Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 580 Property Tax

In the eastern and western cities, more and more wealthy businessmen are buying stores and hoarding them.

They all want to rely on hoarding shops, and sell them at a high price when there are more other merchants in the East and West cities.

Most of these businessmen are related to some dignitaries in the court.

High House.

Gao Shilian was sitting in the living room drinking tea. Below him stood a fat man. He was a close friend of Gao Shilian and was mainly in charge of high-priced business. His name was Fang Bushe.

"How are the purchases at the shops in the east and west cities?"

"Master, we now have more than [-] sets of shops in our hands, and the prices of these shops have risen a lot now, even if we don't wait to sell them to other merchants, even if we change hands now, we can earn thousands of dollars. money."

Hearing this, Gao Shilian nodded: "Okay, continue to buy for me, don't sell, now is not the time, after Qin Tian sends out the policy of encouraging business, there will be more merchants in Chang'an City. The shops in the city are tight, and the prices of these shops can at least double."

"Master, don't worry, if you ask to buy, we will buy, if you ask to sell, we will sell."

Gao Shilian nodded: "Okay, let's get down and get busy."

The business of shops in the eastern and western cities is booming, and Qin Tian has been sending people to watch over them, and he has already controlled the people behind the scenes who buy shops in large quantities.

When everything was almost done, he knew that it was time for him to make a move.

This morning, Qin Tian explained some policies to encourage business in the court. These policies are very helpful in attracting businessmen from all over the world to Chang'an, and they are also particularly attractive.

After saying this, no one objected.

Li Shimin also felt that Qin Tian did a good job.

"Qin Aiqing has done a good job, let's follow these policies and implement them."

Qin Tian nodded, and said again: "Your Majesty, I have another proposal."

"Say!"

"After these policies are implemented, many more people will definitely come to Chang'an City. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in Chang'an. If the residence of merchants becomes a problem, then these policies will not be implemented well. It is also difficult to achieve the desired effect, after all, the increase in living costs will deter many businessmen."

Qin Tian suddenly mentioned the house. Some ministers in the court looked at each other, and their eyebrows were a little flustered. They have hoarded a lot of houses. If Qin Tian made some unfavorable policies for them, then they might It's going to be miserable.

So, after looking at each other, someone stood up.

"My lord, I don't think what Lord Qin said is a big problem. A businessman, if he can start a business, he must be a rich person. Presumably he won't care about housing prices."

"Yes, my lord, merchants have a lot of money, can't they even afford a house?"

"........."

Everyone talked one after another, elevating the businessman very high, as if, in this world, as long as money can solve the problem, the businessman can solve it.

However, after they had spent so much time talking, Li Shimin said: "What Qin Aiqing said makes sense, so what does Qin Aiqing think, how should we deal with this kind of thing?"

Li Shimin completely ignored what other people said, he seemed to understand everything, but he didn't say anything, he just ignored them anyway.

The ministers who stood up were a little embarrassed. Are they airless? What was said just now was for nothing?

Several people looked at each other. At this moment, Qin Tian spoke again and said, "Your Majesty, I think that we should pay for the management of my Datang house. We can specify some real estate laws for this purpose, such as collecting tax on purchases. In the future, whenever there is a house Buying and selling must be registered with the corresponding department, so as to ensure that the interests of both parties are protected. After all, if the relevant department has files, it is difficult for anyone to deceive anyone. What’s more, people who own more than two sets of properties must pay property taxes , Of course, if there are many houses and you are willing to rent them out at a low price, the property tax can be reduced or exempted..."

Qin Tian said in the court hall. After hearing this, the faces of all the officials changed. He thought how could Qin Tian come up with such an absolute solution. If he really did this, the transaction and price of the house would be matched After all, every time a transaction is made, a certain purchase tax must be paid to the court. The cost of purchasing a house increases, so naturally no one buys it easily.

What's more, it's the property tax. Those who have two or more houses have to pay. Those who hoard a lot of shops, don't they have to spit out the money they earned?
Encouraging renting will force house prices to drop.

Gao Shilian's face was very ugly, it would make him bleed profusely, so after Qin Tian finished speaking, he stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, no, your Majesty has just ascended the Great Treasure, and it is to reduce taxes and taxes for the people of the world to win the hearts of the people." When the time comes, how can we cleverly set up a name to collect taxes, it’s not right, it’s not right.”

After Gao Shilian finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said, "Yes, my lord, this matter is too inappropriate. Master Qin is simply forcing the lord to become a tyrant. This tax can be increased if it can be said that the people want it. Unhappy..."

"........."

Qin Tian's policy touched their interests, and they were not happy about it, so they stood up without any hesitation, but, just as they were shouting, Qin Tian suddenly smiled coldly: " Ordinary people, with only one house, do not need to pay this property tax at all, and those who can afford several properties are naturally not short of money, so what about paying some property tax?"

This was what these people said about those businessmen before, but now Qin Tian fought back, and after such a sentence came out, the officials who were stunned were immediately speechless.

Li Shimin smiled inwardly, but on the surface he was very calm, and said: "Qin Aiqing is right. Since there are a lot of real estate, let's call it some real estate tax. Today's Tang Dynasty needs the help of these rich people."

Everyone became more speechless and stunned. Obviously, Qin Tian and Li Shimin were wearing a pair of pants.

"My lord, in addition, I feel that soon, the scale of the east and west cities will not be able to support the expansion of merchants. Therefore, the east and west cities will also extend to both sides. In order to better serve the merchants, I think that the imperial court will When the Ministry of Industry is sent to build some shops for rent to those merchants, firstly, it is convenient for the merchants, and secondly, it also increases some income for the Ministry of Households, which eases my difficulties in Datang."

After saying this, everyone raised their eyebrows more and more. If there are more shops in East and West, then even if they have shops in their hands, what's the use? This market still wants to talk about the relationship between supply and demand.

If merchants can rent cheap ones, why buy them?

Qin Tian, ​​this is to force them to a dead end.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They were a little thankful that they didn't make a move to buy a house. Otherwise, Qin Tian's policies would have made them hemorrhage.

Fortunately, the loss was avoided.
