Chapter 536: Buying Land
Xu Lang's plan was approved by a few people in Hoi An, but in fact, there were few people, Zeng Guangxian never came back, Li Fuqiang and Wang Zhaoxing were both in Puliange, and there were only four or five people in Hoi An.
Xu Lang planned to start attacking Hue as soon as Zeng Guangxian brought Lin Zhaolong's second division over, and tried to take Hue by mid-March. Then the forces of two divisions were transferred to Priango and the city was captured. At the same time, in order to contain Tao Min as much as possible, Xu Lang suggested to his family that it was best for Jiang Beiming to think of a way in Beijing, so that the imperial court could order Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou to fight Huang Taiji, hoping to use Huang Taiji's hand to transfer part of Tao Min's new Korean army to weaken Tao Min's strength to attack Japan.
Xu Lang's plan was put in front of the Yulin Bay Special Committee, which had only four people at home and the rest in Vietnam. Zhang Guodong called the people from the Military Commission and Qin Songwang again. After discussing it for a while, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan, and when Yulin Bay received this plan, maybe the Vietnamese side had already begun to attack Hue, so there was no point in discussing it. It's just that no one has a good idea of what Beijing should do. In the end, it was Zhang Guodong who came up with an idea and told Jiang Beiming the plan word for word, and let him do it himself.
Taking advantage of this meeting, Xia Yang said that the land reform on Hainan Island has been extended to Lehui County next to Wanzhou. However, Zhang Gang, the county magistrate of Lehui County, resolutely disagreed with Yulin Bay's practice of returning the ownerless wasteland to public ownership, and Xia Yang went there several times, but the county magistrate did not agree, and clamored to file a complaint with the governor of Guangzhou's yamen.
The land reform work was hindered in Lehui County, and Xia Yang had no choice but to suspend the work in Lehui County first and turn to other counties.
"Tianyang, you can't handle this matter?" Wang Hua said with a smile, "If we don't help you from the Second General Affairs Department, Chairman Qin's wife likes to kidnap tickets very much." ”
"Lao Wang, don't be kidding." Xia Yang said with a smile, "Solving the problem is the most important thing, you can help me think of any good ideas you can have, and you can't stop the land reform work because of this one county." ”
"Tianyang, why is this magistrate unwilling." Leng Tianbing asked, "Our land reform is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it does not harm the interests of the landlord, what reason does he have to oppose it?" ”
"I've looked into this." Xia Yang replied, "This magistrate Zhang Gang is a big landowner, he occupies a lot of land in Lehui County in the name of his younger brother, and there are many tenant farmers under him. I guess he was probably worried that after we divided the land, there would be no one to plant his land, so he didn't agree. ”
"Is it that simple?" Zhang Guodong asked, "Is there any other possibility, how are he and his brother doing?" ”
"As it stands, there is no other possibility, and we have no evidence that he was instructed by anyone." Xia Yang understood what Zhang Guodong meant, "As for the behavior of him and his younger brother, it can't be said to be too bad, nor can it be said to be too good." ”
Xia Yang's words made everyone present a little confused, and Qin Songwang asked: "How can it be called not too bad and not too good, is it good or bad." ”
"Let's talk about it." Xia Yang explained, "Through this land reform, we have found many problems that we have not found before. One of the most important is the personal dependence of the tenant peasants on the landlords. ”
"What's wrong with that." Shi Xianyang asked puzzledly, "Isn't the personal dependence relationship in the Ming Dynasty weakened a lot?" I remember that the law of the Song Dynasty stipulated that the landlord could reduce the crime by one degree if he killed a tenant farmer, and the law of the Yuan Dynasty also stipulated that the landlord who killed a tenant farmer would only be fined a certain amount of silver for burning and burying it, and he would not have to resist his life. However, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the unequal legal relationship between landlords and tenant farmers was changed, and the state no longer recognized the personal dependence of tenant farmers on landlords, and they were treated as commoners in law. ”
"That's the law, not the reality." Xia Yang said, "Needless to say, now, even in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the landlords in Shandong still retain the right to the tenants for the first night. ”
"What is the right of the first night, what is the right of the first night?" Qin Songwang asked ignorantly.
"Go home and ask your phoenix to find out." Shi Xianyang smiled, "Tianyang, I don't know where you saw this information, but there is a lot of controversy about this. ”
"We don't discuss that." Xia Yang stopped Shi Xianyang's debate that was about to start, "On the one hand, the Zhang Gang brothers are actually quite good to their tenant farmers, and they can still help them in time if they have any difficulties. But on the other hand, they also have a very strong control over the tenant farmers, and now those tenant farmers are basically obedient to them, so it is difficult for us to carry out the land reform. ”
"Didn't you do some publicity?" Dong Fei asked, "They should know that it is better to have their own land than to rent the landlord's land." ”
"It's propaganda, but it's useless."
Xia Yang gave a detailed introduction to the specific situation of the land reform work in Lehui County. Except for Zhang Gang, the magistrate of the county, who did not agree to hand over the ownerless wasteland to Yulin Bay for disposal, the peasants in Lehui County, including the tenant farmers, did not believe that there could be a free land distribution. I don't know who said it, but it was said that the land was divided and bought for silver, and the price was higher than the current land price. It can be done now without spending money, but it will be made up in the future, and interest will be paid.
"This person didn't say anything wrong." Shi Xianyang listened to Xia Yang's narration and said, "Originally, didn't we just sell the land, pay off the land in ten years, and I don't know if it will charge interest." ”
"But the problem is that this matter is getting more and more evil now." Xia Yang complained, "Some people even say that the annual interest is higher than the land price." ”
Everyone laughed together, and Qin Songwang said, "Tianyang, although I am now the chairman of the committee, you also know that I don't have any good ideas. You are the leader of the land reform team, and you have to figure out the last way to solve this problem. ”
"I knew I couldn't come up with a good way to discuss it with you." Xia Yang said, "I'll go to Lehui County with Sun Dalei and Liu Guannan in the next few days to have a look, and I hope the two of them can have any good solutions." However, Chairman Qin, I have a request, and our land reform group has the right to adjust the land reform policy. Of course, it is not a big change, but a fine-tuning for the actual situation in Lehui County. ”
"That's fine." Qin Songwang smiled, "As long as you don't come to ask, it's no problem." ”
"But Tianyang." Shi Xianyang spoke, "I'll say it first as a court judge, it's okay to fine-tune, but there can't be any measures against the law, you know what I mean." ”
Xia Yang smiled and asked Fan Qiuming, "Old Fan, you are also a justice of the Constitutional Court now, what do you mean?" ”
"I'm okay with that." Fan Qiuming, who had not spoken, said, "But I agree with Shi Xianyang's opinion. And I also have a small request, your fine-tuned policy should be reported to our Constitutional Court for the record. ”
Xia Yang arched his hand: "Two justices, I know." ”
At the end of the meeting, Qin Songwang had just returned to the office, and Luan Xu and Chen Yan came to the door. Because of the incident of the special investigation team last time, Qin Songwang and Chen Yan are now very familiar with each other.
"Why are you two here together?" Qin Songwang was very strange to Luan Xu and Chen Yanneng to come to the door together.
"Chen Yan dragged me here." Luan Xu smiled, "I was also entangled by him and had no choice, so I came to discuss it with you." ”
"Chen Yan, what can you do?" Qin Songwang brought two cups of tea to the two of them, "If you don't go home and accompany your daughter-in-law well, don't you hurry up and help your father-in-law do business, what can I do." ”
"It's that I want to help my father-in-law do business, that's why I came to you." Chen Yan sat down on the chair, held the teacup and said, "My father-in-law asked me to come to you, and he wants to do it himself now." ”
Huang Sanxiang has been working with Huang Yuansheng for so many years, and seeing that the big money has been earned by Huang Yuansheng, he can only take a small head after working hard all year round. Now that he has such a son-in-law as Chen Yan, he followed Sun Dalei around Qiongzhou Mansion, so he had the idea of coming out to do it himself.
"Huang Sanxiang wants to do it himself, what's the use of looking for me." Qin Songwang looked at Luan Xu, and suddenly seemed to understand a little, "He doesn't want to engage in real estate development." I can tell you, don't do this business, we have a few Ming Dynasty people in Yulin Bay before, and they all let Di Chong buy it, and he can't compete with Di Chong. ”
"My father-in-law doesn't want to engage in real estate, but it has something to do with real estate."
Huang Sanxiang has been doing restaurants and shops for so many years, so his initial plan was to open a restaurant and then a shop. Talking about this plan to Chen Yan, Chen Yan thought of the shopping malls of later generations, the kind of large department stores and supermarkets integrating shopping, leisure and entertainment. At present, there is no such shopping mall in Yulin Bay, if you can open a partnership with your father-in-law, you may be able to open up a new world in Yulin Bay.
But now the downtown area of Yulin Bay has basically been occupied, and the remaining vacant land area is not enough, and the land price is still very high. Chen Yan and Huang Sanxiang walked around Yulin Bay for a while, and looked at a place in the middle of the exhibition hall between Yulin Bay and Qiong Fair. This place is still a wasteland, but the location is very good, just next to the cement road from Yulin Bay to Qiongjiao, and it is less than half a mile away from Yulin Bay. Chen Yan walked through, and it only took forty or fifty minutes at most to walk from the commercial or residential area of Yulin Bay to this place, and the rental carriage was even faster. Moreover, Chen Yan believes that according to the current development trend of Yulin Bay, in less than two years, Yulin Bay and Qiong Fair will be connected, and both sides of the cement road will definitely be commercial areas. If you can take this land now, it can be regarded as an early investment.
So Chen Yan went to Luan Xu and asked about the plan of the land. The Planning Bureau has not yet had any idea about the land, but the ownership of the land has been taken into public ownership. As for whether the committee had any intention of developing and the land price of that place, Luan Xu didn't know, so Chen Yan pulled Luan Xu to Qin Songwang.
After listening to Chen Yan's narration, Qin Songwang smiled unconsciously: "Chen Yan, you really have foresight. But you're right, the line from Yulin Bay to the Qiong Fair will definitely develop in the future. But no one knows when it will be developed, and I might as well tell you that at least I didn't have such a plan during the days I was chairman. Then there is the land price, according to what you said, if you want to open such a large supermarket, you have to have at least ten acres of land. According to the current land price, the land money alone is likely to cost four or five thousand silver, can you and your father-in-law come up with this money? ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Chen Yan said, "We will find a way to deal with money, I just want to know if I can buy that piece of land and what procedures I need to go through." ”
Luan Xu smiled on the side: "Okay, Chen Yan, you are really rich, you will take out a few thousand taels of silver." ”
"Yes, no problem at all." Qin Songwang said, "You also know our current land policy, as long as it is not privately owned, as long as it is not land that has been expropriated by the committee, it can be sold, and it can be sold to anyone. As long as you have money, you can go to Luan Xu to go through the formalities. But I still have to remind you that now is not the future, we will increase in value if we buy a piece of land and put it there, and if it can't be developed, it will lose money. Don't forget that we have wasteland in our hands now, which can be sold at any time. ”
"But there's a problem." Chen Yan asked again, "Did I violate any regulations by doing this, and are there any regulations in this regard?" What if someone raises any objections in the future, especially from the Ming Dynasty? ”
"Don't worry, we've thought of this a long time ago." Luan Xu explained, "Now the sale of public land is not something you can buy if you want to, it must be auctioned publicly*** If you say that you are optimistic about the land, you can apply to our Land Planning Bureau, and we will conduct an auction, with the price you offer as the reserve price, as long as no one is higher than your price, you are the owner of this land." ”
"But what if you announce the development plan the next day after I buy it, then it doesn't count as a time difference for me to play in advance."
"Chen Yan." Qin Songwang looked at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "Are you here to buy land or to find the committee, how do I think you are here to find fault with us." ”
"Aren't I worried, too?" Chen Yan also smiled, "What if the situation like I said happens." ”
"Don't worry, it won't." Luan Xu added, "Now once any development plan is approved, the land transaction on the development site will be stopped immediately. All public land transactions in the first two months of the development plan are not counted and will be checked by our Planning Bureau. Of course, this may not be the best way to go, but it can only be done for now. ”
