Xu Guangqi said: "In fact, this agricultural cooperative does not need much investment in the early stage, how many shares is Your Majesty going to collect?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I want 100,000 shares, 1,000 yuan per share, a total of 100 million yuan." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "It shouldn't be needed so much, what farmers need is things instead of money, as long as they provide tools and materials." And His Majesty can take the opportunity to add the sale of salt to the agricultural cooperatives, and then it will soon be able to break even. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The sale of salt has always been based on the open Chinese method, if the way of selling is changed, will it affect the food supply in the border area?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Last time, the minister asked about the grain problem in the border area, but now because our army has shrunk to Shanhaiguan, the only area that needs to transport grain over long distances is Liaodong. The food supply in the Liaodong Army is now all in charge of the Liaodong Development Company, and Yang Sichang has completely abandoned the Kaizhong Law, and there is already a surplus of grain. Shaanxi is self-sufficient in grain, Sun Chuanting is already looking for a market for their potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Xuanfu and other places have already signed grain supply agreements with them. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "If the sale of salt is added, then there really won't be much start-up capital." Then the agricultural cooperative has an additional purpose. ”

Fang Congzhe asked, "What is the additional use that Your Majesty said?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The shareholders of the agricultural cooperatives are ready to be divided into two parts, one is the inner palace and the magnates, and the other is the officials. ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that most of the officials will not be able to come up with the shares." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "If you add the sale of salt, the original 100 million yuan can be greatly discounted." I am going to prepare 30 million yuan, which will be subscribed by the inner palace and the magnates, accounting for 50%, and the other 50% will be distributed according to the rank of the official, but there is no need to make up the shares. ”

Ye Xianggao said: "It turned out to be a dry stock, and the minister understood." Does that mean that there is a clean bank when you are in office? ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am ready to not only have a pension when I am in office, but I should also have it after retirement, but after retirement, it is a pension, and the pension is no longer the responsibility of the agricultural cooperative, but will be paid by the imperial court until I die." However, as long as there is corruption, the incorruptible silver must be fully recovered, and the interest will be attached, and the interest will be rolled over by three percent six a year. ”

Fang Congzhe was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty, adding this article to the whistleblower box is the best way to prevent corruption." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The focus is on enforcement, and the whistleblower box must only be the responsibility of a separate agency, and there can be no contact with local officials." All the report letters can only be collected and sorted out by the East Factory and then reported to me, so as to prevent favoritism and fraud to the greatest extent. ”

Everyone began to discuss the issue of the whistleblower box and the maintenance of honest silver, but put aside the matter of rent reduction that should have been discussed. After discussing with them for a while, Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said: "We must pay close attention to the matter of rent reduction in all aspects, and I will arrange for Wang Chengen to be responsible for the newspaper matter, so who will be responsible for the enlightened landlord who takes the lead in asking for rent reduction?" Who is responsible for using immigrants to threaten landlords with rent reductions? ”

Ye Xianggao said: "The minister knows some conscientious gentry, if the minister writes a letter to mobilize, they should take the initiative to reduce the rent." ”

Huang Kezhang said murderously: "The minister is willing to come to supervise the immigration issue, and by the way, scare those landlords." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The matter of immigration is originally related to the Ministry of War, you just need to urge the immigrants, as for the matter of scaring the landlord, forget it." If the immigration work is done well, the landlords will naturally soften. ”

In the next issue of the newspaper, a sternly worded editor's note appeared. It is imperative to point out that rent reduction should be carried out, and those who understand it must be implemented, and those who do not understand it must also be implemented. If the landlords were unwilling to reduce their rents, the imperial court would allow their tenants to emigrate to other places, leaving their fields deserted.

In administrative matters, Liu Siyuan, the priest of the country, was notified, and the prisoners of the country were instigated to storm the Taimiao, disturbing the public and the public, which was tantamount to rebellion. The emperor was merciful, but removed him from his official position and exiled to Japan.

In the readers' letters, several letters from landlords were also published, arguing that the tenants were poor and resolutely supported the imperial court's decision to reduce rents.

The whole wind changed in a different direction, and Huang Kezhang, in the name of the Ministry of War, ordered that as many landless peasants as possible be emigrated to Taiwan and various parts of southern Liaoning, and that the Ministry of War be responsible for escorting them.

As for the Ministry of Households, after the migrants from all over the country arrive at the resettlement point, the Ministry of Household is responsible for providing the necessary expenses in the early stage, and it can be repaid within three years. All the output of each farmer will be purchased by a trading company called the agricultural cooperative, and the necessary materials and tools will also be provided by the agricultural cooperative.

Zhu Youxiao was ready to gather the princes and nobles from all over the country to hold a conference. According to the regulations, the princes are not allowed to enter Beijing on weekdays, but Zhu Youxiao ordered to enter Beijing, of course, it is okay.

More than a month later, even the most remote Su king, Zhu Zhihong, rushed to the capital, so he held a clan meeting in Yuntai first.

Zongren Ling is the Fu King Zhu Changxun, Zhu Youxiao's own uncle. Zhu Changxun is in his thirties, and he is afraid that he will be almost 300 pounds. After saluting the emperor, he took a breath for a while, and finally calmed down.

He spoke: "Your Majesty summoned me and others to the capital today because there is an important matter to discuss with you, and now we ask the patriarch to speak for us. ”

Zhu Youxiao watched him gasp for a while before calming down, and he couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart. He knew the outcome of this uncle in the original history, and he was boiled and eaten by the rebels. He thought that this would not be the case now, and he could be regarded as saving his life.

He retracted his thoughts and said, "You are all members of the Ming Dynasty. According to the ancestral system, there are clear baskets, divided into feuds but not tin soil, lords but not the people, food but not governance, and can not participate in the business of the four people. The eldest son is fine, but the concubine of the side branch often has the risk of not having enough food and clothing, and I feel very sorry for him. ”

Of course, the eldest son who can come here is the eldest son, but among the sons in the family, there are also those who especially like it instead of the eldest son or even the eldest son, and they are also worried about their future life.

"Of course, it is impossible for me to change the ancestral system, but this is a family matter, and I want to give every child of the clan a long-term wealth, so I have come up with a way to discuss it with my uncles and brothers."

Everyone said, "Your Majesty, please speak clearly." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I want to build a trading company, which is responsible for lending to farmers and buying and selling their needs and output. I believe that everyone can understand the profit and long-term of this business, and I don't know if you are interested in helping me build it together. ”
