Chapter 23 Rent Reduction and Interest Reduction

The steps are too big, and it is easy to pull off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This sentence is a wise saying!

Zheng Chenggong thought that he could build the chassis as soon as possible, and planned a lot of project construction, but in the end he found that there was not enough money and not enough people!

Without money and no one, these projects will eventually become unfinished, and all the preliminary investment will be wasted, and they will be pitted and the people will be trapped.

Zheng Chenggong didn't want to see such an ending.

In order to find a way to raise enough funds, Zheng Chenggong thought of robbery.

In order to move from feudalism to capitalism, two basic conditions must be met: First. There were large numbers of free laborers who lived by selling their laborers;

The second is the accumulation of primitive capital.

Historically, the new bourgeoisie and the new landowners in England accelerated the accumulation of primitive capital and completed large-scale industrial production through the means of land enclosure, pirate raids, bloody colonial plunder, opium trafficking and other plundering methods.

Capital comes into the world, dripping with blood and filth from head to toe.

Zheng Chenggong did not want to accumulate raw capital by plundering the Han people, so he could only accumulate it by plundering the wealth of other countries.

The piracy and raiding activities have allowed the Four Seas Group to accumulate a wealth of wealth, but unfortunately this way of making money quickly has to be stopped for the time being.

It was a big mistake not to send someone to explore the route to the Americas at the beginning, otherwise he would have gone directly to the Americas to grab gold and silver.

Forget it, you can't go to the Americas, so Fuso, Goryeo, Burma, Annam and other countries are waiting to be colonies!

Zheng Chenggong sent people to Lin Xishan, Xu Long, Shi Lang, and Huang Wu personally.

Lin Xishan took the lead, reasonably arranged personnel, and then went to Fusang, Goryeo, Annam, and Burma to rob it, and asked for money, food, and people, as long as it was useful.

Although there is a financial crisis now, it is impossible for Zheng Chenggong to send a large number of soldiers to fight the bandits.

Killing people by soldiers is not a problem!

But killing, robbing, and even ......

These have been pirates, they have been robbers, and unless they are retired, these people can no longer serve in the army.

Otherwise, Zheng Jiajun will deteriorate, and it will be even more difficult to remove this poison sac.

Thinking about the actual needs and support of the army

Zheng Chenggong decided to send 5,000 soldiers and horses to be robbers.

Orders were sent out one by one, and after Zheng Chenggong dealt with the problem of primitive capital accumulation, he began to deal with military affairs.

During the two months of continuous campaigning, our army suffered more than 300 actual battle losses.

This month, more than 28,000 people have been recruited, and at the same time, there are 30,000 or 40,000 Green Battalion soldiers that have been collected piecemeal, and now the strength of our army has recovered to the number before the Anqing Campaign.

However, there is a big gap between the new sergeants and the battle-damaged veterans in terms of combat effectiveness.

These soldiers also have to go to the military academy for rigorous training before they can be of great use.

Our army has recently occupied Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Huaibei and other places, the battle line has been lengthened, and there are not enough soldiers and horses, so for the time being, we are unable to take the initiative to attack.

The Manchus suffered one defeat after another, suffered heavy losses, and were unable to deal with both the Zheng army and the Great Western army.

The failure of the Baoqing Battle of the Great Western Army, most of the veterans of many years of fighting were killed, coupled with the internal strife between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, the Great Western Army did not say that it was a little difficult to defend Chengdu.

Li Chengdong's chassis was surrounded by the chassis of the Zheng Jiajun and the Great Western Army, and there was no chance to compete for the world except to be trapped in one place.

When the four sides were powerless to attack, there was a rare moment of calm in the land of China.

Under the organization of Lu Ruoteng, Wang Zhongxiao and other civil officials, he coordinated the distribution of grain, calmed the people's hearts, and organized the people to return to their homes and resume farming, and everything was arranged by him in an orderly manner. Those who fled to the mountains and forests returned to their homes and began to cultivate the crops with the grain they had been allocated.

In addition, Zheng Chenggong has repeatedly sent people to repair water conservancy, and the harvest of the people in September this year is much better than in previous years.

In order to help the people reduce their burden, Zheng Chenggong sent people to the countryside many times to persuade them, and in addition to giving a lot of compensation measures, most of the landlords echoed Zheng Chenggong's policy of reducing rent and interest for landlords and paying interest and rent for farmers.

In principle, the landlord should reduce the original rent by 25 percent.

The annual interest of the loan relationship recognized by the government under Zheng Chenggong generally shall not exceed one and a half cents, and if the debtor has paid more than twice the original interest, the interest will be suspended and the principal shall be repaid, and if the interest payment has exceeded twice the original amount, the principal and interest shall be suspended, and the original loan relationship shall be deemed to be extinguished.

The common people benefited, and the landlord class did not have much controversy under the compensation measures given by Zheng Chenggong.

Many enlightened landlords and intellectuals saw that Zheng Chenggong deliberately suppressed rent, and also saw that the profits of running factories and maritime trade were very high, which were more cost-effective than land rent.

They have used their wealth accumulated over the years to invest in industry, or form groups to start maritime trade.

As for those stubborn landlords who continue to harsh the peasants, Zheng Chenggong will not behead them with a single sword, which will bring the most uneasiness to society.

Who doesn't respond, it doesn't matter.

Hydraulic engineering, sorry, I don't have your share.

What about your fields?

Have I forbidden you to use the river, you can send someone to carry water for irrigation?

Does your child want to enroll?

Sorry, the slots are full!

As for when it is?

Well, I'll tell you sometimes!

Why is it that everyone else's can be exempt from forced labor, as far as your family needs?

Well, it's in your house, so you need to serve as a servant.

Not going?

Hehehe...... There's going to be a place for you in the prison!

Under all kinds of soft thorns, all those who can't see the situation clearly understand what Zheng Chenggong's so-called "patient education" is.

Under high pressure, the stubborn landlords can only follow Zheng Chenggong's baton, reduce the rent if the rent is reduced, and the interest rate is reduced.

Nearly a year of governance has laid the most solid foundation of Zhengjia Group. (To be continued.) )
