Chapter 30: Land
Eight-year-old Zhou Zheng didn't understand the meaning of Song Zhen's words, and it wasn't until many years later that he understood what Song Zhen meant by seeds...
"Are there any problems with the others?"
The children were silent, and Song Zhen took the paper and said: "Since there is no problem, then now I will start to roll call, whoever I call, whoever I call will come to the front, do you understand?" ”
The children's voices rang out: "Understood..."
"It's all loud, I can't hear clearly!"
"Got it!"
Looking at the children who were encouraged, Song Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'll start naming names!" Whoever I call by name, they shout and come to the front, understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Okay, Zhou Zheng!"
"To..."
"Come, come over here..."
Zhou Zheng took a few steps forward, and saw a woman in her thirties waving to him: "Zhou Zheng, come here..."
Zhou Zheng hurriedly ran over, and Sun Sanniang handed him a clean set of clothes, shoes, plus toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and other daily necessities, Zhou Zheng was a little dazed with these things.
"After you get your things, you stand there first, and then take you to take a shower and eat..."
After counting the names of the twenty children and distributing the things, Song Zhen looked at the two groups of children who were clearly distinguished, and the men and women stood on both sides.
Song Zhen nodded to Zhao Pan'er, he took Zhou Zheng's hand and walked forward, but Zhou Zheng was thinking about his sister, and before he could make any moves, Song Zhen patted his head gently: "Don't be afraid, someone is taking care of you over there..."
Zhou Zheng looked, and sure enough, he saw that the good-looking sister Pan'er was holding her sister's hand, and she didn't know what she said, which made her laugh.
Zhou Zheng relieved his heart at this time.
Song Fu and Zhao Paner took them to take a bath respectively, and taught them how to use toothbrushes, shampoo, shower gel, etc., and tossed for a while, and finally got these children clean.
When Zhou Zheng came out again, he was wearing a dress of delicate fabrics that he had never seen before, and stood in the courtyard stiffly.
On the other side, Zhao Paner also brought the girls over, and Song Zhen and her arranged a room for the children to stay, five people lived in a house, all crammed into one bed, fortunately, the bed was specially made by Song Fu, and a group of stunted children slept on it more than enough.
After arranging the accommodation, Song Zhen and Zhao Paner took them to dinner again.
When Zhou Zheng looked at the white porridge with shredded meat in the bowl, he only felt that his eyes were sour, no one had ever been so kind to him and his sister.
Song Zhen looked at the lean porridge in the children's bowls and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten much before, use porridge to make up for it first, and when you are almost recovered, there will be more delicious food waiting for you." ”
Zhou Zheng only felt that his eyes were blurry, tears poured out of his eyes, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, knelt on the ground again, and solemnly kowtowed to Song Fu, Song Fu's scalp was numb, why did he come again!
Seeing that the other children were about to kneel, Song Zhen hurriedly helped Zhou Zheng up: "Stand up, don't kneel!" I don't want to kneel here, give me a straight waist, no one can be worthy of you to kneel, and I can't! ”
The children were stunned for a moment, and then sat down obediently in their chairs.
Song Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, eat well, go back and rest first after eating, do you understand?" ”
"Got it!"
After settling down the group of children, Song Zhen took Zhao Paner's hand and walked by the river and began to walk.
Zhao Paner took Song Zhen's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder, and asked casually: "Are you buying these children to prepare for the future?" ”
Song Zhen nodded: "Whether I recognize them or not, I have to be fully prepared, they are the seeds I gave to this world for me!" ”
Zhao Paner was slightly stunned: "Seeds? ”
Song Zhen smiled and scratched her nose: "Yes, the seed of knowledge, I will do my best to give them everything I can give them, as for what will happen in the future, no one can say..."
Zhao Pan'er sighed: "You men, you always think about these big things, by the way, is the thing you used yesterday a weapon a thousand years later?" Can you still kill people in the air? ”
Song Zhen was slightly stunned, and an idea immediately popped up in his mind, he paused and said to Zhao Pan'er: "Pan'er, is there any restriction on land sales here?" ”
Zhao Pan'er shook her head: "No, the law of the Great Song Dynasty does not restrict the purchase and sale of land, how you want to buy it, you can buy it as you want, both parties can set their own prices, what, do you want to buy land?" ”
Song Zhen nodded: "Yes, I want to buy all the land around the tea house, I don't know what the price of the land is here?" ”
Zhao Paner thought for a while: "The specific situation is not very clear, but it is estimated that one mu will not exceed five hundred Wen..."
Song Zhen was stunned: "Is it so cheap?" Less than 500? Are there any restrictions on the use of land? ”
Zhao Pan'er shook his head: "There are no regulations in the law of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are no strict restrictions on the circulation of land, in other words, if you want to buy land, if the other party sells it, no matter how much you buy and sell, what you use it for, the government will not care..."
"Of course, you can buy land, but you can't buy too much, if you buy too much, the government will take care of it..."
Song Zhen asked: "What is the management method?" ”
Zhao Paner continued to explain: "If you exceed the limit set by the government, they will use all kinds of indirect means, such as raising taxes or other means, to make you spit out the extra land. ”
Song Zhen frowned: "How does this feel a bit like a modern anti-monopoly law?" ”
Zhao Paner said at this time: "Of course, these are all restrictions on officials, as for the common people, the government doesn't care..."
Song Zhen was a little confused: "What do you mean?" It doesn't matter how much land the people buy, but there are restrictions on the officials buying land? What is the rationale for this? ”
Zhao Pan'er nodded: "It's good for the people to pay taxes, no matter how much land the people buy, it is all private land, and they have to pay taxes, as for the officials, they have much more means to avoid taxes than the common people, and of course the government will restrict them from owning too much land." ”
As soon as Zhao Paner said this, Song Zhen understood that the Song Dynasty did not restrict land annexation, you can buy land or sell land, but ordinary people have to pay taxes when buying and selling land, of course, if it is a white deed, you don't have to pay taxes to the government.
If you have a red deed, you have to pay taxes.
The so-called white deed means that the common people do not draw up a contract for the sale of land through the government, and the red deed is a contract through the means of the government.
Both were protected by the laws of the Song Dynasty...
