"When the time comes, it will naturally be the rich and the poor will have no place to stand! Han Du really deserves to be born as a businessman, and he has a good calculation, hearing that Han Du is so generous, can the gentry of the world serve wholeheartedly......"

When the sarcastic sound sounded in the auditorium, almost everyone turned their eyes to Du Nanlin, and everyone was sweating for his boldness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Those who knew him well shook their heads and sighed at his recklessness.

It is well known that Han Du treats people leniently, but his words of Xi Nanlin are almost "words of great rebellion". If it were anyone, I'm afraid he would cut off his head!

In the face of Xi Nanlin's "accusation", although he was a little annoyed in his heart, Zhu Yifeng chose to be silent, saw this person coldly, and sneered in his heart, now he really has the urge to kill.

The urge to kill was not stronger than the urge to knock his elm head open and see, it was so strong because he wanted to see how stupid it was. Because he has explained so much, doesn't he have long ears and no brains?

He doesn't have a brain at all, his brain doesn't use it to think, he's just messing around here. Except for messing around, he just doesn't know bullshit at all.

Now Zhu Yifeng even sympathizes with those emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it is this kind of person who wants to make a name for himself. Tomorrow morning it will be ruined by this kind of person, and many people in China will be ruined by this kind of person.

And Xi Nanlin, who is in the spotlight, will not have any intention of restraint. Perhaps realizing himself, perhaps he was even more unscrupulous, and he even seemed a little excited now, because he knew that after today, his reputation would be praised by the world, because people would remember him today without fear of authority, and remember his courage to speak out.

Therefore, Han Du meant to advocate for those gentry land, so that the land vacated by those people after entering the city could be sold to the gentry landlords, so that he would become a rich man in China! Do you want to buy the gentry of the world? ”

This is no longer an accusation!

It's an insult! It's an insult to personality!

"Xi Nanlin!"

Huang Huijiu, the head of the household department, immediately reprimanded loudly.

"Who gave you the guts to talk nonsense here, and someone came...... I'll take him down for me. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to plead guilty, and now he knew that there was no one left to save this idiot, and now he even regretted it, regretting why he was subjected to such a fool and entered the academy. An official with an upright personality can use it, but a person like this, he is not upright, he is clearly speculating! is trying to make a name for himself by insulting Han Du, this kind of person deserves to be punished!

"Stupid!"

Faced with this almost abusive language, without waiting for Xi Nanlin to speak again, Zhu Yifeng stared at it and scolded with a sneer.

"Such stupid words actually came from the mouth of the students of the Todo Academy, I think this book is for you to read into the pig's head! Let him stay first, and Ben Du will give him a good make-up for this lesson? ”

There was no more politeness in Zhu Yifeng's words, and he stretched out his hand to stop the personnel who wanted to take Xi Nanlin down. For this kind of person, if he wants to be famous, then let him be notorious. sneered, and there was not the slightest politeness in Zhu Yifeng's tone.

“…… At that time, there will be one or two million acres of land vacated in the countryside, and of course those lands will not be idle, those lands will be sold, and at the beginning, there will be landlords who will buy those lands, but after a few years, not only will they not buy, they will also do everything possible to sell their own land! ”

How is this possible!

Zhao Linchuan looked at Han Du on the stage in surprise, and then asked Li Peigen next to him in surprise.

"Brother Li, will your family really sell land then?"

"Selling land? It's a fool to sell, why don't you take advantage of this time to buy a few more acres? ”

As the second young master of the Li family in Xiangtan, Li Peigen naturally knows what land is, land is wealth, and the most valuable thing for thousands of years is land. When someone is selling, of course, you have to buy more, although those poor people's are all small pieces, but if you buy more, it will naturally become a large piece.

"Isn't it, a fool sells it!"

"That is, if I had money, I would buy more land in the township."

"But no, I'm still waiting for us to make a fortune and buy some land at home."

Seeing that everyone was talking to each other, the auditorium was even more unkempt, and you could vaguely hear what they were saying, and all they said was that they thought it was impossible. It's nothing more than saying their own idea - Land.

For thousands of years, this has been the thinking of the Chinese people, and when people who do business make money, they want to buy land, and those who are officials outside the country also want to buy land. It seems that buying land is their only option, not seemingly, but fact!

Just took a sip of tea, Zhu Yifeng took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, sorted out his thoughts, and then looked at the students in the audience.

"Everyone must be wondering why they will sell all the land when the time comes, and they have to do everything possible to sell it, and they don't even want to do everything they can, and his land can't be sold. Everyone must think it's impossible! Buying land and running a property has been like this for thousands of years! After doing business and making money, I have to go back to my hometown to buy more land! When you become an official, you will also use your income to buy land and property, and cultivate and read heirlooms! ”

Although those who are officials do not use their own money to buy land, but here, Zhu Yifeng still explains all this in relatively euphemistic terms, instead of saying that he went to buy land after being promoted and made a fortune, after all, there is only one possibility to be promoted and rich, that is, corruption and bribery.

"Cultivating and reading heirlooms for thousands of years! Businessmen, officials, and ordinary people are all the same. ”

Not only did the students in the audience nod, such as Huang Huijiu, Lin Zhiping and others all nodded one after another, others didn't say it, it was Lin Zhiping himself, the poor scholar at the beginning, and now he has also purchased hundreds of acres of land in his hometown in the countryside, and even wrote to his younger brother in his hometown, asking him to buy more land. What I think about is also to cultivate and read heirlooms.

Is this wrong?

"Of course, Chinese people have been like this for thousands of years, this is very right, there is nothing wrong with it! But people have forgotten one thing - this is not the old time! ”

Zhu Yifeng smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup, and even glanced at Lin Zhiping, who naturally heard about his purchase of land in the countryside, in fact, many officials in the palace are like this. Revolution, life, or rebellion have always been the replacement of the old class by a new upstart class, and in China, the most valuable thing that can reflect the nouveau riche is land. At this time, they were justified in buying land, and they were encouraged to do so - in Borneo, for example, a lot of land was given to them, so the land was allocated there for them to run and to make them profitable in overseas colonization, and then to support overseas colonization. It was a sharing of interests, in order to drive them to become supporters, not opponents, of overseas colonization.

As for their purchase of land in the countryside, Zhu Yifeng also has no objection, and he does not return to his hometown, such as brocade clothes walking at night. They need to show the villagers their success and status today, then let them show off, but what they don't know is that they are making a wrong choice.

"People only see the land, but they ignore one thing - the land needs people to plant, if no one plants it! Then it's not worth a penny! ”

Zhu Yifeng smiled, holding the teacup casually, feeling the temperature of the cup. When he looked at Xi Nanze, he was a little surprised, and his smile turned into a sneer.

"How is it possible, how is it possible that no one is going to farm."

"That is, who will not farm, and what will they eat if they don't farm?"

As before, everyone was talking about it, but now they don't think it's realistic. As far as they understand it, it's really unrealistic. It has been this way for thousands of years.

"If people who do business don't farm, what do they eat? Workers don't farm, what do they eat? They are buying food with silver! Don't forget, there are 10 to 20 million people who have come out of the countryside, and more and more will come in the future, and in the future, seventy or eighty percent of the country's population will work and live in the cities. When the time comes, who will the landlord hire to farm the land? Among you here, there are also gentry families, and the fertile land at home can range from hundreds of acres to thousands or even thousands of acres. If there is no long-term work, who will plant the land? Even if you roll up your trouser legs and go down to the fields, how can you finish planting those fields? ”

With a "boom", Li Peigen, who was still saying "only fools sell", only felt a thunderclap ringing in his ears, and he immediately understood the meaning of Han Du's words - it was not that there was no one to farm, but that there were not enough people to farm. If no one farms, the land will be wasted, and naturally it will be worthless.

The reason why land is valuable is because there are people to plant it, and if there is no one to plant it, then the land will naturally be worthless. Scarcity is expensive, no matter what the industry is.

"How much do long-term and short-term workers in the countryside earn now? How much do they earn working in the city? If you were asked to pay two taels of silver a month for a long-term worker, would you be willing? Don't want to? So he went to work in the city, where he could earn more money. Okay, in order to keep the field from being put on hold, you take two taels of silver to hire a long-term worker, this year's two taels can be so what about next year? You must know that the wages in the factory are rising! What will you do then? What to do? ”

Looking at the people in the audience who were dumbfounded, in a trance, and a little at a loss, Zhu Yifeng continued to be alarmist and deliberately emphasized.

"Continue to process money, no one will work for you if you don't process money. Well, you process money! The more you are paid for long-term and short-term workers, the less money you earn from the land, what will you do then? Deserted? Is it possible? Do I have to pay taxes? The national tax on imperial grain is justified! Not even a penny less! If others are willing, the Governor will not allow it. By that time, there was no one to give you the land. You also have to pay the Imperial Grain State Tax. What to do at that time? ”

Looking at everyone, Zhu Yifeng asked rhetorically, and then he said with a sneer.

"When the time comes, land will not be a wealth for you, but a burden! It's all a burden, will it still be worth it? When the time comes, the land in the countryside will become less and less valuable -- because compared with farming, investing in industry and commerce is more profitable, just like the No. 1 Silk Factory in Hunan, but it is only a few thousand taels, and it earns more than 10,000 taels in less than a year. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit! ”

Seeing that everyone was pondering thoughtfully, Zhu Yifeng, who knew that they couldn't adapt to this concept for a while, looked at Xi Nanlin coldly, and his smile became colder and colder. More with a kind of mockery.

"The rich man Tian Lianqian Mo...... When the time comes, it will be the burden of burden! ”

The reason why Zhu Yifeng was able to say these words so confidently was that his work experience at the grassroots level made him very aware that the biggest problem in China's rural areas in the 21st century is the hollowing out of the countryside -- young and middle-aged people, both men and women, go out to work, and no one wants to farm. So much so that after the 10s of the 21st century, the biggest problem that plagued the government was that those farmers who owned one-third of an acre of land were unwilling to farm!

In order to solve this problem, the government is constantly promoting the industrialization of agricultural operations. Ordinary peasant households, who only have a few acres of land in the face of the market, do not have any bargaining power and are in a passive position in the market. In contrast, industrial operators with thousands of acres or more to 10,000 acres can obtain seeds and fertilizers at lower prices, and the prices of planting and harvesting services are lower than that of ordinary farmers per household. This means that their production costs are lower, and their costs are 30% or more lower than that of ordinary farmers, because they have bargaining power at scale, and as for small farmers, they have no bargaining power in front of businessmen.

Of course, this is ideal, in fact, the production cost of agricultural industrialization operators will not be reduced in China in the future, or even increased!

This is because the land of those agricultural industrialization operators is rented from scattered peasant households, and the cost of land for rented farming pushes up the cost of industrialized operation. In order to promote the industrialization of agriculture, the government has even had to introduce supportive policies to provide a large number of subsidies to industrial operators, so that agriculture has become a burden and burden for the government.

On the one hand, industrialized management is the only way for agricultural development, and it is impossible to reduce production costs without this. On the other hand, the land is scattered among small farmers, and if the rent is too low, they would rather abandon it – even if the government subsidizes it, and in the age of agricultural mechanization, they don't need to abandon it at all.

Even if the government wants to let those lands flow into the market, if it is tens of thousands of yuan per mu, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, how many industrial operators can afford it? If the price is too low, who will protect the interests of farmers. China's agricultural industrialization has missed its opportunity, and when land may become a "burden", it does not flow into the agricultural market, and after it becomes wealth, it can only enter the real estate market at best.

Could it be that it is impossible to carry out agricultural industrialization at this time, the future gave Zhu Yifeng the answer. But this answer is ignored by many people, who ignore it because they don't know about agriculture at all, or because they are self-righteous.

Self-righteousness taken for granted!

Just like Xi Nanze, he doesn't know what agriculture is, and he doesn't know what the future direction of agriculture is.

The ignorant are fearless!

He's the kind of person he's talking about!

Looking at him, Zhu Yifeng sneered.

"Because they can't find tenant farmers to farm! But they also have to bear taxes, and they also need to bear the burden of errand labor. If it's not a burden, what is it? ”

When everyone was deep in thought, Zhu Yifeng's expression became relaxed, and his tone increased again.

"Guys, do you think you're going to buy or sell the land?"

Whether to buy or sell is a question!

Looking at the people who were in deep thought, Zhu Yifeng's heart seemed a little proud, he looked even more relaxed, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath. Looking at the smoke he exhaled, this was the first time that he showed his attitude towards the "land" to outsiders. When he looked towards Xi Nannan again, looking at the pale face, Zhu Yifeng's heart was not disgusted before, but instead of a strange kind of thanks, thanking him for his "stupidity".

Last time, because of his "stupidity", he was able to tell this truth. To be able to let the outside world know your mind, and more importantly, to send this signal to the outside world.

"Han, Han Governor ......"

Li Peigen, who couldn't control the panic in his heart, looked at Han Du on the stage, and he stood up.

"Then, if everyone in the world does not farm in the future, what will everyone eat at that time?"

Yes, what does everyone eat if no one goes to farm? Factories, can factories produce food?

Facing Li Peigen's question, Zhu Yifeng asked with a smile.

"Do you know the machine?"

Zhu Yifeng asked rhetorically.

"Machines can plow, they can harvest!"

Looking at the students and officials in the audience, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"Just as machines are used to replace manpower in factories, in agricultural production, we can also replace manpower with machines, and this is the direction of future development."

Machines are the way of the future, agricultural mechanization to be precise. a premise for the industrialization of agriculture; It's the mechanization of agriculture. Of course, this is a long process. It will take decades, if not hundreds of years, to develop. Otherwise, a real breakthrough cannot be achieved technically.

"Farmers, small farmers to be precise, they can't spontaneously replace human labor with machines, and in the face of technological progress, more often than not, they are passive! And not on the initiative! ”

Weigh the cost!

Smallholder farmers will be less than economical in their calculations to use machines. At this time, the students and officials in the audience were all in deep thought, and what they heard today undoubtedly subverted all traditional concepts.

"As for the grain, as for what the workers eat! I can tell you very responsibly. Small farmers will store food, they need to prepare for famine, but landlords will not, what do they care more about? They are more concerned about the return of wealth from the land. They are willing to sell their grain to the cities for more money in return, and if one day, when the rich are in the fields, there will only be more and more food supplies in the market. This is one of the simplest arithmetic problems. ”

Yes, this is the simplest arithmetic.

"1,000 acres of land is a family's famine, in fact, ten acres of land is a family's famine, and that one will have more surplus food. Ten acres of land, a family needs to eat six or seven acres of output, and then take out two acres of output to prepare for the famine, how much can be supplied to the market at that time? Therefore, what agriculture needs is large-scale, not a small farmer operation of several acres, and the operation of small farmers will never solve the problem of farmers' income, looking at the one acre and three points of land, the farmers will never be rich, and the one acre and three points of land will only bring common poverty and will not bring common prosperity, and in this world, only common poverty, there will never be common prosperity. ”

Zhu Yifeng sneered and said this most basic axiom in the world, but it is a pity that it is such the simplest axiom that has taken decades, or even hundreds of years, and many people still won't admit that they always ideally think that all people can be prosperous together, is this possible?

Of course, there is not the slightest possibility.

Even if it is the same business, some people succeed and some people lose money.

Could it be that people who lose money should blame society for all this? Just as everything is now attributed to the poverty of the peasants to land annexation, to the unscrupulousness of the landlords.

Looking at Xi Nanze, Zhu Yifeng said coldly.

"Now you tell me, why are you literate and others are not, why, you can go to the Tobe School and others can't, is that fair? Why can't you give up your opportunity to read to someone else? Fair, if absolutely fair. You answer me, why is that? ”

There has never been fairness in the world, and even as a government there is no guarantee of fairness.

"For the government, to guarantee fairness, the government can only guarantee that loving people is equal before the law. The law is the last bottom line of social justice, and as for absolute fairness, I can say responsibly that as long as human beings exist for one day, there can never be absolute fairness. ”

In the face of this undisguised sarcasm, Xi Nanze's face turned red and white for a while, so that he squeaked and didn't know what to say. He looked out toward his classmates and tried to rally support from them, but to his disappointment, even his best friend chose to avoid them.

"I ...... I ......"

Just when Xi Nanze wanted to defend himself, Zhu Yifeng interrupted him with a sneer.

"You're stupid!"

After using one sentence as an evaluation, Zhu Yifeng looked at him and continued.

"You don't want to see this fact, you want to refute it with this view. I can tell you very clearly now that no matter how perfect our ideas are, no matter how compassionate we are, we can never change the fact that this world is the law of the jungle. It can never be changed! Because man is selfish! It's like you can always give up your chance to read to someone else! ”

After a burst of cynicism, Zhu Yifeng turned his gaze to the students in the audience.

"You have to remember that when the rich have no land and the poor have no place to stand, the government's responsibility is to let the poor have an inch of land, so we must do everything possible to provide employment opportunities for the poor and give them the opportunity to change their own destiny, instead of letting them continue to be trapped in the one-third of an acre of land on which they depend, to live a life of barely making ends meet. If that's the case, it's a failure of the government! Because it is the government's responsibility to do everything possible to make everyone rich, not to impoverish everyone. ”

After a slight pause, Zhu Yifeng said in an exclamatory tone.

"So now, what's our biggest responsibility? It is to do everything possible to provide employment opportunities, let poor farmers in rural areas enter factories, provide them with employment opportunities, provide them with employment help, and change their destiny. And on the other hand? ”

Zhu Yifeng looked at the students in the audience, who were at least from rich peasant families, and said.

"We also need to help the farmers, and what is this help? It is to study agricultural machinery as much as possible to avoid the land being wasted in the future when no one farms! (To be continued.) )
