People are in the Tang Dynasty, creating a mythical dynasty

With 800 million hits, it would be nonsense to say that Li Ming had no idea.

800 million guan, he believes, is enough to rapidly improve the national power of the entire Tang Dynasty, even enough to advance to the second level.

Compared with the so-called Hubu Shangshu, Da Si Nong.

This is what he cares most about.

And his utterance made Li Shimin, who was originally pondering, cast his gaze over again at this moment.

Chapter 54 To Datang Infrastructure

"Oh? How to spend the money?!"

Looking at Li Ming, a smile appeared on Li Shimin's face, and he spoke with ease.

800 guan.

Li Ming gave him too much profit this time, so when Li Ming spoke, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel interested.

"Yes, father, these 800 million guan are only money if they are spent, otherwise they are just useless metal."

Li Ming nodded, with a serious answer.

And listening to his words, both Pei Juzu and Li Shimin had expressions of surprise.

"His Royal Highness, what do you say?"

Pei Juzu was the first to ask involuntarily.

"Father, Mr. Pei, coins are the product of commodity exchange. They are commodities separated from the commodity world in the process of commodity exchange and fixedly serving as general equivalents. They are a kind of currency."

"Money is spent and transactions are generated, which can naturally form value and even promote transactions. Nowadays, Datang's currency is in short supply, and most of the people use cloth and silk, or even barter. If the 800 million coins can flow into the people quickly, it will be enough to make Datang Transactions have become smoother, and people's lives have become more prosperous."

Facing Pei Juzu's question, Li Ming nodded, and then answered softly.

The content of the discourse is the knowledge learned in the previous life.

Listening to Li Ming's narration, Pei Juzu and Li Shimin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Li Ming's words were very simple, and they could understand them.

Quickly figured out the key.

"His Royal Highness, the old man can understand what you mean, but how to spend the money, and if all the money is spent, it may cause the price of goods in the place to inflate, and the common people will not be able to live!"

Pei Juzu pondered for a moment and spoke hesitantly.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still knows a thing or two about basic economic common sense, and naturally knows that once the money flows into the people in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause inflation.

This point can be said to have a huge impact.

"Master Pei, large-scale expenditure will naturally be like this in one place, but if Datang builds some public facilities in the entire Ten Dao, then the money will naturally not be spent in one place."

Li Ming smiled.

The problem that Pei Juzu considered was naturally not a problem.

To spend money, of course you can't spend money like crazy in one place.

As for how to distribute money, there is no easier way to distribute money than infrastructure.

Moreover, infrastructure can not only distribute money, but also drive the development of various industries in Datang, people's livelihood, and economic improvement. After these improvements, Datang's national strength can also be improved.

What is the reason for the rapid development of Huaxia in later generations? Maybe everyone can give an answer, but no one can deny that the root cause of Huaxia's rapid development is the continuous infrastructure construction.

Because of the continuous infrastructure construction, the gross national economic product is constantly increasing, and these improvements have also led to the rapid development of other industries.

There are too many benefits that infrastructure can bring to stimulate the economy, stabilize prices, provide more jobs, and solve the economic problems of the poor.

Although there is no need for urbanization now, infrastructure can also solve the problems of most low-level people in Datang.

Especially if Li Ming's memory is not bad, from the first year of Zhenguan to the tenth year of Zhenguan, the entire Tang Dynasty can be said to be plagued by natural disasters. In this kind of situation, it is almost inevitable that a large number of refugees will appear, and how to deal with these refugees is undoubtedly a big problem. The problem.

Li Ming didn't know how his cheap daddy dealt with it in history.

But now, infrastructure is one of the best solutions.

As for infrastructure.

That's easy to say, straight roads, water conservancy, and canals.

These can all be built.

As for whether it will lead to the situation of the Sui Dynasty.

There is no need to worry at all. Datang is not learning from Emperor Yang of Sui and only making people work without giving money. feet in favor.

The only thing to consider.

That is whether the money can reach the hands of the people.

Fortunately, this is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, if it reaches the middle period, or even the late period.

Playing like this also has risks.

Tang Chu didn't have much of a problem in this regard.

In any dynasty, the executive power is the strongest in the early years.

And there is an idea in his mind, which is taking shape at this time.

Thoughts flowed, and now Li Shimin and Pei Juzu became more interested.

"King Wei, what are these so-called public facilities?"

Pei Juzu asked again.

"Public facilities are common buildings or objects provided by the imperial court for the common people to use or enjoy, such as the Zhidao in the Qin Dynasty and the Grand Canal opened by Emperor Yangdi."

Li Ming spoke out, explaining the public facilities to the two of them.

Listening to Li Ming's explanation, Li Shimin and Pei Juzu couldn't help but frown.

There's no way, Li Ming's example is really a bit fucked up.

Qin Dynasty II died, and so did the Sui Dynasty.

"Fourteen, is this too laborious and costly? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty inherited the rest of Emperor Wen's career, and if he could stay in Guanzhong all the time, would he be defeated? So he ignored the people and went to Jiangdu without accepting Dong Chun and Cui. Xiang waits for admonition, kills the country and destroys it, and laughs for the world."

"If my Tang Dynasty is like this again, I am afraid that the Sui Dynasty will be defeated!"

Li Shimin frowned.

Although Li Shimin knew that the main reason for the fall of the Sui Dynasty was not this, but there was actually a part of the reason for it. People's hearts and luck were scattered.

Without luck, there is no dynasty.

"Father, the construction mentioned by the sons and ministers is different from that of Emperor Yangdi. Yangdi abused the power of the people, which led to the disaster of the country's subjugation. If the construction of the Tang Dynasty was based on the money of the people, not the recruitment of labor, this is naturally not a problem."

"For example, the people recruited by the ministers will be based on the premise that they will not affect farming. They may be landless farmers or wealthy members of the family."

Li Ming opened his mouth and explained to Li Shimin.

In the Tang Dynasty, or in the feudal era, there is still a big problem in the construction of large-scale projects, that is, the farming season must be considered.

If not considered, it is easy to cause problems.

Fortunately, this is still ancient times, and there are actually quite a few slack periods for farming, usually in July and August, and from December to March and April of the next year.

The so-called slack season is the season when crops are not sown, grown, or harvested. This depends on the length of the severe cold time in various places, with the north being long and the south being short.

Now the center of the Tang Dynasty does not go deep into the south, so the slack time for farming is actually quite a lot.

Not only in July and August, the real busy season of farming every year even needs to reach around mid-April, and in some places it even needs to reach May and June to be the busy season of farming.

This undoubtedly provided him with a lot of time.

If these worlds are used well, he can naturally complete his ideas and plans.

Chapter 55 I am building a railway in Datang?

"Royal father, I don't have any shortage of money and food in the Tang Dynasty now!"

"During the nine years of the emperor's grandfather's reign, the country was prosperous and the people were safe. Now the production of the Tang Dynasty has basically resumed. In the second year of Sui Wendi's Renshou, he ordered the world to build the Changping warehouse. Now, the food in the Changping warehouse of the Tang Dynasty is still abundant. Although we have to face In the event of a catastrophe next year, water conservancy can be built, which is enough to prevent catastrophe."

"Furthermore, I have read the accounts. Among the 800 million guan, many of them are food, which can fully support my needs for the construction of the Tang Dynasty. I suggest that the initial goal is to build a 500 million-foot straight road in the Tang Dynasty."

Open your mouth amidst clanging words.

What he said made Pei Juzu and Li Shimin's bodies tremble uncontrollably.

"Five, five million feet!"

Pei Juzu's voice faltered a little.

But soon he seemed to think of something, and Pei Juzu looked at Li Ming.

He looked at Li Shimin again, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Your Highness, you, do you know how far 500 million zhang is, and the location of Chang'an in Nanyue is only about 40 zhang, but it took more than [-] years for the first emperor to use most of the Qin people's power to complete it."

Be careful with your words.

There is no way, his words are basically equivalent to saying that Li Ming does not know how to count.

But at this moment he really couldn't bear it.

"I know, "Historical Records? Qin Shihuang Ben o": "In 35 years, the road was removed, Dao Jiuyuan, arrived in Yunyang, cut mountains and valleys, and went straight to it. ""

"However, the time of the first emperor was not the same as that of my Tang Dynasty today. The two are not the same. Moreover, what the king needs for construction is not labor, but paid recruitment, and it is carried out during the slack period."

"And more importantly, it is not in a hurry. According to my prediction, it will take 20 years. In 20 years, I will completely understand the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty, and then it will take another 20 years, or even 50 years to complete the million years. Zhang straight road construction."

Faced with Pei Juzu's question, Li Ming was not angry.

Instead, he slowly explained.

It is impossible to penetrate the entire country in a short time in the future, let alone in this era.

So he made a 20-year plan.

Within 20 years, let the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty be thoroughly understood.

Although this is difficult, it is not a big problem.

After all, there is already a transportation system in the territory of Datang today, but now it is just expanding it.

20 years is enough time.

Naturally, the so-called five hundred long straight roads cannot be built overnight, and 20 years is not enough. If 20 years are not enough, 50 years may not be enough. (At this time there is no extraordinary natural slow)

Hearing Li Ming's explanation, Pei Juzu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li Ming would be illiterate, or be as eager for quick success as Emperor Sui Yang, and that the whole Tang Dynasty would be damaged.

Although Li Ming said that the money was paid, it was a paid recruitment, but this was also a loss of people's power. Once the loss was too much, then the Tang Dynasty was likely to lead to the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Pei Juzu breathed a sigh of relief.

But Li Shimin pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"Fourteen, 20 years to build straight roads is naturally necessary, but the method of building straight roads in Qin Dynasty has long been lost. I am afraid that this is not just a matter of money."

"Even in my Great Tang royal family, there are only some records, not complete records!"

There was a sigh in his voice, and there was also a look of regret in Li Shimin's expression.

There is no doubt about the benefits of Qin Zhidao.

In fact, the past dynasties wanted to build, and Han Wu had an idea, but obviously the technology has been lost, so that even if a thousand years have passed, no one in Qin Zhidao can reproduce it.

"Father, this is not difficult. My son has obtained a complete method of building straight roads from ancient books."

Li Ming spoke with a smile, his expression was very calm.

The so-called Qin Zhidao, he naturally knew what it was.

That's an ancient version of a railway.

The "railway" in the Qin Dynasty, whether it is sleepers or rails, has undergone anti-corrosion treatment, and the "railway" has been carefully designed.The distance between the sleepers and the sleepers is exactly the distance of a horse's step, which does not affect the rhythm of the horse running on it.Such an ingenious design has undoubtedly increased the speed of traffic to a large extent.

Even more ingeniously, because there is a height difference between the sleepers and the ground, and the horse needs to keep stable when running, so as long as the horse pulls the cart onto the road, it can only choose to step on the sleepers every step of the way. , There is no way to rest during the whole journey. There will be stations only after a certain distance. The stations are laid flat so that the horses can rest and replenish supplies.

There is almost no big difference from the railways of later generations, the only difference is that instead of trains running on the railways, horse-drawn carriages are used.

On this point, he obtained relevant information during his previous check-in.
