Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1978: Overcapacity

In the late autumn of the 38th year of Xuanping, the autumn wind was bleak in Jinling City. In the royal garden Xuanwu Lake, Li Xuan, wearing a long-sleeved coat, was walking on the lake embankment.

Followed by several important imperial officials and followers.

Xuanwu Lake is the largest lake in Jinling City, but since the establishment of the Yellow Book Library on the island on the lake in the Hongwu period of the previous Ming Dynasty, this place has become a restricted area, and no ordinary people can enter the area since then. Of course, in fact, this place In fact, it is very desolate, and there are few people. There are not as many people as later.

After Datang moved the capital to Jinling City, Xuanwu Lake was still a restricted area, because at that time Datang also used this place as the location of the Yellow Books...

Later, when the Datang Palace was built, the area of ​​Xuanwu Lake was included as part of the royal garden.

During the long construction process of the Tang Palace, except for the construction of many traditional halls on the site of the Ming Palace to hold large-scale ceremonies, the other buildings of the Tang Palace basically did not follow the traditional palace buildings. style, but built in the way of gardens with different styles.

At the same time, Li Xuan was also afraid of death, and was unwilling to keep the palace too close to ordinary residential areas, so he expropriated all the surrounding areas of the palace, especially the northeast area, and then connected it to Xuanwu Lake. The entire scope of the subsequent above belongs to the scope of the palace.

Therefore, the scope of the Datang Palace is very wide, not only the small place where the main hall is located, but also the traditional main hall area of ​​the imperial palace. run over

On weekdays, the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan doesn't even go there. The scope of his daily activities is actually in the Zhongyuan in the northeast of the palace, which is 2.5 kilometers long and 1.7 kilometers wide. The buildings are mainly gardens, and there are courtyards of various styles, regardless of whether the traditional Jiangnan garden style or the northern style, or the western style, or the Tang style architecture, the new Tangfeng architecture and so on.

The western area of ​​Zhongyuan is a core administrative area composed of office buildings of core institutions such as the Imperial Academy, the Privy Council, the Naval Command, and the Imperial Study.

Later, Xuanwu Lake, which was originally a restricted area, was also repaired, and many imperial books were reorganized and moved for leisure and entertainment.

Xuanwu Lake has also changed from a restricted area to a garden.

As a result, the current imperial palace area, which covers an extremely large area, is formed.

The perimeter of the palace wall alone is 18 kilometers, and some of the palace walls were actually built on the basis of the Nanjing City Wall in the former Ming Dynasty.

The longest from north to south is six kilometers, and the widest is five kilometers.

But this is not a standard rectangle, it actually consists of several large areas.

Today, the shore of Xuanwu Lake where Li Xuan is strolling is not the main lake of Xuanwu Lake, but the middle lake within the range of Zhongyuan.

Li Xuan walked in front, while Chen Lifu followed behind, explaining to Li Xuan the Ministry of Commerce's production capacity adjustment plan for the domestic manufacturing industry.

"According to many investigations and studies, we believe that not only the steel industry needs to adjust the production capacity, but also many other basic industries need to be adjusted, whether it is coal or chemical industry, etc., there are certain problems!"

"The main problem is that companies are currently in a state of blind expansion, and they are overly optimistic about the market growth rate in a few years."

"Like the steel industry, there is a big problem in the coal industry. Since 20 years ago, coal has been in short supply. The demand in the private market is extremely huge, and the demand for coal in the manufacturing industry and transportation is also increasing day by day!"

"As a result, major coal companies have always been committed to expanding production. Thirty years later, after many new-generation machinery and equipment have been applied to mine development, the growth rate of coal production capacity has accelerated rapidly. This year alone, our coal production capacity is expected to increase That's more than 20 percent more than last year, and the total output is 100 million tons. And next year will be even more."

"100 million tons of coal, we can still consume, or even more to 200 million tons, we can still digest it, but if it is more, relying on the local market will be more difficult to digest!"

"And the basic industries such as steel and coal are driven by too many related industries. Once problems occur in these basic industries, it will have a major impact on the economy of the empire!"

When Li Xuan listened to Chen Lifu's report, he didn't feel too surprised. He had long expected the overcapacity.

More importantly, despite the fact that the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world, the people's life was much better than that of other countries, but if you were to compare with later generations, the standard of living would be much worse.

A poor living standard means that they don't have much money, and their spending power is not very good.

The consumption power is not very good, the commodities that can be consumed are limited, and the merchants produce too many commodities and cannot sell them. This is overcapacity.

After years of hard work, the current Datang Empire has eliminated child labor by setting minimum wage standards and limiting maximum working hours, and solved the problem of low wages for female workers.

This year, Chen Lifu once again proposed that the minimum wage cannot remain unchanged, and must be matched with the economic development of the empire. Therefore, this year, the minimum wage has been adjusted again, increasing by 10% on the original basis.

But even so, the lives of the vast majority of workers and low-level people such as farmers with small land are still relatively difficult, still struggling between food and clothing.

People can't even get enough to eat, so naturally they have no money to consume, and naturally they can't sell goods without money.

This is also the reason why millions of people immigrate overseas every year from the mainland.

Living in the country is too hard, how good it is to go overseas, as long as you work hard and work hard, you will definitely be better than living in the country.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then said to Chen Lifu who was beside him: "This overcapacity issue~www.wuxiaspot.com~ not only needs to guide enterprises to invest rationally, but on the other hand, it is necessary to expand domestic demand!"

"In terms of guiding rational investment, it is still necessary to start from state-owned and imperial-owned enterprises. It is not easy for other ordinary enterprises to directly interfere, but some policies can be used to guide them at that time!"

With the current economic structure of the Tang Empire, even if it pursues free trade, the government basically does not interfere with the market behavior of enterprises, but the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises of the Empire directly controls a large number of enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the Royal Assets Section also controls a large number of enterprises. The royal assets of the enterprise, the two together, can directly affect more than 30% of the industrial and commercial output value of the entire empire.

Therefore, whenever the Datang Empire has any economic policies, it is basically regulated by state-owned and imperial-owned enterprises, rather than directly issuing administrative orders.

Just like the previous adjustment of steel production capacity, Datang Empire did not say that it would not directly allow private enterprises to invest in the steel industry. What Datang Empire did was actually very simple. On the one hand, it directly adjusted the investment quota of state-owned and imperial-owned steel companies.

On the other hand, the threshold is raised, and it is also an indirect threshold, such as the cancellation of various preferential subsidies and the introduction of some restrictive laws, the most important of which is the environmental protection law.

Through the Environmental Protection Law, Datang officials have already guided a large number of enterprises to adjust their production capacity.
