Chapter 130 Land Purchase (Eight Requests for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
"Okay, that's what the official wants! The children in the house should enjoy this thing more. Xie Baoqing and Wang Yue are not hypocritical at all.
He had a wife and two concubines, and his wife died early, leaving no man and half woman. The two concubines gave birth to two boys and a girl, and the eldest son is nineteen years old this year.
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Then bring some more." Then he took the initiative to ask: "The two adults suddenly came here today, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Xie Baoqing put away his smiling face and said with a straight face: "Master Gao and I are here to ask you about the guilt of Xingshi." Do you know that the current suburbs of Daxing County are going to be emptied by you! ”
Wang Yue said with a smile: "Lord Xie can't be so conclusive, ten rooms and nine emptiness are the things that Tartars did." Those people are alive and well now, and they are all voluntary, I didn't force them! ”
Xie Baoqing ignored Wang Yue's dead face and said, "I want to tell you that Daxing County's annual taxes and forced labor all rely on these people!" If you do this, how will Gao County Commander deal with the apportionment of the imperial court? Besides, I have long had a rule that farmers should not go out of a mile, but go in and out of the evening, and know each other's ways of work and rest. There must be a guide for a hundred miles away from home! Do you calculate how many miles of Daxing come to you? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, a quasi-illiterate monk-born dictatorial tyrant, drew the people of the world into prisons, which made Wang Yue extremely despised! The people of the world helped to abuse the people, and the sentence "do not compete with the people for profit" made the court unable to collect a dime of commercial taxes. All the taxes and salaries are borne by the peasants who dig in the soil. That is to say, all the industrial and commercial businesses of Wang Yue in the starting point city have no tax relationship with a copper plate in the imperial court. It's really that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, so it's no wonder that the world is not chaotic.
However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great turmoil in the world, and the stipulation that the scope of peasants' activities was only one mile had been seriously undermined.
Wang Yue still smiled and said: "Daxing and Wanping are next to each other, regardless of each other, these people haven't even come out of Shuntianfu!" ”
Gao Shiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, these people are here for me to prosper. What about tax payables? What about forced labor? Without these people, many fields would be desolate! ”
This means that Wang Yue's grade is higher than him, and he has made great contributions, otherwise he would have blown his beard and stared.
Wang Yue said to Gao Shiyuan: "Lord Gao, isn't the land of Daxing going to be barren?" I'll buy them all and collect taxes from me later. The people of Daxing are going to pay for the project according to the law, and my king will pay for them, right? ”
As far as Wang Yue knows, there have been two projects in recent years that require the people around Beijing to go out to conscription, both of which were two years later. One is the Gongji City built for the defense of the peasant army, and the Gongji City was renamed Wanping City in the Republic of China. Now that there is a starting point city, Wanping City will not be built again. Another project is that Liu Zunxian of the Ministry of Industry requested that the Beijing city wall be reinforced, and when the time comes, Wang Yue will be able to provide a batch of cement to solve the problem.
Hearing Wang Yue say that he wanted to buy most of the land in Daxing, Gao Shiyuan was stunned, and he said suspiciously: "In addition to the land of Xunqin, Daxing still has millions of acres of land. Besides, those squires don't necessarily sell! ”
Wang Yue smiled and said: "There is no one in Daxing, they don't sell the land, do they grow it themselves?" As long as someone sells the land, my king will take it all, and I can also buy the land of those Xun relatives, and the price will be according to the price before the Tartar entered the country. ”
The terrain of Daxing is flat, and it is also the place where the CDB and residential areas of the capital are concentrated in later generations. According to Wang Yue's development, in the future, there will be every inch of land, buy it first and farm it, and then lay it out later. With Wang Yue's demonstration effect, those squire landlords who took the money are likely to devote themselves to industry and commerce in the future. As for land reform, that's not something Wang Yue should worry about now.
Xie Baoqing was also frightened by Wang Yue's generosity, how much does it cost? Ten million taels?
"Sihua, you, you have so much silver?" The starting point city was full of valuable things, but Xie Baoqing still couldn't believe that Wang Yue could take out so much cash.
Wang Yue said nonchalantly: "Silver, gold, and grain can be paid, if you want food, I can add another 10% to the original price to pay." ”
Gold can only be used in small amounts, and in the future gold will be used as a reserve. The use of silver is controlled so as not to cause inflation in the Ming Dynasty. Food is a consumable, which can be used in large quantities, and it can also increase the total amount of food in the Ming Dynasty.
Daming is full of hungry people, isn't there enough food? Therefore, grain is more pleasing than silver, and the price of this grain is rising every year! Especially this time, the Tatars entered the Kou, the Beijing division was under martial law, and the price of food in the city was soaring! In Wang Yue's place, it was reversed and a big sale was played.
Xie Baoqing asked puzzledly: "You have indeed bought a lot of land, but this has not been harvested yet, where did you get all this amount of grain?" ”
Wang Yue smiled and said, "You don't have to worry that I don't have food, I have never bought the food used by so many people in the starting city." ”
That's true, Wang Yue hasn't bought a grain of grain yet. Not to mention food, the starting point city is self-sufficient in everything, and in terms of food and clothing, it is better than the people in the capital.
For these supplies, Wang Yue stayed in another plane for several months. To his own amazement, his physical fitness has been getting better and better since he was reborn.
Xie Baoqing asked curiously, "Where did you get these things from?" ”
"Didn't I say that? Secret! Wang Yue looked at the ceiling with both eyes and said.
"You!" Xie Baoqing really had nothing to do with Wang Yue, so he had to ask Gao Shiyuan, who didn't speak on the side: "Mingpu, what is your opinion?" ”
Gao Shiyuan saw that Xie Baoqing didn't have the prestige of Shuntian Mansion Yin in front of Wang Yue, and it seemed that he couldn't count on it.
However, Wang Yue's suggestion is acceptable to him. Why? Peace of mind! Taxes are really not so easy to collect, and the taxes in the village and township are usually handed over to the chief of the bao, or the squire and landlord, and the people in the county will not easily go to the countryside. There are many under-reported and concealed reports, and many of those squires are famous families, and they don't know how much tax exemption they have. Not to mention those honored relatives, who want to collect taxes, no way!
Although Wang Yue is an official, he also has a tax-free quota, and the five-grade official is only 8,000 mu, and there are more acres of land to pay taxes.
As for whether the squires sell the land or not, Gao Shiyuan thinks that if they don't sell it, they have to sell it, because there is no one to farm the land.
Conscription is even simpler! The imperial court is allowed to pay for conscription, and looking at this starting point city, you also know that Wang Yue is not short of money. When the imperial court levied and issued conscription, according to the number of heads registered in Daxing, he made a register by himself, and threw it to Wang Yue, take the money! How good is that? The provincial conscription and conscription were full of complaints, and even forced people to die.
