Zeng Xingwu didn't have a good impression of the two yamen, the Taxation Department and the Internal Affairs Department, and the Taxation Department was better, and he also knew how much tax the Taxation Department had collected this time, and of course, he offended a lot of people.

However, the Internal Affairs Office, in Zeng Xingwu's view, is a yamen dedicated to collecting wealth for the emperor.

It's just that the means are more clever and will not make businessmen resist, but Zeng Xingwu always feels that something will happen.

"See the Governor!" After seeing Zeng Xingwu, Cao Yuan showed great respect and sincerity, which was more professional than Li Zhongxing next to him.

Zeng Xingwu nodded, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "The two of you came here today, it seems that you have something to say!" And it's not a trivial matter, so the official will listen to it. ”

Li Zhongxing and Cao Yuan naturally heard the dislike in Zeng Xingwu's words, but the two of them didn't care.

"Let's let Mr. Li talk about it!" Cao Yuan said with a smile: "I believe that Mr. Li's affairs can make Master Zeng happy." ”

Zeng Xingwu nodded, not impressed, turned his head to look at Li Zhongxing, waiting for him to speak.

At this time, Li Zhongxing was naturally not polite, and said directly: "The first thing, the Internal Affairs Office wants to buy a piece of land from Xuanda, which is on the edge of the South Canal!" As he spoke, Li Zhongxing took out a booklet and put it on the table.

Buying land?

Zeng Xingwu didn't expect that the first thing Li Zhongxing wanted to say was to buy land, which made him puzzled, and he didn't understand why the Internal Affairs Office did this. In fact, the Internal Affairs Office is the yamen of the imperial court, although it is the yamen of the emperor.

But whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are all royal yamen, and they don't spend money on things.

"This land is about 3,000 acres, and there are 5,000 acres of barren mountains around it, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to buy it." Li Zhongxing said with a light smile: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already checked, and these lands are all under the field, and they can't produce much grain. ”

Zeng Xingwu picked up the booklet and recalled in his mind the approximate location of what Li Zhongxing said.

It's really not a good place, but it's Tuntian, the land of Datong Military Town. In fact, Zeng Xingwu also knew that the land did not produce food, although it was by the river, but it used to be a barren beach, and there was no shortage of water, but the land was not fertile.

Although the area of land and barren mountains is not small, Zeng Xingwu still does not know what the Internal Affairs Office wants to do.

If you want to use this land, you can requisition it directly, Zeng Xingwu believes that it is very simple for the Internal Affairs Office to do this, and he doesn't understand why Li Zhongxing wants to use it. If you don't understand, don't open your mouth, which Zeng Xingwu understood after he became an official.

Li Zhongxing saw that Zeng Xingwu didn't speak, just looked at himself, and didn't care.

"Lord Zeng, this is actually a commercial act, in fact, this land belongs to the imperial court, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants this land to be used to see the wool textile factory. This is not a matter for the imperial court, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not represent the imperial court. ”

Li Zhongxing explained this, Zeng Xingwu instantly understood, and he also knew why Li Zhongxing did this.

Since this is the case, then this matter has the possibility of operation, Li Zhongxing even thought of the role of this money, and it is certain that it will be handed over to the treasury, but part of it will be left in the yamen of the governor of Xuanda

After this money is kept, there will be more things you can do.

No wonder the emperor proposed a conscription system, obviously after Xuanda recruited soldiers, the money for recuperation was paid by Xuanda himself, not by the imperial court. Then you need to find a source of money for Xuanda, and Li Zhongxing is here to send money to himself this time.

Of course, Zeng Xingwu didn't think that this was Li Zhongxing's kindness, so this kindness naturally came from the emperor.

"I don't know how much money Manager Li is going to pay to buy land?" Zeng Xingwu looked at Li Zhongxing and asked.

"Three thousand acres of land, eighty taels per mu, five thousand acres of barren mountains, forty taels per mu, a total of four hundred and forty thousand taels." Saying this number, Li Zhongxing's face was not red and he was out of breath.

In fact, Li Zhongxing used to be a Jin merchant, he knew the strength of these people, not to mention others, just the Li family, it was not a problem to mobilize hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at all, this land price Li Zhongxing knew that he had taken advantage, and the land price of the future generation: tsk!

could have taken advantage of more, but Li Zhongxing knew that the emperor would not let him do that.

When Zeng Xingwu heard this price, he almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, he was still thinking about many points just now, but Li Zhongxing's offer far exceeded the reserve price in his heart, and it was several times higher.

"Lord Zeng, regarding the land use, in fact, the Ministry of Internal Affairs divides the land into three types."

Li Zhongxing saw Zeng Xingwu's appearance and opened his mouth to explain.

Zeng Xingwu said with some hesitation: "I want to hear the details!" ”

"Land is divided into three categories according to different uses, commercial land, that is, building restaurant markets, etc., agricultural land, which is used for planting, and industrial land, which is used for workshops."

"Depending on the use, the land price is also different."

Next, Li Zhongxing popularized the three land use standards for Zeng Xingwu in detail, and then handed a document to Zeng Shengwu, and said with a smile: "If we do it here, then the capital will take this as a permanent example." ”

"All the land in the country belongs to the imperial court, and if someone wants to buy land, then they need to operate according to different prices."

"The Imperial Court will order the Department of Taxation to set a minimum purchase price for each type of land according to the location of each place, and whoever wants to use the land of the Imperial Court needs to buy it. There is no free lunch in this world, and the land belongs to the imperial court. ”

Zeng Xingwu looked blindfolded, and he could still do this, he didn't know what it was like.

In the past, the imperial court encouraged reclamation, and whoever cultivated the land was whoever, but now it's going to do this? It must be boiling again!

"What about the land that has been cultivated?" Zeng Xingwu raised his own questions.

"Agricultural land will not be subject to this restriction!" Li Zhongxing explained: "If the land is reclaimed, the imperial court will issue you a title deed, and then pay taxes according to the acreage, if not, it will be treated as hidden land." ”

Hearing about the hidden land, the corners of Zeng Shengwu's mouth twitched, and now the whole country is investigating the hidden land, and the tax department is making an uproar.

"Lord Zeng, you were originally a person who could enter the cabinet, and the emperor sent Lord Zeng to Xuanda, so naturally he did big things." Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "This will be a benchmark, Your Majesty said that this place is called a new area." ”

Zeng Xingwu was silent, and it took him a while to react, no wonder the emperor was so cautious.

After pondering for a long time, Li Zhongxing figured it out, he was a very smart person, and he quickly figured out what was going on. Although the impact is a bit big, and it will be a bit difficult to accept it for a while, Zeng Xingwu also figured out some things.

"If you see the wharf and the factory by the river, it will become a very prosperous place, Manager Li, don't you want to set up the mutual market there?"

Listening to Zeng Xingwu's words, Li Zhongxing smiled bitterly, sure enough, none of the people selected by His Majesty were easy to match. This Lord Zeng looked shocked, but this reaction was not slow, and he took out another document with a smile, and Li Zhongxing said: "Lord Zeng, this is another book to buy land." ”

Saying that, Li Zhongxing took out another document and said, "Use it to build a big market!" ”

Zeng Xingwu glanced at Li Zhongxing, and sighed in his heart, sure enough!

The vigilance was raised in an instant, although the head of the Internal Affairs Office was acting according to the emperor's requirements, he was also taking advantage of loopholes reasonably. After taking the document and looking at it, Zeng Shengwu's heart trembled again.

Another 3,000 acres!

In fact, these lands are not necessarily used for the time being, but Li Zhongxing is a businessman, and he knows that hoarding land is definitely the only way to make a fortune. At this time, the land will be tuned, once the big market is completed, the land price: tsk!

Zeng Xingwu put down the paperwork in his hand, didn't look at Li Zhongxing, but turned his head to look at Cao Yuan: "Cao Sicheng, are you under the control of the Governor's Mansion?" ”

"Of course!" Cao Yuan hurriedly spoke.

Zeng Xingwu nodded and said, "Then you and Bendu talk about what you came to do." ”

"Back to the capital, the lower officials are here to discuss with the capital to collect business taxes!" Cao Yuan's face remained unchanged and said: "The tax department here is ready to implement a new commercial tax in Datong, after all, the profits of grassland trade are very rich, and it is not okay not to pay taxes." ”

Zeng Xingwu completely understood this time that the money from the sale of land was for himself, and the new business tax was for Xuanda.

In this way, the money in front of you is solved, and the money in the future will be there, and who will pay for it, of course, is those businessmen. Although they will be a little reluctant, no one has to let you come, and you can not come to Datong.

But if you're coming, you have to follow the rules of Datong.

Now the businessmen outside are going crazy, and they have received a lot of letters and requests from their side. Once the textile mill is built, coupled with the big market, it will definitely be able to break the heads of countless people and merchants.

Zeng Xingwu thinks about it, and he knows how much profit there is, Yinshan Yinhai!

Thinking of this, Zeng Xingwu's heart appeared with the face of the young son of heaven, this plan was obviously not prepared for a day. From the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to the Yangzhou Salt Administration, to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to control the Salt Administration, this step by step is planned!

The planning is far-reaching, the planning is detailed, and the execution is perfect, your majesty is really thoughtful!

With great courage to change the salt administration, blocking the salt administration is equivalent to jamming the neck of the Jin merchants, opening trade in the northwest, allowing them to invest their money here, step by step, this plan is terrifying!

Li Zhongxing and Cao Yuan glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, just quietly waiting for Zeng Xingwu.

In fact, Zeng Xingwu also thought of one point, that is, his own military reform, changing the cantonment military system to the recruitment system, and Zeng Shengwu was originally worried about how to deal with those soldiers in Tuntian. After dividing the land, they did not see how good their lives were.

But now it seems that these people are not enough, and it is estimated that businessmen will go around robbing people at that time.

The tea in the south of the Yangtze River and the wine in the north of the Yangtze River, countless people will gather here, Zeng Xingwu was a little afraid to think about it, and hurriedly stopped his train of thought and forced himself to turn back to the matter in front of him, that is, to sell land.
