Chapter 697 Infrastructure Maniac (Additional Updates from Alliance Leader)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The contract between Kunshan County and Kunkaisi stipulated that the county would lease 100,000 acres of abandoned farmland on both sides of Yanglintang to Kunkaisi for ninety-nine years.

    But only the first twenty years are rent-free, and they are not tax-free.  From the 21st year onwards, you have to pay rent and taxes like a normal official land.

    ps. Thank you to the new leader for ¡®Read book 1 when you have time¡¯. Thank you for your support. Please vote for me!  !  !  !

    ¡°In this way, instead of reducing the county¡¯s tax revenue, it will increase significantly.  Because as the name suggests, deserted fields are ownerless fields that have been abandoned by the people and become wasteland. Naturally, no taxes will be generated.

    This extra 100,000 acres of land can generate an additional 30,000 dan in tax revenue for the county just for the autumn grain harvest.

    And starting from the twenty-first year, the county was able to collect an additional thirty to forty thousand dan in rent.  This is equivalent to adding 100,000 acres of official land to the county!

    In fact, there is no need to wait until twenty-one years - because Kunshan County still owns a quarter of Kunkaisi's shares, and as long as Kunkaisi starts to make a profit, the county will make money.

    What makes Lin Zhongcheng most satisfied is that these lands still belong to the county and have not been divided up by the gentry.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in Wujiang County, not a single acre fell into the hands of the government, all of it was divided up by the big gentry.

    It¡¯s really hard to compare people to death, and you have to throw away goods when comparing goods!

    Lin Run read it again and again, liked it again and again, and even asked someone to copy the contract. He wanted to go back and study it again to see if it could be promoted in various counties.

    ? Then he bowed deeply to Zhao Shouzheng and said: "If you become the prime minister and assistant in the future, there is hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty."

    "Oh, Zhongcheng is so complimentary." Zhao Shouzheng was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "Xiaguan is just a small county magistrate. He did something trivial, it's not a big deal."

    "No." Lin Run shook his head decisively and said: "Your exploration in Kunshan has pointed out an unprecedented new path for this court and the court - it turns out that you can do great 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 sharp that he almost figured out the secrets of land finance right away.

    This has left many officials four hundred years later unable to catch up.

    ??~~

    After Zhao Shouzheng was so praised that he fainted, Lin Zhongcheng asked with a smile:

    "How long is this embankment?"

    "Go back to Zhongcheng, cut the bends and straighten them, and count fifty-eight miles."

    "That's less than 20,000 taels per mile?" Lin Run was surprised.  "The stone pond built by others costs thirty thousand taels per mile."

    "They have a long time, and the labor is high." Mr. Zhao replied according to the script, but he said that it was actually less than one mile and ten thousand taels.

    "Well, that makes sense. It saves trouble, effort and money. Is this cement really a good thing?" Lin Run said leisurely and fascinated: "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 materials are purchased from Jiangnan Building Materials Company." Zhao Shouzheng replied hurriedly.

    "Jiangnan Building Materials Company" Lin Run coughed and said, "Didn't you say that the cement is owned by Jiangnan Company? What is the relationship between the two companies?"

    "It's probably a father-son relationship."

    "Then it's still the same thing." Lin Run looked towards the river with his hands behind his back and asked, "What is the origin of this Jiangnan Company?"

    "It was formed by a group of gentry and businessmen from Jiangnan." Zhao Shouzheng answered honestly: "As the inventor of cement, Xiao'er also holds a small share in it. Without his matchmaking, I would not be able to connect with Jiangnan Company."  Line."

    "Oh? My son also has shares?" Lin Run asked with interest as if it was the first time he heard about it: "Is it convenient to reveal how much it is?"

    That¡¯s the bad thing about officials who were born as censors. They love to get to the bottom of everything, which is overwhelming.

    "Two percent." Zhao Shouzheng replied firmly.

    This is definitely not a lie. Even if Lin Run ordered to retrieve the equity files of Jiangnan Company, he could only see the same result.

    Because Zhao Hao had already taken precautions and evacuated his shares in advance.

    He first introduced a number of strategic shareholders and diluted Jiangnan Company from a one-person company to a joint-stock company.

    Then, based on the agreement of ¡®same shares with different rights¡¯, a salt merchant was introduced as a financial investor and took over 20% of his shares, successfully reducing his own equity to less than 50%.

    Then, by exchanging shares with Wu Ji, while acquiring Wu Ji, he further increased his shareholding ratio in Jiangnan Company to .It reached a little more than one-third, which is 36%.

    But his voting rights in Jiangnan Company increased to 74%, nearly three-quarters, giving him absolute control over the company.

    This is not enough. Zhao Hao recently became a ¡®Singularity Holdings¡¯ to hold 34% of Jiangnan Company¡¯s stocks in his name.  In this way, on the shareholder list, his personal shareholding dropped to a paltry 2%, making him the smallest shareholder in the company.

    Although Mr. Zhao is not hiding well enough at present, it is enough to make everyone feel comfortable.

    ¡°At least you won¡¯t think of him as a crazy little monster, that¡¯s enough.

    Sure enough, even a shrewd man like Lin Zhongcheng, after hearing that Zhao Hao only held 2% of the shares, defended him and said:

    "My son is still too young. I'm afraid he will be bullied by those old foxes. He has invented a magic weapon like cement. It is reasonable for him to hold at least 10 to 20% of the shares."

    "Jiangnan Company has a big deal. Two percent is a lot, enough for my father and I to spend." Zhao Shouzheng said with a materialistic expression.

    "Okay, you can't be clear-minded without being indifferent." Lin Zhongcheng praised Mr. Zhao again, then pointed at Kunnan who had retreated from the water and said:

    ¡°This year¡¯s flood situation is over, what is Kunshan going to do next?¡±

    Zhao Shouzheng replied: "The next three phases of water conservancy projects will be carried out."

    "There are still three phases of the project?" Lin Run couldn't help laughing and said, "I think you are addicted to building embankments."

    "Kunshan has fallen far behind its neighboring counties in the past few years, and there are many lessons to be made up for." Zhao Shouzheng said solemnly: "Although Kunbei has been transformed, Kunnan is still the same. So the goal of the third phase of the project is  Let Kunnan stay away from floods for a long time!"

    "This is a big project." Lin Run waved his hand, and Changsui quickly presented him with a map of Kunshan.

    Zhao Shouzheng drew a line on the map with his finger and said: "First, there are sixty miles of the south embankment of the Wusong River, then there are the Dianshan Lake and Chenghu lake embankments, and the river embankment south of the Pu River, which is about another hundred and twenty miles.  .¡±

    "Hiss, it's a full one hundred and eighty miles." With the first two phases of the project laid out, Lin Run naturally had no doubt that Zhao Shouzheng could do what he said.

    It¡¯s just that this terrifying construction ability is really too much for people¡¯s hearts.

    It can be called an ¡®infrastructure maniac¡¯.

    "Yes. The third phase is a big project." Zhao Shouzheng replied seriously: "The county also feels that it is quite difficult. In addition, Kunnan still needs to carry out large-scale epidemic prevention and renovation, and it may not be completed before the year.  You have to have a holiday in the first month of the year, right? If it¡¯s postponed, it will probably be February. Hey, then next year¡¯s arrangements will be disrupted"

    But Governor Lin felt a black line on his forehead.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? A 180-mile-long embankment, can¡¯t be completed by others in ten years. Are you still afraid that you won¡¯t be able to finish it a year ago?

    It¡¯s only three months until the Chinese New Year, you know?

    Do you want any other county work?

    ¡°You know that there are more than 1,400 magistrates and counties across the country, as well as us magistrates and governors, all of whom have been tortured to their juices by you?  !  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
