Chapter 489: Stone City Merchants Association (I)


The entertainment square in the east of Shicheng County, after more than a month of construction, has begun to take shape.The entertainment square covers an area of more than 50 acres.Out of the east gate of the county, it is a straight and wide bluestone road.The road is about 300 meters long, and on both sides, every ten meters, a cypress tree is planted.Five meters along the trees on both sides are already built.These houses are built in a row on each side, and each house covers an area of more than 200 square meters, all of which are two-story small wooden buildings.There are 38 houses on both sides, 19 on the left and 19 on the left.Due to the constraints of money, manpower, and time, the houses that have been built are only lined on both sides of the road.However, behind these two rows of houses, plots of land have also been planned and trees have been planted to prepare for subsequent construction.About one hundred and fifty meters to the west of the road, there is a large open field.The area of this empty field is the size of a football field.This is the polo field set aside by Zhao Yunze.Trees were also planted around the polo field.On this day, Zhao Yunze took forty or fifty wealthy squires from Shicheng County and several surrounding counties who were invited to come out of Shicheng County and walked into the entertainment square that was beginning to take shape."

Ladies and gentlemen, these houses are ready to be rented out by the county government, and you can run teahouses, hotels, restaurants, wineries, cloth shops, garment shops, and so on.As long as it does not violate the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, you can open it. ”Zhao Yunze led the visitors into one of the houses, and after taking everyone up and down, he said to everyone."

How is this rent calculated?"

asked a squire at once."

For the first year, all rents will be waived, and you will only need to pay the commercial tax, and in addition, you will pay the general management fee every month."

Zhao Yunze said."

What is this general management fee?"

asked a squire.Zhao Yunze replied: "The comprehensive management fee is the money collected by the county government to provide various guarantees for everyone.For example, hiring people to clean the streets, and officials patrolling the streets to maintain law and order, and so on.In general, after you have paid this comprehensive management fee, the county government will not charge any additional fees except for commercial taxes. ”"How much rent will be charged after the first year?"

asked another squire."

Well, it depends on your first-year profits.But I can give you a guarantee.As long as I, Zhao Yunze, am still in Shicheng County, the rent will never be too high, at most, a month's money. ”Zhao Yunze said."

This price is really not high, even if you count the comprehensive management fee, if you spread it evenly, it is only two yuan a month, and it is less than 70 yuan a day.Even if you set up a stall in the county seat, you will have to pay twenty or thirty dollars.And that's not even counting the entrance tax. ”A squire said.The rest of the people nodded their heads as well.Zhao Yunze smiled and said, "By the way, I will tell you a piece of news, from today onwards, Shicheng County will cancel the city entry tax.Those who set up stalls in the county to sell things only charge a management fee of five cents per meter according to the size of the stall.All other fees are cancelled. ”When everyone heard this, they praised Zhao Yunze's decision.In fact, Zhao Yunze made this decision with a lot of twists and turns.Three days ago, when he summoned the officials in the yamen to announce the decision, many people complained that if they did not collect those fees, the county government would not even have enough funds for normal operation.Zhao Yunze didn't know that these people opposed this decision because they would lose their income because of it.Immediately, Zhao Yunze made a guarantee and told everyone that in the future, their regular money will only be more, not less.But there are still people who question this.Zhao Yunze became angry and said directly, if you don't want to do it in the county government, you can leave.Now, no one dares to speak out.Zhao Yunze dared to make a guarantee, saying that those people's money would only be more, not less, and he had full confidence.Not to mention anything else, if you can rent out all the houses that have already been built, then the comprehensive management fee collected every month alone will be completely worth the income from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that the county government used to have.What's more, there will be more merchants in Shicheng County in the future.However, the construction cost of the entertainment plaza was all borrowed by Zhao Yunze from Cui Duncheng.This cost is not taken into account.But having said that, Zhao Yunze also promised that if he couldn't benefit from the development of Shicheng County, he would also bear the money he borrowed.Because of this, the county officials did not have any objections to Zhao Yunze's Shicheng County development plan.Just renting these houses, Zhao Yunze will not be able to recover the cost.He only used these houses first to attract a small number of businessmen to settle down.His greatest reliance is on the vacant land where houses have not yet been built.When the early transactions are started and Shicheng County becomes attractive, there will naturally be more wealthy people who will come to buy land, build houses, and start trading.Zhao Yunze, who has crossed over from the 21st century, is well aware of the profits of real estate.Especially for the government, selling land is a profitable business.Zhao Yunze also prepared in a hurry for this investment promotion in Shicheng County, and he sent people to sprinkle invitations all over the place, saying that all those who came to Shicheng County to participate in the investment promotion conference would be in charge of food and housing.However, the number of guests who came in the end was far from Zhao Yunze's ideal.He originally thought that there would be about 100 people, but in fact, there were only about 40 people.Moreover, half of the guests from the prefecture alone are here.Even these 40 or so people, I'm afraid more than half of them are here to join in the fun.Of the 38 houses, I don't know how many I can rent out in the end.The guests listened to Zhao Yunze's introduction of the policy, and they all turned their heads and ears."

Guys, if you're planning to rent a house, you have to hurry.With such favorable conditions, even if you are wearing a lantern, you can't find it," Zhao Yunze said."

Lord Zhao, the conditions you said are indeed favorable, but we locals are well aware of the poverty in Shicheng County.Here, business is not easy," said a squire, with a look of embarrassment."

yes, yes, we can't rent a house.We all have our own homes. ”Another businessman chimed in.The rest laughed.Zhao Yunze also smiled, and he said: "Everyone, don't look at Shicheng County is poor now, but, dare to say, at most half a year, Shicheng County will inevitably gather businessmen."

It is precisely because Shicheng County is poor now that a certain person will give you such preferential conditions.If you miss this opportunity, if you want to come to Shicheng County to do business in the future, you can only buy land and build your own house.Moreover, by that time, the price of land in Shicheng County will definitely skyrocket. ”Everyone was still unmoved by Zhao Yunze's remarks.They all just sighed and shook their heads.Zhao Yunze's face was a little unbearable.Could it be that the investment promotion association I ran is going to become a joke:
