102 Commencement of immigration (II)

"Uncle Huang is right! Now we have to consider what kind of conditions we use to make those people voluntarily move to Jiaozhou and those two islands. ”

"I don't know Your Majesty, it's making this a long-term policy. Or is it a one-shot deal, and these places will be moved, forget it? ”

"Of course, it's going to be a long-term policy. Land annexation cannot be cured, it can only be delayed, and this method is the best way to delay. ”

"Your Majesty said, Wei Chen is thinking about it when he is fine. Now, there is a slight gain. ”

"Then Uncle Huang will tell me quickly."

Hearing that Liu Hong cared so much, Liu Qian said what he thought.

His method is not complicated, let those ordinary people who have no land and are willing to farm apply to the department set by the imperial court. The imperial court will allocate land to them, which is regarded as a privilege for the people of the Han Dynasty.

However, the distribution of land is carried out uniformly by the imperial court, which requires the applicant to obey the arrangement of the imperial court. There is a high probability that the applicant will be required to immigrate.

If the people are willing to emigrate, the imperial court will give great preferential treatment. If the land is allocated locally, each person can only be given a fixed 10 acres of tax-exempt land. And if you are willing to emigrate, you can give 50 acres of land per person, and you can also be exempt from taxes permanently.

In addition, all the costs in the process of relocation are borne by the imperial court, and the migrants are not allowed to spend a penny. Even the housing and settling-in expenses after arriving at the place are fully borne by the imperial court.

In order to avoid contradictions, immigration is entirely voluntary, and the imperial court will not be reluctant. If this batch of allocated land is not local, and you do not want to immigrate, you can continue to apply and wait for the next batch of allocation.

However, this land is a preferential treatment for the people. So this land, too, has a lot of restrictions. Since this land is distributed free of charge, it can only be inherited, not bought or sold. Since it was completely tax-free, half of the land's output had to be sold to the imperial court at a parity so that the imperial court had sufficient grain reserves.

If the land is not cultivated, it must be returned to the imperial court. If it is abandoned for two years, the court can forcibly take it back and punish it.

"Uncle Huang's method is good, and he thinks about it comprehensively, so let's do it." After listening, Liu Hong made a decision directly.

However, in order to facilitate management and protect the environment, we will not arbitrarily change farmland. After thinking about it, Liu Hong decided to implement a farm system of management for agriculture.

Landlords were required to apply for a farm license from the imperial court to determine the exact amount and use of the land. After all, in later generations, there were many lessons in the indiscriminate cultivation of wasteland, and Liu Hong needed to take precautions and put an end to it at the beginning.

However, in order not to exacerbate the contradictions, the establishment of farms was temporarily carried out on a voluntary basis.

After some discussions, Liu Hong and Liu Qian stipulated that those with less than 50 mu should be small farms, those with 50 to 3,000 mu should be medium-sized farms, and those with more than 3,000 mu should be large farms. As long as you apply for a license at the imperial court, you can immediately enjoy tax benefits according to the size of the farm, and the larger the farm, the greater the discount. Even in the future, they may enjoy subsidies or something, which are used to lure people to set up farms.

Now Ryukyu and Taiwan have just been discovered, and Jiaozhou is also a place where rabbits are seen more and people are rare, and the land is. Therefore, as long as you are willing to emigrate, one person should have at least a small farm of 50 acres, and also reward houses, livestock, travel expenses, and settlement expenses, so that immigrants have no worries at all.

Liu Hong thought very well, but this stumped Liu Qian.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has just spent a large sum of money on the construction of the school. It's a bit overwhelming to bear this cost now. ”

"What Uncle Huang said is true, but we can find another way to raise this fund."

"Oh, Your Majesty, tell me about it." Hearing this, Liu Qian was very excited.

Liu Hong didn't sell Guanzi either, and gave the answer directly, that is, to sell land.

Liu Hong is well aware of the family's greed for land. So he plans to sell some of the land in these places directly in exchange for some money to support immigrants.

As for this money, can it support the immigration? Liu Hong was not worried at all.

Selling land is definitely a profiteering industry in a profiteering industry. Look at those officials in later generations, by virtue of selling land, which one of them is not full of fat brains. Even in order to sell land, they did not hesitate to forcibly demolish people's houses, so they can know how big the profit is. Therefore, Liu Hong is absolutely sure that he will use the money from the sale of land to support the completion of immigration.

After the publicity of the newspapers, people knew that Dahan not only found two large islands uninhabited, but also found a large amount of high-quality arable land in Jiaozhou.

Crops are grown in these places at least three times a year, and in many places they are grown seven times in two years. And the land is good, almost throw the seeds on the ground, and then wait for the crops to be harvested, without any effort at all.

It's a bit of a miasma or something, but now there's a medicine for prevention. As long as you are willing to immigrate, you can get it for free.

People are very tempted, although immigration is a bit dangerous, but in these days, why is it not dangerous? As long as you arrive at the place of immigration, your future life will be guaranteed. Fifty acres of tax-free arable land for one person, and returning it to livestock, even a fool can live a very nourishing life, which is much better than being half-dead here.

There are many people who want to emigrate, but the family gate valve does not let them go. These people have emigrated, who will help them cultivate the land, will they let those land be wasted?

Liu Hong has been paying attention to the movements of the family gate valve. As soon as this situation appeared, Liu Hong immediately knew about it.

"What about it, the tenants and the slaves have signed a contract. They are also the legal property of those family lords, and I can't let them forcibly release them. Liu Hong had an idea, and there was a way, "It's not okay to forcibly release people, but it should still be possible to forcibly redeem oneself." ”

Although the redemption is free, Liu Hong is still afraid of the interference of those family valves. Therefore, he decreed that all the people of the Great Han have the right to choose the future, and they can redeem themselves for themselves, and no one can stop them.

Considering that the people had no money, Liu Hong ordered that if there was no money, he wanted to redeem himself. You can ask the court for help, and the court will help you pay in advance, and you will pay it back when you have the money. Anyway, after these people redeem themselves, almost all of them will emigrate, and they will have houses and land by then, so Liu Hong is not afraid that they will repay their debts.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the population was very cheap, and the money for redemption would not be too much. Liu Hong calculated, as long as he learned pinyin and thousand-character texts, three-character scriptures, and hundred family names, the bounty he got was enough to redeem himself. So with a little effort, you can afford it. Basically, there is no need for the help of the imperial court.

The tenants of the family have all gone clean, leaving their land uncultivated, which is not what Liu Hong wants to see. Therefore, Liu Hong proposed a method of exchanging servants for foreign slaves to compensate. One servant for two foreign slaves, and one tenant for one foreign slave, valid for a long time. In this way, it can also make the family gate valve have no worries and let them not make trouble.
