is like what Liu Yu instilled in the steamed buns on weekdays, or like the steamed buns that he told Du Feng's sister at the beginning.

The abolition of the lowly and serial slaves in Dashun was not because of the kindness of a certain emperor, but because of the bloody sacrifices of the slaves in Jiangnan, which made it impossible for the old system to continue to exist, and the continuous uprisings led to an increase in the cost of rule.

Dashun vulgarized and idolized the king of the bulldoz, and made it a kind of acquiescence obscenity, which was finally not prohibited, and it was more or less a kind of progress.

The story that Bai Yunhang heard in his hometown, and the eternal tenant right that he saw with his own eyes when he was a county magistrate in Fujian. The popularization of perpetual tenant rights is actually similar to the abolition of lowly status and slavery.

Although this concept has appeared as early as the Song Dynasty and has been developed in the Ming Dynasty, what really made the Yongdian power take root in Jiangnan was because of the Jiangnan Uprising in the year of Jiashen.

Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian...... These places where the perpetual tenant right is most popular are also the places where the Jiashen Uprising was most ferocious.

The critique of weapons makes the case clear.

Although it is said that the gentry in some places back then, with the help of the Manchu butcher's knife, were triumphant: "The slaves say that slaves should not rest with heaven and earth, and they are real slaves." The husband has heaven and earth, and there are kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and masters and servants. If heaven and earth remain unchanged, so will monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, masters and servants. The righteousness of the master and servant is open to heaven and earth".

But resistance makes sense after all.

The butcher's knife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was no better than the butcher's knife of Dashun, and a large number of slaves, tenants, and remnants of the rebel army were thrown into Dashun, even if Dashun and the Jiangnan gentry compromised, but they did not continue the policy of being too cruel and dark, at least dismantling the large landlord manor system in Jiangnan.

Nonsense such as the right to remove the night and avoid it has also been abolished.

In Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, a wave of mosquito prisons similar to the "ban on red-maned fierce horses" has been created.

A group of large landlords were arrested and asked what they meant by letting the tenants "avoid secrecy". Avoidance only exists in the monarch and relatives, tenants are not relatives, engage in avoidance, are you preparing to be the emperor?

Dashun compromised and did not engage in Juntian in Jiangnan.

The result of the compromise was the acquiescence of perpetual tenants in some of the places where the revolt was most severe: the land of the rich was not equalized, but the interests of the tenants were duly guaranteed.

Coupled with the budding development of capitalism in the Jiangnan area, some "unsellable" fields such as school fields and sacrificial fields began to be tenants forever.

There are those called field skins and field bones; Some are called the bottom of the field and the surface of the field; There are those called big buys and small buys, and the meanings are almost the same.

Shandong is not the south of the Yangtze River, the sprout is not so strong, and it was on the front line of the anti-Qing Dynasty back then, and suffered too many massacres, and the perpetual tenant system here is not too popular.

Bai Yunhang's meaning is that the state government will come forward and force the permanent tenant.

On the premise of not moving the "landlord land ownership system," he carried out appropriate reforms and resolved the contradictions in a way similar to rent and interest reductions, and at the same time paved the way for his policy of apportioning land to the mu.

Now this policy has not been announced, only Liu Yu and a few other people know about it, but the inventory of acres has been completed.

Bai Yunhang didn't want to do anything about Juntian and Jingtian, because he knew that this thing was nonsense at all, and it wouldn't work at all now.

And if you do that, you will definitely die.

But he didn't want the policies he had easily come up with and the policies that he could easily get promoted, and there would be big problems in their implementation.

According to his calculations, if he can implement the apportionment of the land into the mu, and if he can start the industry and commerce according to Liu Yu's guarantee, he can increase a lot of taxes in Wendeng Prefecture, which is a huge political achievement, and it is also a major basis for his future promotion.

Although Bai Yunhang did not dare to be as imaginative as Yan Yuan, he wanted to reduce the land rent to 40% and let the tenants have land ownership after 30 years.

But he compromised and kept the original rent of about 55%, and slightly lowered it to 50%.

The wealthy households were required to divide the fields into skins and bones, and the wealthy households had ownership, and the tenants had the right to use them for a long time, for a period of 30 years.

The yamen will act as a guarantee and sign a contract to keep the original level of government rent unchanged, slightly lowered, and not to be changed for 30 years.

If the landlord sells the land, then the tenant with the perpetual right has priority.

Within 30 years, the tenant has the absolute right to use the land, but the tenant needs to pay the tax per acre. After the abolition of the per capita tax, the comparison between the number of acres of land and the number of people in the curve, as well as the slight reduction in land rent, made the tax and land rent paid by the tenants of the perpetual tenant basically the same as before.

In later generations, there was a "375 rent reduction", which can probably be called a "50 rent reduction", which stipulates that the land rent shall not exceed 50%.

If it can be implemented, regardless of the intention and the purpose, it will be regarded as a great good government.

In addition, he also asked Liu Yu to give out a part of the grain to make a warehouse capital, and tried to reuse Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method in Wendeng to reduce the interest rate, and tenants with perpetual tenant rights could receive low-interest loans.

Anyway, if Liu Yu wants to engage in industry and commerce, not only does he need money, but the more than 10,000 recruited victims don't give money at all now, but people also consume a lot of grain in a year.

Bai Yunhang calculated an account with the help of Liu Yu's previous inventory.

If it can be implemented, the entire Wendeng Prefecture will have one-third of the yeoman farmers and one-half of the perpetual tenant tenant farmers, who are the main force of tax payment.

He doesn't care about the rest at all, those people can't collect the money, and it's troublesome to manage.

If it continues, it will definitely trap some big landlords.

But as long as the big landlords did not coerce the tenants into trouble, he was not afraid. What he is afraid of is that the big landlord will coerce the tenants into trouble and make a five-person tombstone or something like that, so he won't want to be promoted.

He also knew that although the idea was good, it would definitely not be possible to implement it by relying only on the government office. If it depends on the local gentry and talents, if this can be promoted, it will be a hell of a thing: let the gentry cut their own flesh?

Talking about the general idea to Liu Yu, Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Lord Bai, do you know that Wang Jinggong's change failed?" You don't really think that this permanent tenant method and the green seedling method can be promoted nationwide, right? ”

Bai Yunhang also knew about Liu Yu's personality, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu thinks highly of me." Da is also helping the world, and now the lower officials have not yet reached, and they are still pursuing Da. ”

"It is naturally impossible to promote it nationwide. But I promote it in my state, I have excellent assessments, and everyone praises me, so I don't care if I can promote it across the country? ”

"The so-called, not in his position, not in his politics. I am not a scholar, nor am I a Heavenly Blessing Palace. I'm only in charge of Wendenzhou, and there's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

Liu Yu gave Bai Yunhang a thumbs up and praised: "Master Bai has a great level, I admire it." Cheng, I also understand what Lord Bai meant, and you want to ask me to borrow someone to promote, right? ”

Bai Yunhang nodded and observed Liu Yu's face.

"Lord Liu, this matter of eternal tenant power has to be borrowed from your people. As for the Seedlings Method, it also needs to be bothered by adults. In fact, I also know that the interest rate on borrowing is extremely high nowadays. If you change someone else, you naturally refuse. But Lord Liu doesn't seem to care about money? ”

"Don't ......," Liu Yu hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't put a top hat on me. It's not that I don't care about money, it's that I care about money. It's just that I have my own bottom line, and when I was fighting in the north, I said that I had my own bottom line, and I was not allowed to insult women after the city was broken. As for the bottom line at the local level, I don't engage in usury. ”

"One, that's the bottom line."

"Second, the interest rate of usury is so high, and the land rent is so high, that gold and silver are profit-seeking. All the money went to usury and land, and naturally no one paid for industry and commerce. If you want to practice the Seedlings Law here, it will also be good for me, because if the Seedlings Law lowers the interest rate in the future, there will naturally be rich people who will invest their money in industry and commerce, and the lower the interest rate, the more they will invest in industry and commerce. I support this. ”

"But there's one thing."

Bai Yunhang nodded and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

"In the matter of the Seedlings Law, I will contribute the share capital, and my people will take care of it. The people of the yamen should not be involved, and Lord Bai should not take this as a merit, otherwise he will be attacked. It's good to just implement it in one place, or rather, it's not the credit of Lord Bai, but the business behavior I engaged. ”

Bai Yunhang was not ready to regard the Qingmiao Law as his own merit, Wang Anshi's example was placed in front, if this thing was neglected in the imperial court, he would have to be sprayed to death.

The implementation of Wendeng Prefecture can stabilize the local area, increase taxes, discourage annexation, and make it easier for the people to pay taxes, which is very useful for his political achievements.

If it is implemented well, the political achievements will be remarkable, and it will be one step closer to the dream of "being excellent in the assessment and becoming an official in Beijing".

I was embarrassed to beg Liu Yu for this, but fools know that money makes money, and the best way is not to engage in industry and commerce, but to buy land and rent land and make usury.

Thinking that Liu Yu was a fool who actually wanted to engage in industry and commerce, and he was also in need of food, he thought about begging Liu Yu to borrow some food to make the green seedling method.

Since Liu Yu took the initiative to take the lead, this couldn't be better. Merchant behavior should naturally be greatly rewarded.

Moreover, if the green seedling law is carried out, those usurers will inevitably be dissatisfied.

If Liu Yu does it, it will be much simpler.

Complaints? If you are dissatisfied, you can hire outlaws to storm the military camp on Liugong Island.

was worried that no one would block the gun in this matter, Liu Yu took the initiative to bring it up, and Bai Yunhang was 10,000 willing.

"Lord Liu did this, and I really don't know how to thank him. To put it bluntly, people are dead and the government is over, and I will be transferred to other places in the future, and adults will not train troops on Liugong Island, and these good governance will be finished after all. But even if it is finally over, doing some at this time can be regarded as some benefit to the people. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "If Lord Bai is promoted to the envoy of the festival degree in the future, it will already be regarded as the end, will he still carry out such a policy of great efforts and disproportionate returns at that time?" ”

"Uh...... If you tell a lie, you will. If you tell the truth, I'm afraid it may not be. It's not that there is no mercy for the people, but if you really raise the degree of moderation, how many people will be needed to carry out the affairs of a province? It's not a no-do, it's really not a no-no. Wendeng Prefecture was able to implement the new policy, thanks to the fact that Lord Liu was stationed here, and there were hundreds of people who could serve as officials. In the future, when I am promoted to the rank of knot, where can I find so many people? Besides, if I have so many capable people in my hands, I am afraid that someone will join me and say that I am supporting officials and plotting against me. ”

What he said seems to be sincere, but it is also true and false.

There is also a bit of reciprocation, secretly reminding Liu Yu not to make such a thing too big, so as not to misunderstand or be suspicious from above.

Liu Yu heard that the last accented sentence of "conspiracy" reminded him, so he nodded gratefully and said with a smile: "I wrote down Lord Bai's words." This matter is settled, and I will settle it when I return. ”

Bai Yunhang knew that Liu Yu was acting strangely, and there were some things that he shouldn't ask, but at this time, he couldn't help asking, "Where does Lord Liu want to go?" When will you return? ”

"Go and don't collect it that night, scout and scout the terrain, hahahaha...... Lord Bai can rest assured, he will be able to return in three or five months, and he will not delay his business. Lord Bai, let's say goodbye and leave. ”

"Don't take it at night?" Bai Yunhang stared at Liu Yu's back, and said in his heart that this was strange.
