Chapter 1121: Tempest
The land prices in Qinzhou are one by one, but many housekeepers from the Central Plains waved treasure money and gold coupons but could not buy land. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info Port City has not yet been built, and there are now a bunch of temporary wooden houses on the planned commercial street.
But even these simple wooden houses are very expensive to rent.
In a store, the hall on the first floor was full of people.
Didian is a relatively novel shop nowadays, this kind of shop was originally just a warehouse in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but now it has become a place where both goods are piled up, and merchants are also housed, and at the same time, they also act as intermediaries for merchants to sell goods.
This shop was opened by the Li family, and it enclosed a large area, with a row of houses in front of it on the first floor of the trading hall, the second floor for dining, and the third floor for accommodation.
In the back row, there are warehouses.
The price of the Li family's mansion is fair, the conditions are good, and there are many security guards, and the goods are safe here, especially the dishes made by the Li family's cook, and the intermediary tooth people in the Li family's store, which are very powerful.
Many of the original guests from the original were staying at the Li family residence.
"I said Wang Yazi, I've been waiting here for several days, why haven't you taken a piece of land for me, what are you doing?"
A fat man dressed in silk kept fanning it with a folding fan in his hand, but the sweat on his face still kept dripping down. Sitting at the table, there was bayberry wine in front of him, but he didn't have the slightest idea of drinking it. He didn't come to Lingnan to drink bayberry wine.
The man known as Wang Ya was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, who was wearing a blue robe with the mark of the Didian, and said to the guest with an apologetic face, "Liu Daguan, I'm really sorry, there are too many people who have come to buy land recently, but the land in the hands of the government has been sold almost completely, and now it is restricted." ”
"What, purchase limit? Could it be that I have come all the way to buy land, but I can't buy land even if I have money? ”
Wang Yazi reassured him, "That's not what I said, but it's really not easy to buy now." The government stipulated that only those who had bought houses and shops in Qinzhou were eligible to buy land. ”
"Do I have to buy a house or a shop first?" That Liu Fat Man was not happy when he heard it, he wanted to buy a house and land in Qinzhou Port City, but now the real estate over there is not easy to buy, not to mention the high price, he can't buy it. You can only buy second-hand from others, but the price is extremely expensive.
"There's no other way to get the land?"
Wang Yazi said, "There are still ways, but it's more troublesome." Now the purchase of land in the hands of the government has begun to be restricted, so if we want to buy land, we can only buy it from those private hands. One is to buy from the local Han people, and the other is to buy from the slang fangs. However, now these Han people who moved early are also relatively intelligent, and they all hold the land and refuse to sell. It is that those slang fangs are willing to sell, but their land is not registered by the government, and they cannot sell their land without the title deed in their hands. ”
Fat Liu frowned.
"Unless."
Liu Fatzi's eyes widened, "Unless there is anything, Wang Yazi, you don't sell Guanzi." Help me get the land, I have a lot of money for your teeth, and if you buy more, I will have a reward. ”
Wang Yazi immediately smiled.
"I'll take Liu Daguan to meet a few slang fangs in a while, as long as we are willing to make a bid, persuade them to go to the government to register and get the deed first, and then we can trade."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find someone."
The land in Lingnan has indeed been rising recently, but no matter how it rises, it is much cheaper than the land in Jianghan. Especially in the vicinity of Hanjing, in the past three years, it has risen many times, but it is still priceless.
It is said that Lingnan is a good opportunity, who doesn't want to take the lead.
Wang Yazi took Liu Fatzi to find a slang man directly, this person is a big clan in a nearby Xiyuan, and he has a lot of land under his name. Qinzhou built a port, this person brought his clansmen over to help build a port, and by the way, he made a lot of money. Now he also rents a prefabricated house in the city to buy and sell goods.
Wang Yazi came over and offered to buy the land.
The slang man just smiled.
Now that the price of land has skyrocketed, this man is willing to sell some land. Sell some land and take the opportunity to make a profit, and then buy a house and shop in this Qinzhou port, and the future will be good.
However, he was still hesitant because the Qinzhou government recently issued a new regulation.
There must be a contract to sell land, and the government is willing to give the original landlords a free land survey and then register and issue the title deed. However, there is another important condition for this deed, that is, it must first be registered, not only the land must be registered, but even the person must be naturalized.
If this slang man wants to buy land, he must first voluntarily register for naturalization and become a subject of the Tang Dynasty, and then he can get the title deed and be eligible to sell the land.
The slang people were used to being free in the past, and even when the Ning family was there, they wanted to naturalize them many times, but they were unwilling.
Wang Yazi is a professional intermediary tooth man, his mouth is very powerful, he is proficient in slang, and after a long time, the slang man is finally willing to sell the land, but the price has increased a little.
After listening to the translation, Liu Fatzi thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "Buy!" ”
Verbally reached an agreement, Liu Fatzi didn't want to dream too much at night, so he immediately dragged the slang people to the yamen.
In order to take care of the recent large number of real estate transactions and to facilitate the taxation of merchant merchants in the port, the Qinzhou Yamen also deliberately set up a temporary dispatch agency in the new city that had not yet been built, which was specially responsible for these matters.
In the distance, there was a long queue at the entrance of this temporary yamen.
"Wenyuan is a good means, now that the land price is high, many slang people want to sell their land, so they have to come to naturalization and get the deed first, just this trick, let a large number of slang people come to naturalize."
For the government, population growth under its rule is one of the achievements of the government, and it is also the main achievement. And in those frontier places, where there are barbarians, if you can appease the barbarians and naturalize them, it will be a great achievement.
Li Chao's slight trick led to the naturalization of many slang fangs, which is certainly amazing enough. What's more, after these barbarians are registered for naturalization, they have to trade and sell land, and the government immediately earns a deed tax.
"Speaking of which, our deed tax is not too heavy, the tax assessment at the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stipulated that if the house is sold and the property is sold to cattle, horses, slaves and maids, the money is 10,000 and the tax is 400, the seller's tax is 300, and the buyer's tax is 100, which adds up to only 4%. And our current deed tax is directly one out of ten, and it is still borne by the buyer, which is a bit heavy. ”
From 4 percent of the assessed tax to 10 percent of the deed tax, it is indeed relatively high. However, it is not unacceptable for the buyer to bear the responsibility. Later, in the Song Dynasty, the deed tax was generally 3 percent, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was as high as 9 percent.
Although the excessively high deed tax can guarantee the tax revenue of the imperial court, it will also have some impact on the transaction. However, this tax rate was set by the imperial court, and Li Chao had no choice.
Moreover, in addition to promulgating the deed tax of 10 taxes, the imperial court also formulated a tax tax, stipulating that pawned houses and fields should pay a tax of 6 percent.
This tax is simply directly aimed at the Li family.
After all, now the Li family has the largest pawn industry in the Tang Dynasty, and the pawn tax has been increased by six percent in vain, which has a great impact on the interests of the Li family.
"Let's all be good people who pay taxes!" Li Chao said with a smile.
"For those who are willing to come to naturalization, we want to give preferential treatment, and those who come to naturalize will be given some cloth and rice noodles, and we must promote the benevolence of the court to them."
As a last resort, Li Chao was unwilling to use force directly.
Anyway, as long as these slang fangs don't do things and don't rebel, then under today's vigorous immigration tide, these slang fangs will also be quickly integrated and assimilated.
Above the Yangtze River.
The waves of the rivers and mountains, the river breeze is slow.
Cheng Qian stood at the bow of the boat, with his arms outstretched, feeling the wind of freedom.
Since leaving Beijing, Cheng Qian felt like a bird out of the cage, and his whole person was much more comfortable. He didn't get seasick, and when he was in Yangyang, he used to sail on the Han River with his teacher on a sailboat.
The Yangtze River is bigger than the Han River, and there are more boats on the river.
"Your Highness, there is Jiangzhou Port in front, and the local officials are already waiting to greet you!" Li Junxian came to report.
Cheng Qian waved his hand, "Send someone to spread the word, and Gu will not stay in Jiujiang." Let them not wait, go back. ”
"Your Highness, the officials of Jiangzhou are bent on visiting His Royal Highness the Prince, okay?"
Cheng Qian frowned, a little impatient. After leaving Beijing, he just wanted to go all the way to Lingnan. But when he left Beijing, he brought a huge team, more than 10,000 people. The daily march is slow, and every time they go, they have to be visited by local officials.
"No, if you see this Jiangzhou official, do you have to take a detour to Hongzhou? In this way, can the lone monkey reach Lingnan in the year of the horse? Send someone to inform the Jiangzhou locality, no need to wait. By the way, send people to hit the front station, except for the necessary supply places, the rest of the places do not stop. ”
"Yes." Li Junxian didn't say anything more, and bowed down.
Pingyang came out of the stern cabin and walked to Cheng Qian's side.
"You should see them, they are all courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, and it is good for you to be close to them." Pingyang said to his nephew.
Cheng Qian shook his head.
"I just want to arrive in Lingnan as soon as possible and see the world of Lingnan, and I don't have the heart to make peace with these local officials." Cheng Qian also did not think that his status as the crown prince would be shaken. He has the support of his teacher Li Chao, his uncle and grandson Wuji, who can shake him.
"Auntie, do you think the heroes and slang fangs of Lingnan really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian, like many courtiers, thought that the current situation in Lingnan was a little incredible. Such a powerful local force was actually cleaned up properly by Li Chao by dividing it by two, how is this possible.
Especially what Li Chao is doing in Lingnan now, it will shake the fundamental interests of these people.
Pingyang smiled.
"The calm in Lingnan today is just the calm before the storm. The quieter it is, the more violent the storm will be! ”
"Can we withstand the storm?"
"Of course, you should trust your teacher, but in fact, storms are not a bad thing. After the wind and rain, you can see the rainbow, and it will not be broken or standing. ”
Cheng Qian's eyes lit up with excitement, he was going to witness all this with his own eyes.
