Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 251 Construction Funds
"The modernization of Ming Dynasty is basically like this. If you adults have any questions, you can ask them, and I will answer them one by one."

After Chen Fan finished speaking, the scene fell into lively discussion again.

Everyone discussed extremely intensely.

This kind of planning and construction also makes everyone excited, and they can't wait to start building a modern capital right away.

"National Teacher, with such a scale of construction, I am afraid that the funds required are unimaginable?"

Yang Chengye, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is most concerned about financial issues. Such a huge construction plan requires a huge amount of funds.

Chen Fan nodded and said:
"Of course, not to mention anything else, just for the modernization of the capital, I plan to invest 100 trillion to completely transform the capital."

How many?

100 trillion?

The scene lost its voice in an instant, and everyone was speechless for a long time.

What kind of number is this?
They have never heard of it, although 100 trillion they have no intuitive feeling.

But I also know that to spread so much money all over the capital, it would be three feet thick to say the least.

Everyone was very moved, the construction of the capital was all paved with real money.

"The national teacher really is a big deal! 100 trillion taels of silver is simply unimaginable. I'm curious. If you hollow out Daming, you can't find so much silver, right?"

Although Li Banghua admired Chen Fan's big move, he was also surprised that even if all the silver in the world was concentrated in Daming, it wouldn't be 100 trillion taels, would it?

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, he didn't make it clear, everyone seems to have misunderstood.

"The 100 trillion yuan is not silver, it is the currency unit of Huaguo. Converted into silver, it is about 1000 billion taels of silver."

After Chen Fan finished explaining, everyone gasped, silently speechless.

1000 million taels?

They can no longer imagine the scale.

"Everyone must have heard that 1000 billion taels of silver is not so much even if the world is dug through. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of capital construction and implementing the currency reform along the way, if Ming wants to develop and grow, it must There must be Ming’s own currency.”

"Master Yang has to worry about this matter. For convenience, I suggest that the currency exchange rate be set at 1:1 at the beginning, and one Ming Yuan can be exchanged for one Chinese Yuan."

Regarding the currency reform, Yang Chengye, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, still needs to push forward. This is a huge project. I hope Yang Chengye can complete it smoothly!
Yang Chengye nodded thoughtfully. He also expected the currency reform.

The capital needed for the modernization of the capital is 100 trillion yuan, and the Ming Dynasty does not have that much gold and silver.

Therefore, it is inevitable to implement the new monetary policy of Ming Dynasty.

"Everyone thinks that 100 trillion is a lot, but don't forget that this is the funds needed for the ten-year construction of Beijing's modernization. On average, it is only 10 trillion per year. To carry out a large-scale infrastructure construction, one year's The budget could be gone."

"Not to mention the construction of other public facilities, the construction of the subway line covering the entire capital will cost several trillion yuan."

In Chen Fan's opinion, it is worthwhile to embezzle so much funds to build the subway.

Chen Fan plans to build 50 subway lines alone, and there are at least tens of thousands of subway entrances covering the entire capital.

In order to facilitate the travel of 5000 million people, Chen Fan invested in infrastructure at any cost.

So many subways are built to make it easier for people to travel and reach anywhere in the capital.

Seeing that everyone's discussion is almost over, Chen Fan finally concluded:
"The general construction plan of the capital is like this. This is just the overall plan. The specific implementation plan still needs your attention. In order to build the capital into a modern and prosperous scene, I will ask you all."

During the modernization of the capital, Chen Fan played more of a chief designer role, guiding the direction of everyone's construction.

As for the specific details, the comprehensive development of Daming's mineral resources, how to move farmers from all over the country to the capital, all these specific policies will be completed by these ministers.

"The national teacher is polite, this is what we should do."

"The national division has pointed out the direction of the capital planning, and the rest of the specific implementation details are left to us all."

Everyone patted their chests and promised that the capital will be built into a prosperous and beautiful city.

Hearing what everyone said, Chen Fan nodded slightly.

With everyone's awareness so high, he can save a lot of trouble.

"National teacher, when will we move the farmers from all over the country to the capital and start building a modern capital?"

Pei Yuanqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't wait. He wished he could build the capital right away.

when?
Chen Fan thought for a moment.

"Wait, when the time is right, you can start migrating the population."

Pei Yuanqing didn't understand.

"What does the national teacher mean when the time is ripe?"

Chen Fan explained:
"It's October now. When the next spring begins, there will be a high probability of drought again, causing the people to go out to flee famine. By then, it will be much easier to move them to the capital. This is the best time."

Over the past decade or so in Daming, various disasters occurred every year, forcing the common people to die.

The most serious of these is the drought.

There was a severe drought all over the world, and the crops were not harvested.

In order to survive, the common people had to go out to flee famine.

According to the disaster situation in Daming in the past few years, Chen Fan predicts that there will be another severe drought in the next year.

Only at that time is the best time to move the common people to the capital.

Pei Yuanqing nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, when a drought occurs, the common people will be at a loss, and this is the moment when they are most at a loss.

At this time, announce the policy of the imperial court and tell them that the imperial court is not only willing to pay a high price to buy their land, but also willing to provide them with a high-paying job.

Presumably the common people will be very happy to sell their land and move to the capital to settle down!

Pei Yuanqing admired the national teacher very much, the timing of the national teacher was too accurate.

"So, in the next few months, I hope that you adults will formulate a specific plan for the construction of the capital. When the time is right, you can start the population migration plan and officially start the large-scale construction of the capital."

Chen Fan finally reminded everyone that there is not much time left.

The drought is only a few months away.

We need to formulate specific plans for population migration within these few months.

Prepare in advance so that you won't be in a hurry when the time comes.

As soon as the disaster happens, people can be arranged to move to the capital.

"National Teacher, don't worry, we will work out a population migration plan as soon as possible in the next few months."

Li Banghua took the lead in making a guarantee.
