Seven hundred and twenty-ninth chapter misappropriation of money
Maoling-eup, at this time, already had the embryonic form of becoming a new metropolis.
Although the city wall of Maoling is still under construction, the population of this emerging city has already exceeded the population of many cities where the Guandong County government is located.
As of today, the total registered population in Maoling has reached more than 7,800 households, totaling nearly 40,000 people!
More importantly, the quality of this city's population is the best on the planet.
There are more than 17,000 men between the ages of 23 and 35 out of a registered population of more than 40,000. The literacy rate of this group is close to half.
Among the male population over thirty-five years old, this proportion has reached a terrifying 60%!
In other words, this city, even in the 19th and 20th centuries, was one of the top cultural cities on earth.
As for today, it can only be described as a bug.
But, this is not the most surprising thing.
The most surprising thing is how wealthy the city's residents are.
Among the population of Maoling-eup, households with a registered inheritance of more than 500,000 yuan account for one-third of all household registrations.
Among this one-third of the population, those whose total estate reaches 10 million account for another one-tenth.
No other place or country on earth can find such a concentration of wealth as Maoling.
And all of this was just because Liu Che wanted to build a mausoleum project for himself and his queen to enjoy happiness in Jiuquan after death, and ordered the wealthy families from all over the world to move here.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, this is a city forcibly created using administrative means and even swords, guns, and halberds.
And the old Liu family used this method to artificially and forcibly recreate a new city, and it has been very smooth.
The emperors of the past dynasties used thunderous means to move the local powerful and wealthy households to the side of their imperial mausoleums. Just like cutting leeks, they cut off one crop after another.
In Liu Che's generation, things have gotten even worse.
This year, the Prime Minister's Office took the lead. The Yushi Yamen, Tingwei, Zhijinwu, and the local county and state systems all took action together.
At one time, more than 500 powerful households from Guandong were crammed into Maolingyi.
These powerful men were escorted to Guanzhong by knives and troops.
Although, their property and lives were protected.
But they lost forever the personal network and local power they had built up over the past few decades.
Each and every noble family was ruthlessly strangled by the will of the country before they even had time to sprout.
For these powerful men, this is undoubtedly a tragedy.
But for this country, this nation, and the emperor Liu Che, I can only use one sentence to describe the great joy!
It is much better to cry as a family than to cry together and as a country.
Riding the Emperor's Chariot, Liu Che looked at the neat and orderly new residential areas lined up on both sides of the street.
On both sides of the street, the people of Maolingyi, organized by local officials and officials from relevant departments, knelt on both sides of the road in an orderly manner to welcome him, the emperor, on his visit.
Through the curtain of the car, Liu Che looked at all this with a smile on his face.
"How is the progress of the project in the academy I asked you to build?" Liu Che asked, looking at Ji An who was standing on the side of the cart.
"Your Majesty, the foundations for the residences in the academy have been basically laid. They will be completed around autumn and August this year." Ji An lowered his head and replied, "As requested by Your Majesty, I urged the young masters to build A, B, and C respectively.
There are hundreds of houses on each level, including fifty houses in A, one hundred in B, and more than two hundred in C.”
Liu Che nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
In this way, his real estate money making plan can be considered complete.
The so-called school is actually the school district room in later generations.
When he first built Taixue and Wuyuan, Liu Che specially asked people to encircle all the land around these two highest national universities and turn them into residential land for school districts.
After Wuyuan and Taixue were built, the project on this school started immediately.
"Local tycoon, noble lord, big businessman, honorable minister" Liu Che smiled and snapped his fingers.
The head told Ji An: "Let someone let the news out!"
"No!" Ji An nodded, but felt a little bit annoyed in his heart: "Your Majesty is good at everything, but he loves money too much."
More than just loving money!
Ji An has been with Liu Che for four or five years.
From the beginning to the present, whether it was the original prince, the later prince, or the current emperor.
This emperor of the Han family is almost obsessed with money.
Use whatever method you can to make money.
There is absolutely no regard for reputation, morality or shame.
Take the Class A, B, and C-rated houses in the residential area of this school as an example.
Even for the lowest-end B house, the current price tag is one million yuan!
This is just the starting price!
In other words, whoever offers the higher price will sell it!
As for the highest-level A house, one starts at 10 million yuan!
This made Ji An doubt whether these houses of your majesty can really be sold.
If it can’t be sold by then and no one wants it, it will be a big shame.
You may even make the world laugh!
The people of the Han family dared to discuss anything with their two mouths.
Especially the peasants in the countryside, not to mention the scandals of the emperor, even the dirty deeds of the royal family were openly discussed in front of the officials without changing their expressions.
Ji An once heard some people talking privately about the late emperor's romantic past.
However, Emperor Taizong stipulated that I would not take any of these small and ignorant people, so they were all dismissed.
Therefore, the common people can safely and boldly discuss the scandals of the emperor or the gossip that circulates within the palace.
As long as there is no rebellion, the government will not bother to control the mouths of these uncles.
As a scholar-official and scholar, Ji An was very supportive of this.
It is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river.
Freedom of speech and smooth channels of expression allow people to discuss the pros and cons of national policies and make their own voices heard. This is the government of a holy king!
But as a minister, Ji An did not support this.
Because this will undermine the emperor's majesty. The peasants can talk about the emperor's private life, gossip, and make comments. This order is no longer needed. What's more important is that the peasants, uncles, and emperors dare to talk. What the officials did.
What is there that you dare not discuss about that matter?
If you have the ability, why are you here to catch me!?
The honest peasants naturally did not dare to resist the government, but those young men who had served as soldiers and had seen the world were full of energy and courage.
I am not afraid of the government at all.
When Zhang Tang was with the Emperor, he made several suggestions to strengthen control.
People cannot be allowed to dare to say anything like this.
Some unruly people and even government servants dared to resist.
If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country!
Ji An remembered that His Majesty said to Zhang Tang at that time: "Can I still delete the post and make a list of blocked words?"
Although it is not clear which allusion the emperor is referring to, the meaning is already obvious.
People like to talk, so let them do it.
Anyway, there won’t be any missing pieces of meat.
As long as they abide by the law and have the rule of the Han emperor, it will be fine.
This is quite consistent with Ji An.
only
As an official, especially an important minister, I only have to think about what if I get into some trouble in the future, make a big joke, and be talked about all over the world.
Ji An still felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Ji An shook his head.
"That's all, I'll write a letter to you and ask Mr. Xi to buy a house in this school in the name of my father." It's a pity that as an official, apart from the salary, there are only rewards from the emperor, the empress and the Eastern Palace.
As for corruption, firstly, Ji An is an upright person and disdains to do those things; secondly, when he is an official and reaches his status, even if he is a huge corrupt person, I am afraid he will restrain himself, cherish his feathers, consider his reputation, and start to maintain
Create an image of integrity.
The rank of his Shang Ling is now as high as two thousand dan. Coupled with the official subsidies and subsidy system implemented after Jin Shang took the throne, he can have a total income of about 300,000 yuan in one year.
But even this amount of money is actually not enough for his expenses in Chang'an.
His slaves and servants alone cost tens of thousands of dollars in taxes and salaries every year.
In addition, we have to help each other with food, clothing, housing, transportation and other things. During the holidays, we also give rewards every now and then.
Lin Lin finally came down. He was in Chang'an. Not only would he have to spend all his salary allowance in one year, but he would also have to repay it.
Fortunately, there were rewards from the Eastern Palace, the Emperor, and the Empress. Calculating this income, it amounted to about three to four hundred gold a year, which was several times his salary and allowance.
However, even including this amount of money, Ji An's annual income and expenditure are not proportional.
Because he still wants to socialize and entertain.
Like last year, when old friend Zheng got married, he gave her a gift worth a hundred gold.
For other princes, princes, ministers and other dignitaries, when there is a celebration or funeral, even if I don't go there, at least I have to send a congratulatory gift.
Over the course of a year, at least five to six hundred gold will be spent on these things.
Ji An is now an official in Chang'an. Every year, he loses an average of more than three hundred gold.
If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to survive.
Fortunately, Ji An's family itself is very wealthy.
Their Ji family has been an official for generations, and they were officials seven generations ago.
There is still a lot of money in his pocket, which can fully support all the expenses his family wishes.
Secondly, his younger brother is the granddaughter of Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Zhangwu, and is very popular with Marquis Zhangwu and the East Palace.
Therefore, when she married him, she only received the dowry, which consisted of a hundred slaves from two manor houses, and other gold and wealth, which together were worth at least more than 20 million yuan.
So much so that Zhang Tang once joked with him, saying that he was not marrying Xijun, he was clearly marrying a Jinshan family.
However, even a rich man like him among the bureaucrats and a wealthy person cannot afford the so-called first-class house at all.
One set costs 10 million!
The most luxurious and extravagant prince's mansion in Qili is nothing more than this!
Calculated based on prices during Taizong's time, it was equivalent to the entire property of one hundred middle-class families!
Based on today's prices, I'm afraid it's equivalent to the entire property of 140 to 50 middle-class households.
This made Ji An really doubt whether these houses could be sold.
“If I can’t afford House A, I should buy House B!”
In this way, your majesty will probably be able to feel a little better on face when the time comes.
Unlike Ji An who was worried, Liu Che was happily fantasizing about what he was going to do after collecting all the money.
If everything goes well, this money-trapping plan will be able to collect at least tens of millions of dollars.
It is almost equivalent to a fraction of the national fiscal revenue.
Even if it is discounted in half, it will still be an income of at least ten to twenty million yuan.
This money will be used to repair channels, which will be enough to cover all the expenses of the Kunming Pool project that is about to start this year.
It is enough to lay tracks from Xiaoguan to Jinyang.
If it is invested in Moyuan, it can at least double or triple the current number of various hydraulic machinery and related workers.
As for whether there will be scammers buying these houses?
Liu Che is not worried about this problem at all.
There are so many big dogs in the world!
Not to mention, those with ten thousand households, such as Pingyang, Changping, Zhangwu, Nanpi and Guantao, could buy several buildings here with their eyes closed.
The two father-in-laws in Linqiong can easily buy a large piece of it.
Then here comes the problem.
If these big shots had a house in this school, they would let their sons and nephews live, live and study here.
So, what will other big business owners and local tycoons who want to have connections with these big shots think about it?
For the Chinese, investing in the next generation is always the last thing they are willing to spend money on.
Countless working-class people in later generations have worked hard to save a dime for decades, but they can spend it in one day just to buy a house in a school district for their children and let them go to a good school.
There are so many rich people in the world today.
A wealthy family with tens of millions of dollars can't afford it, but a house worth tens of millions or more can still be afforded.
In fact, when naming Xueli, Liu Che had already laid the groundwork.
In the future, Liu Che will reveal this foreshadowing when it is sold.
Naturally, he used old tricks from later generations of businessmen.
A family that buys a B house can recommend one person to attend Taixue University without any conditions, and as long as he passes the assessment, he can become a full-time student.
If you buy a B house, you can directly enter Taixue without any assessment or conditions, and you can become a formal student. As long as you can pass the final graduation examination, your status and treatment will be the same as other students.
.
Buying a house
It's a grand prize.
You can designate any one or more (odd number) adult men to enter Taixue for further study, and you can designate teachers.
Liu Che believed that any one of these pieces of information could be revealed at will.
All the big dog owners and nobles in the world want to break the dog's brain.
What is money?
The future of the next generation is of course more important!
What's more, the house in this school may become a status symbol like Qi Li in the future.
That’s something even money can’t buy!
If you don't believe it, spend 10 million yuan to spend 10 million yuan on Qili's relatives and see if they are willing to transfer their house?
Even if they are willing, whether you can live in them is still a question! (To be continued.)
