Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 596 Tossing and Turning People

In fact, Sun Xiangfu does not need to explain the truth that things are rare and expensive. Changsun Wuji can understand that although Jiangling City is planned to be very large, it may not all be resplendent and resplendent. Half of the area is used as a temporary track and field As far as the current southern economy is concerned, it is not enough to support it to become a prosperous city like Chang'an, because it does not have enough industrial support, and it is not the political center of Datang, unless Li Shimin is willing to let the industry in Guanzhong go to the city. Jiangling transfer, this is definitely impossible.

However, in the future, Jiangling's economy is also very promising. Just now Chang Sun Chong also said that surrounded by dozens of wealthy counties like Jiuyuan County, how could Jiangling not be prosperous.

However, where are those dozens of counties now?
None exist yet.

Three years have passed since the samurai Yi took charge of Jingzhou and began to build the embankment. Up to now, tens of 10 people have been used, but only a dozen pieces of embankment have been opened, which is equivalent to only one and a half nine embankments. Counties, even if the manpower input will increase by three or four times in the next three years, when the sports meeting in Jiangling City begins, there will only be six or seven counties as large as Jiuyuan County.

In history, more than 500 pieces of embankment were completed intermittently for more than 1000 years from the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. No matter how much manpower the Tang Dynasty invested, no matter how strong the policy support was, and the uninterrupted development, at least It will take more than six to seventy years to complete it.

Therefore, this city was actually planned to be so large because Sun Xiangfu saw the long-term future. He believes that one-third of the place that really needs to be built now is enough, and at most, it cannot exceed half. The city is only a few square kilometers larger, and the reserve land must be set aside, maybe because the technological level of this area has developed in a few years, and there will be more land that needs to be used for industry and other aspects.

"Zhengming, let's talk about your tricks!" Changsun Wuji continued to get straight to the point.

"Actually, today, I thought that the princes of the court should be able to easily think of a solution to the problem, but I didn't expect..."

"You mean, this method is very simple?" Changsun Wuji asked in a daze.

"Of course, it's very simple." Sun Xiangfu spread his hands and said.

"The relationship between the various forces is intricate, and even the harem is fiercely arguing over the amount of the loan. Who to lend and who not to lend, and how to balance all parties. Your Majesty and I are struggling. Brains, you think it's very simple?" Changsun Wuji looked at Sun Xiangfu in disbelief.

Sun Xiangfu curled his lips and said, "Why do you think about it so much? Accept everything!"

"All, all, how is this possible? Didn't you just say that the bank has a total deposit of more than 3 million yuan, and their loan amount exceeds [-] million yuan. How, how can this be borrowed?" Changsun Wuji spread his hands road.

Sun Xiangfu still looked calm and said, "Why can't I borrow it? Let me ask you, is there a penny in the bank that belongs to the imperial court?"

"No."

When Changsun Wuji answered this question casually, he didn't think it was so deep, but after he finished answering, his whole body froze suddenly.

yes!The bank itself has no money. The money is deposited by others. Although the imperial court is in charge of the bank now, the money in the bank has never belonged to the imperial court. After people lend money, they want to invest it in property. Then, those who sell materials to them will make money, and then deposit the money in the bank, and the money is just in their hands.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's suddenly enlightened expression, Sun Xiangfu said, "You should understand! In fact, even if we lend them 1 million yuan at once, they won't be able to spend it! Because, all the building materials industry in Datang The average annual output does not reach [-] million at all. Banks only need to rank them according to the urgency of their projects, and formulate a simple lending rule according to the shipments of various building material factories. , anyway, the building materials industry is full of tens of millions of dollars every year, and more than [-] million dollars are released, which is enough for the market to operate. What kind of projects are they going to do, and they are not empty-handed wolves. Is it possible to lose all interest to the bank when the project is launched? And for projects that really need to be started in time, their start-up funds are far greater than the wages of the workers. This is enough to ensure the safety of the project and the assets of the bank. Anyway, the things built, It's worth the money!"

In later generations, with a start-up capital of [-] million, developers would dare to do projects worth [-] billion, or even more than [-] billion, as long as the bank can be sure that the project will not cause bad debts for itself. Now, these aristocratic families all It took [-]% to [-]%, or even nearly half of the funds as the start-up capital, so why dare not do it!Moreover, these projects are all guarantee projects that the imperial court must do. To put it bluntly, even if these aristocratic families do not come to invest in the projects, the imperial court will also have to pay for the projects, so what are you afraid of?
Changsun Wuji heard the words, slapped his thigh and said, "Wonderful, this method is really wonderful, more than 1 million guan, after a few rounds in the market, the money is still in the bank, but they all owe the bank more than 1 million guan .”

The meaning of money has always been circulation. Since everyone needs money, let him flow faster. This principle is difficult for the ancients to understand, and they may not think of applying it in practice. Tang just has a relatively fragile financial system, and its energy cannot be ignored.

"That being said, the imperial court must control the industry. If the industrial layout is unreasonable, just like the imbalance in the number of scholars, farmers, businessmen, there will be big problems. This requires the Ministry of Commerce to analyze and study."

"In this way, the old man should write to His Majesty as soon as possible, so as not to cause any trouble later."

Changsun Wuji obviously didn't want to be a monk after finishing fasting. Poor Sun Xiangfu contributed his wisdom and had to pay for his own pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The time for the banquet was not early. After talking for a long time, it was time for Sun Xiangfu to go to bed. After making an appointment with Changsun Wuji to continue chatting tomorrow, Sun Xiangfu went back to his room to rest. As for Changsun Wuji and Li Chunfeng, Zhen Qian Uncle De naturally arranged for these people to rest.

"Xiu'er, you haven't slept yet!"

"Waiting for my husband!"

"What's there to wait for, don't tell me..." Sun Xiangfu saw Yu Xiu'er who was half lying on the bed reading a book in a padded jacket, and immediately revealed a lewd look.

Yu Xiu'er instantly understood what he meant, she rolled her eyes at him shyly and said, "Husband, don't make trouble. Doctor Zhen had already checked my pulse before, and I was pregnant again."

"Hey, is it true? That's great, how many days have you had?"

"It's almost two months!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that this place is still a treasure of geomantic omen!"

"How to say?"

"Li pregnant! Think about it, Hongmei and Chuntao came here with me at the beginning of the year, and they became pregnant immediately after they came. Didn't you just follow me here more than two months ago? Not long after, you also became pregnant. On..."

Sun Xiangfu's words, if you put it in modern times, can only be heard as a joke, but in this era, Yu Xiu'er immediately believed it to be true, and then Sun Xiangfu was sad, because Yu Xiu'er wanted to write a letter to send Li Xiang Die and Yao Hongxiu were asked to come here for a good reason, that is to design, select, and rehearse the program for the sports meeting to be held three years later. house, to contribute to the development of the Sun family.

"Xiu'er, this is inappropriate! As a husband, I'm just a commoner now, and I'm not qualified to take high-ranking officials like them as concubines."

"Husband, you are a commoner, but as a concubine, I am still Mrs. Anguo, and the imperial court is from the third rank of Tai Le Ling! So! This family, now I have the final say, and you can't object. Now come here from Chang'an, seven or eight The day will come, and when the time comes, my husband will also be served at night, isn't it..."

"This won't work, we have to discuss it..."

"As the mistress of the house, I have the right to decide this matter, which is stipulated in the new law of Tang Dynasty, so this matter cannot be discussed."

It was only then that Sun Xiangfu discovered that what Yu Xiuer was reading just now was actually the code of the Tang Dynasty.

"This law is unreasonable. I will write to old man Wei to change it later."

"It's too late, wait for the next revision of the code to be promulgated, it will have to be three years later..."

It turns out that it is directly written in the general constitution of the code. Due to the rapid changes of the times, the law may also need to be revised and updated. However, because it takes time to draft and promulgate, it will only be updated every three years. That is to say, even if There may be unreasonable places. After the code is promulgated, you can raise objections. However, the implementation of actual amendments must wait for the next code to be promulgated and implemented uniformly.

There is no way, this is in ancient times, even if it takes more than half a year to count the amount of money deposited in banks across the country, let alone the revision, demonstration and promulgation of legal rationality, it can be updated within three years, which is considered fast.

The feeling of being forced by his wife to take a concubine is very strange, and this time Yu Xiuer is completely reticent. It is useless for him to tell Yu Xiuer anything about what love can be together, because Yu Xiuer told For him, taking a concubine is taking sex. If Sun Xiangfu really had a woman who loved to live and die outside, Yu Xiuer wouldn't let her in!
In the end, Sun Xiangfu, who was forced to compromise, tossed and turned on the bed and didn't sleep well all night. He didn't know if he was excited because he was about to take over the two beauties, or because he was uneasy because of marrying two women who were not considered love. of.

There are many people who can't sleep well every night. For example, on the distant plateau, Songtsan Gampo, who also couldn't sleep from tossing and turning, chose a different way from him to spend the night. After getting up from the bed, he held his hands again. He picked up a book on the table and began to read it word by word.

The Dawang Department he sent to Dingxiang to participate in the sports meeting came back. These books were the most valuable things that Songtsen Gampo brought back from Dingxiang.

As representatives of neighboring countries like Tubo, Dawang and the others didn't even have the chance to say a word to Li Shimin in person, so Lu Dongzan and a group of Tubo generals had to stay in Chang'an to eat in prison.

Moreover, when people like Dawang went to Datang, the kind of aggressive aura was completely gone. When they explained to Songtsan Gampo what they saw and heard in Datang, there was unconsciousness in their eyes. There will be an expression of awe.

Through their descriptions and their expressions, Songtsen Gampo, who had never stepped out of the plateau, really knew how powerful this newly rising dynasty in the Central Plains was.

In a big competition with people from all over the world, Datang actually won more than 800% of the medals, and even most of the gold medals, the champions, were won by Tang people. How incredible is this?The more than 300 warriors he sent in the past, considered the strongest elite in Tubo, unexpectedly won nothing in the competition, even the warriors selected from Pyu, a country with a population of [-] million, made him very depressed. Now he feels It is no coincidence that Lu Dongzan's army was defeated at the city of Chang'an.

Of course, this also has something to do with Dawang omitting the fact that before they entered Dingxiang City, the people from the Pyu Kingdom were beaten all over by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It's no wonder that there are gains on the playing field.

However, Songtsan Gampo, who already had certain cultural attainments, was immediately impressed by the above-mentioned truth when he carefully read the Four Books and Five Classics brought back by Dawang. So powerful, it turns out that they have mastered the truth of the world.

You know, the Tubo Dynasty he established is a slavery country, which is not as good as the feudal monarchy!Seeing a more advanced management system, of course you will feel taller.

Therefore, Songtsan Gampo is learning the principles of these books quickly, and is preparing to spread them in Tubo, imitating the Tang Dynasty, and making himself stronger.

Even the Han people with thousands of years of cultural heritage can't find many faults in Confucianism. Of course, it is the ultimate truth in the world. Songtsan Gampo thought that he would become stronger if he understood the ultimate truth in the world. There are many people who are not as civilized as Their high-ranking national rulers are like him, so Confucian culture, after these people who participated in the Dingxiang Sports Conference returned to their home countries, quietly opened the way to spread outside the region.
