Han Chongyun said again: "I heard that the imperial court is preparing to set up a steel prison in Huazhou. ”

"I've heard about it too," Song Jiu said. Han Chongyun is talking about the actual total output of iron and steel, and the actual total output will not reach three or four times, because many pit mines are completely state-owned, but it is estimated that the real output will increase by two times. The steel supervisor's technique is still being adjusted, and it is inevitable that this adjustment period will take at least three years. This is also the reason why the imperial court has not set up a prison in Huazhou. But the national iron pit is still in the north, Hunan I don't know whether the road has been implemented, that is, the implementation will be next year, the original iron ore from Hebei, gradually Hebei iron ore is no longer south, even the iron ore of Jingdong Road is gradually decreasing, mainly from the iron ore near Xuzhou.

"Honestly guard this knowledge, and you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life."

Song Jiu was silent.

Han Chongyun said again: "Why is it so difficult for you to raise shares? ”

Song Jiu shook his head, if it was like what Han Chongyun said, I am afraid that Wang Quanbin alone would get more wealth than the money he raised. Some of the yamen really don't have money, such as Zhang Lin, that's a minority, and most of the yamen still have a lot of money in their families, so it's embarrassing for them to take 10,000 yuan, and it's okay to take 3,445,000 yuan. However, there are now a total of 135 people and 93 families participating in the government, and the money raised is less than 300,000 yuan, of which more than 30,000 yuan is from the people of Lianghe. If the Zhao Kuangyi brothers, the Gao family, the Pan family, and the Shi family are removed, the more than a dozen big families will be raised.

"Song Jiu, more than ninety percent of these Yanei family backgrounds are better than you, but they have too much to share, although you took the initiative to promise to pay more taxes to the imperial court, which was handed over to the imperial court. It's not personal. You lowered the deed shares again, and the actual money you paid was only more than 10,000 silk that the emperor and Kaifeng Mansion rewarded you. And some bounty, that's it. You also moved some of it to Henan. If you were Yanei, what would you think? Han doesn't know how much money Ludao Hezhou will make in the future, but seeing your weird layout, it's like a playground, and you will make a lot of money a year. However, you can't be too greedy......"

"General Han, that's the opportunity I gave Yanei."

"But for what you have repeatedly tempted the Yanai, you give the Yanai a chance, and the Yanai is also giving you a chance. There's no money yet, so let's let it go. Otherwise, once it is open, there will be more things, and it has nothing to do with Han, although Chongye Chongxun follows you, Han will not be short of money, but seeing that they are bored and idle, it is better to give them two or three thousand dollars, which can be regarded as finding something to do for them. ”

"Teachable." Song Jiu said respectfully.

Whether it was the inside story of Bashu's side, or the thoughts of these Yanei family members, Han Chongyun's words benefited Song Jiu a lot.

Leave Han's house.

When he returned home and closed the history book together, Han Chongyun couldn't have made it clearer. You can't even turn over the history books yourself.

Then gather the people in the ya, and Song Jiu handed over a deed.

This is a new deed stock, and Song Jiu reduced his deed stock by half. At the end of the year, there can only be 3 million yuan in shares, and the first dividend will be paid in the following year. It can only be used for 200,000 yuan, and it can bear the imperial court tax and commercial tax at the same time. and the castle tax.

The imperial court tax is the more than 5 million land rent paid by Song Jiu, the commercial tax is divided into tax and tax, the tax is two percent of the total local sales or total business volume, the tax is sold to other places, and three percent of the total amount must be paid on the way, and now the tax system is not standardized, most of them are a tax, and then the tax flooded, if it is far away, it can pay more than a dozen taxes. However, this tax can only be levied on small and medium-sized businessmen, large businessmen and officials, so some businessmen in Jiangling Mansion and other officials go to Sichuan to take up their posts, and then invite him to sit on the boat, take the boat for free, and give thousands of dollars to reward the face, that is, to report the name when passing the checkpoint, and take out the seal letter, which is the official's goods, and then the heavy commercial tax will be saved.

There is only tax on the river island, and there will be no tax, but the profit will be very large, and this must be paid.

The city tax is the most chaotic tax system in the Song Dynasty, divided into land tax and housing tax, which is not very high, and is divided into several grades, and then divided into ten classes, and the lower ones are exempt from taxes, and the higher the higher the tax, the more taxes are paid. The actual implementation is not strict, and it has not been strict since the beginning of the Song Dynasty. Song Jiu's original old house used to pay a few hundred dollars a year, but now there are no servants who come to the door to raise taxes. In fact, this money is still aimed at third- and fourth-class households, a small number of second-class households, and the middle class is also sad in the Song Dynasty!

However, once Hezhou is built, the price is expensive, and it is estimated that it will have to pay several thousand guan a year, and if it matures, it can even hand over more than 10,000 guan.

There are other small miscellaneous taxes, which are not much at this time, and there is no such thing as shop money and booth fees, tooth money, service money, ding tax, horse raising money, etc., and there are some of them, some of the forced labor that has been apportioned, and buying, which can be replaced by money or goods. This must be regarded as an operating cost, and it has nothing to do with Song Jiu.

But Song Jiu made a concession, so all the test costs related to Hezhou, including the migration costs paid in advance, must be spread over the cost, and Song Jiu's advance payment in the future is a favor, and it is his duty not to pay in advance.

and a series of provisions, including the right to operate, the right to manage, the right to manage accounts, and related responsibilities. Including the future investment will be based on the current deed stock dividends, but Song Jiu's dividends can be allocated, the principal has nothing to do with Song Jiu, and continuing to invest is a favor investment, and Song Jiu can also withdraw it at any time if the funds are allowed. However, in order to appease everyone, this money will try not to withdraw all of it, but continue to invest it as the principal, and there will be no dividends.

However, there is one article, the matter of the gold shop is very involved, and it will not be dealt with for the time being.

There are eighteen articles in total.

The back is all secondary, mainly the first few articles, Fu Zhaoshou looked at Song Jiu suspiciously: "Jiulang, why do you want to lower your deed shares?" ”

Could it be that there is a story behind it?

"San Lang, the significance of Hezhou is not trivial."

Fu Zhaoshou nodded, sometimes Zhao Kuangyi took his sister back to his parents' house occasionally, his mother complained, Zhao Kuangyi said something, the court didn't care if the money was not rich, and the small sandbar was tossed by Song Jiu, even if he was tossing with a group of coolies, His Majesty would not ask. It's those techniques that matter. Even I put a lot of money into it to help him, and let a few brothers-in-law spend some money to have fun, and they won't lose money.

This could not be clearer.

"I mean it to the country, but to us. Many people wonder how much money it can make, and I'll talk about it here. It's going to make a lot of money, and it's too much money to imagine. Although I have a lot of shares. In the future, in order to prevent the scholars from talking, or other nobles who have not joined the shares, I will increase taxes to the imperial court in the future. But I can't add it up, I may have much more than you. So give up another half and make a balance. But in fact, this concession is extremely unfair to me, and if you have any other ideas, then I will take the money back as soon as possible, and I will recognize its interest. ”

"Kuro. We have nothing to say. ”

This one is basically psychologically balanced. Song Jiu would not be happy again, after all, all this was created from scratch, and Song Jiu's knowledge was needed.

No matter how rich you are, you can't change it. Is there no land on the outskirts of the capital? Yes, the terrain of Hebei is better opposite the sandbank, and there are both sides of the Wuzhang River and both sides of Caishui, but that one dares to promise to operate for fifty years. More than 5 million yuan to the country!

"Look at it, let's go to Kaifeng Mansion to sign the pledge, this contract will be a permanent contract."

So a group of yamen continued to look at it and made a few small requests. It's not too much, Song Jiu added it, a total of twenty-three. He came to Kaifeng Mansion with the officials.

Zhao Kuangyi took the contract and looked at it, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Two kings. What's wrong? ”

"The imperial court did not point out the need for commercial tax, city tax and forced labor, and buying."

It turned out that the imperial court meant that the taxes paid by Song Jiu included these together, and now Song Jiu took the initiative to admit it. will also pay, that's a loss.

"Second king, I said to Your Majesty that I am not bitter because of the extensive taxation of the people, not all of them are apportioned to the poor people. But even so, the rich still take a big advantage, so the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and the mergers are serious. If you want the country to be stable, Hezhou is an example. ”

Song Jiu didn't dare to say more, but the meaning was very clear, that is, the richer you are, the more you have to pay taxes, and the country can last for a long time.

"If so, your burden will be heavier."

"Second king, don't worry, maybe your majesty will regret it the year after tomorrow."

"If you let the royal brother regret it, this regret is good, I am afraid that you will regret it, and when the truth is revealed, the imperial brother will also be infamous in the annals of history. If His Majesty can regret it, it will not be infamy, maybe it will be a beautiful thing. But I ask you, why do you cut your own deed shares? ”

"To be content is to be happy." Song Jiu replied calmly.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent, and said after a while: "Do it well, the gentleman is not guilty, and Huaibi is guilty." ”

This sentence is very subtle.

It may be the means, it may be the status, or something else. But Zhao Kuangyi said again: "But it's not easy for you to come up with contentment and happiness." ”

As he spoke, let the officials come in and sign the pledge.

At least legally, it was a very valid contract.

A large crowd of people flocked to the workshop to eat and drink.

A few days later, the displaced people arrived.

Song Jiu didn't say Han Chongyun, and Han Chongyun didn't say Song Jiu, after listening to his opinions, including Zhao Pu and others, they all thought it was okay, it seemed that Han Chongyun was very competent as the foreman.

But there are many things, there are labor, there are good deeds, but most of the victims have nothing. First of all, they have to build a disaster shelter and start to open a big pot of rice for dinner, but the biggest problem is that autumn is getting deeper and deeper, and winter will come in the blink of an eye.

These victims have no bedding, no thick clothes, charcoal fire in the shed is easy to cause fire, the displaced people came, unlike the displaced people between the two rivers, Song Jiu could not see any reference value, but it was this displaced person, seeing the actual situation, Song Jiu was also distressed.

Not only Song Jiu, but Han Chongyun also realized this problem, found Song Jiu, and said, "Jiulang, if we don't handle it well, the people will freeze to death, and we will all be in trouble at that time." ”

The displaced people of the Song Dynasty are divided into narrow and broad senses, for example, the original tenants who lived in the Song Jiujia did not register their household registration in the local government for various reasons, and belonged to the black hukou, also called the exiles. Not only in the capital, but also in various cities and pit mining workshops, there are quite a few of them, and with the development of commerce in the later Song Dynasty and the increase in the floating population, they also want to avoid taxes, resulting in more such people.

In addition, there are temporary displaced people caused by military disasters and natural disasters, the former basically have a stable life, that is, the difference between living a better life and a little harder, and most of the latter will be hard. In the past, a group of soldiers entered the box, and the salary was small, but there was some money, grain, rice, silk and salt, and the family made peace, and there was food, drink, clothing and housing. Or find another way to survive, and the problem is solved by the individual owners. Or in the nature of relief, the government will subsidize some clothes, and temples and large households in various places will also give some old clothes. People will freeze to death, but no one will be responsible.

Now it is included in the entire construction system, and only Han and Song can bear the problem.

Song Jiu thought for a long time and said: "General Han, first use Ma Ge instead of silk silk, anyway, there are many families with old women, and they can't do heavy work, so it's better to organize them to cook and wash vegetables, or make clothes, and get through the difficulties in late autumn first." If I change the treatment a little more, the court can also be flexible. ”

"How do I work around?"

"We used to use migrant workers in the capital here, but now that the victims have arrived, they have squeezed out part of their income, and we will feel a little unfair. Therefore, their salaries will be cut, but they will not actually be cut, and the money will be used to buy old clothes as a priority, old clothes and old quilts, and save costs. At the same time, I took out another 2,000 horses of silk to make money and put it into it. ”

"This is a good idea, and I will also donate a thousand horses of silk for charity. What about the problem of heating in winter? ”

"It's not difficult, but the difficulty is that you may not be able to buy enough thick clothes, blankets, blankets and wool." In fact, at the end of the day, it's money. Song Jiu has money, but he can't use it, it is the share deed money in the ya, and his own money will be pasted to the east and the west, and then he will take out two thousand pieces of silk, which is less than six thousand yuan. Han Chongyun has more money on his side, but this is the money of the imperial court, and the imperial court has fewer hired workers, more of them are soldiers and civilian servants, in order to save costs, and they also dare not embezzle it excessively.

In this era, if you launch a disaster relief party, it is not very good, is it the work of ordinary people to buy the hearts and minds of the people?

Song Jiu paced to Henan, the two projects here were basically over, and the workshop did not build any houses, but built a courtyard wall, surrounded more than 100 acres of land, and then leveled and paved the sewer. Either the farm is only about 20 acres of land, not much, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, only if it has three or four acres of first-class land can it be regarded as a first-class household, if it is a third-class field must reach more than 400 acres to be a first-class household, if those saline-alkali land or other inferior land, that is, the ninth-class field must reach more than 1,000 acres to be a first-class household. Song Jiu's more than 20 acres of land are considered second-class fields, and if they are divided from this, they are only fourth-class households. But that's impossible, Song Jiu has long been a first-class household, but to Song Jiu's surprise, no one actually came to collect the taxes of various first-class households.

At least Lu Duan won't be afraid of himself.

Boss Hu is taking a group of people to do the most difficult task, this land does not need to build a wall, but when it is bought back, it is uneven, and it must be leveled and ploughed and exposed to the sun, as for what Song Jiu will do in the future, Boss Hu does not ask.

Twenty acres of land in the Song Dynasty is not a lot of land, but it looks like the area is not small, that is more than 10,000 square meters, if it is in Hezhou, Song Jiu will carefully consider the use. Song Jiu looked at these cultivated fields and suddenly had an idea...... (To be continued......)
