Chapter 205
Hot Potato
“I know what you said. I just have one question now.”
“Can you do it, or you can do it, but under what conditions?”
Emperor Yongzheng didn’t bother to go around the corner anymore, he had a very headache.
Did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty really have no money? Of course not, they just don’t want to take it out.
As Tie Nan said before, the world belongs to the people of the world, but it also belongs to the emperor.
In their hearts, the world belongs to the emperor, so the wealth in their hands is theirs.
But to save the world, if they need to let blood from their bodies, they are unwilling.
Because this world belongs to the emperor, not theirs, and the emperor should contribute money and efforts to save it.
If this grand cadre is really exhausted, they will at most just change their masters.
There may even be one or two real dragon emperors among them. Who can say for sure?
Seeing that Emperor Yongzheng was anxious, Yang Guang also nodded and said, “It is definitely possible to do it, but the conditions are a bit harsh.”
Emperor Yongzheng said directly: “Say, your need is the condition.”
Yang Guang: “Your Majesty, in my opinion, Shenjing City is still too small.”
“It can’t accommodate so many people. How about we expand Shenjing City?”
Emperor Yongzheng frowned and said, “Expansion? Fortification? Is this your so-called method?”
That is, to put it bluntly, it is still working for relief, but it has changed from building rivers to building cities.
But the problem now is not that there is no work, but that the treasury is empty.
Even if he is willing to take out the money and food in the inner treasury, it won’t last long.
“Your Majesty, I think the environment of Shenjing City still needs to be improved, especially the sewer system and disorderly construction.”
“However, I need some powers, such as the power to take private land back to the imperial court.”
“Of course I will buy them at the same market price, and then build areas suitable for people’s lives on these lands.”
“This requires a lot of labor, and the long construction period can support many people.”
“The most important thing is that after these projects are completed, they can also bring a lot of income to the imperial court.”
“And because the land belongs to the court, those who want to buy the built property will of course have to pay the court.”
“We can also limit the ownership time of a building.”
“That is, the house is yours. After 40 or 70 years, the right to use the land will expire.”
“You need to continue to pay a sum of money to the court to own the house.”
“In this way, the imperial court can have continuous income, instead of a one-off sale.”
“Shenjing City is very large and can be built for a long time. Now, we only need a pilot project.”
“Let the disaster victims in the city have a cause that they can feel at ease.”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry about running out of money. I can pay the money.”
“However, this first income also needs to be given to me. What do you think, Your Majesty?”
Tie Nan: “I object, Your Majesty.”
“This matter may be feasible, but the court can also do it on its own. There is no need to rely on Marquis Jing’an for everything!”
Although what Yang Guang said was not exhaustive, Tie Nan, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has heard the benefits of it.
To put it simply, it is to requisition land to repair houses, and then sell them to the common people. There must be other mysteries in this.
It’s just that Tie Nan doesn’t know for the time being, but it doesn’t mean he can’t see the benefits, so he was the first to stand up and object.
Emperor Yongzheng glanced at the old guy, sneered and said, “Oh, the imperial court does it? Do you know how to do it?”
“Can you guarantee that you won’t make mistakes? Where does the money and food come from, and how do you guarantee the sale after completion?”
The emperor’s series of questions directly let Tie Nanmeng circle him. He just heard that Yang Guang wanted benefits, so he came out to oppose it.
If you really want him to do it, he probably doesn’t have any good ideas.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Emperor Yongzheng looked at Yang Guangdao.
“I can agree to your conditions, but you must ensure that you can achieve the effect you said.”
“In addition, I need to send some people to work under your command.”
“They won’t disobey any of your orders, they just supervise you and don’t let you harm the common people, do you agree?”
Yang Guang nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes, as long as you don’t point fingers at random.”
Seeing that Yang Guang agreed, Emperor Yongzheng nodded casually and said, “So today’s court meeting is here.”
“What Tie Nan said also makes sense, everyone should pay back the money.”
“In addition, you can only cooperate with what the Marquis of Jing’an has done.”
“Dai Chun gave the Marquis of Jing’an a gold medal as if I were here in person, so that he can act cheaply. That’s enough, I’m tired, let’s retreat.”
After Emperor Yongzheng finished speaking, he left. Dai Chun announced his resignation, and then left.
Tie Nan and the officials of the household department were already covered in cold sweat.
However, the results this time were good. Not only did they get His Majesty’s permission to ask for debts.
Moreover, the task of resettling the victims was thrown out.
Although I don’t know what Yang Guang is going to do, as long as they don’t give them a headache.
