The emperor officials of the Ming Dynasty, how could they know that in a certain period of national development in later generations, the real estate industry has become one of the core economic pillars, and how can they know that the Song Nan in front of him was like a fish in water in that year.

Song Nan also knew that it might not be appropriate for him to take the methods of the future generations as they were, and there might be many unexpected side effects, but Song Nan was sure that if he could set off a small boom in a short period of time, so that the rich could use the gold and silver hoarded at home for consumption real estate and shops, it would quickly make up for the lack of finance and taxation in the Ming Dynasty, which was almost certain.

Of course, Song Nan does not deny that he will profit from it, but what does it matter? I was the first person to eat crabs, didn't I also bear the risk of losing my money? Moreover, in the end, it is the imperial court that benefits, and the relaxation of policies and the increase in circulation will inevitably bring about an increase in finance and taxation and a prosperous business, which is the result that the Ming Dynasty needs most.

There is no reason for civil and military officials to object, just a white paper workshop in the capital, can contribute hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes in a short period of time, then in addition to the capital such as Nanjing, Chengdu and other large states and mansions in the Ming Dynasty will also cause a boom in land purchases, there are still a lot of people who want to enter the big city to do business and live, and the resulting financial and tax figures will become an astronomical number, and we have no way to estimate it.

In silence, Zhengde slowly spoke: "Yang Tinghe, what do you think of Song Nan's method?" I think it's a good idea. ”

Yang Tinghe said cautiously: "It does sound good, if it is like what Lord Song said, the income of finance and taxation may increase greatly, which is extremely important to the imperial court." But the minister always felt a little uneasy, because the minister could not predict the other consequences that would be brought about. ”

Song Nan said: "Yang Shoufu doesn't have to worry, in fact, there is no need to worry at all, the imperial court can set up a special management and monitoring department, for example, you can set up a real estate management department in the household department to control its direction, and manage the construction and sale of land in various places; Under the Department of Taxation of the Ministry of Households, real estate taxation can be set up to manage real estate transaction taxation, etc.; The imperial court was entirely free to suspend this policy if the need arose, depending on the development of the situation. ”

Yang Tinghe's heart was moved, no matter what, Song Nan proposed a solution, but Yiqiē was still under the control of the outer court, and as the first assistant of the cabinet, if he could not make achievements in the imperial court's taxation, he would not be qualified. Even if this method is proposed by Song Nan, he can completely prohibit the implementation of its side effects in the future, and it is almost certain that this method of increasing fiscal and tax revenues almost extremely quickly will have side effects.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is a little worried, but Lord Song's method will indeed rapidly increase the financial and tax revenue of the imperial court, which is exactly the result that the imperial court needs at present, as for the future, Lord Song does not know, and the minister does not know, but the minister thinks it is worth a try. But the minister said first, if this law produces drawbacks in the future, the outer court will be terminated in time, and if the situation is out of control, Lord Song will apologize to the court. ”

How Song Nan didn't know that this was Yang Tinghe's psychology, he wanted to use his own methods, but he didn't want to bear the consequences in the future, which was called making a bitch at both ends of the rat's head to set up an archway; But one thing is worth affirming, Yang Tinghe still thinks about the imperial court, as long as this method is useful for increasing finance and taxes, he will not oppose it for the sake of opposing himself, but decided to give it a try.

"Song Nan, do you understand Yang Tinghe's words?" Zhengde asked.

"The minister understands that the minister is willing to bear the consequences, as long as it is beneficial to the court, the minister is willing to do anything, the minister will not be like some people who want to get benefits but are afraid to take risks, and the minister is responsible for the proposal he proposes."

Yang Tinghe lowered his eyes when he didn't hear Song Nan's sarcasm.

"However, since I am responsible for the future results, the minister has a small request."

"What a request." Zhengde asked.

"The minister hopes to have the right to inquire into this matter, so that the minister can always grasp the information and make corrections, so as not to go astray and be difficult to control."

Yang Tinghe frowned and said, "The outer court will monitor and control it according to your plan, what are you worried about." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "You Yang Shoufu can't predict what kind of side effects will happen, how can the household officials be smarter than you?" If you believe in them, why are you reluctant to bear the consequences that may arise in the future? Since I am responsible, then I must be fully responsible for this, and it is not difficult to understand this reason. ”

Yang Tinghe said coldly: "Lord Song is in charge of the Jinyi Guard Yamen and the Shenshu Camp, but he wants to intervene in such government affairs, but he doesn't want to think about it. ”

Song Nan smiled: "Do you think I am willing to intervene?" I don't want to put my net worth in the hands of others, if the official in charge of this matter is incompetent in the future, and the consequences that can be avoided cannot be avoided, but I am asked to take responsibility for the result and accept this punishment, do you think I am stupid? ”

Yang Tinghe said angrily: "In this case, if this matter is stopped, my outer court will never agree to do this, it is simply unreasonable." ”

Song Nan sneered, and said to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the minister has done his duty as a courtier, obviously everyone knows that this policy will solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, but it cannot be implemented. ”

Zhengde hesitated, and at this time Zhang Yong suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has an idea. ”

Zhengde said: "What do you think? ”

"Everyone thinks this is a good way, and it can be seen that this law can solve the current worries of the imperial court, and the point of dispute is who will supervise this matter; Lord Song wants to supervise this matter is not in accordance with the rules, and Lord Song does not agree to supervise this matter in the outer court, so why doesn't the emperor personally govern this matter? The inner court set up a yamen, and Lord Song and Lord Yang each sent commissioners to join in to jointly manage this matter, and the emperor was in charge of this matter, and all parties should have no dispute. ”

Zhengde patted the case and said: "Okay, I'll take care of it, Song Nan, Yang Tinghe, so you should have no opinions." Can't you believe me? ”

Song Nan secretly picked his big finger, Zhang Yong could be regarded as a change, and when he saw that this matter had entered a stalemate, he came out to help him; And Zhang Yong's move cleverly grabbed the jurisdiction of this matter into the hands of the inner court, Zhang Yong is his own person, what else is Song Nan worried about, isn't Zhang Yong in charge of himself?

"The minister has no objection, but he has to work hard for the emperor." Song Nan said with a smile.

Yang Tinghe didn't know Zhang Yong's intentions, and said with a gloomy face: "The minister naturally believes in the emperor, but this matter should be under the jurisdiction of the household department, how can the emperor personally govern it, doesn't this mean that we are incompetent as courtiers?" ”

Zhengde sank his face and said: "This is not good, that is not good, do you want to really think about the court?" If something big happens, and the treasury is empty, what can be done to deal with the change? You have taught me this truth all day long, but now you yourself are turning a blind eye, who will bear this responsibility in the future? I really don't understand what you're thinking. ”

Zhang Lun took the opportunity to speak up and said: "Yang Shoufu, this is yours, are you ignoring the affairs of the court for such a dispute over who will govern this matter?" The emperor is willing to govern in person, but you are still so tough, which is incomprehensible. ”

Yang Tinghe was extremely depressed in his heart, he knew that it was unwise to argue further, and the emperor was obviously biased towards Song Nan; Yang Tinghe looked at the group of people around him, not only sighed secretly: none of these people can help, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, they all died down and didn't dare to talk more; The strength of the outer court has not yet reached the point where it can influence the government, so it is better to be patient.

"Obey the order." Yang Tinghe slowly retreated.

The real estate department of the inner court was quickly established, Zhang Yong served as the director of the real estate department, in charge of the construction of real estate transactions in the Ming Dynasty. Those who purchase a house or shop for more than three years can be naturalized locally. Private purchases of land, houses and shops are also allowed for sale.

Once this decree was promulgated, it immediately caused a sensation in the world, and it was the first time that the Ming Dynasty relaxed the restrictions on household registration and land sales, which was of epoch-making significance.

Soon after, the Real Estate Department issued detailed rules to make more than ten provisions on the forced labor tax borne by merchants before and after naturalization, and also made many restrictions on the behavior of allowing private individuals to purchase land for development, such as the principle that whoever buys the land will build it, prohibiting the sale and purchase of land for profit, and the construction must start within two years after the purchase of the land, otherwise the imperial court will take it back without compensation, so as to avoid the act of enclosing land and not building it in disguise. Real estate developers must be sold at a price approved by the real estate department to avoid driving up the housing market, monopolizing the market, etc., and general regulations have been made in every detail.

There is no doubt that these are Song Nan's handwriting, with Zhang Yong's ability, how can he think of these things, after these regulations were announced, even the officials of the foreign court had to admit that the Real Estate Department was competent, and many things they couldn't think of at all, the provisions of the Real Estate Department have made precautions and regulations.

As far as the Outer Court is concerned, they have not completely lost their jurisdiction over this matter, except for the Ministry of Households sending personnel to participate in the management of the Real Estate Division, every tax on real estate is still under the control of the Department of Household Taxation; Under the Taxation Department, a special department was set up to collect this tax, called the Real Estate Taxation Section, which was not only for exclusive management, but also to independently verify how much benefit this move could bring to the Ming court's financial revenue.
