Chapter 604: Moving the Grave

Song Nan smiled and said: "It is understandable for businessmen to pursue profits, if I am the same as them, I am just doing business for profit, of course, I can think about the silver; But is the reason why I developed the white paper mill property just for the silver? ”

Dai Su'er said softly: "The husband said that the purpose of this matter is to benefit the imperial court. ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "Yes, individuals can benefit, but if the court can't benefit, won't it become a loss to the public and private?" That won't last long. Of course, I don't claim to be a sage, but if the country is weak, what can the family think? The Ming Dynasty is strong, and the silver we have on hand is silver. At that time, the Song Dynasty was not rich, there were countless rich businessmen and giants, and the officials in the DPRK and China were also fat, but the country was extremely weak. Isn't it even possible to save your life? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Song Nan said with a smile: "This truth is actually very simple, everyone understands it, but it is really difficult to do, which is why some people do not care about it for personal gain; The behavior of these merchants is understandable, they don't need to think about it so much, but we people have to think about it; Without him, I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and I must put the interests of the court first. ”

Zhu Fengtong nodded and said, "I understand, but if businessmen hoard real estate and speculate on high prices, is it harmful to the imperial court?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Of course it is harmful, the higher the housing prices in the capital, a few people will benefit, but most people will suffer." For example, in the future, Ah Hu wants to start a family and start a business, marry a daughter-in-law and buy a house, if in the past, a few hundred taels can buy a decent house, but in the future, I am afraid that it will not be a few thousand taels. ”

The little county lord smiled: "Ah Hu has nothing to worry about, in the future, we will cover the expenses for him, and we will also look for his daughter-in-law." ”

Tong Ahu squirmed: "What are you talking about? ”

All the women covered their mouths and laughed when they saw his embarrassing appearance, and Song Nan also smiled: "Ah Hu naturally doesn't have to worry, can I still treat him badly?" I'm taking him as an example, many descendants like Ah Hu in the capital have to buy a house and get married, and they can't afford it. After the promulgation of the imperial court's policy, the price of real estate will rise, but if it rises to a height that no one can reach, it will be a big problem, and it will cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. Although the real estate tax is beneficial to the imperial court in the short term, it will be a disaster to sell cabbage for the sake of this tax and sell it at the price of Ganoderma lucidum. ”

Zhu Fengtong tightened his eyebrows and said: "This is indeed the reason, but we are the initiators of this matter, if it really comes to that day, we will not be scolded to death by the people." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "If you want to scold, you will also scold me, what does it have to do with you; Besides, will I let this day come? ”

Zhu Fengtong said: "Do you have a way to solve it?" Or is it only allowed to buy one set of shops and buildings for each household developed later? Limit their hoarding? ”

Song Nan smiled: "What's the use of that, it's just a symptom but not a root cause; The most direct and effective way to restrict these behaviors is to issue regulations to limit prices. I will let Zhang Yong do these things in the name of the real estate department, although it is a little rude, but I can only do this. For example, I shop in a white paper mill, and the price limit is 10,000 or 12,000 taels of silver, so that after reselling it first-hand, it will be speculated again, and then it can only be honestly used for business. In the future, when the people are rich, the price can rise a little more, in short, the house price cannot be allowed to rise wildly without a ceiling, and every qiē needs to be controlled by the imperial court. ”

"Good way, it scared us, otherwise our Song family would have become sinners. The husband must have thought about it a long time ago. Dai Suer smiled.

"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't have become a sinner who messed up the Ming Dynasty; But this thing can only be done after at least a year, otherwise it will affect the enthusiasm of buying, after all, there are still very few people who know how to hoard, since they have this vision, and can help quickly open up the situation, why not let them make a fortune; If they are not greedy, they can still make a profit, but if they are not greedy enough and wait for the price to skyrocket, they will have to reap the consequences. ”

Zhu Fengtong smiled: "I see, I think many people are willing to hold the house in their hands in advance, so it is necessary for me to talk to those owners who have not bought shops and houses about the advance payment." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Of course, this matter will not be too difficult; I will give you two suggestions, one is that the advance payment must not be less than half, so that they understand that there are a large number of people waiting in line, and whoever has the advance payment will be able to sign the agreement. The second is the adjustment of prices, shops will rise by 1,000 taels, and houses will rise by 500 taels, since they are destined to rise, we can't watch others eat meat without taking a bite, what are we tired of? ”

Everyone smacked their lips and was silent, the price of eight thousand taels of shops and four thousand taels of houses was already sky-high, compared with the current situation of the average annual income of less than fifty taels in the Ming Dynasty, the profit was already full, and Song Nan actually wanted to increase the price, it was really ruthless.

Song Nan knew very well in his heart that the purpose of developing these shops and mansions was to face the rich people of the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people would never be able to afford them; Taking out the money in the pockets of the rich is the goal, and the resulting real estate transaction tax and the tax generated by the future shops can also allow the imperial court to improve the people's livelihood, which can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor in disguise. As for the various negative effects brought about by the real estate economy, Song Nan has no time to think about it at the moment, after all, this is not the future generations, and the methods of the future generations may not work, so they can only take one step at a time.

Since the middle of February, the matter of moving the grave in the wasteland of the white paper workshop has been fully rolled out, and the people who learned the news are really excited, and they do not come to worship the ancestral tomb on weekdays, and the grass is overgrown, once someone wants to hit the idea of their ancestral grave, it is like the excitement of mourning, they spontaneously organized to protect the grave, and did not allow the people of the Song Mansion to forcibly move the grave.

The Song government did not want to arouse the anger of the people, so they adopted methods of appeasement and persuasion, but with little effect; Later, Song Nan had an idea, and asked Tong Ahu to invite more than a dozen famous feng shui Taoist priests in Beijing to come forward and open the altar in several deserted graves in the white paper workshop.

The people guarding the ancestral tomb were stunned, and soon the white eyes of the Taoist priests rolled down, and the white cloth hanging on the branches was sprayed with water by the Taoist priests. The Taoist priests explained that this is the soul of the dead buried here brought the words, and the cemetery here must be moved, because the dead buried here are not at peace under the nine springs, because it is located in the capital, shrouded by the power of the Son of Heaven, the yang energy is too much, and the soul is uneasy, and said that because of this, it is impossible to bless the development of the descendants, because it is difficult to be at peace, how to bless the descendants?

The people looked around at themselves, and indeed they were all poor jingles, and none of their descendants could be developed. The Taoist priests took a turn around the cemetery chosen by the Song Mansion outside the city, and agreed that it was a treasure land of feng shui, prosperous sons and grandchildren; The people will be skeptical, but a few people do not want to waste time guarding the grave here, so they agreed to the conditions of the Song Mansion to start moving the grave, the Song family provided them with manpower and a new burial bone clay pot, and invited the drummer to set off firecrackers to send the bones of several ancestral tombs to the tomb outside the city for burial.

A few days later, an astonishing news came among the people who guarded the grave, the first to move out of the tomb of Zhao Fusheng's family in Xuannanfang, the eldest son of the Zhao family was the Jinyi Wei Yamen Xiang into the Jinyi Wei as a horseman, three or two months a month, eating and drinking all-inclusive, it is said that the boss appreciated him very much. Then several other families who had moved their graves also broke out happy events, the Li family's shop business flourished all of a sudden, the lame leg of the youngest son of the Wang family was suddenly cured by a You Fang Langzhong, and the youngest son of the Liu family was favored by the official school, and entered the official school for free to study, in short, it was all exciting and good things.

Now the people believed the words of the Taoist priests a few days ago, and it was really a treasure of feng shui, and the results were immediate, so the vigorous grave relocation action began, the Song Mansion treated each other with etiquette, invited monks and Taoists to practice the field, firecrackers, gongs and drums accompanied the scenery out of the city to be buried, within a few days, thousands of deserted graves were almost moved, and finally only dozens of graves were left The family did not want to move away.

These people actually set up tents by the grave, eating, drinking, and Lazar were there, with a posture of not giving in, and threatened that if the Song Mansion dared to move strongly, they would sue the Yamen that the Song Mansion was bullying people and digging up people's ancestral graves.

Fortunately, these graves are relatively concentrated, and the plan to build temporary sheds to resettle the people on the flat land of the Song Dynasty is still acceptable, and the construction period has not been delayed, but if these dozens of graves are not moved, it will greatly affect the next progress.
