Chapter 6 Director of Daxingcheng Development Zone

 "Prince, please go back first. People will come to you about the minting of coins."

Yang Yong is a little reluctant, but he doesn't dare to stay for a long time. The Daxing City project is a hot potato. He doesn't want to do it, but he doesn't want to give it to Yang Guang. It's typical that if he doesn't want it, he can't ask for it from others.

Although he thinks the Daxing City project should be difficult to complete, what if Yang Guang succeeds?

It was obvious that he was fat, but for some reason Yang Yong always felt that he was dejected when he left the palace, as if he was 10% behind others.

After Yang Yong left, Yang Jian asked Yang Guang: "Amo, Daxing City is the future capital and you can't be careless at all. My father is very happy that you are willing to take over Daxing City, but I will personally supervise the handling of Daxing City."

This is Yang Jian's own idea. He will not rest assured if anyone makes the decision in Daxing City. He will always follow him. Today is a test of his son. It was originally a test of Yang Yong, and Yang Yong's opinion also represents

The final opinions of the prince group.

What surprised him most today was Yang Guang's words: "Every time comes, heaven and earth are united."

"Of course it would be best if my father could take care of it himself."

"Amo, tell me what you think about Daxing City."

Yang Guang was about to talk about the Daxing City project when he talked to Li Jing in the morning, but now he was full of ideas and started talking to Yang Jian.

"Daxing City completely separates the imperial palace and the imperial city from other parts. Within the scope of the outer city, the whole city is divided into 109 squares and two east and west cities with 25 crisscrossing streets. There are buildings around the squares.

There is no problem with the square walls, four gates, and cross streets within the square. The cross streets and smaller cross alleys divide the whole square into 16 districts."

"I think the overall layout is very good, but there are two things that I think can be done first."

"What happened?"

"The first is sewage, and the second is selling land."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Yang Jian was quite curious when he heard Yang Guang's words, because no one had mentioned this matter to him, especially the second one. No one had ever discussed this matter with him in the court.

"The first is sewage. The old Chang'an City has been in decay for a long time. The palaces in the city have become rotten, and the water supply and drainage are seriously blocked. The sewage often accumulates without being discharged. As a result, domestic water is often polluted, and the water quality is salty and difficult to drink. However, Daxing City has been renovated.

The future population of Daxing City is estimated to be 700,000 to 800,000 or even an exaggerated one million. The amount of sewage produced by such a large number of people will inevitably be huge. Currently, the sewage removal plan in Daxing City is planned.

Its functions are far from enough."

"In the future, if the population of Daxing City exceeds 400,000, or perhaps 300,000, the sewage problem that plagued Chang'an will also plague Daxing City. Daxing City is where the imperial palace of the Sui Dynasty is located, and sewage must not flow across the city, making it dirty and messy."

Hearing what Yang Guang said, Yang Jian nodded involuntarily.

"Is there any solution?"

"Father, if possible, build pipelines underground in Daxing City as sewage channels to connect various urban areas, and finally discharge the sewage to the three rivers around the city, Ba, Chan, and Ji, to prevent sewage from falling into the city."

Yang Jian thought for a while and frowned slightly: "Daxing City itself is extremely expensive. If we really want to build pipelines under the city, the assets used will have to increase a lot."

"Yes, but father, since we are going to build it, we must build the best one."

Yang Guang is very confident. Historically, the main construction of Daxing City was completed in only ten months. Yang Jian used the whole country to build the capital in his mind.

The First Emperor wanted his Afang Palace, and Yang Jian wanted his Daxing City. As emperors with lofty ideals, they both had to carry out large-scale construction projects.

The overall plan has been decided before. The sewage pipeline will significantly increase the budget. Yang Jian still needs some time to consider it, and he also has to talk to the chief engineer in charge of the project to finalize the plan.

Yang Guang could tell that Yang Jian still cared about the budget very much. After all, the current budget was already the largest budget he could come up with.

"Father, I have a way to solve part of the budget."

"Oh? What can I do?"

"That's the second important thing I just mentioned, selling land."

"Daxing City has not yet been built, how to sell land?"

People in ancient times were still honest. They had to build it and then sell it. How could they cheat... and make money?

"Father, Daxing City does not necessarily have to be built entirely with money from the imperial court."

"How do you say this?"

Yang Guang eloquently said: "Daxing City will be the future imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty. It will be the most prosperous capital city in the future. People, ministers, and traders will all live in it. My father, the most valuable thing about Daxing City is actually the people inside the city."

As Daxing City becomes more and more prosperous, the price of these lands will rise. Even though the ministers are now opposed to the construction of Daxing City, as long as the palace is built and your father moves the palace to Daxing City, then the price of land in Daxing City will be higher.

It will be at least double what it is now.”

"We actually don't need such a high budget now, and we don't need to build all the facilities. Instead, we need to quickly lay the sewage pipes, build the palace and the east and west cities, and do the basic things well. Doesn't it matter, Minister?"

Can we still live in the old Chang'an City and go out to the palace every day at midnight? Wouldn't the traders want to live closer to a good market?"

"They don't need to pay after seeing the house. What they buy is an investment in the future."

Yang Jian suddenly realized that the budget issue he had been worried about was not a problem at all for Yang Guang, because in Yang Guang's view, the construction of Daxing City was a long-term project, and there was no point in building it all at once, but it would drain the treasury.<

/p>

Selling land while building, or even selling land before construction, using the money from land sales to build, with the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty and the prosperity of the economy, there is no guarantee that the city will make more money as it builds.

"Father, let me give you a simple example. Once the palace and the imperial city are built, the land surrounding this circle will be valuable, because it is close to the palace. You can come to court every day when you walk out.

, Who are these places sold to? To the great Yuan Dynasty people of the current dynasty, the Zhuguo, generals, prime ministers, etc., there are natural geographical advantages, and we can build buildings, or just sell the land without building buildings.

If you are selling land, plan that the house here must be large.”

Yang Jian asked puzzledly: "An overly large mansion will compress the space and reduce the habitable population."

"Father, things are rare and valuable. This circle is the closest to the imperial city and the most high-end place. It is necessary to reduce the number of houses. What is the value of letting the ministers have one house? If the number is small, everyone will

Rob, if you rob, it will be valuable, and if it is valuable, the treasury will be filled."

Yang Jian couldn't help but nodded: "Good idea."

This was the first time that Yang Jian heard the principle of making money from ministers, nobles and nobles in such an honest way. Looking at Yang Guang who spoke so eloquently, he could not restrain his joy.

"In addition to the best location in this circle, the other two most important places in the city are the East and West markets. The imperial city is the center of politics. Ministers and courtiers will try their best to get close to the imperial city, while the market is where ordinary people

The houses next to the two markets are completely different from the traders' trading centers. They need to be small, numerous, and cheap. Especially for the first batch of buyers, it must be cheap enough to allow the traders to gather quickly.

Let the trading in the city be lively."

"After the excitement started, the surrounding land parcels that were originally not very valuable were redeveloped, and the value increased again, even higher than the initial sales price of the good land parcels, and the Sui Dynasty's treasury was filled."

Yang Jian asked: "The houses next to the market were very expensive in the old city of Chang'an. How come they are so cheap in the new city?"

"Father, businessmen are pursuing profits. The old market already has economies of scale. It can be transformed slowly in the future, but it will inevitably take a long time. The easiest way to attract people is to be cheap, and ordinary people may be able to save one house in their lifetime.

When money is expensive, you would rather not move. In the Sui Dynasty, commerce was developed, and merchants had money, but they were also very careful with their budgets. Merchants are different from wealthy families, wealthy families want face, and merchants want to be cost-effective."

"In addition to low prices, there is also an excellent way to encourage vendors to move there, which is also a means to push up housing prices in Daxing City in the future."

"What?"
