Chapter 173: The Three Fertile Soils (1)

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

"I heard it too," Song Jiudao. Han Chongyun said that the iron production in the country will not reach three or four times, because many pit mines are completely state-owned, but it is estimated that the real output will be tripled. The technology of the steel supervision is still being adjusted, which is inevitable. 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. However, the national iron pit is still in the north. I don't know if it has been implemented in Hunan. Even if it is implemented, it will be next year. I used to transport iron ore from Hebei, but gradually Hebei iron ore will no longer go south. Even the iron ore on Jingdong Road has gradually decreased, mainly from iron ore near Xuzhou.

"Be honestly guarding this science, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life."

Song Jiu didn't say anything.

Han Chongyun said again: "Do you know why it's so difficult for you to raise stocks?"

Song Jiu shook his head. If Han Chongyun said, Wang Quanbin alone would probably get more wealth than he raised. Some yamen really had no money, such as Zhang Lin, that was a minority. Most of the yamen still had a lot of money in their families, so it would be okay to get 10,000 yuan to get 34,450,000 yuan. However, there are a total of 135 people and 93 families participating in the yamen, and the raised money is less than 300,000 yuan, of which more than 300,000 yuan was raised by the people of the Lianghe River. If the Zhao Kuangyi brothers, the Gao family, the Pan family, and the Shi family were removed, the raised less.

"Song Jiu, more than 90% of these yamen's family backgrounds are better than you, but they have too many shares. Although you proactively promised to pay more taxes from the court, it was handed over to the court. It has nothing to do with the individual. You lowered the contract stock again, but the actual money you paid was only more than 10,000 pieces of silk that the emperor and Kaifeng Prefecture gave you. And some rewards, that's it. You also moved some of them to Henan. If you were Yanei, what would you think? Han didn't know how much money Hezhou made in the future, but seeing your strange arrangements, like an amusement park, you will make a lot of money in a year. However, you should not be too greedy..."

"General Han, that's my chance to give Yanei."

"But why do you tempt Zhu Yanei repeatedly? If you give Yanei a chance, Yanei is also giving you a chance. Now that you have not made money, let it go. Otherwise, once you open business, there will be more things and have 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 yuan of money, which can be considered as finding things for them."

"Add to teach." Song Jiu said respectfully.

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

Leave the Han family.

When Han Chongyun returned home and closed the history books together, he could not make it clear. He couldn't even turn the history books over by himself.

Then the yamen gathered together and Song Jiu handed over a letter of deed.

This is a new stock, and Song Jiu reduced his stock in half. By the end, the share money could only be three million yuan, and the dividend was distributed for the first time the following year. He could only make 200,000 yuan, and bear the court tax and commercial tax, as well as city tax.

The tax in the imperial court was the more than 5 million yuan of land rent paid by Song Jiu. Commercial tax was divided into overt and overt tax. Overt tax was paid by two percent of the local sales or total sales. Overt tax was sold to other places, and three percent had to pay on the way. Now the tax system is not standardized, and most of them were going to the same tax. Later, taxes were flooded. If you go far, you could pay more than a dozen taxes. However, this tax could only be charged only for small and medium-sized merchants, big merchants and officials. Therefore, some merchants went to Sichuan for posts in Jiangling Prefecture, and then asked him to take a seat on the boat. He took a free boat and also had to pay a few thousand guan of money. That is, when passing the checkpoint, he reported his name and took a print letter. This was the official's goods, and then he saved the heavy commercial tax.

There are only overt taxes on the river bank, and there will be no overt taxes, but the profit will be very large, and this must be paid.

The city tax was the most chaotic tax system in the Song Dynasty. It was divided into land tax and housing tax. It was not very high, and it was divided into several levels. Later, it was divided into ten levels. The lower-level tax exemption, the more tax paid the higher the tax. The actual implementation was not strict, and it was not strict since the beginning of the Song Dynasty. Song Jiu's original old house used to pay hundreds of cents a year, but now there are no yamen runners to come to the door to withdraw taxes. In fact, this money is targeted at third- and fourth-class households, and a small number of second-class households. The middle class was also tragic in the Song Dynasty!

However, once the Hezhou is built, the price is not expensive. It is estimated that it will pay thousands of guan a year. If it is mature, it can even pay more than 10,000 guan.

There are also a small amount of miscellaneous taxes, which are not much at this time. What are the shop money and stall fees, tooth money, service money, taxes, horse-raising money, etc., and some, some of the distributed labor and buying, can be replaced by money or goods. This must be considered as the operating cost and has nothing to do with Song Jiu.

But Song Jiu made a concession, so all the experimental costs related to Hezhou, including the migration costs that were previously paid, must be distributed to the cost. Moreover, Song Jiu's advance payment is a favor in the future, and not advance payment is the duty.

And a series of terms, including operating rights, management rights, account rights, and related responsibilities. Including future investment, the current dividends of stocks will be mainly distributed, but Song Jiu's dividends can be allocated, and the principal has nothing to do with Song Jiu. Continuing investment is a favor investment, and Song Jiu can still withdraw it at any time if the funds allow. However, in order to appease everyone, try not to withdraw all of this money, but continue to be invested as principal, and there will be no dividends.

But there is one thing: the matter of gold shops is very involved and will not be dealt with for the time being.

There are eighteen clauses in total.

The latter are all secondary, mainly the first few. Fu Zhaoshou looked at Song Jiu suspiciously: "Jiulang, why do you want to surrender your shares again?"

Is there any story behind it?

"Sanlang, Hezhou is of great significance."

Fu Zhaoshou nodded. Sometimes Zhao Kuangyi took his sister to his parents' home occasionally, and his mother complained. Zhao Kuangyi said something that the court did not care about whether it was money or not. The little sandbank was tormented by Song Jiu. Even if he brought a group of coolies to trouble His Majesty, he would not ask about it. What he cared about was those techniques. Even I put a lot of money in to help him, so I could let my brother-in-law spend some money to find a happy one, and I would not lose money.

This sentence cannot be said clearly.

"What I mean is to the country, but to us. Many people doubt how much money it can make, and I will say it here. It will make a lot of money, and it is too much for you to imagine. Although I have a lot of shares, in the future, in order not to let the scholars and officials speak or other nobles who have not invested in the stock market, I will increase taxes to the court in the future. But I cannot add any more, and my income may be much greater than you. Therefore, I will give up half and make a balance. But in fact, this transfer is extremely unfair to me. If you have any other ideas, then I will take the money back as soon as possible and I will recognize the interest."

"Kyuro. We have nothing to say."

This was basically psychologically balanced. Song Jiu would not be happy even if he made it. After all, all this requires Song Jiu's knowledge from nothing.

No matter how rich you have, you can't change it. Is there no land outside the capital? Some are the terrain of Hebei opposite the sandbank is better, and there are also two sides of the Wuzhang River and both sides of the Caishui River. However, the one who dares to promise to operate for fifty years and pay more than five million yuan to the country!

"If you are optimistic, we will go to Kaifeng Mansion to sign the contract. This contract will be a permanent contract."

So a group of yamen continued to look and put forward a few small requests. It was not too much, so Song Jiu added them, and there were 23 items in total. He brought the yamen runners to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Kuangyi took the contract and looked at it, asking, "Did you confirm?"

"The second king. What's wrong with it?"

"The court did not point out that we would like to pay commercial taxes, city taxes and labor, and buy."

It turned out that the court meant that Song Jiu paid the tax and money to include them together. Now Song Jiu took the initiative to recognize that there is one. If he can pay it, it would be a loss.

"Two Kings, I have told Your Majesty that our government is more tax-heavy than the people. It is precisely because the taxes are widespread and not all are entrusted to the poor. But even so, the rich still take a big advantage, so the rich get richer, the poorer the poorer, and the annexation is serious. If the country is stable, Hezhou is a model."

Song Jiu didn't dare to say much, but his meaning was very clear, that is, the richer he had to pay taxes, so that the country could last for a long time.

"If so, your burden will be heavier."

"The second king, don't worry, maybe your Majesty will regret it the next year."

"If you want your elder brother to regret it, you will be afraid that you will regret it. When the truth is revealed, the elder brother will be famous in history. If Your Majesty can regret it, it will not be a stigma, and maybe it is a good thing. But I ask you, why do you cut your own shares?"

"Only contentment can you be happy." Song Jiu replied calmly.

Zhao Kuangyi was silent and said after a while: "Do it well, a gentleman is innocent, and a treasure is guilty of possessing a treasure."

This sentence is very subtle.

It may be about means, status, or something else. But Zhao Kuangyi said again: "But it is not easy for you to think of contentment."

As he said that, he asked the yamen to come in and sign and seal it.

At least from the law, this is a very effective contract.

A large group of people rushed to the shop for wine again.

The refugees arrived a few days later.

Song Jiu did not say Han Chongyun, and Han Chongyun did not say Song Jiu. After listening to his opinion, Zhao Pu and others thought it was OK. It seemed that Han Chongyun, the foreman, was very competent.

But there are many things, and there are labor and good deeds, but most victims have nothing to do. First, they have to build a disaster shed for them and start to eat. However, 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 or thick clothes, and the charcoal fire in the shed is likely to cause fires. When the refugees come, unlike the refugees between the two rivers, Song Jiu can't see any reference value, but even this refugee, seeing the actual situation, Song Jiu is also distressed.

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

The refugees of the Song Dynasty were divided into narrow and broad. For example, the former tenants who lived in the Song Jiu family did not register their hometowns in the local government for various reasons, and they were black household registrations, also called refugees. Not only were there in capital cities, but also in various cities and pit mining workshops, and there were still a large number. Moreover, with the development of business in the Song Dynasty, the number of migrant population increased, and they also wanted to avoid taxation, resulting in more people of this type.

In addition, temporary refugees caused by military disasters and natural disasters. The former basically have a stable life, which means living a better life and suffering, while the latter is mostly hard-working. In the past, a group of people joined the wing army and had less salary, but some money, grain, rice, silk, salt, and family gathered together to eat, drink, wear and live. Or find another way to survive, this problem will be solved by the owners. Or the nature of relief, the government will fund some clothes and silk, and the temples and wealthy families in various places will also give alms to some old clothes. People will freeze to death, but no one will be responsible.

Now that it is included in the entire construction system, only Han and Song will bear the problems.

Song Jiu thought for a long time and said, "General Han, use mahjong instead of silk. Anyway, many families have old women, and they cannot do heavy work. Why not organize them to cook, wash vegetables, or make clothes, and first pass the difficulties in late autumn. I will make some adjustments to the treatment, and the court can make adjustments."

"How to change the workaround?"

"We used migrant workers in Beijing. Now that the victims have arrived, they have squeezed some of their income and feel a little unfair. Therefore, they have reduced their salary, but they are not actually cut. Use the reduced money to buy old clothes as the first priority, and use old clothes and quilts to save costs. At the same time, I will take out two thousand pieces of silk as a donation to fill it with it."

"This method is good. I will donate a thousand pieces of silk as a donation. What should I do if I keep warm in winter?"

"It's not difficult, but the difficulty is that you may not be able to buy enough thick clothes, quilt, felt, and velvet." In fact, it's still money. Song Jiu has money, but he can't use it. That's the yamen's share contract money. He put his own money into the room and then took out two thousand pieces of silk, which was less than six thousand pieces of silk. Han Chongyun's money was more money, but this was the court's money. The court finally hired less workers, and most of them were wing soldiers and civil servants. He saved costs and did not dare to over-appropriately.

In this era, if you launch a disaster relief party, it would not be great. Is it a job for ordinary people to win over the hearts of the people?

When Song Jiu walked to Henan, the two projects were basically over. The workshop had not built any houses. It just built a courtyard wall, fenced about 100 acres of land, then leveled it, and laying the sewer. Either the farm had only about 20 acres of land, not much, because the land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was considered a first-class household. If the third-class land had to reach more than 400 acres, it was first-class household. If those saline-alkali land or other inferior land had to reach more than 1,000 acres of land, it was first-class household. Song Jiu's twenty acres of land were considered second-class land. If it was divided from this, it was only fourth-class households. But that was impossible. Song Jiu had been first-class households, but Song Jiu was surprised that no one came to collect taxes for all first-class households.

At least Lu Duan is not afraid of himself.

Boss Hu was taking a group of civilians to do the final task. The land did not need to be built in a wall, but when it was bought, it had to be flat and tilled and exposed to the sun. As for what Song Jiu would do in the future, Boss Hu didn't ask.
