Chapter 098: Failed Concessions

It didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao to find out that in order to fight against him, the Donglin Party began to slack off in passivity, some Donglin Party officials began to beg for return, and some Donglin Party began to perfunctory government affairs and procrastinate.

All right!

In order to redeem a little enthusiasm and optimism of the ministers. Zhu Youxiao immediately convened a 'symposium', no, it was a pre-imperial meeting.

Ye Xianggao, the first assistant, Liu Yixie, a scholar of Wenyuange, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and other Donglin Party members attended the meeting.

During the meeting, the current emperor Zhu Youxiao expressed cordial and friendly greetings to the ministers, and had an in-depth exchange of political opinions with the ministers of the Donglin Party on the issue of corrupt officials sitting in three clans.

Ye Xianggao, a senior minister of the Donglin Party, expressed strong indignation and dissatisfaction on this issue. This completely inhumane act of demanding that the emperor immediately revoke the factory guards.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao immediately decided to release Li Sancai's three clans in order to restore good relations between the emperor and his courtiers.

Subsequently, Zhu Youxiao extensively listened to the opinions of the Donglin Party ministers on the issue of commercial taxation, and humbly stated that he would make efforts to restrain the illegal tax collection activities of the Taxation Bureau.

In fact, it was a meeting full of clichés and empty words.

Zhu Youxiao made some compromise gestures to the Donglin Party, first of all, he released Li Sancai's three clans, although he could not completely satisfy the Donglin Party, after all, Li Sancai had already been cannon fodder. But formally it can be seen as a victory, so it is better than nothing. At least he was assured by the emperor that he would not let officials sit on the three clans lightly in the future.

As for the tax issue, Zhu Youxiao also made a commitment to only promote and observe in Beizhili for the time being, and if the effect is not good, he will not want to promote it in other provinces.

It's a pity that the atmosphere at the scene is relatively friendly, but after Ye Xianggao and the others go back, they still have to do what they should do, and all kinds of opposition to the levy of commercial taxes are floating like snowflakes.

And there are more concerts against Huangzhuang's encroachment on the main wasteland, because the second phase of the construction project of Huangzhuang has been in full swing. Many migrant workers who could not get along in the towns signed up as tenant farmers in Huangzhuang and participated in the construction of water conservancy facilities and land reclamation.

Many of the wastelands were abandoned because the farmers who rented the land went bankrupt, or because the cost of repairing the water conservancy was too high, or they were unable to repair the water conservancy due to various problems. However, the Huangzhuang wanted to reclaim these lands, and these lands were too precious in the eyes of those landlords and magnates.

Soon there was a violent conflict over land in Beizhili, and a landlord in Hejian Province, who was slightly powerful in the court, set on his slaves and injured the staff of the Royal Agricultural Company, as well as the tenant farmers of the Royal Agricultural Company. However, the end result of such violent clashes is naturally like that.

The Royal Agricultural Company doesn't care if you have power or not, they are still the emperor behind them! Immediately handed over a group of brocade guards, and took the landlord in that night. After some torture, the landlord paid a fine of 1,000 taels before being released.

As a result, Jinyiwei also stabbed the hornet's nest, and in less than a day, there was a large wave of impeachment chapters that seized this incident to criticize the emperor for being insatiable, competing with the people for profit, and conniving at the factory guards to commit murder and evil.

"This faint monarch, the Huangzhuang has expanded to 8 million acres in more than half a year, and he is not satisfied. Now, in order to continue to expand the imperial village, he has begun to encroach on the main land. ”

"Yes! I heard that this time Huangzhuang will expand by 20 million mu. This Beizhili only has 100 million acres of cultivated land. ”

There was a lot of discussion among the officials, basically criticizing the emperor's behavior. However, in the face of the Huangzhuang issue, the Donglin Party was actually the most divided.

The Donglin Party is not a tightly structured party, and although it has its own hands, there are also many talented people among Ma Zai.

Before the emperor invaded and occupied the main wasteland, the emperor had already issued a decree that whoever reclaimed the wasteland belonged to him, so as to ensure food production.

Among them, Xu Guangqi was the Donglin Party official who was the most supportive of this decree, and Xu Guangqi was very good at studying the agricultural issues in the north. The biggest problem in the north at present is the massive abandonment of land.

In addition to the disrepair of water conservancy, another important reason for the massive abandonment of land is that a large number of laborers have moved into cities and towns to work.

When the tenant peasants still can't eat enough and even have to owe a lot of debts to the landlords, it is better to go to the city to work, as long as they have the strength, they can earn at least one or twenty yuan a day.

Huangzhuang's new model first stabilized production, and then attracted labor to return to agricultural production. It is an effective measure to solve the current weakening of agriculture in the north, as for those who occupy Maoken and don't, they have the ability not to let the land be barren, and Huangzhuang will naturally not take their land away.

"When the new Huangzhuang opened up today, they all came from reclaiming wasteland. Once these 28 million mu of cultivated land are reclaimed, the annual grain production will increase by at least 30 million stones, and the people in the north will not worry about running out of grain, and the capital will no longer need so much rice. Xu Guangqi couldn't stand it, and when he dispersed the dynasty, he refuted the remarks of some Donglin Party officials with great resentment.

As a result, there was a quarrel on the spot, and some Donglin Party officials scolded Xu Guangqi for being the emperor's lackey accomplice in collecting money.

However, no matter how noisy the court was, the Royal Agricultural Company, which was exclusively controlled by Zhu Youxiao, began to implement the second phase of the construction goal without any impact.

After the completion of the second phase of the construction target, 28 million acres of land to produce 30000000 stone grain per year is actually not a big problem, after all, the autumn harvest and summer harvest are two seasons, even after the summer harvest, just plant some corn and soybeans, there is no big problem, not to mention that some land can also be taken out to grow sweet potatoes. This yield is based on an estimate of the factors that have been affected by the disaster. If the wind and rain are good, it will not be more than that.

Even if the land is after the summer harvest, the time is too short to grow some food crops, at least it can grow grass, feed livestock, and develop a side business.

The key point is whether or not these grains can be sold, because in addition to grain, the peasants also need textiles and other daily necessities to produce grain in a single way, and at the same time, the peasants borrow money from the banks, which means that they must be able to sell these commercial grains in order not to become bankrupt. In the past, natural disasters actually accounted for only a part of the bankruptcy of peasants in the provinces of Daming, and price fluctuations and unsalable agricultural products were often even more terrifying.

There is no problem in the sale of Huangzhuang's grain, and the Jimin Grain Bank will sign production orders with the farmers, and the price will be set when the grain has not yet been received. This order-based system ensured the stability of production, and the purchase price offered by Jimin Grain Bank at this time was 1 silver yuan per stone, equivalent to 0.83 taels, which was extremely favorable for Huangzhuang tenant farmers. As long as the tenant farmers produce normally and the wind and rain are good, the family can not only leave rations but also an income of about 30 yuan in a year. Even if one of the two years of production is affected, these tenant farmers will still have enough financial resources to support them.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was still continuing to improve the rural economic structure with Huangzhuang as the unit, and as for what officials opposed and businessmen grouped together, it was obvious that Zhu Youxiao did not succeed in eliminating negative public opinion this time.

But this failure also made Zhu Youxiao completely give up his unrealistic illusions. Since there is no compromise, the only way to do it is to use violence.

PS: The problem of harem politics, many readers are very entangled, and they bite in the book review area. Then I just want to ask: What can the harem do? Will it have serious consequences for the country? All right! Even if the so-called strict consequences are caused, at least after the protagonist hangs up, what does the flood have to do with him? This world is originally divided and merged, up and down, gathering and scattering. Can there be an eternal empire? Obviously not, but there is a relatively eternal civilization, and the protagonist's goal is not to create an eternal empire, but a more glorious Chinese civilization.

The queen and the imperial concubine, as the emperor's women, are themselves the most intimate community of interests, and will they be like civil officials who are crazy to dig into the corners of the country?

Moreover, the so-called harem is actually no different from civilian officials. The only difference is that because the civil officials who control public opinion lose power, they will attack the palace personnel in power from the personality point of view, because the women in the palace are either the emperor's women or the emperor's eunuchs, and in the eyes of the civil officials, they are all 'without human rights', so they can attack wantonly, so the three of them become tigers and exaggerate the problem. In fact, the probability of the harem interfering in the political chaos of the country is even lower than the risk of civil officials disturbing the country.

In essence, the rise and fall of the country is still dominated by the primacy, vision, means, and what kind of interest structure of the person in power, and it has nothing to do with the so-called harem doing politics or not doing politics.

The author has already answered this question in the book review area, but there are still people who bite and hold on, and the author really has no obligation to save their IQ. Sometimes the author doesn't answer some questions in the book review area, or even deletes the post, just to save some face for these people, so that everyone should not be unpleasant. I also encountered a strange thing before, because the book review sent was extremely brain-dead, and it looked like he was going to confront the author, the author only felt extremely painful at the time, and in the face of his various strange remarks, saving him would waste a lot of time and energy, not debating with this strange thing for 300 rounds, and misleading readers who don't know the situation. So the author deleted the post.,After deleting the post, this strange thing voted for an evaluation.,It's really disgusting.。

I just want to ask some readers, some things not to be on the line. The author has at least studied some traditional national arts, and his views on things and his perception of life are still relatively mature, what post will lower the IQ of others, the author at least has a more accurate judgment, so the readers who have been deleted post, don't make trouble, wouldn't it be good for everyone to tacitly leave some affection for each other?
