The astonishing changes in the business of Chang'an City were the main reason why Gaozong summoned relevant people into the palace.

Different from Wu Hou's side, Li Zhi's series of business plans have had in-depth discussions with him at the beginning.

Gaozong's expectation of the improvement of Chang'an City's status has always been closely concerned, so it is far more timely than Empress Wu's reaction.

For the temporary meeting over there, he also got a tip, but he didn't worry much about targeted means, and now Li Zhi is not someone who dares to offend, besides, the name of that kid has been very loud recently.

"Looking for you to come here, just to listen to the follow-up actions, around Chang'an City, the nearby prefectures and counties need to cooperate as soon as possible, and there is no room for hindrance!" Gojong's tone became more and more harsh.

At present, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and few people have seen the emperor who is intact and energetic at this time, he is still in a state of illness, and the crown prince is in power.

Gaozong first looked at Pei Yan, who understood:

"Chang'an is a military pass, with a geographical disadvantage, beyond the four passes is a horse Pingchuan, but it also makes it more feasible to spread out commercially at this time! At present, Mr. Li has planned a relatively barren land between Dongtong Pass and Yuxi Dasan Pass, and intends to focus on building a cloth processing industry! Many of the large landlords' estates there, because the grain is basically self-sufficient, are happy to actively cooperate, and they will convince the growers to collect the land in advance! ”

"The cultivation of official grain is planned, does this move disrupt the original land allocation?" Prince Li Xian did not forget to remind.

Pei Yan said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the relevant government of Chang'an City has already received the report, and the counties are also adjusting each other because of this, without affecting the specific number of official fields, the cloth workshop will be fixed to other districts and counties to compensate accordingly, after all, the cloth industry will cause some pollution to water resources, and the irrigation of relevant farmland will be affected!" ”

"What is the purpose of this, and where are the benefits beyond economic interests?" Gaozong suddenly interjected.

"According to Mr. Li, the concentration of related manufacturing industries can be more effective in preventing water pollution, otherwise the east and west will be unorganized, but the pollution sources will expand unlimitedly, and in serious cases, it will lead to a large-scale reduction in grain production!"

Seeing that Gaozong nodded slightly in approval, Pei Yancai continued:

"Those who occupy farmland will solve the problem of employment on the spot, which will avoid the increase in the number of displaced people. Due to the huge amount of female workers in related industries, the men in the original tenant farmers will be concentrated to engage in the transportation of goods, and the landlord and the owner of the manor will come forward to form a transportation team, package operation, and healthy competition! ”

Gao Zong laughed: "Package operation, healthy competition? It's also a fresh word from Mr. Lee's mouth, right? Well, his planning is well done, Pei Xiang summed it up in a few words, I am very satisfied! ”

He turned to Li Xiandao: "This is the corner of Mr. Li's advanced planning blueprint, you will come to power in the future, try your best to get some of his suggestions, see the skill in the ordinary, see the truth in the subtleties, it is this kind of quite sober mind design ability!" ”

Li Xian nodded frequently, Gaozong didn't have to ask too much about everything, just from this aspect, it could be seen that the business circle built around Chang'an City had rules to follow.

Moreover, Li Zhi obviously meticulously planned the future livelihood of a most ordinary tenant, and planned in advance for the possible negative impacts, which is really not an exaggeration to say that he acted carefully.

At this time, Gaozong asked again: "Pei Xiang, how do the relevant governments at all levels react to this part of the plan?" ”

Pei Yan's expression was very relaxed:

It can be said that Mr. Li took almost everything into account in advance, and because of the possible pollution problem, he took the initiative to contact all the businesses and jointly fund and participate in the siltation and dredging of the Wei River and the Bahe River every year. There are also carriages and horses for the transportation of goods and grains

Cheng, and at the same time put forward reasonable suggestions to the government offices! ”

Gaozong shouted again, "Returning with grain, and solving the problem of transporting grain in addition to business, Mr. Li is really sincere for the sake of the imperial court!" ”

Since ancient times, Chang'an has faced a big trouble: lack of food.

The authorities of the Tang Dynasty had to requisition food from the south of the Yangtze River, although there was a canal, but due to the long distance of transportation, not to mention the time, and the risk was also very large, once it caught up with the stormy day, it was not good to capsize in the canal.

When Gaozong arrived in Tang Gaozong, in order to deal with the risk of food, he often took hundreds of civil and military officials to Luoyang to "eat for nothing".

Subsequently, Tang Gaozong promoted the position of Luoyang, officially designated it as the eastern capital, built the Luoyang Palace, and called Chang'an and Luoyang the "East and West Mansions", and the position of Luoyang as the deputy capital was also affirmed.

During Wu Zetian's period, she made a more courageous decision, positioning Luoyang as the real capital of the empire and renaming it "Shendu", which surpassed Chang'an. Since then, she has continued to stay in Luoyang, rarely returning to Chang'an, and the authorities have also moved to Luoyang.

After the fall of Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong moved the regime back to Chang'an, but Luoyang was still the main accompanying capital; When he arrived in Tang Xuanzong, he spent one-third of his time in Luoyang, and every time he went to Luoyang, it was because of food trouble.

Therefore, the shortage of grain in Chang'an at that time was a huge problem that had not been solved, and it was not until a minister named Pei Yaoqing improved the process of transportation and greatly strengthened the rate of transporting grain from the south of the Yangtze River that the grain shortage in Chang'an had to be dealt with.

Li Zhi's suggestion undoubtedly perfectly combines agriculture and commerce, but the biggest problem of grassroots officials is the problem of grain transportation.

Li Xian was also happy: "Mr. Li is really good at planning, the transportation of goods directly brings the grain back, and the government will purchase it in a unified manner, which will undoubtedly solve the problem of agriculture and commerce at once, but it sounds like a very complicated matter, but it seems to have become simpler all of a sudden!" ”

Gaozong turned pale:

"But there is a key problem in this, the grain purchase of the freight caravan, the government at all levels must ensure the delivery of cash and silver, in order to ensure the enthusiasm of the grain transportation behavior, otherwise such a delicate plan will miss the big thing because of the careful thinking of individual officials! Prince, you will issue a summons on my behalf today, saying that you must strictly investigate this issue, and once corruption or misconduct is discovered, you will be dismissed and dealt with on the spot! ”

Li Xian hurriedly got up to receive the order, this issue is indeed very important, once it affects the enthusiasm of the caravan to transport grain, no matter how much Chang'an City develops, it will never be able to get around the dilemma of lack of food.

If a well-functioning business is disastrous due to an excessive lack of food, it can be a catastrophic loss.

At the beginning of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, due to the sparse population at that time, food self-sufficiency was not a problem, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the environment around the Guanzhong Plain began to deteriorate, and the agricultural advantage gradually declined, but the population increased dozens of times relatively speaking.

Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal during the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Grand Canal is located in Luoyang City, Henan Province, about 800 miles away from Chang'an, and the narrow river channel of Sanmenxia and the drop in water level make it difficult for grain ships to go up.

In the narrowest area of the fairway, where the procession of grain and grass that began from Luoyang arrived, thousands of civilians, relying on human resources, climbed steep mountains.

They dragged grain boats to safety and headed for the capital Chang'an, which means that the destination of the Grand Canal was actually Chang'an, and the last part of the voyage was built by manpower.

There are millions of people in Chang'an, there is not enough food to live, and even the fundamental problem of survival cannot be solved, how can we talk about the prosperity of commerce and trade?

Li Xian grew up in Chang'an City since he was a child, and no matter how worry-free he is, he will also receive relevant education

How can you not know the city's thirst for food?

Due to the backward traffic conditions and poor road conditions at that time, even if the daily grain transportation team was never interrupted, the scale would be greatly limited.

Once the caravan transportation is involved, it is equivalent to the participation of the whole people, which will greatly improve the problem of food shortage, which is a matter of life and death for livelihood.

And the current situation is that because of the establishment of a previously inconspicuous trading city, there have been large-scale drastic changes, which shows how terrifying and forward-looking the business plan secretly created by Li Zhi and Gaozong back then.

At this time, the results finally began to be seen, and in addition to Gaozong's extreme excitement, he was deeply disgusted by the possible inaction of officials, and Li Xian certainly understood it better than others.

At that time, there was no such thing as a butterfly effect, but it is an indisputable fact that the small change in the trade city has led to a long-term huge chain reaction in the entire region.

Including several kings who have a good relationship with Li Zhi, although they have participated in the plan to varying degrees at the first time, to be honest, no one really understands the huge influence at this moment.

Just like the Ming Wangfu at this moment, around Li Zhi, there are King Xuan, King Song, the new and old Ming Wang, the King of Jiancheng, the King of Nanjiang, and Taiwei Yu. Guan Lugong and others.

Without exception, they are here for future development, and King Xuan, among them, is entrusted by the emperor and hurried back from Luoyang.

"Text, today's Chang'an City because of the operation of the Trade City, with the rapid change to describe but not more, I admit that although I actively participated in the beginning, in fact, I still have some disapproval in my heart, but at this moment, I want to give you a deep salute!"

The person who opened his mouth to speak and was stopped by Li Zhi to give a salute was King Xuan who came from afar.

Before, because the emperor was in Chang'an, and he called Mr. Li Zhili with his mouth and teeth, these people present could only be called like this.

Now that Gaozong is far away in Luoyang, the title of the text is more cordial and familiar, so they all changed their mouths and added his name.

Li Zhi is not hypocritical:

"Then I'll tell you the truth! When I built this economic circle, I myself was not confident, but after the emperor's teachings, I really realized that it was irreplaceable! I admit that because of the appearance of the Trade City, there have been great changes in the surrounding hundreds of miles, not just our Chang'an City, until a few days ago, my heart was relaxed! It's not easy! ”

King Song sighed: "This result is indeed beyond everyone's prejudgment, including the old few of us present!" What does that old saying come about? Listen to the thunder in the silence, the text, your operation is very embarrassing to a large number of people! Lao Zhuang's so-called big sound and elephant are invisible, which is probably the truth. ”

Li Zhi was suddenly stunned, he had always thought that he heard the thunder in a silent place from the mouth of Lu Xun in later generations, but he didn't expect to travel through more than a thousand years ago, and he had already said this.

That's not the point, he's not an immortal, at least not yet, so he's proud that someone praises him so much, after all, he himself thinks that the original plan is so subtle after it works.

However, in the face of a kind of fierce eyeing of the big man of the dynasty, the reserved nature should still be maintained: "I don't think that a single person can achieve the current effect!" ”

King Song said: "That's natural, but you are crucial in it, so I want you to guide the fourth son of Maze Li Xing and Li Shanchao!" ”

"Lord Song, why do you say this?" Li Zhi's surprise was not pretended.

King Song looked at King Xuan, who said with a smile: "I have to say that the whole dynasty is talking about this matter, but there is something wrong at the middle level!" ”
