Chapter 1441 Red and Black Faces

Under Guo Jia's instruction, the Su family, the Zhen family, the Mi family and other large merchants in Yunzhou began to sell their land.

They have strong capital and a lot of land in their hands.

With so many vacant lands flooding into the market at once, the increasingly high land prices were suppressed at once.

But Chang'an has almost gathered merchants from all over the country, and they hold nearly half of the country's wealth in their hands.

Although the Su family, the Zhen family, and the Mi family are rich, they are still not enough compared to them.

Seeing that there are so many open spaces suddenly in the market, after a short period of silence, they suddenly act quickly.

Gobble up the land released by the three families.

Land prices in Chang'an once again hit a new high.

Now the price of one mu of land is equal to the output of 70 years. In other words, if you buy one mu of land, you only need to cultivate it for 70 years to get back the cost.

Even so, it still attracts a large number of people to come to Chang'an to buy land.

Yunzhou's business houses in various places were ordered to stop issuing money invoices to local merchants, but some merchants still came with their own money and goods.

They all have a common goal in mind, to buy the land in Chang'an, and then wait for the appreciation to make a fortune.

Jia Xu is completely helpless at the moment.

At present, the land price in Chang'an is no longer affordable for ordinary people, nor is it affordable for them.

He had no choice but to tell Guo Jia the seriousness of the matter again.

If there is no way, Chang'an will explode.

Wenhe!

Guo Jia clapped his hands together and said helplessly, "I really can't help it, and you won't help me, so I can only take one step at a time."

He expected that Jia Xu would not sit idly by, so he was confident.

Anyway, Jia Xu is the captain of Sili, and the land price in Chang'an is soaring, he is the first to have a headache.

The corner of Jia Xu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Guo Jia's shamelessness.

He had already made up his mind not to make a bad move.

Since ancient times, who has never died?
He also wants to leave a better name in history.

But it seems too early to tell.

This guy seems to be determined to eat himself.

That's it!

It's enough to make another bad move, who will let himself be short-mouthed and short-handed?
"What do you want me to do?"

Jia Xu asked stiffly.

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Guo Jiadeng was overjoyed.

"Wenhe is really the mainstay of Yunzhou and the pillar of the country. As long as you are willing to help, I have the confidence to make Chang'an a peaceful transition."

He said swearingly.

Before that, Guo Jia thought for a long time before he came up with a solution.

Say the point!
Jia Xu couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

He also guessed that Guo Jia would not let him do anything good.

It is not easy to solve such a big issue of land price in Chang'an smoothly.

very good!

Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "I plan to increase the land value-added tax in the name of your Captain Sili."

what?
Jia Xu saw it in puzzlement.

A vacancy tax was made before, and now what kind of value-added tax is going to be made.

Co-authoring this land is a piece of fat, you can dig as much as you want!

Don't say that the businessmen disagree, and the common people will not agree either.

People's life savings are all in these lands. If you tax too much, it's no wonder they don't work hard for you.

The difficulty now is that Chang'an has entered the era of land speculation by the whole people.

If you raise taxes one after another, it's no wonder the people don't rebel.

and many more!

Jia Xu immediately grasped an important point.

In the name of Captain Sili.

Isn't the captain of Sili himself? Why does Guo Jia collect taxes in his own name?

Isn't this letting yourself go to the mine?

Thinking of this, Jia Xu looked a little unhappy.

It's fine for you to do bad things, why let him go to top the tank?

If the value-added tax came out, the angry people might tear up the boss, Li Xiaowei's yamen, and Jia Xu, the Sili Xiaowei, to pieces.

Isn't this tricking him?

Jia Xu shook her head hastily.

"Well, this subordinate really can't help you, you'd better hire someone else. Just pretend I didn't say anything about it."

With that said, he turned his head and was about to leave.

He also didn't want Guo Jia to die.

Wait a minute, wait a minute!
Guo Jia hastily grabbed Jia Xu.

"I also know that tax increase is not good at this time, but there is no other way. Only by collecting value-added tax can we effectively stabilize the low price, and then gradually increase it."

He explained a few words.

"In fact, we don't need to kill all the land speculators with one shot. Let's set an exemption quota first, let's say 25 mu of land per person. In this way, [-]% of the people should be filtered out."

Exemption quota!

For the new words coming out of Guo Jia's mouth again, Jia Xu has long been not surprised.

In any society, a small number of people control most of the wealth, and the Han Dynasty was no exception.

People's money is limited after all.

With the land price in Yunzhou, 25 mu per capita is considered the limit.

If this amount of taxation is really adopted, the vast majority of the people will be excluded from taxation.

In this case, at least [-]% of the resistance will be reduced.

Most of the remaining land is in the hands of a very small number of people, and they are the people Guo Jia wants to focus on taxing.

allowed
But the difficulty is still great.

Although the remaining people are few, they have a lot of resources, and there are some high-ranking officials among them.

If Guo Jia forcibly increases taxes, it will inevitably touch their interests.

If these people are in chaos, they will be no less destructive than [-]% of the common people.

That's why I want you to help me!

Guo Jia smiled and said: "You come to promulgate this order, ordinary people naturally have no opinion. But other people have big opinions. Most of them will move around and sabotage this plan. Many of these people are insiders in Yunzhou. The relationship will definitely come to me. Then I will come forward, and you don’t have to give me face. We can pretend to have a big fight. In the end, the two reached a consensus that the tax increase will remain unchanged, but it will be postponed for half a year.”

I understand!

Jia Xu suddenly said: "You want me to play a bad role, and you to play a bad role? I will be the villain, you will be the good person, and then a good thing will be achieved through bargaining, and then everyone will think of you, right?"

He was suddenly a little angry and funny.

That's what it means!
Guo Jia clapped his hands.

That's what he thought.

It really is a clever plan!
Jia Xu said bluntly: "But Lord Guo. You've put so much effort into it, and you're playing bad face and bad face. In the end, it's just to postpone the implementation of the new tax for half a year. What are you trying to do?"

The current crisis in Chang'an is already very serious, and it is meaningless for Guo Jia to fight for the six months.

wrong!

Guo Jia shook his finger and said word by word: "There is a saying in the art of war. It is the best policy to surrender without fighting. The value-added tax is thrown out to tell those people that the land in their hands can already bring them wealth. The reason for the half-year reprieve is to give them a chance to save themselves. These people are smart people, and they will definitely throw away the extra land in their hands during the half-year period."
