During this time, Li Ye has been meeting with officials, officials from Guanzhong and Guannai Dao states, as well as heads of famous families, etc.
Liu Yan was also extremely busy. He, Yan Quanming, and Li Chenzhou were running around Chang'an with more than a thousand soldiers. Their main task was to clear assets and verify assets.
Determine how much supplies are still in stock. Chang'an and Longyou are just the opposite. Longyou has a lot of money, grain and light goods. Light goods mainly refer to cloth, silk and satin, etc., which are easy to cash.
Chang'an's inventory is short of money and food, and there is also very little cloth, but Chang'an has a lot of heavy goods, such as stone, wood, iron ingots, copper ingots, carts, as well as various old weapons, old armor, gongs and drums, tents, etc.
Supplies piled up like mountains.
All materials that could be transported were transported away, and even the large amounts of money recovered were transported away, so that they could be melted down and used to make new money.
Li Ye thought for a while and asked: "Can any of these official residences that have been allocated be recovered? For example, the official residences that were overoccupied and those that are no longer qualified, let's see how much can be recovered?"
Li Ye sighed slightly, "I'm worried that those ghosts and ghosts will take the opportunity to come back!"
"Yes! A five-acre house in Yonglefang costs 2,000 guan, and a one-acre yard can be purchased for 300 guan."
"How many vacant garden houses are there?"
Liu Yan shook his head: "I didn't meet anyone in my humble position. I specifically asked the Chang'an County Lieutenant, and the County Lieutenant confirmed to me that there is indeed no one."
Li Ye smiled and said: "Those two buildings are filled with all kinds of ghosts and monsters. It's very chaotic. Didn't you notice it?"
He handed an inventory to Li Ye, "This is the official residence situation that I have just sorted out. It is divided into four parts. The first part is allocated to officials. Almost all of these officials are in Luoyang. The second part is currently vacant."
The third part of the allocated official residences is more than 300 official residences, which are for low-level officials to live in. Almost all of them are one-acre courtyards, all of which are empty and can be allocated directly. The fourth part is the vacant official residences outside the city, including
The garden house in Qujiang Pond."
Cheng Changyin's father Cheng Ruoshui and uncle Li Ruobing both went to Luoyang. Cheng Changyin's wife did not follow them to Luoyang, but lived with her husband in Qizhou.
涓€涔濆涓涓変竴涓€涓冧竷涓€涓?
Liu Yan smiled and said: "The Hou County Lieutenant told me that some people originally came back, but since His Highness announced the cancellation of the curfew and opened the gates and city gates all night, the people who came back actually moved away again, and they would be harassed all the time if they lived there.
If the government checks, then they might as well live outside the city, which is cheaper and safer. Since the city gate is not closed all night, they can go in and out of the city at night.
Li Ye was very surprised. He had been to those two houses, and they were full of people of unknown origins.
Li Ye looked at the inventory and asked, "Are these idle official residences enough?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the imperial court has very strict management of official residences. Basically, there will be no over-occupancy. Logically speaking, if these officials have new official residences in Luoyang, the official residences in Chang'an should be given up. Especially for middle-level officials, humble positions can be
A batch was recovered, but there was still a gap. I thought of another way. I could buy a house on the market and use it as an official residence. I heard that after the capital was moved, house prices in Chang'an plummeted and houses were being sold everywhere. It's a little better now, but the price is still the same.
With only half of what it was before the capital was moved, I can take the opportunity to purchase a batch of houses of three to five acres."
Li Ye quickly asked him to sit down and served him a large bowl of herbal tea. Liu Yan drank the herbal tea in one breath and felt better.
"Why?"
"We usually buy grain in Bashu in advance, but the skyrocketing price of grain last year was due to large sums of money being given away, not due to lack of food."
"There has been a shortage of food in Guanzhong for a long time. It started in the Sui Dynasty. The main reason is that the land has been turned into the manor of the powerful. How many large and small manors are there in Guanzhong? There used to be some self-cultivated farmers, but now there are fewer and fewer self-cultivated farmers in Guanzhong, and the grain turned over
The tax is negligible. In addition, Chang'an has too many people and hundreds of thousands of troops to support. There is not enough food to eat. Before Tianbao, the largest food allocation area was not Jiangnan, but Hebei. After the Anshi Rebellion, Hebei's food was cut off, and Jiangnan
Grain is always blocked by separatist warlords. It was Liu Zhan before and Li Xilie now. Grain from the grain-producing areas has never been transported to Chang'an."
Coming to report one's duties to oneself is an attitude of showing allegiance. For example, Wei Qingxuan, the governor of China, did not come to Chang'an, but gave up his official position and went to Luoyang. The governor of Tongzhou and Sima Sima of Shangzhou also resigned and left. These are all attitudes. Of course,
Li Ye did not force himself, he came from freedom.
"What advice?"
"Sima wants to make use of these two squares?"
Li Ye nodded, "Go ahead and get it!"
Liu Yan shook his head, "It's enough if you don't consider military generals, but if you consider military generals, it's much worse."
But Liu Yan's top priority was not various materials, but assets, especially the official residence in Chang'an. With so many officials from Longyou moving here, they had to have a place to live.
"Because there are still not enough houses for low-level officials, but I discovered that Zhaoxingfang and Da'anfang are basically wastelands with no one living there."
Liu Yan smiled and nodded, "We don't have enough houses for low-level officials, and we don't have enough warehouses. I want to use these two buildings to build warehouses, build a residential area for craftsmen, build a residential area for low-level officials, and build a Salesian hospital, which is perfect for Chang'an."
An opportunity for people to make money."
"The houses in Wannian County are more expensive, costing about 10,000 guan each. Before, they cost at least 30,000 guan. The houses in Chang'an County are cheap, ranging from 5,000 to 8,000 guan. Some houses in the southwest can even be bought for 2,000 guan.
.”
"Yonglefang?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, they will not come back."
"The county lieutenant told the humble official that the two squares were originally used to house the hungry people who fled to Chang'an. But last year, a large amount of money was issued and the hungry people living inside and outside the squares could not afford it. They fled to Longyou one after another. The court took this opportunity to
The remaining people all rushed to the Han Chang'an City. It was originally planned to move the Taixue, Guozixue, Simenxue and other schools there, but it happened to be the time to move the capital, so the plan was shelved."
"What will Qizhou do if there is a shortage of food?" Li Ye asked again.
"So the current real estate market is very bad, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to buy a batch of real estate and solve the problem of official residences."
In the morning, Li Ye met with Qizhou governor Cheng Changyin and Changshi Wang Zhu. Cheng Changyin was an old friend of Li Ye. Historically, he and his wife, Princess Guangning, were forced to divorce, but with Li Ye's help, his life trajectory also changed.
After a few years of serving as a left-back general, he abandoned military service and became a civil servant. He was appointed governor of Ning and was promoted to governor of Qizhou last year.
"How much does a five-acre house cost now?" Li Ye asked.
Liu Yan thought for a while and then said: "In addition, I have another suggestion."
At this time, Liu Yan walked into the official room with sweat on his face and said, "It's too hot today and the sun is poisonous. I really can't stand it!"
"what happened?"
In the past few days, Liu Yan has been running around Chang'an, checking every unused official residence and government office.
Li Ye laughed dumbly and said: "Back then, half an acre of my yard was sold for three hundred guan, but now it has dropped by half."
"There are sixteen more."
"No way!"
And not only them, many people living in the city have also begun to move out of the city. The rent outside the city is half cheaper, and you can save dozens of dollars a year. Anyway, it is very convenient outside the city, so why do you still live there?
Inside the city.”
Li Ye nodded happily, "It seems that the decision to cancel the curfew is completely correct!"
