Chapter 454 Bought it myself

This letter from Li Xiang was written directly to Li Shimin. If the landowners in the mainland are not willing to come over, Li Xiang is willing to buy the land himself. Of course, the price cannot be too high. He will give the court one hundred and fifty per year. If the people in Jiangbei are unhappy, then the people in Jiangnan will be used to make up for it.

After Li Xiang finished writing this letter, Su Dingfang thought that she had read it wrong. What did Li Xiang want these emperors to do? She originally thought that it was just a matter of tricking the landowners into investing. How could she invest in these places by herself? This is 1.5 million yuan, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the income of the Tang Dynasty. Throwing this money in a place like this, and it is money to burn every year, isn't it?

However, Li Xiang didn't have the time to explain to him, so he directly ordered someone to deliver the letter to the capital. As long as Li Shimin approves it, then a large amount of cultivated land on the Northeast Plains will belong to us. Of course, we can only say that the emperor is now , but if there are 500,000 Goguryeo people, then sooner or later this place will turn into Beidacang. It will just cause more people to die. Anyway, the people who died are all Goguryeo people. What do we have to be afraid of?

Qinzheng Hall in Chang'an City.

"What do you think this kid is thinking about? Although that piece of land has a lot of arable land, it is not worth the price. This is 1.5 million yuan a year. If it is really rented, If you give it to him, it will be equivalent to one-tenth more income for the court every year, which is not a small amount."

Li Shimin put the letter on Fang Xuanling's desk. He really couldn't understand it. He hoped that Fang Xuanling could help him analyze it. Changsun Wuji, who was next to him, also came over, but the expression on his face was different from that of Fang Xuanling. Like Li Shimin, this expression is not fake. Although Changsun Wuji and Li Xiang are very close, and there are many cooperative businesses between the two, Changsun Wuji really wants to buy so much wasteland with so much money. I don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Xiang’s gourd.

Fang Xuanling also took this letter and read it again and again. His Highness Taisun's ability to turn stone into gold was known throughout Chang'an City.

He would never engage in a loss-making business, just like the Tuyuhun Grassland back then. Many people thought that they might lose money, but now they have made a lot of money. Of course, only Wu Xing and Qi Wang lost money.

"Is it possible that Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has too much money in his hands, and is afraid of arousing your concerns, so he adopts such a method to increase income for the court in disguise, but at the same time, His Majesty does not want to lose too much. There are so many, so you want to take over these lands?”

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't figure out what Li Xiang wanted to do. If there was any idea, this might be the only way to say it.

Fang Xuanling's words are a bit untenable. Li Xiang has not been rich for a day or two. Except for the two million yuan he paid to Li Shimin at the beginning, the rest of the time he can only get in and out. Especially when Li Shimin is looking for trouble, even if the Ministry of Revenue wants a copper plate, it must be paid according to the contract.

But if that wasn't the case, why would Li Xiang want such a large piece of wasteland? It's not like Li Shimin has never been there before. There is a large area of ​​wasteland, the height of the grass can bury people, and there are forests everywhere. After entering, it is impossible for him to get out without the help of local people.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you think?"

Li Shimin glanced sideways at his uncle. If it had been the original time, Changsun Wuji would definitely have been ranked ahead of Fang Xuanling, because Changsun Wuji had the highest trust level. But after this series of After the incident, Changsun Wuji had moved behind Fang Xuanling, but he was still one of Li Shimin's most important think tanks.

"It's hard to explain this matter, but there is a way to make His Majesty invincible."

Changsun Wuji knew that the time to test himself had come again, so he had to give Li Shimin an idea, otherwise the whole family might be in trouble. After Changsun Pingting returned to the capital, there was a lot of gossip in the capital.

But later these people discovered that when such gossip spread from someone's mouth, someone would always deal with them, so these people shut their mouths. Changsun Wuji did not send anyone out, and Li Shimin would never do it. Regardless of these trivial matters, Changsun Pingting knew that it must be Li Xiang's credit.

"Tell me what we can do?"

Li Shimin became interested as soon as he heard this. You must know that he suffered a lot of losses at the hands of Li Xiang. If he could remain invincible, this would indeed be a great achievement.

"Your Majesty, don't ask for his rent. Convert it into shares and put it in it. No matter what he does in Liaodong, you want one-third of his harvest."

After Changsun Wuji said what he said, half of the smile on Li Shimin's face disappeared. According to Li Shimin's idea, he really wanted this 1.5 million yuan. After all, the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo cost a lot of money. Yes, I won’t let myself ask for this money now, but there is no prospect of the job that Li Xiang wants to do. How can this be done?

"This is a good idea, but if this is the case, the imperial treasury will still not be full. Although there is more income from Tuyuhun this year, it still has to support the expenses on the Goguryeo battlefield. By the end of the year, Tang Jian is expected to come again. Complained.”

Li Shimin frowned when he thought of that annoying guy who didn't appeal to each other. That guy reminded him every day that he had no money. Li Shimin wanted to throw him directly into the prison, but Li Shimin couldn't do that. After all, that guy This guy maintains the operation of the entire Datang Dynasty. Although many things have been difficult in recent years, he is definitely a master of financial management. If it were another person, Datang Finance would probably be in danger of bankruptcy.

"Weichen also thinks that Lord Changsun is right. Although one and a half million dollars a year is a lot of money, it can't solve much of a problem for us. But if there is a lot of profit here, then we can Get 30% of it."

Fang Xuanling also felt that Changsun Wuji was right. If it were him, he would definitely give up the money and then invest in any of Li Xiang's projects.

Seeing that Li Shimin was deep in thought, the two of them stopped talking. That night, three carrier pigeons from Chang'an City flew out, carrying a reply to Li Xiang. Li Shimin only needed one million yuan. As for the remaining 500,000 yuan, Li Shimin will convert it into shares, and Li Xiang will pay him regular dividends every year...
