Chapter 460: Although it is helpless, it is also deliberate
Yan Sanniang stopped, and then heard another voice say: "The people of the Mo family are easy to find, but the Li family has too many concerns, and always thinks that our people are sent by the Zheng family to test them." The alternative has also been decided, which is to use the black cat of the Military Intelligence Division. It's just that heaven and earth will preside over this matter, and the white cat's dispatch is separated by a layer, and the action is too variable. ”
It was Fan Jin who spoke, and another cold voice said: "It's best to hold the name steadily, and it's nothing if you can't hold it steadily, it's nothing more than our soldiers shedding more blood." This matter is not only a foreign matter, but also an internal matter, if we don't do it, that monster will eat our foundation."
This is Jia Hao, Yan Sanniang raised her eyebrows, shouldn't this guy be on the front line in Hunan? Why did you quietly return to Guangzhou? Also, what is this talking about? Ah, this guy, if you don't hurry up to solve the trouble in front of you, what are you doing mysteriously in God?
Peng Xianzhong's voice sounded: "It's really dangerous now, the land price of Ying Tianfu has risen by an average of two percent last month. As of the first half of the year, more than 20,000 hectares of land had been bought and sold in the province, an increase of more than 1,000 hectares in June compared with May. Counting the ground in the town, in the first half of this year, nearly 30 million taels of silver were pressed on the land, and if this momentum continues, it is estimated that 80 million taels will be obtained for the whole year, which is not a free deed transaction. According to the curve chart of the Shentong Bureau, this is more than ten times that of Kangxi in the fifty-first year"
Then came Gu Xiyi's voice: "The local government is still adding fuel to the fire, although the imperial court decree is that you can be naturalized when you buy property and land, and there are still discounts for buying property in towns." However, it is difficult to raise the rent of urban real estate, in contrast, it is more convenient to buy land, the income is more, and it is more in line with tradition, so the local government encourages the purchase of land for naturalization. Another advantage is that it can dismantle the situation of local clans controlling the public bureau, and it can also allow the land buyers to fund the construction of rural roads, Mongolian schools and hospitals, which is related to the political achievements of local officials. ”
Then Liu Xingchun's voice: "I look at this naturalization matter, do you want to stop?" In the first half of the year, there were more than 10,000 criminal cases in Guangdong, including more than 2,000 homicide cases and 6,700 cases involving groups of more than 10 people. The price of land is so high that even if only one percent of the people who have lost their land are in turmoil, our country is in turmoil. ”
Peng Xianzhong said: "The matter of naturalization cannot be stopped, this is the only way to resolve the concerns of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry." Attract the wealthy businessmen from Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou to Guangdong as much as possible, so that they can keep pace with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, so that they can more firmly control the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. ”
Another calm voice sounded, with a bit of the tone of a Manchu official, this is Li Zhushou. He said: "Industry and commerce are in control, but what about the farmers? The price of firewood, rice, oil and salt is very stable, and there will be no chaos, but now that the court is open, the dirty things buried in the depths of the past have all been stirred up by the Confucian Party to make a fuss. The virtuous party in the court looked for me twice in three days, and when they saw that they were going to abandon me, they went straight to the book to talk about the country, setting off a new storm. ”
Another old voice sounded, Yan Sanniang thought for a while, and then remembered that this was Yang Chongdou, the right servant of the door, and the old man said: "Your Majesty has established a new country and opened a new atmosphere in China, and some turmoil is inevitable. Although it is not a cause for concern, the legal network of this dynasty is fine, and the government has also gone down to the countryside. Good governance is deeper for the people, but if the government has grievances, it will also harm the people even more. If you don't put a lot of effort into the governance of the officials, you are afraid that the disasters will follow. ”
Li Xian said: "Elder Yang said well, with this momentum, not only to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate really enter the role, but also to let the Information Department guide the newspaper to dig up the officials." At the same time, uncle, you should lead the Xian Party to work hard in the county and township public bureaus, isn't the Xian Party also advocating the township covenant, this situation, you should push the public bureau out to bear more. ...,"As for naturalization, although it is not the main reason for the increase in land prices, it is also worth paying attention to." On the one hand, it is necessary to regulate the policies of various counties in Guangdong, and on the other hand, the affairs of the government of the surrounding provinces to go to the countryside can also be started, or at least to let out the wind and ease the situation in Guangdong. And to really solve this problem, at this stage, it depends on the opening of the floodgates. ”
Yan Sanniang couldn't "eavesdrop" anymore, so she went to rest elsewhere, and only after the temporary state council was over and everyone dispersed did she enter the government hall again.
"The lady is so good-looking, just don't work too hard in boxing, beware of the child in the belly ......"
Seeing Yan Sanniang's face flushed, Li Xian said angrily. An Jiuxiu gave birth to the second princess at the beginning of the year, and now all eyes are on Yan Sanniang, who is pregnant again, hoping that she can give birth to the first prince.
Yan Sanniang said angrily: "You, it's better to worry less about the concubine's stomach and more about your own country."
Throwing the newspaper on the bookcase, Yan Sanniang said: "Look, this is the first year of the Holy Dao, and some people have learned from you to rebel." ”
Seeing Yan Sanniang's frowning eyebrows, Li Xian's heart was soaked with warmth, and he didn't care that the six-car little girl who was promoted to the clerk of the grass hall was beside him, took Yan Sanniang into his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really worried about your husband's country, or are you worried that your husband has forgotten his promise to his mother in the past?" ”
Gently stroked the wrinkles on Li Xian's forehead with his hand, many years ago, downstairs in Li Zhuang Tingtao, Li Xian promised to make this world no longer suffering, Yan Sanniang smiled and shook his head slightly: "The concubine is no longer the ignorant little woman at that time, if you go back to that time, you can no longer coax the concubine." In this world, there is no suffering, only a little bit of getting better. ”
Then she naughtily pulled Li Shi's mustache: "If it weren't for the fact that this world is getting better in your hands, the concubine would have taken her daughter to travel all over the world and ignore you, a tyrant." ”
Then her cheeks welled up with worry and dissatisfaction: "But this trouble, it's not like playing against Tartar soldiers on the battlefield, Ah, you like to bear these troubles alone and don't tell us anything, how to resolve it?" ”
Li Shi shook his head: "Dissolve? This is the planned ......"
Seeing Yan Sanniang's eyebrows raised, she hurriedly smiled: "Are you thinking about your husband and me, what a tyrant who doesn't care about the life and death of farmers and only thinks about making profits for industry and commerce?" ”
Yan Sanniang gave him a strange look, urging him to quickly explain honestly. Seeing that she didn't delve into this sentence, Li Xianxin said that he did want to take care of the life and death of the peasants, but compared with the profits of industry and commerce, the peasants were responsible for life and death, and it was self-evident which side he maintained......
The skyrocketing land prices in Guangdong are just a historical necessity. In his previous history, the price of land in Guangdong also skyrocketed in a hundred years. Nanhai Panyu Shunde and other counties, the highest land price in the Yongzheng years is only about ten taels, and in the Jiaqing years, the price of the top field even has eighty-eight taels per mu, deducting the inflation factor, there are also several times the increase, which is the inevitable trend after the prosperity of industry and commerce.
In addition to the inevitable trend, there is also Li Xian's deliberate fueling. On the one hand, he took advantage of relatively mature trade routes to constantly suppress grain prices, and on the other hand, he connived at and even encouraged industry and commerce to transfer silver to land by borrowing naturalization and deeds. This is a purge, which seeks to eliminate the grain industry in Guangdong Province and push the peasants to transform into cash crops. With the support of Hunan, Guangxi, Quang Nam, Siam, and even the Nanyang rice estates under development, Guangdong no longer needs to produce its own grain. Both the land and the population had to be freed from the low level of the economy and prepared for the industrial age.
On the other hand, it is more crucial, and it is also a helpless move when the industry has not yet taken off. In the past few years, the industry and commerce have been smooth, and the land is full of wealthy businessmen, and they will inevitably buy land and property. At present, there has been no technological breakthrough in industry, and it is impossible to absorb a lot of capital, and it can only let industry and commerce eat farmland. If you don't let them eat, they will go and drumble with finance. The treasury bonds issued last year have now formed a securities market underground, and if there is no land as an outlet, all the money will be poured into the securities, and then the new things such as futures and stocks will definitely be drummed up by these rich businessmen. Finance is bound to flourish, but not now, not even the industrial system. Therefore, Li Shi was very stuck in this regard, and used the forces of banks, investment companies, and ticket banks to build the embankment high.
In addition, there are many problems that can also be resolved by pushing up land prices, for example, under the rule of Guangdong, the biggest resistance to the promotion of the government to the countryside and the county and township public bureaus comes from the local clans, which hold a large amount of land and are still the backbone of the Confucian Party. The Anglo-Chinese swept away the Qing court's control in Guangdong, but did not penetrate deep into the countryside, and although these clans could not be cohesively formed into a powerful reactionary force in Anglo-Chinese national politics, they played a pivotal role in local political affairs.
The most obvious is Shunde County, where forty percent of the county's land is family land, and the population and capital absorbed by it are difficult to transfer to the national system. In this pattern, the imperial court decrees and government governance cannot really penetrate to the bottom.
Pushing up land prices and pushing clan forces to retreat from the land first under the lure of capital is also an inevitable step in sorting out Guangdong's internal affairs.
Originally, it was not completely introduced into the land, with Huangpu City as a template, Li Shi also set off a boom in urban renovation, but after all, at this time, Huaxia's business model in real estate is far from mature, the income period is too long, and the relevant laws and regulations have not kept up, and only a small amount of capital flows in this direction.
Therefore, at this time, Guangdong, just like the data listed by Peng Xianzhong, has no place for the rising capital, so it has to turn around and bite its own tail and bite the land.
With such a violent upheaval, the side effects are also quite obvious. Even though Li Xi and the Yinghua Imperial Court, together with the local government, tried their best to maintain stability in terms of grain prices and daily necessities, and stabilize the bottom of society, the huge capital invested in land would inevitably lead to the loss of land for the peasants, and then if these landless people could not smoothly transfer to other levels to make a living, all kinds of problems would arise. In addition, some people have difficulty adapting to social changes, and they are also dragged into this vortex, which further expands the chaos. Deng Xiaotian, who turned from a farmer to a worker, but caused continuous incidents, is a typical example.
"That's right...... Deng Xiaotian's matter, what kind of Master Zhong seems to be? ”
Li Xi vaguely remembered that there was such a person in the recital that reported the Qujiang incident, but his thoughts quickly turned away, not so coincidentally.
Yan Sanniang was a little difficult to accept: "You mean, this is like a war, some people are killed and injured, and it is always unavoidable?" Isn't this a tune with what you spurn about big benevolence and small benevolence? ”
Li Xian sighed: "Lady, just like on the battlefield, no matter who dies, every decision you make, countless people will inevitably die because of it." Although national affairs are not like war, which directly determines life and death, they still have to face trade-offs. This is not a great benevolence and a small benevolence, and it is not a small benevolence that must be discarded because of the great benevolence. I will not give up to anyone, but the opportunities that everyone gets must not be equal, and at the same time, not everyone is willing to stretch out their own hands, as a monarch, they must face such a situation and bear all the consequences at the same time. ”
Yan Sanniang nodded, although she didn't understand everything, she heard that Li Xian was a little helpless, but she would never escape her determination to retreat.
She asked, "So, can't we let the price of this land continue to skyrocket......
Li Xian smiled: "Of course not, such a rise is also beyond my expectations, so some things have to be done in advance." ”
In the course of history, no one can advance and retreat as freely as pulling an iron line, and Li Xi originally planned to have a year and a half to turn around. Letting capital bite on the land is nothing more than an expedient measure, a temporary place of residence without an outlet. If Yinghua really wants to transform, it must eventually pull up capital from the land, even more indifferent than in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"If it goes up any further, it will attract more and more land speculators, who will not take the field as their business, but will make a difference with their left hand in and right hand out, and then the endless tricks will fall on the peasants, and then let tens of millions of peasants become tenants. There are already some wealthy businessmen with bright noses, who are secretly tinkering with some kind of Tianya Society, which is a sign of danger, so I have to gather the officers and urgently deploy the operation to open the floodgates. ”
Li Shi talked about the opening of the gate again, and Yan Sanniang asked curiously.
"Tomorrow your husband has to have a performance, and you can watch it from the side, but if you say it first, it's just a performance......"
Li Shi said this, Yan Sanniang's apricot eyes were round, full of anticipation......
