    After all, farmers are relatively poor, and squeezing juice from them is still not enough to meet the huge financial expenditure. Moreover, farmers are the foundation of the country. If they are pushed into a hurry, it may turn into a large-scale popular uprising, or force good people to become bandits. In that case, the gain outweighs the loss.  .

    "Fengtian coupons" are a good thing, but after the first few issuances were forced to subscribe, the public who had not seen any benefits became far away from this thing - it was said that it would be redeemed with interest after ten years, but ten years later  How long is a year? The warlords of the Republic of China changed quickly. Who knows whether the government will still be there by then?  Besides, the government¡¯s credibility seems to be insufficient if it is always forced, doesn¡¯t it?

    Is there a tax source that is long-lasting, that the people have to pay, and that the government benefits greatly?  The answer is yes.  Based on his experience in time travel, Zhang Hanqing naturally thought of property tax.  Think about the development of real estate in China at the time. It was a cruel thing: Seeing the housing prices soaring, buyers still queued up all night and had to go through the back door. They had no money and would rather borrow a loan. They couldn't wait to get even a copper from their relatives and eight aunts, so they borrowed money.  I don¡¯t hesitate to eat chaffy vegetables to live my life.  If this power is forced out, why worry about not having money?

    How to do it?  Could it be that the government is also speculating in the real estate business?  As soon as this thought lingered in my mind, I immediately threw it away.

    How can you do this?  How can the government be so short-sighted on issues related to the well-being of all citizens?  The government is not a developer. It just makes a fortune and runs away. It also has to think about the rest of the people's lives!  Housing prices are piling up higher and higher, enriching businessmen and hurting those in need.  In the end, the collusion between government and businessmen caused housing prices to rise like a rocket, and the national regulations were like adding fuel to the fire.  Think about the time when I had to go bankrupt to pay the down payment just to get a wedding house. The family that had just enjoyed the fruits of reform and opening up could instantly return to before liberation, except for having a covered house.  This kind of thing cannot be done.

    It seems that the government launched a property tax pilot just before time travel, but the effect was not obvious.  However, the U.S. tax system places great restrictions on real estate speculators, so very few Americans make a fortune doing this. Why?  It just makes you feel that there is no benefit in the short term.  Because people have a way: from transaction to move-in, you have to pay taxes, so the holding cost is very high.  It means selling in the future, because it is just needed and it is difficult to predict a big rise, so we are very cautious.

    To make a sum of money from real estate without killing the goose that lays eggs or controlling huge profits from transactions, proper taxation is required, provided that housing transactions are transparent.

    But from ancient times to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no housing authority or housing book in China.  When ancient people bought and sold second-hand houses, the main proof of property rights was the house deed. People did not transfer ownership in real estate transactions, but simply handed over the house deed and that was it.  What is a property deed?  It is nothing more than a purchase contract, with the name of the original owner written on the contract.  If you want to transfer the property, you can only transfer the property deed: the buyer and the seller sign a new property deed, then go to the government office to pay the deed tax, have the county magistrate stamp a red stamp on the property deed, and then tear off the stub part of the property deed and leave it in the county government office as a  Just file it.

    If you want to transfer the property deed, you must pay deed tax. This rule lasted from the Northern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The deed tax rate has been changing, with a minimum of 2% (when Song Renzong ascended the throne) and a maximum of 9% (when Kangxi pacified the Three Feuds).  Coupled with various additional taxes, it can account for up to 16% of the purchase price.  In other words, if you buy a house for 1 million, you may have to spend 160,000 yuan just to transfer it!

    In order to save this money, ancient people often did not transfer ownership when buying a house.  For example, Xiao Ming sold the house to Xiao Qiang this year, Xiao Qiang sold the house to Xiao Hong twenty years later, and Xiao Hong sold the house to Xiao Fang thirty years later, and so on.  Half a century later, if you look at the name of the owner on the property deed, it is still Xiao Ming who has long since passed away!

    If the real estate transaction is not settled, it will be very troublesome to encounter a house purchase dispute. If Xiao Ming's descendants are aggressive and ask Xiao Fang for a house, Xiao Fang will not be able to produce any evidence.  Therefore, from the Northern Song Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, successive governments have been persuading home buyers to transfer property. This can reduce disputes and increase the government's deed tax revenue.

    The problem is that transferring ownership is not necessarily safe.  The ancient government did not have computers, and the file management was extremely chaotic. The county magistrate could be replaced every two or three years. If the new county magistrate was a fool, it was very likely that the house buyer would keep the house deed stub for record (Qing Dynasty)  Called "the end of the contract") was lost.  The stub was lost, and the unscrupulous descendants of the new owner lost the deed. From now on, there is no proof. Who do you think the house belongs to?  Whoever has the strongest fist belongs to him!  Browsing through "The Qingming Collection of Ming Gong's Letters" and then "Three Words and Two Pats", real estate disputes are everywhere, and the history is endless, which makes parents' heads as big as a fight. The key reasons are chaotic transactions and property rights.  Unknown, the reason is that file management is too backward.

    Until the Republic of China, the founding father Sun Yat-sen called for real estate registration in order to clarify property rights and reduce disputes.  Municipal governments in various places have responded to Mr. Sun¡¯sHe is well versed in making cars, and he is adept at all kinds of tax evasion and leak-stopping methods, which puts even old officials to shame.  The Young Marshal's plan, in the future, as the Fengcheng system develops, this system must be carried out unremittingly, and those who hear it feel a chill again.

    All this may seem overbearing and unkind, but in fact, it contains the experience and hard work of Zhang Hanqing¡¯s countless thoughts in his previous life.  In an era when real estate is tied to everything, in an era when listed companies make less than a house in a year, in an era when a family can't save a down payment after working hard all their life, real estate in the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is worth half of the GDP of the United States.  In that era, people of that era could deeply understand the long-term thinking of the young commander.

    Houses are for living in, not for speculation None of the great countries that have risen in history were born because of high housing prices.  When everyone gets involved in real estate instead of industry, when real estate capital hijacks the national economy, and when the richest people on the wealth list all started their careers in real estate, it is a tragedy for the country.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
