Chapter 173 Land Finance

Li Xiang looked at Li Zhi speechlessly. I really don't know what is going on in this kind of person's head. Everyone is offering suggestions for this matter. Even if they don't have any ideas, everyone is still very anxious. You are like this

You are a good person, you are always ready to tear down walls. It is really the greatest misfortune for Datang to have a prince like you.

"General, in fact, the imperial court can contract out this area."

When Li Xiang said this, everyone present was surprised. Everyone didn't understand what this contracting meant, but based on their understanding of Li Xiang, the ideas this guy came up with were very novel.

And it can bring certain benefits to the court.

"Tell me carefully."

Qin Qiong was obviously interested too. I had never heard of such a statement before.

Although no one here knows what Li Xiang means, everyone knows one thing, that is, the land outside the city is very important. If we can make use of it and manage it well, if Tuyuhun wants to cause trouble in the future

If so, this is our strategic depth. They will not be able to send troops to Liangzhou City at any time, which will threaten the security of our Datang border defense.

"The General's court is currently short of war horses. That's because we lack a place to raise horses. If we use this place as the court's horse farm, we can invite a group of powerful men from all over the country. They only need to pay part of the money to the court every year. Then

This piece of grassland belongs to him. Of course, he is responsible for the safety of this piece of grassland and to find out news about Tuyuhun for us. When Tuyuhun sent out his army, the court provided them with protection, but they had to take responsibility for their own small troubles.

, this can not only provide the court with a large number of troops and horses, but also provide an additional income every year, and there will also be people to help the court keep an eye on Tuyuhun."

Li Xiang's statement was quite complicated. Many people didn't understand it at first. Li Xiang explained it several times before everyone understood it. That was to lease this land to major families and let them own it.

To train a group of soldiers, you will bear the cost of this group of private soldiers yourself, and you will have to pay part of the army, horses and money to the court every year. As for the excess, that will be your family's income.

"This is a good suggestion. If the imperial court is really so liberal, our old Cheng family will definitely want one here. The price of this military horse is not cheap."

Cheng Yaojin usually did business, and he soon saw the business opportunities. It has not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but if it develops steadily, the situation of more people and less land will soon appear.

If the land is obtained, it will definitely generate immeasurable income in the future.

"It sounds promising, but if this becomes a country within a country, the imperial court will not be able to control it. Not only will it not be able to defend the southwest barrier for the imperial court, but it will also make them unable to lose their tail. This will be troublesome then.

"

Qin Qiong said with some worry, Qin Qiong was very clear about the powerful families. On the surface, they submitted to the imperial court, but each of them had ambitions, which might not be revealed in the Tang Dynasty. In this place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

It's hard for them to say.

"This subordinate has also thought of this. We can set up an official agency in Liangzhou City to strictly inspect the number of troops they have. At the same time, the inspection officials must be replaced from time to time to prevent them from bribing officials. In addition, they

We can also rotate the grasslands they belong to from time to time every year to prevent them from getting bigger locally."

After Li Xiang said these words, everyone gave a thumbs up in their hearts. This guy is very calculating. According to the method he proposed, every household can only make a fortune on the grassland. If

If you want to establish a private kingdom here, it is basically impossible.

"If we operate it properly and leave it to my subordinate Zhi Da Bao to auction, then I estimate that we can earn back our military expenses just from the auction of the pasture. Starting next year, they will be able to provide us with military horses and military expenses.

, maybe our army in Liangzhou City has also spent a lot of money."

Li Xiang has been thinking about this plan for a long time, but someone has to put it forward. He can't talk to the emperor himself. If he does it himself, it would be a bit excessive. After all, this is the biggest thing.

The winner is definitely Li Xiang.

He has already sent people to survey. There are many places with rich water and grass on the grassland. He will definitely turn it into a royal ranch. When the time comes, he and Li Shimin will add to it. If other big families have ideas,

Can you compete with the emperor?

"This matter is of great importance and there is no need for us to settle it for the time being. I will write a memorial immediately. Please write down everything in detail. Send it to Chang'an with my memorial and let your grandfather make the decision."

General Qin Qiong hesitated. This is also the best way at present. Otherwise, the court will be responsible for all expenses. According to the current financial capacity of the court, it simply cannot afford it. Now not only does it not need to pay this money, but also

You can still make a fortune every year. If the emperor is in his right mind, he will definitely approve this plan.

"Add a clause in the memorial that those of us who go on expeditions with the army should have priority."

After most people went out, Cheng Yaojin said this from the side. General Qin Qiong also smiled and nodded. Qin Qiong is not good at business, but he thinks there is nothing wrong with adding this. It can be improved.

Why not improve the living conditions of brothers in the army?

Li Xiang will not interfere with the small actions of these people in private. He has already investigated all the grasslands. This land is not small. It is 300 miles south from Liangzhou City and at least 1,200 miles long from east to west.

, now one mile of land is 500 meters, nearly 100,000 square kilometers of land, we can't hold all of it in our own hands, we must divide it into pieces, and then everyone can become a rope. Only then can we

Fight against Tuyuhun.

After the meeting, Li Zhi didn't stay too long. This guy also felt that there was huge profit in it. He had to write a letter back to Chang'an quickly. No matter how much money he needed to buy it, he had to do it.

They have to raise money with Li Tai. They don't have Li Xiangri's ability to make a fortune, and they may have to sell part of the property...
