Villager of Daming

Chapter 950 The population increases and the town is transferred to the county

"Your Highness, I have been out for a long time, and I still feel unwell when I return to my hometown! It is dry and cold in winter elsewhere, but it is normally hot in summer..."

After breakfast, Wang Hushou led the team to see the river. There are many rivers flowing through the local area.

There is Tianchi in Ningwuguan, so Tianchi River is named here, which has the same name as Tianchi River in Hubei. It is generally known as Wufeng Mountain Tianchi.

The Tianchi River in Changbai Mountain is not called Tianchi River, but the water flowing down is called Songhua River, Yalu River, and Tumen River.

Loufan Town also has Sanchuan River, Beichuan River, Nanchuan River and Dongchuan River, so it is called Sanchuan River. In fact, there is also Xichuan River.

The Lan River coming from Lan County also flows through Loufan Town. There are many mountains around it, and small rivers can always gather there, including those from mountain springs.

"We feel the humid heat. There are obviously many rivers, but it is still dry. Looking around, we can't find a good plain around.

We came from Yangqu County, where the terrain is high, at least the top is flat, but this place is all hilly.

No matter how big or small the mountain is, planting land requires climbing hills. It is easy to burn cement locally and build steps for mountain roads.

We looked at the information and found out that there is bauxite, a refractory material. Or we have to quarry stones and use them to build steps. It feels more tiring, right? "

Zhu Fan raised his telescope and looked around, but his mind was filled with the impact of the topography on the economy, and he did not have the feeling of admiring the mountains and rivers.

The head of the village listed the local resources. There are many mountains and rocks. Various stones, including marble, white marble, glass-fired quartz...

There are also gold and copper mines, but they are too difficult to mine and are not cost-effective. I just throw them away and leave them to future generations.

Limestone is the most abundant. If used properly, it is needed for industry and agriculture, including breeding, burning with coal, and transporting it downstream to other places where there is no limestone to make money.

A village chief took the opportunity to speak: "Originally, there were a lot of people in the county, with more than a dozen villages. But then there was a war, floods and droughts, and it was difficult to grow food. Some people moved away from the village.

There are only four real villages left, and there are more than a dozen or a few other families who are looking for a place to live. They can't collect the land and can't find anyone to serve.

The county has been removed and transformed into a town. We belong to Jingle County. Jingle County wants to find people to work, but the road is far and the people are disobedient.

Your Highness, can we still become a county? After all, Jingle County is not Loufan Town, my heart..."

The director stopped as he said this. Everyone knows the meaning behind it, the heart is not the same heart.

People with an above-average IQ even know what the chief here wants to do, so they select some county officials from the local area. The local scholar Wang Xizeng from the West is appointed as the county magistrate.

His son happened to be helping, and he worked with other sergeants to complete the county. There was still a lot of land that was abandoned, people had left, and the land could not be cultivated.

Zhu Fan looked at his second brother with a troubled expression: "Father, can you agree? I haven't become a vassal yet."

"Ask the head of the district." Zhu Xi didn't dare to agree, but he knew who could do it. His own marriage had been messed up by an expert. Is the issue of turning a town into a county a problem?

"Li Chang?" Zhu Fan followed Shan Ruliu and looked at the Li Chang.

"Your Highness, if people need to be relocated from other places, it is best to help build the house first. Two-story brick and concrete is good.

Find people from places with a lot of people and little land to come and work to build houses. After building the houses, sell them to them, and then they move their homes here.

The local primary industry should be mainly cash crops, supplemented by food crops, so that the people who come over can have enough to eat.

Cash crops can be sold to make money, and non-staple food can be increased to cooperate with large-scale farming and dispersed farming. If we want to develop, we must develop coal and steel processing industries, and the chemical industry must wait for our village's technology to come up.

Bauxite is also good. In the future, aluminum will be produced in large quantities and alloyed with other metals. It has a wide range of uses and is used in small quantities in the village. "

The village chief did not raise the issue of difficulty at all. He himself felt that His Majesty must understand the matter in one sentence, otherwise the development will not be successful and Xiaqiu Village will be embarrassed.

The officials who followed over again confirmed that the chief of Xiaqiu Village was more effective in speaking than the four highnesses, so... don't show any disrespect to the four highnesses, otherwise...

"Okay, okay, the district chief has thought carefully. Once the population increases, it will naturally become a county. How will the house be sold?

The houses in key places in Yingtian Mansion are only for rent, not for sale, to facilitate the control of housing prices. Only those who originally own houses can sell them.

They build houses here and pay them wages, so they can’t live in them for free, right? We don’t need to pay for resources, but labor costs are additional expenses. "

Zhu Fan was happy and turned to compare Nanjing with the migrant worker settlement in Yingtianfu. The houses there were better, the newly built ones were better, and they had sewer systems and water supply systems.

All are rented, and the pricing power is in the hands of the father, so as to control the housing prices in Yingtianfu.

Changing to Loufan Town, how to operate Loufan County in the future? don't know!

The mayor waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, local houses cannot be rented. Those who have permanent property have perseverance. The houses in Nanjing are not intended for people to have permanent property. Those from outside can only buy them with other people in Yingtian Mansion.

How can Loufan Town compare to Nanjing? If you want to sell it to the people, pay it in installments, without interest, theoretically we will lose money.

In fact, when people come, jobs are arranged for them, and the land is divided, the overall economy will improve, and His Highness will be able to utilize more resources.

If they have the skills of our team of craftsmen, what if we directly give them a house? "

The four princes nodded together, OK, cheating, no, treat the people sincerely and allow installment payments, such as fifty years?

Anyway, if you have a house and people live here, you have to find something to do.

The purpose of charging money for a house is to tell people that you can’t get something for nothing. It doesn’t cost much. Stone and coal are readily available. You can hire people to dig and burn them and then build a house. It’s cheap!

Under normal circumstances, when people are asked to migrate, they need to be given land, but they are not given to build houses. The people build their own houses.

Then the relocated people received grain for the harvest season, as well as seeds and farm tools, and the people took the grain to farm.

In the past few years, land taxes were exempted, and the people actually passed by looking at the land.

Another option is to have no choice but to kill them if they don't leave, or to increase the land tax and make the payment several times, so the people have to leave their homes.

"You can't give them away. They are too incompetent. You have to take the money and pay the money to buy a house every month. You force them to work hard, otherwise they will sell their land and houses to pay back the money."

Zhu Fan thought of a good way to pay it back every month. The reason why he didn't pay it every day was that it was too troublesome and the people who came to collect the money would be exhausted.

"Monthly payment, annual payment, some people will slack off, we must let them use some income every month to pay off the rent.

In fact...if the price of the house is set higher, there can be a profit.

After all, in a few decades, currency will inevitably experience inflation, and it cannot always be controlled at the current purchasing power. "

The manager came up with another idea, shouting the price higher, and then said no interest would be charged. In fact, the interest has been earned back through the house price.

"Let's first see how much the people can afford. The house is too expensive and the money earned every month is not enough to repay it. How can the people be willing to come here?"

Zhu Fan shook his head. He knew that the chief was telling him how to make money, but he didn't want to. He wanted stability.
