Wang Ning'an ceded the power of the government to Wen Yanbo, which meant that the huge land and countless resources must be subject to Wen Yanbo's ruling, although Wang Ning'an's share, the things that the king should get are indispensable. But Wen Yanbo still has huge resources at his disposal, in comparison, the so-called prime minister, in addition to a higher position and a more noble status, is actually not as good as now.

Wen Yanbo, including his son Wen Jifu, is a complete pragmatist, as long as there is interest, they turn around without any effort.

The father and son accompanied Wang Ning'an to ride a horse, running out of the wilderness for dozens of miles, and there was no end in sight.

What a big place, how many things can be done!

The father and son of the Wen family were ecstatic, and they became more and more intimate with Wang Ningan, and they couldn't wait to wear a pair of pants. Wen Yanbo's shameless momentum came up again.

"Erlang, the old man just got the news that the imperial court sent a group of promotion officials to inspect the situation of the new law at the local level."

Wang Ningan tightened the reins and slowed down the warhorse.

"If that's the case?"

"Yes." Wen Yanbo said: "Erlang, you overestimate Wang Jiefu, his Taoism still can't suppress all parties!" ”

Wang Ningan thought and nodded, "After all, the new law affects the interests of all parties, and it is not so easy to settle." But it should have nothing to do with the Northwest, no matter the Seedling Law or the average tax of Fangtian, it shouldn't be on our heads! ”

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly, "Erlang, you are still too careless, if someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, they will definitely not let it go." I heard that Qin Fenglu's promoter was named Lu Xu, he was a disciple of Song Zhen, and he had already arrived in Lanzhou, and he also went to visit his teacher. ”

"Song Zhen? Could it be that he still dares to oppose this king? ”

"Well...... People's hearts are like water, and the people are like smoke. The old man is not easy to say anything, but Erlang must not be careless, whether it is Song Zhen and Song Qi brothers, or Liang Shi and others, they are not easy to get along, they have deep roots, and there are many disciples. ”

Lao Wen poured out his heart and lungs and talked a lot to Wang Ningan, but when Wang Ningan heard it, he just smiled lightly.

You Wen Yanbo can use every word of other people's words on your old ghost, when it comes to shameless skills, you are much more powerful than them, otherwise, it wouldn't be your old guy dangling in front of my eyes.

Of course, even so, Wang Ningan can't do without Wen Yanbo, there are people to do government affairs, if you don't hand it over to Wen Yanbo, you have to hand it over to someone else, maybe, it's not as cute as Lao Wen!

But then again, Wen Yanbo can't be too easy alone, he needs to find a few opponents for him, Wang Ningan thought secretly.

Wen Xianggong didn't notice it yet, he took the opportunity to give Song Zhen eye medicine, but it didn't go bad, it was all sprinkled into his eyes, this is called lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!

Wen Yanbo said goodbye to Wang Ning'an, he had to go back to deal with the affairs of these farms and pastures, such a big piece of fat must be swallowed quickly.

Wang Ningan also returned to the temporary palace, and as soon as he came back, someone came over to do something, saying that there was a man named Ma Tao, who had been waiting for the prince for half an hour.

"Oh, please come in!"

Wang Ningan met Ma Tao in the living room, but it was not Ma Tao alone, but Song Zhen was also included.

"Song Xianggong, you are here, why don't you make sense, it's really rude!"

Song Zhen grimaced and laughed at himself, "The old man is just a criminal, and the prince is busy with official business, so how dare he disturb easily." ”

The old man's tone was not good, Ma Tao was on the side, and he was helpless, and he threw his hands at Wang Ning'an, which meant that he had no choice.

Wang Ning'an would not be angry with Song Zhen because of this matter, he smiled, "Song Xianggong, I did go out of the city to investigate just now, after all, so much land, you must be careful to deal with it, and there can be no mistakes." ”

Song Zhen saw that Wang Ningan took the initiative to mention the land, and he groaned slightly.

"Lord Wang, the old man doesn't dare to hide it, I heard that Lanzhou has borrowed a lot of green seedling money, all for the development of the farm? Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes!"

Wang Ningan agreed very happily, "Song Xianggong, there are just some things, I also want to ask you for details." ”

Song Zhen hurriedly surrendered his hand, "If the prince can afford it, the old man is willing to listen to it." ”

"Well, there are two ways to dispose of this land......"

Wang Ning'an immediately told Song Zhen that when the land was collected, one way was to directly distribute it to the meritorious soldiers, a few hundred acres per person, and then let them settle down in the northwest, and the court would not have to worry about it in the future. There is another way, that is, to concentrate the land, a few hundred acres is still too small, to establish thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of farms, 100,000 acres of pastures!

"Song Xianggong, these two have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first one, just a division of the field, no additional investment, the burden of the court can be lighter...... But throughout the dynasties, the land in the frontier was also allocated to the Han people, but not everyone was good at farming, and once the climate changed, the people in the frontier could not hold on, they would go bankrupt and move inward, and these lands would be occupied by nomads and become a springboard for attacking the Central Plains...... Isn't that how Western Xia rose! ”

Song Zhen nodded, "The prince has insight into thousands of miles, it is true, but it has been the case for all generations, do you have a better way?" ”

"That's the second point I said, whether you want to build a farm, or a big farm. Tens of thousands of acres of land, all year round, can earn at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, so much money, you can dig canals, dig wells, enhance the ability to resist disasters, and suitable for farming, suitable for raising horses, breeding, change, not without capital, the imperial court wants to help, there is also a hand. Moreover, it will be much more convenient to buy and sell large tracts of land. Even if one family doesn't want to do it, someone else will take over. All in all, it can build a solid defense line on the frontier and keep the nomadic cavalry out. ”

……

Wang Ningan talked a lot, and made the key clear, not to mention Song Zhen, even if Ma Tao nodded again and again, he is now a big farmer, and he is ready to become a big rancher in the future, indeed, if the land is concentrated, the ability to resist risks will be multiplied, Wang Ye is really a genius.

Song Zhen thinks more than Ma Tao, since Wang Ningan said that he wanted to concentrate the land, and gave the meritorious soldiers the land before, isn't this a contradiction, what kind of calculation did he make?

"Song Xianggong, that's the case, the ownership of the land is still a meritorious soldier, but it can be transferred and contracted."

"What do you mean by that?"

"For example...... Wang Ningan suddenly smiled, "Let's take you Song Xianggong as an analogy!" For example, if you have a crush on a piece of land, there are tens of thousands of acres, and you only need to pay a sum of money, and the land will be handed over to you, and it will always be yours if you pay it for five consecutive years. And this money, I will deposit it in the bank, and then return it to the meritorious soldiers in batches, what does Song Xianggong think? ”

Song Zhen took a deep breath!

Good you Wang Ning'an, you have figured out people's hearts thoroughly!

Not all veterans are willing to stay in the northwest, like Ma Tao, who married a daughter-in-law and became an official, they are naturally willing to stay, but there are still some soldiers, they have nothing but this little field.

There are fathers and brothers in the family, wives and children, and everything that is attached to them, and it is difficult to leave the homeland, which is not an empty word.

If they want to go home, they can't take care of the land, and if they want land, they can't go home, it's a dilemma.

The measures thrown by Wang Ningan just solved their problem, and they could buy a little land or do some business and live comfortably when they went home with a sum of money.

As mentioned earlier, the imperial court did not have the money to meet the needs of the veterans.

But there are not a few rich people in this world!

Contract land!

This is Wang Ning'an threw out a bait, waiting for someone to send him money!

"Lord Wang, the old man has the courage to ask for advice, how much is this land price?"

"Tentatively 500 per 10,000 mu, for five consecutive years, that is, 2,500 guan, on average, but 250 wen per mu of land, do you think the price is fair?"

It's not just fair, it's just the price of cabbage!

Song Zhen was thrilled and wanted to buy a piece.

"Lord, how much do you want for the tax?"

Wang Ningan smiled faintly, "No taxes!" ”

"What?" Song Zhen was shocked, "Lord Wang, since ancient times, the land has been cultivated, and the national tax on imperial grain is a matter of course, how can you not pay it?" ”

"Hahaha, Song Xianggong, the northwest land, different territories, because it is a large farm, the labor used is less, if it is like the mainland, the collection of land endowment, Dingkou endowment, and miscellaneous endowment, it must be much less than the mainland. However, if the land endowment is increased, the burden will be increased. It is better not to collect it at all, but each farm, in the output, should reserve a part, and the imperial court has the right to purchase according to the market price first. ”

Wang Ningan said with a smile: "In the northwest, there are constant wars, and it is necessary to requisition grain and grass to ensure supply, in the final analysis, it is also to protect various farms, which is taken from the people and used by the people. However, although the land is not collected, the grain is still bought and sold, and the transaction tax is still paid, otherwise, the soldiers and officials of the imperial court will not drink the northwest wind! ”

……

When he came back from the palace, Song Zhen was dizzy, he and Lu Zhi got some farm information from Ma Tao, and under curiosity, they found Wang Ning'an, and as a result, they got more of what they wanted.

Song Zhen's heart suddenly warmed up.

I have to say that the conditions offered by Wang Ningan are very generous, and so much land is placed there, which is not a lie.

On the other hand, Wang Anshi is pushing the new law again, and he has to clear the acres of land and pay taxes on all fields!

One side is attraction, the other side is pushing...... As long as you're not a fool, you should be able to think of how to deal with it.

Wonderful, wonderful!

Song Zhen suddenly felt a chill, could it be that Wang Ning'an had already calculated this step...... In that case, he's too powerful!

Back home, Song Zhen pondered for a long time, picked up the pen, and wrote an article of 5,000 words, this article is afraid that Song Zhen has written the most unliterary article in his life, dry and without any moisture!

But it has become the most influential article in Song Zhen's life!

When the article appeared in the newspaper in Xijing, overnight, Luoyang paper was expensive, and countless nobles and wealthy businessmen, officials and gentry, and clan nobles were all shocked!

There is only one thought left in everyone's heads: hurry up and go to the enclosure!!
