"Please be sure to teach me this method!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Lu immediately threw himself in front of Wu Liang and begged impatiently, "Those brothers in the family all relied on the power of the Zhu family to get a half-official position or gain some fame in Chenliu County, if I can be promoted and make a fortune without relying on the Zhu family, it will prove that I must be more powerful than those brothers, this is what I have never dreamed of!" ”

"Brother Yongkang doesn't need to be so excited, I already have a plan for this matter, and it is precisely to share wealth and prosperity with Brother Yongkang, so I will specially mention this matter."

Wu Liang smiled, but said with empty eyes, "But this matter depends on the courage and determination of Brother Yongkang." ”

"As long as there is a talented brother who is willing to carry me, my brother has courage and determination!"

Zhu Lu hurriedly said.

"That's good."

Wu Liang helped Zhu Lu back to his seat, and then finally continued, "In fact, it is difficult to say that this matter is difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is difficult, please think about it carefully, in this situation, the Zhu family does not lack fields, cattle, and farm tools, so what is the most lacking?" ”

Obviously, if the number of tenants decreases considerably, some of the cattle and farming implements will be left idle.

And most of these ploughing cattle and farming tools belonged to the Zhu family, especially ploughing cattle, and a ploughing cow was even worth 100 gold at the highest time in this era.

Farmers with cattle at home are all large local households, and they will not become tenants who rent the landlord's land at all.

"This ......"

As a result, Zhu Lu thought about it for a long time, and then replied: "The most scarce gold? ”

"Poof......

Hearing Zhu Lu's god-like answer, Wu Liang almost held back a mouthful of old blood.

However, there seems to be nothing wrong with this answer, for the sake of the big plan in his heart, Wu Liang still patiently explained for him: "Everyone is short of gold, there is no time when there is no shortage, but I am not talking about gold, but people, tenants who rent land, as long as there are enough tenants to cultivate your fertile land, in order to collect the full amount of tenant rent, if the properties in other parts of the Zhu family have shrunk this year, only Yongkang Xiandi has received a full amount of tenant rent, Yongkang Xiandi is the one who stands out...... Isn't that reasonable? ”

"Yes, yes, what the talented brother said is very true, what I lack most here at the moment is tenants, with tenants there is tenant rent, with tenant rent there is everything!"

Only then did Zhu Lu suddenly realize that he nodded in agreement.

"Brother Yongkang is decisive and intelligent, and he can understand it at one point."

Wu Liang said with a smile, "I can't hide it, I have a way to solve the problem of tenants, so that every piece of fertile land in Yongkang Xiandi will be rented and planted, and the tenant rent will be collected in full at that time." ”

"This is true, please give me advice from talented brothers!"

Zhu Lu was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

"In fact, the tenant matter is not difficult, and it is to do it for the brother Yongkang Xiandi, which can ensure that when the spring ploughing comes, there are tenants in every place under the rule of Yongkang Xiandi."

Wu Liang patted his chest and said.

"Talented Brother ......"

Hearing this, Zhu Lu's tears of emotion were about to fall, and he grabbed Wu Liang's hand tightly and said, "You are really my nobleman, this is a great help to me, I don't thank you for my kindness, my little brother will definitely repay me in the future!" ”

"Brother Yongkang is serious."

Wu Liang smiled and asked again, "I don't know how much of Yongkang's virtuous brother's land was rented in previous years?" ”

"Sixty percent."

Zhu Lu explained to Wu Liang in detail, "In fact, it was not so high, but in recent years, wars have broken out, and the land tax collected by the imperial court has become higher and higher. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Lu even added: "Actually, I also know that those tenants have a very hard time with such a high tenant rent, but this is also a helpless thing, if I don't increase the tenant rent, I will be hungry." ”

I can't imagine that this guy still has this kind of mind......

Wu Liang had to admit that he had indeed looked down on him before, although this Zhu Lu's head didn't look very bright, but in fact, his heart and eyes were not as dark as he imagined.

Of course, this may also be one of the reasons why this guy is not favored by Zhu Xun, the head of the Zhu family.

As the son-in-law of the Zhu family, his heart is not black enough, that is, the stupid son of the landlord's family, especially in this troubled world, the landlord's family does not have much surplus food, such a "stupid son" is easy to defeat the family.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang asked again: "Then after excluding the land tax collected by the imperial court, how much grain is left in the hands of the Zhu family in the end?" ”

"Less than 20 percent."

Zhu Lu did the math and said truthfully.

"Okay, then 20%, you only receive 20% of the tenant rent this year, I will find someone to be your tenant, and then the tenant rent will ensure that the grain that enters your hands is definitely only higher than in previous years."

Wu Liang immediately clapped his head and said, "As for the land tax collected by the imperial court, you don't have to take care of it, and I am fully responsible for it, how about it?" ”

In fact, what is the so-called "land tax levied by the imperial court"......

Now that the heroes are divided, Chen Liu is Boss Cao's territory, and this tax is used as military salary for Boss Cao, and Boss Cao is the so-called "imperial court".

And since it is the land tax levied by Boss Cao.

Wu Liang felt that he could still be a little generous to Boss Cao.

Anyway, according to his plan, when the harvest season comes, the grain harvested by Yongqiu County's implementation of the "Tuntian System" will definitely be many times higher than in previous years, which is enough to surprise Cheng Yu and Boss Cao.

As for Zhu Lu's land tax, if Wu Liang didn't want to harm him, he only needed to tell Boss Cao that this person had provided a lot of help in the process of implementing the "tuntian system" and had spent a lot of food and money.

Of course.

It is not completely exempt from the land tax of Julu.

He planned to divide it with the recruited tunmin 46, and the tunmin took 6 and he took 4.

In this way, some of the tun people were arranged to go to Zhulu's fields to plant and cultivate, and he became a labor dispatch company, and he was able to earn back 20% of the land tax for Boss Cao.

In today's situation, there is absolutely no more conscientious person in the world than to set a forty percent tenant rent, let alone someone who is responsible for the food and shelter of those tuners before the crops grow, which is simply a paradise for them.

In fact, Wu Liang knew that in the feudal society of thousands of years up and down the Celestial Empire, forty percent of the tenant rent could never be regarded as low.

But times are different, and some things should be changed accordingly.

Just like this tenant rent, I really don't set it as low as possible.

Rather, it is better to choose a moderate point that is acceptable to both the ruler and the common people.

Too high or too low, as long as any party is dissatisfied, the system will collapse quickly, the situation will only become more chaotic, and the people themselves will suffer.

Historically, the "tuntian system" implemented by Boss Cao was only stable for several decades when the government and the people were divided into fives.

In the later period of Cao Wei, the exploitation gradually became serious, and the proportion of the division even reached the level of the eight officials and the two people, and the land of Tuntian was constantly occupied by the wealthy clans, so there was a large-scale resistance and flight of the Tuntian people, and the "Tuntian system" has completely collapsed since then.

And the reason why Wu Liang is set to be four or six open.

It is also deliberately left some room for operation for Boss Cao, which is like bargaining, if it comes up to five or five, Boss Cao will definitely want to squeeze it up again.

If Boss Cao personally adjusts the sharing ratio from four or six to five or five, he will feel that he has taken advantage of it, and he will adjust it more slowly in the future.

This is the only thing Wu Liang can do.

He knew that he couldn't be a savior, all he could do was to meet his goals while slowing down the collapse and exploitation of the tuntian system as much as possible, at least so that these tuntians could live a more stable life.

That's right.

Xing, the people are bitter.

Death, the people suffer.

Where there are people, exploitation is indispensable, and this is a social problem that can never be solved.

"Then don't I just have to do nothing but collect rent?"

Zhu Lu was stunned, there is such a good thing in the world?

And the tenant rent of 20% is definitely more than the previous "less than 20%"!

"Of course not, during this period, Brother Yongkang needs to provide me with some other support, and the ploughing cattle and farm tools in your hands need to be lent to me for free deployment."

Wu Liang finally said the purpose of his trip.

"This is nature, these things are meant to be cultivated, and they are idle anyway."

Zhu Lu said without thinking.

"In addition, Brother Yongkang also has to provide me with seeds for cultivation free of charge, otherwise I will also be a good woman who will not be able to cook without rice."

Wu Liang said again.

"Well said! The seeds are only a few dollars, and if you need it, just come to me to get it. ”

Zhu Lu said very generously.

"And."

Wu Liang continued, "Most of the tenants I have found for Brother Yongkang are lonely homeless people, and they probably don't have food until the crops are ripe...... Of course, these people must not be raised by Yongkang Xiandi, I mean, Yongkang Xiandi can first advance some food to them to make a living, and when the crops are ripe, I will supervise them and ask them to return the amount, what do you think? ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, Zhu Lu finally hesitated.

Although his granary has a lot of grain, but this maintenance will take about half a year, which is not a small amount, and if something happens during the period, how can he bear it?

"Shhh...... It is indeed inappropriate for Yongkang Xian Brother to bear this matter alone, and it is my misconsideration. ”

Wu Liang then immediately said, "It's better to give me gold, and ask Brother Yongkang to sell me the grain at half price, so that you and my brothers will each bear half of it, one will be prosperous and the other will be lost, is Brother Yongkang still worried that I will harm myself?" ”

"Talented brother, it's really not a little brother and a little family......"

Hearing this, Zhu Lu's face flushed slightly, and he waved his hand again and again to explain, "It's just that because of the importance of this matter, the younger brother really doesn't dare to make a decision, since this is what the talented brother means, then we will be half of the people, if something really goes wrong during the period, the younger brother will also have an explanation to his father." ”

"Understand, understand, then the matter is settled."

Wu Liang's heart was secretly happy, but his face was very solemn.

"I am willing to listen to the arrangement of talented brothers."

Zhu Lu arched his hand and said.

Perfect!

Bai prostituted the Zhu family's ploughing cattle, farm tools and seeds, and the grain that raised the tun people to survive the most difficult moments in the early stage could also be bought at half price.

Everything met Wu Liang's expectations, this trip was really worth it, and it was right not to send Zhu Lu back from his post, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to talk to if someone else came......

However, Wu Liang is not completely fooling Zhu Lu.

Especially after hearing Zhu Lu's views on land tax and tenant rent just now, Wu Liang's senses about this guy also changed slightly.

Although this guy is a little dull, and he is also contaminated with the bad taste of some gentlemen, he wants to give himself a dismount, but his essence is not as bad as imagined, although such a person may not be able to be called a good person in the troubled times, but he is not a big evil person.

Therefore, in his Wu Liang plan.

Whether it is promised to Zhu Lu's harvest or promised his promotion, he will definitely honor them one by one in the future, and he will not live up to this guy's blind trust in himself.

In addition, in Wu Liang's more far-reaching plan.

People like Zhu Lu are not completely useless, and there may be times when they need to cooperate in the future, and they can't do things in advance......

……

Soon after returning to the palace, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji also returned.

They had already surveyed the terrain and marked on the map the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" that Yu Ji had determined using the art of Kanyu.

Wu Liang believed in the skill of being too auspicious, so he had no opinion, and immediately decided to allocate funds and order a part of the soldiers of the Wanren army to go to the designated place to build a camp...... This expense naturally has to be reimbursed by Chen Liutaishou Cheng Yu today.

Next, Yang Wanli was ordered to take some people south to Yuzhou, which is currently ownerless, to collect the displaced people.

For example, there are so many displaced people today, Wu Liang only recruited about 2,500 people with such good conditions, it is simply not too casual, and most of the time is actually spent on the road.

After making these arrangements, there are only two days left before the Three Dynasties.

Wu Liang didn't have anything to do for the time being, so he took Dian Wei and Yu Ji back to Chenliu County, preparing to spend the New Year with Bai Jingjing and other beauties.

It didn't take long to enter the city.

Wu Liang met Wang Qing again on the street.

Although Wang Qing was still wearing filial piety at this time, he had already changed his filial piety clothes, and it seemed that the funeral of the old man of the Wang family should have been completed, and he had officially entered the stage of filial piety.

"I've seen talented brothers."

This time, although the fatigue on Wang Qing's face disappeared a little, it was replaced by a sad face, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, obviously on fire.

"Brother Yu Nian, don't come unharmed, you are ......"

Wu Liang looked at the salt shop behind Wang Qing who was picking up the signboard, and asked a little strangely.

In this era, salt is a hard currency for thieves and thieves, and it stands to reason that as long as you keep this business, it is not easy to lose money, so why do you have to take off the signboard?

"Well, don't mention it."

Wang Qing shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily......
