Chapter 61 Darkness Chencang

 Wang Anshi’s ultimate goal is reform.

This policy is just a small test. He does not attach great importance to the profits of the Municipal Taxation Department. What he cares more about is whether this low interest rate can affect the overall environment and the integration of power of the Municipal Taxation Department.

But now...

Wang Anshi found that the matter was not simple, and felt that it was necessary to pay attention to the city's tax department.

Not only him, as soon as the mortgage was issued, buying a house has become the hottest topic in Bianjing, and soon it became a phenomenon-level event.

Explode directly!

There isn’t even a buffering stage.

For several days in a row, both the Chen family and the Ma family were at full capacity. Even the Municipal Taxation Department was forced to open early. There was nothing inside except public officials who were handling the procedures. No one was there.

I don’t care about the cold and biting north wind.

Make money after all!

There are currently no developers, and it is impossible for houses to grow rapidly in response to purchase demand.

It can be seen that no one thought beforehand that it would be so popular.

This is goods worth several thousand pounds!

At the same time, many officials were involved.

This, of course, attracted great attention from the imperial court.

So some officials proposed to Song Shenzong to release some land for building houses.

Isn’t the court short of money?

Selling a house!

It’s definitely profitable!

Judging from the current transactions, there is obviously a shortage of housing.

The reason is very simple, that is, many people can afford to buy houses, and the demand exceeds the supply.

In fact, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty were indeed top-notch in terms of financial management, and they all had an overall view, because the overall environment was like this. The economic structure of the Northern Song Dynasty was very complex, and commercial taxes already exceeded agricultural taxes. If you don't understand, you won't be able to get along at all.

Enter officialdom.

This important meeting in the Northern Song Dynasty almost all discussed one topic, that is finance.

From the monarch to the ministers, there is a consensus that the economy is the top priority.

Song Shenzong was also very moved by this. At present, the land prices in Bianjing have begun to rise, and the imperial court holds a lot of land, with a deed tax of 200,000 yuan. It is unimaginable to sell the house by yourself!

So he held a small meeting to discuss the matter.

The ministers participating in the meeting were mainly prime ministers and Hanlin bachelors.

"I object."

Sima Guang was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why this situation occurs? It was because most people could not afford to buy a house in the past, so after the emergence of mortgage loans, housing transactions reached such an alarming level.

This has been accumulated over decades and will not continue like this forever.

Nowadays, most of the people buying houses are court officials, landlords and wealthy gentry, rather than ordinary citizens. If the court also builds and sells houses, it will cause housing prices to rise further. There will be no cheap houses in Bianjing, and the people will be forced to live in them.

Go out on the street, is this what your Majesty and you all want to see?"

He is most disgusted with the imperial court doing business. He believes that this is competing for profits with the people, which is more shameful than raising taxes.

Wang Anshi said: "This thing is rare and expensive, and the price is high because there are few houses. If the court builds houses, it can alleviate the price and increase the income of the court. It is the best of both worlds. Why not? Haven't you noticed that beside the Xiangguo Temple?

Has the government started building houses yet? Competing with the people for profit is a matter of two points: rich people or poor people."

His philosophy is exactly the opposite of Sima Guang. He believes that the imperial court should take the lead in development. What is the point of competing for profits with the people? Bullshit, the competition is also a competition with wealthy businessmen and landlords. Can the competition be brought to the head of the common people?

As for those profit-seeking businessmen, do they understand national construction? Of course, the court must take the lead, so that the cake can be made bigger.

Sima Guang immediately said: "I am not against the imperial court building houses, but it is necessary to build public rental houses for ordinary people to live in. If the imperial court builds courtyards for sale, then you don't have to think about it. The imperial court will never build public rental houses again. How will the people live?"
In addition, the land in Bianjing is limited, so we must be cautious and release land to a limited extent to build public rental housing, which can solve the housing problem of the people and alleviate housing prices, and will not harm the income of businessmen."

Song Shenzong was also very familiar with this pair of enemies, so he asked Tang Jie, the third minister on the side: "What do you think of Prime Minister Ji?"

The Third Division is the financial department of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Third Secretary is also called the Prime Minister. After all, this is not a formal meeting, and the title is more casual.

Tang Jie immediately said: "I think that Bachelor Sima is more reasonable. This food, clothing, housing and transportation are the daily needs of the people and should not be taken lightly. The court must treat it with caution, otherwise it will lead to catastrophe."

Immediately, many ministers stood up to support Tang Jie.

But there are also many people who support Wang Anshi's point of view. They believe that these houses will be built sooner or later. Because there is such a demand, why not build them now and why should they make it cheaper for the wealthy businessmen? It just so happens that the court is short of money now.

Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang and saw that this guy had a resolute look on his face, as if he wanted to fight him desperately. He thought to himself, last time the Municipal Taxation Department was established, Sima Guang and others did not jump out to oppose them. After all, the housing prices are not the same.

It was the core content of his reform, so there was no further dispute.

Song Shenzong could only give up first and wait and see.

......

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad!

The Ma family and the Chen family are enjoying great prosperity these days, but the Fan family bookstore has failed in this house buying boom.

The eight tea cannibals actually have a division of labor. Although it is not very clear, everyone has a tacit understanding. For example, Li Guozhong specializes in handling bulk cargo disputes, contracts, etc.

The Fan family is involved in house transactions and some pawn shops.

Now that the real estate market is so hot, there are more contracts and disputes.

Originally, the Fan family should have made a fortune, but at least their business was booming.

The result was that there was only a handful of people available.

Even more deserted than usual.

After the Ma family suddenly abandoned the Fan family, many wealthy businessmen thought there must be a reason, and they also turned to other families.

Fan Li felt that this was not possible, so he immediately went to the leader of the group, Li Guozhong, to express his grievances.

You didn't have a tacit understanding and took all my guests away.

But how could Li Guozhong and the others be willing to spit out the meat that was in their mouths? They tactfully expressed that they did not steal his business, they were the ones who came to the door, so they couldn't turn them away.

Fan family.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! Usually when something happens, I, Fan Li, am the first to support the Li family, but now you tell me that the guest's choice has nothing to do with them. They are really bullying others."

When Fan Li returned home, he couldn't help but became furious and smashed the teapot and teacups all over the floor.

The old man in his family said: "Master, they are so bullying, why don't we ask Chen Yuanwailang to uphold justice."

Fan Li said: "Why would Chen Yuanwailang care about this matter?"

The old man said: "My master has forgotten that not long ago, Chen Yuanwailang was asked to deal with Zhang San, and our bookstore also made a lot of efforts."

Fan Li nodded slightly, then added: "But it was Li Guozhong who contributed the most at that time."

Just then, a servant came into the hall and said, "Master, someone just stuffed a note."

After saying that, he handed over the note.

Fan Li took it and took a look, "It's him."

......

Early the next morning, Fan Li took a sedan to the pier and saw a boat parked there. He first looked around and then got on the boat.

After he got on the boat, the boat sailed away from the pier.

"Why did you invite me here?"

Fan Li looked at the young man in front of him and asked.

This young man is none other than Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I know Yuanwai has encountered some difficulties recently, maybe I can help Yuanwai share his worries."

Fan Li gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that this disaster for our Fan family will be all at your hands."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why did the member say that?"

Fan Lidao: "You came to my door as soon as something happened here, and after you cooperated with Ma Tianhao, he immediately alienated my Fan family. Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you?"

When he saw Zhang Fei's note, he immediately wanted to understand everything.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Is this important?"

Fan Li sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Now that the court prohibits you from going to court to defend yourself, you just want to use my bookstore to break through the court's restrictions. You can't succeed."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "There is no enmity between us. I would rather lose both sides with me than cooperate with each other for a win-win situation."

Fan Li said: "You are deliberately trying to deal with me, why should I cooperate with you?"

Zhang Feili was amused, "Didn't a member of the Communist Party of China deal with me first?"

Without the support of the Eight Great Tea Eaters, it would have been difficult for Wang Wenshan to succeed!

Fan Li said coldly: "Since we have deep grudges, what else is there to talk about?"

Zhang Fei said: "If Yuan Wai cooperates with me, then I can make Yuan Wai the leader of the line."

Fan Li frowned slightly and said nothing.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You should know that I have business dealings with all the wealthy businessmen in Bianjing. If I join your bookstore, then these all belong to the bookstore. How many benefits there are, Yuanwai should be better than me.

More clearly."

Fan Li said: "Are you so kind?"

Zhang Fei chuckled: "If I get your bookstore, I can make more."

Fan Li asked: "Do you want to buy my bookstore?"

Zhang Fei said: "Are you willing?"

"Of course not."

"That's it." Zhang Fei said: "I hope to join your bookstore and form a cooperative relationship with Yuanwai, but there is one thing. In name, Yuanwai makes the decision, but in fact I want to gain control of the bookstore."

"This is impossible."

Fan Li immediately refused, "Don't even think about it."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "When a member opens a bookstore, what he wants is not to be a general or a minister. It is nothing more than status and money. Once I join your bookstore, I can get both."

Fan Lidao: "But you will also cause countless troubles."

Zhang Fei said: "Now that I am in trouble, I am making a lot of money, and I have the support of Academician Wang. I will give you this trouble, do you want it?"

Yes! The last time I was so cruel, I didn't kill him. Instead, I made him turn over and caused me heavy losses. I really don't know what those officials were doing. Fan Li struggled a little and said: "I can let him

You join our bookstore, but I have the final say."

Zhang Fei smiled.

Fan Li frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Fei said: "The final say is not based on words, but on ability. Can you have the final say in front of Fan Yuanwai and others? If you can't do it, then who has the final say?

Rather than being suppressed by me in the future, it is better to let him go as soon as possible, with clear priorities, and there will be no estrangement between us, so that we can cooperate and win-win."

After saying that, without waiting for Fan Li to nod, he took out a contract and put it on the table, "After signing this contract, as the second head of the family, you can look down on Li Guozhong and others, but you are subordinate to me. This is terrible.

It’s not a shameful thing, and who wouldn’t be in this industry in the future?”
