Chapter 708: Something to Play
readx;
The New Deal was in full swing, and by the way, it also alleviated the serious phenomenon of land annexation in the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe land annexation in the north is generally the landlords who lend usury, and after the interest is rolled, they force the peasant households to go bankrupt, and there is nothing worthwhile, so they naturally swallow up the land.
Behind this kind of cunning and plundering, it is implied that the ability of the people of Dashun to resist risks is extremely low, and if a family member has a serious illness or something, he will go bankrupt. Don't say that at this time, it is the afterlife, isn't it the same? This is also the fundamental intention of Lu Chengqi to set up welfare homes, nursing homes and medicine bureaus, so that everyone can afford to get sick. Of course, this new deal will inevitably offend the interests of some people, but why fear? Take those big landlords who own hundreds of acres of land, who told you to steal other people's land, now you can't farm, it's wasted, and you have to pay taxes, who is to blame?
The imperial court has long advocated the sale of land for business, and it is also your own choice if you want to sit and collect money if you want to sit and collect money. As soon as the new deal came out, the mainland price fell to the bottom in two months, and you were in a hurry to sell, but for a while, who could afford to buy so much land! The more it sells, the more panic it becomes, and if it weren't for Huangzhuang's large-scale purchase, I'm afraid that the economy of many places would collapse. After all, the proportion of agriculture in Dashun still accounts for eighty percent, agriculture is unstable, and business is over.
The minister of the DPRK and China also has a lot of land at home. Although they were appointed officials of the imperial court and did not have to pay taxes, there were no tenants willing to help them farm the land, and they could not get anywhere. The officials from the poor family are okay, and the family is only a few acres of barren fields, but some high-ranking families are about to cry!
No, for half a month, many court officials have besieged Lu Chengqi, just crying about all kinds of bad things about the new policy, saying that land prices have plummeted, tenants have run out, and the fields are barren...... is even alarmist, saying that if this continues, Dashun will "the building will fall", and there will be no return......
Anyway, no matter how exaggerated it is, Lu Chengqi took a lot of time to take out the information from the investigation of the Supervision Department, the population of Jiangnan has doubled, and the land reclaimed in winter has reached hundreds of thousands of hectares......
This time, the ministers were powerless to refute. Of course, these civil officials will not obediently admit defeat and strike on the side. Lu Chengqi's deepest memory is that Zhang Fangping, who had just been transferred back to Chang'an and had not yet been sent to an official position, came to ask for an audience for several days, and he kept playing. One of the notes reads: "...... The husband is average, not willing to be strong and strong and poor and weak, not indulgent in treachery and poor and stupid, this is also said to be even. Therefore, the sage said: "There is no poverty in the cover." “
However, the master of wealth and goods is not easy to achieve. Weaving and spinning, starting gradually, not between the ten days, can be made. It starts from persuasion and makes pre-camp reason. Silk Township first made weaving, hemp early repair and spinning. Prepare at the first time, and lose at the time, so the king will resume the offering, and the people will not be in trouble. If he does not pre-admonish, he is temporarily urgent, and he is afraid of delay, thinking that he is his own fault, and he will be handed over to the present. Wealthy businessmen, fate shoots profits, some buy from it, and none have it. The people who lose taxes are disadvantaged. At the time of taxation, although there is a large form, as for the consideration of the rich and the poor, the order of difference is all based on the right and long, and it is related to the observance of orders. If you consider what you want, the government will be peaceful and the people will be happy; If there is no way to prosecute, the officials will be treacherous and the people will be resentful. and sent out conscription, and there was no intention. As a result, the poor and weak may be reinstated and far away, and the rich and strong may be lightly guarded up. If you obey the order and use it like this, you will not have compassion for the people, and you will be the sinners of the king's government...... If its people are water, they can float or capsize. The husband fights like fire, and the long war leads to fire. If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, he will surely be overturned and ......burned."
The original text is too long, and it also cites scriptures, saying that the New Deal is not good here and bad there. Every time Lu Chengqi "humbly accepted advice", and then he just didn't change, so angry that this little old man's hair soared several times, and hurriedly ran into the palace to find Lu Chengqi to reason. Lu Chengqi was afraid of him, and now he hid as soon as he saw him, and even wanted the officials to transfer him out of Chang'an, this kind of "upright loyal minister" is really too difficult to serve.
However, Zhang Fangping is also reasonable, blindly killing the rich and helping the poor is not a solution. But these landlords did not listen to persuasion and refused to sell their land to do business, who is to blame? Do you want to let the peasant households who have no capital in their hands go into business? And no one doesn't know that the profits of doing business are much higher than farming. But these landlords are like stones in a pit, hard and smelly, which shows that there are people in the court and are working against the court.
If Zhang Fangping's words were more earnest, maybe Lu Chengqi would accept some of them. But his memorabilia, like a knife, cut off the New Deal. If there is a different emperor, maybe he will be demoted again.
Finally escaped yesterday, Lu Chengqi just went to the vertical arch hall today to "work", before he sat on the hot dragon chair, Gao Hao walked in with a strange face, Lu Chengqi looked at it, his heart "chuckled", and said with a wry smile: "Here again?" ”
Gao Hao nodded, not daring to look at Lu Chengqi: "Your Majesty, do you want to leave from the back of the palace?" ”
Lu Chengqi thought about it, he had been hiding from Zhang Fangping for six or seven days in a row, and he would find an excuse again today, for fear that the rest of the officials would have rumors. "That's it, that's it, let's announce his audience!"
"Yes!"
After Gao Ho withdrew, a tall and thin official came in, bowed for a long time, and said in a loud voice: "See Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" ”
Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "Zhang Qing, I'm not busy, I'm thinking about something, you come to tell me, what should I do?" ”
Zhang Fangping was stunned for a moment, so he had to hold back what he wanted to say and stand aside silently.
"Come on, give Zhang Qing a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Zhang Fangping sat down, Lu Chengqi asked with a face: "Zhang Qing thinks that this money is released by the people, is it a maladministration?" ”
Zhang Fangping was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "There are disadvantages and advantages!" ”
Lu Chengqi sighed and said, "Yes, Li was able to solve the siege for a while, but after that, he was poor. I remember that when the Royal Bank did not introduce a lending business before, the money people lent money, and the better ones were two cents, and even more three-cents, and the interest was rolled, and the money was rolled. How can a farmer have so much money to repay? ”
Zhang Fangping was stunned: "Isn't there a court lending now?" ”
Lu Chengqi sighed: "Yes, the Royal Bank has robbed a lot of people's jobs, and they are not happy." These wealthy people are also big landlords, sitting on 100 acres of land, or even 1,000 mu of land, even if they collect tenant rent, they can also live a very chic life. But those tenant farmers are miserable, they don't have their own fields, even if the court only collects 10% of the tax, they have to pay 40%, what about it? ”
Zhang Fangping was very smart, knowing that Lu Chengqi wanted to curb the land annexation, and pondered for a while before he said slowly: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, there are not many landlords of 100 acres of land......
Lu Chengqi sneered: "They all attribute the land property to the officials of the DPRK and China, of course there are not many!" ”
Zhang Fangping said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, is this matter serious? ”
Lu Chengqi knew that he was too upright, but he didn't know that the loopholes in the policy were the most exploited by the court officials. "The property is in the name of the officials, and it is exempt from taxes, and they purely earn tenant rent, and the court cannot collect a penny of taxes, which is really hateful. Why was the treasury so difficult before, isn't it because there are too many of these people? It's money again, and it's rent collection, it's really a rich country! ”
Zhang Fangping was a cautious person, and asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you know about this?" ”
