Chapter 748

"I intend to leave the palace!"

Emperor Wende was in a bad mood and suddenly proposed to leave the palace.

He didn't want to disturb the courtiers.

Once the courtiers knew that he was going to leave the palace, it must be all kinds of admonitions, such as the old saying that the emperor would work hard for the people and hurt the money when he left the palace.

Emperor Wende didn't want to listen to the nagging of the courtiers, and told Chang en to do it secretly and not to make any noise.

In addition to the attendants and security guards, Emperor Wende only took Lu Shizhong with him.

Lu Shizhong obviously didn't approve of Wende's sneaking out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, how can you sneak out of the palace? If there's an accident, I'll be responsible for the death of the minister."

Emperor Wende got out of the palace smoothly.

The carriage was walking in the streets and lanes, listening to the voice of bargaining among the villagers outside, and the strong smoke and fire came to the face.

Winder took a deep breath.

Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he became more and more distant from smoke and fire.

At this moment, Emperor Wende's mood is very high. "Aiqing, don't worry. I just stroll around and I can't leave the capital."

Lu Shizhong was relieved.

If emperor Wende decides to go out to play in the capital, he will definitely oppose it. Fighting for official positions, we should also stop Wende emperor.

How can you leave the capital at will. And it's still hiding from the courtiers.

If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

Lu Shi's middle and small shoulders can't afford such a consequence.

The carriage circled the bustling East and West markets. During this period, Wende Di also got off to shop several times, drank tea and a bowl of mutton soup.

He was almost killed by Chang Enlu and others.

What if mutton soup is poisonous? What if your majesty has a bad stomach?

Too much in case

Fortunately, none of this happened.

The usual bowl of mutton soup is warm.

After drinking a bowl of it, the sweat was on his forehead.

Wende said happily: "it's really out of season to drink mutton soup."

The weather is getting hotter, and soon the butcher has to stop his knife.

There will be no more mutton on on the market for the next few months.

We have to wait until autumn, until winter, when it is a good season to eat mutton and drink mutton soup.

It's also the season to slaughter lambs and buy cashmere.

Cashmere is more and more expensive!

With the popularity of cashmere clothing in the rich circle, the demand for cashmere clothing in Dazhou has increased.

Herdsmen on the grassland can earn a lot of money by selling cattle and sheep every year, and then buy salt, tea, iron pot, cloth, and even rice and noodles and other necessities of life.

With money, the herdsmen began to improve their lives by learning from the Zhou people.

The pancakes are delicious, the rice is delicious, and the food and wine are delicious.

There are also put spicy noodles, eat a few bowls, the gods will not change.

Wende ate very contentedly.

Wipe the sweat from your forehead and continue to hang out in the bazaar.

Chang en is helpless and can't help but turn to Lu Shizhong for help.

Lu Shizhong coughed softly and said in a low voice, "at the beginning, the Duke Chang should stop his majesty."

"We can't stop it. Since the death of the empress dowager, his majesty has been in a bad mood, even the harem. If you don't let your majesty vent it out, I'm afraid something more serious will happen. "

Lu Shizhong snorted and chased after the emperor. "Master, where are we going next?"

The emperor Wende had a plan, "go to the South City, go to the city wall. I've always heard that Nancheng has changed a lot. I'm going to see it in person. "

"This..."

"Can't you?" Emperor Wende looked at Lu Shizhong with a smile.

He shook his head again and again, "master, you'd better take a carriage. It's too far to walk. "

"You are right. I don't exercise as much as I did a few years ago. "

The party got into the carriage and went to the south city.

Nancheng has really changed a lot.

Baizhong has been operating Nancheng and transforming shantytowns.

Of course, because too many interests are involved and property rights are in chaos, one or two people are often involved in the property rights of a house or a foundation.

These people are property owners, one can imagine how troublesome it is.

Especially since the real estate development in Xinmin County, many people have realized that their shacks, the foundation under the shacks is a sweet cake, so some people set the price on the ground, some people ask for money for the house, some even ask for jobs, marriage, children's reading, corvee and so on.

There's no demand they can't think of.

Bai Zhong was made a big head.

Shantytowns in Beijing, not Xinmin county. There is only one landlord in Xinmin County, that is Gu Jiu.

Therefore, there is no property right dispute in Xinmin county.

The shack area in the capital city has greatly opened Bai Zhong's eyes.As a result, he had to slow down the transformation process of shantytowns.

The original three-year plan was changed into a five-year plan, and then it was changed into a ten-year plan.

With the chaos in the shack area, I'm afraid it will not be completed in ten years.

The carriage entered the south city.

On both sides of the street are newly built houses, all small two-story, one after another, black tiles and white walls, neat.

Wendedi sat in the carriage and nodded, "yes, yes. I used to pass by Nancheng. It's not like this. "

In front of the garden, he said, "we often plant flowers. When the villagers are all right, they will go there to bask in the sun and chat. "

"Is it?" Vander was very interested.

However, Lu Shizhong said: "I dare not deceive your majesty. The reconstruction of Nancheng is also better on both sides of this street. In other cities, little has changed. "

Emperor Wende frowned.

"Ai Qing means that Madame Zhao is fooling me?"

"I didn't mean that. According to Wei Chen's understanding, Nancheng side is extremely chaotic, property rights disputes are serious, and small people are starting prices. Those who are not brave can not completely change the appearance of Nancheng. I'm afraid that Madame Zhao will not last long. These are stubborn diseases. Without the intervention of the government, it is difficult to make great progress. "

Wende Di nodded, "so it is! I remember that Madame Zhao once made a statistics on Nancheng. There are millions of people living in Nancheng. Is this true or not? "

Lu Shizhong bowed slightly, "this should be true. In recent years, the conditions have been improved, and the population has only increased a lot. With the population of Xinmin County, I'm afraid the population of Nancheng has exceeded two million. "

"There are so many people in Beijing?" Wende Di was surprised and did not dare to believe it.

Lu Shizhong said: "in reply to your majesty, disasters have occurred frequently in various places in recent years, but the capital city has not suffered serious disasters because of the construction of water conservancy projects.

As a result, a large number of land lost and bankrupted victims poured into the capital to look for jobs. Some of them come from the northwest, some from the northeast, the southwest, and even some from the south of the five ridges. In the capital, as long as they have the strength to survive, women can also find work, so these victims have taken root in the capital and refused to return home.

In addition, it is well known that the capital is easy to find jobs and pay high wages. Therefore, many people will work in the capital during their leisure time.

What's more, he stayed in the capital all year round and worked with his family to earn money. After saving enough down payment, they don't go back home to buy land and houses. Instead, they buy houses and properties in Xinmin County for rent. According to Wei Chen's understanding, five thousand two-story buildings have been built in the sixth phase of Xinmin county.

Those who buy these small buildings are either small residents in the capital city or people from all over the capital. A small number of victims from other places will also choose to buy and rent their properties in Xinmin county. Because Madame Zhao restricted the rich families from robbing houses with the ordinary people, the rich families bought houses in phase VI, but only a few of them bought houses.

Wei Chen can say that because the imperial edict lady built houses for the small people, because Xinmin County, there are a large number of people pouring into the capital every year. The population of Nancheng has exceeded 2 million, which is not an exaggeration of Wei Chen. Wei Chen even boldly estimated that the population of Nancheng would exceed 3 million in a few years. "

After listening to Lu Shizhong's words, Emperor Wende frowned.

"Aiqing told me, is the situation good or bad?"

"There are good and bad," said Lu Shizhong seriously. The disadvantage of the increase in population is that it greatly increases the pressure of grain supply in the capital and the pressure on the warehouse. The basic reason for the increase in the number of Beijing warehouses required by the Ministry of housing is the population explosion.

However, the capital's land is limited and its output is not high. Increasing the capital warehouse means increasing the pressure of the local government. The imperial court had to spend more money to transport grain to the capital.

Secondly, the five city division of arms and horses, embroidery clothing guard pressure increased. More people are needed to maintain public order in the capital. With so many people concentrated in one place, once a dangerous situation or epidemic situation broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable. For example, during the period of the most serious disaster last year, to be honest with your majesty, at that time, Wei Chen was really worried about the outbreak of chaos in the capital because of insufficient food.

In the end, the population of Beijing is increasing. The capital has drained the population of countless counties and prefectures. Those counties and prefectures were drained of their population, but they still had to complete the rated taxes, grain collection and corvee. This will greatly increase the burden of the small people left behind in their hometown and cause more people to go bankrupt. In the end, the capital is fattened and the place is poor. "

Wende's brow was more and more severe.

"What about the benefits?"

"The benefits are in front of us!"

Lu Shizhong pointed to the outside of the carriage, "with the population explosion in the capital, more and more businesses choose to do business in the capital. The tax revenue of the imperial court increased year by year. This is the first big benefit. The second advantage is that the capital has supported so many bankrupt victims and poor people. If these people have money to eat, they won't become bandits and harm places. It lightened the great burden for the imperial court and relief pressure for the local government.

Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can they get married and have children, and the population of Dazhou will increase accordingly. At the same time, there will be more children born from small families to receive education. Ten or twenty years later, the court will have a new situation, which is a sign of prosperity.But we can't ignore the abuse of population explosion just for a little benefit. Wei Chen suggested that the local government's tax revenue, farmland, grain production and population statistics should be re approved. We should reduce the exploitation of local people. "

Wende Di suddenly laughed, "Ai Qing has a good idea, but this matter has a lot to do with it and needs to be considered for a long time. Ai Qing, why don't you accompany me to the city wall? "
