential buildings, markets, shops, and land can increase value by a hundred times. The court does not need to build it by itself, contract or sell it directly to merchants to build it, which is worry-free and profitable.

It will be natural to use the money earned in these aspects to invite merchants and craftsmen to build a palace and an imperial city.

"Wenyuan, you are really sure that you can build a new capital in just three to five years, and it won't cost the imperial court's money?"

"As long as your Majesty is willing to support it, it is not impossible to make money."

"It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, but the court really doesn't have the money to build a new capital."

"If your Majesty trusts me, just leave it to me."

Li Shimin looked at Li Chao and always felt that Li Chao's move was a bit too deliberate. When it comes to Jianxindu, he still takes the initiative to recruit this job.

"Wen Yuan, you don't want to go to Shannan to be lazy, right?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged. If anyone is confident that he can build a new capital that is not inferior to Chang'an City within three to five years without spending a penny in the court, then I will give it to the wise."

"Wenyuan, don't brag!" Changsun Wuji said aside.

"That's right, don't say it's too full."

"Are you okay?"

Li Shimin was also furious by Li Chao's words, and you were too full of words.

"Wen Yuan, you are going to issue a military order!"

"It's okay to issue a military order!" Li Chao looked like he was very worthy of beating.

I have been in the capital for a while recently, and Li Chao also discovered that Li Shimin seemed to have accidentally asked him to reply to Shuofang's meaning. He had previously said that Li Chao would need to be in Shuofang for five years, but in the blink of an eye, Li Chao was pressed to the capital every day.

The three important positions of Shuofang Jiedu, Jing Guangyin, and Minister of War were not removed, but he was not allowed to be a director. Instead, he was given the title of Zuo Pushe, the Secretary of the Procuratorate, and the title of Pingzhangshi, and went to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters all day long.

He became the actual prime minister.

Li Chao was also a little helpless in this result.

It’s nothing to be a prime minister when he entered the court. After all, he was not the prime minister, but eight. But what my father said was right. He was too young and staying in the center too early was not a big deal.

It is better to be more relaxed in the local area. The Shuofang Jiedushi may not be able to go back to work as a member of the Shuofang Jiedushi, so let’s change the place.

Just in time, Li Chao felt that it was very necessary for the Tang Dynasty to build a new capital.

In history, Li Yuan and Li Shimin often went to Luoyang to eat and make a living, and Li Zhi and Wu Zetian simply regarded Luoyang as the new capital. After arriving in Xuanzong, Chang'an City was broken several times, and the emperor often wanted to escape, which was a record-breaking record.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the emperor of Chang'an looked east every day, waiting for the southeast taxes to enter the capital.

Although Chang'an is an ancient capital of several dynasties, it is indeed unable to adapt to the pattern of the Tang Dynasty.

I went to Shandong to build a new capital and spent three or five years on it. It was both relaxing and leisurely, which was great.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chao and always felt that Li Chao was going to go to other places to be lazy. But what Li Chao said was indeed very tempting. It would take three to five years to build a brand new capital for the court. This is so tempting.
