Chapter 187: Radical Integration

"So, there are only nearly 30 million acres of land left in Beizhili that have not been included in this new agricultural system?" Zhu Youxiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Guorui said: "There are less than 30 million acres left. ”

"Haha, okay, now Beizhili is completely stable." Zhu Youxiao laughed excitedly, the conspiracy had succeeded, those landlords had obviously fallen into his carefully designed trap, and the excited Zhu Youxiao instructed Yang Guorui: "Continue to increase propaganda and strive to invest the remaining 30 million mu of land into the Beizhili Agricultural Company." Well, I'm also getting the cabinet to add a few fires. ”

"Obey." Yang Guorui bowed slightly, this time the royal capital can be described as a big deal, which directly contributed to a real social change.

The establishment of the stock market has opened the process of capital industrialization, and at the same time, it is not industrial capitalization! Such a change has greatly improved the utilization rate of funds.

Zhu Youxiao's main purpose is to solve the land problem. After these landlords took a stake in the Beizhili Agricultural Company, most of the land problems in Beizhili had been resolved.

On the surface, the settlement of the land issue appeared to be a shareholding exercise, but in fact it was a conspiracy to deprive the landlords of Beizhili from their land.

To deprive these landlords of Beizhili of their land, it is actually very simple.

First of all, the board of directors of Beizhili Agricultural Company, which controls most of the land of Beizhili, is controlled by Royal Capital, and the company's decision-making behavior is controlled by Royal Capital.

In this way, if you want to deprive those landlords of the land, you only need to let the Beizhili Agricultural Company when the time is ripe. Make decisions that go against the laws of the market. For example, when the Royal Bank was about to tighten monetary policy. Before no longer lending loans, the Beizhili Agricultural Company took out loans like crazy, and then carried out various constructions.

What will happen in the end?

The Beizhili Agricultural Company will be heavily indebted, and in an environment of tight bank banking, there will be no place to borrow money. In the end, because you owe too much money to the bank, you will be disposed of by the bank.

When dealing with assets, estimate the value of the assets first, and when the monetary system is tightened. There is not much money in the market, and the value of assets will shrink significantly. However, the Beizhili Agricultural Company borrowed money during the economic boom period, so it used the shrinking asset value, minus the debt, and then sold the assets, and finally distributed the remaining money to those shareholders according to the shares.

So who will the assets of the Beizhili Agricultural Company, that is, those lands, be sold to?

Obviously, it will be sold to the peasants at a low price, because all the land of the Beizhili Agricultural Company is settled according to the specifications of 30 mu per household. There were a large number of people in these lands. At this time, it was obviously impossible to sell the land to other landlords. They bought it. It's not easy to deal with, those peasant houses are there! Who pays for the migration costs?

In the end, the only way to do this is to buy the land at a very low price. It doesn't matter if the farmers don't have the money, the bank can provide them with interest-free loans to buy the land.

In other words, in the end, these lands will fall into the hands of farmers. Nowadays, the farmers in Huangzhuang, a subsidiary of the Beizhili Agricultural Company, only need to pay tenant rent before this, and they do not need to pay land rent after the land becomes theirs in the future.

This kind of capital game, people in this era may not understand it so well. But for Zhu Youxiao, a traverser, it is commonplace. In the future, the world's major consortia will not all do this. Any American General Motors company will go out of business, in fact, this is this kind of trick.

First, absorb a large amount of private capital and buy their shares at a high price. Then he played himself to death, and then transferred the assets to the enterprises that were highly controlled by the consortium at a low price. Private capital is equivalent to suffering a big loss, buying stocks at a high price, and as a result, the stocks depreciated wildly in a financial crisis, and finally even worthless.

It's just that this time Zhu Youxiao finally distributed the assets to the tenant farmers in Huangzhuang, so as to completely realize the goal of reassuring the people.

Of course, this kind of trick is generally carried out after an industry is mature, and when an industry is still developing, it is necessary to let the private capital make money and let them taste the sweetness, so as to attract these private capital to inject a large amount of funds into the industry to carry out a large number of construction activities.

When the industry is built and the fruits are already very attractive, it is time for the consortium to reap the harvest.

Therefore, at present, a large number of construction is still going to be carried out in agriculture in Beizhili, and agriculture in other provinces has not yet begun to be built, so in more than ten years, investment in agriculture can still obtain good returns for private capital. When the industrial construction is perfect, it will be up to you to see who runs faster.

As for the agricultural companies that are affiliated to Beizhide, it is a different model. At this time, the agricultural company could only operate in the form of hired labor, and it was forbidden to rent the land to others like the traditional landlords, and sit at home with their thighs crossed and wait for the rent to be collected.

Collecting rent is the most brainless behavior, since they don't produce in agricultural production, why should they occupy the pit and not? Let the common people suffer one more exploitation.

This is not the case with agricultural companies that adopt the employment system, and after they adopt the employment system for production, they will pay attention to the production and operation of the land, and after the formation of economies of scale, production technology and efficiency can be improved. Therefore, agricultural companies that adopt the wage labor system are very effective in liberating labor and increasing the output of agricultural commodities.

Moreover, the owners of agricultural companies, whether they are officials or officials, must pay taxes. Because agricultural companies are a commercial category, there is no privileged class in the commercial tax of Beizhili.

Those landlords who did not want to join the shares joined forces to set up their own agricultural companies, and Zhu Youxiao naturally supported them. There is so much wealth in the world, it is impossible to see any merchant who is rich and blush! Zhu Youxiao mainly targeted those businessmen who did not pay taxes, as well as those landlords who brainlessly collected rents and exploited the people. These two groups are definitely national moths.

After some shareholding, as well as the joint formation of agricultural companies by landlords and businessmen, the agricultural production equivalent to Beizhili will enter a large-scale integration stage.

Because the Beizhili Agricultural Company has obtained 40 million acres of land, a large number of Huangzhuang is about to start construction, and there will be landlords who will invest in the land to the Beizhili Agricultural Company. or take a stake in other agricultural companies that produce on a wage basis.

This is definitely a huge change, and in the midst of the change, the tenant farmers of Beizhili will be in turmoil. However, under the official organization, the armor protection system was soon established in the imperial village and became orderly. The construction of water conservancy facilities will also begin in an all-round way, and with the support of a large amount of funds, most of the agricultural land in Beizhili will be able to achieve drought and flood income in three years at most.

Agriculture is the foundation of industry, and people must first be able to eat enough before they can develop industry. As long as the agricultural resources of Beizhili are integrated, the society of Beizhili can be completely stabilized.

Beizhili is the base camp of Zhu Youxiao, after this reform, it is not a big problem for the people to eat enough, and the development of people's livelihood will not be afraid of rebellion in Beizhili.

In order to complete this process once and for all, the cabinet quickly added another fire to the land policy of Beizhili. The Cabinet soon introduced the Hokna-Naoli Land Reform Act, which abolished the agricultural tax privileges of the magnates and nobles, and set the agricultural tax on cultivated land of non-agricultural companies at 10% and prohibited apportionment to tenant farmers.

As soon as the bill was introduced, there was another cry of ghosts and wolves. Almost all of those landlords scolded Shen Yun, and Shen Xiao's name of Cai Jing was completely popularized among the landlord class in Beizhili, and at the same time, it was not a metaphor that Zhu Youxiao was the king of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong.

However, no matter how these landlords scolded and how those privileged classes impeached Shen Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.

At this time, there were already a large number of Zhu Youxiao who were directly under the army, and his wings were already stiff. He didn't dare to provoke the landlords of other provinces, but those in Beizhili were not afraid at all.

Rebel? A warm welcome!

There is just another reason to raid the house.

The 10% agricultural tax is no different from before, but the privileged class will also start paying the 10% agricultural tax. In addition, after the promulgation of the "Tenant Rent Act", some landlords have already made up their minds to come up with policies and countermeasures, and apportionment of agricultural taxes to those tenant farmers.

As a result, after the introduction of the "Beizhili Tianfu Reform Act", the plan was directly lost. After the 10% agricultural tax was levied, how much was left of the 15% tenant rent? It's only 5%, which is scary, so it's still a yarn! It's better to hire a group of long-term workers to do things.

However, Shen Yun, who was a cheating father, came up with a decree that more than 10 employees must be registered as an agricultural company.

Going around and around, life and death are forcing these landlords to get their land under the umbrella of agricultural companies and carry out production and operation in the name of agricultural companies.

As an agricultural company, the tax rate may be adjusted at any time.

Fortunately, this road looks quite bright now, and the way of these landlords has not been blocked. Therefore, although these landlords in Beizhili were quite jubilant, they were all making a fuss, and no one was stupid enough to make a rebellion against the imperial court.

Anyway, after taking a stake in Beizhili Agricultural Company, the annual dividends will not be lower than the 40% tenant rent they levied before, so just move your ass! Don't occupy the pit and don't, and hand over the land to the Beizhili Agricultural Company to operate. If you really don't want to, register an agricultural company and run your own business!

Soon, the last 3,000 acres of cultivated land left in Beizhili also became the land of various agricultural companies. The number of agricultural companies in Beizhili has risen directly to more than 300. Among them, the largest is the Beizhili Agricultural Company, which occupies nearly 80 million mu of land, and the land that is unwilling to merge the land into the Beizhili Agricultural Company is nearly 30 million mu.

Royal Bank's stake in the 'Beizhili Agricultural Company' has dropped to 37.5%, and in the formation of the board of directors, more than 2% of the shares must be held to obtain seats and thus obtain voting rights. Among the landlords who invested in the Beizhili Agricultural Company, there are basically few shares that can exceed 2%, and the shareholders who enter the board of directors are actually on the look, the Royal Bank has an absolute advantage in the board of directors, and the decision-making power of the Beizhili Agricultural Company is still firmly controlled by the Royal Capital.
