The ninth year of Shenwu has finally arrived.

If we roughly calculate, the Northern Song Dynasty has been inundated for nearly two years, which means that the Tang Dynasty has occupied the north for two years, and the prefectures and government offices in various places have been organized. In other words, the Tang Dynasty has initially established a rule.

Next, we must make the rule deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only the imperial examination can only be regarded as encouraging middle and upper class people. Without a stable rule, as well as tax cuts and service cuts, the people at the bottom do not recognize it.

After the Lantern Festival, a large amount of festive atmosphere remained in Bianliang City, and people were immersed in this atmosphere and couldn't extricate themselves.

The whole world is constantly transporting money and grain, and specialties are entering Bianliang, which has made Bianliang, a commercial city with a large population, flourish. Especially the upcoming imperial examination for Jinshi, which will be held in April, has added a large number of consumers.

However, Li Jia was not concerned about this scene and was even quite terrified.

Nothing else, the city of Bianliang is congenital deformed.

It was originally a commercial city that was formed by the canal, and was then designated as the capital. The city was crowded and the planning was chaotic. The key was that a large number of buildings were made of wood. As long as they were exposed to a little spark, it would easily cause fires and harm the entire city and even the palace.

So, last year, the police department was set up in Bianliang in imitation of Changsha Prefecture, which was specifically responsible for thieves, fire fighting, sewer clearance, and street management. The number was 800.

Eight hundred people are very few for a city with hundreds of thousands, but they are the city managers. When the fire is in trouble, ordinary people are the biggest labor force, as long as they have their organization.

Therefore, when the weather is dry, the emperor is most anxious, and Bianliang does not meet the basic requirements of a capital city at all.

The shortcomings of the city are narrow or not, the boundaries of the market are unclear, messy, inconvenient management, narrow and difficult palaces, etc., which make Li Jia feel a headache.

So, just after the first month of the year, he headed straight for Luoyang. Anyway, he could come back in seven or eight days.

This time I came to Luoyang, after three or five months, the materials from the imperial palaces in various places were complete. The palaces in such a huge imperial city have been perfected and will be complete in just a few months.

The market has been put into shape.

According to Pan Chongche's meaning, the market can be built by merchants, and the court sells a foundation and supervises it. After all, the twelve markets are too large in scale, which is a waste of time and energy.

As for the fang, 120 fangs, in addition to the original 60 fangs in Luoyang City, there are 60 fangs and nearly 30,000 houses, which can also be built by the people. At that time, it can be supervised, and it will save a lot of energy. It will take two and a half years to complete the work of Luoyang by the end of the year.

Luoyang City was expanded according to the previous Chang'an standards, implementing three parts: palaces, imperial cities and houses, making it clear, safe and practical.

The city is centered on the streets that are directed to the palace city, the imperial city and the south gate of the outer city. Within the outer city, thirty crisscrossing streets divide the city into 120 square meters and eight cities.

This grid-style planning makes the entire city plane look like a chessboard.

There are walls around each yard, four doors are opened, and the yard is equipped with a cross street. The cross street and the smaller cross street are divided into sixteen districts.

The ranks of the fang, city, street, and alley are very strict, with clear and consistent planning, and the difficulty of management is greatly reduced. After all, it is a political city, not a commercial city.

"No—" Li Jia shook her head, directly denied Pan Chongche's opinion, and said: "Luoyang is expected to be no less than Chang'an in the past. There are so many buildings that rely on the people's power alone, and I don't know how long it takes to use them. Moreover, people come and go, and the hidden dangers cannot be ignored."

"Besides--" Li Jia looked at the soldiers who were busy with work, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "With your own free labor, what do some materials count?"

"I have rewarded many houses with all the officials of the court, nobles and nobles, Changsha and Bianliang, and I have given them many houses. How can Luoyang be an exception now?"

"Besides, it is much easier to build a neat and uniform house. Once sold, the money invested in Luoyang City will be returned soon?"

"In the past two years, Luoyang has spent nearly five million yuan. Can the sales houses be returned?"

Pan Chongche didn’t understand mathematics, but he just thought that the amount was too big, so how much money would it cost to sell a house?

"Haha--" Li Jia smiled and said confidently: "You said too, nearly 30,000 buildings, do you know what a big number this is?"

"I don't know--" Pan Chongche shook his head. His math was not that good and difficult to measure.

"The lowest houses in Bianliang are now, and the highest ones are thousands of guan. If each building in Luoyang is 100, it is 3 million, and a thousand guan, it is 30 million."

The emperor's smile became brighter:

"The investment of five million chunks now is nothing compared to this. Sometimes, building a city does not mean losing money, but investing a lot, but it makes more money than taxes."

When Pan Chongche heard this number, he was stunned. The number was too many, 30 million yuan, which was equivalent to the two taxes for the court a year.

"This, this, the empress is really hard to say--" Pan Chongche bowed, and the shock on his face still did not subside.

Li Jia didn't care. The ancients really didn't have the knowledge of real estate. The productivity was too low, and large-scale expansion was not suitable. Moreover, luxury houses were basically about two or three floors, private ones were not suitable for operation, and the country did not have that much capital.

Moreover, the only one suitable for real estate speculation is Beijing. If the strength and background are a little weak, the nobles will eat nothing left.

"It's not easy to live in the capital!"

Li Jia sighed, and if she speculated like this, the housing prices in Luoyang would be difficult to fall.

No, and you can't sell them all. Leave at least two or three thousand buildings as a reward, and leave a blank land to the future princes and grandchildren.

According to a rough estimate, after the sale of residential houses in Luoyang City, they should be able to earn tens of millions of dollars. This is a great benefit to the court!

He was not greedy for this little money, and the court, whose treasury was a little dry, needed it even more.

"Don't worry, I will leave it to your house for you."

Looking back at Pan Chongche's shocked face, Li Jia couldn't help but smile and said, "He is willing to give up this kind of favor."

only……

When he thought of the prices, Li Jia suddenly remembered that the monthly salary of soldiers in the Imperial Camp was only 800 yuan.

When I was in the south, I was quite rich, but when I arrived in the capital and supported my family, this was far from enough and could not reflect the level of the imperial camp.

But the local inspection only costs 300 yuan, the local army only costs 500 yuan, and the imperial camp's 800 yuan, which is far beyond that, and the purchasing power is much different.

"There can't be any more money, it's already high enough. The local area should have complaints. Let's take a look!"
