Li An thought for a while and said: "Although there are many uninhabited and broken houses in Chang'an, the distribution is very scattered, and the people living around are the low-level people, and it is not good to repair official houses, one is to reduce the identity of officials, and secondly, many of the owners of these houses are not in Chang'an, it is not easy to buy land from them, it is better to change places, such as Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, the land is basically owned by the government, and it does not cost much money to build official houses." ”

A sentence reminded Guo Song that he had forgotten such a large area of land as Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, and he immediately decided: "Then in Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, can you take this job?" ”

Zhang Lei and Li An glanced at each other, both of them showed excitement in their eyes, they had bought official houses for Guo Song before, and they knew everything about the situation of the fields and houses in Chang'an, they knew that the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty was used to settle the displaced people, and after the displaced people were driven to Hexi, most of the Han Chang'an City was deserted, and there were large pieces of broken grass houses everywhere, and even wasteland overgrown with weeds, the land was very cheap, and it could be bought with a little money from the government.

Chang'an people also disdain to go to Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty to buy land and build houses, the reputation is too bad, and it is really embarrassing to live there, but if it becomes a gathering place for official residences, it will be different, and the price of land will definitely rise sharply.

"Let's do it!"

The two said in unison, this is indeed a big deal, how can they turn it away.

"If you want to take it, come to the Jin Wangfu early the day after tomorrow to sign a contract, the construction time is limited, the quality of the house is required, you want a brick house, do you understand?"

"We understand that anyway, after we finish building, we will add 30% of the net profit to the capital, so that everyone is refreshed."

..........

Early the next morning, Guo Song came to the official room of the Jin Palace, Wen Miao, who joined the army in the record room, came over with a pile of documents, Guo Song looked at the thick pile of documents on the table and frowned, "I want to approve these?" ”

"Nope! No! His Highness misunderstood, most of the important things that have happened in the past few months have been dealt with, and there are only fifteen things that need to be dealt with by His Highness, and he just wants His Highness to see it. ”

"Is there a catalogue of these instruments?"

"Yes! The lowly duty has been made and placed on top. ”

"Alright! I'll take a look first, and I'll look back on you if I have any questions. ”

"Retire from your duties!"

Wen Miao was about to retreat, but Guo Song remembered something and stopped him.

"There's one more thing you need to deal with right away."

Guo Song took out a handwritten contract of his own hand and handed it to Wen Miao, "This contract is about the construction of the official residence, you take it to Cao Lingtai and Du Sima to see, they can supplement the places that need to be improved, and if there is no problem, they will officially copy it in duplicate, and tomorrow morning Zhang Dongzhu and Li Dongzhu will come to sign the contract." ”

"Humble and now."

Wen Miao took the contract and hurried away.

Guo Song casually picked up the content index table of contents on the document and looked at it carefully.

When he left, he entrusted the affairs of Guanzhong to Cao Wannian and Du You, and the two of them discussed and handled all the big and small matters.

Cao Wannian has followed him for many years, knows his style of doing things, he can consider things according to his own ideas, and Du You was once the right scholar of the imperial court, in charge of the three departments of officials, households, and rites, and has rich experience in government affairs, and the two cooperate very tacitly.

Guo Song was very interested in one of them, which was an application report submitted by Zhao Jun, the county commander of Yunyang County, Yunyang County required a thorough investigation of slave black households, and this report was approved by Cao Wannian and Du You, pending the approval of His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

In fact, Guo Song began to abolish the untouched nationality in Hedong last year, forcing the major estates to release slaves and increase the population, but the order to eliminate untouchable slaves in Hedong has not been deepened, but it is only a superficial taste, and there are still a large number of official slaves in the state and county governments, and there are slaves and maids in large households in the city.

The only success was the abolition of the untouchable register, a large number of untouchable households who relied on the wealthy families had their own household registrations, and in addition, special household registrations such as prostitutes, happy households, military households, and artisan households were abolished and uniformly classified as private households.

But slaves are not even untouchables in the government, and the abolition of untouchables naturally has nothing to do with them.

For example, if the husband and wife were originally commoners and were forced to sell themselves into slavery, their names were removed from the official civilian register, their names were registered in the slave register, and a deed of identity was made at the same time, which is not bad, at least their names can be found in the official statistics.

There is also a situation, the child born by the couple is also the master's slave, if the master does not go to the government for the record, the child will not have any record in the government, this is called the slave black household, such slaves exist in large numbers in real life, they do not have any personal security, just like livestock, many people spend their lives in the manor farming until they die.

In fact, the Song Dynasty did a very good job in the matter of slaves, the Song Dynasty had no slaves, everyone was civilians, the commodity economy was highly developed, the population movement was very large, and the situation of land annexation was not serious.

The reason is very simple, he annexed a large amount of land, but there was no slave to cultivate it for him, and if it was handed over to the tenant to cultivate, and the tenant did not pay much rent, and the land tax had to be borne by himself, it was also not cost-effective, it was better to invest in business and earn a little more.

The reason why land annexation became common in the Tang Dynasty was largely related to the slavery system, and Guo Song also hoped to abolish slavery like the Song Dynasty, but this took time, step by step, and many reforms came naturally, such as slaves could not be bought and sold, wages must be paid, personal injuries were not allowed, etc., and when slaves became vain, it would be natural to abolish it.

Therefore, Yunyang County proposed to thoroughly investigate the slave black households, Guo Song was very interested, this is a good first step, once Yunyang County succeeds, it can be promoted in various places, this kind of slave black households will not be too much resistance to Ming slaves, after all, it is still a slave to the Ming slave, but it is necessary to go to the government to register, so that the government can find out the real number of people in its jurisdiction.

Guo Song took out the report and put it aside, tomorrow he will go to Yunyang County to take a look at it on the spot.

At this time, a practitioner said at the door: "Your Highness, Du Sima asks to see you!" ”

Guo Song nodded, "Please let him in!" ”

Du Sima is Du You, he was officially named the left Sima of the Jin Palace, the original Sima of the Jin Palace, the original Sima of the Jin Palace, Guo Song divided the Sima into the left and right Sima, in this way, the left Sima Du You, the right Sima Zhang Qianyi, the long history Pan Liao, if you add the Su Zheng Tai Ling Cao Wannian, the Su Zheng Tai Xue Changshou, the White Tiger Hall Chief Judge Liu Zi, and the Tiance Mansion Governor Shi Zhang Qiu'an, these seven people actually formed the military and political team of Guo Song's political affairs hall.

Now Du You and Cao Wannian are responsible for assisting Guo Song to clear all kinds of shortcomings left by Zhu Zhu in Guanzhong and Chang'an, sort out various relationships, and prepare for the relocation of the Jin Palaces and Tiance Mansions to Chang'an.

Du You hurriedly walked into the room and bowed, "See the envoy!" ”

"Dusima has worked hard this time, please take a seat!"

Guo Song politely invited Du You to sit down, and let the tea boy serve tea, Du You smiled: "This time is indeed very busy, but I feel very fulfilling, and I am very happy to slowly reverse the mess before." ”

"Land redistribution solved?"

"It's basically solved, I distributed it to the counties, and then the military assisted, and the people I sent were responsible for supervising, so to speak, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it, fortunately, the resistance is much smaller than I imagined, mainly those who occupy more land through various relationships, if you don't accept it, then it will be confiscated, and you won't get anything, and after killing a dozen people, the others will honestly accept it."

Guo Song nodded, he recognized Du You's way, and if he didn't come up with some thunderbolt means, it would be ineffective to blindly reason.

"The countryside is arable land, but the city is a house, how is the house cleaned?"

Du You bowed down and said: "The house is much easier than the cultivated land, we Zhu Jun during the Guanzhong period to find out all the changes in the house deed, eliminate the legal transactions, the rest of the invalid, order the occupier to move out, the whole December to solve this problem, involving thousands of houses all over Guanzhong." ”

"The question is...... How do you know which ones are legitimate? Guo Song asked curiously.

Du You smiled slightly: "In fact, it is also simple, legal transactions must pay taxes, no taxes, of course not legal, if it is a transaction that you are willing to make, the buyer and seller can pay taxes to make the transaction legal." ”

"Isn't there a problem here?" Guo Song asked.

Du You groaned and said: "There are indeed some problems, mainly involving the private sale of official mansions, the officials appointed by Zhu Jun sold the official mansions, and the money from the sale went into personal pockets. ”

"And how did you deal with this situation?" Guo Song asked.

"This kind of thing also has to be divided into two, if it is sold to his relatives and friends at an extremely low price, this has nothing to say, it will be confiscated, if it is sold to businessmen or other large families at a normal price, and the money that this official is greedy for has been confiscated by us, in this case, we are returning seventy percent of the house money and taking back the house, and there is a risk in buying the official house, since they dare to buy it, they must bear the loss of thirty percent."

"They have no complaints?"

"How can there be no complaints, but I told them, this is already very kind, in the past, the imperial court dealt with this situation, not a penny was returned, and the losses were theirs, if they were not satisfied, then everyone would tear their faces, not a penny would be returned, if you want to move to Chengdu, you should go, and everyone honestly signed and accepted."

Guo Song laughed, "Du Sima is still very courageous!" ”

"Your Highness has won the award, many things are forced out, and if you don't cut through the mess quickly, you will have endless disasters."

"Is there anything else going on with Dusima?"

Du You nodded, "There are two very important things to report to Your Highness. ”
