Chapter 102 Site Selection
When had Gu Zuo been treated like this? Let’s not mention Zhong Shenjun’s duties and power. He was a dignified Jindan monk, and he accompanied himself as a Qi refiner to see the land. This was something that he never dared to think about before.
Before Gu Zuo could refuse, Zhong Shenjun had already pulled Gu Zuo out.
Along the way, Gu Zuo was wondering whether people valued Huaixian Pavilion or Wu Shanjing?
Zhong Shenjun's carriage was magnificent, and the black horse pulling it was even more impressive. Gu Zuo was shocked to see that it turned out to be a monster with sharp horns.
Zhong Shenjun saw that Gu Zuo did not get on the carriage, but circled the black horse carefully, and said with a smile: "This is a good horse that our Spiritual Animal Department has been cultivating in southern Xinjiang for twenty years and using the one-horned spirit sheep as a species. Although
The demon power has degraded and is no longer comparable to demon beasts, but it is far better than ordinary war horses in all aspects. However, this kind of unicorn horse is difficult to tame. There are less than thirty of them so far. Last year, two were sent to Beijing. It is said that His Majesty likes them very much, haha
.”
Heishan Zhao was composed of eight tribes, all of which were gangs that were rampant in southern Xinjiang in the past. After being granted the imperial edict and becoming a country, each of them divided a territory and became a country within a country. It didn't sound good to call it a gang anymore, so it was renamed "tribe".
The largest of the eight tribes are the Yin Sheng tribe and the Black Teeth tribe, and the Spirit Beast tribe is also among them. They are good at raising monster beasts. Their feudal tribe is located in Wanshou Mountain, three hundred miles southeast of Heishan County. It is at the forefront of southern Xinjiang's development.
cutting edge.
Another identity of Zhong Canjun is the elder of the Spirit Beast Department.
Gu Zuo sincerely complimented him, then got into the car with Zhong Shenjun and headed to the east of the city.
The first place Zhong Shenjun recommended to Gu Zuo for setting up a guild hall was in this square. It was close to the shops and was in a prosperous area. It was originally a guild hall set up by Pinglu Army in Hebei Province. However, it was expelled at the beginning of the year due to disagreements with the Heishan imperial edict.
Well, this guild hall was taken back by Husi.
When it comes to buying a house, Zhong Shenjun has to explain to Gu Zuo: "Don't worry, there have been no ghost troubles or unknown deaths in this yard. People from Pinglu Army want to buy the one-horned stallion from my spiritual animal department, but we won't sell it."
, they just stole and got caught, so they were expelled from Montenegro and they will not be allowed to come in again in the future."
Gu Zuo asked what the price was, and Zhong Canjun quoted 50 yuan. After the report, he said: "We, Heishan Zhao, have always adhered to the tenet of 'all brothers in the four seas', and most welcome all sects and halls to come and make a fortune together. As long as they don't
We wholeheartedly provide every convenience for those dirty things like Ping Lu Jun. According to the rules of the Black Mountain Edict, the initial preparation expenses of Huaixian Pavilion can be used to deduct taxes in the first fifteen years!"
In Nanzhao, the taxation that every household adheres to in words is the same as that in the mainland, which is one tax per ten, but in practice it is difficult to implement, so it has long been disguised as levying fixed quotas based on levels - also learned from the states and counties in the mainland.
For example, the Heishan Edict divided the tax amount into four levels. For those listed in the "Book of Sects of the World", the sects would pay a fixed amount of fifty guan every year, and the Taoist temples would pay a fixed amount of 20 guan every year. Guild halls and shops in various places that were not listed would all pay a fixed amount of 10 guan.
For individuals, it is three thousand yuan.
It sounds like the tax is much higher than in the Mainland, almost double, but there are many opportunities here and it's easy to make money, so the actual burden is very light.
The key point is that the Black Mountain Edict has a paranoia about the introduction of famous orthodox sects that is unmatched by the other five edicts. According to Yuan Daozhang's understanding, it is also related to their eagerness to "return to evil". Therefore, for the "Tianxia Sect Book", the
The 812 sect gymnasiums have specially formulated strong preferential measures.
For any well-known and authentic house, any initial preparation expenses can be used to deduct taxes in the first fifteen years! The greater the preparation expenses, the more deductions will be made. The so-called early preparation expenses have a clear time limit.
Before the end of December, all expenses within a year will be counted as preliminary preparation expenses!
This approach reflects the intention of providing all-round support to famous and authentic sects. The upper limit of tax exemption for sects is 750 guan, and the upper limit of tax exemption for monasteries is 300 guan.
No wonder Taoist priest Yuan came up with 100 guan to buy the ticket for Huaixian Pavilion. The tax-free 200 guan may be just the beginning, but there will definitely be more benefits later.
Gu Zuo is even more looking forward to the prospect of Zhao in Heishan.
To be honest, this club was opened in such a prosperous area. The interior layout, decoration, and furniture were all available. Fifty guan was really cheap, but Gu Zuo had a bad feeling about this place after reading it.
He has a dream to build a mountain gate archway at the foot of a certain mountain. He has already thought of a name!
Gu Zuo doesn't like a courtyard with two entrances!
So the carriage left the city, and Zhong Canjun accompanied Gu Zuo to Zhutao Valley.
Zhutao Valley is located two miles south of the city. It is a small valley sandwiched between rolling mountains. The valley has good terrain and is highly concealed. The mountains on both sides are towering, blocking the valley.
It is very close to the city, and the land in the valley is fertile and there is a creek, which is most suitable for growing medicinal herbs. This is why Zhong Canjun recommended it.
Zhong Canjun introduced that the owner of Yunpeng Mountain Villa who originally owned this place owed a lot of debt and owed the Husi three years of taxes, so the place was forcibly taken back by the Husi. It was originally planned to sell it to the mountain owners on the left and right, but if Gusi
If Zuo wants it, he can give it to him first, and the price is the same as one acre of land.
The purchase of two hundred and sixty acres of land required two hundred and sixty guan. Gu Zuo could come up with the money, and he really wanted it. However, he heard that there were neighbors on both sides, so he couldn't help but have concerns, and asked Zhong Canjun: "This is the place next to me."
Do both mountains have owners?"
Zhong Shenjun pointed: "They are all there. Their territory reaches all the way to the foot of the mountain."
Gu Zuo immediately hesitated. While he was naked and basking in the sun in the valley, people were watching the fun on the mountains on both sides. What was this?
After much deliberation, he decided to check out the third place.
Zhong Canjun didn't bother him at all, and pulled Gu Zuo to get into the car, which made Gu Zuo feel ashamed and said repeatedly: "Thank you for joining the army."
Zhong Shenjun waved his hand on the carriage: "Heishan has been under imperial edict for twenty years, and so far there are only fifteen famous and authentic families. You are the sixteenth family. You are young. If we don't cherish Gu Gu Gu Gu, who can we cherish? These are the ones we can cherish."
In the past three years, we have been helping local sects apply for tickets, and we have been successful twice in the past years, but in the past few years, no one has been successful. Especially in the past three years, the Chongxuan Office has not approved a new one, "Tianxia Sect Register"
"To this day, the version from three years ago is still used. We asked Longquan Yuan and they said that the Chongxuan Department was stuck very tightly, and we didn't know what was going on."
Chatting all the way, the unicorn-drawn horse-drawn carriage flew around two mountain ridges and arrived at the land of Sixteen Miles Unconsciously.
Surrounded by mountains here, the endless peaks can be seen endlessly. Zhong Shenjun pointed around and said: "That's the Lotus Leaf Cave, here is the Purple Mountain Villa, and there is the Hongfu Temple in the pine forest. Along this road
Beyond the creek, there are Feilongmen, Hansha Gang, and Wanhe Valley, a total of six families. If Master Gu places the sect here, it will be the seventh family."
When the carriage arrived at the small river, Zhong Shenjun told Gu Zuo that the official road was only built up to this point, and the remaining mile needed to be walked.
