Chapter 336 Borrowing a Billion

Regarding Liu Ze's Tuntian Law, the subordinates were immediately divided into two factions, one faction unequivocally supported it, and the other faction implicitly expressed opposition.

Supporters believe that Liu Ze's law benefits the country and the people, which can save the urgent needs of the displaced people, solve the worries of the land barrenness, and also fill the national treasury, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that abandoned land was originally owner's land, and that if the government forcibly expropriated it, it would inevitably lead to boiling resentment among the people.

Most of the objections raised by Liu Ze were from the scholars themselves, and in order to protect their own interests, it was natural for them to oppose Tuntian. Although many people were killed in the five counties of Pengcheng, the really powerful scholars had already fled, such as the Zhang family, the largest wealthy family in Pengcheng, who fled to Jiangdong, and Zhang Zhao, a famous minister of Eastern Wu, came from the Zhang family in Pengcheng. The immovable property left behind by the scholars will generally be disposed of at a low price, and even if it is really ownerless land, according to the previous practice, the government will auction it off at a low price, which will undoubtedly bring opportunities for those who have not left to make a fortune. However, Liu Ze's ownerless land was returned to the government, and the new policy of not allowing the sale and purchase of land would inevitably harm the interests of some people, and it was not surprising that they opposed it.

Liu Ze has long been confident about this, and he proposed that the land is barren and dangerous, not only can not solve the problem of food rations for the people, but also Yan zhòng will be the tax income of the government, so it is urgent to solve the problem of land abandonment. Of course, the government is still quite cautious about the ownership of the land, and will post notices in all counties and counties to publicize the ownerless land. Even at the end of the publicity period. As long as the title deed can be issued, the government will give reasonable compensation at the market price, regardless of whether the land has been included in the scope of the tuntian. The purpose of putting an end to the private buying and selling of land is to prevent a few people from fishing in troubled waters, buying cheaply and selling expensively, and making improper profits from it.

Don't drive Mi Zhu said: "Although the law of tuntian is beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, there are countless displaced people, and the initial government needs to purchase a large number of farm tools, cattle, barracks, seeds, and rations, and the money and grain consumed are innumerable, and the treasury of the state capital is empty. Unbearable. What will be Liu's plan? ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "It's true that the treasury in the state capital is empty, but we can borrow it if we don't have money. It will be returned after the next year's harvest. Don't drive. I heard that your Mi family is wealthy. How about it, whether you are interested in taking out some loans, the interest is negotiable. ”

The sweat on Mi Zhu's face came down. He couldn't figure out whether Liu Ze was joking with him or really seeking his property, did the official who had always been an official borrow or repay? Mi Zhu said embarrassedly: "Back to Liu Yuanjun, although there is some thin production in the next, but they are all some field houses, wine shops, workshops, and it is impossible to raise a lot of cash for a while, but I don't know how much Liu Yuanjun needs, if you make up a few million dollars, you can get it down, and if you have more, I am afraid it will be beyond your reach." "Mi Zhu is also throwing stones to ask for directions, taking a few million dollars out, it is not distressing, if Liu Ze wants, Mi Zhu can be regarded as a filial piety. Originally, Liu Ze was the presiding minister of Xuzhou, and for the interests of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu was also ready to spend money to dredge up relations with Liu Ze, but now he couldn't figure out Liu Ze's intentions, so he didn't dare to make a rash move.

Liu Ze laughed and said: "Forget it if it's a few million dollars, I don't know if there are any people here who want to make a little fortune with them?" ”

All the officials looked at each other, Liu Ze couldn't look down on millions of dollars, you know, all the assets of the average small and medium-sized scholar family are put on a piece, and it is only a few million dollars, this Liu Ze's appetite is too big, right?

Liu Ze saw that everyone was speechless, and said with a slight smile: "Since all the princes are not interested, then forget it." But don't worry, my father has solved it. ”

Everyone was once again thundered down by Liu Ze, Tuntian is not a simple matter, the huge start-up capital is enough to drag down Xuzhou's finances, Liu Ze is so understated, I don't know if it's true or not.

Liu Ze saw that everyone didn't believe it, but said: "You should all know that there is a money village in Xuzhou that is connected to the world, specializing in exchange and loan business, and my father has negotiated with the shopkeeper of the money bank to borrow one billion money, with an annual interest rate, and repay it next year." Therefore, don't worry about money, spring plowing and preparation are imminent, and the matter of tuntian cannot be delayed, so order all counties to implement it immediately. ”

Billion! Except for Jia Xu and Guan Yu, everyone here was scorched by thunder, even Xu Shu was no exception. One billion dollars, even before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the total amount of taxes paid in Xuzhou for a year did not exceed one billion, and in recent years, there have been frequent military disasters, and the Xuzhou government treasury cannot make ends meet, and there is not much food at all, otherwise Tao Qian would not have to owe official salaries and army salaries. But as soon as Liu Ze took office, he got a billion dollars, oh my God, where did he find this wronged boss?

Huitong Tianxia Qian Zhuang has been open in Xuzhou for more than ten years, but everyone knows it, and even those here have borrowed money from Qian Zhuang, but they come and go only tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of money, no one regards Huitong Qian Zhuang as a rich businessman, as for the wealthy families like the Mi family, they are not bad at money, and they can't deal with Qian Zhuang, and when they hear that Qian Zhuang can actually lend Liu Ze a billion money, it is almost like a dream.

"Liu Yuanjun, I have also been to Huitong Money Village in Xia, but it is just a small shop, can you really get a billion dollars if you refuse?" Sun Qian asked suspiciously. In his opinion, even if all the copper coins in Huitong Tianxia Bank are piled up, it will not be able to put more than a billion.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said in his heart, the big shopkeeper who connects the world is sitting in front of you, and it is not a matter of whether you can take it out or not? At the same time, Jia Xu admired Liu Ze's far-sightedness, when the world thought that businessmen were lowly, Liu Zeken put down the identity of the Han family clan and tended to business, and took all the world's wealth with the sharpest vision. The high-ranking scholars regarded money as dung, but when they saw the suffering of the people, they could only sigh and do nothing. Now sitting in Xuzhou, Liu Ze, who is greedy for money, can play the command room, quench the people's hunger and thirst, and save the people from fire and water, Jia Xu was once again impressed by Liu Ze.

Sun Zhen can rest assured that the money will arrive in the account in a few days. Huitong Tianxia Qianzhuang has said that as long as Xuzhou is in need, they will do their best to help. In business, Huitong Money Bank made a profit of 100 million a year, and they were also able to get it for this transaction. After presiding over Xuzhou, Liu Ze has decided to distinguish between public and private, although he is the state pastor, but the money and grain in the treasury are not owned by himself, it belongs to the yamen of the Xuzhou Prefecture, and he must not touch a penny, and he only has one hundred and eighty yuan per month. In the same way, one's own money cannot be transferred to Xuzhou for free, even if it is used, it is also a way to borrow.

For a long time, a kind of thinking of the world has imprisoned everyone's thinking, the so-called land coast, is not the king's land, all the people in the world including land belong to the king, naturally, all property also belongs to the king, the king has the right to kill and kill the subjects, from large to small, the princes around the country also have the absolute right to dominate the human and material resources in the jurisdiction, can be arbitrarily forcible and plundered. After Liu Bei took Yizhou, he rewarded the heroes and squandered the Yizhou treasury. Not only Liu Bei, but all the princes had similar behaviors, after attacking the city and plundering the land, all public and private property were confiscated, ignoring the property rights of the people at all.

This is the troubled times, the troubled times without order, the troubled times without the right to live and the right to property, what Liu Ze wants to change, is such a troubled time. To change the troubled times, we must rebuild the social order, and respecting people's rights to life and property rights is the first step that must be taken, which is the basis of a qiē order, and private property is sacred and inviolable! It must be determined in the form of a law, and each person's lawful property must be registered and protected, so that everyone understands that their property is protected by the law and that no one can take it away at will. Like Mi Zhu as soon as he heard that the state pastor wanted to borrow money and immediately offer millions of dollars (it is estimated that Mi Zhu never wanted to go back) can be completely eliminated, Mi Zhu can say no, I am in charge of my property, and I don't need to look at anyone's face.

Of course, Liu Ze has to set an example for this, Xuzhou's money is the money of the official family, not Liu Ze's personal money, Liu Ze can use it within a reasonable scope of authority, but it does not mean that it can be abused, if Liu Ze refuses public funds for himself, it is corruption, that is a crime. Most of the officials of the Han Dynasty were monopolistic and were a breeding ground for corruption, and the state pastors, assassins, and taishou seized the military, political, and financial powers in various places, and took the money given by the court, and wantonly squandered public funds, and even they did not feel that this was a crime. Not to mention, the current Xiapi Xiangzhu is relationship with Tao Qian is fellow countryman, openly withholding taxes from the three counties, embezzling public funds, building a large Futu Temple, and living as a Buddha with a golden body, Tao Qian actually acquiesced to this behavior. Therefore, Liu Ze made up his mind to rectify the rule of officials and eliminate corruption, and he must start from himself, and he must be hard to strike iron.

Sun Qian continued: "Even though Liu Yuanjun can borrow money, but at present, the price of grain in Xuzhou is soaring, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the matter of Tuntian is difficult to quench the thirst of the near after all. ”

Someone immediately seconded: "As Sun Zhen said, the price of this grain was stable at around 2,000 yuan a few days ago, but in the past few days, for some reason, it has suddenly soared, rising day after day, and a piece of rice was sold for 5,000 yuan, and the people were very angry. ”

"I'm afraid that 5,000 yuan won't be able to stop it, last year's war disaster, there was no grain harvest, and this price increase is inevitable."

Chen Deng said angrily: "Although the harvest last year was not good, but after so many years, Xuzhou has been full of grain and rice, is it possible that the people will have no surplus grain?" Even if the price of grain rises, it will not rise so fast, and it is foolish to think that someone must be hoarding, driving up the price of grain, and making huge profits. ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly, his phoenix eyes were half-opened, and said: "Such a profiteer, Rong Mou will take it and cut it one by one!" (To be continued......)
