Xu Jie occupies 240,000 acres of land, and he doesn't know how many people's jaws have dropped, but now he actually invited 360,000 hectares, which shows how many people have landed in these clans, and the key is not to pay taxes.

With the current land and population of Daming, Zhu Yijun is not against the existence of large landowners, and besides, it is about to reach the Xiaoice River period, and there is no panic in his heart when he has food.

The taxes that Zhu Yijun cares about, you still don't pay taxes for so many places, this is not appropriate.

The land owned by the nobles and the clan according to the title is fixed, and these lands are also not taxed, which is in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. However, the hidden land does not comply with the rules, and it is a complete hooligan.

"What are you going to do with these lands?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.

"The minister is ready to give heaven to the landless people." Zhang Juzheng bowed down and said: "After all, these lands also need to be cultivated, and the land will be distributed to the people, and the people who originally planted these lands also have a way to live." ”

"The whole court will also be able to receive more taxes, which is a double thing."

Zhang Juzheng's method sounds good, but Zhu Yijun thinks it's not good, if he really wants to do this, he can't get any money, it's not in vain. As for paying taxes, Zhu Yijun can only hehe.

If you divide it, it will still be the same in a few years, but this is not good.

is different from Zhang Juzheng's idea, what Zhu Yijun wants is to pay taxes for the whole people, even if it is the emperor himself. After all, the inner treasury and the imperial village are the private property of the emperor, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's inner treasury are still very clearly divided.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty was not land annexation, but that the imperial court had no money and could not collect taxes.

Zhu Yijun has long seen this clearly, the imperial court has money to buy grain and store grain, store grain in good years, and ensure grain prices, so as not to hurt the peasants in the cheap grain, release grain in disaster years, and help the victims, just because there is no money, you have no money to buy grain, and the poor are pants, this is the fundamental problem.

If you tie all your manpower to the land, what will you do later? There's a lot of things that need people in the future.

"I think these lands might as well be sold!" Zhu Yijun said lightly: "Whether it is a noble or a gentry, as long as you want it, you can buy it all with money." The imperial court could hold another land transaction in each province, and the highest price would be awarded. ”

Zhu Yijun felt that these lands would definitely be sold for a lot of money, and he would be able to do a lot of things at that time.

"Of course, you can't afford not to pay taxes, these lands are all registered, and whoever buys them still has to pay the taxes they should pay every year."

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, would anyone buy it like this? Zhang Juzheng felt that it was unlikely.

Land production is limited, and the reason why the people are willing to cash in is because the tenant rent is lower than the tax. The landlord rents out the land and is exempt from taxes, and the rent paid is his income, and if the rent has to be taxed, it will definitely cause the rent to rise.

Tenant farmers are responsible for both rent and taxes, which is a lot of pressure!

The yield of the land is low, and the tenant farmers are afraid that they will not even have enough to eat!

Zhang Juzheng shook his head like a rattle, explained the matter to Zhu Yijun seriously, and clearly told Zhu Yijun that it was not okay to do this. Originally, these lands were all tenant farmers, and if you sell them back now, those noble clans will only intensify their exploitation of tenant farmers.

A family of five tenant farmers are desperately farming and paying land rent and field tax, and I am afraid that they will be half hungry!

"Zhang Whale, go and bring something to Mr.!" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale, the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and said to Zhang Whale with a smile.

Zhang Whale agreed, and then ordered the little eunuch to get something.

It didn't take long for a few little eunuchs to walk in with a tray, and Zhu Yijun also walked down from the dragon chair and came to the front of the tray. Stretched out his hand and picked up a round thing, and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, this is called a potato!" ”

"I can cook and satisfy my hunger, this one is boiled, this one is baked, Mr. try it."

Zhang Juzheng looked at the round balls in his hand, reached out and broke a piece, then took a bite, which was very soft, and nodded.

"The land can be stored for a few months without being bad, and the yield per mu is 3,000 catties!" Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "In my imperial village, the highest yield was in the year, and the yield per mu reached 5,000 catties. ”

"How much?" Zhang Juzheng didn't believe his ears a little: "Five thousand catties? ”

Zhang Juzheng has been busy being an official all these years, and he has no mind about farming, in fact, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are all this virtue.

The promotion of land and sweet potatoes even had to wait until Xu Guangqi during the Chongzhen period. After Zhu Yijun came to Daming, he asked people to find seeds and let people plant, and now it's finally time to take them out, this is an artifact.

"This is called sweet potato, with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, this is roasted, Mr. taste it, I like to eat it the most." As he spoke, Zhu Yijun broke a piece of roasted sweet potato and handed it to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng picked it up and took a bite, this can also yield thousands of catties per mu?

Zhu Yijun picked up another piece of corn, and then said to Zhang Juzheng: "This is called corn, it is grain, you can grind noodles, this is a cornmeal cake, Mr. taste it, it tastes good." ”

Zhu Yijun didn't eat the cornmeal cake, and it was not a steamed bun with noodles, so he was a little choked and had a hard time eating.

Zhang Juzheng broke a piece of corn tortilla and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this, this." ”

"These are all planted by me in Huangzhuang, it has been several years, I was still thinking about how to promote them, and this time is a good opportunity. For those who buy land, Huangzhuang can provide seeds. ”

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "After planting these things, paying the rent and field tax, the tenant farmers can also eat enough, by the way, the land rent is dead." ”

"For these people who buy land, the rent can only be collected in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, and it is not okay to collect more, but it is okay to collect less, this is called the upper limit, and they cannot be allowed to collect rent indiscriminately. The taxes of the imperial court are all fixed, how can the land rent be collected indiscriminately. ”

"As for how to convince them of the yield of these crops, I think no one would dare to doubt Mr. I'm going to say it, right?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded, of course, if you dare to doubt his words with the emperor today, you will have lived enough.

"Zhang Whale of the East Factory of the Society went out of Beijing with the holy decree, and auctioned one place at a time, and the corresponding seeds were also brought over. There will be people who are familiar with planting in the Huangzhuang and teach them how to grow these things. ”

Zhang Juzheng listened to Zhu Yijun's words, why is he, the emperor's student, ready?

"What do you think of my arrangement, sir?" Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Naturally, it's good." ”

Now Zhang Juzheng is skeptical about the output of grain, and everything else is good, and if he can really do it, there will be many benefits. The people have to live, and the court can also get a lot of money.
