"Oh? How to spend the money?!"

Looking at Li Ming, Li Shimin had a smile on his face and spoke with ease.

Eight million strings.

The benefits Li Ming gave him this time were too huge, so when Li Ming opened his mouth, Li Shimin couldn't help but become interested.

"Yes, Father, these eight million dollars are money only if they are spent, otherwise they are just useless metal."

Li Ming nodded and gave a serious answer.

Listening to his words, Pei Juzu and Li Shimin both had a look of surprise in their expressions.

"Your Highness King Wei, what do you say?"

Pei Juzu took the lead and couldn't help asking.

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

"When money is spent, transactions are generated, which naturally creates value and even promotes transactions. Nowadays, money is in short supply in the Tang Dynasty. Most people use cloth or even barter. If these eight million yuan can quickly flow into the people, it will be enough to make money.

Transactions in the Tang Dynasty became smoother and people's lives became more prosperous."

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

The content of the words is the knowledge learned in previous lives.

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

Li Ming's words are very simple and they can understand them.

I quickly figured out the key.

"Your Highness, King Wei, I can understand what you mean, but how should this money be spent? And if it is all spent, I am afraid it will cause the price of goods in the place to inflate, and the people will not be able to make a living!"

Pei Juzu pondered for a moment and spoke with hesitation.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he still knows a thing or two about basic economic common sense. Naturally, he knows that once this money flows into the private sector in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause inflation.

This point can be said to have a huge impact.

"Sir Pei, large-scale expenditures on one place will naturally be like this. But if Datang builds some public facilities in the entire ten roads, then naturally this money will not be spent on one place."

Li Ming smiled and spoke.

The problem Pei Juzu was considering was naturally not a problem.

You have to spend money, but of course you can’t spend money crazy in one place.

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

Moreover, infrastructure construction can not only generate money, but also promote the development of various industries, people's livelihood, and economic improvement throughout Datang. After these improvements, Datang's national strength will also be improved.

What is the reason why China can develop rapidly in later generations? Maybe everyone can give an answer, but it is undeniable to anyone that the fundamental reason for China's rapid development is the continuous infrastructure construction.

Precisely because of the continuous infrastructure construction, the national economic output is constantly increasing, and these improvements have also driven the rapid development of other industries.

There are so many benefits that infrastructure can bring by stimulating the economy, stabilizing prices, providing more jobs, and solving the economic problems of people in need.

Although there is no need for urbanization now, infrastructure can also solve the problems of most lower-class 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 have been plagued by natural disasters. It is almost inevitable that there will be a large number of refugees, and how to deal with these refugees is undoubtedly a big problem.

question.

Li Ming didn't know how his cheap dad 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, canals.

These can all be constructed.

As for whether it would lead to the situation in the Sui Dynasty.

There is no need to worry at all. The Tang Dynasty did not follow the example of Emperor Sui Yang who only made people work without paying them, nor did they collect labor. Instead, it was based on the situation of workers in later generations. I believe that most ordinary people would raise their hands.

Feet agree.

The only thing to consider.

That is whether this money can get into the hands of the people.

Fortunately, this is the early Tang Dynasty, if it reaches the middle period, or even the later period.

Playing this way also has risks.

In the early Tang Dynasty, this aspect was not a big problem.

In any dynasty, execution is the most powerful in the early years.

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

Thoughts were flowing, and at this time Li Shimin and Pei Juzu became even more interested.

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

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 straight roads of the Qin Dynasty and the Grand Canal opened by Emperor Yang."

Li Ming spoke aloud and explained the public facilities to the two of them.

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

No way, Li Ming’s example is really fucked up.

The second generation of the Qin Dynasty died, and so did the Sui Dynasty.

"Fourteen, is this too much work for the people and money? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty inherited the legacy of Emperor Wen and established Yinfu in the sea. If he could always stay in Guanzhong, how could he be defeated? So he ignored the people and had no hope of success. He went to Jiangdu and did not accept Dong Chun and Cui.

The elephant waits for remonstrance, kills the country, and makes the world laugh."

"If we, the Tang Dynasty, do this again, we may be defeated by the Sui Dynasty!"

Li Shimin frowned and spoke.

Although Li Shimin knew that the main reason for the fall of the Sui Dynasty was not this, but it actually had a part of the reason. The people's hearts and minds were scattered, and their fortunes were scattered.

Without luck, there will be no dynasty.

"The construction mentioned by the father and the son is different from that of Emperor Yang. Emperor Yang abused the people's power and led to the disaster of the country. If the construction of the Tang Dynasty was based on people's money instead of labor and conscription, this would naturally not be a problem."

"For example, the people recruited by my ministers will be on the premise that they will not affect farming, and they will either be landless farmers or wealthy people in their families."

Li Ming opened his mouth to explain to Li Shimin.

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

If you don't consider it, it can easily lead to problems.

But fortunately, this is still ancient times, and there is actually a lot of slack time 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 time when crops are not sown, grown or harvested. This depends on the length of severe cold in each place, which is longer in the north and shorter in the south.

Nowadays, the center of the Tang Dynasty does not go deep into the south, so there is actually a lot of leisure time for farming.

Not only July and August, the real busy season for farming is around mid-April every year. In some places, it is even until May and June.

This undoubtedly provided him with a lot of time.
