"Aren't you afraid that they will rebel?"

Her Majesty was very unimpressed by the arrogance of the Lord Protector.

"Rebellion?"

Yang Qing sneered.

"If they rebel, I welcome it, then I can save it and pay off the debt later!"

He went on to say.

The public land law must not be directly recovered, and can only be redeemed, that is, the land vouchers he designed before, and a small amount of cash will be given in the first installment, and it is said that after the gentry are harmed by him, there should be a general shortage of money at present. In the late Ming Dynasty, the silver stock was more than 300 million taels, this time it was 60 million, and the market was circulating more than 100 million points. The Chang'an branch of the Imperial Bank also has almost 20 million taels, and the bank treasury in Xuanwu Lake has 40 million, that is to say, there are still 60 or 70 million deposits of silver among the people, but a large part of these deposits are still in Zhang Xianzhong's place, in short, there are no more than 50 million taels in the hands of these gentry at present.

That's very little.

It does look like 50 million taels is terrifying.

But so much silver was scattered in the hands of so many gentry, and they could be said to be very poor, and they originally controlled the vast majority of gold and silver. As for the various debt notes and the like in their hands, they are basically tied to the Imperial Bank, especially the former is still a lot of them, after all, they have been forced to pay for it last time. Moreover, Yang Qingfa has issued a lot of treasury bonds in recent years, and the vast majority of these bonds are also in the hands of these gentry.

But that's not a big deal.

Yang Qing is like what he said before, he doesn't care about their wealth, what he cares about is that the wealth of these people is not under his control, to his status, money is just a number, and the paper he prints himself is money. What he cares about is control of precious metals as the basis of money, which can be stored in his cellar, but not in the cellar of someone who doesn't know. And it doesn't matter who it belongs to, but it must be in his cellar, it must be under his control, like the gold in the cellar of the Federal Reserve, it does not matter to whom this gold belongs, but it must be in the cellar of the Federal Reserve.

This is monetary control.

Monetary control is financial control, financial control is economic control, economic control is the real state control, the emperors before the Ming Dynasty, can't play because they don't have economic control at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang can control the country.

Because he issued the money, and the economic control was in his hands.

Yongle can too.

Although the treasure money began to collapse at that time, the shiploads of pepper brought to him by Zheng He still allowed him to control the economy, and the state's monopoly on foreign trade and the control of gold, silver and copper mines in various places allowed him to control the currency.

But then it went from bad to worse, with the rise of the gentry, from large-scale smuggling along the coast, to the later Longqing switch, the country lost control of foreign trade, and all the silver poured in from the Americas flowed into the hands of the gentry. With hundreds of millions of silver in their hands, they controlled the currency, and the economy was also completely controlled by them, and when the imperial power lost economic control, it was gradually hollowed out. This is a matter of principle, not to mention the modern national credit standard, even under the freely convertible gold standard system, no monarch dares not to grasp this. The Bank of England is tied to the royal family, and the Bank of Japan is the equivalent of the emperor.

The United States is not.

But the struggle for monetary control between the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve is straightforward.

This is Yang Qing's real purpose.

However, in the first installment, he will still give some cash compensation to those landlords.

Banknotes, of course.

He couldn't have given them any more silver.

And it is not free to cash banknotes, although it is also a banknote, but you can't take it to the bank to cash it, this is not issued by the Imperial Bank, this is issued by the Ministry of Households, and it has nothing to do with the Imperial Bank, and can only be cashed by the Ministry of Households. That is to say, they can use these banknotes, and then pay taxes to the imperial court, or purchase things from the protectorate, and the value of these banknotes at that time is the same as ordinary banknotes.

And after the latter gets it, it will naturally be transferred back to the Imperial Bank and become real banknotes.

This operation is their own internal matter, and everyone knows that Tobe and Imperial Bank are two trouser legs of the same trouser.

Anyway, that's the first issue.

The vast majority of the remaining land redemptions will be paid for with land vouchers, that is, bonds with different redemption periods, but these bonds will be cashed after all, even if the time is longer, and the longest will be cashed in 50 years, but after all, it is still better not to spend a penny. So of course it would be good for the gentry to rebel, and then he went directly to raid the house, so that not only would he not have to repay his debts for this in the future, but he could also take the opportunity to raid the house and exile a group of these guys. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he connected if he had nothing to do, and then packed up those big families and threw them on the wasteland to open up the wasteland......

Don't think that Zhu Yuanzhang is exaggerating to tens of thousands of people in one plant.

He's just forced immigration.

The family members and relatives who committed the crime were basically thrown away by him to clear the wasteland, and then their fields and properties were turned into official land and given to military households.

Yang Qing also played like this.

In fact, there have always been voices of people comparing him to Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, many of his systems are actually learned from Zhu Yuanzhang, but they have been remodeled, but the core is the same. But if you really want to say it, he is much gentler than Zhu Yuanzhang, so the gentry keep shouting about Emperor Taizu, but no one really dares to study Emperor Taizu with Yang Qing.

They also knew that Emperor Taizu was actually more murderous than Yang Qing.

It's just that Emperor Taizu has too few means.

And it's easier to deceive, of course, it can't be said to be deceiving, it's just that it's easier to guide the Holy Lord Mingjunhua, he knows too little, so the gentry can say whatever they want, and it is difficult for him to resist the gentry's deception in some intellectual content. After all, in terms of knowledge, Emperor Taizu and Yang Qing can't be compared, an illiterate poor person who knows things is definitely not as good as this, this miracle doctor, scientist, linguist, and even invincible general, historian, thinker, writer, this ......

This demon!

This is also the reason why the gentry are always powerless in the face of Yang Qing, the most terrible thing is that the hooligan is educated, if this hooligan is not only educated, but also immortal, it will be directly despairing.

"What about the Four People's Assembly?"

Her Majesty said.

"...... of the Four People's Congresses"

Yang Qing groaned.

He was also unsure of what the Four People's Congress would do with his public land law.

In fact, it is estimated that it will not pass.

After all, this session of the Standing Committee of the Four People's Congress has been in office for more than four years, and in fact it is about to face a change, more than four years is enough for the gentry to influence them, in other words, they are already transforming into real politicians. And this time he offended the village sages too hard, the latter was already inseparable from him, and there was no room for retreat, and he would definitely go all out to carry out activities in the Four People's Congress to prevent the passage of the Gongtian Law.

This is their life.

They have no room to retreat, if they don't fight to the death, then this class will be completely shoveled by Yang Qing.

This is the decisive battle.

Their decisive battle with Yang Qing.

It must be all out, a real decisive battle without any possibility of retreat.

The Standing Committee itself was represented by a quarter of the scholars, and the merchant representatives owned more or less some land, and the nationalization itself was disgusting.

The workers' representatives didn't care.

And then the remaining peasant representatives, too, were part yeoman farmers.

But they're all easy to buy!

As far as Wang Fuzhi, the de facto head of the parliament, is concerned, he will definitely not agree to the Gongtian Law, because the Wang family was originally a landlord, and he originally participated in the Four People's Congress as a representative of scholars. In this way, in Yang Qing's calculations, more than 60% of this public land law may not pass, but there will be no problem in the next term.

Because the next one joined the Northern Deputies.

At present, there are almost no other northern delegates at this session of the Four People's Congress, except for Shandong.

But in the next term, it is necessary to join the representatives of Beizhili and Shanxi, and there are also representatives from Liangguang, and the representatives of Henan must also be there, and the representatives of these places are basically all from Huangzhuang. Not only are they loyal to the protectors, but they have also de facto completed the public land, and it is difficult for them to buy, after all, their rear is the Huangzhuang, and everything they have is in the Huangzhuang.

So......

"Wouldn't that be more interesting?"

Yang Qing said proudly in front of his wife.

"I'll see how you end up playing with fire!"

Her Majesty said angrily.

"I just like to play with fire!"

Yang Qing said.

Indeed, he likes to play with fire.

"Your Majesty, Wang Fuzhi, the permanent representative of the Four People's Assembly, asks to see you."

The female officer cautiously stepped aside and said.

Her Majesty looked at Yang Qing.

Yang Qing waved his hand.

"Let's just say that I'm not in good health, and no one wants to see me!"

The Empress said.

Then the female officer hurried away.

"Aren't you going to talk to them?"

The empress asked Yang Qing suspiciously.

"Communication? What's there to communicate about this kind of thing? The two sides have different positions, and the talks are in vain, so tomorrow I will formally put forward the motion, and the four people's congresses will deliberate and then vote on it. If they don't pass it, I'll mention it again, and then I will mention it over and over again, anyway, as long as it is re-elected, it will definitely be passed, so those village sages who want to stop me must have to be in the remaining less than half a year of this term, and then they will do their best. This is very good, so there is something to play, but in other words, there are many inappropriate things about our Four People's Congress system, and some of the Four People's Congress deputies are more and more disappointed by the people's trust. ”

Yang Qing said.

Or maybe he needs to make an example.

The corruption of the Four People's Congresses is inevitable, when these permanent representatives have the power to decide on major state affairs, there will inevitably be investment, when a system cannot be resisted, infiltration and change will destroy it, and this has become the inevitable choice of the gentry.

So it's time to purify.
