Mohist Tang

Imperial Court Great Assembly.

“Reporting to Your Majesty! This small official After continuous calculation and measurement, the brick road that the Ministry of Works needs to build this time requires at least two thousand 300 li.” Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun said.

“2500 miles.” The officials could not help but slap their tongues.

Among the 2500, even if the red brick secret technique is used, there is at least nearly 500,000 pennies of money. This amount of money is probably the most expensive Engineering Project since Great Tang was founded.

At this moment, none of the courtiers proposed to shorten the official road, because which of the two brick roads is the lifeblood of Great Tang. One is the most prosperous section of Great Tang. As long as it is repaired, there is no reason to lose money. The other is a section that is determined to lose money, but it can greatly strengthen Great Tangs rule over the northwestern region and add a good chance of winning the battle of Tuyuhun. Both of these brick roads start from Chang’an City. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a brick road.

“Wear Minister! How much money can the Ministry of People raise!” Li Shimin moved towards Dai Zhou asked.

Dai Zhou said with a bitter smile: “reporting to Your Majesty, today the people have a good harvest, the State Treasury is sufficient, and the Ministry of People can provide hundreds of thousands more money. I am afraid that the bonds to be issued will require at least 400,000 bonds. “

“400,000 pens!” Numerous officials suddenly felt a sink. Great Tang needs a lot of money. 400,000 pens are enough to do a lot of things, but now they are only used to build two brick roads.

Li Shimin’s heart is black immediately. This is just a road that Great Tang needs to build. Think about the future Great Tang needs to connect to Great Tang ten roads, and the money it will spend in the future is probably gone.

“Your Majesty, there are many benefits to building brick roads, but Your Majesty must not step by step. The lesson of the Grand Canal I, Great Tang, can’t repeat the same mistakes.” Wei Zheng advised.

Li Shimin is nodded, and he has never agreed with Wei Zheng’s advice.

“Wear Minister, the issue of bonds is left to the Ministry of People.” Li Shimin said.

Dai Zhou nodded and said: “This small official divides this bond into four grades from one year to four years. The bond is hundreds of thousands each year. The interest rate of the bond in one year is low. After one year, the Ministry of People repays its principal and interest, and so on. The four-year bond interest is high, but the principal and interest need to be repaid after four years. In this way, the Ministry of Peoples annual repayment of money must be controlled at around hundreds of thousands, and it will not increase finances People can also benefit from the burden.”

Compared with the long-term bonds that have been in the future for ten years, Dai Zhous pace is extremely cautious.

Li Shimin and numerous officials immediately sighed in relief. The annual repayment of hundreds of thousands is a huge number for ordinary persons, but it is not difficult for the Imperial Court.

In a short period of time, the bonds gathered a lot of wealth to make the Imperial Court a major event and control the repayment period. In this way, the Imperial Court set up a large-scale Engineering Project, and the private sector can also profit.

“Bonds are indeed a good method.” Entire Court civil and military also secretly nodded.

More importantly, building brick roads is not a bottomless pit that only sees investment and no return. The continuous tolls in the future will also be a major source of income. This is also Mo Duns first choice for brick roads as the Great Tang Reasons for the start of construction.

The problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. This sentence came from Mo Dun. Although it is a bit arrogant, it is true for a country. Everyone is full of complaints even if it is to work for another day, but if the wages are paid, it is probably the work of the year after year, and no one has the slightest complaint.

The financial problem is solved, Li Shimin once again set his sights on Ministry of Works High Official Duan Lun said: “Duan Minister, whether the red brick secret Mohist Family has been given as promised.”

Duan Lun said: “Back to His Imperial Majesty, Mohist Family Son has already disclosed all the red brick secrets on the 2nd day. Now the brick factories around Chang’an City have undergone red brick renovation, which will certainly not delay road construction. Business.”

The news of merchants is the most sensitive. The news that the Imperial Court is preparing to build a brick road has already spread from Chang’an City. Such a feast of wealth, how can all merchants miss it? Without waiting for Mohist Village to discuss it, In the past few days, I went to Mohist Village to learn the secrets of red bricks. I bought the equipment for making bricks with soft hands, and I was able to recover a half of the cost of building a brick road in the south of the city.

Li Shimin is satisfied and nodded, Mo Dun, the youngster is slippery, but it is extremely trustworthy for the open secret technique, from the original secret technique of living fish. Then to the artificial breeding technology, and then to the current red brick secret technique, even if the profit is overflowing, it is also open without the slightest hesitation.

Now there are chickens, ducks, geese and live fish in Chang’an City, so it’s not the Mohist Family’s credit.

With the red brick secret technique, bonds are about to be issued, and money is about to get in hand, Entire Court civil and military is sighed in relief. Soon, the three provinces and six ministries passed the decision to build the brick road.

“Duan Minister, this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Works. Be sure to complete the brick road in the Longyou area in April next year.” Li Shimin said.

As Mo Dun said, April happens to be the busiest time for all parts of the grassland. At this time, it is the weakest time for the grassland. It is the best time for Great Tang to defeat Tuyuhun. As expected, It was this moment when Li Shimin chose to start the war.

“The minister obeys!” Duan Lun nodded and said.

Li Shimin satisfied nodded and said: “This matter has been settled, you can discuss the Ch_ng’n County Magistrate to ask Chang’an City to pave brick roads throughout the city.”

” Chang’an City is paved with brick roads! Numerous officials said in shock.

Dai Zhou quickly got up and objected: “Reporting to Your Majesty, Chang’an City is the Imperial Capital. Its okay to pave the brick road. Its just that the construction of the two official roads in the Imperial Court requires the issuance of bonds. Where is the money to pave the brick roads in the city.

Many courtiers are also slowly nodded. Although the brick roads in Chang’an City benefit them a lot, the Imperial Court does not have any spare money at the moment.

Li Shimin faintly smiled and said: “What if I don’t use the Imperial Court to spend money?”

Entire Court numerous officials looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

Li Shimin waved a big hand and handed the memorial submitted by Ch_ng’n County Magistrate Su Luosheng to a group of officials for reading.

“Industrial Park Plan.”

Thenumerous officials glanced at it for the first time, and suddenly they were suddenly surprised, with strange names, big brainstorming ideas, and typical pay a How can they be unfamiliar with small price for big rewards in return.

“Mohist Family Son!” Many people secretly thought.

“Specially set up parks for merchants, sell land and build roads, open buses, and set up fast-tracking rooms.” Numerous officials saw Ch_ng’n County Magistrate using such a method and couldn’t help but frown. This move was a bit too much for merchants. Preferential treatment.

“This move is a multi-party profit. Merchants have more factories. Chang’an City can not only solve the fire hazard, but also have the money to lay the brick road. This is a great good.” Numerous officials will not wait for objections. , Zhangsun Wuji was the first to stand up and agree.

Many officials were suddenly puzzled, but when they saw that the purpose of setting up the industrial park was for the fresh air of Chang’an City, and then thought of Empress Zhangsun’s Qi sickness, they suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

This move not only prevents the Ministry of People from paying money, but also benefits Empress Zhangsun’s condition. It also allows Chang’an City to be filled with bricks. Numerous officials no longer object to it.

Suddenly, Duan Lun of Ministry of Works High Official realized that if the full name of the smelting industry were to be relocated to the industrial park southeast of Chang’an City, then Supervisor Jiang under the Ministry of Works would have quite a few Smelting workshop, then how to deal with it?

How can this world be profitable without any harm? This time, Supervisor Jiang has suffered a lot of trouble.
