Practice was the only standard to test the truth. Only after practice could one determine whether something was correct or not. Without practice, one could not really determine whether something was correct or not.
For example, Ang Lee originally thought that the construction of guaranteed housing and cheap public rental houses was a good thing, but it lost its original meaning because there were too many obstacles and disturbances. These were good methods, but they did not play a big role. As for whether the two methods proposed this time could play a big role, it was estimated that only after practice could the final conclusion be drawn.
Of course, Ang Lee was confident in himself this time, because the previous methods had many loopholes, but this time, the methods were hard and there were almost no big loopholes. Moreover, Ang Lee would continue to follow up. From time to time, he would go to the workshops to investigate whether these workshops really provided housing for the craftsmen, the quality of the housing, whether it could be lived in normally, and whether it was serious or not. As for the deliberate perfunctory behavior, Ang Lee would definitely not agree. He would definitely deal with it seriously to ensure that this policy could be better implemented.
Ang Lee believed that as long as the workshops could implement it seriously, the housing shortage in the capital would be greatly improved. Coupled with the temporary mobile housing, the housing shortage in the capital would be greatly improved. Perhaps it would not be long before there would be no housing shortage in Chang 'an. In this way, the lives of the people would definitely be better. As long as the lives of the people were better, the public security situation in the capital would definitely improve a lot. This was Ang Lee's dream, and also a small goal that Ang Lee had been diligently pursuing.
When Ang Lee and Li Yu walked out of the Danfeng Sect, a group of people surrounded them. These people were from the Tang dynasty newspaper, the capital's Morning and Evening News, and other media. These guys all came here after hearing the news. Their purpose here was very clear, which was to find out about the new housing policy, which was a policy that many people were very concerned about. As long as it was published in the newspaper, it would definitely gain a lot of attention. It would definitely play a very important role in increasing the sales of these newspapers.
In fact, the reason why these guys could get the news so quickly was that Ang Lee had sent someone to leak it to them. That was why they could come so quickly.
"If you have any questions, just ask. Well, I'll tell you everything I know."
Ang Lee looked at the crowd and said.
"Assistant Minister Li, I heard that the mobile houses that many people saw early in the morning are the houses that the imperial court will introduce this time. Is that true?"
A person asked..
Li An smiled and looked at the person who asked the question. He said, "That's right, there is indeed such a thing. These mobile houses are built by the imperial court and rented to the commoners who don't have houses at a very low price."
"Assistant Minister Li, these mobile houses are so small. They are not much different from horse carriages. Can people really live in these mobile houses for long periods of time? .....................
Another person asked..
Ang Lee smiled and looked at the crowd in front of him. He said, "Simple, of course it's simple. However, there is no other way. There are too few houses in the capital. If you are interested, you can walk around the bridges in the capital and see how many people live under the bridges. Also, in the inconspicuous caves outside the capital, those who live there are not necessarily wild beasts, but people from other places. Even on the roadside outside the capital, there are many people who spend the night in the open. You should know that very well. When you walk at night, if you are not careful, you may step on people who are sleeping on the roadside. This is enough to show that the housing situation in the capital has reached a very serious point. In this case, you can't think too much. Even if it's a mobile house, it's at least livable. It's better than living under the bridges and sleeping on the roadside. What do you think?
After saying that, he looked at these reporters.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They felt that Ang Lee's words were very reasonable. Even living in a carriage was much better than sleeping on the roadside. There were also bridges and caves, which were not suitable for people to live in. In the current Chang 'an City of the Tang dynasty, there were indeed many people who lived on the roadside, bridges, and caves. Because their income was too low, they could not afford to rent a house at all. Living on the roadside was also a helpless choice. If it rained, they would probably be soaked.
Of course, for those who were slightly richer, although they could afford to rent a house, the heavy burden of rent would torture them, and their days would not be easy.
Therefore, the mobile temporary house could solve some problems. It could allow people living on the roadside to live in a house and let people with heavy burdens choose a cheaper way of living. It was absolutely a great thing.
Now that the first question was asked, it was time to ask the next one.
One person asked, "Assistant Minister Li, I heard that there is another policy, which is to let all the newly opened workshops and restaurants provide more than 80% of the houses to the craftsmen and other workers. Is it true?"
This news was also leaked by Ang Lee in order to build momentum and facilitate the implementation of the policy.
Ang Lee looked at the crowd with a smile and nodded. "Of course it's true. This has been confirmed. His Majesty has officially issued a decree and asked the Political Affairs Hall to implement it as soon as possible."
"In this way, the cost of opening a workshop will greatly increase. Many people can't afford it!"
One person asked.
Ang Lee nodded, "You're right. This will indeed happen. However, we don't have a better solution now. The increase of population in the capital city is caused by the increase of these workshops. Shouldn't they solve the housing problem of their craftsmen?"
"Assistant Minister Li, some craftsmen are all locals in the capital city. Most of them have their own homes. They would go home after work in the evening. They won't live in the workshop at all. Therefore, if a large number of houses are built in the workshop, it would be a waste. Take a winery in Huaiyuan Square as an example, there are 50 craftsmen in it. However, most of them are old residents of the capital city who live in the workshop or the neighboring workshops. They all have their own homes and have to go back home in the evening. Of course, the workshop would not provide them with additional houses. If we force this winery to provide 40 people's houses according to the requirement of the imperial court, it would be a waste. No one would live in it!"
One person asked.
This question was indeed something that needed serious consideration. However, with Li An's intelligence, how could he not have considered it?
"That's a good question. Which newspaper office are you from?"
Ang Lee asked out of curiosity.
"Assistant Minister Li, I'm from Baqiao Romance."
The man answered.
"Baqiao Romance, what a good name! It's a good name. "
Li An felt that the name of the newspaper office was very good. It sounded very romantic, so he asked, "Ba Qiao Feng Yue, I haven't heard of it before. You've just been established, right? "
"Yes, Assistant Minister Li, it's just been established for a month. However, it's doing well. It's developing very well."
The man said proudly.
"How many people do you have? Do I know any of them?"
Ang Lee asked.
"Not many. Only about twenty people. Most of them are small fries. The only famous one is Brother Taibai."
The man answered.
"Brother Taibai, you mean Li Taibai, the drunk poet? Did he come to Baqiao Romance?"
Ang Lee asked.
This person said proudly, "That's right, Taibai Bro became the chief editor as soon as he came. Without Mr. Taibai, how could our Baqiao Fengyue develop so well? Even the name Baqiao Fengyue was given by Taibai Bro."
Ang Lee nodded. He secretly thought that it must be the boss of Baqiao Romance who gave Li Bai a higher salary. Otherwise, Li Bai would not jump ship to this small newspaper office that was just established.
In addition, there was another reason. Perhaps it was because the reputation of the Tang dynasty newspaper was too great. In addition, it was the official media of the imperial court. Therefore, it was difficult for people like Li Bai, who did not like to follow the rules, to have a good development. Even if he was very talented, he did not do well in the end, or he did not want to be promoted at all. However, in a new unit, he suddenly became the chief editor with the most power. Although it was more difficult and did not seem to be in line with his character, the economic pressure was too great. Perhaps Brother Taibai could not stand it. In order to have a better income so that he could drink and party better, he had to bow to reality and jump ship to become the chief editor of Baqiao Romance.
"Baqiao Romance, I'll definitely take a look at it when I have the chance. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you the question you just asked. The mandatory requirement that all workshops in the capital must provide at least 80% of the residential houses is actually a requirement for new workshops in the future. The existing workshops can be improved slightly. As for the situation where all the craftsmen live nearby, it's not a big deal if they don't provide housing. The imperial court will not cut them off."
Ang Lee said.
"Assistant Minister Li, if this lowly one were to run to Peace Square and open a tofu skin workshop and recruit a hundred craftsmen from nearby to work, wouldn't we still have to provide housing for eighty people? Wouldn't this be a great waste?"
A person said.
The question raised by this person was indeed very tricky and tricky. This assumption really hit the soft spot of the policy, turning the policy that was originally beneficial to the people into a policy that harms the people.
However, this guy's hypothesis was not very likely because the housing prices in Beijing were too high. The local old people were very arrogant. Forget about those who were already working. Only a fool would open a new workshop and recruit local old people from Beijing.
Moreover, the old people in the capital already had jobs. When a new workshop was in a hurry to recruit workers, it was more likely to recruit new craftsmen from other places, who did not have a place to live. Therefore, this guy's assumption was not very likely.
In any case, it was impossible for a workshop that recruited 100 people to have a place to live. Most of the people did not have a place to live, or lived in a place that was relatively far away. There was definitely a great demand for housing.
In addition, the housing provided by the workshop would definitely be for more than six people. In this way, when most of the workers did not need to live in it, a room could be changed into three or two people, or one person could live in a room. It would not be a waste. In addition, the houses that could be lived in could be changed into warehouses. In the future, if they really did not need to live in it, it would be good to use it as a warehouse.
"This question is even better. Which newspaper are you from?"
Ang Lee asked.
"Assistant Minister Li, this humble one is from the Wei River Tabloid."
This person replied.
"Wei River Tabloid, this name is so low-key! Why did you come up with such a name? It seems too petty. "
Ang Lee looked at this person and asked.
"Assistant Minister Li, you might not know, but our Tabloid is not in the city, but on the southern bank of the Wei River outside the city. It is at most a hundred steps from the Wei River, so we came up with such a name."
This person replied.
In fact, it is very difficult for such a situation to occur and is not very likely. Moreover, the most serious matter at hand is the shortage of housing in the capital. Everyone knows very well how serious this shortage is, so in order to solve this problem, we can't care so much. Even if some people are really like your assumption, we can only suffer for a while. Moreover, we already have the money to open a workshop, so why would we care about building a few more dormitories? The cost of opening a workshop for 100 people is not small, and for 80 people to live in, we only need ten rooms, a small three-story building. "
Ang Lee answered this person's question.
This was the priority to solve serious problems. For example, if a person had severe constipation and was about to die, eating croton could solve the problem, but eating croton would cause diarrhea. However, in a serious life-threatening situation, diarrhea was a small matter, and one would rather have diarrhea to save one's life.
This was the case in the capital now. The shortage of housing was a very serious problem, and it was a big problem that could easily lead to the deterioration of the capital's public security. As for the fact that this policy would hurt some entrepreneurs and make them suffer, it was only a side effect of this policy. Moreover, the impact would be very small and would not be too big. It might even have a promotion effect.
There was absolutely no perfect policy in the world. Any good policy that benefited the country and the people would more or less have some loopholes and drawbacks. This was absolutely unavoidable, so there was the saying that you can't have your cake and eat it too. A person who made a policy had to consider all aspects. They had to do their best to make the policy have as many benefits as possible and as few side effects as possible. This was a good policy that could be recognized by more people and be a good policy that benefited the country and the people.
