So far, although local governments can have a considerable amount of tax input every year, Zhao Xing has never used it too much. He has always insisted that governments at all levels take taxes from the people and use them for the people. (_--)

Although the taxes collected every year in various places are much lower than those in areas not controlled by Zhao Xing, they cannot withstand the rapid development of various places today. The total amount of taxes has reached 80 million taels. This is another dizzying number, but Zhao Xing has never had the idea of ​​this huge wealth.

In addition to paying salaries for officials at all levels and reserve soldiers to maintain local public security, all the remaining income from taxes in various places is used to build water conservancy, roads, expand towns and improve people's livelihood.

Take it from the people and use it for the people. This tax slogan from later generations was painted on countless walls with white lime, but he did not expect it to be realized by Zhao Xing in this magical time and space.

Zhao Xing knew deeply that there were too many places and reasons for spending money everywhere. Although he instructed to create seven funds, it could only serve as a guiding and inspiring effect. For the current 10 million and the future 50 million Han population, it was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the fundamental problem. In a country that was heading towards prosperity, there were too many places for spending money, and there were too many reasons for spending money.

A few days ago, several prefects near Wohu City came to visit the King of Pingxi, namely Wang Lang, the prefect of Taiyuan County, Liu Yao, the prefect of Xihe County, and Sun Shao, the prefect of Shangjun.

These three people were recommended by Kong Rong and Tao Qian, and went to Jin State from Qingxu to become officials. In recent years, while learning and adapting to the internal system of Jin State that was completely different from other states, they also played their personal strengths with the assistance of subordinate officials, and they also managed the prefectures and counties they served in order and flourished. **--*

When Wang Lang, Liu Yao and Sun Shao came, Ma Kang, the assistant of the prefect of Shangdang, was accompanied by him. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, these people were greeting King Pingxi in advance, and secondly, they also encountered relatively difficult problems, hoping that Zhao Xing, who could do anything, would give advice.

When the four of them entered the Pingxi Palace, they only carried a few simple local specialties, which were probably not as valuable as the Spring Festival gift packages Zhao Xing gave to all the people. However, they were so righteous and naturally entered the door. They were welcomed into the palace by Zhao Xingxin's assistant Ma Su himself.

If this is on someone else's head, I guess I'll be dismissed the next day after entering the mansion the next day. What a joke, I would like to pay New Year's greetings to King Pingxi, which was such a cheap gift.

But Zhao Xing liked this one. Now at least 30% of the world's wealth is directly controlled by him. What else does he lack to cherish antiques and gold and white jade? As long as the King of Pingxi advocates integrity and frugality, many people below will be able to do the best, which is easier to use than many orders.

After entering the living room, Zhao Xing warmly greeted several prefects or the quasi-prefects to sit down, and then invited someone to serve tea, snacks, etc., and had a lot of greetings.

Zhao Xing was only precious to time. People from all over the world who wanted to come to visit him had already lined up from the welcome door to the eldest son's county town, so they directly explained their purpose to Zhao Xing.

Wang Lang said: "Now that all parts of Jin State are developing rapidly and the population is increasing rapidly. Many farmers who originally farmed have flocked to the town workshops to work and live. Cities such as Jinyang, eldest son, Lishi, and Gaonu are increasingly crowded. Even so, there are still a large number of people who want to find a foothold in the big cities in various places. Therefore, these counties with good development momentum are facing the real problem of soaring land prices and insufficient housing."

Zhao Xing had actually predicted and understood the problems Wang Lang reported. With the development and utilization of land in Jin Dynasty that can be cultivated and livestock breeding, and the mass production and use of various advanced agricultural tools, these lands can no longer accommodate too many new farmers. At the same time, as the center of the northern handmade manufacturing industry, towns in various parts of Jin Dynasty need a large amount of labor every year. As a result, the rapid increase in the population of cities in various counties will naturally lead to the problem of insufficient housing in the city.

As long as you think about the two words "urbanization" and "first need" that have appeared repeatedly in later generations, Zhao Xing understood the difficulties of Wang Lang and other local parents. However, Zhao Xing did not want to say a solution in one word, but needed to make Wang Lang and others realize the correct meaning of concepts such as urban planning and real estate development and utilization, rather than taking it out of context to develop and build cities as a violent tool for local governments to profit from it.

Zhao Xing asked Wang Lang: "Faced with these newly emerging problems, I wonder if you have discussed any countermeasures together?"

Wang Lang replied: "We discussed on the way when we came. We felt that the problem of insufficient housing in the city is to solve the problem of first, first, expand the city, second, try to improve the utilization of land in the city, and third, control the population entering the city."

Zhao Xing nodded in agreement with Wang Lang's statement. He asked again: "In addition to controlling the number of people living outside the city without money, the first and second measures seem to require a lot of money to spend. I wonder if you have made a pre-estimation, how much does it cost?"

If Zhao Xing asked about Guoyuan, Lou Gui, Liang Xi and other experienced prefects, they would definitely answer them smoothly. Because this is Zhao Xing's habit of asking questions, he must have clear numbers, rather than using vague words to deal with him. Unfortunately, Wang Lang and others are still not very sensitive to numbers, so they had to shake their heads with guilt and say, "This has never been estimated."

"I'll help you with some advice. If other counties encounter similar problems in the future, you can also make a model and let everyone make similar things." Zhao Xing no longer kept it a secret, and said confidently: "First, after you return to each county, you will set up a special urban development and construction management committee, and a dedicated person will be responsible for planning the expansion of the city. You must have a long-term vision and complete living facilities; secondly, a housing construction and sales center led by the government will be established to acquire land for a fee from the original residents in the city, build residential houses of about three floors and street shops for rent, and then sell them to people who need housing at a reasonable price."

Zhao Xing tried his best to instill concepts such as commercial real estate and affordable housing in later generations. Of course, when he said this, he deliberately emphasized that the vast majority of ordinary people could afford ordinary houses. Those houses with large courtyards with vast land were sold to wealthy families at high prices.

In this way, ordinary people have ordinary houses that can make a living, while wealthy families can spend money to buy expensive but relatively spacious and comfortable private houses.

Zhao Xing made it clear that when building houses and selling, we cannot make money from ordinary people, but to make money from rich people and realize the process of transferring wealth from wealthy families to poor people.
