Chapter 625 soaring house prices

In mid-August, shops in the South District of Baizhifang opened one after another, with the protection of the Baizhifang Chamber of Commerce. These foreign merchants were able to get involved in the industries monopolized by the Xunqi family in Beijing. Due to the previous monopoly behavior of the Xunzhi, the prices of goods or services in some industries were high, and the intervention of foreign merchants brought The relatively low price became prosperous soon after the opening.

Taking advantage of the opening of the southern district, Songfu increased its publicity, and Zhu Fengtong even sent many groups of people to other state governments to attract investment contacts. Before the shops in the second district of Baizhifang were completed, they showed a hot trend of sales. With the implementation of the property purchase policy, the price of shops and houses in major states has risen and more than doubled, but it still can't stop the desire of rich people to buy shops and houses in the capital and major state governments.

Today, like the people of future generations, buying a house and buying land has a so-called psychology of buying up but not buying down. The more the price soars, the more these people want to buy. Song Nan knows this trend very well. He is happy to see this situation. In a few months, the project of Baizhifang is about to be completely completed. At that time, Song Nan will instruct the Inner Court Real Estate Department to take measures to calm down house prices. There are many ways, but it is not the time to wait until he earns enough money.

The court also had some comments on the soaring housing prices. Several officials of the household department jointly put forward a proposal, thinking that the current pattern of soaring housing prices is abnormal. They are worried that if this development, it will lead to rich people to hoard shops and houses to raise prices, and the people will be deprived of property and houses, and they will not be able to afford real estate at all. .

To be honest, the experience of the ministers in these areas is almost zero. These are new things. They have never encountered such a crazy housing market. However, one thing they see is that the household property tax house set up at the beginning of this year has become one of the busiest departments. In just half a year, they have received more than 3 million taels. Fiscal taxation, according to this development, this year, real estate tax alone will account for 20,000 of the fiscal tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

Unsurprisingly, the fiscal and tax revenue of the whole Ming Dynasty this year will exceed 24 million taels. Compared with last year, the extra 6 million taels is the tax brought by real estate.

Therefore, officials are in a dilemma with the questions raised by the Ministry of Household. On the one hand, they are worried about the disastrous consequences of such a soaring property price, and on the other hand, they are reluctant to increase this large amount of money every year. If the growth continues in this way, the court will soon get rid of the situation of being overstretched, and several important projects planned by the court a long time ago will also be implemented with money. Officials are suffering in this happy but anxious state.

In an early morning in September, in response to more and more discussions on this matter, the court decided to come to a public court to discuss the pros and cons of this matter.

In fact, it is said that the court discussion, and most people did not give any opinions at all. After a lot of nonsense, the court discussion became Song Nan's answer to reporters' questions, because the only person in the court who is familiar with this matter is Song Nan. This is a new thing he led, and I'm afraid only he knows what dangers are hidden in it.

Song Nan was very calm. He did not think that these people's behavior was ridiculous. On the contrary, he thought that feeling the danger was just a sign that some officials were competent. Although they did not know what the danger was, they knew that things were not as simple as they appeared. What Song Nan has to do is to stabilize the situation. After the completion of sales in the North District after the Spring Festival, she will make a big move to pour cold water on the overheated real estate market of the Ming Dynasty and make them calm down.

"Lord Song, everyone thinks that this store's real estate is so popular, and there are hidden worries hidden in it. What does Lord Song think of this?" Yang Tin and became the chief reporter. Although he became more and more reluctant to talk to Song Nan and more despise Song Nan's behavior of making money for private business, he had to ask Song Nan for advice on this matter.

Everyone has long wanted to hear Song Nan, the initiator, explain, and now they all look at it.

"Your worries are not superfluous, but you don't have to worry about the sky." Song Nan said lightly: "The price has soared because of the huge demand. Previously, people had the need to buy real estate and shops in Dazhou government to do business, but the court policy limited their behavior and made them afraid to use money. Now, once it is released, this hot trend is inevitable. For example, if all dynasties are monogamous and not allowed to take concubines, and suddenly one day a man is allowed to have three wives and four concubines, isn't there a groom everywhere? Not surprisingly."

Someone laughed out loud, and Song Nan's metaphor is also vivid, but what about the emperor of that era that only allowed men to be monogamous? Isn't this destroying human nature?

"What Lord Song said, there is no need to make a fuss about this matter? But why does the court feel that it is inappropriate? The price of shops and houses has doubled, which is no longer affordable for ordinary people. If it continues to rise, will no one be able to afford to buy a house and a new house in the future? An official asked in a low voice.

Song Nan said, "The extreme will be reversed. Any excessive behavior hides risks. If the house price doubles, I won't worry. But if it doubles three or five times or even ten times, it is an inflated price. No one can afford it, which is called price and no market. The current situation is still within the normal range, and the Inner Court Real Estate Department should also pay close attention to the movement. There is no need to worry too much about this.

"Lord Song, you keep saying that there is no need to worry, is it because you are also involved in it? I have heard that you have made a lot of money by developing real estate in Baizhifang. I heard that you have to earn millions of taels of silver after the development of the whole Baizhifang, that's why you say so. In fact, you can't wait for the higher the house price, the better, so that you can make a lot of money?

He Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Household, finally couldn't help saying what the officials had always wanted to say, which immediately attracted many people to nod and agree. A large group of people began to whisper and buzz.

Song Nan said coldly, "Your Excellency, I knew you would think so. I want to remind you that the tax revenue of the court has increased by millions of taels of silver in recent months, which is a matter for the court to benefit the court; how much I personally got from it is another matter, but don't forget what you said when I bought the abandoned wasteland of the white paper workshop; you laughed at me behind my back as a fool. One by one, they sat and watched Song Nan make a joke. Now that I have made money, you have changed your face and run to talk about it. Are you like this?

He Jian said coldly, "Lord Song, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to talk like this. Because the difference between the front and back is too big, I will suspect that Lord Song is taking advantage of loopholes to make money. How can I know that all this is not Lord Song's layout?"

Song Nan sneered and said, "Lord He's mind is deeper than me, and I also think of my layout. If so, my layout will be too big. I still remember that when I tried to collect hundreds of thousands of silver to buy the official land of the white paper square, I was in a deadlock. At that time, Yang Shoufu and He Shangshu repeatedly urged me to pay money to buy those official land. They kept urging them and saying that they would not terminate Yunyun by making an agreement with the court. It seemed that I had to sell my sons and daughters. I have to buy the abandoned official land of the white paper workshop. Why didn't Lord He say that I was the layout at that time? If it is the layout, why did Lord He force me to buy land? At the beginning, I almost gave up the idea of buying land to develop and transform the white paper workshop. If I had made money, it would have to rely on the help of Yang Shoufu and Lord He. If it hadn't been forced by the two adults, I might not have been able to earn these millions of silver.

He Jian blushed and groaned angrily. At the beginning, he really forced Song Nan to hand over the silver to buy land, and also said a lot of righteous words. This time, it was exposed by Song Nan, which was a slap in the face.

Yang Tinghe stared at He Jian and blamed him for pulling himself in. In the eyes of the ministers, isn't he also a visionless person? I didn't expect the current situation at all.

Zhengde said, "Guys, the court is talking about the risk of high real estate prices and the market being overheated. How can we talk about other things? Song Nan was also at risk at the beginning. Why didn't you think that Song Nan could turn the white paper workshop upside down? I remember that after Song Nan bought hundreds of thousands of silver, there were a lot of sneer among you, and now you are jealous of others. I really don't know what you think.

The officials who laughed at Song Nan at the beginning were very embarrassed and regretted at the same time. How could they have expected such a situation? The dilapidated white paper shop has now become a treasure basin. Although Song Nan is hateful, he is really good at it.

"One thing I need to reiterate is that shop real estate is not developed for ordinary people. Our purpose is to let the rich people of the Ming Dynasty take out the money hidden in the secret room to buy the industry and participate in circulation. As long as the silver circulates, it will bring taxes to the court, which is the original intention. At the beginning, you agreed to this method also for this point. Now the large increase in tax revenue proves that this decision is correct, and what we need to do in the future is to do a good job of regulation and regulation. This matter has its own internal real estate management department to make countermeasures. When the court issued a decree to calm down and under what circumstances it is necessary to cool down this overheated market, there will naturally be a way to deal with it. Song Nan said quietly.

"Can't Lord Song say it in court to make the emperor and the adults feel at ease? What are you going to do? It seems that this is your private matter, which is really inexplicable.

The sound of the urn is easy to identify. That is Xu Guangzuo, the governor of the regiment camp.

A group of marquises stood beside him and staring at Song Nan. Since Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu openly left the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to join Song Nan's White Paper Chamber of Commerce, the marquis went to see Song Nan in this way every day.

Song Nan said lightly, "No, I have a way, and I will also report them to the emperor in private, but these methods must not be made public in advance to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes in advance. I don't avoid anything. Let's take you, Eunuch Xu. I know that you privately bought seven or eight houses in Nanxunfang, Mingshifang, Zhengdongfang and other places. I don't want to name why you suddenly buy so many houses, but since you are involved in it, I can't tell you the court's policies in this regard in advance. The reason why I I don't want to say more."

Xu Guangzuo was stunned and said coldly, "Soong Nan, don't talk nonsense."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Do you want me to get the evidence?" Unless I don't want to know about the big and small affairs of the capital, how can I escape my eyes? How many people in this court secretly participated in hoarding and speculation on real estate sales? There is an account in the iron cabinet of Fusi in the north and south of our town. Some people worry that the overheating of real estate is true, but some people are superficial. I know better than anyone else.

Half of the officials' faces were earthy, and Song Nan's words seemed to have striped their clothes, making them suddenly feel ashamed.
