Chapter 35 The Way Out and the Space for Upward Mobility

The core of Zhang Daozhu's liberal economic ideology is very simple, encourage real industry, curb speculation------ which does not require administrative orders, only need to wield the stick of taxation, and at the same time add a certain amount of investment to compete fairly with the other party.

If you start hoarding houses, then I will not talk about collecting taxes, but at the same time I will join in building houses, and then I will build again------ I can stretch to ten kilometers and twenty kilometers, and see if you can afford to hoard them!

I won't make a land red line to artificially cause a shortage of land supply, if your capital is big enough, you can boldly hoard it, thank you for pulling the urban construction of my Badaohe area, see if you have more capital or more land supply!

I can build more houses myself or have someone else build them, but can you afford a large number of vacant houses?!

You end up having to rent out and start raising the rent to offset the loss of progressive house taxes, which is okay, I can't control it, but I started building a four-story prefabricated slab building, you can't imagine it------ the rent is very cheap, and I don't make money from my investment.

Of course, this was only possible with the premise of urban planning.

The city of Badaohe is planned, and the private ownership of land means that you have to spend money to buy it first, and it does not mean that you can find a piece of land and occupy it, and then pay for it after building a house.

You can speculate in Lin'an City, and Yue Fei can also speculate in real estate, but their success cannot be replicated on Liuqiu Island.

The first is that there is no advance planning for the urban construction of the Great Song Dynasty, and the second is that the Great Song Dynasty has no awareness of public transportation.

Everyone can only live together haphazardly, and there is no way to expand the palace------

Zhang is working hard to create a society where everyone has a way out and room for growth.

Peasants, if you are content with the status quo, you will guard a few acres of land to grow your grain and vegetables, and the grain can be bought and sold freely, or it can be sold exclusively to the grain depot of the owner of Zhang Island, where the price of grain collected rises a little a year, although it is not much, but it is always allowed to be paid, and there is no arrears or price reduction.

If you are not satisfied with the status quo, you will combine the land with others, rent agricultural machinery to grow food or cash crops on a large scale, and save time and energy to start a small business.

If you are not satisfied, you can go to the estuary of Wenlai River in Borneo, which is ten days away, to buy land and plant, where there are 500 wen per acre of paddy fields, and there is no tax for two years.

It's too expensive, go to Australia to buy it, one penny and one acre of land, no tax for three years------ go there in fifteen days at the earliest, and forty days at the slowest at the latest.

I heard that the price of food in Beth City, Australia, is more expensive than that of Liuqiu Island.

Workers, if there is good technology, it is needless to say, which factory is not treated as the god of wealth?

Even if you sell your physical strength to move bricks and dig trenches, you can find work anywhere, and the wages are not low----- and if you go to Borneo and Australia, the wages are even higher.

Intellectuals, if they can't pass the imperial examination in the Great Song Dynasty, they can go up to the island to take the civil service examination, if they still can't pass the examination, go to the night school to be a teacher who teaches 500 Song characters, read and write------ and if they can't teach, then go to be a writer, write articles for major newspapers, and the manuscript fee will definitely be a lot!

Writing essays always hit the streets, no one received the manuscript, and no one read ------ that line, and finally went to Borneo and Australia to be a teacher of listening, reading and writing for 200 Song characters.

Can't teach this either?

You also deserve to be an intellectual!!

Factory owners, you can sell as many products as you produce, the competition on Liuqiu Island is fierce, go to the Great Song Dynasty to sell, if you can't sell it, you can go to Goryeo and Japan a little closer, and go to Tianzhu and Cairo a little farther, and you can also exchange goods!

If you want to expand your scale, expand your output, and expand your sales channels------ it depends on your own capabilities.

Needless to say, the way out and the upside of the businessman are that with the sea ships of Liuqiu Island, they can go anywhere they want------ New Oriental Company is a good example.

Zhang believes that he and his friends have changed the course of this era, but they really don't know how many people's fates they have changed.

Western Australia has found a gold mine, and it's not just one!

The news of the discovery of the gold mine suddenly began to be intensively reported in the "Liuqiu Shibao------ which literally killed the readers.

If you succeed and become rich by virtue of your family, fame, or technology and hard work, ordinary people will not be envious or jealous------ but just by virtue of luck, you will make a fortune casually, which is too heart-wrenching.

The point is that these reports are all truthful news.

When editor-in-chief Yang Youxing polished these news, he had the idea of not writing it!

He said to Qianqian Niangzi with red eyes: "Those guys fell casually, and they fell to a gold mine, and directly sold 200,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan!" ”

Qianqian Niangzi continued to play against him, saying, "Is that casual? People have been wandering around the mountains for half a year! I almost starved to death in the mountains------"

Editor-in-chief Yang Youxing said hatefully: "Gnawing dogs is stupid, I didn't find such a gold mine, and others ------ cheaper I would have gone to find a gold mine!" ”

"Come on, I don't know about you yet? You get seasick on the steam engine boat on the Badao River------ and you say you want to go to sea!

Ahh ”

The editor-in-chief of Yang Youxing found that the kangaroo was actually laughing at himself, so he immediately kicked it, and then turned around and ran away while it didn't react.

The guys who fell to the gold mine were all villagers from a fishing village on the edge of Taihu Lake, led by the three Gao brothers, Gao Xiaosan, Gao Xiaowu, and Gao Xiaoliu.

The three brothers were twin brothers born of one child, their mother died early, their family was poor, and they did not choose a name until they were teenagers.

Once my father was sick, I heard Lang Zhong say that he had to eat a catfish called "drill in the mud" to be cured.

When the three sons heard about this, they braved the bitter cold and dived under the water to find a catfish each.

Gao Laohan asked his three sons to weigh all the fish, but one was three catties, one was five catties, and one was six catties.

So the old man named the three twin brothers according to the weight of the fish.

The three of them have always been fishing for a living, usually practicing martial arts to boil their bodies, and the three of them have heroic characters and integrity, so they are quite famous in the local area, comparable to the legendary Nguyen three heroes.

Helplessly, the local fishing industry has long been controlled by the fishing tyrants, who use the underworld forces to arbitrarily suppress the price of fish, coupled with the Song Dynasty government every year to raise taxes, although the fishermen in the village fish all day long rain or shine, but can only be full, and there is no spare money.

Although the three Gao brothers have a skill, they are like most other villagers, they have no spare money to marry a wife, and only build a few grass houses at the high port by the lake, and live a life with their old father in patience.

Later, the old father died, and the three brothers began to have their own plans.

Gao Xiaowu said: "My three brothers burned this grass hut, went to kill those fishing tyrants, and then seized their property, rowed into the Taihu Lake so that the government could not find me, enjoy him for a few years, and let out this bird's breath!" ”

Gao Xiaoliu was overjoyed and said: "It's better to call the people in the same village------ those who marry wives and have children are not counted, only people like me!" ”

Gao Xiaosan thought for a moment and did not speak.

When his father died, he instructed him to try his best to let his two younger brothers marry, so as to continue the bloodline of the Gao family------ if he killed the fishermen, he might only be a water thief in this life.

But he didn't beat his two younger brothers, so he had to agree to gather his accomplices first.
