Chapter 175: The government sells land
Qin Guan is not afraid of spending money, he is thinking about how to spend money.
It is absolutely impossible to just take out the money, it will only make everyone think you are an alien.
After careful study, he finally thought of a way to break the deadlock.
The next day, after Xu Tong came, he was stunned after hearing Qin Guan's method, and said in surprise: "Selling land to raise funds?"
“Yes, sell land to raise funds.”
Qin Guan pointed to several hanging maps, pointed to one of them and said, "This is a map in Xiongzhou City. I have found that except for the land in the city, the rest of the land has been sold, are basically in the hands of the government. We can sell these lands on the list, so we can exchange them for money."
Punishment Xu Tong frowned and said, "Master, this may be difficult."
"Xiongzhou City is not well-equipped, has a small population, and has a very abundant land. When adults come, they should have seen it. There are about 1,000 acres of free land in the city, and only the rich locals are there. These lands have been listed for sale, and they basically bought everything they want to buy."
"Besides, the land in Xiongzhou City is not valuable. If adults want to use a significant price cut to attract people, how can they make up for the required expenses?"
Qin Guan smiled and said, "There is no need to lower the price, just sell it at the current price, so there will naturally be people who buy it."
"How is that possible?" Xu Tong said in disbelief.
Qin Guan didn't explain and continued: "I asked the ceremony to check the information last night. Xiongzhou City can now sell idle land for 1,123 acres, and the official price is 18 guan per acre, which is 20,000 guan."
"It's 20,214 stakes." Xu Qing said immediately.
Qin Guan pointed to another map and said, "You said yesterday that it would take 50,000 jin to resettle these refugees. Even if you sell all the land in the city, it is still not enough. So I wonder if you can sell the land outside the city."
"Sir, outside the city, there are barren slopes and barren mountains. Barren slopes are not worth much. According to the price here in Xiongzhou, one acre is only about a hundred coins. As for barren mountains, no one wants them." Xu Tong said with a frown.
Qin Guan drew a circle with his finger and said, "A acre of wasteland is not valuable. Isn't it valuable if it is too much? Xiulong Mountain, fifteen miles southwest of Xiongzhou City, should be a land without a border, and our government office will be managed by."
Xu Qing was stunned: "Sir, you don't want to sell Xiulong Mountain, are you?"
"Can't you sell it?"
Xu Qing said: "It's OK, but who would want it?"
Qin Guan pointed to the map and said, "I heard from Dian Li that the scenery there is good, the green mountains and clear waters are beautiful, so it should be a good place for outings and cultivation."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "I have been there. There are indeed mountains and rivers and scenery like picturesque. If it is in Jiangnan, someone will definitely be willing to buy it, but in Xiongzhou, I'm afraid no one will spend money to buy it."
"How can I know if I don't try it?"
"How much does that adult is going to sell for a mu?" Xu Qing asked.
"What do you think about the listing of 1oo dollars?" Qin Guan asked.
Xu Qing said bluntly, "I don't think anyone wants it."
He felt that the prefect was too whimsical. Xiongzhou was located on the border and was unsafe. There was no output in those mountains. Who would spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a mountain? If you want to see the scenery, just go there, but no one wants money.
"How much land is the adults going to sell?" Xu Qing asked again.
Qin Guan drew a big circle on the map and said, "This area has a total of four hills and three valleys, a radius of forty miles, totaling 600,000 mu. If you sell 100,000 mu per mu, it would be 60,000 coins."
"Didn't you say that the government owes those minor officials three months' wages? And this year's tax revenue is probably difficult to collect. If these places are sold, it can solve the resettlement costs of the disaster victims, and the rest can be used as financial expenses this year." Qin Guan said.
Xu Qing looked at Qin Guan, who was full of confidence, and suddenly felt disappointed. He originally thought that Qin Guan, a top scholar, might have some clever means, but now it seems that he is completely a scholar who is ignorant of the world.
Perhaps studying is a talent, but when you get to the local area, you think too ideal.
But this was the first move of the prefect after taking office. It was not a waste of money and it was difficult for him to stop him. If he had to hit a wall, he would know that it would be difficult for him to become an official in the future.
Xu Qinggong bowed his hand and said calmly: "If the adults have made a decision, I can use the seal with the adults to decide to sell the land."
"But sir, it's better to go to the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office. After all, we don't have much food anymore. If the food is really out of stock, it will inevitably cause chaos in the people. This is the top priority now."
The prefect's office was moving very quickly and an announcement was posted on the same day.
"There is an announcement from the Xiongzhou Prefecture Prefecture to sell land to the public. The idle land in Xiongzhou City is 1,123 mu, 18 kilns per mu. Xiulong Mountain is 40 miles in a radius of 600,000 mu, 100 kilns per mu. Those who want to buy it will follow."
The signature is the seal of the prefect's office.
As soon as this announcement was released, it immediately caused heated discussions in the entire Xiongzhou City.
"The new official took office for three reasons, but our prefect gave such an order. Haha, the land in the city was originally only 18 jin per acre, but it has not been sold for more than ten years. What's there to say about this?"
"It's a big deal. Xiulong Mountain is 40 miles in a radius of 600,000 mu, and 100,000 mu per mu. I'm good at land, at least 60,000 coins. Whoever has more money has nowhere to spend it will buy these barren mountains."
"Maybe it might be good if the monk and Taoist priest bought it to make a temple."
"You can take it down. I saw the monks and Taoists collect money. When did they see them spending money? They all saw good places and then directly occupied the temple building."
Someone said loudly: "Our prefect is the top scholar whom His Majesty personally named him, and the Cixian, Wenquxing descended to earth. Such a decision naturally has a profound meaning."
Someone murmured in a low voice: "What's the deep meaning? I've just been reading it."
In the yamen, the officials of the department were stunned after receiving this notice, and then the minor officials started to discuss.
"Our master is from Hangzhou, so he doesn't think that the land in Xiongzhou is as valuable as the land in Hangzhou."
"I heard that the mountains and forests outside Hangzhou are 500 yuan per acre, and our Xiongzhou is cheaper."
"Haha, 5o acre per acre, do you want it?" Jiudian Chinese website
"If it's one acre, you can consider it and find a place with better feng shui and make a grave in the future."
"You will not be afraid that your descendants will feel troublesome in a few years and will not go to worship."
