Chapter 207 Infrastructure Crazy Demon (Leader
The contract signed between Kunshan County and Kunkaisi stipulated that the county rented 100,000 mu of wasteland on both sides of Yanglintang to Kunkaisi for 99 years.
But only in the first twenty years, rent-free, and it is not tax-free. From the 21st year, rent-free and tax-free will be paid like normal official land.
ps.Thank you for the new leader ‘1 read book 1 when you have time’. Thank you for your support, please give me a monthly ticket!!!
In this way, the tax revenue in the county will not only not decrease, but will increase significantly. Because as the name suggests, abandoned fields are abandoned by the people and become ownerless fields, and naturally there will be no tax revenue.
The extra 100,000 acres of land can add 30,000 stones of taxes to the county in just one season of autumn grain.
And starting from the 21st year, the county has been able to collect another 30,000 to 40,000 shi of rent. This is equivalent to adding 100,000 acres of official land in the county!
In fact, there is no need to wait until twenty-one years - because Kunshan County still has one-quarter of Kunkaisi's shares, as long as Kunkaisi starts to make profits, the county can make money.
What satisfied Lin Zhongcheng the most was that these places were still belonging to the county and were not divided up by the gentry.
Haven't you seen hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in Wujiang County, but none of them fell into the hands of the government, and all of them were divided up by the gentry and wealthy families.
It’s really a matter of death, but a matter of goods you have to throw away!
Lin Run looked at it and praised it and praised it again and again, and asked someone to copy the contract and go back to study it and see if it can be promoted in various counties.
Then he bowed deeply to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "If you become the prime minister in the future, there will be hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty."
"Oh, the Chief Executive is praised." Zhao Shouzheng was startled and waved his hand quickly, "The Xiaguan is just a small magistrate. He did something trivial, and it's no big deal."
"No." Lin Run shook his head flatly and said, "You have pointed out an unprecedented new path for our court and the court - it turns out that you can do big things even if you don't have money!"
If Zhao Hao could hear these words, he would definitely give Lin Zhongcheng a thumbs up. He was so keen that he could almost immediately find the secrets of land finance.
This made many officials four hundred years later even more suspicious.
~~
After he was so proud that Zhao Shouzheng was fainted, Lin Zhongcheng asked with a smile:
“How long is this embankment?”
"After returning to Zhongcheng, cut the bend and straighten it, it will be 58 miles."
"That one mile is less than 20,000 taels?" Lin Run was shocked. "The stone pond he built is worth 30,000 taels per mile."
"They have a long time, so the artificiality is high." Mr. Zhao replied according to the script, thinking that it was actually less than ten thousand taels per mile.
"Well, it makes sense. It saves trouble and effort and money. This cement is really a good thing?" Lin Runyouran said in a fascination: "So where can I buy it?"
This is his main idea.
No matter whether you are a prefect or a governor, you can't resist the temptation of cement, meow...
"All cement and stone were purchased from Jiangnan Building Materials Company." Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly replied.
"Jiangnan Building Materials Company..." Lin Run coughed dryly, "Didn't it mean that cement belongs to Jiangnan Company? What's the relationship between these two companies?"
"It's probably a father-son relationship."
"Then it's still the same thing." Lin Run looked at Jiang with her hands behind her back and asked, "What's the origin of this Jiangnan Company?"
"It was a group of gentry and business names from Jiangnan." Zhao Shouzheng replied honestly: "As the inventor of cement, the child also owns a little stake in it. Without him, the subordinates would not be able to connect with the Jiangnan Company."
"Oh? The son-in-law also has shares?" Lin Run asked with interest as if he had heard of it for the first time: "Is it convenient to disclose how much is it?"
This is not good for officials who are born in the censor. They like to dig into the bottom of everything, which makes people unbearable.
"Two percent." Zhao Shouzheng replied with certainty.
This is by no means a lie. Even if Lin Run ordered the transfer of the equity files of Jiangnan Company, he could only see the same result.
Because Zhao Hao had been prepared for a long time, he evacuated his equity in advance.
He first introduced several strategic shareholders and diluted Jiangnan Company from a one-person company to a joint-stock company.
Then, based on the agreement of "same shares and different rights", the salt merchant was introduced as a financial investor and took over 20% of his shares, successfully reducing his equity to less than 50%.
Then, through the exchange of shares with Wu Ji, while acquiring Wu Ji, he further reduced his shareholding ratio in Jiangnan Company to a little more than one-third, that is, 36%.
But his voting rights in Jiangnan Company expanded to 74%, nearly three-quarters, with absolute control over the company.
This is not enough. Zhao Hao recently became a "singularity holding" to hold 34% of the shares of Jiangnan Company under his name. In this way, his personal holdings dropped to an insignificant two percent on the shareholder list, becoming the smallest shareholder in the company.
Although Mr. Zhao is not hidden enough at present, it is enough to make everyone feel comfortable.
At least he wouldn't be treated as a crazy swelling little monster, that's enough.
Sure enough, even though Lin Zhongcheng was as smart as he heard that Zhao Hao only owned two percent of the shares, he still raised his mind for him:
"The son-in-law is still too young. I'm afraid he was bullied by those old foxes. He invented a magical artifact such as cement, which would be reasonable to occupy at least one to two hundred percent of the shares."
"The Jiangnan company is big, and two percent is also very good, enough for me to spend time." Zhao Shouzheng said with a materialistic expression.
"Okay, you can't show your ambitions if you have to be indifferent." Lin Zhongcheng praised Mr. Zhao again, and then pointed to Kunnan Road, which had already receded:
"This year's flood situation has passed. What should Kunshan do next?"
Zhao Shouzheng replied: "There will be three phases of water conservancy projects next."
"There are still phase three projects?" Lin Run couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think you are addicted to repairing dikes."
"In the past few years, Kunshan has lost too many neighboring counties, and there are many classes to make up for." Zhao Shouzheng said in a deep voice: "Although Kunbei has been renovated, Kunnan is still the same. Therefore, the goal of the third phase project is to keep Kunnan away from floods for a long time!"
"This is a big project." Lin Run waved his hand, and Changsui quickly presented the map of Kunshan.
Zhao Shouzheng drew a line on the map with his fingers: "First, it is the south embankment of Wusong River, then the dike of Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake, and the river embankment of the southern brigade Pu River, which is about 120 miles away."
"Hiss, it's a full 180 miles." With the first two phases of the project there, Lin Run naturally did not doubt that Zhao Shouzheng could do what he said.
But this terrifying construction ability is really hard to bear.
It can be called an "infrastructure madman".
"Yes. Phase III is a big project." Zhao Shouzheng replied seriously: "The county also feels very difficult. In addition, Kunnan also needs to carry out large-scale epidemic prevention and repair, and it may not be completed before the New Year. We must not take a holiday in the first month, right? I am afraid that it will be in February. Well, then the arrangements for next year will be disrupted..."
Governor Lin heard a shady thread.
Damn it is a 180-mile embankment that others can’t finish in ten years, but are you still afraid that you won’t be able to deal with it before the New Year?
Do you know it only three months after the Chinese New Year?
Do you want to live in another county?
Chapter completed!
