Chapter 313: The Attack of the Civil Official


Li Er looked at the running monster in Qujiang Pool in surprise.

This guy was making a deafening sound while billowing thick smoke.

The dogs on the boat looked proud as they cut through the waves.

Li Chengqian's jaw almost dropped to the ground, while Li Tai and Li Ke beat their chests and stamped their feet.

If I had known this thing was so reliable, I would have gone up there.

How come it was Gouzi's turn?

Seeing the cheering ladies of the aristocratic family, the two brothers felt that their heads were going to smoke like that monster.

As soon as the boat arrived at the dock, Wu Mei pounced on it.

Hanging on a dog like a koala to declare sovereignty, the daughter of the Tang Dynasty has always been tough.

But such a tough one is really rare.

Seeing that the famous grass has its owner, several ladies from aristocratic families even burst into tears.

Today is a demonstration of the achievements of the academy.

Water is pumped through leather pipes, and a huge crane is already used to it.

The most powerful one is this kind of boat that rides on the water without sails or oars.

Everyone was astonished.

They didn't understand how this thing moved.

But they understand the value of this thing.

Of all modes of transportation, water transportation is the most economical.

If this thing is available, the transportation of grain from the south to the north will become faster.

If the boat is big enough, you don't even have to worry about the influence of the monsoon.

"How big can this thing be?"

Li Er's dictionary is full of words such as grandeur and immortality.

Seeing the grasshopper boat less than ten feet long in front of me, I felt that it was very unsuitable to be an important weapon of the Tang Dynasty.

"Currently, it is still possible to build a large ship hundreds of feet long.

In the future, future ships may be steel ships.

In fact, the academy is already studying steel warships."

Yunhao said very confidently.

Mr.

Yu and the others had already tinkered with the model of the steam engine, but the sealing problem had not been solved.

With the magic weapon of rubber, sealing problem is no longer a problem.

The first steam engine was installed on the ship.

However, the imagination of the fishermen and the others was still too limited.

The steam engine drove two rows of paddles connected together.

They were so densely packed that the whole boat looked like a giant centipede.

No one believed what Yunhao was talking about as a propeller.

A few blades can propel such a ship After the experiment, Mr.

Yu was finally convinced.

No way, under the same conditions.

Yunhao's boat is twice as fast as Yu Lao.

Facts speak louder than words.

Yu Lao can only accept the disadvantage.

"You mean, iron can float on water?"

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened.

Yunhao's words were too unrestrained and hard to accept for a moment.

"If the roads of our Tang Dynasty were not so bad, this thing could walk on land."

Yunhao had reason to despise the imagination of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that we have a car, it can only be used to shake the Lantern Festival.

People are not riding in cars here, but suffering.

The vibration of the machine and the bumps on the road would probably kill him even if he walked twenty miles into the vast sea.

"Land walking started last year, and your family was laying two steel rails to go to Luoyang.

You also said that it would be faster to use a horse-drawn carriage.

I'm afraid you didn't have this idea.

Your Majesty believes that Xu Chugong's fifty-year road operating rights are really It's too hasty.

The court needs to re-evaluate before making a decision.

"Du Ruhui is not a good person.

If Lao Sun hadn't tinkered with penicillin, you would have burped in the morning.

There is still a spirit here that is gibbering and ruining my good deeds.

"Your Majesty is the king, the king of the world.

He has the constitution in his mouth, and holds the king's title in his hand.

He is guided by heaven, and his orders are followed.

How often has the things your majesty promised changed?

Could it be that Prime Minister Du ruined your majesty just because of a railway?

"Are you majestic?"

Li Daoyan is a good brother.

Now that he is the king of the county, as a senior member of the clan, Du Ruhui has to face it.

"Uh."

Du Ruhui lowered his head and stood solemnly.

He didn't dare to argue with Li Er's majesty.

Yunhao thought it would be great to get a share of this guy.

In fact, Yunhao is not afraid that Li Er will regret it.

Because the largest shareholder of the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang is not the Yun family, but Li Er himself.

If you sue the mastermind, it will be your fault if you can sue him.

I don't know what happened to Du Ruhui.

Wei Zheng, who has always been upright, remained silent this time.

Why did he suddenly pop up?

Fang Moudu concluded, could it be that this guy's head suddenly short-circuited?

"Well, what Daoyan said is right.

You must not go back on your word when you follow my orders.

This time, let this boy Yunhao take advantage.

Our country in the Tang Dynasty is so vast.

He took advantage from Chang'an to Luoyang, and he always took advantage from Luoyang to Dengzhou.

You can't take advantage of it.

Send an order to the Ministry of Industry to build the railway from Luoyang to Dengzhou.

Road.

I really want to see this kind of smoking thing running in our land of the Tang Dynasty, from Chang'an to Luoyang, never seen in ancient times, never seen in ancient times."

Li Er stroked his beard and looked at it.

The experimental ship still smoking in front of me was like seeing trains running across the vast land.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Regardless of whether they expected it or not, all the ministers bowed and stood in awe to flatter Li Er.

Even if I have to wear flattery, I won’t feel comfortable if I don’t take pictures of Li Er at this time.

How can I wait?

"I am ignorant and ill-informed, so please forgive me."

Du Ruhui bowed his body and apologized to Li Er.

"Keming, you are the prime minister, there is no need to apologize for such a trivial matter.

Just be free, you have to be my servant."

Li Er was obviously in a high mood today, and patted Du Ruhui's shoulder kindly, showing that His Majesty the Emperor Still unwilling to give up this eagle dog.

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has changed a lot in the past two years.

Look at the edge of Qujiang Pond.

In the past, it was covered with weeds.

Qinglongfang is a famous place where urban foxes and rats gather.

Look now, there are weeping willows by the lake.

The high-rise buildings are among them.

Those urban foxes and rats have also become guards.

Look, those are the ones wearing green clothes and holding short sticks in their hands.

My ministers have built a villa here, and I stayed there a few days ago.

They actually posted a notice, hoping that the owner would come and claim the lost gold hairpin.

On weekdays, Qinglongfang is also kept spotless, and the streets paved with bluestones are swept every day.

There are still guards standing in front of the gate of Fangshi.

Anyone who is not the owner's family or does not know the owner's family is not allowed to enter.

Among the 108 cities in Chang'an City, this one is the most remote.

But it is Qinglongfang where the land price is the most expensive.

When I spent 3,000 guan to buy this villa, I thought Mr.

Chu was evil at that time, but now that I have spent 5,000 guan on it, someone will immediately come to rob it.

When have the houses in Chang'an City ever been so valuable?

Nowadays, building houses in Chang'an City has become a trend, and land has been bought from official families.

Just build a few buildings for the people in remote places, and build shops below in the remaining good areas, and live in the upper floors.

Everyone made a lot of money, and the people had brand new houses without spending any money, and the court also benefited from it.

Where did the imperial court have such income in the past?

The treasury has been full in the past two years, which has a lot to do with it. " "It's true.

The land transfer fee has become Chang'an's biggest source of wealth.

However, the land prices in Chang'an are also rising three times a day.

I think this money may not be a good thing."

When Wei Zheng speaks, he always criticizes ugliness, and he can pick and choose between eggs.

Come out with bones.

"I also feel that just building houses to make money is tantamount to killing the goose that lays eggs.

People only have so much money in their hands, and many houses have now risen to the point where people have to work without food or water for fifty years before they can buy them.

This is a bit outrageous.

"Fang Xuanling also followed suit Seeing Du Ruhui's expression of concern for the country and the people, Yunhao immediately understood.

The previous words were all meant to arouse Li Er's interest, and were purely useless nonsense.

The last sentence is the key point, and there are Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling slipping in next to it.

They hadn't rehearsed beforehand, and they wouldn't believe it even if they beat Yunhao to death.

Your sister, where is Chang'an?

It was the capital of the Tang Empire.

As the capital, shouldn't housing prices be more expensive?

You don't know what kind of virtue the housing prices in the imperial capitals of later generations have become.

Needless to say, these words were directed at the Yun family.

The Yun family has made a lot of money in real estate over the years.

The aristocratic families all looked jealous, and some imitated the Yun family.

But they don’t have the ability of the Yun family to carry out forced demolition during demolition.

Before anyone in the house came out, a dozen strong men kicked at the gable wall.

Kicked down the good house, which is also a thatched house.

If it were a brick building, it would crush people to death.

Some are even more sinister, just to drive people away.

They actually forced the widow of a fallen soldier out of the house, and the news spread and made the people angry.

Finally, Li Er issued an order to punish him, and then he calmed down a little.

But this is still Chang'an, and it is said that Luoyang and other places are beginning to have this phenomenon.

After all, there is still some supervision under the imperial chariot, if it goes to the local level.

Those officials were even more unpredictable when it came to doing things.

Under the temptation of huge profits, God knows what they will do.

"Last month, the bank also issued new regulations.

It said that if you don't have money to buy a house, you can mortgage your house to the bank to borrow money to buy a house.

As long as you pay the interest to the bank, it is divided into 20 years and 30 years.

Every month You have to repay a certain amount of money.

If it is not enough, no matter how much you repay, the house will become the property of the bank, and the bank has the right to sell the property.

Originally, banks were engaged in the lending business, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But the interest to be repaid in twenty years is 20% of the principal, and in thirty years it is as high as 30%.

A good house will cost 20 to 30% more.

This is a blow to the common people."

Seeing Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other big names speaking.

How could Xiao Yu, who was transformed into a man of justice, stand behind others and immediately jump out?

When speaking, he glanced at Yun Hao from the corner of his eyes.

Your sister and I will develop this real estate in Chang'an City.

The rest of the business is not my business.

You all are looking at me, and the forced demolitions were not driven out by me.

Yunhao has the urge to strangle the old guy to death "Although your majesty's demolition has filled the national treasury, it has caused too much public anger.

I feel that your majesty should think twice."

Pei Ji stood up and expressed his position unwillingly.

These big guys took the lead, and the civil servants immediately seemed to have been given a shot.

They all advised Li Er that the evil trend of real estate speculation should be severely curbed.

Houses are for living in, not for speculation.

As the instigator, Yunhao was naturally hit hard.

Now it became clear that today was a collective crusade against the Yun family by civil servants.

Looking around, only Changsun Wuji stared at the sky without speaking.

This bastard is the Minister of Household Affairs, and he has the most say.

No matter how much money the imperial court made from selling land, I will be blamed for it.

Li Er looked at the angry civil servants and thought about how to respond.

When looking at Yun Hao, Li Er couldn't help but shake his head.

It was this guy who caused the trouble again, but he couldn't just hit Yunhao all the time.

They didn't force others to move.

In fact, those who dared to do this were all relatives of his Li family.

For example, Li Xiaogong is now as fat as a pig.

"What my colleagues said is very reasonable.

The Yun family did something wrong in the past.

From now on, we will never get involved in real estate transactions.

In the future, the Yun family will not participate in the purchase and sale of land in Chang'an City.

If it violates the rules, a memorial can be filed.

Impeach Yun."

Seeing that the blame he was going to bear was getting bigger and bigger, Yun Hao quickly jumped out.

He stated that he would no longer participate in real estate transactions in the future.

Changsun Wuji was shocked by his statement.

If the Yun family is withdrawn, other nobles will inevitably have to express their stance, and it will be uncomfortable to be criticized by the public.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the tax burden of the imperial court has been reduced again and again in recent years.

With a habitual stroke of his pen, Li Er subtracted three years of tax burden in such and such a place.

But the imperial court has so many officials, and there are expenses for eating, drinking and sleeping.

Taxes are exempted, and where does the money come from?

It's not from the land transfer money.

As a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Changsun Wuji doesn't care about demolition and death.

What he has to do is to ensure that when the court uses money, he can get the money.

"Ever since you defeated the Turks, the imperial court has pursued a policy of cultivating your health.

Your Majesty is not good at using weapons, and the tax burden on the people has been reduced and reduced again and again.

Now that you are saying that you will not allow the imperial court to sell land, I ask you about the imperial court's expenses.

But what should we do?

Are we going to increase the tax burden on the people?

The sixth year of Zhenguan and the seventh year of Zhenguan.

In the past two years, prefectures and counties have been affected by disasters, including floods, droughts, locusts, and the imperial court has reduced money, grain, taxes, and even corvee for three years.

Special funds have also been allocated to provide relief to disaster victims.

Where does this money come from?

It's not land transfer money.

Now you are saying that you won't let the court sell land.

I would like to ask you, if you have something to do in the future, the court will not care about it.

What should you do?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and said to the people below.

A series of rhetorical questions left the civil servants speechless.

The generals applauded those who dared to engage in real estate transactions.

Most of them are military generals, and the reason is very simple.

The general's family has nothing but a lot of thugs.

It's easy to demolish it by force.

The civil servants were dissatisfied when they saw that the generals were eating too much.

Today they found an opportunity to complain to Li Er.

"It's just that the court doesn't collect taxes, and it doesn't allow land transfer fees to be paid.

Who will support so many soldiers, and none of your subordinates in the yamen will have money to pay the court, and your salary will not be paid.

Hum," Changsun Wuji just said After finishing, Li Xiaogong stood up immediately.

His family now has three construction sites under construction in Chang'an City, and this matter has the greatest impact on his family
