Chapter 441 as a guarantee
Song Xiance's opinion He Wenrui agreed, even if there is a lord in the mountain wasteland, it is difficult to receive land rent.
The owners of these places are either royal relatives or wealthy families, if it is ordinary grain, on wasteland, an acre of land may not even have a harvest of dozens of catties, and it is not easy to make a living from this.
If you plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, it will be different, the harvest is amazingly large, and when the land is cleared and becomes a scale, these people may pay attention to it, but it is estimated that it will be too late by then, and once people are sent to forcibly collect the land rent, most of them will provoke a popular uprising.
Thinking of this, He Wenrui secretly woke up, he must not tolerate this happening, otherwise the merits of promoting the gods will be wiped out by the people's uprising, it seems that after taking office, they have to knock on these wealthy families, so that they can't be too greedy.
If you dare to not listen to him, hum, the county order that breaks the family, and the Ling Yin who destroys the door, is he really a vegetarian in Zhizhou? We must not allow the greed of the wealthy to grow wildly and drive the people to the mountains.
"Virtuous nephew, whether the cost of this thirty percent is high or not, it's not up to you and me, in the final analysis, it still has to be recognized by the people who farm the land," He Wenrui pulled his thoughts back, and said back to the issue of the cost, "If they think it's too high, I'll discuss it here, but what can I do?" ”
Although he is a security governor, he cannot force the public to buy the seeds of the Zhuolu Trading Company to plant.
"There are always some people who are willing to try, Lord He," Zhiwen replied, "even if it is only a very small number of people, once this year's harvest is enough to become a breakthrough." ”
Hearing this, He Wenrui's eyes lit up, "What? Virtuous nephew, is someone in Zhuoluji willing to buy seeds for farming at the price you set? ”
"Exactly, Lord He." Zhiwen nodded and said, "It is true that there are three or four families, although they are forced by other people's pressure and dare not express their positions openly, but they have contacted us in private and are willing to pay for thirty percent of the grain after the harvest." ”
"Good!" He Wenrui patted his thigh, looking excited, he believed that once the harvest was harvested, these three or four families would become the object of other people's eyes, as soon as he returned to the state capital to take office, he would vigorously promote it in the whole state, every town and every village, as long as there are so many willing to accept the fee of Zhuolu Trading Company, take the lead in planting, next year's spring ploughing, there should be no one who is unwilling to plant.
"But I didn't promise them."
"It's... Why? When He Wenrui heard this, he almost exploded, if it weren't for the fact that the artifact related to his reputation was not under his control, he would have the urge to turn his face in an instant.
"Calm down, adults." Zhiwen hurriedly appeased, although he is young, he is also a psychologically mature person, although He Wenrui is usually quiet, but the impact of today's events is too great, and there are some gaffes, and it is not strange for Zhiwen to see his thoughts.
"Lord He, this is the second obstacle." Zhiwen explained, "These people are all four walls, not to mention paying us for seeds in advance, even if they ask them to take some slightly valuable belongings to give us as a pledge, they can't do it. ”
"This..."
"If they get the seeds without paying a penny, once the word goes out, more people will inevitably come to us, and they will all have to get the seeds at any cost, Lord He, in this case, how should Zhuolu Trading Company deal with itself?" Zhiwen asked.
"This..."
"Do you give it all? Once the grain is harvested, few families will return the seed fee as promised, Lord He, although our trading company is not small, it can't withstand this kind of tossing, and only give a part? Who should it be given to and who should not be given, and how should it be determined? ”
"This..."
"Once the people feel that we are unfair, it will probably cause riots, my lord, although we are the righteous people you mentioned, I am afraid that we will not be able to suppress them, and we can't use knives against these ordinary people because of this matter, right?"
"Virtuous nephew... There is a point in that. He Wenrui wiped the cold sweat on his head while quickly pondering what to do.
Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him, who looked younger than Song Xiance, was also a not simple character, and this series of questions made him speechless, especially the rhetoric that might cause a riot in the end, which touched him even more.
Although he felt that with the strength of the Zhuolu Trading Company, it would not be a problem to deal with the civilians of a town, and he would be able to easily take it down without blood, and the impression he had in the battle of Jimingshan was too deep, but as soon as he was appointed as the governor, this kind of thing happened, which was not only very different from his original intention of pushing sweet potatoes, but also inevitably impeached by the officials.
One is the fetish that is related to the reputation behind him, and the other is the obstacles that will be encountered by pushing them, and even cause popular uprisings because of this, affecting his future official career, what should he do?
Do you want to give up? He Wenrui was not reconciled.
By the way, didn't Zhiwen just say that he couldn't suppress the people just by relying on the word righteous people, so he would send officials and even officers and soldiers to help? Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and with these people, presumably the townspeople could be honest.
No, it's still inappropriate, didn't Zhiwen say it, it's really hard to judge who to give it to and not to whom.
Then give it all? Isn't it enough to ensure that the Zhuolu Trading Company can recover the cost of the seeds after collecting the grain? He is an official, and there are officers and soldiers under him, not only to let them help the town of Zhuolu Trading Company, but also to release them, keep an eye on those who have taken the seeds of Zhuolu Trading Company, and urge them to hand over 30% of the harvest as soon as the grain is ripe.
As for the Zhuolu Trading Company, as long as someone is willing to plant, let them distribute seeds, and they will guarantee it in the name of the state capital to ensure that they can get the seed fee they should receive after receiving the grain.
In fact, it is only necessary to do this for the first time, once the harvest is harvested, the state capital can retreat, and if you want to continue planting, you naturally have to take out part of the grain from the previous season to buy seeds, and the harvest is so much, and there is no money and no grain to be credited.
Thinking of this, He Wenrui said with some excitement, "Virtuous nephew, I have a plan to remove this layer of obstacles." Then he said what he thought, and said with a smile, "With the state government as a guarantee, and there are officials to urge the fee afterwards, you don't have to worry, if you prevaricate, you can't say it." ”
"Yes, yes, my lord sees a thousand miles, since the state capital wants to benefit the people, we Zhuolu Trading Company should help each other." Zhiwen said this in his mouth, but his heart was full of joy.
