"How do you want to realize the publicization? You can't just take away people's land, right? ”

Song Yingxing said.

"Of course not, for those who know the general amount to redeem and recover, but will not find banknotes, but specialized land vouchers, the nature of which is similar to that of government bonds, and also has a certain amount of interest, with a term from one year to fifty years. These land vouchers are paid according to the amount of land, and then cashed out in batches in the next 50 years, don't worry about cashing, as long as I Yang Qing is still here, there will be no such thing as not cashing. ”

Yang Qing said.

As for those who don't know the general situation, it goes without saying.

Redemption is a must.

If you really want to say that there will be a civil war to forcibly recover, but it is impossible to redeem all the land in the whole country with money, and it is said that the silver stock in the whole country is not enough to pay the land price. The number after Zhang Juzheng was more than 700 million mu in the country, more than half of which was in the area controlled by the current imperial court, although a large number of imperial villages were established before, but the gentry controlled at least more than 300 million mu. There is still a big gap between the land that Huangzhuang can control and the gentry, but there are more around Nanjing, but outside Nanjing, it is usually good to have a militia brigade in a state capital, and it is impossible at the county level, and the gentry are everywhere.

They still control the vast majority of the land.

This is not counting the hidden fields that must exist in their hands, in fact, no matter how he checks, the hidden fields will exist more or less, the meridian boundary of the household department cannot be really so strict, and it is not uncommon for those meridian teams to be bought. Even if these gentry control more than 300 million mu, one tael of silver per mu of land will cost more than 300 million taels! The current silver stock of the Ming Dynasty is estimated to be this number, which includes the circulation of the market and the cellars of those gentry, in fact, it is impossible to have one or two acres of land, and it is impossible to redeem it with real money.

In the end, it cost billions.

Such a huge amount of money can only be diluted with land vouchers and paid in installments over the next 50 years.

Fifty years!

It is estimated that when the last batch is cashed, the Ming Dynasty has already dominated the world, and these land vouchers are interest-bearing, and those who have land vouchers can be passed on to future generations as property. However, at that time, due to the completion of the paper currency and the depreciation and other factors, it is estimated that this money is not very much.

Of course, there will still be a batch of cashing in initially.

That is to say, those of the year and the two-year, put them together in proportion, so that in the first few years there were still a large number of old land gentry who received a land payment as wealth. They have no choice but to invest in industry and commerce, which will also inject a large amount of money into private industry and commerce in a short period of time, so that industry and commerce will grow substantially.

External expansion will also be supported.

After all, there is no restriction outside the two capitals and thirteen political envoys, and every piece of land and every mine that goes out to grab is their own.

In that case, of course, we must hurry.

At this time, whether the Ming Dynasty has sea strength or land strength, it is enough to support close expansion, not to mention Taiwan Island, all parts of the South China Sea must be grabbed, even if it crosses the Pacific Ocean, there is no problem. In fact, the title of Asian, who first sailed to the Americas and even reached Europe, was no longer the turn of the Ming Dynasty, because decades earlier Date Masamune had already sent his retainer Shikura Tsunecho to cross the Pacific Ocean to the Americas on the Galen ship built by the Sendai Domain, and continue south into the Atlantic. The Ita delegation traveled not only to South America, but also to Europe to meet the Pope, where they were warmly welcomed by the Vatican, and the Pope himself gave him his Christian name. But when they returned, the old turtle had already expelled the missionaries, and even the Battle of Shimabara was about to begin, and finally the trip of the Wakoku to Europe ended in a flash in the pan, and with the bloody battle of Shimabara and the lockdown order, the Wakoku completely returned to the old era, until the arrival of the black ships of the Americans.

I have to say that we are really lucky.

If it weren't for the abrupt end of the Western study of the Wa Kingdom, maybe Kang Mazi would have to face a Westernized neighbor next to him in the later period, and this neighbor would definitely have to attack North Korea and the Northeast. As for his army, which even Wu Sangui can barely resist, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand a queue to shoot the version of the Japanese army.

In short, Brother Ma's luck is still very admirable.

Merchant ships that set sail from Daming could go straight to San Francisco along the Kuroshio, and then turn around at the equator, return by the warm current of the North Equator, and reconnect the Kuroshio to the east of the Philippines to return to Taiwan. This route was enough to support the colonization of the Americas by the Ming Dynasty, and it happened to take Guam, the western Pacific islands.

Didn't the gentry think about the landlord?

Go to the Americas!

As long as they can clear out the Indians there, they can have as much land as they want, Yang Qing is worried that they will not go, if they are willing to be the Puritans of the Ming Dynasty, then Yang Qing will erect a monument for them.

And this result also satisfied Song Yingxing.

He was actually the southern land gentry who represented the Yang Qing system, and Yang Qing was so frank that he told them that they could do it early, and they didn't have to wait for the official land reform. Just like many of them have done in recent years, just sell the land to Huangzhuang, at this time the sale is real money, and it is all market price, quickly sell the land in exchange for funds to invest in industry and commerce, with the help of Yang Qing's support to win those important mine development rights. When the land reform officially began, they were already in the lead, and even if the landed gentry honestly accepted the ransom and obtained the funds to enter the industry and commerce, they could only follow them.

Yang Qing is helping them.

Song Yingxing decided to go back and immediately sell all the fertile land controlled by the Song family.

"But there's another problem, if you have all the land, who will go into the factory? If wages are increased to retain people, the price of products will inevitably rise. ”

He then said.

"This is not difficult to solve, first of all, in the short term the Ming Dynasty is a seller's market, all the goods we export to Europe are what they do not have, the Europeans still do not know how to fire porcelain, they do not have tea plantations, even sugar cane can only be grown in South America, although the European silk industry is also thriving, but their silk is still not as good as ours.

Even if we raise prices because we have to increase workers' wages, they can only accept it.

Besides, their losses are limited.

Do you know how European merchants sell plates?

They adorned the plates with gold and silver and used them as luxury goods at banquets to show off their wealth, in other words they treated porcelain plates like we did with jade, and what we sold to European merchants was not expensive, and the real profits were in the hands of these merchants.

The same goes for tea.

After the Europeans ship a whole shipload of tea from us to Europe, they can earn back all the money in the furthest Nordic and even a few of the bags. ”

Yang Qing said.

This is indeed true.

At this time, the Europeans really decorated the plates they bought from China with gold and silver and used them as top luxury goods, so the more and more custom-made products with family coats of arms in Guangdong, those nobles who bought them went back to decorate them with gold and silver.

Tea was also a luxury item in Europe, even in the eighteenth century.

The first Swedish merchant ship to reach China, the Gothenburg, spent nearly two years returning to Gothenburg from the port of Guangzhou with a shipload of tea, but outside the port because of the excitement of going home, the ship sank in front of its own home, but after the auction of several bags of tea fished out of the sea......

The owner of the Gothenburg has actually returned to his roots!

This is the difference between the price of the East and the West, and the vast majority of this difference goes to the maritime merchants, who do not purchase expensive goods from China, and of course, the maritime merchants need to trade their lives, because a third of the crew of the Gothenburg died during the two-year voyage.

Therefore, in the short term, Yang Qing does not need to care about the problems caused by the increase in labor costs, but the domestic market will definitely be affected, but these things are not the most important in this era, and the increase in grain production that will inevitably occur after equalizing the field is the most important.

"As for ...... later"

Yang Qing patted the steam engine next to him and said, "It will solve the problem in the future." ”

Indeed, the machine can solve the later.

Machines will significantly lower the price of industrial goods.

However, machines still could not solve the problem of homesteaders' lack of interest in factories, and this problem could only be solved by the colonies, or by the colonies by engaging in large farms and direct plunder. The constant influx of grain from outside and the continuous reduction of the price of local agricultural products make farming unprofitable, and it can also allow farmers to enter the factory, but the process is slower, but it is also gentle, after all, sheep eating people is not in line with Yang Qing's principle. Juntian is only to ensure the population base of the Ming Dynasty and ensure the continuous growth of the population, simply put, to achieve food and clothing, compared to this, the development of industrialization is more acceptable.

After all, Yang Qing has enough time.

Anyway, at this time, Europe has not even appeared yet!

He has no intrinsic intention to equalize wealth and poverty.

This is beyond his means, and all he pursues is to ensure the most basic needs of the poor, no more people can starve to death and freeze to death, no more babies can be discarded in ravines, no more hungry people can eat people, his pursuit is only that. However, he is not capable of solving the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor, which can be said to be so high-end that he can only look up to it, so the capitalists will have it, and the big landlords will also have it, but there will be no capitalists who work 18 hours a day with whips and whips, and there will be no big landlords who rely on squeezing the blood and sweat of their compatriots in exchange for fine clothes and food.

The poor will.

But the poor people who eat grass roots, tree bark, Guanyin soil, will not have it.

The low-end population will have.

But you need to feed your child a piece of water to go out and earn a few pieces of black bread with blood and sweat, and the low-end population who has an average life expectancy of only two or three years in the factory will not have it.

Rich people can indeed be clothed and fed.

But people who don't have money don't even have the luxury of eating a full meal.

That's enough.

That's all he can pursue.
