How did the Song Dynasty compensate for the demolition? What "Regulations on Demolition Compensation" did Song Shenzong approve?

In the sixth year of Song Yuanfeng (1083), another compensation regulation for house demolition was drawn up at Tuguan Zuwupo in Kaifeng, which was approved by Song Shenzong. This article clearly stipulates that the demolisher shall give material resettlement or monetary compensation. Physical resettlement: Beijing's military forces will be responsible for accurately measuring the houses to be demolished, and the Ministry of Housing and the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds to build houses with the same building area in other places for residents to move in.

Monetary compensation: another unit called Lifting Capital Institute is responsible for estimating the price of the house to be demolished, taking the original price on the deed and the current price of the house, taking compromise as the compensation standard, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and Zuocang Treasury contribute to the compensation. According to the records, in June this year, Kaifeng was demolished 120 people, and * * got "26,000 mu" compensation, that is, 20,600 mu (1000 mu), with an average of 17 1. 16 mu per household. 17 1. 16 how big a house can I buy in Kaifeng, the capital? ?

Some experts and scholars said that the house price in Kaifeng was not found at that time, but there was a price for Su Dongpo's younger brother Su Zhe to buy a house in Guangdong Province. Su Zhe was banished to Zhou Xun (now Guangdong). At that time, the imperial court expressly stipulated that the demotion was not allowed to live in the temple Taoist temple, so Su Zhe had to use the remaining 50,000 yuan savings to buy a private house of 10.

It is the first policy and regulation on compensation for house demolition in ancient China. The Song Criminal Code clearly stipulates the crime of "officials invading private fields": if the court engages in land acquisition or demolition and fails to give corresponding compensation, it will be punished with 60 sticks for every acre occupied; More than an acre, seventy sticks; One hundred people with more than three acres; More than five acres, only a year and a half. From this, it can be seen that our country's laws have always prohibited non-compensation and forced demolition.
