The day after eating mutton, Lin Wanwan took Kunlun to Xiaoxi Town to go to the county government office to see Xiao Chong for business.
After the Wang family was punished in the first month of the year, the culprit was killed in the autumn, and the female family members sold their houses and fields to collect fines and ransoms.
Lin Wanwan is short of land. Although she is from the fifth rank of the township and can live in a town of 300 households, this is only a virtual grant, not a real one. In other words, she can get the tax money of 300 households every year, but there is no corresponding payment at all.
The land and residents, converted into food, are about one hundred dan, and the amount will be reduced in years of famine and disaster.
Therefore, she bought thirty acres of land from the Wang family through the operation of the Shi family. The Wang family refused to sell it to Lin Wanwan and hated the house.
Afterwards, the field surveying and spring plowing were not delayed at all, but the time for obtaining the land deed was delayed for a long time, and it was transferred through the historian, which added a lot of taxes and fees.
The Wang family's 100 acres of farmland are now sold for basically 7,788, and all of it has been divided up by the big families in Luan County.
Lin Wanwan now has a total of fifty acres of land, including the Yongye field allocated to her, and the ten acres of land allocated to her, for a total of sixty acres.
According to Datang's normal yield, these sixty acres of land are really nothing, but Lin Wanwan has chemical fertilizers and high-yielding seeds at hand, so the energy of these fields is huge!
Thirty acres of cotton alone have been planted, as well as sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, hybrid rice, etc. Lin Wanwan's harvest this year will not be small.
In early May, the busy farming season is not over yet, but for Lin Wanwan, who only needs to coordinate and direct, it is no longer so busy. After all, everything that needs to be planted has been planted, and the dealers have to worry about the rest.
When she came to Xiaoxi Town today, in addition to the land deed matters, she also had to deal with the purchase of a shop and a house.
Now that there is so much money, one can buy all the courtyard houses and shops in the town.
Although the real estate industry in the Tang Dynasty was not as developed as that of later generations, it was quite formal. And the laws stipulated that no matter what kind of person you were, you could only live in houses and fields that matched your status (of course Emperor Tiangao of Luan County
Far away, they did not strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty).
Lin Wanwan is now a fifth-grade township monarch and a member of the aristocratic bureaucratic group. It is normal to buy a house in Xiaoxi Town, where the county seat is located. It would be strange not to buy it.
After receiving the title of Township Lord this year, Lin Wanwan resumed contact with the five in-laws of the Lin family, including the Luang County historian, Zhang family, Wang family, Fan family, and Fang family. The information they provided was used as a reference for the purchase of the house.
Buying a house or land in the towns of Datang is not just about having money, because Datang issued the first "purchase restriction order" in history.
"Tang Huiyao" stipulates that "all counties in the world have land, houses and property, and they should be bought and sold first by their relatives and neighbors."
What does this mean? It means that if you want to buy land or real estate, you must first ask your relatives and neighbors if you want to buy it, and then you can trade it on the market.
This was a law enacted in the early Tang Dynasty to facilitate the management of subjects, maintain the order of social clans, and prevent people from migrating at will.
The Tang Dynasty was not like later generations, where you could move around at will with just an ID card. The government strictly controlled population movement, especially for civilians, and wanted to tie people to the same place for generations.
The children and grandchildren of those who should be farming should honestly farm on their own land, and the children and grandchildren of those who should be fishing should live by the water and fish.
The courtyard house that Lin Wanwan bought was sold by the Zhang family's neighbors, the Yu family. The Yu family wanted to move back to their hometown in Yuyao, so they sold the house.
The Zhang family helped Lin Wanwan move around the neighboring houses. Everyone gave up their right to purchase, and it was Lin Wanwan's turn.
This house has a total of thirty-nine rooms, covers an area of 2.9 acres, and is priced at 200 yuan and a bolt of silk.
Although the price may seem inexpensive, in fact the difficulty in buying this house is not about money, but about status and social connections.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty with strict hierarchies. In the early days, housing prices were not very high. The threshold was mainly based on status. In the Tang Xuanzong period, especially after the Anshi Rebellion, hierarchies were not so strict (mainly because the status of businessmen had soared), and housing prices
So he got fired.
By the late Tang Dynasty, in addition to the one-time purchase price, houses in cities and towns even had to pay an annual property tax, called the "interval tax."
For example, the house bought by Lin Wanwan is generally defined as a middle house, and each house has to pay a tax of 1,000 yuan per year.
There are thirty-nine rooms in this house, which means that the annual payment is thirty-nine thousand, which is not a small amount.
It’s equivalent to buying a house for 200 guan and paying 39 guan in real estate tax every year!
Of course, this kind of tax that tortures living people cannot last forever, so it was abolished in less than a year.
Although there was no intermittent tax in the early Tang Dynasty, local officials would still levy some miscellaneous taxes based on the local economic level when purchasing a house.
It’s no wonder that Du Fu couldn’t afford a house and fantasized about “thousands of houses in a vast house, which would make all the poor people in the world happy.” Han Yu, the minister of official affairs, said, “When I came to the capital, I only brought a bunch of books. After thirty years of hard work,
To have this house."
It is so difficult to buy a house in Luang County, a distant county where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Naturally, it is even more difficult to live in Chang'an.
Lin Wanwan almost wanted to regret not buying it. She bought this yard mainly for the convenience of purchasing modern supplies and because people would not live there for a long time.
But then I thought again, forget it, we have countless peppers and glass, we are extremely rich in the Tang Dynasty, and real estate and miscellaneous taxes are nothing. If I exchange it for twenty-one pounds of pepper, I don’t have to worry at all!
!!
Besides, renting a house costs 24,000 yuan a year, and you don’t even own the house.
After paying the tax and holding the tax receipt, Lin Wanwan felt unhappy looking at Xiao Chong's handsome face. She always felt that this guy was laughing at her.
"Hmph!" Before leaving, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but snorted loudly.
Xiao Chong raised his pretty eyebrows and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my cousin on your happy move into the house. I am sure to have a drink on my moving day."
"Haha." Lin Wanwan curled her lips, turned around and left.
Xiao Chong looked at her back and smiled.
If you buy a house, you will take a big hit in real estate taxes, and if you buy a shop, you will have to pay a knife. It is true that people are fighting for their own good, and there is nothing you can do about it!
However, Lin Wanwan was not so resentful when paying taxes for a shop that could produce money. After all, selling some cosmetics imported from modern times in it would be enough to harvest the small money of all the upper-class ladies in Luan County.
These gouache shops are high-end and sophisticated. Lin Wanwan plans to have all the furniture inside made of rosewood (the name of huanghuali wood in the Tang Dynasty), and it will also be equipped with three beauty rooms.
Naturally, the employees inside need to be bought at Yahang, and they all buy Silla maids and Kunlun slaves, the former is responsible for service, and the latter is responsible for security. Although the price of buying them is more expensive than buying Tang slaves, Lin Wanwan does not care, enslaving foreigners like her
It's not that heavy of a psychological burden.
In addition to the security guards and waiters, the most important shopkeeper, Lin Wanwan, was introduced by Xiao Chong. He also called Lin Mengli out of the restaurant in Wanghai Town and asked him to follow the shopkeeper's lead.
After Lin Wanwan opened the school, Lin Mengli came to learn arithmetic when he had free time. During the renovation of the shop, Lin Wanwan also planned to supplement Lin Mengli's debit and credit accounting methods, and asked him to keep another account book to supervise the shopkeeper.
