Chapter 229: A Fiery Land Deal

Because there was a "small meeting" in advance, when the morning court was held the next day, the eldest grandson Wuji and others cooperated with each other to exempt the people from half of the taxes, which was easily passed. ć€åƒā–³åƒā–³å°ā–³čŖŖā–³ē¶²Ww W.xQqX 怑

And such a thing as adding a commercial bureau in the province of Dianzhong, compared with the matter of taxation, is naturally too small to be smaller, and naturally no one objected.

After all, in the eyes of many ministers, this so-called commercial bureau is actually the same as the laundry and cooking departments such as the Shangfeng Food Bureau and the Shangyi Bureau.

And the eldest grandson Wuji and others, who really knew the truth of the matter, didn't say anything at this time, and after returning home from the next dynasty, they began to let their families buy the owners one after another, ready to sell the land.

There is no trivial matter in the officialdom, especially a big man like the eldest grandson Wuji, his every move is a lot of attention, and after learning that he is ready to sell the good land, many people wonder.

"This eldest grandson's family is an emerging wealthy family, such a family does not buy land, but also sells good land, which is too abnormal, right?"

As the saying goes, "there must be a demon when things go wrong", knowing that the eldest grandson Wuji sold the land, many people began to inquire about the truth of the matter, but before they could find out why the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to sell the land, they were shocked by a new news.

Following Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, Lu Guogong Cheng bites gold, British Gong Li Ji, and Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling have all released news to sell land!

Although this statement is absurd, everyone can barely accept it, but it is intriguing for four princes to sell land together.

This is obviously!

The most important thing is that the three of them are the same as the eldest grandson Wuji, except for the fiefdom of Shiyi, not a single acre of extra land is left, all of them are taken out and sold, and the price is extremely low, only two-thirds of the market price!

Looking at this posture, it is quite a bit of a loss-making sale.

Faced with such a situation, many officials and nobles with a lot of land at home were anxious, and that night, they hurriedly took gifts to visit the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

And their purpose is naturally to find out if there is any important news hidden in the sale of the land by the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

In the face of these officials who came to the door with gifts to ask for advice, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not turn them away, but told them that the Tang Dynasty was about to be tax-exempt, and the land could not receive too much rent if it fell into their hands, so it was better to sell it.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling are Wenchen, so they naturally speak more tactfully, while Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji are much more straightforward as military generals. [Thousand ↑ Thousand ā–³ Small ↓ Say ā–³ Net W xQq ]

"The land is about to run out of value, the nobles only need to keep their fiefdoms, and it is better to sell the excess land as soon as possible, so as not to lose all their money in the future."

Cheng Biting Jin didn't lie, after all, Datang is not a later generation, and there is no saying that every inch of land is valuable, and even if there is land value, it is in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, like those farming land, it is good that an acre of land can be sold for four or five yuan now.

Many of the people who came to find Cheng Biting Jin were his subordinates, and these military attaches naturally believed the words of their old bosses, so after they went back, they only left a few acres of land that they cultivated, and sold the rest.

Under the leadership of the four national dukes, in just three days, more than 10,000 acres of land were traded around Chang'an City, and there was an endless stream of people who handled the land deed in Chang'an Mansion every day.

Almost all of the people who sold the fields were officials and nobles, and the people who bought the fields were basically the wealthy merchants of Chang'an City.

The people's attachment to the land is deep in the bone marrow, and only with the land can they have a sense of security, so although the rich merchants don't know why the nobles of the court sell the land, they still can't help but buy it.

A few days later, the land around Chang'an City had basically changed hands, and it was at this time that a piece of news circulated from officialdom.

Datang will exempt ordinary people from paying taxes within two years, and no one will be allowed to collect any form of tax from the people who farm except for the nobles rewarded by the court, otherwise they will be fined ten yuan per acre.

That is to say, in the future, except for those nobles who have food and can continue to be exploiters, other people will not be able to collect rent, who planted the fields, and whose grain is harvested, and others are not allowed to take it, and if they take it, they will be fined, and the amount of the fine is still high, and it is enough for the landlord to lose his wealth and his family in a few times.

As soon as the news came out, many businessmen who bought land in Chang'an City cried.

Pitters!

In contrast, there are more people laughing.

Those merchants who bought a large amount of land originally planned to eat the rent of the local owners in the future, but now it seems that not only will they not be able to eat the rent, but they will probably have to suffer lawsuits, so they simply took out the land and sold it again, but the selling price is more than half of the price they bought at the beginning.

And the people of Chang'an City who benefit are naturally, because they are backed by a big city like Chang'an, many people don't have much land in their hands, and many of them used to rely on helping others to grow to make a living.

But helping others to plant themselves naturally will not get much, such as the eldest grandson Wuji's field, the rent he collects is forty percent, that is to say, those people who planted his field harvest 100 catties of grain, he will take 40 catties.

And as far as the eldest grandson Wuji is concerned, he is already considered to have a conscience, and some landlords still take sixty percent, which is called a black heart!

But now it is different, now many of the fields around Chang'an City are for sale, and the price is still very low, Chang'an City can still be sold for three yuan per mu, to the farther one, can only be sold for two dollars.

Such a price is affordable for the people, so many people take out their savings for most of their lives and plan to buy some fields, so that they can also grow food and vegetables to make a living.

So in the past few days, the field trade has become popular again, and the number of people who go to the government to trade the land deed is several times higher than a few days ago, but this time it is the merchants who sell the land, and the people who buy the land are ordinary people.

The people of Datang know how to be grateful, and they know who gave them their benefits, so in the past few days, walking on the streets of Chang'an City, many people can be heard chanting "Long live my emperor", and Li Shimin's reputation has suddenly reached an unprecedented level.

Now Li Shimin was happy, every day he went to the court was full of red light, and after he got off the court, he put on civilian clothes and ran to Chang'an Street to listen to people say good things about him, which made him feel very happy.

In addition to Li Shimin, the Tang nobles who sold their land were also very happy, not because their land was sold for more than the merchants, but because they had a lot of face as a privileged class.

They all know that it won't be long before they are the only ones who can eat the rent, and this unique feeling is what they need.

This feeling is very cool!

As the land transaction in Chang'an City continued to heat up, the surrounding areas of Chang'an, including Jingzhaofu, also sold off the fertile land, after knowing the news, Li Shimin immediately called Gao Ming to the imperial study, and then told him about it with an excited face.

"Gao Ming, this is done, it's only been half a month, Chang'an City and Jingzhao Mansion alone, there are nearly 100,000 acres of fertile land in the hands of the people, I believe that in less than a year, such a situation will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty."

Looking at Li Shimin's excited face, Gao Ming immediately smiled and arched his hand at him.

"Then congratulations, when the time comes, the whole world will praise your name as a holy monarch, and when you announce that the entire Tang Dynasty will be exempted from agricultural taxes in the future, your prestige will grow a lot, and the name of a Ming Jun through the ages will definitely not be able to run."

Gao Ming's words can be said to have reached Li Shimin's heart, and he couldn't help laughing immediately.

"That's what I think, hahahaha......"

Overjoyed, Li Shimin took something from his waist and gave it to Gao Ming.

"Take it, you deserve it."

At first, Gao Ming didn't care too much, but when he saw clearly that the thing in his hand was Li Shimin's fish talisman, he was immediately taken aback.

The fish talisman of the Tang Dynasty was invented by Li Yuan, but its first function was not to identify himself, but as a proof of power, which could be used to mobilize the army and appoint and dismiss officials.

And Li Shimin's fish talisman, in addition to being able to mobilize more than 3,000 thousand Niu guards in the palace, can also mobilize 80,000 Jin Wuwei of the garrison division!

This is a lot of power, and it is no exaggeration to say that if Gao Ming wants to usurp the throne in a certain dynasty, then when Li Shina's fish talisman is handed over to him, he has already succeeded.

And Li Shimin handed over the fish talisman to Gao Ming, which was also equivalent to giving Gao Ming unreserved trust, and in the face of such a situation, Gao Ming was a little apprehensive.

"Uh...... Did you give the wrong thing, old man? What are you doing with this? Do you want me to rebel? Hey! ā€

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin immediately glared at him fiercely.

"This kind of thing is not allowed to be nonsense in the future, this fish talisman is for you, and if you hold this fish talisman, you can also kill some people's minds."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Ming's eyes immediately turned around, and then he laughed.

"Hey, old man, are you afraid that someone will assassinate me? You can rest assured, all the hundred cavalry guards around me are good at assassination, and you also know the strength of Huzi, it is not so easy for others to kill me. ā€

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately threw the fish talisman in his hand.

"Besides, our Datang family is a group of smart people, even in the face of our suppression, they are likely to choose to forbear, as long as you live, they don't dare to touch me, so you should keep this fish talisman, okay, I'll go back!"

After speaking, Gao Ming threw the fish talisman in his hand to Li Shimin, and then arched his hand towards Li Shimin and left.

Looking at his departing back, and then at the fish talisman in his hand, Li Shimin immediately shook his head and laughed.

"Gao Ming, this kid, I can't see through him more and more."
