In the Qingliang Hall, the model of the future Chang'an City built by the Shaofu appeared in front of Liu Che. Tianlai Novel | 2
In the Shaofu's plan, Chang'an City will be one-third larger than it is today in the future.
On the west side, exit Zhicheng Gate and expand toward Shanglinyuan. Following the route used by Emperor Wu to build the Zhang Palace in history, a piece of land of about five square kilometers is included in the scope of Chang'an City.
This will be the site for the future Han Shaofu and other official offices.
Moreover, because it is adjacent to Weiyang Palace, the future prince or prince can easily go there secretly or openly, which will help them understand the people and society.
On the other hand, the Lishui River passes right through the west side of Wuyang Palace and eventually flows into the Wei River.
Therefore, this area is absolutely rich in water resources!
Moreover, the local water potential is gentle, but the flow is very large.
In the future, the Han family's textile industry can definitely flourish locally.
When the Shaofu's workshops and other national construction facilities are relocated, a large area in Chang'an City will be immediately freed up.
Moreover, they are all exquisite places.
Especially in the large areas of land adjacent to Beique and Changle Palace.
This is a high-end, even top-grade real estate project!
Just think about it, how much would a mansion next to the imperial palace, on the ground at the feet of the real emperor, cost to sell for?
How many people are willing to sell iron at the expense of others?
At least, Liu Che felt that when the project was launched, the relatives of the princes and the scholar-bureaucrats would definitely go crazy.
And the richest people in the world will also flock to him.
Who can refuse the opportunity to be neighbors with the royal family and friends with the relatives of princes?
A conservative estimate is that the land vacated by Shaofu and other officials is at least tens of thousands of acres (Han acres), enough to build hundreds of luxury homes.
Liu Che felt that it would not be a problem to sell each mansion for several million.
That's tens of millions in revenue.
Just enough, it can almost cover the funds needed for the relocation, reconstruction, industrial upgrading and expansion of Shaofu and Yousi institutions.
In addition, in the core areas of Beique and the Two Palaces, the offices of Jiuqing will also be re-planned and designed.
Eventually, it formed a huge government office group surrounding Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.
After these official offices, Liu Che would build a large number of three-story institutional family buildings and employee buildings to accommodate thousands of officials and their families in various offices of Jiuqing.
This can also be regarded as a policy to win over middle- and low-level bureaucrats.
In addition, when these officials all live in the same place, a huge consumption hot spot will inevitably form.
You have to know that being an official in Chang'an, the combined salary, allowances and subsidies are enough to make an official family, even a small official family with only 200 dan, jump into the middle class.
If you can make extra money, your family can easily live a well-off life.
Moreover, the spending power and willingness of the families of these people and officials are the highest in the world.
As for the Prime Minister's Palace and the Yushi Dafu Yamen, they will not be moved now, they will still stay in place.
Between these official residences, Qili, Shangguanli, Renli, Xianli and other aristocratic and wealthy districts surrounded them, eventually forming the strongest consumption belt on earth before the Christian era.
The original nine cities in Chang'an will be moved to the outside of these areas.
Become a satellite city.
Liu Che believes that businessmen will definitely know what they should do after seeing this model - even if they want to sell iron, they have to buy a shop!
And these nine cities in Chang'an will become Wangfujing and Wanda in BC - no! It should be said that they are more valuable and more expensive than these two places!
Because Han law stipulates that all commercial activities can only take place in the market.
Even if the common people sell a chicken or sell the silk and linen they weave, they still have to go to the market.
Otherwise, it is against the law!
In this way, how much should the shops in these nine cities be sold for?
One foot, one gold, no matter how much you use it!
In this way, Liu Che can use the money from selling shops to renovate the urban area of Chang'an, and use the money from businessmen to win people's hearts.
Simply perfect!
but……
In this process...
Wu Yan and other businessmen who are also engaged in money business must die!
The reason is simple - they blocked Liu Che's financial path!
"Wuxianshi...hum..." Liu Che snorted in his nostrils.
Where did the Wuyan clan come from in the past twenty or thirty years? How did it rise? How did it expand to the point where it is now?
Liu Che knew clearly in his heart.
In fact, the Wuyan clan is actually the eagle dog and white gloves of the Donggong Dou clan.
Otherwise, how could he have the guts to lend money to Zhou Yafu? How could he have the guts to ask for the principal and interest?
How did Shen Wansan die?
And Liu Che also knew very well what Wu Yan had done over the years.
Over the years, Xiuyiwei has been ordered to secretly collect evidence and evidence of Wu Yan's crimes.
Based on what Mr. Wu Yan has done, to be honest, if Mr. Dou had not been there, it would not be too much to shoot him ten thousand times!
However, because Dou was in the middle, Liu Che could not use normal means to deal with it.
Moreover, the Wuyan clan once lent Zhou Yafu military expenses and eventually recovered the principal and interest. Now, it is also a talisman for it.
This is an archway.
Just like Shang Jun's logs are trustworthy, with the Wuyan family's memorial arch and this log, so the 'reward edicts' and 'gold edicts' that Liu Che has sent out through various means over the years have credibility and will not
Becoming a laughing stock like Emperor Wu’s White Deer Coin.
However, if Liu Che uses official power, even if the Wu Yan family is indeed worthy of death and the evidence of the crime is complete, it will still shake the credibility that the country has finally established.
You have to know that in the past few years, Liu Che used tricks such as "reward edict" and "gold edict" to swindle thousands of gold from the relatives of the princes. He also used this method to give these guys money that should have been given to them.
Taxes, salaries and other income have been leveled.
Over the years, Liu Che has issued hundreds of "reward edicts" and "gold edicts" to princes, ministers and nobles.
The total amount exceeds 30,000 gold!
This act of using the emperor's credit and the country's credit to print money was gradually accepted by the nobles because Liu's credit was very good and these edicts had the ability to be honored at any time.
But once Liu Che kills the Wuyan clan, these guys will have doubts.
If you have doubts for a lifetime, your credit will be worthless.
Although it is unlikely that these guys will run - no one should have the guts to do so.
However, if you think about it in the future and let the nobles and relatives take the initiative to hand over the gold to Liu Che for safekeeping, it will be difficult!
More importantly, it will also implicate Liu Che's current plan!
Speaking of which, it was because of this plan that the Wuyan clan became Liu Che's priority target.
"Taohou, how much property have been pledged by merchants all over the world now?" Liu Che asked softly, Taohou Liu She, who was standing next to him.
"Your Majesty, to date, there have been 130,000,000 yuan worth of fake money..." Liu She said respectfully, "The amount of fake money I was ordered to pay has also reached 80,000,000 yuan..."
When he said these words, Liu She himself was a little unbelievable.
Just to buy these shops, these shops are not even visible now, they only exist on paper - even, most people don't even know where these shops will be in the future.
There are already many people betting.
There are many people among them who have spent all their money and bet all their assets to get loans.
For example, the leader of the Qi State, Tian Wei, pledged all his property to obtain a loan of 70 million with an interest of 11%.
In other words, the young master didn't do anything, he just gave a piece of paper and got all the property of a big businessman with a net worth of at least tens of millions.
Then, in the end, the merchant will use this piece of paper to buy a shop on the paper. After that, he will have to use real money and silver to repay the Shaofu.
From the very beginning, until now, Liu She felt like he was dreaming.
I even thought that either I was crazy or Tian Wei was crazy!
However, besides Tian Wei, there were more than twenty people who made the same choice.
They pledged part or all of their property to the young master, and then replaced it with a piece of cloth covered with official documents worth only three hundred dollars. They went home happily and prepared to use this piece of paper to buy another piece of paper.
Shop.
Anyway, Liu She has never encountered such a crazy thing in his life.
So much so that his train of thought was somewhat blocked.
Liu Che listened and smiled slightly: "Thirteen million? Eighty million?" After pondering these two numbers, Liu Che felt a lot more confident.
Facts have proved that if businessmen smell business opportunities and opportunities to make money, their courage will become bolder than hungry sharks and wild wolves.
And their courage has undoubtedly become the hope for the Han family's bulk financial and trade reforms and pilots that Liu Che will now lay out.
Since, now they can pledge their property to Liu Chelai for a loan.
So, in the future, why can't they accept large checks issued by the Shaofu and recognized and protected by Liu Che with the emperor's seal?
Historically, Jiaozi, which appeared in the early Northern Song Dynasty, operated very well relying only on folk credit.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, private banks also had a large number of banknotes.
Even, in fact, if Meng Yuan and Dameng were not carnivores who only wanted to make money and did not care about financial order, the treasure banknotes would not have become a joke.
In fact, if Liu Che remembers correctly, the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty were strong for a period of time.
Of course, banknotes similar to treasure banknotes are now available.
Either Liu Che is crazy, or the world is crazy.
Because ordinary people don’t have that concept at all!
Paper money is also unlikely to be recognized.
But the next best thing is to change the expected value from Baoqian to an early credit currency such as Jiaozi.
Just like what these businessmen are doing now.
Since they are willing to pledge their family property to Liu Che in exchange for a piece of paper.
So, with this precedent, it is possible for them to deposit their property in the Shaofu Yamen and get a deposit certificate stamped with Liu Che's jade seal in the future.
In this way, slowly, society will accept this form.
Eventually, the modern banking system was born.
And because of this, the Wu Yan family and the Zi Qian merchants represented by them must die!
Because they may hinder or even become competitors of Tahan Bank in the future.
This finance is a power that must and must be firmly grasped by the state.
If private individuals control finance and the currency industry, is that okay?
Could it be that the Han Empire was going to turn into a consortium disguised as a country?
"Imprint this model into a picture and announce it to the people within ten days..." Liu Che ordered.
"No!" Liu She bowed his head deeply and accepted the order.
…………………………………………
Two days later, a "New Picture of Chang'an" jointly announced by the Shaofu and the Internal History was posted under the dew cloth in every village of Chang'an City.
Unlike other official documents, this kind of simple and straightforward official document expressed in pictures can be understood even by illiterate people.
For a time, all classes in Chang'an were in a state of shock!
"Holy Emperor..." The people at the bottom saw that their residences and homes would be rebuilt and equipped with complete ground water sewage channels and domestic waste disposal sites. Officials and government servants would regularly patrol.
Immediately, these people became excited.
The rumors have become reality, the emperor is really going to build a new home for everyone!
Hygienic, clean, bright and safe new home!
For most ordinary people, this is simply the sound of nature.
Although, for this, they all need to pay a hefty fee.
But the official document makes it very clear that it is allowed to "pay for work". As long as you participate in the reconstruction project, the replacement cost of the new home can be directly deducted from your wages.
Even, maybe, there will be a balance!
This is really great good governance!
You know, in the past, for projects like this to rebuild Chang'an City, the state would definitely impose a large number of corvees.
When you do corvee work, you not only get no wages, but you also have to bring your own dry food!
After Jinshang ascended the throne, many corvées were eliminated in the Guanzhong area, especially dangerous and heavy engineering corvees.
People only need to perform public health and safety corvees.
For example, watch the clock, clean up rivers, and repair channels.
The distances are not far, and most of them are in front of their homes. Farming work will not be delayed and there will be no danger.
Those dangerous projects were basically carried out by prisoners of war and slaves from foreign wars.
Like the current Maoling Project, in addition to technical craftsmen, most of the workers in the entire project were Huns prisoners of war.
What amazed the people of Guanzhong even more was that these prisoners of war actually enjoyed doing such heavy work.
The work attitude of many people is even so positive that it makes people question their life.
In addition to the vast middle and lower classes, middle- and lower-class officials also became excited after seeing the sketches and specific plans of this plan.
Today, most of the middle and low-level officials in the Jiuqing yamen in Chang'an, especially those between 200 shi and 600 shi, are basically from the imperial examination.
And this means that most of them are not from Guanzhong.
Their home is far away in Kanto.
Living in Chang'an is not easy.
Even the emperor added various allowances and subsidies in addition to his salary.
But to be honest, if you don’t make extra money, it’s just a dream for your wife and children to live a relatively good life!
And now, in the Chang'an reconstruction plan promulgated by the emperor, these people are given houses.
And it's a free house.
According to the level, two hundred stones, four hundred stones, six hundred stones, one thousand stones, you can enjoy different levels of housing.
Even an official with the lowest income of two hundred shi can be assigned to a one-story residence.
Enough to accommodate him, his wife, and parents!
Therefore, as soon as this policy was announced, the morale of the entire Chang'an bureaucracy was instantly maximized, and their loyalty was doubled!
