Chapter 435

Unlike the unemployed vagrants 500 years later, although the displaced people are also unemployed, due to the underdeveloped productive forces, the lack of materials, backward technology, and the extremely low degree of organization, the problem of resettlement and employment of the displaced people has always been a headache for the bureaucracy at all levels of the feudal empire.

After all, it's not just about money, it's about public security.

The main thing, of course, is the question of money.

The supervisors at all levels are thinking about stuffing silver into their pockets, and they all want to report one homeless person as ten homeless people, so that the imperial court can give more resettlement fees, acres of land or something, and who cares about the life or death of ordinary homeless? Of course, you can catch as much as you can.

Anyway, in these years, the imperial power is not lower than the county, although there is such a thing as a yellow book, but not to mention the slow statistical efficiency, and there is little communication between the homeless and local residents, it is greedy for ink, and the above can only check the case if it is sent down to investigate the case.

It's not that there are no clean officials, such as Yu Qian and Yu Tingyi, who have money in the family, have backers in the officialdom, and have hard money, so they can naturally shout loudly and get a lot of popularity, official reputation, etc., but if a clean official wants to appear, he must have the above two conditions at the same time, and everything else is in vain.

First of all, money, the poor are not worthy of talking about money, "there are still a few hard bones" This kind of words, bragging in private, singing a high-profile chorus in public, who is really stupid, after more than 500 years, there are not too many things to reverse, a large bag of heavy gold and silver is slapped in front of the poor, and the impact can kill many people, which is the same as more than 500 years later, boxes of pink banknotes are placed in front of others.

And then there is the foundation in the officialdom. The Ming Dynasty is an era when the imperial power is not lower than the county, there are no excellent disciples in the court, blindly thinking about clearing the name, not following the same stream, then it will be "disturbed by the people", it will be "stupid and incompetent", the landlord class who holds the mouth cannon will not care about the life and death of those homeless, from the "virtuous" in the countryside, to the "clear stream" above the court, will definitely not show mercy, after all, blocking people's money is like killing parents.

In order to increase the local population, Yang Shangjing gathered all the displaced people from several surrounding counties, and the Taizhou Mansion also asked for about a thousand people, which has reached the limit of the carrying capacity of a county, and even slightly exceeded - this is still the number of acres of land that Yang Shangjing only got after copying the two landlords, otherwise it would have relied on the little public land in the county...... Wait for death.

As for the opening up of wasteland...... Although the agriculture of Huangyan County is fundamental, there are a lot of wasteland that can be used to reclaim, but there is no chemical fertilizer in these years, and the manure in the city is strictly controlled.

"Raw field" to "cooked land", it takes a lot of time to plough deeply, needs a series of supporting facilities such as canals and roads, and needs to plant mulberry and hemp.

It is also limited to the degree of organization, communication technology and criminal investigation technology, and the vicious incidents of the homeless people making trouble and committing adultery are also repeatedly banned, after all, the "poor" has reached a certain point, and the government has no problem with it, and the local farmers resist the homeless, and there will naturally be conflicts, and then as soon as the homeless people finish killing and running, the local magistrate will be dumbfounded.

So Zhang Cong's sentence can be regarded as directly hitting the point, when Yang Shangjing got so many homeless people to come over, he was very satisfied with the proximity to various counties and even Taizhou Mansion, after all, the pressure on his own family is small, the account is easy to follow, and the money he makes will follow, but if he wants to send these homeless people back after digging a canal, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

This does not involve any allusions that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, it is purely that the neighboring counties do not like to ask for it.

Because the displaced people have to reduce rent and interest in the first two years, or even rent and interest free, and the county finance has to subsidize it, it is difficult to directly count the breeding of people, basically except for "clearing the name", there is no meritorious scientific research, after all, ...... The will to settle the displaced people is the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

Faced with this question, Yang Shangjing smiled: "The cultivator has his land, this is the pursuit of the Taizu, how can this official sit back and watch the homeless people starve and ignore it?" ”

Sing a high note, first bring Zhu Yuanzhang out, although Lao Zhu is the easiest to be sprayed by literati, but when he is publicly brought out, he is still "the first emperor Shengming", whoever opposes it will die.

Shaking his head gently, Yang Shangjing continued: "The two big families in Huangyan County are traitors, and there are even thieves who are in contact with foreign countries. It's just that the land is still shared, and the displaced people only have the right to cultivate and harvest, and they have no right to buy and sell. ”

Listening to Yang Shangjing's words, Zhang Cong scolded in his heart, in less than a year, you destroyed the two local tyrants in this county, if you weren't from the scholar family, and the Yang family in Jian'an was a big family in the Ming Dynasty, the gang in the court couldn't kill you.

However, he still held back, gently put his hand on the table, and said in a harmonious voice: "Even so, there are still displaced people who cannot be resettled, but I don't know how to do Shao Zhan's affairs." ”

Yang Shangjing was still smiling: "Given a year's rations, and planted grain, farm tools and other things, and selected ownerless wasteland for cultivation and cultivation, tax exemption within three years, but those who have completed three years can buy their cultivated land at the market price." ”

The simplest, a few hundred years later, when the western part of the Midi was developed, it would be good to get that bill, but the resettlement of displaced people here, the stage of charging will be exempted, and the size of the reclaimed land is also decided by Yang Shangjing, otherwise the local big households will be involved, and the ghost knows what will happen.

For example, large households let the displaced people open up the land widely, how big and how big they are, and when the years are up, they will spend money to buy it, and the number of their own fields will rise gradually, and it is no problem to directly multiply it several times, anyway, these years are stinky, and the poor peasants and tenant farmers who have no land and little land have to produce a lot every year, as long as they have land, they can always find mud legs to help plant.

What he Yang Shangjing wants to fight is the landlord class, and there is no need to create any convenience for them at this time.

"In this way, I am afraid that the displaced people who cultivated the original ripe fields will be dissatisfied." Zhang Cong said worriedly.
