Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 540 Several Requirements
When it comes to conditions, Sun Xiangfu can of course propose a lot, but Sun Xiangfu will not mention unrealistic things.

"If you still want to use the trick of gecko to cut off the tail to preserve the wealth of the family, it can only be said that you are dreaming, and I will not turn over old accounts. If you implement the civil policy of the imperial court, you will be greedy for money. Come on, then, we can continue talking."

The citizenship policy was implemented in Shannan Province after Samurai Xun took office, that is, about three years, and it was actually implemented in only two years. Datang’s economy took off almost two or three years ago in Zhenguan. Three years later, if the central states with relatively normal taxation are calculated, in the past three years, each state has almost lost more than one million guan in finance and tax, with an average of more than 30 guan per year. This is almost the average tax level of more than 20 central states in Datang. , but more than one or two times higher than in history.

The reason why there is such a high taxation is, of course, that after Sun Xiangfu crossed, he almost eliminated all the failures of Li Shimin, allowing him to make great strides all the way and develop rapidly, so that the population, field output, and the degree of development of various places have increased compared to history. One or two times.

But in fact, the income of several big families in the past three years is not just this little bit. They not only embezzled the money of the court, but also cheated the money of the common people. Sun Xiangfu thinks that based on this condition, it is the bottom line up.

Cai Can asked, "I don't know if the chief executive has a specific amount?"

Sun Xiangfu replied, "The specific amount will be submitted soon. If the full amount is recovered according to their confession, each of your family will have to hand over about 100 million dirty money."

"One, more than 100 million guan? Impossible, absolutely impossible to have so many..."

"That's right! The rest of my family's money is only 200 million yuan. This, the head manager can find it in the bank. This is the wealth that my family has accumulated for hundreds of years... ··”

Not only Cai Can was shocked by this number, but the rest of them were also panicked. As second- and third-rate families, they don't have the financial resources of five surnames and seven families, and they can easily start investing millions of dollars, just like Huang Xu just now. The numbers shouted out in a hurry are the same, each of them can have a cash fortune of 200 million yuan, which is considered good.

But Sun Xiangfu didn't think so. He stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet, and said, "Actually, the income your family has obtained through improper behavior in the past few years will only be more than this figure, not less. I think May I ask everyone, how much land did your family own three years ago? 30 mu, or 50 mu? How much land do you own now? 100 million mu, 200 million mu? Where did you get these fields from?

Bought with money.

The lackeys under your sect got it by corrupting the law and exploiting the common people.

There are also many other industries, such as your Cai family, the real estate they built, the furniture they bought, the caravan they invested in, and the merchant ships they bought. There are not hundreds of thousands of coins, so you can’t take it down!The children of your family spend a lot of money on reading and enjoying themselves every year! ..."

The reason why they only have 200 million in cash on their books is because they spent all the money they got. They normally rely on the balance produced by farming. They want to expand to the current scale, even in Datang Now that the market is relatively good in all aspects, it is impossible to do it without a single 200 years, because the income from farming has never been high, and when the disaster is severe, it is even damaged and posted for nothing.

Several people were once again speechless by Sun Xiangfu's words. Indeed, since they entered the Zhenguan Dynasty, their development was too rapid, but they never thought that eating too much would finally blow them up.

Spending 100 million guan to preserve the family's existing property, even though they are all the heads of the family, they are a little hesitant for a while.

However, Sun Xiangfu said again, "If you can meet the basic requirements of the court, then, next, I have a few other requirements to tell you. If you think you can do it, I can order Qianzhuang, the confinement of your family's assets has been lifted."

In fact, each family had less than 200 million guan in the bank, and Sun Xiangfu would take away more than 100 million guan at a time, which was almost half of it. Of course they didn't want to.

However, in today's society, all business transactions have to use the convenience of the bank. They do not have the ability to transfer large amounts of money, and they cannot run a business under their name at all, because other merchants all go here. If they fail to follow one path, they will completely lose their competitiveness.

Just imagine, other merchants only need to put a registered cash deposit certificate in their pockets, and they can go to Chang'an to transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars. How much will the transaction cost and time cost of the cash used in the operation be?

You know, whether it is a registered or unregistered deposit, when depositing and withdrawing money in a bank, you need to show your household registration certificate. The bank does not even need to ban their deposit and withdrawal business nationwide. It is banned in the state and county where their family lives, so they can't play with others.

Therefore, the big families who have intuitively felt the power of the financial system feel very powerless. What makes them feel powerless the most is that Sun Xiangfu actually said that there are still a few conditions behind, one of which is so unacceptable. How many conditions?Is this the rhythm that will completely break them down?
"Boss, if there is any other request from the chief executive, please tell me!"

No matter how difficult the few people are, they are doomed to fail if they fail to mobilize all family officials to attack Sun Xiangfu in Chang'an. After all, they are just a few second- and third-rate families in the land of Jingxiang in Shannan Road , once isolated, for today's Datang, there will be no waves at all.

And they are afraid that they still don't know the reason why they are isolated.

First of all, they chose the wrong target. Although Sun Zhengming came into everyone's attention in just over six years, he was already a God of Wealth in Datang.

Apart from being one with Li Shimin's confidant group, among the top aristocratic families, which one has no conflict of interest with him?Even if they were as strong as five surnames and seven families, a few years ago, they dared to yell at Sun Xiangfu, but now, they dare not even think about it.

The industry in Weinan, the industry in Beidi, the industry in Lingnan, and the overseas industry that will become a super giant in the future. Every time he drives a boat, he can make a lot of money. , the loss is huge.

If Sun Xiangfu uses the means he can use to impose commercial sanctions on a certain family or a certain place, let alone a small alliance group of a second- and third-rate family, even a large group of a first-rate family will be hurt. Even total destruction.

Agriculture, commerce, transportation, construction, every industry related to hair growth, he has quite enough voice, second only to the emperor Li Shimin, the target of their attack is anyone in the court, and it is possible to get the support of many people Support, only Sun Xiangfu alone, it is impossible to get the support of too many people, because everyone wants to board his boat.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of Cai Can and others, Sun Xiangfu knew that they were not sincerely convinced, they were individuals, and they were unwilling to spit out the wealth they had acquired, just because of the situation.

Then, Sun Xiangfu, who is in a stronger situation than others, naturally wants to take the opportunity to do more things, and said, "If you do a good job of the points I mentioned, it will not be all losses. In the long run, it will be a loss for you. It's also good for yourself.

First of all, it is the matter of building paddocks. Your family is located in fertile land along the Yangtze River, the Han River, and major lakes. However, the terrain is low-lying and prone to floods.

Therefore, you need to obey the recruitment of the newly appointed officials, as well as my overall land division arrangements in the future, and complete the local embankment project as soon as possible.

If the embankment, irrigation ditches, roads, etc. in the embankment need to occupy your fields, you are not allowed to ask the court for compensation. "

The few of them are no strangers to the embankment project that started two years ago. They even took a boat to visit Narita in person. This is almost the most ideal field in this era.

However, the built embankment is wide and high, plus the dikes, small dikes, and the berm forests along both sides of the embankment, the area occupied is really not small. Let alone the length of a mile, it is a hundred paces. The length and the overall area will exceed ten acres. If a long embankment is built on the fields of their family, the amount of lost fields may be quite a lot.

In addition, the roads and ditches in the embankments have been quite standardized on the other side of the several embankments that have been repaired. The width of the main irrigation ditch is more than ten feet, and the location of the main road and the road protection forest. The width is more than three feet, and it is generally built along the straight main irrigation ditch.

These are basically some construction standards of later generations. Tang Yizhang is about three meters, and a river ten feet wide is 30 meters. Generally, for such a wide river, the water surface will maintain a width of about 20 to [-] meters. Although This width can be pierced by a person who can swim, but it is almost enough for two-way traffic of two or three hundred stone civilian ships to transport goods.

Three feet, that is, a nine-meter-wide road, with a width of about one meter on each side, one or two rows of road protection forests, and a cement road in the middle. The width is about seven meters, which is basically the standard for two-lane roads in later generations. Of course, in this era, it is no problem to run three or two carriages side by side. The width of ordinary carriages is only about 1.5 meters, and the width of larger ones will not exceed two meters. Because of the backward infrastructure, in this era The car is not too wide, and if it is wide, it will be impossible to walk on many narrow roads.

Such a wide river and such a wide road will naturally take up a lot of space when built.

However, if they look back and think about it, it is true that as Sun Xiangfu said, after the repair is completed, it will be beneficial to them in the long run.

Let's look at the impact of this year's flood on the several paddocks that have been built.

The answer is no at all. When the flood was the largest, it only rose to a height of about two meters from the foot of the embankment. In the past, these places would have been covered by a vast ocean. This is why no one has farmed here before. Because It is difficult to guarantee a harvest.

But now!Even if the water level rises another five meters to the point where it can reach the foot of the Jingzhou city wall, it will not be as high as the small embankment in the embankment, let alone the embankment with a height of more than 15 meters. People living in the embankment don’t need to worry at all. flood problem.

Because in the history of this period, there has never been a record of a flood that can flood the city wall of Jingzhou. Even if there is, it is impossible to rise another ten meters, threatening the safety of the embankment. Possibly threatened by flooding.

As for the embankment surrounded by the embankment, after the irrigation canals are opened and the straight roads are repaired, the efficiency of cultivation and transportation will be extremely high.

Because, after each main canal is dug, the place where the water enters leads to the big river. The people living in the embankment can use boats to easily transport their own food and crops to the embankment along the river.

Most of the wharves along the river are also built at the end of the canal, that is, near the sluice. In this way, merchants who purchase grain and rice crops can also build their warehouses in the embankment near the wharf, which is convenient for receiving goods. For delivery, the transportation is convenient, and the business contacts will be convenient. This kind of road traffic, both land and water, is designed to be smooth to the extreme, which will make the local area have huge business potential.
