Chapter 429: Changes in Sichuan (2)

The matter of Sichuan was quickly sent to the Wenhua Hall by the General Administration Department, and it also quickly reached Zhu Yunwen's ears.

In the palace, several members of the cabinet sat down with some embarrassed faces, and from time to time cautiously glanced at Zhu Yunwen behind the first imperial case.

The policy of returning farmland has just arrived in Sichuan, and before it can be implemented, the problem will come out first in one step, isn't this a slap in the face of the cabinet and the emperor?

At the same time, several people also scolded Kuang Yi and this political envoy of Zuo Bu who didn't know what to do.

How many people are involved in this pilot in Sichuan? Even if this problem of laziness occurs, how much pressure can it cause on the finances?

You can't tell the emperor euphemistically, when the next step is to promote it to other provinces, the imperial court will naturally correct it, and if you think it is not suitable, you will change it at will, then you Sichuan should simply have an independent government, and what do you want the cabinet and the emperor to do.

In the future, other provinces will follow suit, and the central government's policies will continue to be tampered with with with the phrase 'stealing and thinking inappropriately', and then the world will not be in chaos.

"In the matter of Sichuan, I am indeed inappropriate in terms of thinking."

Putting down this transcript, Zhu Yunwen's first sentence admitted his mistake first, and he was also shocked that several members of the cabinet subconsciously stood up and confessed.

"It's really because the ministers don't pay attention to the people's feelings, what do they have to do with our emperor, and the ministers ask for guilt."

Zhu Yunwen shook his right hand lightly and said sincerely: "If you need to be invited, sit down, Kuang Yi and this book are for me, and I also remind you of this important matter of people's livelihood, we should think about all aspects before making a decision."

I am the Ninety-Five, and you are all first-class members, discussing the country's policies in peace, and often using hundreds of millions of dollars, where do you know the value of these two taels of silver.

I never thought that in Chengdu at this time, the harvest of an acre of land for a year is not even worth a tael of silver, and the people's lives are so difficult, if they are poor for a long time, I am afraid that it is really as Kuang Yihe said, the dynasty will raise hundreds of thousands of lazy people who eat all day long and wait for death.

We have all made the subjective mistake of a layman leading an insider, and if we make a mistake, we must admit our mistakes, and we must not be angry because of shame, so that future generations will laugh at our narrow-mindedness and ignorance. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was not only not angry, but also seemed to have a lot of praise for this Kuang Yihe, Yang Shiqi took the first step and said: "Your Majesty's open-mindedness and admonition, even if Tang Taizong is alive, is far from it, and he is admired. ”

No matter how good it is, Yang Shiqi has sycophants to send, and then he follows Zhu Yunwen's words and responds to the way.

"Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, and Kuang Yihe dealt with it quickly, and it has not yet caused other impacts. However, it is not necessary to let the General Administration Department inform the provinces in the Di Bao and other internal magazines. ”

After staying in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for so many years, Yang Shiqi's political level can definitely be called the peak, and the answer can be described as comprehensive, first of all, he upheld the central authority of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and took the responsibility for improper decision-making.

He then certainly praised Kwong's handling of the matter, but also limited the matter to a small area between the cabinet and Kwong, so as not to lead to a series of incidents like Kwong's arbitrary policy tampering.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and agreed: "Then let's do it." ”

Like Yang Shiqi, Zhu Yunwen has no intention of praising Kwong Yihe on a large scale, even if the latter has made a very correct and constructive admonition this time.

In the future, if the central government has its own considerations in other national policies, but the localities cannot see it, and they are limited by the narrow view of the region and wantonly tampered with, it will be a major national event.

If Kuang Yihe was a smart person, he would not have hyped up this matter, and his credit should not be diminished at all, and it can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart in the future.

The benefits have fallen, and the other false names are still important.

Will Kwong Yihe be a smart person?

After the cabinet's reply arrived in Chengdu, Kuang Yihe smiled lightly and casually burned the paper approval.

This move startled the confidant master.

"My lord, this is the approval of the cabinet, and it will be filed with the Secretary for General Administration in the future."

"What approval?"

Kuang Yihe asked casually, which surprised the master even more.

"It's about the compensation for returning farmland in Chengdu, and the adults decisively dealt with it, pointed out and solved the impropriety."

"It's completely nothing, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that his master's mind couldn't turn, Kuang Yihe opened his mouth and nodded: "Regarding the matter of returning farmland to Sichuan this time, in terms of compensation, the cabinet's instructions are to compensate according to two taels per mu per year, and the time limit is five years. ”

The master was completely dumbfounded.

After so many days of tossing and turning, in the end, how could he give all the credit to the head of the cabinet?

What kind of business is this?

After thinking about it for a long time, the master smiled bitterly.

It's no wonder that he is a provincial government, and he is a small official who does not enter the character.

To be a person and do things, you have to learn a lot.

"Inform Zhou Sicheng and let his superintendent let go of his hands and feet."

Kuang Yihe hummed a little song pleasantly, and he was in a good mood.

After Zhou Weiwen received the master's relay, he also learned what Kuang Yihe had done, and he was even more appreciative of Kuang Yihe.

Suppressing the admiration in his heart, Zhou Weiwen said to the household officials of the Supervision Division.

"Start work and reclaim the land!"

A large-scale, affecting hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu Prefecture to return farmland to the action in October of the twelfth year of Jianwen, since the beginning of Xia Yin, nearly 4,000 years of Chinese farming civilization, this is the first time that the imperial court initiated the initiative to return farmland.

Countless yeoman farmers, such as Li San, hesitated to do so before the two compensation options, and the vast majority chose the second option.

That is, in the form of credit, a fixed annual compensation silver is obtained.

Only a small number of people who are bold will sell it directly at a price two percent higher than the market price.

Their argument was that if they chose the second option, they would receive an extra amount of compensation silver per year, but five years later the fields would be sold to the imperial court at the market price at that time.

Who knows if land prices will go up or down in five years' time?

Rather than that, it's better to sell more than 20% now.

One acre of land is thirty taels, five acres of land is one hundred and fifty taels, and one increase of two is more than thirty taels.

If you choose the second type, isn't five acres of land only fifty taels of silver for five years?

It's only twenty taels in five years.

Now that I have taken this large sum of money, what can I do.

But whether it's a return or a direct peddling, the result is the same.

That is, hundreds of thousands of people who have left the land have to flock to Chengdu, Mianyang and other big cities in search of new livelihoods.

The number of hundreds of villages scattered on the Chengdu Plain began to plummet wildly.

Urbanization in Sichuan is beginning to accelerate at a rapid pace.
