Chapter 175: The government sells land
Qin Guan is not afraid of spending money, he thinks about how to spend it.
It's absolutely not okay to take out the money directly, it will only make everyone think that you are an outlier.
After careful study, he finally came up with a way to break the game.
After Xu Tong came over the next day, he was stunned after listening to Qin Guan's method, and said in surprise: "Sell land to raise money? ”
"Yes, sell land to raise money."
Qin looked at the several maps that were hanging up, pointed to one of them and said: "This is the map of Xiongzhou City, I found that the land in the city, except for the ones that have been sold, the rest are basically in the hands of the government, we can put these lands up for sale, can't we exchange them for money." ”
Xu Tongju frowned and said, "Lord Prefect, I'm afraid this is difficult. ”
"Xiongzhou City is underdeveloped, the population is small, the land is very abundant, adults should have seen it when they came, there are about 1,000 acres of idle land in the city, and the local rich people are also those, these lands have actually been listed for sale, and they have basically bought everything they want to buy."
"Besides, the land in Xiongzhou City is not valuable, if adults want to attract people with a large price reduction, how can they make up enough for the required expenses."
Qin Guan smiled and said: "There is no need to reduce the price, just sell it at the current price, and naturally someone will buy it." ”
"How is that possible?" Xu Tongju said incredulously.
Qin Guan didn't explain, and continued: "I asked the ceremony to check the information last night, and the idle land that can be sold by the government in Xiongzhou City is now 1,123 mu, and the official listed price is 18 guan per mu, which is 20,000 guan. ”
"It's twenty thousand two hundred and fourteen." Xu Qing immediately said.
Qin Guan pointed to another map and said, "You said yesterday that it takes 50,000 yuan to resettle these displaced people, and even if you sell all the land in the city, it will still not be enough, so I wonder if you can sell the land outside the city." ”
"My lord, in addition to private fields outside the city, there are barren slopes and barren mountains, barren slopes are not valuable, according to the price here in Xiongzhou, one mu is about 100 yuan, as for barren mountains, no one wants them." Xu Tongju frowned and said.
Qin Guan drew a circle with his finger and said: "An acre of wasteland is not valuable, isn't it worth more, Xiulong Mountain, fifteen miles southwest of Xiongzhou City, should be a borderless land under the management of our government." ”
Xu Qing was stunned: "My lord, you don't want to sell Xiulong Mountain, do you?" ”
"Can't you sell it?"
Xu Qingdao: "Yes, yes, but who would want it." ”
Qin Guan pointed to the map and said: "I heard the warden say that the scenery there is good, the green mountains and green waters are beautiful, and it should be a good place to visit and recuperate." ”
Xu Qing nodded and said: "I've been there, there are indeed mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery, if it is in Jiangnan, there must be people who are willing to buy it, but in Xiongzhou, I'm afraid no one will spend money to buy there." ”
"How do you know if you don't try."
"How much is the Lord going to sell for an acre?" Xu Qing asked.
"Listing 100 money, what do you think?" Qin Guan asked.
Xu Qing said bluntly, "I don't think anyone will want it." ”
He felt that this prefect was too whimsical, Xiongzhou was located on the border, it was not safe, and there was no output in those mountains, who would spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a mountain, if you want to see the scenery, just go, and no one asks for money.
"How much land are you going to sell?" Xu Qing asked again.
Qin Guan drew a large circle on the map and said: "This piece, a total of four mountains and three valleys, a radius of forty miles, a total of 600,000 mu, if each mu is sold for 100 yuan, it is 60,000 yuan." ”
"Didn't you say that the government owes those officials three months' wages, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect this year's taxes, if these few pieces of land are sold, it will be enough to solve the resettlement costs of the victims, and the rest can be used as this year's financial expenses." Qin Guan Dao.
Xu Qing looked at Qin Guan, who was full of confidence, and suddenly felt a burst of disappointment in his heart, originally he thought that Qin Guan, such a top talent, might have some clever means, but now it seems that he is completely a scholar who does not understand the world.
Maybe reading is a talent, but when I get to the place, I think it is too ideal.
But this is the first move of the prefect after taking office, and it is not a move that costs the people and money, and he is not easy to stop, and let him hit a wall, and he will know that it will be difficult to be an official in the future.
Xu Qing arched his hand and said with a calm face: "If the adults have already made a decision, I can use the seal with the adults to make a decision to sell the land." ”
"But it's better for adults to go to the governor's yamen and the political secretary's yamen, after all, we don't have much food, and if we really run out of food at that time, it will inevitably cause civil unrest, which is the top priority now."
The prefect's yamen acted quickly, and an announcement was posted on the same day.
"There is an announcement from the prefect of Xiongzhou that the land will be sold to the outside world, and the idle land in Xiongzhou City will be 1,123 acres, 18 per acre. Xiulong Mountain is 40 miles in radius, with a total of 600,000 mu, 100 yuan per mu, and those who want to buy it should hurry up. ”
The inscription is the great seal of the prefect's yamen.
As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately caused heated discussions in the entire Xiongzhou City.
"The new official took office three times, but our prefect gave such an order, hehe, the original land in the city was eighteen and one acre, and it has not been sold for more than ten years, what is there to shout about."
"Big money, Xiulong Mountain has a radius of 40 miles and 600,000 mu, and it costs 100 yuan per mu, I am obedient, at least 60,000 yuan, who has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend, so I will buy these barren mountains."
"Maybe it's good if a monk and Taoist priest bought it to make a dojo."
"You pull it down, I saw monks and Taoists collecting money, when did I see them spending money, they all saw a good place, and then directly occupied the temple."
Someone said loudly: "Our prefect lord, that is the champion Lang personally ordered by His Majesty, the word immortal who was personally sealed, and the Wenqu star descended to earth, so this decision naturally has its deep meaning." ”
Someone whispered: "What's the deep meaning, it's just that I'm just stunned to read." ”
In the yamen, the officials of the Experience Department of Selling Fields were all stunned after receiving this notice, and then the officials began to talk about it.
"Our lord is from Hangzhou, so I don't think that our land in Xiongzhou is as valuable as the land in Hangzhou."
"I heard that the mountains and forests outside Hangzhou are 500 yuan per mu, and we sell them cheaply in Xiongzhou."
"Haha, 50 yuan a mu, do you want it?"
"If it's one acre, you can consider it, find a place with better feng shui, and make a grave in the future."
"15 miles away from the city, you are not afraid that your children and grandchildren will not go to worship in a few years."
As soon as Qin Guan's order came out, people talked about it, and everyone was not optimistic, thinking that no one would be so stupid to buy these lands.
