"How many? I really haven't thought about it. Comrade Lao Li said.

"This thing is small profits but quick turnover, and if the profit of this thing is judged by cost, it is not thin at all, the emperor, think about it, what kind of business can earn the same as the principal?" Zhang Nan said.

Indeed, if you look at the cost and profit alone, Zhang Nan's business profit is simply terrifying. Principal and profit are the same price, and if this profit is put in an ordinary merchant, I am afraid that I will wake up from a dream.

"Your Majesty, don't think that this thing is very simple, if this thing works normally, it will also drive the economy of our Chang'an City." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Drive the economy of Chang'an City? That's probably a bit of an exaggeration. Comrade Lao Li said with a slight frown.

And Empress Changsun also spoke: "Qingquan, although your private club and bar are very profitable, they have not reached the point of driving the economy of Chang'an City." ”

Although Zhang Nan's bar and private club are very profitable, the most affordable thing that these two things provide to the people is not the service inside, but the jobs.

Now Zhang Nan is opening his mouth to rely on this to pull the economy of Chang'an City, even the eldest grandson queen and Comrade Lao Li, who have always believed in Zhang Nan on weekdays, are a little disbelieving, thinking that Zhang Nan is opening his mouth.

Hearing that Comrade Lao Li and Empress Changsun didn't believe what they said, Zhang Nan also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how many steps do you think it takes to make a dish?" ”

"This ......" Comrade Lao Li naturally knew that what Zhang Nan said was not the steps of cooking, but for a while, Comrade Lao Li also had no answer, so Comrade Lao Li also shook his head honestly.

"The vegetable is bought from the vegetable farmers, the meat is bought from the butchers, and the seasonings are also the same, so where do these merchants buy them from?" Zhang Nan followed the good path.

"This is naturally from the hands of the landlords around Chang'an City.

"Yes, that's true, Your Majesty, have you noticed that because these farmers have no land, the things they grow can only be after paying enough of the country's share, and the rest are pitiful, and more things are still taken away by the landlords?" Zhang Nan said.

"Isn't this always the case?" Comrade Lao Li said after thinking about it.

"Yes, but this also highlights the problem that after these farmers have put in a lot of labor, more money is earned by the landlords." Zhang Nan said.

But what can be done about it? Do you want to buy a piece of land for these farmers to cultivate? Let them specialize in farming, and then you can use the things you grow in your store? ”

Zhang Nan's words are already obvious, if Comrade Li can't even think of this, then he is not Li Shimin.

What Zhang Nan said to Comrade Lao Li meant was to form an industrial chain, a specialized agricultural industrial chain.

At present, Datang does not have a special agricultural industry chain, and all the grain and vegetables in Chang'an City are collected by merchants from the landlords around Chang'an City, and there are no people who make a living from agriculture at all.

Of course, the officials are also in the category of landlords.

Generally speaking, people who have a large amount of land will not be short of money at home, and they will hire a large number of landless people to help them farm and accumulate their funds, which creates a vicious circle.

The poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

There is a very strange connection between the land and the common people.

When an ordinary person has no land, he will sell his labor power to work for the landlord, and get paid for his hard work, but what he cultivates does not belong to him.

And those landlords who hired the people to farm the land, after selling the fruits of the people's labor, only had to pay a very small price, they were able to obtain huge profits, the richer they were, the more they bought the land, and the more they bought, the more they earned.

"The minister naturally has this meaning, but the minister thought about it for a long time and felt that this was not a long-term solution, after all, there are too many landlords in my Tang Dynasty, and the role of this landlord is generally played by nobles."

"Your Majesty, the land you have given to those nobles is not taxed." Zhang Nan said.

The Tang Dynasty is a vast land, and the population is sprinkled on such a vast land, which is not very enough.

Therefore, Comrade Lao Li is very stingy with the title, but he has never been stingy with land, on the contrary, Comrade Lao Li is very willing to reward land, because the more land is rewarded, the more new land will be cultivated.

Usually Comrade Li is rewarded, in addition to the normal gold, silver and jewelry, Liangtian is the most rewarded.

"In addition to these nobles, there are also merchants, anyway, as long as they have spare money in their hands, they will buy land." Zhang Nan continued.

Ordinary people have an extraordinary enthusiasm for land, and many people spend their lives just to save enough money to buy a few acres of land, so that they don't have to worry about their livelihood.

It seems that the land is the guarantee of life.

But this is not the case, because the issue of land annexation has never been well solved, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the people for land.

"Once the land annexation reaches a peak, the people will have less and less land, but if the tax rate remains the same, the taxes apportioned to them will naturally increase, and when the people cannot afford it......"

At this time, Comrade Lao Li had not yet realized that this topic had been opened up by Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan has successfully shifted the topic from building an affordable one to driving the economy of Chang'an City, and from driving the economy of Chang'an City to the issue of land annexation.

However, it seems that Comrade Lao Li did not feel inappropriate at all, but was more interested in the land issue that Zhang Nan said.

"At that time, these people will be overwhelmed and take risks." Comrade Lao Li said slowly.

As the emperor, Comrade Lao Li naturally had a clear understanding of the reasons for the demise of all dynasties, but all dynasties perished, and none of them could escape the problem of land annexation.

Some of them were a direct result of the land's demise, while others were the catalyst, but in short, the land problem was an inescapable cause when all dynasties perished.

"That's right, so the emperor, even if the minister buys good land and hands it over to the people to take care of, even if the minister can't make money with this field at all, it will be a symptom rather than a cure." Zhang Nan said with emotion.

"Since you're able to ask this question, you've got a solution in mind." Comrade Lao Li also asked with bright eyes.
