Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 177
Qin Guan is not afraid of spending money, what he thinks about is how to spend it.

It is absolutely impossible to take money out directly, it will only make everyone think you are an outlier.

After careful study, he finally thought of a way to break the situation.

When Xu Tong came over the next day, he was taken aback after hearing Qin Guan's method, and asked in surprise, "Sell land to raise money?"

"Yes, selling land to raise funds."

Qin pointed at the several hanging maps, pointed to one of them and said: "This is the map of Xiongzhou City. I found that, except for the land that has been sold, the rest of the land in the city is basically in the hands of the government. We You can sell these lands on the market, wouldn’t you be able to get money back?”

Xu Tongpan frowned and said, "Master Zhifu, I'm afraid this will be very difficult."

"Xiongzhou City was originally underdeveloped, with a small population and ample land. You should have seen it when you came here. There are about a thousand acres of free land in the city. There are only those rich people in the city. In fact, these lands have always been It was listed for sale, and basically everyone who wanted to buy was bought.”

"Besides, the land in Xiongzhou City is not worth much. If you want to attract people with a big price cut, how can you possibly get enough money?"

Qin Guan smiled and said: "There is no need to lower the price, if you sell it at the current price, people will naturally buy it."

"How is it possible?" Xu Tongpan said in disbelief.

Qin Guan didn't explain, and continued: "Last night, I asked the ceremony to check the information. The idle land that can be officially sold in Xiongzhou City is 120 and three acres. gone."

"It's 210 four strokes." Xu Qing immediately said.

Qin Guan pointed to another map and said: "You said yesterday that you need [-] guan to resettle these refugees, even if you sell all the land in the city, it is still not enough, so I wonder if it is possible to sell the land outside the city. "

"My lord, apart from private fields outside the city, there are barren slopes and barren mountains. Barren slopes are worthless. According to the price here in Xiongzhou, an acre is only about a hundred dollars. As for the barren hills, no one wants them." Xu Tongpan said with a frown. .

Qin Guan drew a circle with his finger and said: "One mu of wasteland is not worth much, isn't it worth more if there is more, Xiulong Mountain, [-] miles southwest of Xiongzhou City, should be an unowned land that should be managed by our government office. "

Xu Qing was taken aback: "My lord, you don't want to sell Xiulong Mountain, do you?"

"Can't you sell it?"

Xu Qing said: "It is possible, but who would want it?"

Qin Guan pointed to the map and said, "I heard from the pundits that the scenery there is beautiful, with green mountains, green waters, and beautiful scenery. It should be a good place for outings and sightseeing."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "I've been there before, and there are indeed picturesque mountains and rivers. If it's in the south of the Yangtze River, there must be people willing to buy it, but if it's in Xiongzhou, I'm afraid no one will spend money to buy it there."

"How do you know if you don't try."

"Then how much is it going to sell for an acre?" Xu Qing asked.

"Listed for 100 yuan, what do you think?" Qin Guan asked.

Xu Qing said bluntly, "I don't think anyone will want it."

He felt that the magistrate was too whimsical. Xiongzhou is located at the border, which is not safe in the first place, and there is no output in those mountains. Who would spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a mountain? If you want to see the scenery, just go. And no one asked for money.

"How much land are you planning to sell?" Xu Qing asked again.

Qin Guan drew a large circle on the map and said: "This area has four hills and three valleys in total, with a radius of forty miles, and a total of 60 mu. If it sells for 100 yuan per mu, it will be [-] guan."

"Didn't you say that the government owes those petty officials three months' salary, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect taxes this year. If these lands are sold, it will be enough to cover the resettlement costs for the victims, and the rest can be used for this year's income." financial expenses." Qin Guan said.

Xu Qing looked at the confident Qin Guan, and suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. Originally, he thought that Qin Guan, a top scholar, might have some clever tricks, but now it seems that he is a scholar who is completely ignorant of the world .

Maybe reading is a talent, but when you get to the place, you think too ideally.

But this was the prefect's first move after he took office, and it wasn't a waste of money, and he couldn't stop it, and if he hit a wall, he would know that it would be difficult to be an official in the future.

Xu Qing cupped his hands, and said calmly: "If your lord has already made a decision, I can use the seal to sell the land together with your lord."

"However, my lord, it is best to go to the governor's office and the chief secretary's office. After all, we are running out of food. If we really run out of food, it will inevitably cause civil unrest. This is the most important thing now."

The magistrate's yamen acted quickly, posting an announcement on the same day.

"There is an announcement from the magistrate of Xiongzhou that the land will be sold to the outside world. There are 120 mu of idle land in Xiongzhou City, and each mu has 60 guan. Hurry up."

The inscription is the big seal of the magistrate's yamen.

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions in the entire Xiongzhou City.

"The new official took office three fires, but our magistrate gave such an order, hehe, the land in the city was originally [-] acres per mu, and it has not been sold for more than ten years. What is there to shout about?" of."

"It's a big deal. Xiulong Mountain has a radius of 60 miles and 100 mu, and it pays [-] yuan per mu. I am a good boy, at least [-] yuan. Whoever has more money and has nowhere to spend will buy these barren hills."

"Maybe, it would be good if monks and priests bought it to make a dojo."

"Pull it down. I saw monks and Taoists collecting money. Whenever I saw them spend money, they all saw a good place and then directly occupied the temple building."

Someone said loudly: "Our magistrate, that is the number one scholar personally appointed by His Majesty, the Cixian who was personally sealed, and the star of Wenqu came down to earth. Naturally, such a decision has a deep meaning."

Someone muttered in a low voice: "What's the meaning, I'm just stupefied after reading."

In the yamen, the officials of the field sales experience department were taken aback after receiving the notice, and then the small officials started talking about it.

"Our grand master is from Hangzhou, so he doesn't think that the land in Xiongzhou is as valuable as the land in Hangzhou."

"I heard that the forests outside Hangzhou cost 500 yuan per mu. We in Xiongzhou sell them cheap."

"Haha, 50 yuan per mu, do you want it?"

"If it's an acre, you can consider it and find a place with better Fengshui, and use it as a grave mound in the future."

"It's 15 miles away from the city, so you won't be afraid that your descendants won't go to worship in a few years because they think it's troublesome."

As soon as Qin Guan's order came out, people talked about it, and everyone was not optimistic, thinking that no one would be so stupid to buy these lands.
