If he really dared to do this, Li Xiao felt that betrayal and separation were just around the corner.

After all, an uninteresting boss will never have interesting employees.

Besides, the war in Europe is only temporarily over.

The Ming Dynasty needs a broken Europe, a Europe that is broken into pieces, and will never allow the emergence of a behemoth like Germany.

Germany now annexed France and England, half of Poland, and one-third of Austria.

Regardless of its land area or population size, it has the potential to become a competitor to the Ming Dynasty.

And Li Xiao has always regarded them as competitors.

Asch is not the Russian tsar, he is a very troublesome person.

If he was given ten years, God knows what Germany could expand into.

Since the war was only temporarily stopped, the army could not be disbanded. Moreover, the Ming army also needed more aircraft, tanks, and artillery.

More artillery shells, more supplies, and more various materials are needed.

The Ming Dynasty also needed to support an army of more than three million people overseas.

All these have put forward more stringent requirements on the national treasury finances.

It is not easy to be in the current situation.

"Brother, the country's population is increasing. Building houses will not only provide employment, but also allow people to make a living and make money.

"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"

Moreover, local taxes can be increased.

What's more important is that the population of the Ming Dynasty has gradually increased over the years, and the court's expenses have also increased!

Just like some towns, after actual calculation, the commercial population has been very large. Now, they have been changed to counties.

As the number of people increases, more houses are naturally needed.

It takes two or even three years to build a building, but it can be done in ten months of pregnancy to give birth to a child.

According to estimates from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, it may take us twenty years to build houses to accommodate the current population of Ming Dynasty.

This is just the current number!

But when the moon goes, so do I! Our houses are being built quickly, but the number of children the common people are having is increasing.

When this wave of children grow up, they will still need a house to live in if they have children.

We can always tear down the old and build new.

Mr. Tang said that according to his calculations, the total population of the Ming Dynasty may exceed one billion in fifteen years.

Twenty years later, the population of Ming Dynasty will quickly exceed 1.1 billion.

Thirty years later...

We don’t dare to continue like this. We need to prepare so many houses in advance so that everyone can live in spacious and bright buildings.”

Li Hao was very confident about building a house. He looked at the shanty towns in front of him like looking at fields of crops.

Li Xiao also looked at this large shanty town!

Indeed, shantytowns need to be changed sooner or later.

Dirty and messy, with mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and sewage flowing everywhere, such shantytowns cannot be compared with buildings.

Changing their living conditions through demolition is also a good thing.

But...but Li Xiao is really worried that one day the house prices will reach such a high level that young people will not even think about buying, but will choose to settle down.

But what can he do? After all, there will be a second European War in another year. This time, Germany needs to be defeated, so that Germany, which is tepid on the surface but is actually catching up, will be dismembered.

fate.

Money! Everything costs money!

There is no other way, let’s leave it like this for now. After all, selling land to build houses now seems to be an important means to improve citizens’ living conditions and make money for the country.

The people of the Ming Dynasty still support the European War. The reason is that the European War actually has little to do with many of them.

There were no tax increases because of the European War, nor were they forced to join the army because of the European War.

On the contrary, many people made a fortune from the military supplies of the European War!

Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty held a very tolerant attitude towards the war that took place in a distant area.

But if taxes are increased significantly, people will definitely have another impression of the war in distant Europe.

"Okay, let's do this first. If anything happens in the future, we'll talk about it later." Li Xiao had no choice but to agree to do this first.

But he also has confidence!

As long as Germany is torn apart, Ming's overseas trade will immediately prosper again.

After all, many things in Ming Dynasty have been industrialized and products have been transformed from the silly, big, black and thick ones to the straight and beautiful ones now.

As overseas trade prospered, Ming Dynasty naturally had a huge trade surplus every year.

At the same time, tariffs will also rise significantly!

By that time, the Ming court will have a lot of money, a lot of money.

When that day comes, the bright goods will become absolute hard currency.

When money is not an issue, there will be less worries.

Li Xiao nodded and continued to walk on the streets of the capital surrounded by the ministers with his hands behind his back.

From time to time, we looked around decently and discussed the price of vegetables with the vegetable seller. After the negotiation, we did not buy anything, but just listened to his story. After listening to his story, the mysterious tour guide next to us began to use cold words to us.
