In the meeting hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, Chen Qing was presiding over an important discussion. He had just submitted a proposal for developing Han Chang'an City to the Internal Affairs Hall.
This is actually a new county town, which is of great significance.
Chen Qing explained to the dozen or so senior officials present: "I have received a detailed report from special envoy Lu Gang, which mentioned that Lin'an real estate is on the eve of collapse. Once it collapses, a large amount of money will definitely flow into Jingzhao. We
Preparations must be made in several aspects. On the one hand, preparations must be made to provide enough land to carry the money. Otherwise, too much money in the market will definitely lead to skyrocketing prices.
On the other hand, we must ensure that the prices of grain and cloth cannot rise. The Changping store must play a role in ensuring prices. The third preparation is to combat malicious hoarding. This is the responsibility of the internal defense. The development of Han Chang'an City this time is actually
Be the first to prepare.
Jiang Yanxian said slowly: "His Highness's plan is mainly to move the poor, craftsmen and a large number of workshops to Han Chang'an City, which means to free up the land in Jingzhao City. Is this how you understand it?"
Chen Qing nodded, "Fiffang in the Southwest District is basically a poor residential area, and 80% of the land is official land. There are also craftsmen areas, and more than 50 workshops inside and outside the city. These are official lands, and they occupy the entire capital.
If we move them all to Han Chang'an City, we will have one more new Nanchang city, which can be enough to cope with the impact of Lin'an's massive wealth moving westward, and the imperial court will also have enough money to develop Han Chang'an City."
Zhou Kuan worriedly said: "Your Highness, if the craftsmen and poor people are forcibly moved to Han Chang'an City, they may not be willing to do so, which will cause unnecessary turmoil."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "There will definitely be dissatisfaction, but as long as we do two things well, it will be enough to offset the dissatisfaction of the people. First, it must be profitable. Five hundred cents can only rent a house in Jingzhao City, and in
In the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, one could rent two rooms with a yard, and the rent was still 500 wen. This was the most practical benefit.
Second, it is necessary to minimize the distance between Han Chang'an City and Jingzhao City. First, it is built as a new county on the same level as Chang'an County, Wannian County, and Jingzhao County. From now on, Jingzhao City will be composed of four counties.
The second step is to build a wide, flat avenue, with both sides of the avenue gradually being covered by residential buildings and shops.
The second step is to build water transportation. There are dozens of boats traveling between the two places every day. People only need one penny to take a trip, which is less than part of the government subsidies."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Your Highness, why don't we go to the scene to discuss the matter!"
Chen Qing smiled happily and said: "This is a good suggestion. Let's go to Han Chang'an City together!"
........
Han Chang'an City is located in the northwest of Jingzhao City, adjacent to the Weishui River in the north, less than ten miles away from Jingzhao City, and it was within the scope of the royal forbidden garden during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
However, the three major palaces of the Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace and Changle Palace, still existed until the Tang Dynasty. However, as the central power moved eastward, Chang'an City declined, and Han Chang'an City was inevitably annihilated in the dust of time.
The three major palaces have all collapsed, leaving only ruins and broken walls. The other buildings have turned into loess and are covered by weeds.
Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty has always been official land, and part of it has been reclaimed into farmland, but most of it has not been developed and is still deserted.

Half an hour later, Chen Qing led a large group of officials to Han Chang'an City to discuss matters. Chang'an City was very large, more than ten miles long from east to west and about three miles wide. The three palaces alone took up 30% of the area. Of course, the city walls had long since disappeared.
.
The first is the issue of the city wall. According to Chen Qing's plan, he wanted to build Han Chang'an City into the fourth county of Jingzhao. He had already thought of the name of the county. Since Jianzhang County is a county, it must have a city wall.
A city is a city without walls, a town is a city without walls.
Chen Qing said to everyone: "The city wall does not need to be built too high. It can be slightly lower than Jingzhao City. It is recommended to build the wall with bricks. Our four brickyards can burn enough city bricks."
Lu Wei quickly said: "Your Highness, you can use the bricks we plan to build the outer wall of Jingzhao City here first, and then restock the outer wall bricks."
Jingzhao City currently has a single city wall. If it is to be established as a capital city, it will definitely have to build double city walls. The city bricks have been reserved, but they can be used in Han Chang'an City first.
Chen Qing nodded, "Once the decision is made, we must start construction as soon as possible. Time does not wait for us. Let's build official rental houses first. According to the plan I mentioned, there are two houses with a small courtyard. Each official rental house is guaranteed to have one point of land, and the rent is still 500 Wen.
"
In the city, a government-rented house with 500 Wen only has one room, but in the suburbs, 500 Wen can rent two rooms with a small courtyard, so Chen Qing asked to benchmark the market outside the city, with two houses with a small courtyard, and one lease would cost the most
It can last up to twenty years, which is more secure than private renting.
Everyone came to the old site of the Three Palaces again. The Three Palaces still existed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Now there are only a few ruins left, but the granite foundations are still there. According to the plan, dozens of government-run workshops where the craftsmen supervise will be moved here.
.
Including printing, coin making, mold making, distiller's yeast, furniture, car making, leather making, glass making, ceramics, mirror making, sugar making, paper making and dozens of workshops.
The craftsmanship supervisor is mainly responsible for the production of civilian products, while the weapons supervisory workshop is responsible for the production of military weapons and armor. Currently, the weapons supervisory workshops are concentrated in Xianyang County, while the craftsmanship supervisory workshops are concentrated in Jingzhao City.
Therefore, this time all the workshops where the craftsmen were supervised were moved to Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, including 20,000 households of craftsmen.
There are actually many workshops where craftsmen supervise, such as weaving, shipbuilding, cotton ginning, briquette making, brick burning, flour grinding, etc., all located in other places.
A small part of the products produced were exclusively for the imperial court, such as coining money, refining gold and silver, printing, paper making, etc. Most of the other civilian products were put into the market. They were of high quality and very popular in the market.
There is also a monopoly on koji cakes, and all breweries can only purchase koji cakes from the official. This is the liquor tax, and together with the salt tax, it has become an important tax revenue for the official.
Chen Qing and his officials only stayed in Han Chang'an City for more than half an hour, but the news quickly spread in Jingzhao City. In fact, when the Internal Affairs Hall began to discuss King Yong's plan, there were rumors in the city, but most of them
Some people don't quite believe it.
Only some prophets and foresights began to buy private houses in the Southwest District. When a large number of officials followed King Yong to inspect Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, the people finally believed the rumors. The land prices in the Southwest District and the craftsmen's area rose rapidly.
The price of two to three hundred guan per mu has jumped to 2,000 guan per mu, and there are very few houses available. Dozens of people are vying for one house. The owner of the homestead takes the opportunity to increase the price of the land and even refuses to sell it. The low price a few days ago
Those who sold it at a high price would stamp their feet and beat their chests, regretting it too late.
Land prices have once again become the focus of discussion among the people in Jingzhao City. Some people say that land prices will rise sharply, while others say that with more land supply, land prices will definitely drop. Every teahouse is talking about it, and there is no consensus.
But real money is the most convincing. A large number of land buyers suddenly came to the Jingzhao market, especially the land in Jingzhao County in the south of the city and outside the city were sold particularly hotly.
A few days later, a shocking news came. Lin'an's land market collapsed. An example spread throughout the city. Once an acre was priced at 50,000 guan, a five-acre house with a total price of 250,000 guan ended up being sold for 250,000 guan.
The total price of 20,000 guan was sold, which dropped by more than 90%.
