You must know that the center of Li Qi's original economic reform was actually not Bianliang, but Hangzhou. Because Bianliang was too close to the Jin Kingdom and was not safe, therefore, Li Qi always wanted to make Bianliang a political center and an economic center.
At Hangzhou.
Moreover, because Bianliang is the imperial capital, prices of goods and land are very expensive. No matter how expensive you sell it, you really don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it. Almost all the richest scholar-bureaucrat families are concentrated in the four capitals with Bianliang as the center. This kind of
Prices affected by politics cannot be much cheaper no matter how cheap they are, and cannot be changed by any policy. Therefore, once Bianliang's economy becomes saturated, there will be no breakthrough.
This is why many wealthy businessmen at that time chose to do business outside.
Hangzhou is different. The business atmosphere in Hangzhou is very strong, and the local people are also good at doing business. Prices can be high or low, because there are no political factors here. It is purely economic. It depends on how you operate. There are unlimited business opportunities.
.
In order to shift the economic center to the future, the imperial court gave Hangzhou great preferential policies. Especially in terms of foreign trade, it was many times better than Laizhou. Laizhou was actually a very good place, but it was also because it was too close to the Kingdom of Jin.
Therefore, it does not develop as fast as Hangzhou.
In addition, in the two years after Dali and Jiaozhi were recaptured, there were suddenly so many more people and so much more land. At that time, Hangzhou was mainly relied on to support the economy of Dali and Jiaozhi counties. This stimulated Hangzhou's economic growth by leaps and bounds.
, As Li Qingzhao said, Hangzhou is different every day, and it is difficult to find a poor person.
But being rich is a good thing, but Li Qingzhao said that Hangzhou is not peaceful. This made Li Qi very curious and asked: "Shock me? Sister Qingzhao, what do you say?"
Li Qingzhao looked at Li Qi in astonishment and said, "Isn't that why you came here?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I'm just here to visit you. Not many people know that I'm in Hangzhou."
"That's it."
Li Qingzhao looked worried.
Li Qi quickly asked: "What happened?"
Li Qingzhao sighed quietly and said: "Hangzhou's current problems are very complicated. There are many reasons, and I don't know the details. I only know that since the Legislative Yuan was established in Hangzhou, countless problems have come one after another, such as building colleges and hospitals.
, and also about elected officials, if you go to the streets now, you will see people everywhere giving speeches in the streets and alleys."
Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly and said: "How could such a thing happen before? Everyone was busy supporting their families, but now that people have money, the labor force is basically from outsiders. When they have nothing to do, they start to be quiet.
"Jidong, Magistrate Ouyang is also very busy. He recently invited Chen Dong, the law enforcement inspector, to take charge, but it doesn't seem to have achieved very good results. That's why I thought the imperial court sent you to deal with these problems."
Li Qi really didn't know, but he was more curious and said: "About the construction of hospitals, colleges, and elected officials. These are all good things. Why do the people of Hangzhou make trouble because of this?"
Li Qingzhao said: "It is said that there are many reasons, but I am not too clear about it. If you want to know, I am afraid you have to ask Magistrate Ouyang, he knows best."
She was in Hangzhou, so of course she knew something. But after all, she was a commoner, and she was just a female. She only knew the surface of the matter, so she didn't dare to tell Li Qi. Li Qi was the Privy Councilor.
It would cause a bigger misunderstanding, so she felt that Li Qi and Ouyang Che would have to negotiate this matter.
Hangzhou is an economic center, so we can’t afford to lose anything.
Li Qi secretly frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up. It can be said that my coming here is for personal gain. I will go back soon. If I came because of this matter, the nature would be completely different. , I have enough reasons to stay here for a little longer. In that case, I can spend a little more time with Shishi, mother and daughter.
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.
Li Qingzhao asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
"Ah? Did I laugh? I didn't laugh! Let's eat quickly."
...
...
On that day, Li Qi stayed with Li Jiansu and Li Shishi, but went to take a nap after lunch.
After dinner, Li Qi went to one of the small meeting halls of Zuixian Villa. At this time, two people were sitting inside, it was Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.
When the two of them saw Li Qi, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Students have met the vice president."
The Song Dynasty was very particular about respecting teachers, and this was a private meeting. Both of them were teachers at Taishi Academy, and Li Qi promoted them, so they used this to honor Li Qi to express their respect. Respect.
"No gifts." Li Qi looked at the two people and chuckled: "I tried my best to arrange one of you in Bianliang and the other in Hangzhou, but after a long time, you still got together. Ouyang, how many times have I told you not to associate with Chen Dong? This guy will turn his back on you and refuse to recognize anyone else, so don't let him lead you into trouble."
The two people who said this were embarrassed. They glanced at each other secretly and suddenly felt a little excited. They seemed to have returned to the difficult years. They recalled that they were just poor boys just starting out. One offended Master Cai and almost lost his life, and the other almost lost his life. They were so poor that they didn't even have food to eat, but now they are both famous people in front of the emperor. One is the prefect of the economic center of the Song Dynasty, and the other is the leader of the Yushitai. They are both different from what they used to be!
But one thing hasn't changed, the person standing in front of them is still their boss.
Chen Dong hurriedly said: "Vice Dean, the students are just here under orders."
Li Qi snorted: "Don't lie to me. According to the plan, you have only reached Chuzhou at most. How could you show up in Hangzhou? You are clearly thinking about your friends, so you rushed to Hangzhou first."
Ouyang Che said hurriedly: "The vice-dean misunderstood. It was the students who invited Chen Dong here."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and suddenly snorted and said: "You still have the nerve to say it, but I have heard everything. Look what you did? You disappoint me so much."
Ouyang Che was really frightened by Li Qi. He bowed and said, "It's the students who are incompetent."
Chen Dong said again: "Vice Dean, did the emperor send you to deal with this matter?"
"That's not true. It's a long story. Let's talk about it later. Let's settle the current matter first." Li Qi waved his hand vaguely and said: "Sit down, sit down. You all sit down." "
The three of them sat down around the table.
Li Qi took a sip of tea and said, "Ouyang, tell me, what is going on?"
Ouyang Che said anxiously: "I wonder what the vice president is asking about?"
"Hey, it seems like there's quite a lot of trouble!" Li Qi said, "Let's talk about it one by one."
"yes."
Ouyang Che said: "This matter has to start with the Legislative Yuan. At first, when the Legislative Yuan was first established, the people didn't understand it and they were always in peace. However, since the imperial court implemented ideological reforms again. Especially the article not to use speech. After the laws on crime came out, Hangzhou began to fall into public opinion. Later, when the emperor planned to build hospitals and colleges across the country, the Legislative Yuan became noisy and argued day and night."
Regarding the ideological reform, Li Qi could understand it. If there was no quarrel, it would be called strange. But as for hospitals and colleges, he was deeply confused and said: "I have heard about this, but this is a good thing.
"
"This is a good thing, but the people in Hangzhou think it is not good enough." Ouyang Che looked confused: "The key is that the imperial court plans to build a hospital and a college in Hangzhou, but the people in Hangzhou think this is too
If there is less, we will ask for the opening of more hospitals and colleges.”
Li Qi frowned and said, "How much more do they want?"
Ouyang Che said: "As for the hospitals, they requested to open three more hospitals, but this is easy to say, because there are not enough doctors. The number of hospitals will not be increased for a while, but as for the college, they strongly requested that the number be increased to twenty.
Each college must be able to accommodate 500 people."
Li Qi was so frightened that he coughed loudly, but finally recovered. He immediately asked: "So many? Can it still accommodate 500 people? We might as well open all the colleges in Hangzhou."
Ouyang Che said: "But they think that all their children should go to school. As for the accommodation of 500 people, they follow the standards of Taishi College."
Cai Laohuo spent a lot of money to build this college. Hangzhou is a densely populated area. The college here is no smaller than that in Bianliang. There are many places where the court spends money. How can it get so much money to build a college of this size?
.
Li Qidao: "You don't have the money to risk your life to build it, you don't even know how to say that."
Ouyang Che said depressedly: "But I can no longer decide this matter alone. The Legislative Yuan is the key. As for money, I think the people probably know better than me how much money we have in Hangzhou?"
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Chen Dong suddenly said: "Vice President, have you forgotten that you proposed financial transparency? Now regarding the census, taxation has been very standardized. How many households, how many people are there in Hangzhou, and how much tax is paid every year? The people are all watching.
of."
Ouyang Che continued: "Furthermore, after the establishment of the Second Academy, I dared not hide anything. I told the people in detail where every money was spent. Once, I just forgot to tell the people about the money used for water conservancy."
, some people immediately accused me of corruption and bribery. I really don’t know where those people got the news. Even if you can hide it for a while, if you don’t tell the people, when the time comes to use the money, you won’t be able to get the money. The people will
They will say that you are corrupt and perverting the law, and the Song Dynasty Times Magazine will report it truthfully, and it will not take long for this to spread to the capital."
When he talked about the latter part, he was full of grievances! This official position is really difficult.
Li Qi rubbed his forehead and thought to himself, I am the cause of this incident! He coughed lightly and said, "Then what is the situation now?"
Ouyang Che said: "Now in the Legislative Yuan of Hangzhou, two hundred legislators from the Department of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce have unanimously requested the government to open more hospitals and colleges. They know how much money the government has, but the money has other uses. It does not only belong to Hangzhou, but based on
Once the Legislative Division unanimously approves the rules of the Legislative Yuan, they should be implemented. Originally, we used the Legislative Yuan to delay the vague boundaries of the law, but the imperial court recently came up with an education law. Now we are really
There is no excuse, and now the president of the Legislative Yuan is afraid to take to the streets."
It's my fault again! Li Qi's old face turned red, and he said: "This is quite difficult to handle, but it doesn't make sense for two hundred legislative ministers to pass it unanimously. This has never happened before in the Tokyo Legislative Yuan. Could someone be cheating inside? ."
Ouyang Che looked at Li Qi with a hint of reproach.
Could it be my fault again? Li Qi said sarcastically: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ouyang Che said: "There is indeed someone who is obstructing this, and the mastermind behind this is a businessman."
