The land prices in Qinzhou are priced at a time, but many housekeepers from Central Plains are waving treasure money, but they still can’t buy land. The port city has not yet been built, and there are now a bunch of temporary wooden houses on the planned commercial street.

But even these simple wooden houses have very expensive rents.

In a residence, there are crowds of people in the lobby on the first floor.

Didian is a relatively novel store today. This kind of store was originally just a warehouse in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but now it has become a place to pile up goods and inhabit customers, and also serve as an intermediary for customers to sell goods.

This residence is run by the Li family, and it is surrounded by a large area. The first floor of the house is the trading hall, the second floor is the dining place, and the third floor is the accommodation.

In the back row, there are warehouses.

The Li family’s residence has fair prices, good conditions, and many security guards. The goods are safe here, especially the dishes cooked by the Li family’s chefs, and the agents in the Li family’s store are all very powerful.

Many of the customers who came from Zhongyuan stayed in Lijiadi store.

"I said Wang Yazi, I have been waiting here for several days, why didn't I take down a piece of land for me? What are you doing?"

A fat man in silk kept slapping his folding fan in his hand, but the sweat on his face continued to flow down. He sat at the table with bayberry wine in front of him, but he had no idea of ​​drinking. He came to Lingnan not to drink bayberry wine.

The man known as Wang Ya is a middle-aged man with dark skin. He wore a blue robe with a mark on the residence and said to the customer apologetically, "Official Liu, I'm really sorry. There are too many people coming to buy land recently, but the land in the government has almost sold it, and now it's limited to purchase."

"What, purchase restrictions? Am I traveling all the way to buy land, but I can't buy land even if I have money?"

Wang Yazi comforted him and said, "That's not the case, but it's really not easy to buy now. The government stipulates that only those who have purchased houses and shops in Qinzhou are eligible to buy land."

"I want to buy a house and shop first?" Fatty Liu was dissatisfied when he heard this. He wanted to buy a house and a land in Qinzhou Port City, but the property there is not easy to buy now. Not only is the price high, but it can't be bought. He can only buy second-hand ones from others, but the price is very expensive.

"There is no other way to get the land?"

Wang Yazi said repeatedly, "There are still solutions, but they are more troublesome. Now the land in the government has begun to be limited to purchase, so if we want to buy land, we can only buy it from those private hands. One is to buy it from local Han people, and the other is to buy it from Liya. However, these Han people who moved here early are smarter and hold the land and refuse to sell it. However, those Liya are willing to sell it, but their land is not registered by the government. If they don't have a land deed, they can't sell it."

Fatty Liu frowned.

"unless."

Fatty Liu glared, "Unless it is something, Wang Yazi, don't keep it in your mouth. Help me get the land, I have a lot of money for you, and if I buy too much, I will still have a reward."

Wang Yazi smiled immediately.

"I'll take Liu Daguanren to meet a few Liyao later. As long as we are willing to bid and persuade them to go to the government to register and get the contract first, we can trade."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find someone."

The land in Lingnan has indeed continued to rise recently, but no matter how much it rises, it is much cheaper than the land in Jianghan. Especially the land near Hanjing, which has increased by many times in the past three years, but it still has a price but no market.

It is said that Lingnan is a good opportunity, and no one wants to take the lead.

Wang Yazi and Fatty Liu directly found a lie man. This man was a large clan from a nearby Xidong, with a lot of land under his name. Qinzhou built a port, and this man brought his tribe to help build a port and do business along the way, which was considered a big profit. Now he has also rented a prefabricated house in the city to buy and sell goods.

Wang Yazi came over and asked to buy land.

The slang just smiled.

Now that the land price has soared, this person is willing to sell some land. Sell some land and take the opportunity to make a fortune, and then buy a house and shop in Qinzhou Port. His life will be good in the future.

However, he was still a little hesitant that the Qinzhou government recently issued a new regulation.

There must be a contract for selling land, and the government is willing to measure land for free to the original landlords and register and issue land deeds. However, there is another important condition for issuing the land deed, and that must be registered first. Not only will the land be registered, but people must also be naturalized.

If this slang man wanted to buy land, he had to voluntarily register as a naturalized person and become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and then he could obtain the land deed and be qualified to sell the land.

The lie people were used to being free in the past, and even when the Ning family was there, they were unwilling to be naturalized many times.

As a professional intermediary, Wang Yazi is very good at speaking. He is proficient in slang. After a long time, the slang finally was willing to sell the land, but the price was increased.

After listening to the translation, Fatty Liu thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, "Buy!"

After verbally reaching an agreement, Fatty Liu didn't want to have too many dreams at night, so he immediately pulled the lie people to the yamen.

In order to take care of the recent large number of real estate transactions and the convenience of taxing port merchants, the Qinzhou Yamen has specially set up a temporary dispatch agency on the unbuilt new city to be responsible for these matters.

There was a long queue at this temporary yamen in the distance.

"Wenyuan has good methods. Now that the land prices are rising, many slang people want to sell land, they have to go to naturalize and get a contract first. Just this trick has allowed a large number of slang people to come to naturalize."

For the government, population growth under the rule is one of the political achievements and the main political achievements. In those border areas, where there are barbarians, if they can recruit barbarians and get them naturalized, it will be a great achievement.

Li Chao used a little trick to attract many lie and gangs to be naturalized, which is of course amazing enough. Moreover, after these barbarians registered for naturalization, they had to trade and sell land, and the government immediately earned a deed tax.

Is the deed tax a little too heavy? The tax estimates in the Eastern Jin Dynasty stipulated that for selling houses, land, cattle, horses and slaves, the money was 10,000 yuan, the seller was 300 yuan, and the buyer was 100 yuan, which was only 4% of the total. Now, the deed tax was 10,000 yuan, and the buyer was 100 yuan, which was a bit heavy."

From an estimated tax of 4% to a deed tax of 10%, it was indeed relatively high. However, it was not unacceptable if the buyer bears it. Later, the deed tax of 24% in the Song Dynasty was generally 3%, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty it was as high as 9%.

Although excessively high deed taxes can guarantee the taxes of the court, they will also have some impact on transactions. However, the tax rate was set by the court, and Li Chao had no choice.

In addition to promulgating the deed tax of 10 taxes, the court also formulated a statute tax, stipulating that the pawn houses and land must be paid, with 6% of the statute tax.

This tax was simply directed at the Li family.

After all, the Li family now owns the largest pawning industry in the Tang Dynasty, and the pawning tax increased by 6% for no reason, which has a great impact on the Li family's interests. If the business tax and two taxes are added, the Li family will pay a lot of income in a year.

"We are all good people who pay taxes!" Li Chao said with a smile.

"We should give preferential treatment to those who are willing to become naturalized. Those who are naturalized will distribute some cloth and flour, and we should promote the court's benevolence to them."

Without any last resort, Li Chao was unwilling to use force directly.

Anyway, as long as these liu don’t cause trouble and rebel, these liu will be quickly merged into a consolidation under the current vigorous immigration wave.

Above the Yangtze River.

The turbulent mountains and the wind is gentle.

Chengqian stood at the bow of the boat, spreading his arms, feeling the free wind.

Since leaving Beijing, Chengqian felt that he was like a bird leaving a cage, and he felt much more comfortable. He was not seasick. He used to be in Xiangyang, he often sailed on the Han River with his teacher on a sailboat.

The Yangtze River is larger than the Han River, and there are more ships on the river.

"Your Highness, Jiangzhou Port is ahead, and local officials are already waiting for the welcome!" Li Junxian came over to report.

Cheng Qian waved his hand, "Send someone to pass the message, and I will not stay in Jiujiang. Let them not wait, go back."

"Your Highness, the officials in Jiangzhou are dedicated to paying homage to the Crown Prince. Isn't it okay if I don't see you?"

Cheng Qian frowned and felt a little impatient. After leaving Beijing, he just wanted to run all the way to Lingnan. But when he left Beijing, he led a huge team of more than 10,000 people. He traveled slowly every day, and he had to accept visits from local officials every time he arrived at a place.

"If you don't see this Jiangzhou official, do you have to take a detour to Hongzhou? In this way, the Lone Monkey can only reach Lingnan in the year and month of the year? Send someone to notify Jiangzhou, and there is no need to wait. By the way, send someone to the front station. Except for the necessary supply areas, there is no other place to stay."

"Yes." Li Junxian stopped talking and bowed and retreated.

Pingyang came out of the cabin of the stern building and walked to Chengqian.

"You should meet them. They are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Getting close to them will be good for you." Pingyang said to his nephew.

Cheng Qian shook his head.

"I just want to arrive in Lingnan early now and see the world of Lingnan. I don't have much time to sing with these local officials." Cheng Qian didn't think that his position as a prince would be shaken. He had the support of his teacher Li Chao, his uncle Changsun Wuji and others, who could shake him?

"Auntie, do you think the powerful and Li Liao of Lingnan really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chengqian thought the current situation in Lingnan was a bit incredible, just like many court officials. Such a powerful local force was actually cleaned up by Li Chao in a few seconds. How could this be possible?

Especially what Li Chao is doing in Lingnan now, it shakes the fundamental interests of these people.

Pingyang smiles.

"The peace of Lingnan is now just the tranquility before the storm comes. The more quiet it is, the more violent the storm comes!"

"Then can we withstand this storm?"

"Of course, you should believe in your teacher. In fact, storms are not bad things. You can only see the rainbow after the storm, and you will not be able to stand without destruction."
