Chapter 110, The Rural Surrounding the City
Fang De smiled and said, "The true energy that can make people immortal has reached the body of the empress dowager. It will slowly improve the empress dowager's physique. In the next few years, the empress dowager will become younger and younger until all this energy is consumed. With this transformation, it will be no problem for the empress dowager to live past 150 years."
Later, Fang De said to Emperor Ling: "I am in Luoyang City, and Your Majesty is afraid that I will run away. Your Majesty can see the results in at most one month!"
Emperor Ling let Fang De go when he heard this.
Fang De said, "Your Majesty, are you taking away this money now?"
Once this was said, the mother and son who were still happy for their long life were ugly.
Emperor Ling said: "I sent someone to take him directly to the Prime Minister's mansion!"
Fang De smiled and said, "No need, just pull the Taicang treasury directly. Your Majesty's treasury is really empty, and it only took less than 3 months for 600 million yuan! Now it's empty again. With the Queen Mother's money comparison, it can support it for another 3 months!"
After saying that, Fang De left the palace!
Emperor Ling and Empress Dowager Dong looked at Fang De's back and looked at each other. They didn't expect Fang De to hand over the money to the national treasury. For a moment, even a thick-skinned person like Emperor Ling did not blush!
Grand Secretary Agricultural Office!
When Guo Fang saw Fang De coming here, he immediately stepped forward and cried, "I would like to ask the Prime Minister to lower the food of the two armies in the north and south! The national treasury is almost empty by them!"
He knew that the soldiers of the north and south armies had 100 yuan in food every day, and the jealousy of the wall was separated. He had never been worried about money when he became the Grand Sima, but these soldiers could eat and drink a lot, and they were really not a son of humanity.
Fang De said inexplicably: "The two armies of the north and south are all in the accounts of my Prime Minister's Mansion. What does it have to do with your Grand Secretary here!"
Guo Fang immediately said: "Now the imperial court is full of money-using places. The Yellow River has been flooding for several consecutive years. Instead of spending money on soldiers, it is better to repair the Yellow River embankment!"
Guo Fang, who has been saving money, can't stand Fang De's so spendthing, so he said this.
However, he was not talking nonsense about the emptiness of the treasury. Although Fang De gave him 600 million yuan last time, he gave him military funds to the border counties and filled the gaps over the years. He was basically spent. Fortunately, the summer harvest in June was not allowed to be empty to the treasury!
But Guo Fang felt that if he had this money and made the soldiers extravagant, it would be better to save money to repair the Yellow River embankment. The Han Dynasty had been unable to make ends meet during the period of Emperor Heng of the previous dynasty. The court could not increase revenue and could only reduce expenditures. He cut the money for the construction of the river embankment. In this way, the Yellow River embankment has not been repaired for decades. This is also the reason why the Yellow River will flood in recent years!
But Fang De was not fooled: "The Yellow River embankment is not easy to build. Without hundreds of thousands of people and tens of billions of dollars in money and food, it is impossible to build the Yellow River well!"
Guo Fang said: "Of course, it can't be done with major repairs, but it can still be done with minor repairs and small repairs. It doesn't cost much, just a few hundred million yuan!"
Fang De was speechless. Guo Fang still fell in love with his small treasury. He still had hundreds of millions of dollars, but Liuli had only sold him for 200 million yuan.
However, it is also a matter of building the Yellow River. Fang Dedao: "In the past two days, 1 billion yuan will be transported to Taicang. You have to keep an eye on it. You can use this money to build the Yellow River embankment and recruit more refugees!"
Guo Fang was stunned when he heard this. There was still someone who could take out money from the palace!
He sorted out his clothes, and then the other party was prostrated and kneeled down and said, "Prime Minister, if you are in the official uniform, you will definitely follow the Prime Minister's head in the future!"
This time he was really convinced. Fang De did not search the house this time, but took out money from the Ling Emperor. He has been a Ling Emperor's minister for more than ten years. Ling Emperor is simply a glutton, only entering and not leaving, but now he has broken his golden body here in Fang De. How could he not be convinced!
After leaving the Grand Secretary-General's office, Fang De began to take over the food and land in the hands of Emperor Ling and Empress Dowager Dong in the next few days.
However, although they have a lot of land in Luoyang City, there are also many of them in Luoyang City, Yuzhou, and their hometown Hejian!
Fang De said at the beginning that the land he wanted to concentrate! So Emperor Ling could only find his tycoons Cao Jie, Zhang Rang and others to coerce and induce them to exchange all their land in Luoyang City, and finally to Fang De! It became the land connected, adding up to one million acres! It can be said that it is the most essential land in the entire Luoyang City!
Fang De led Duan Yingjin, Xiaohei and Liu Bei and the third little girl excitedly, "This is the foundation of our career in Luoyang City!"
Duan Yingxian sighed: "Now I finally believe that you are the best at making money. This land combined exceeds 10 billion yuan. How long has it taken! The entire Han Dynasty does not make as much money as you alone!"
Luoyang City is the place with the highest land price in the entire Han Dynasty. One acre of land is nearly 20,000 yuan, and now the wheat price is only 100 yuan per stone. Fangde and other lands are the best land. You can collect 3 stones of wheat a year, and the total output is only 300 yuan per year. It will take decades to recover the capital. If you add the natural disasters and man-made disasters, don’t think about making a profit if you don’t have a hundred years. But even so, some people still want to buy land crazily, but there is no landlord like Fangde in the entire Luoyang City.
Fang De said to Liu Bei, Yan Rou and Zhao Yun: "You are just as old as you are in the officialdom, so I will leave this village to you. Liu Bei, you are the rank of the husband, Yan Rou, you are the vassal, Zhao Yun, you are the lieutenant!"
Guo Xiaohei threw out several books and said, "This is a book about farming. You must read it carefully and try to build this place into a granary in Luoyang!"
Liu Bei and others said happily: "We will not let down the Prime Minister's promotion!"
There are tens of thousands of people here, equivalent to a large county. They said they were the township chiefs, but they did the same thing as the county magistrate. And they were still near Luoyang City, so they were naturally happy, especially Liu Bei, who originally planned to return to Youzhou to be a minor official, but now he plans to take his mother to Luoyang City.
Later, Fang De said to Duan Yingyan: "Liu Bei and others are young. Brother Ji Ming finds a way to recruit a group of veterans to help them!"
Duan Yingxian said: "I will give them 100 veterans to ensure that they will obey the people here!"
Fang De thought for a while and said, "One hundred is not enough. I plan to replace the entire Luoyang urban and rural pavilions with our people. Zhishoufu, the township assistant used the subordinates I had last exam, and the pavilion chief used the veterans in Ji Ming's hands. In this way, the foundation of the entire Luoyang city will be controlled by us, so Ji Ming would be better off getting thousands of veterans this time!"
Then Fang De looked at the land and said, "Especially here, veterans who can train soldiers should be selected. This million acres of land can be resettled with tens of thousands of households. Each household will be given a tiny army of tens of thousands of people! This is our trump card for key things!"
