Chapter 417: Each Family Plans

The issue of resettlement of relocated people is a matter of words, but it is very cumbersome to do, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Moreover, for many, many ideas, Sun Xiangfu just relied on saying, and Wu Shi Tong may not understand, so at the very beginning, he still needed to go down in person to open the situation.

However, the spring ploughing after the beginning of the year in Guanzhong is also very important, when the Governor's Mansion was waiting for the results of the negotiations between Jin Sheng and Jingzhou, Sun Xiangfu also went to the Ministry of Agriculture, so that Wei Ting and Li Gongyan could do it after the Spring Festival.

Li Shimin is an emperor who attaches more importance to farming, especially when there may be a war with foreign countries this year, the last holy decree at the end of the year is to mobilize all the resources of the imperial court, closely follow the Ministry of Agriculture, and do a good job of spring plowing first.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, good news came from Jin Sheng's side, and after discussion, everyone in Jingzhou agreed with Sun Xiangfu's opinion, and eagerly began to measure the land, to eat all the official land sold, and at the same time, began to implement the declaration of the number of fields to the government, and put the hidden serfs in the official government to register and obtain the household registration of citizens.

Sun Xiangfu quickly reported the news to Chang'an, and he suggested that Li Shimin inform the whole country of the handling plan on the Jingzhou side, believing that as long as all localities draw gourds in the same way, the progress of the restructuring will be accelerated a lot, and the land squeezed in the hands of the imperial court can also quickly realize some money.

And nominally, after giving all the rights and interests of ordinary citizens, Sun Xiangfu will do the next thing.

Throughout the New Year, Cai, Huang, Kuai, Liu, Deng and several other families in Shannan Province were in high spirits, and they only spent a small amount of money to expand the land owned by their families by nearly two times, and the reason why there were so many was because in addition to the official land of the imperial court sold to them at a low price, the people in the surrounding areas of each family also sold their land to them one after another.

"What is Sun Zhengming's purpose in doing this?"

These were the most frequently asked questions during the Spring Festival, and for the sake of prudence, they held a joint meeting while reaping the land.

"Everyone should know that the imperial court replaced a large amount of land in the hands of the five surnamed seven families with the land outside the gate last year, however, when the five surnamed seven families moved out, they took away a lot of labor, and the imperial court can't let these fields be wasted! After all, these are all fields that can bring taxes to the imperial court, so it is normal for Sun Zhengming to sell these fields to us. ”

Cai Can, who is over sixty years old, has been in good spirits recently, because his Cai family has actually achieved a large-scale expansion in his hands, and after these fields are started, the Cai family has basically no worries about development within three generations.

"But I always feel that there may be something else hidden in this, think about it, not only Guantian, but also many people with their permission, also sold Yongye Tian to us, so what will those people do for a living in the future?"

Although Huang Xu also agrees with what the old patriarch of the Cai family said, he has a darker personality, but he prefers to think about things in the worst way.

He even did research on some of Sun Xiangfu's past styles, and found that he was more meaningful in dealing with a series of issues of the family before, although there were some big cooperations, such as the spice field of the Wang family, and the cauliflower planting that was later released, as well as the Cui family's shareholding in the Weinan New City project, etc., all made some money, but the recent land purchase project may not be the case, and the five surnames and seven families moved out on a large scale, and the imperial court got more benefits.

So, is he trying to make a profit this time?

After everyone reported the privately occupied land to the imperial court, the taxes that need to be paid in the future are indeed more, but he gave these lands to us for nothing.

If the imperial court investigates, these lands will not only have to be returned to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can get a large sum of money through the sale, but also, whoever will plant these lands, the taxes will have to be paid.

These, according to Jin Sheng, are the benefits that the imperial court ceded to local clans in order to implement the new policy.

But for the sake of the new policy, the imperial court is willing to concede such a big benefit, which means that after the implementation of the new policy, the imperial court will obtain greater benefits.

It's a pity that with Huang Xu's wisdom, he couldn't have imagined that the imperial court would give them all the land, and where would the benefits come from.

"I'm closer to Jingzhou in Caizhou, and there has been news recently that Wu Shitong is going to recruit these farmers who have sold their fields to go to Dongting Lake, around Honghu Lake, to repair wharves and open new fields, and he will give these people a fixed salary, thinking about it, it must be that Sun Zhengming has some new crops, which need to be planted in the wetlands along the lake."

When Cai Can told the rest of the family the news, there was a bit of greed in his eyes, and Huang Xu's heart suddenly brightened.

For the new crops of the farm, it is impossible to say that they have no ideas, but they are still self-aware, they may be okay in Shannan Road, and they can compare it with the whole country, not to mention the behemoths like the five surnames and seven families, that is, the Wei's and Yang's counties in Guanzhong, who have mastered a county, are also stronger than them.

"No wonder this is the case, it turns out that the farmer is going to make a big move again, and if they want to get things done, they need a lot of manpower, in this case, let's take the opportunity to get more fields, but there is no problem." Huang Xu, who had figured it out, nodded and said.

"You young people, looking at the problem, you can't always see the essence, no matter what the imperial court or he Sun Zhengming wants to recruit those people to do in the past, what can be wrong with us getting the land according to the conditions proposed by the imperial court?

Could it be that the fields will harm us?

The imperial court always has to rely on us to cultivate the fields to produce taxes, the more fields we plant, the more output, the more taxes the imperial court has, a good thing for both sides, how can the imperial court stumble on such a thing.

Today, I summoned your family to discuss how to plant all the fields we have in our hands, and this field has suddenly increased by two or three times, and the manpower of your families should not be enough! ”

Cai Can, relying on his age, has always regarded himself as the head of the local clan in Shannan Province, but he doesn't know that the patriarchs of the other families don't think that they are inferior to him, they are purely respecting the elderly, so they don't care about him.

"The imperial court has given us profits in land matters, they want some people to open up new fields and plant new crops, we can't compete with them, otherwise, their affairs will not be done, but I am afraid that we will not be better."

Although the original hidden serfs under our families have to go to the Yamen to register as a citizen, the policy of the imperial court is that even the five surnames and seven families cannot fight against it, let alone us. However, Sun Zhengming also left room for him, he did not divide the fields for our subordinates according to their household registration, that is to say, nominally they are free, but in fact, they still have to live by farming land for our families, this is the compromise of the imperial court for all families, and the seven families with five surnames also did this, at present, we have no actual loss if we maintain a tacit understanding with the imperial court.

However, there are more fields, we are not enough, we have to find a way to solve, I heard that there are a lot of new farm tools in Guanzhong, which can make farmers more labor-saving and fast, and later the farm tool factory in Weinan will produce a large number of these farm tools, we can jointly place a large order for them, not only the price will be much cheaper, the quantity is large, they also have a large ship responsible for home delivery.

Of course, this is only one of them, the key is still in the manpower, we can't compete with the court locally for those people who have sold their land, but we can send people to the surrounding barren counties to recruit people, anyway, after those people have a new household registration, they can freely enter and leave the field, and even the yamen can't control it, we have to start as soon as possible, and gather it, even if we give them the treatment of tenants, we will also make a lot of money. ”

Kuai Zhao himself has been in Guanzhong for the past two years, he has seen the farming efficiency and output there, is familiar with the policies there, and some news in the market.

He even planned to get some skilled farmers in Guanzhong to come to his door to plant some cotton, courgette and other crops to sell locally in Shannan Province, but at present, those people he contacted had not yet mastered the full set of techniques for seed retention and seedling raising, and after he made such a suggestion to the rest of the families, the patriarchs of the rest of the families also nodded one after another.

However, he also gave Huang Xu a wake-up call, and thought of a big question, saying, "The new household registration policy does not prohibit people from going out, what if someone pays a high price and beats the idea of several of our family members?" ”

His mention made everyone suddenly realize this problem, not to mention, the warrior Tong is still recruiting people to work, young and strong laborers, but the monthly salary is consistent, and they are also in charge of two meals, and their subordinate manpower, if they receive the news, they also run over to work, then, in addition to the children of their own clan, those people with foreign surnames are afraid that they will all have to run out, could it be that Sun Zhengming is waiting for them here?

However, after thinking about it carefully, they ruled out this possibility, the money for a month is too high, and it is impossible for the imperial court to recruit people on a large scale with this treatment, because the imperial court cannot afford to raise it, after all, now the imperial court is going to war with Goguryeo, and the financial situation is difficult, it is said that it has owed tens of millions of dollars to the Qianzhuang, and it is impossible to make such a huge investment in internal development.

Therefore, they thought that the number of people to be recruited by the samurai must be very limited, but they had to find a way to prevent it, and after everyone discussed it, they thought that they could make a fuss about the new labor agreement made by the imperial court.

Now their subordinate people, do not believe in the court very much, as long as they explain the benefits and stakes clearly, believe, do not need to pay any price, they can sign a long-term contract with them, tie them to death in their own family, the past has proved that the people give them these clans to farm, at least to ensure that they do not starve to death, and if they plant themselves, they may not even have food to eat, work for the court, use you when there is something to do, give you a high salary, when the thing is done, you have no income, and their fields, But it needs to be cultivated every year, so you don't have to worry about running out of food in the future.

In fact, the current requirements of most people for life are just to have a stable meal, and these local clans that have been operating for a hundred years know their psychology best.

Sun Xiangfu, who was in the samurai group, considered all the issues they discussed early on, and when Shanyang introduced the labor protection law, he thought of protecting the vulnerable, so he formulated a lot of hard rules.

Therefore, these companies in Jingzhou, if they want to rely on labor agreements to tie the people to death under their hands for life, it is definitely impossible to achieve, and those interns sent by the imperial court will have model contracts on them, and contracts that do not conform to hard regulations have no legal effect at all.

Of course, at the moment, he will not dig a lot of corners of these houses, because, as they think, the imperial court does not have so much money for the time being, and everyone is paid a high salary, and the reason why this recruitment is just to set an example for the people, telling them that in addition to farming, there is another way to work to earn money, and establish their confidence in the imperial court.
