Chapter 257 Ways to Resolve Land Annexation

"Having said that, it is undeniable that there is a huge profit to be made by setting up a workshop, but when everyone is opening a workshop, then the fields are not going to be wasted?" Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng said in a solemn tone: "My Tang Dynasty is agriculture-oriented, so don't you put the cart before the horse?" ”

"Of course, there is money to be paid for running a workshop, but this workshop is not something that anyone can build!" Chen Ying pointed to the chimney outside and said with a smile: "It's the steel mill as an example, everyone knows that this workshop can produce more than 10 million catties of steel per year, and now although the steel is sold at a high price of less than 200 yuan a catty, it can still be sold for more than 40 yuan a catty, excluding the cost of ore raw materials and labor, and then deducting the taxes that need to be paid, you can still earn 200,000 yuan." However, such a workshop, in addition to the land cost, the workshop's workshop, the construction of the blast furnace, the laying of the gallop road, the construction of the gantry crane, etc., all the costs are calculated, no less than 100,000 guan, His Royal Highness the Prince, you can calculate, how many families in the whole world can take out 100,000 guan in one breath? ”

If the price of Kaiyuan Tongbao is exchanged with the RMB of later generations, 100,000 guan is almost equivalent to 427.5 billion, of course, building a good workshop can not be directly produced, after all, it also needs working capital support, so calculated, the cost of a steel mill is almost about 500 million, even if there are 30 million US dollars equivalent to 200 million families in later generations, there are about 790000 households in China. However, in Datang, the proportion is even lower.

Li Jiancheng understood.

Compared with this era, the right to set up a workshop is actually still in the hands of the great family and the gate valve, who have money, people, and rights in their hands, and can use natural connections and resources at any time to open some resource development workshops to ensure that they can make a million profits.

Li Jiancheng groaned: "Even if this is done, it is still the rich who are always rich, and the poor who are always poor, what is the difference from the original?" ”

"The difference is naturally bigger!" Chen Ying pointed to Qinglin and said: "In this place in our Qinglin, all the fertile land is added together, but it is only 5,000 acres, and such land can feed 500 families at most!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded.

In this era, agricultural production is extremely low, the key is that farmers do not have the funds to delve into scientific farming methods, and most farmers simply do not have the money to buy phosphate fertilizer, bone plant pollen, and store all kinds of livestock for organic fertilizer. Usually in the case of a bumper harvest, the farmer needs 60 acres of land to feed a family of five, leaving more than 40 acres of land to improve living and pay taxes.

Chen Ying continued: "However, there are now more than 10,000 households living in Qinglin, and there are still a large number of floating people who come to work for a short time! They just rely on working to make money, to subsidize the family, improve the living environment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go to a random survey, but anyone who has worked in the Qinglin for more than two years, almost every household has built a new house! ”

Li Jiancheng nodded at Wei Ting beside him, and Wei Ting slowly withdrew.

Chen Ying was naturally not afraid of Wei Ting going to investigate, and in the case of Datang farmers owning their own homesteads, the cost of building a small courtyard with five main houses and two wing rooms was about 30 yuan. This is still the price of asking a helper to buy materials. The key is that the people are very simple now, if the neighbors build a new house, they will spontaneously come to help, only need the main family to take care of the food, so that the cost will be further reduced, almost ten yuan or so can build a house like this.

The key is that with the increase of workshops in Qinglin, the labor price here is also increasing, and it used to be a middle-aged laborer for a dozen or so a day, but now the tired work, without 30 or 50 yuan, there is no one to find at all. Chen Ying once conducted a survey and found that even the most unskilled craftsmen in the Qinglin could earn a month or two years of extra money, enough for them to build their own new houses.

Chen Ying continued to explain to Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you also know that once the disaster is in a famine year, ordinary people have no savings, and if they want to survive in response to natural disasters, the only way to survive is to sell land, sell their sons and daughters, so in this case, the clan gate valve can annex a large amount of land at a very low price. However, with the establishment of workshops, these workshops need to use craftsmen, in the non-agricultural busy season, farmers can use the form of work, make money and accumulate, only every household has a deposit of more than ten dollars, they have the capital to cope with natural disasters, even if farmers have no land, they can also use work, feed a family, can also live, not during natural disasters, by people with ulterior motives to raise their arms and respond! ”

Chen Ying was very touched in later generations, (in fact, Lao Cheng had a feeling, this year's hometown was flooded, when the water depth was the deepest, more than one meter above the horizon, Lao Cheng's fifteen acres of land, not only did not see a grain of grain, but instead took into the cost of ploughing the ground, fertilizers, seeds and pesticides, thousands of gone.) Almost all the autumn grain in a county, there is no harvest, now the farmers have money in their hands, they can only consider themselves unlucky, still in the flood receding, the land should be cultivated, the planting will be planted) If the farmers have no spare money in their hands, such a disaster situation of no harvest is very scary.

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Chen Ying continued: "There are many advantages of opening workshops, there is no need to solve the problem of the peasants' way out, the key is that the country in the war period, the mobilization speed will be very fast, for example, thousands of large and small workshops in the Qing forest, only need an edict, at most one day can complete the mobilization of thirty or forty thousand people, if the armed equipment is in place, they can form an army within three days." The speed of mobilization is of course only one aspect, but there are even greater benefits? ”

"The greater good?" Li Jiancheng felt that his head was not enough.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "This is natural, there are dozens of carriage workshops in Qinglin, which can produce hundreds of freight trucks carrying heavy carriages a month, and if necessary, rush to work overtime at full speed, and can produce thousands of four-wheeled carriages and thousands of four-wheeled carriages a month, which can solve the grain and grass transportation ...... of 30,000 or 40,000 stones at one time."

It didn't take long for Wei Ting to come back.

Wei Ting said excitedly to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, the minister has already inquired clearly, almost every household in Qinglin has built a new house in two years, and even the blacksmith Hu at the intersection has not only built two into thirteen houses, but also accepted a concubine!" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Blacksmith Hu, don't look sloppy, that guy has a lot of money in his hand, just his blacksmith shop, when he sold it to him, thirty guan was too much, and now if you want to sell five hundred yuan, it is estimated that no one is willing to bargain!" ”

With the rise of workshops in Qinglin, it not only has the most prosperous workshop group in Chang'an, but also the land price has been raised to a very high level, and it is no exaggeration to say that the land price here has almost caught up with Chang'an City. Any shop is hundreds of thousands, Wangjianglou's location, because it is close to the Jieyu River, was originally a wasteland, Chen should use the price of 300 guan, buy more than 1,000 acres.

Later, with the rise of commerce, there were more and more wealthy merchants here, and the service industry also began to rise. When the proprietor of Wangjiang Tower found Chen Ying to buy this wasteland of less than 100 acres next to Jieyu River, Chen Ying had asked for a price and directly drove it to 10,000 yuan. But who would have thought that the proprietor of Wangjiang Tower, Jingzhao Han, didn't say a word, and directly took it down. In the end, the wasteland was taken down by 700 red mansions such as Wangjiang Tower, Hongyan Pavilion, Lianxing Pavilion, Chuyun Building, and Piaoxiang Pavilion, forming a street of red mansions in Qinglinli.

This piece of land, which was originally priced at only 300 guan, has increased 200 times in Chen Ying's hands and sold for more than 60,000 guan.

Blacksmith Hu's shop actually entered the prosperous area in the Qinglin, and some people even went out to thousands of times, but Blacksmith Hu didn't sell it.

After Wei Ting's investigation, the model in Qinglin refreshed Li Jiancheng's perception of the economy, and everything became very unfamiliar.

Of course, the increase in land prices is actually the most advantageous Chen Ying, because he bought more than 57,000 acres of land around Qinglinli, including wasteland and alkaline land, at a price that was almost given away for nothing, but now the price of these lands has increased by a hundred times at the worst.

If it weren't for the crazy development in Qinglin, Chen Ying really wouldn't have the strength to develop the Western Regions alone.

Li Jiancheng's face was red and white for a while, he groaned for a long time, exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and said slowly: "Although the construction workshop is a million profits, this is ...... There will also be losses and gains, and it is easy to say that if you make money, but once you lose money, and agriculture is wasted, who can afford this responsibility? ”

"Hey......" Chen Ying sighed and smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are wrong, in fact, you don't have to carry this risk at all, you pay attention to self-responsibility in business, who starts the workshop, who makes money, who makes losses, what do you have to do?" You only need to sell or rent out the useless wasteland at a very high price, what workshops they run, how to make money, it is their own business, they lose money or make money, the court is only responsible for collecting taxes! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ying's eyes suddenly brightened, smeared everywhere, and introduced to Li Jiancheng with a bright look: "There are too many benefits of opening a workshop, the construction of the workshop requires a large amount of masonry, wood, and tiles, and someone has to build the workshop, there is wood, and wood needs to be cut, the local people who have timber have money to earn, the logging workers also have money, the workers who can build the workshop also have money, the people who burn bricks and tiles also have money, and the government can collect taxes, why not?" ”

"There are more workshops, the more taxes the government can receive, and there are more people who can work, and once they encounter a famine, they will have enough confidence to deal with the famine!" Chen Ying drew a huge picture cake in front of Li Jiancheng, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that opening any workshop is more profitable than farming, these clan lords and landlords will definitely not spare no effort to annex land, even if they don't have a brain, in fact, there is no problem, farming can only make a few dollars, farmers have gone to work, who will plant the land they annexed?" ”
