I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Jiang Chong shook his head, and Huo Guang on the side said calmly: "The price of each high-quality honeycomb briquette is five yuan, and the price of ordinary honeycomb coal is three yuan."

Jiang Chong couldn't help but gasp, the price is really expensive enough.

Although it doesn't look like much money, the consumption in one winter is an astronomical figure. Even if the high-quality honeycomb coal they produce has a long burning time, it will cost at least a thousand pieces in one winter.

Oh, the thousands of coins are still for middle-level households. Large households will need more houses, let alone nobles. As for the palace... Liu Tan provides it for free to the palace. Anyway, his father, his mother and his brother He will not treat him badly.

Liu Che and Chen Ajiao gave him money just by looking for an excuse. Although Liu Ju didn't have much money, he could help a lot in other places.

If calculated according to Nakato, at least thousands of honeycomb briquettes will be needed in one winter. Even if it is calculated at 1000 yuan, it will cost [-] yuan!

Now people's living standards, if they are self-sufficient farmers, only a few hundred dollars a year is enough, if they live in large cities, they need about [-] dollars a year if they are not self-sufficient.

This winter, the briquettes will catch up with the family's living expenses for almost two years!

Seeing Jiang Chong's surprised look, Liu Tan smiled.

Why did he insist on selling briquettes to Chang'an first?It will be colder in Fangcheng in the early Ming Ming Dynasty, so the coal will be needed even more.

In the final analysis, it is because selling to Chang'an can sell at a higher price, and the people in Shuofang not only need temporary warmth, but also need to improve their living standards.

All these briquettes belong to Liu Tan. It is impossible for him to put his own money into the treasury. Even if he doesn't care, the people below will not agree. This will affect the ecological environment of the northern border country.

If he can do this, can the northern border country cease to exist?

This is not surprising at all. If the princes and kings have no heirs, the country will be wiped out. Today, when Liu Che continues to centralize power, if the princes and kings have no sons, they will have no heirs, and adoption is not acceptable.

So Liu Tan is not sure how long the Northern Kingdom can exist, so he must support the entire ecology of the Northern Kingdom, so that the counties can develop steadily after the country is eliminated.

After the briquettes were sold to Chang'an, they would get a lot of money, so Liu Tan would pay more taxes, and the national treasury would naturally be filled. If we only look at the money, it is estimated that no vassal state can receive so much money at one time.

After Jiang Chong quickly calculated according to the current tax rate, although he was not so worried, he still said: "But this is not enough. There is not much land in the city... that belongs to the imperial court."

Huo Guang, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Then who do those lands belong to?"

Jiang Chong's expression sank: "Most of them belong to those four households in the city."

Those four households were of course referring to the gentry here in Shuofang City.

Liu Tan pursed his lips and smiled, as if he didn't take these people seriously.

Huo Guang said: "Then do you guess they have the land deed?"

Jiang Chong:? ? ? ? ? ?

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for these four households to have so much land in Shuofang City, and they are more likely to carry out land mergers, but if they want to buy land from the people, they have to pay taxes, so they will directly occupy the people Land in hand.

It is impossible to buy it, and it is impossible to have a private agreement. If they can forcibly occupy it, why should they pay more?

The gentry are sometimes more hateful than the nobles and wealthy households in the capital city. The nobles and wealthy households in the capital city and the capital generally look better when they eat together. Even if they want to do something illegal, it is a deception.

But in a place like Shuofang City, the law is not strict. These gentry families are basically blatantly encroaching on the houses and land of good people, and the former Shuofang county guard did not dare to take care of it. Dead here.

Not only did they dare not control them, but they also made good friends with these people, so these people became more and more arrogant. Before Liu Tan came, Shuofang City basically only knew that there were four great gentry but not that there was an emperor.

In fact, Liu Tan had been eyeing them for a long time to clean up, but he hadn't spared his hands before, but now...it saved him a lot of trouble.

What about the gentry?The land they invaded is unclaimed land without a title deed, and it will naturally be returned to the court.

Therefore, the imperial court did not actually spend much money on land purchases, which is why Liu Tan dared to say that he would give some subsidies to the people.

If no subsidy is given, these families will be gone, and the livelihood of doing business in the city will be gone, and the money will have to be kept to buy a house after the city is built. How can they survive?

As for things like demolition and demolition of rich people, basically there is no such thing, because there is only so much money in the treasury!

After Jiang Chong realized it, he smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that."

After he finished speaking, he hesitated and asked: "So... Your Highness wants the court to build a house for the entire city? This... also..."

Jiang was full of disbelief. He had never heard of such a city building. Generally, most of the city building is to build official residences, and then plan where and what to do. The next step is to sell the land. After the sale, let those people build whatever they want. Of course, there will be certain regulations, but as long as it does not exceed the rules, those people can build it whatever they want.

Liu Tan supported the table and said: "No, not all of them will be built. My current thinking is that Dongxishi and these commercial-oriented squares should be built by ourselves. At the same time, this row and four squares are your residences. , it’s up to you to do it yourself. The rest of the squares near the second row of the palace will also be kept. I want to build a house, and the rest will be listed for sale. Well, this row...is enough for everyone... …Bar?"

Liu Tan was a little hesitant. In his design, each workshop can be divided into four households and one workshop according to the level of Guoxiang Huo Guang, or a level lower than him. If the level is lower, basically five or six households can have one A workshop is fine. For ordinary people, this workshop can house at least [-] or [-] households.

It shouldn't be too small for the four squares to be vacant.

However, Liu Tan is always worried that there will not be enough houses in his hands in the future, and it will be difficult to arrange for people to come again.

Huo Guang glanced at Liu Tan and said, "It's quite a lot, but it's not too much. Why don't you buy the second row? If the rest is for public use, the court will buy it back. If it's for private use, it's up to you."

Just as Liu Tan was about to nod, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Huo Guang: "I think you want to use my money to charge the treasury!"

He expanded Shuofang City so much at once. According to the current scale, a large area may not be used or sold for a while, and the idle is also idle. It is better to let their highness buy it first.

Liu Tan rolled his eyes and said, "The first two rows are free, and the third and fourth rows are for me!"

Huo Guang smiled and said, "That's a good relationship."

Li Buyan rubbed his hands and said, "Then...I...I want to buy one too."

Liu Tan turned around and looked at him in shock: "What are you going to buy?"

Li Buyan said firmly: "Father said, what Your Highness does, I will follow what I can, and I will learn what I can't!"

Liu Tan looked helpless: "Don't mess around, I'm not afraid of pressing money, it may take a long time before you can make money if you buy it now."

Li Buyan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Isn't that what buying a property is all about?"

Liu Tan was silent for a while, and then sent out a soul torture: "So... do you have money?"

Li Buyi was taken aback for a moment: "Huh?"

Liu Tan pointed to the blueprint and said: "Don't look at the small size on the picture, the real area of ​​a square is not small, it's just a little smaller than my palace, have you thought about how much it costs?"

Not to mention whether Li Buyan can afford that little salary, whether Li Xi can afford it now is a question.

After all, their home was raided.

Li Buyi hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Then...then I'll ask Father."

Liu Tan said: "There is no shortage of houses in the early days. If you want to buy, you have to buy a few pieces of land, but you have to do what you can."

Li did not get tired of Liu Tan's instructions and instantly smiled: "Okay!"

Huo Guang also said: "Little General Li can't afford it, but I can still afford it, so I might as well follow His Highness to give it a go."

Jiang Chong also smiled and said: "I don't have that much money, General Li, why don't we buy a workshop together?"

Li Buyan's eyes lit up: "Okay."

Wei Buyi at the side also made up his mind: "Count me in!"

Liu Tan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "I said you are enough, it's not enough, it's really not enough."

Perhaps it was because of Li Xi's instruction that Li Buyi wanted to buy it, but he could see that Huo Guang and the others bought it purely for his face, and was afraid that when the city was built in the future, it would be so empty that it would not look good on him.

But is Liu Tan the one who cares about these things?

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Miao Rui walked in and said, "Your Highness, Gongsun Ao is asking to see you."
