oh? It turns out that you, Quan Wanji, never believed me, so you directly bypassed the King of Shu in Qizhou and asked the court for disaster relief money.
"Very good. It seems that you don't need me as the King of Shu. I'll leave Qizhou to you. I'm going back to the backyard. You can do what you want!"
This is not a tantrum. Li Ke has done many good things for Qizhou since he became king of Shu, but these people don't help him, especially Quan Wanji, who he likes and is too loyal to the court.
The whole place fell into silence. It wasn't that they didn't want to embarrass everyone, but that a group of undercover people around Li Ke were restrained in doing things. In addition, the court had many restrictions. It was better to speak clearly now and maintain the superficial appearance. Peace.
Quan Wanji was also in a dilemma, mainly because he could not be loyal to the imperial court and the King of Shu at the same time. Although they were both from the old Li family, the person who succeeded the throne was not Li Ke, and no one knew that Changsun Wuji had deep roots in the imperial court. He wanted to maintain Li Chengqian's status. It can be seen from the urgent summons to Beijing that Changsun Wuji would not allow Li Ke to make some political achievements.
Gu Shiniang is teaching some talking skills to her girls. The jealousy is also carefully planned. At present, the only ones Li Ke can trust are these women. They are a group of vulgar fans who are rejected by Quan Wanji. When Licheng is rebuilt later, , they also need to continue to collect some information that is beneficial to themselves.
Sometimes I really feel that it would be better to just be an idle prince. I don’t have to worry about anything and leave it to the people in the court. Wouldn’t it be better to travel around?
Huhuhu~, the sound of waving sticks broke into the yard. The women seemed to be used to it. When they got closer, they found out that it was Qingcui who had been rescued in Erlong Mountain before. She still had a look of despair on her face before, but now she is dancing. The stick does look a bit like Mulan, but I don’t know who the prototype of Mulan is.
"No need to salute. Who did you learn stick skills from?"
This was also knowingly asking. Gu Shiniang said everything. Li Ke just wanted to test whether the rescued woman could believe it or not. He could only try to find out the thoughts of everyone around him, not wanting to be harmed by a white-eyed wolf. die.
Qingcui pulled up her sleeves and felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the man. On the night of the fire in Licheng, she just couldn't bear to see a woman being raped. However, when she met someone with a little bit of martial arts, she couldn't resist it. So did her martial arts. I learned it from peeping.
"Your Majesty, there are so many women in the house and they need someone to protect them. Please let me learn more skills and protect them for you!"
Qingcui no longer calls herself a woman, and thinks that the women in the Prince of Shu's palace are only for pleasure.
"It's okay. If they want to leave or stay, I won't do anything. But you, if you want to learn kung fu well, do you want someone to teach you?"
Li Ke didn't see Qingcui acting as an undercover agent at all. It was normal for the palace to have a woman. He just didn't want such a woman to be slandered, so he took the initiative to find someone to teach him some more practical kung fu. In the prosperous times, there were also injustices. thing.
After thanking him, he was left alone in the yard. It seemed that it was difficult to establish so-called trust between people all of a sudden, even the woman looking for protection.
Idle time was also idle, so Li Ke began to study the matter of 'city construction'. There were too many places in the inner city that had become ruins, and no money had been received at all, but he still wanted to re-plan the city of Licheng. scale.
For a house made of wood, let alone deliberate arson, even if there is thunder or heavy rain all night, something will happen. Even if there are ancient firefighters, they cannot deal with such a big fire. Changing the structure of the building is A big problem.
Chang'an City is the largest international metropolis in the world. I don't know what Constantinople was like at that time, but the layout of these two megacities can avoid many problems. They are both cities that are getting bigger all the time. In terms of it, it completely destroyed the small eighteenth-tier cities like Licheng.
Originally, Li Ke's plan was to build Licheng into the economic center of Qizhou. In ancient times, the gap between cities was not very big, and Qizhou also had many seaport cities. Therefore, in the initial planning, it was planned to lower the cost of Licheng. The business tax and the expansion of official roads to various places are just to give it some foundation to become a town second only to Chang'an City.
The fire failed to stop the repair of the official road. There are many things that need to be taken into account in the reconstruction of Licheng. Most of the burned places were private houses and scattered markets. Li Ke was going to be an engineer for a time, but the first thing was to resettle a large number of refugees. , and these people have land titles, and the land belongs to them.
"How much money could they save if they didn't live in the inner city."
The biggest expenditure for reconstruction is the construction of houses. Even 50 million taels cannot produce so many houses to accommodate people, and the cost of reconstruction is too high. If Li Ke can persuade them to move to the outer city or give up the land in the inner city, Reconstruction costs are estimated to be manageable.
But land has been a very precious resource since ancient times. No one is willing to sell the houses accumulated by their ancestors at low prices. Houses in the inner city are more valuable, and even wooden houses can be sold at a good price, so refugees are unwilling to leave. I would rather set up a tent in the original ruins than go outside.
Fifty million taels can't buy much land. The cement produced by Li Ke can be put to use, but if it is used to build houses for free, it feels like a loss no matter how you think about it.
People in ancient times did not have high requirements for houses. As long as they could accommodate the whole family, they were sure to be sturdy and durable. Wood was a cheap building material. Rich people basically built villas in outer cities to live in. If they stayed in the city, it might be their ancestors' old houses. , poor relatives lived there.
Craftsmen from all over the country are waiting for the special funds from the imperial court. After the fire, there are more business opportunities. However, Li Ke did not bring any engineering books with him when he traveled across the country. He became a local real estate businessman in the name of the King of Shu. What a person it was. It's a cool thing, but it's a pity that there are too many things to consider at the moment.
If you want to build cheap houses in large quantities, you must get land cheaply. Even refugees with nothing can bargain. Everyone knows that land in the inner city is particularly valuable, so the first step is to find a way to use the land in the inner city. Prices come down.
The money must be given, but it was not said that it would be given in one go. On the original Licheng city layout map, Li Ke also planned various areas according to the scale of Chang'an. However, there are no residential areas in them. What needs to be done is Let the inner city become the commercial center of Licheng. If there are more places to do business, there will be more places to collect taxes.
Chang'an City can attract all nations to come to the DPRK because there is business there, especially since there are so many countries along the way between the master and the Tang Dynasty. They have a lot of demand for silk and porcelain. Qizhou Licheng must seize this opportunity. OK.
