Chapter 265 Land Policy
(Recommended reading: Land measurement is not very smooth, there are always some people who can't recognize the situation clearly, and Ye Chen needs to put a charge on them, and then wipe out the family to know that it is wrong.
But it was too late at that time, Ye Chen's reform in Liaodong was strong, iron-blooded, and could not be stopped. Anyone who stands in the way of Ye Chen's reform is an enemy, and if it is an enemy, it must be annihilated.
Undoubtedly, Ye Chen's actions were full of complaints in Liaodong, and many families dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only reluctantly accept this fact. However, for the families who cooperated, Ye Chen did not take any other actions against them, and would not do anything to them.
For ordinary people, everything Ye Chen did had nothing to do with them, because Ye Chen did not move their interests, but those families who evaded taxes and evaded taxes.
Although Ye Chen measured a lot of land, according to this calculation, Liaodong's tax revenue could be increased many times, but Ye Chen's official report to the state and the imperial court was reduced.
It was said that due to the war, many peasants fled the famine, and the land was not harvested and could not be taxed, so the imperial court also generously exempted Liaodong from a part of the tax.
The previous actions had nothing to do with ordinary people, but then, the policies that were introduced a little later had a lot to do with ordinary people.
When measuring the land, Ye Chen found that many of the lands were abandoned because of the lack of tenant farmers for them, so Ye Chen discussed with them and bought these lands.
Of course, Ye Chen traded with them fairly, and some of them didn't sell, so they brought soldiers to reason with them, and in the end, they made sense, and Ye Chen didn't treat them badly, and bought them at the market price.
In fact, many families are still very acquainted, knowing that the Ye family is powerful, and it is a big deal that they can't stay here, so they can take the money to buy properties elsewhere, but most of them are difficult to leave their homeland, and the Ye family is not too excessive, so they can bear with it.
Although land is an inseparable feeling for them, it is more important to the fate of the whole family.
In the end, there were still many families who refused to sell their land to Ye Chen, but Ye Chen did not continue to embarrass them, Ye Chen believed that they would sell it in the end.
The reason is very simple, these abandoned lands also have to pay taxes, and Ye Chen's next policies will make the land of these families gradually uncultivated, and if they don't sell it, they have to put it in their hands, not only will they have no income, but they will also have to pay a lot of taxes.
How much land did Ye Chen collect? Distributed to ordinary people to cultivate, although the tenants of Yuxian and Ye Chen have land, but there are still many people in Liaodong who have no land to cultivate before.
Ye Chen distributed the land to them for free, except that the land could not be bought and sold, the rest belonged to the peasants themselves, of course, the taxes had to be paid, except for the taxes stipulated by the imperial court, Ye Chen did not continue to collect any taxes from them.
Ye Chen not only issued this policy, but also issued a reclamation order. The reclamation decree stipulates that peasants who have no land or little land in eastern Liaoning can go to land reclamation freely, and the reclaimed land is exempt from tax for three years.
At the same time, whether they were farmers who were cultivating land or not, Ye Chen supported them in the name of the government, mainly farm tools and seeds, which were leased to them by the government, and returned with grain after harvesting, and completely according to the market price, and did not charge them interest.
The most important thing is that Ye Chen doesn't let them pay it off at once, they can be paid off in several years, and the maximum can be paid off in five years, as for changing it in advance, it can also be paid off in advance, but how much should be paid back at least every year.
Ye Chen's introduction of this policy was of course welcomed by the vast number of poor people, and it is foreseeable that the entire Liaodong will set off a vigorous large-scale production, and the entire Liaodong will also be full of vitality, which is completely different from the lifeless rest of the Han Dynasty.
It has been more than ten days since these things were arranged, although it will take a long time to complete these things, but it is no longer Ye Chen's business, it is enough to leave it to the people below to do, and it is enough to pay attention to it once for a period of time.
After drying Li Wei for more than ten days, the black pot he should have carried was also carried by Ye Chen, so he could meet him.
"Master Li, don't come unharmed." Welcoming Li Wei into the living room, Ye Chen said with a smile.
Will Li Wei be okay? Now it's like sitting on pins and needles.
Ye Chen looked at Li Wei, who had a haggard face, and knew that he was not happy, but he still greeted.
Li Wei was so bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it here, he was afraid that he would anger Ye Chen again, so he didn't hand over to him, so he had to reluctantly squeeze out a little smile to deal with it.
"Thank you Ye Taishou for your concern, it's good to be here." Li Wei called Ye Chen Ye Taishou, just to remind him that he was about to hand over.
Ye Chen didn't want to embarrass him, anyway, the black cauldron was almost memorized, and now it was convenient to take over a lot of things by himself.
"Master Li, I have been busy with military affairs recently, and I really can't spare time, so I hope to include more." Ye Chen said to Li Wei very politely, as if he was really sorry.
Li Wei twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he really wanted to slap Ye Chen over, but he didn't dare, his little life was still in the hands of others.
If Ye Chen is unhappy and drags on not handing over to him, then if something happens to Liaodong, the accounts will be counted on his head, and it would be fine if these accounts were rotten in Liaodong, but if these accounts were to be counted in the imperial court, then his future would be worried.
"Mrs. Ye has a high position and great responsibility, so he should be busy."
Ye Chen glanced at Li Wei, and laughed in his heart when he saw his nervous appearance, he knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, he still wanted to unite a group of people to deal with him, and he didn't look at whose territory Liaodong was.
"Why is Lord Li here? Is there anything important that needs to be discussed with me? ”
Regarding Ye Chen's ridicule, Li Wei really didn't have the heart to joke with Ye Chen, and hurriedly said: "Ye Taishou, I came here to discuss the handover with you this time, I don't know if you are free?" ”
Li Wei unconsciously used "you", he was really scared of Ye Chen's toss, if he let Ye Chen toss again, his little life is estimated to be gone, and after they are handed over, Ye Chen will make trouble as much as he likes, but now that Ye Chen is making trouble, his heart is beating suddenly, and he is worried every day.
Ye Chen did not continue to entangle with Li Wei, Li Wei had lost any value.
"So how long does it take for Li Taishou to finish the handover?"
"Ye Taishou, three days, oh, it can be handed over in less than a day." Li Wei was in a hurry to jump out of this pit, where was there any demeanor, originally he understood that he should take his time and show his importance, but now he can't take care of anything.
"I think so, you can put the official seal in the Taishou Mansion, and I'll go over and take it later." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he began to send off guests.
Li Wei was a little dazed when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Ye Chen meant at first, but after going out, Li Wei reacted, Ye Chen had already kicked himself out, and what day was handed over, Ye Chen wanted him to leave the house immediately and hand over immediately.
