Chapter 207: Infrastructure Maniac (Alliance Leader Plus Change)
In the contract signed between Kunshan County and Kunkaisi, it was stipulated that the county would lease 100,000 acres of abandoned land on both sides of Yanglintang to Kunkaisi for 99 years.
But only the first twenty years are rent-free, and they are not tax-free. From the twenty-first year onwards, it is necessary to pay rent and taxes as in the normal official field.
ps. Thank you to the new alliance leader '1 read the book 1 when you have time', thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass!!!
In this way, instead of decreasing, the county's tax revenue will increase significantly. Because abandoned land, as the name suggests, is an ownerless land abandoned by the common people and turned into wasteland, naturally it will not generate taxes.
The extra 100,000 acres of land, just one season of autumn grain, can give the county an extra 30,000 stone in taxes.
And from the twenty-first year, the county was able to collect an additional rent of 30,000 or 40,000 stones. This is equivalent to giving the county an extra 100,000 acres of official land!
In fact, there is no need to wait for twenty-one years at all - because Kunshan County still has a quarter of the shares of Kunkaisi, and as long as Kunkaisi starts to make a profit, the county will be able to make money.
The most satisfying thing for Lin Zhongcheng is that these lands still belong to the county and have not been divided among the gentry.
You don't see that hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land have been produced in Wujiang County, and not a single acre has fallen into the hands of the government, and all of them have been divided up by the gentry.
It's really better than people to die, and goods have to be thrown away!
Lin Run read and watched, liked and praised, and asked people to copy this contract, and he wanted to go back and study it again to see if it could be promoted in various counties.
Then he looked at Zhao Shouzheng deeply and said: "If you are Zaifu in the future, then Ming Zhongxing is promising." ”
"Oops, Zhongcheng praised it." Zhao Shouzheng was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xiaguan is just a small magistrate, and he has done something insignificant, it's not a big deal." ”
"Nope." Lin Run shook his head categorically and said: "Your exploration in Kunshan has pointed out an unprecedented new path for this court and the imperial court - it turns out that you can do great things without money!" ”
If Zhao Hao could hear these words, he would definitely give Lin Zhongcheng a thumbs up. Sharp, too perceptive, almost immediately touched the knack of land finance.
This has made many officials 400 years later unable to catch up.
~~
When Zhao Shouzheng was stunned, Lin Zhongcheng smiled and asked:
"How long is this embankment?"
"Back to Zhongcheng, after cutting and straightening, it will be fifty-eight miles."
"That's less than 20,000 taels in that mile?" Lin Runxiao was taken aback. "The stone pond built by others costs 30,000 taels a mile."
"They have a long time, and the labor is high." Zhao Erye replied according to the script, and said in his heart that it was actually less than 10,000 taels in one mile.
"Well, that makes sense. Save trouble and money, this cement is really a good thing? Lin Run said leisurely: "So where can I buy it?" ”
That's his main idea.
No matter if you are a prefect or a governor, you can't resist the temptation of cement, meow......
"All the cement, as well as the stone, is purchased from Jiangnan Building Materials Company." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly replied.
"Jiangnan Building Materials Company......" Lin Run coughed dryly: "Didn't you say that the cement is owned by Jiangnan Company?" What is the relationship between these two? ”
"It's about a father-son relationship."
"Then it's the same thing." Lin Run looked at the river with his hands behind his back and asked, "What is the origin of this Jiangnan company?" ”
"It's a group of gentry from Jiangnan and a business name." Zhao Shouzheng replied honestly: "As the inventor of cement, Xiaoer also has a little stake in it. Without his matchmaking, Xiaguan would not be able to connect to the line of Jiangnan Company. ”
"Oh? Linglang also has shares? Lin Run asked with interest as if he had heard it for the first time, "Is it convenient to disclose how much?" ”
Officials from the imperial history are not good at this, and they like to get to the bottom of everything, which is difficult for people to handle.
"Two percent." Zhao Shouzheng replied affirmatively.
This is by no means a lie, even if Lin Run ordered to retrieve the equity file of Jiangnan Company, he could only see the same result.
Because Zhao Hao had already taken precautions, he evacuated the equity in advance.
He first introduced a number of strategic shareholders and diluted Jiangnan from a one-person company to a company limited by shares.
Then, on the premise of the agreement of 'weighted voting rights', he introduced the salt merchant as a financial investor, took over 20% of his shares, and successfully reduced his equity to less than 50%.
Then, through the exchange of shares with Wu Ji, while acquiring Wu Ji, he further reduced his shareholding in Jiangnan Company to a little more than one-third, that is, 36 percent.
However, his voting rights in Jiangnan Company have swelled to 74 percent, nearly three-quarters, and he has absolute control over the company.
This is not enough, Zhao Hao has recently become a 'singularity holdings', to hold 34% of the shares of Jiangnan Company in his name. In this way, his personal shareholding on the list of shareholders was reduced to a paltry two percent, making him the smallest shareholder in the whole company.
Although Zhao Gongzi's hiding is not hidden enough at present, it is enough to make everyone feel comfortable.
At least don't think of him as a crazy bloated little monster, and that's enough.
Sure enough, even if he was as shrewd as Lin Zhongcheng, after hearing that Zhao Hao only owned two percent of the shares, he also cheered for him:
"Ling Lang is still too young, I'm afraid that he will be bullied by those old foxes, he invented the artifact of cement, and it is reasonable to occupy at least one to two percent of the shares."
"Jiangnan Company has a big plate, and two percent is a lot, which is enough for my grandfather to spend." Zhao Shouzheng said with a materialistic expression.
"Okay, if you are not indifferent, you can't have a clear ambition." Lin Zhongcheng praised Second Master Zhao again, and then pointed to Kunnan Dao, who had receded from the water:
"This year's flood situation is over, what is Kunshan going to do next?"
Zhao Shouzheng replied: "The next three phases of water conservancy projects will be carried out. ”
"There are still three phases of the project?" Lin Run couldn't help laughing and said, "I think you're addicted to building embankments." ”
"In the past few years, Kunshan has fallen too far behind in neighboring counties, and there are many lessons to make up." I only heard Zhao Shouzheng say in a deep voice: "Although Kunbei has been renovated now, Kunnan is still the same. Therefore, the goal of the third phase of the project is to keep Kunnan away from floods for a long time! ”
"It's a big project." Lin Run beckoned, and Chang Sui hurriedly presented a map of Kunshan.
Zhao Shouzheng crossed a line on the map with his finger and said: "First of all, the south embankment of the Wusong River is sixty miles, then the embankment of Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake, and the embankment of the Puhe River in the south, which is about one hundred and twenty miles. ”
"Hey, it's a hundred and eighty miles." With the first two phases of the project there, Lin Run naturally did not doubt that Zhao Shouzheng could do what he said.
It's just that this terrifying construction ability is really unbearable for people's hearts.
It's almost like an 'infrastructure maniac'.
"yes. Phase 3 is a big project. Zhao Shouzheng replied with a serious face: "The county also feels very difficult, and Kunnan still has to carry out large-scale epidemic prevention and repair, and it may not be completed before the year." You can't afford to have a holiday during the New Year, right? I'm afraid it's going to be February. Hey, then next year's schedule will be disrupted......"
Governor Lin listened to the black line in his head.
Nima has a full 180-mile embankment, and others can't finish it in ten years, are you still afraid that you won't be able to do it before the year?
It's only three months away from the Chinese New Year, do you know?
Do you want to live in other counties!
More than 1,400 prefects and counties across the country, as well as we, the prefects, all let you abuse the juice, you know?!
