To be honest, Li Kang also has a headache, he has no experience in dealing with this aspect of the problem, although he has some ideas in his mind, but he doesn't know whether it is right or not, so he is undecided.

Now that everyone is looking at him, he has to say something, so Li Kang simply changed his stinky expression, but instead showed a smile and said: "Since they want their own home, then we can't be this villain and stop them, after all, the people have the right to pursue happiness! But... We're not babysitters, so we can't do it all, right? So, it's okay to pursue happiness, but they have to do it themselves, or... They're paying people to do it! If you get something, you have to pay, and that's fair!"

"Spend money?" everyone looked at each other, where did the money come from?

"Does the lord want to abandon eating 'big pot rice' and pay wages?" Yang Pingwei's eyes lit up and he said happily, he had long wanted to suggest that Li Kang give up the current distribution model according to demand and instead devote himself to the arms of distribution according to work.

The corners of Li Kang's mouth twitched, thinking that the system is really a cow, and under the subtle influence, these 'ancient people' even changed their way of speaking and language style, and gradually tended to the future and modernization, and some proper nouns came as soon as they opened their mouths.

"It is true that wages should be paid, and there have been many foreign grinders recently, and no matter how much we supervise and reprimand, they always refuse to change. If we slack off, they will find a moment to be lazy. It's really infuriating!" Speaking of this, Wang Dafu was furious.

In this regard, Wang Siping, who has been playing soy sauce, felt the same way and nodded frequently.

It is impossible to avoid this situation if you eat a big pot of rice, and it is human nature to indulge and work hard. But that's too fast!

[Sure enough, the masses who have not been brainwashed by their minds have no staying power!] Li Kang thought silently. Although he hates thinkers, it does not mean that he rejects thought weapons, he only rejects the use of thought weapons by others against his subordinates, which is a matter of active and passive.

"After all, everyone is used to free food, clothing, housing and transportation!" Zhao Siye said worriedly.

"It is precisely because of this that we must change as soon as possible!" Li Kang clenched his fists and said, "While there are still few people, it is not difficult to change, if you wait for later...... It's harder to turn back when you're heavy!"

Think about the road of change of the rabbits in the 80s, bumps and bumps, back and forth, through thorns and bumps, and the miasma of smoke and smoke that accompanied them all the way. Li Kang's uncertainty was quickly suppressed.

"What the lord said is that the number of people will continue to increase in the future, and it is extremely undesirable for us to blindly eat and live unconditionally, and it is too much burden for us, which will seriously slow down our pace of progress, and even drag us down. Yang Pingwei tried his best to sell his opinion, saying, "So, we will build the house and provide the food, but it must be provided in the form of rental!"

"Do I need to recover the rent for the houses that have been built before?" asked Gao Chu weakly.

Everyone looked at him with disdain, how idiots would think of recovering rent! Let's not talk about the high-sounding grandeur of the people's hearts, let's just talk about personal interests, if we want to recover the rent, in addition to a few woodcut corrugated buildings rewarded by the lord, do we have to pay the rent of these people?

Gao Chu shuddered, it was the first time that so many people were watching at the same time, and regardless of wine and meat friends and nodding friends, all of them looked at each other unkindly, "Eh, then... No more pursuits?"

"Of course, it can't be recovered, and in the future, this kind of 'nine-person room' will continue to be built and continue to be provided to the people for free. Li Kang took a sip of tea, regardless of everyone's surprise, and said unhurriedly, "If you want a family reunion, or simply don't want to squeeze with others, you can't live in a 'nine-person room', you can spend money to rent a single room, and even in the future, we will build cement and brick houses, which can be rented for money, or simply bought." I'm not going to stop it anyway. ”

He glanced up at everyone and said, "You can too!"

Everyone looked at each other, obviously poked in the heart by Li Kang, and they all shut up.

For a long time –

"Is that land also..."Wang Siping said suddenly.

"Don't even think about it!" Before he finished speaking, Li Kang decisively refused. Li Kang does not intend to fight against the sensitive food of land, at least not in the short term. He knows too well the urine nature of the Chinese, if land is allowed to be bought and sold, there is no need to guess what they will do, a steady stream of displaced people are put into construction, and after saving enough money, they will continue to buy land, and from then on, they will devote themselves to one acre and three points of land, completely inaugurating the great peasant profession, and the construction site and factory will only become a transitional place for them to save the first pot of gold.

Even the new factory owners and bourgeois businessmen at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China could not shake off the shackles of land, and the famous red-topped businessman, Li Hongzhang's money bag, the representative figure of the Westernization faction, the father of the Chinese businessman, and Sheng Xuanhuai, who created the 11th No. 1 in China, made a lot of money because of the iron and steel conglomerate Han Yeping Company. When he expanded production, he could not come up with the money, so he had to borrow money from Japan and push Han Yeping, the top iron and steel enterprise in China, into the arms of Japan step by step, contributing to the rise of the 'Great Japanese Empire'?

If this situation really happens in the future, Li Kang will definitely go crazy!

Even everyone here absolutely has the intention of being a big landlord 100%. Therefore, Li Kang ruthlessly extinguished the fire of desire that they had just ignited.

Want to buy land? Yes, but not now! Unlimited purchases are allowed!

As soon as they saw Li Kang's face, everyone knew that there was no need to discuss, so they didn't mention it anymore.

Of course, Li Kang, the enthusiasm of the peasants, could not be ignored, and the interests of the bureaucrats should also be taken care of, he thought for a while and said: "In this way, Siping, you notify it, forget it this year, starting next year, all the farmland will be contracted, let the contractor rent the seeds, the Department of Agriculture is only responsible for guiding and collecting rent, no matter how much the harvest is, we will collect the rent according to a constant proportion, you can sum up the rent, how much should be collected, just report to me." ”

"No!"

"Well, that's all for agriculture, and we'll talk about the additional questions later. Li Kang said, "Now let's talk about the matter at hand, since we are ready to implement distribution according to work, then we must have a general equivalent, that is, money! Then the problem is, gold is useful to me, and its value is too high to be circulated; we have no reserves of silver and copper, and although copper mines have been found, they are inconvenient to mine at present, and silver mines are even more invisible, so these two things are not suitable." So, the question is, what to do with money?"

This is indeed an embarrassing question, according to Li Kang's own ideas, it is naturally a step in place, the implementation of credit currency! It is not necessary to have paper money - Xin'an Town does not have the printing capacity of paper money - it can be bamboo chips, wooden chips and the like, but he is not sure whether these ancients can accept it.

After all, there are Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's deerskin money and the Ming treasure banknote 'Zhuyu in front', and it is normal for the people to resist.
