Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

That's it, let's go to Pyongyang and get a King Qin mansion for His Highness King Qin.

So, you say that this group of people wants to stick to the rules or flatter. Anyway, after Zhang Nuo nodded and when he was still confused, he built a standard Qin Palace.

This is not comparable to the small Koryo palace in the past. There are rules in every building, from the height, width, and decorations of the gate to the front yard, middle yard, and backyard. Not only the rooms, but also the The furniture and decorations inside are transported to you directly and steadily by special personnel from the customs.

Of course, after the inspection by the Ministry of Rituals, it is considered that there is no violation of the regulations. After you have everything you should have, your Highness King Qin will toss about the things you don’t understand. up.

Then Zhang Nuo put his own Simmons beds back in.

Regarding the ideas of these people, in fact Zhang Nuo can only say that he does not support or oppose it. He is not from the imperial capital. Apart from lamenting the terrifying price of the courtyard house, he does not feel how comfortable living in it is.

Therefore, even if the new Prince Qin's mansion is decorated with all kinds of carved beams and paintings, in Zhang Nuo's eyes, it's just that. After all, what he wants is to live at home, not to make his home look like a museum.

After resting in the palace for the whole night, Zhang Nuo had to go to the port again. After all, the Naval Academy was there, and the new naval port was also there.

The train to and from the port to Pyongyang is nothing new nowadays. Even the poor people have taken it, even if they have not, at least they know that with this big iron lump, the goods on the entire Pyongyang road can be sold quickly. Transport to the port, and then enter Datang by sea.

At the same time, a large number of commodities will enter Pyongyang from the same road, which is the benefit of improved transportation.

Because Zhang Nuo is a special economic zone, the commercial tax he set up is completely based on his ideas. The tax rates for different industries are completely different, and there is no such tax for agriculture. It can only be sold in large quantities. Taxes will only appear when agricultural products are produced, and they are not high.

At the beginning, everyone didn't agree with this point, but they agreed with each other holding their noses. After all, it should be regarded as paying the protection fee, right?

But after everyone settles the accounts and compares the customs and Pyongyang, everyone will find that the commercial tax here is actually more reasonable, not the difference between high and low, but reasonable.

Because what Zhang Nuo pursues is that those who make more money pay more taxes, and those who make less money pay less taxes, and those who earn food from the ground basically don't have to pay.

The businessmen actually have no objection to this, as long as everyone enjoys this treatment equally, it will be easy to handle, and the rest is up to skill.

Therefore, more and more people have come to Pyongyang, where there is a rich supply of raw materials, rich human resources, and a business atmosphere that Datang does not have. Most importantly, there is transportation that Datang does not have. condition.

That's right, everyone has gradually realized the convenience and importance of transportation in business and trade. The time it takes for goods produced and sold from Pyongyang to go to Jiangnan is more than three times less than the time to go to Jiangnan from the north. Who would have believed it before?

But now the developed railway and sea transportation in Pyongyang can do it.

You know, not only the railway from Dengzhou to Chang'an is under construction, but also several railways are under construction in Koryo, mainly for places where the population and resources gather.

The main reason is to facilitate the mobilization of resources and commodities. Only when these are well integrated can the productivity of the whole society flourish.

And those businessmen, as long as they see profits, they will naturally not lag behind. They have a lot of ways to get themselves on this high-speed train, so that their families can earn a lot of money.

Today's Pyongyang City has increasingly become an industrial and commercial base. New workshops are established here almost every month, and various shops can be seen everywhere in the city.

And you can't underestimate these shops, don't look at the inconspicuous appearance, but after you go in, you may find that people don't even bother to talk to you if the business is less than a certain level.

At the same time, the research institute has also developed by leaps and bounds, and the things created by those researchers under Zhang Nuo's guidance have slowly spread.

There are rules here, you have to learn and produce, no problem, you can let your people learn by paying the money, and then you can produce with peace of mind. Here, you only need to pay a fee and then pay the future draw.

When someone tastes the sweetness, it will be even more out of control!

Chapter 729 Datang's Development Momentum

For the prosperity of Pyongyang's manufacturing industry and commerce, Zhang Nuo is naturally happy to see the results. This kind of appearance on the street can see people getting red-faced for a little profit, and more and more workshops outside the city have already Make him smile.

After all, this is the change he brought about, and what makes him most proud of this change is that this city may not have been so prosperous even when he traveled through it in later generations, but now it has completely become the heavy industry of the entire Tang Dynasty. center.

A large amount of raw materials were sent to the workshops around Pyongyang City to be processed into various products, and then transported to Datang. Moreover, he was also deliberately controlling and arranging this construction route.

The products produced here are basically all kinds of machinery and various industrial semi-finished products, while in Lantian City, they are all kinds of light industrial products. A large number of daily necessities related to the basic necessities of ordinary people are produced. Some channels spread to the entire Datang.

Of course, now the merchants in Jiangnan have also started to learn to build new light industry workshops in their own land. Although they don't know what light industry is, they know to see with their own eyes and think with their own brains.

In their view, what His Royal Highness King Qin is doing is to make money. His Royal Highness King Qin can sell these things so well. If we learn to do it in our hometown, we may not be able to do so well. Then we sell it cheaper. OK?

I didn't see that it is like this in Chang'an City now, there are a lot of wineries of all kinds, and the price is naturally not as good as that of Zhang's winery, but His Royal Highness Qin Wang and His Majesty both have a part in it, and it is indeed first-class wine.

But other people's wine shops are now slowly learning how to make and blend new-style fine wines. Although the taste is not as good as that of His Highness King Qin's, the price is cheap and the quantity is large.

So, now all the merchants in the south know that we are indeed not as good as His Highness King Qin, and we are not as capable of making those good things as he is.

However, we can lower the level, no, the transportation cost saved is actually enough for them to earn a lot of money in the local area.

And the heavy industry in Pyongyang City came into being like this. As long as you want to start a workshop, you must buy machinery and equipment from here. After all, you can't buy it anywhere else except here.

It's not that you can't make it yourself, in fact, many people ask the carpenters and blacksmiths at home to do it by themselves, but it's only after they really do it that they find out that those things are so easy to imitate.

The technology contained in it is simply not what could be imagined and used in the previous handicraft era. Even if it can be barely produced, but the cost is calculated, Nima is several times more expensive than buying equipment from Pyongyang City and then transporting it back. It is better to directly buy it.

Then the equipment in Pyongyang City sold like crazy.

And this drive is not just the machinery manufacturing workshop in Pyongyang City, it is a whole industrial chain, from upstream ore mining, smelting, casting to machinery manufacturing, to downstream production links, the output value driven by it alone is Amazing enough.

Not to mention that when the equipment is in the hands of those merchants, there will be a lot of upstream and downstream linkages, farmers, raw material dealers, manufacturers, traders, retailers, workshop workers, too many people benefit from it up.

The entire Tang Dynasty is now being put on a high-speed train by Zhang Nora. It seems that the Tang Dynasty is changing every day.

Land is still the most valued asset for many people, but farmers no longer tie themselves firmly to the land. It is a good way out to work as a worker in a workshop or directly sell a few small commodities in wholesale. You earn less by digging food in the soil, but you can even earn a lot more if you work hard.

If it was in the past, a large number of farmers turning from fields to farmers might have caused panic in the entire Tang Dynasty. After all, food security is a big issue.

But now it won’t be the case. New types of grains have already been popularized. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are planted all over the mountains and plains, and the emergence of new types of machinery makes large-scale farming more labor-saving. It doesn’t need so many farmers to be able to Take care of the crops in the field.

If these were within Zhang Nuo's expectations, Zhang Nuo was really surprised when several provincial governors directly sent letters asking Zhang Nuo to come to them to build the railway.

The same letter was also sent to Li Shimin. At that time, Li Shimin was still asking for his opinion with a smile.

In the letter, those governors who must have ventilated in advance even directly said that the local government and big households are willing to spend money to sponsor this railway, as long as it can be built first.
