"Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and we still have to carefully understand the situation at the grassroots level in order to make a final decision on the reform. Wang Xinyu, you make a report on the situation collected some time ago. Li Ji and the mud changed the subject.

"First of all, we have to understand the background of the current empire, we have now become a force that can change the future of the empire, but the big background is not something that we, the little butterfly that is not a big roc bird, can change.

In the vast rural areas and land border areas, the primitive and backward ethnic minority areas are still in the Stone Age of slash-and-burn cultivation or the Wood Age that is more striking at our hunting civilization. Although the population is almost zero relative to the Chengdu Plain, Guanzhong Plain, Hanzhong Plain, Taihu Plain in the south of the Yangtze River and the Jianghuai region. However, on the whole, these areas are the areas that we will vigorously develop in the future, because these areas are small in population, the clan power is weak, and the conservative forces are basically unable to penetrate and deal with our strong dumping and infiltration, plus they are rich in resources and low prices. It's simply the land of our future dragons.

Know that the poorer the place, the better the ability for people to change and accept habits. It is difficult for us to promote the large-scale real estate and agricultural revolution in the traditional areas with dense population, but there is great potential in the few marginal and poor areas, and it is very easy. For example, the low-cost land in Qianzhou and Chenzhou, at the junction of Kuizhou Road and Jinghu North Road, is simply given away for nothing, and no one wants it. In later generations, the territory was three times larger than that of the Great Song Empire, and the cultivated land area once reached 2 billion mu, nearly three times that of 720 million mu according to our statistics. However, the distribution of cultivated land is still dominated within the Great Song Empire, and the extra billion mu of land is those undeveloped poor areas and the Northeast Plain. Even if it is discounted and discounted, there are more than 300 million acres of undeveloped land in the territory. According to the current productive forces, we can feed at least 50 million people, and if we count according to our agricultural productive forces, 1.8 billion mu can feed 1.4 billion people, and it is very easy to feed 100 million people.

As for the indicators of population density, cultivated land area, and agricultural productivity, there is a clear situation in which the west is not as good as the east and the north is not as good as the south. The Fujian Road in the southeast is so densely populated that every hill is reclaimed as terraced fields. Qinfeng Road in the northwest is simply a deserted wilderness. Sadly, the productivity of the land is 'too low' and our plans are largely impossible.

Originally, we planned to use dumping to hit the country's rural areas, but our land is still too small, and even if our average productivity is five times that of the highest high-yield fields in the Taihu Lake Basin, we cannot use 1 percent of the country's arable land to attack the old small-scale peasant economic system of 99% of the land. If we want to achieve our goal, we need to increase the percentage of land occupied by us to at least 5%, and our production to more than 25% in order to achieve the goal of attacking the old system.

As for the method of using a negotiated unified purchase and underwriting contract to purchase grain at a higher price than the market price when it is on the market, and to sell it at a lower price than the market price when the grain is not in stock, although it is plagiarism, it is really difficult to carry out without an official background. There is too much resistance to this kind of snatching of jobs from local tyrants and usury. Many of the agents we train can only go around the periphery of the city, and it is difficult for them to go deep into the marginal villages. Although the goods we dumped are very attractive in the countryside and the purchase price is very fair, the villagers are basically not seen in the city by Haoqiang! ”

"I mean, why are the needles and threads produced recently and the pesticides that are in high demand in the rural areas out of stock, is it that those agents are trying to sell them to those profiteers and gentry in order to meet the targets, and then they sell them to the villagers at a slightly lower price than the market price." Liu Xin immediately remembered what he found wrong when he checked the accounts.

"Yes, it's because those agents are helpless, originally for easy control, but I didn't expect that those small merchants who didn't have the support of local forces in their hometown couldn't support the wall. Even if we give the greatest support through credit sales, interest-free and low-interest loans, technical support, advertising planning, and public relations in the yamen, they still can't break into the rural market, and the current market of 20% of the urban population is far from satisfying our production capacity. Qian Jin hated iron and shook his head.

"We are now finally getting a sense of what the British felt about the pre-1840 domestic market in the Qing Empire, a small-scale peasant economy that was self-sufficient. But it doesn't matter, we can attack the landlords' defenses from the easiest place to attack. If we want to knock on that closed door, we have to bring out the goods that make our owners want and what they want most. What they want most is land, and we happen to have the technology to develop the land, and we can easily increase their land output by more than three times, and that's our killer feature. All landlords who dare to blockade us will pay the price of their bankruptcy. If you can't knock on the door, you can learn from the experience of later generations, and directly break that door through various means? Li Ji took out a map of the distribution of land resources and a plan.

"If we have enough arable land and food, dumping and suppressing land prices can make them more liabilities than assets, and they will have to work with us to avoid bankruptcy. As long as we drain their deposits and caches of cash with all kinds of goods and financial services, and let them go into debt to buy a large number of luxury-level cattle and horses, horse-drawn carriages, modern villa-style mansions, and large quantities of goods in high-end consumption places, etc., we can easily make them indebted. Through dumping and immigration, food and land are oversupplied, and when the price of food and labor is greatly reduced, their assets will naturally shrink below their liabilities. As long as the loan is slightly carded, it will strangle them, and I am not afraid that they will not cooperate obediently. ”

"Yes, no, no one knows, at least no one knows how efficiently installments can make a person or a family poor. This kind of innovation can be said to be the biggest promoter for mankind to enter the era of national debt. We can only express regret and sympathy for the future fate of those disobedient landlords. Zhao Shouzhong sighed.
