The founder of these new policies is Xie Zhi, and everything needs to be checked by him, so as to ensure that everything goes without mistakes.

On top of some small things, Xie Zhi doesn't have to go to the gate, and when it comes to those big problems, Xie Zhi is still very attentive.

Spring ploughing is underway, and the most important things for me have to be solved in these aspects.

After Emperor Hongzhi looked at the title deeds, he ordered that all these land deeds be placed in the Ministry of Agriculture.

Although the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture is not Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi, as a special adviser, has the absolute right to speak on some matters of the Ministry of Agriculture.

In addition, those officials up and down the Ministry of Agriculture were all pulled up by Xie Zhi.

Although these people are all Jinshi who take the road of the imperial examination and read the Four Books and Five Classics to get into the official career, they are not allowed to be reused in the yamen on weekdays, and their ambitions are not demonstrated, so they are Xie to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Although the Ministry of Agriculture is a new yamen, many courtiers are not very optimistic about this new yamen, and they are not respected when they walk outside on weekdays, but the yamen, which is most supported by the emperor and trusted by the people, is full of vitality everywhere.

There is a sense of vigor and vigor, which makes them willing to work hard.

Duan Qiwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Jinshi of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, was the same year as Xie Zhi, when Xie Zhi wrote the policy at the gate of the Gongyuan, Duan Qiwen was also present, and Xie Zhi wrote five policy treatises with his own eyes.

admired Xie Zhi's five-body throw, and after that, he also copied Xie Zhi's strategy, recited and studied, until now, Xie Zhi's memory of the five policies he had written was not very clear, and Duan Qiwen could even recite it.

At the beginning, when Emperor Hongzhi decreed that Xie Zhi was allowed to select talents for the Ministry of Agriculture, this Duan Qiwen had already served in the Hanlin Academy, and he could have entered the Hanlin Academy, and the future was unlimited, but that Duan Qiwen was partial to Xie Zhi himself, and wanted to enter the Ministry of Agriculture to assist Xie Zhi to build a rich and powerful Ming.

Although Xie Zhi was indeed short of people at that time, and this Duan Qiwen was still an excellent person in terms of his own talents, Xie Zhi was still not at ease, and sent someone to check it in detail, and after checking it again, the eight generations of the ancestors had found it clear.

After checking it out, it was confirmed that this Duan Qiwen had no other thoughts, and Xie Zhi was relieved, so he arranged the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.

After almost a year old, Duan Qiwen is still quite orderly in taking care of some major and minor affairs.

Xie Zhi entered the Ministry of Agriculture with the title deed, and Duan Qiwen greeted him, shouting with a smile: "Yunzhonghou, you are finally here, spring plowing is about to begin, but the Ministry of Agriculture is not able to help, I am really a little anxious." ”

Looking like this, do you seem to be in a hurry?

Speaking of the matter of spring ploughing, it is really urgent, Xie Zhi did not joke about this matter, and said: "All the land deeds that should be taken back have been taken back, you immediately start to count the direct land deeds, and after that, immediately promulgate the policy of the imperial court, call farmers to plant, remember, it must be farmers, these farmers plant, the first year is all tax-free, planting is encouraged, and the amount of tax to pay in the next year will be determined according to the situation of each place." ”

Farmers are meant to farm the land, and if all the farmers are working, who else will farm the land.

The amount of money earned by working is much higher than that of farming, and in this case, the only way to encourage farmers to plant is to do so.

Duan Qiwen responded: "No problem, I'll be ready tomorrow." ”

Duan Qiwen was so excited, Xie Zhi didn't say much, and said after a long time: "In addition, a new rule will be added, those who reclaim land by themselves will be exempted from tax for five years, and one more article will be added to this new regulation, which must be mined by farmers, artisan households, etc., not tax-exempt, and those mined by the gentry and relatives will be fined one hundred taels of silver per mu in addition to confiscation." ”

A new regulation has to take all aspects into account, and even if it is considered in such detail, in the end, there will still be people who take advantage of the loopholes.

Duan Qiwen responded: "No problem, new regulations will be promulgated next day, and we will definitely be able to plant crops on these fields after the spring ploughing is over." ”

Xie Zhi also knows that this matter is not simple, and it is more difficult than taking back the land from those teachers and students.

After Duan Qiwen answered, Xie Zhi didn't say much, and ordered: "Leave 1,000 mu in each province for your own use, and all the rest are allowed to go out, so do it as soon as possible." ”

Duan Qiwen's speed was still very fast, and after a few hours, he specified a detailed policy according to Xie Zhi's meaning.

It was formulated at any time according to Xie Zhi's intentions, but they could not directly promulgate it by the Ministry of Agriculture, and it had to be stamped with the emperor's seal to be effective.

After Duan Qiwen got it done, he took it directly to Xie Zhi, and after Xie Zhi saw it, he went directly to Emperor Hongzhi.

Those policies are not much different from what Xie Zhi said, they are nothing more than written on paper, which is more three-dimensional.

Seeing these contents, Emperor Hongzhi was a little melancholy, and said: "If this decree is promulgated, those who have sold their land at the price of cabbage will probably know immediately that their land has been cheated away by the imperial court, and dissatisfaction may rise soon." ”

This is for sure, those people hurriedly sold the land of their ancestors for several generations, and found out that it was manipulated by the imperial court in a few days, so can they balance their hearts?

Xie Zhi replied: "In this regard, the Fumin Bank, including the group that will be established, can still let them earn silver, only more than before, and never less than before, in this way, the problem of land annexation that existed in the past dynasties can also be solved, the most important thing is that if you do this, the grain is controlled by the imperial court, and there is no need to go through the hands of those families. ”

At this time, even if Emperor Hongzhi wanted to regret it, he had no chance.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was worried, he still said: "Just release it according to this policy, those who are willing to farm, after verifying their identities, the Ministry of Agriculture will issue a new title deed and register a new yellow book." ”

On this issue, Xie Zhi can think more clearly than Emperor Hongzhi, as long as Emperor Hongzhi agrees, Xie Zhi will definitely be able to do a good job in the future.

Regarding Emperor Hongzhi's instructions, Xie Zhi swore solemnly: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, the minister will be able to complete this matter." ”

Soon, a new policy was promulgated by the imperial court, and farmers who were willing to farm the land would be granted land by the imperial court and exempt from tax for the first year.

If you can allow yourself to farm, not to mention exempting yourself from taxes for one year, even if you are exempt from taxes for one year, there are many people who are willing to plant.

As soon as this policy was introduced, the farmers who were the first to be interested in it began to be suspicious, saying, "Is this true? Give us the land, and the first year is tax-free. ”

"Of course it's true, this can still be fake, who dares to spread rumors at the foot of the imperial city, haven't you seen it, last night there was a fast horse from the Ministry of Agriculture to spread the policy of the imperial court to other places, I heard that after that, the Ministry of Agriculture will also appoint officials stationed in a state and county to deal with this matter."

"Go back early, you can be tax-free, there must be a lot of people who want to farm, if you go back late, there will definitely be no land."

All of a sudden, all the displaced people from all over the country rushed to their hometowns.

The number of displaced people waiting to work outside the workshops in various states and counties was even less for a while.

With the influx of displaced people, although there is no shortage of manpower in the workshops in various states and counties, they have gradually begun to prosper, but there are too many displaced people coming over.

People who can't find work to do, there are a lot of people, these people can't find any work, so they can only live outside the workshop, and they haven't worked for a long time, so naturally they have no food to eat, and if they can't eat, they can only think of some other way.

Therefore, the outside of those workshops was very unstable, and in order to protect the safety of the merchants, the government offices of the prefectures and counties had to be stationed outside to guard the outside, and once a situation occurred, they were immediately arrested and detained without mercy.

Even so, such situations are not uncommon and happen from time to time.

Therefore, if these workshops want to improve steadily, they must find a suitable way out for those displaced people.

The displaced people who flocked to the various states and counties left one after another, and the errand officers on duty here were able to rest.

Some people are still envious, and said: "This person couldn't fill his stomach before, but now he can go back to farming, and he doesn't collect taxes in the first year, no matter how much grain he grows, it's all his own, but he can't be careful, if he doesn't have this errand, he also wants to farm." ”
