Chapter 302: Selling Land
Not long after Xie Zhi returned home, Xie Qian entered the door.
After Xie Qian entered the door, his face was still not good-looking.
Xie Zhi, who was holding red paper and preparing to write Spring Festival couplets, saw Xie Qian coming back, and asked with a smile, "Dad, are you back?" ”
Xie Qian didn't seem to hear it, so he didn't pay attention to Xie Zhi at all.
Xie Zhi said again: "Dad, don't be angry, my son is just joking, if my father doesn't like it, my son won't talk about it in the future, Dad, my brothers are not here, this year's Spring Festival couplet, or my father and son will write it together, and my son will not be busy alone." ”
Xie Zhi said a lot, and in the end, he only got a cold snort from Xie Qian.
Although there was a cold snort, to a large extent, Xie Qian still answered this matter.
are all literate, and the writing of these Spring Festival couplets will not write those that have been established, and they are basically written on the spot.
And basically, there will be no recurrence every year.
Xie Zhi was concerned about his father's feelings, and deliberately slowed down a little.
His father is also a university scholar who mixes pens, if he can't write a Spring Festival couplet compared to his own son, how can he get by on face?
After the Spring Festival couplets were written, Xie Zhi took He Liang and began to post them.
After pasting the Spring Festival couplets, it is time to prepare lunch.
Just after lunch, several brothers of the Xie family rushed back one after another.
Under the promotion of Xie Zhi, several people all studied hard, don't look at Xie Zhi and they are both in the clouds, but they haven't seen each other for several months.
Of course, Xie Zhi knew that the most difficult question to ask before the exam was how well he was reviewing, but for this question, Xie Zhi still wanted to ask, and said, "How do you feel about the review?" ”
A few people didn't even give Xie Zhi a good look, and they didn't even pay attention to him.
Can you still have fun with this, isn't it just asking how the revision is? As for that?
Soon, the reunion dinner was put on the table, and after eating the reunion dinner, Xie Zhi's brothers all returned to the clouds.
On the first day of junior high school, Xie Zhi had already begun to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armed Forces.
The original officers of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate were all pulled up by Xie Zhi, although Zhu Houzhao said that he managed it for a period of time, but these people are still Xie Zhi's people.
Many things are handled in the same way as Xie Zhi used to.
So for these things, Xie Zhi can also handle them well.
When Xie Zhi was handling the affairs of the Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate step by step, Emperor Hongzhi's new spring plowing policy had already been issued.
Originally, many gentry were dissatisfied with the fact that a stone was taken away from an acre by the imperial court, but the imperial court still implemented this decree to the end when it was ploughing in the spring.
This made many gentry dissatisfied, one stone of grain per mu, and they had to feed those gentry for several months, and in the end, they could get a stone of grain in their hands It was already very little.
What is this called, I originally thought that there was food in my hands, which was the most stable and profitable, but now it seems that only business is the most profitable.
As early as the previous autumn harvest, some people have thought of this problem, and since they think of this problem, they must put it into practice.
A lot of people have started to invest in those workshops.
The things in those workshops are already luxuriant, and since there are people involved, it must stimulate the flourishing of these trades.
At the time of spring ploughing, after the imperial decree began to be announced, some people had such thoughts again, and driven by the interests of some people who had already earned a lot of silver in one winter, another group of people joined in.
The gentry who could earn money from the workshops naturally became less enthusiastic about these lands than the gentry who had a lot of silver.
Since they are not keen on the land, these fields will naturally be empty.
All of a sudden, the land hanging out of the tooth row was several times more than it was when it was usually at its most luxuriant.
And if it is put aside in the spring of the past, it is the time of spring ploughing, and a lot of land is in short supply, how can it be sold in the tooth shop.
After the autumn harvest, when more people went to the workshop to buy and sell, Xie Zhi had already expected this situation.
When Emperor Hongzhi received the news from the factory guards and summoned Xie Zhi into the palace to mention this issue, Xie Zhi was not the slightest surprised, and replied indifferently: "Since this is the case, then it is accepted, now at this time, it is an excellent time to acquire, the court has land, which can not only solve the problem of land annexation that exists now, but also solve it, and the situation that the court is balanced by teachers and students is not the best of both worlds?" ”
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi knew that a large amount of land was in the hands of the imperial court, and this disadvantage that the imperial court was currently facing could be solved.
It's just that why this situation happened was something that Emperor Hongzhi couldn't predict.
To be honest, these things were all caused by Xie Zhi, and since there are differences between Emperor Hongzhi, it is up to Xie Zhi to explain.
Xie Zhi replied: "Those gentry must be looking for the most advantageous storage of wealth, in the past, the value of the land was the greatest, they had to desperately grab it, now there is no one to cultivate, they want the land is just barren in their hands, then they choose to buy and sell, so as to collect a large amount of silver, the land will soon be vacated, now at this time, the imperial court can be the most advantageous place to acquire a large area of land, to turn all these lands into official land, before the imperial court got only one stone of grain in the hand, and so on to become official land, Those five stones and ten stones are all possible.
Once the grain produced by those seedlings has multiplied, it will inevitably increase the price of land, and what Your Majesty has to do now is to hang out the official land and even some imperial villages, creating the illusion that the land will fall sharply in a large area, so that more people will hang up the fields, and the imperial court will buy them on a large scale. ”
Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand these twists and turns, so Xie Zhi had to explain them in detail.
After explaining word by word for a long time, Emperor Hongzhi understood it.
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi began to act, and for a while, the land hanging out of the tooth line was directly as high as tens of thousands of acres.
The shopkeepers were completely unaware of this problem.
In a place called Feng's Yaxing, a shopkeeper was counting the fields hanging in his place, and a person walked up, took out a stack of land deeds, and said, "Shopkeeper, hang these up." ”
When the shopkeeper saw so many land deeds, although he knew that the person in front of him was just a servant, he did not dare to slack off.
Hurriedly beckoned the guy to do an inventory.
The main thing to check is whether the title deed is true, in fact, to check how much land there is, and to keep accounts.
After the inventory, the guy looked incredulous and reported: "The shopkeeper has 23,000 acres. ”
After the man checked, the man said: "This is the savings of my lord for several generations, I don't want to expose the book, and now I see that there are no cultivators, these lands will become more and more worthless, my lord is in a hurry to sell, and when the spring ploughing passes, these lands can only be more worthless, so the first thing my lord told is that the price of this land can be lower, and it must be sold as soon as possible,"
The shopkeeper saw that the customer was so big, and he was a lot more enthusiastic, and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't worry, you will definitely sell it as soon as possible." ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper took the account book from the man's hand and said, "I don't know which house it is?" ”
The servant did not reveal his identity, and replied: "My lord's identity is special, and it is not easy to be exposed, you remember that it is below, and it is Xiao San under the name, and if there is any need to communicate in the future, you can come directly here." ”
The shopkeeper can also understand that there are really many people who are reluctant to reveal their identities, and nodded in response: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say..."
After that, the shopkeeper's pen recorded the word Xiao San on the paper.
After the record, Xiao San took the title deed and said: "This thing will stay with you, if someone trades directly, my lord is in a hurry to send a caravan out and exchange it for cash as soon as possible." ”
has developed to the present, even if there is no need to advise, no one is deliberately using Daming treasure banknotes.
Not to mention that ordinary people no longer use it, but the imperial court no longer prints it.
Many rewards need to be exchanged with others when they need to be used in Daming treasure money.
This Ming treasure banknote may have solved some problems at the beginning, but it later became a financial burden to the imperial court.
