Chapter 229 Selling Land and Property for the People
On the outskirts of Bianliang City, the lights are bright, and small tents are lit by candlelight in the forest.
Yang Lin hugged the kind of Guiyi, looked at the bright starry sky for a while, and told her a few small stories of the future, and a group of warblers and Yanyan gathered around, all of whom were very interested.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day everyone cleaned up and returned to Zhaodefang.
Yang Lin stayed and prepared to auction the land, and there were gentry and officials gathered early in the morning.
For the people of this era, the field is the most valuable treasure, and it is an heirloom.
Selling the land is regarded as a great unfilial piety, which is the so-called cub selling the field.
Now there are large tracts of fertile land, and if they want to be formally auctioned, how can not many people come.
Many people are also interested, but they don't have the strength to watch, so they can only watch from the periphery.
Yang Lin had already asked people to make accounts, and in the name of Yun Niang, he bought a large piece, and these were set aside and no longer participated in the auction.
Long live the camp set up a lottery platform and maintained order at the scene, among which there were many Bianliang nobles, who came with money to buy their own land.
Qin Qingqing, who was left behind, was dressed in men's clothes, and after serving Yang Lin to wash, Lu Qian and Lu Wangcai hugged him to the stage.
Pressing his hand and signaling everyone present to silence, Yang Lin coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, Bianliang City has a population of one million, and the daily consumption of food is amazing. Every time there is a natural disaster, there is a danger of running out of food, and our Great Song Dynasty suffers from it.
The funny thing is that around Bianliang, there are large areas of fertile land that are barren, which is simply ridiculous.
The official will not say much about this matter, and they have all been punished, and today they are full-time auctioning off the property. ”
Everyone is gearing up and ready to buy more, after all, all auctions are won by the highest bidder.
Yang Lin chuckled lightly and said, "Today's auction is different from the past, everyone present can come forward to participate in our lottery." If you grasp it, you will have the opportunity to buy the land, and if you can't pay it, you will be abstained, but this quota is not allowed to be transferred. Moreover, per mu of land, it is only sold for 300 Wen, and no price will be raised! ”
There was a burst of exclamations in the crowd, this is a naked concession to the people, the people present all cheered, but the magnates had a cold face.
In this way, they lose their advantage, and all the people can participate in the sale.
When the Great Song Dynasty was founded, the price of dry land in Kaifeng Prefecture averaged 300 wen per mu, but that was already the old yellow calendar.
In the eighth year of Jiayou, Wu Chong, the transfer envoy of western Beijing, ordered Jiyuan to repair the canal weir built by Wen Zao in the Tang Dynasty, so that a large amount of local land was changed from dry land to paddy fields, and rice was replanted, and the price of land immediately rose: "When the mu was more than 100 dollars, now it is a few thousand dollars, and the thickness can be seen." ”
Originally, each mu of dry land was only worth more than 100 Wen, but since then it has risen to nearly two times, and the value has increased by about 20 times!
Yang Lin was also heartbroken in order to return the cultivated land to the farmers, only they would sincerely farm and provide Bianliang with the food produced nearby.
It really fell into the hands of those powerful people, and they had the means to fight with the court in a sloppy way, and it was a big deal to build a house.
The auction lasts for half a month, anyway, it is not the spring ploughing season, and there is time for the people to come and draw lots.
The Bianliang Chamber of Commerce made by Yang Lin strongly supported the auction and provided materials and manpower for drawing lots.
This unprecedented auction on the outskirts of Bianliang is really nothing compared to Cai Jing's new policy.
However, this is already the biggest political thing that Yang Lin can do, which he completed independently and formulated the charter.
This is already the right of the prime minister, and the official positions of Kaifeng Fuyi, the three divisions and the young minister, can be called the prime minister, but it is not Cai Jing's left servant who is the chief prime minister.
Today's Yang Lin has become another young prime minister in addition to Wang Huang.
Wang Huang's house, promoted to eight levels in a row, relying on the hidden Liang Shicheng, is faster than Yang Lin, a close minister of the Son of Heaven who was born in the champion.
Sometimes, the real history is absurd that can't be written in a book.
The news of the auction spread far and wide, spreading to every corner of Bianliang, and nearby towns came one after another, writing notes on several acres and acres, which were exhausted in less than three days.
The next step is to take the note, pay the money on the spot to buy the land, and receive the title deed.
In order to prevent the private buying and selling of notes, it is not allowed to go out, and once the notes are taken out and come back, they will be invalidated.
Most of the people came with enough money, and some really didn't have money and came purely to make luck, so they were all blown out and redrawn.
Yang Lin walked between the ridges with a smile, looking at the hot scene, and nodded secretly.
What I can do can only go so far, to ensure that the people can buy arable land to the greatest extent.
The Great Song Dynasty gathered the strength of the whole country to support Bianliang, concentrated the power of the imperial court, and also increased the burden of the great city of Bianliang.
Every time there is a shortage of grain, it is a crisis that affects the country's capital, and it is necessary to curb the unhealthy trend of cultivating land in Kaifeng Prefecture without farming.
As he walked, suddenly a group of people in front of him gathered around a table selling fields, and there was a faint sound of scolding.
Yang Lin walked over quickly, pushed aside the crowd, and saw several officials inside reprimanding a girl.
The girl had two lines of tears on her face, a note in her hand, and refused to let go.
Yang Lin saw that it was the girl again, and secretly said that he really had some fate with her. 、
Lu Qian just wanted to step forward to ask, but he grabbed him, and stepped forward in person and said, "What's the matter?" ”
When the official saw Shaozai coming, he hurriedly came out from behind the table and said, "Shaozai, this person drew ten acres, but only took out four acres of money." According to the rules set by Shaozai, she should be beaten out, but seeing that she was a weak female streamer, the villains persuaded her a few words. ”
The girl was so embarrassed, when she saw Yang Lin, she was ashamed and wanted to get into the cracks in the ground. His hands twisted the skirt around his waist, and the bean-sized tears kept falling.
Her grandfather was angry, left a little property, and raised her children whitely, who knew that later her parents fell ill and spent all her savings, not to mention a lot of foreign debts.
Today, I finally had the opportunity, and I was favored by God to draw some land, but I was shy in my pocket, and begged her to go back and borrow some, but the official just refused.
As soon as Yang Lin stretched out his hand, Lu Wang behind him immediately understood what he meant, untied the money bag and handed it over.
Lu Wang's money bag is bulging, although he spends a lot, his money is really not low.
Yang Lin counted out half of the time, and said with a smile: "This girl has some friendship with me, I will pay her first, and you can get a land deed for her." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only a back of the peasant girl, which caused her to tear up and peek twice.
As soon as Yang Lin left, the attitude of the officials instantly improved, and they laughed around her: "What did this girl say, why didn't you say it earlier if you know Shaozai, it's not a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, the villain has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, this is your title deed, the girl took it." ”
