Chapter 322: Start Buying Land
The two main roads adjacent to the west of the city have been planned as cultural and commercial streets.
At first, everyone was confused about this name and didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, but after Xie Yingfeng explained it, everyone understood.
A large park was planned in the area adjacent to the west of the city, right next to the Imperial Examination Hall. It can be said that it is connected to the Imperial Examination Hall. The so-called park is a public garden funded and built by the Mangcheng Prefecture.
The map of this public garden was also shown. It has an artificial lotus pond, artificial rockery, seasonal flowers and scattered fruit and flower trees. Once completed, it will become a scenic spot in Mangcheng. The artificial lotus pond will be connected to the moat and lead to the Songshui River outside Mangcheng. The water in the lotus pond is running water.
There are several pavilions and towers in the garden, as well as a large public stage. In the future, when there are festivals, there will be free operas to watch.
The garden covers a large area, and the surrounding area is planned to be a cultural shop, antique street and residential area. The shops here can only be used for the sale of calligraphy and antiques and to open study rooms.
A food street is planned in the east of the city. The shops along the street are all restaurants, wine shops, various teahouses and snack shops. A small garden is also set up on the east street. It is not as big as the one in the west of the city, but it is more exquisite.
Behind the shops on this street are various small houses, providing a quiet spot in the bustling city.
After watching Xie Yingfeng's recommendation and demonstration, everyone present was shocked.
They originally thought that they came here today just to see the government showing off its authority and forcing them to buy land, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
The government didn't need to force them to buy it. Just after reading Xie Yingfeng's introduction, they were already eager to buy it.
The old city of Mangcheng has been around for a long time and has been through several wars. It is very old in terms of scale and facilities, with narrow streets and old houses. Moreover, the old city has no planning and poor layout. The opening of various shops is also arbitrary and appears to be chaotic.
In contrast, the new urban area has meticulous and thoughtful zoning, clear planning, wide roads, and is also equipped with a so-called drainage system. I heard that bamboo tubes are used as pipes to directly draw hot spring water from nearby mountains.
This is so attractive!
So now everyone put aside the mentality of watching the fun when they came in just now, and all lowered their heads to study the information in their hands.
This information is written in great detail, including the land size of each urban area, the size of the plots, and whether there is hot spring water introduced.
Currently, the only area that can introduce mountain spring water is the western part of the city. After all, this part is close to the mountains outside the city. Although the project of introducing spring water is relatively large, it is relatively easier to complete than in other places.
Therefore, residential land in the west of the city is also the most expensive.
"Thank you, sir." Someone flipped through the documents and found two more items, namely, education fee surcharge and infrastructure fee surcharge, so he asked, "Do we need to pay these two amounts as well?"
"Yes, this is based on the amount you paid for the land." Xie Yingfeng saw that someone finally saw the point, so he smiled and said, "The two together are charged at 10% of the land price. It is an additional fee in addition to the land price. I would like to make it clear in advance that if you don't want to pay this money, don't bid for the land."
"Where are these two items used?" someone else asked.
"Good question." Xie Yingfeng pointed at the two items and said, "As the names suggest, the money for these two projects is used for the education construction of Mangcheng, and the other is used for the construction of infrastructure in Mangcheng. For example, building other schools and repairing the roads in the old city. In the future, not only will the auction of the new city of Mangcheng have these two additional fees, but the houses in the old city will also be sold with these two items. Otherwise, the government will not issue the transfer documents."
"This..." Everyone immediately started to make noise again. "Sir Xie, this amount of money is a bit too much!" someone said dissatisfiedly.
"Not much, not much." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "The more expensive the land is, the more it will benefit Mangcheng. Everyone, please do what you can. I think everyone here also wants Mangcheng to have a better tomorrow! Everyone, for good land, this 10% construction and education surcharge is nothing."
Everyone calmed down and thought about it, "Thank you, sir, do I have to pay this fee for every transaction? Or only for the first transaction?"
"It has to be paid for every transaction." Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "It's fair. And I guarantee that as long as this fee is paid, the government will not charge you any other fees, and the previous migration tax will be cancelled. Other miscellaneous fees will also be abolished directly."
Everybody got together and quietly exchanged opinions with each other. In fact, this 10% fee was not that high. After all, the previous land transactions in Mangcheng had various other taxes and fees, which added up to more than this 10% surcharge!
Seeing that everyone's faces had calmed down, Xie Yingfeng cleared his throat and said, "Then let's start the auction."
The first thing Xie Yingfeng auctioned was the commercial street in the east of the city.
The first to take action was Su Jixiang.
The clan gentry did not know Su Jixiang, but they knew Wei Ling who was sitting next to Su Jixiang.
They knew that the person Wei Ling brought today was his wife.
When Su Jixiang bought the land, they were still waiting and watching at first, and not many people raised their hands to bid. After all, they were eyeing the land in the west of the city near the Imperial Examination Hall and the shops near the two medical clinics.
After Su Jixiang successfully bought four plots of land and ten shops facing the street, everyone gradually started to understand the situation.
Xie Yingfeng is from the Black Tiger Army.
If the east area of the city is not as good as the other areas in the future, then why would Su Jixiang buy a large area in the east area of the city? Obviously they know the inside story and the east area of the city will definitely have great potential in the future.
But Su Jixiang is the marquis's wife. If she wants to buy land, these clan gentry will feel embarrassed to compete with her for the land!
So when the fifth piece of land came out, everyone saw that Su Jixiang did not raise his hand again immediately. While they were still hesitating and waiting, Qu Wanning and the two generals of the Qu family started to raise their hands.
After seeing this, everyone became more convinced that there is great potential for the east part of the city!
They didn't dare to compete with Su Jixiang, but they could compete with these people.
Because Qu Wanning did not come in with Xie Yingfeng, no one knew that she was Xie Yingfeng's wife. They just thought she was with the two generals of the Black Tiger Guard.
Su Jixiang stopped bidding, which meant that she had limited money in her pocket and could not afford the purchase, so other members of the Black Tiger Army took over the purchase.
How could these gentry let it go? They symbolically gave up two plots of land and a few shops to Qu Wanning and General Qu and his son, and then began to bid madly for the remaining plots of land and shops!
