"Your Majesty is talking about ......"

Zhu Houwei knocked his fingers on the table and said: "Justice is the foundation of the country's social stability, how can the people of the people have the right to steal the authority of the state, then the patrol yamen must be set up to the township, and the civil affairs department must also go to the township.

"Obey." Zhai Luan breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just like this, it was not unacceptable, and it would not cause too much burden on the finances.

"The reason why there is such a careless disregard for human life in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is, in the final analysis, because the people do not understand the law, and they do not know how to use the law as a weapon to protect themselves to resist power, so the Ming Dynasty wants to popularize the law.

Let the township schools must add law lessons, so that the people can know the basic law, once they encounter such a thing again, they will not be at the mercy of others, and from now on, no village elder is allowed to use lynching, otherwise whether it is right or wrong, it will not be forgiven! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Let's go down and get busy."

Zhai Luan didn't leave, but got up and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the old minister discussed some things with several deputy speakers in the parliament before, and found some problems that Da Ming is currently encountering, and he has to pay attention to them."

"Tell me about it." Zhu Houwei was a little curious.

Zhai Luan Zhengse said: "Your Majesty in the Ming Dynasty vigorously develop infrastructure, the development of industry and commerce, but also organized tens of millions of immigrants, but also the implementation of land reform, those who have a large amount of land under the name of the Haoqiang have sold the land at a low price, the people have benefited, but in some places because of more immigrants, Haoqiang sold more land, plus the people can work in business, ordinary people's homes have appeared the phenomenon of land barrenness, in the view of the old minister, this is not good, once the people feel that the money from business is faster, and the land output is not much, When it is possible to buy grain with the money from work, I am afraid that there will be large tracts of land that are barren......"

Zhu Houzhao became interested, after all, he admired his brother's reform measures one after another, and Daming did become stronger and richer in this series of reforms......

Zhu Houwei was a little speechless......

This situation made him a little unexpected, it is true that the prosperity of industry and commerce will inevitably have an impact on agriculture, which is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Taizu suppressed business, afraid that everyone will go to business to make money, and finally there will be a situation where no one has land.

In later generations, how many young people in the countryside are willing to stay in the village at sunrise and rest at sunset, how much money can they earn from farming all year round, and how much can they earn by going out to work for a year?

However, in later generations, there will be mechanical automation, land can be contracted, and there will be subsidies for farming, so this problem is well solved, but in today's Ming Dynasty, if you want to copy the set of later generations, there is almost no feasibility.

This is indeed a problem that cannot be ignored, the industrial system of the Ming Dynasty can only be regarded as a prototype now, if it is in the future when there are factories everywhere, young people choose to work to support their families, it is inevitable.

How to fix it?

Even if Zhu Houwei has a vision that surpasses the people of this era for hundreds of years, he didn't think of any way to solve this huge hidden danger for a while......

When Zhai Luan left the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao looked at his meditative brother and smiled: "What's the matter, you are in a predicament?"

Zhu Houwei felt that his brother was gloating.

"Brother Huang has a way?"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be joking, let us go to the battlefield and cut people with knives, let's not say a word, but let us think about this, you really look up to me."

Zhu Houwei smiled bitterly: "Actually, I thought about this before, after all, this is an inevitable trend brought about by the development of industry and commerce, but I didn't expect it to come so soon...... For example, in the textile industry, it used to be that a woman from a family fiddled with an old-fashioned textile machine, and then spun cloth to support the family, but now?

Now a new textile machine is worth the production efficiency of dozens of previous textile machines, and it is lighter and easier to operate, then countless textile workshops will go bankrupt, which is the inevitable price of the development of the industrial process.

After all, it is profitable to engage in business, and the output of work is much higher than that of land, so the people will naturally want to work, which is unavoidable.

Each family only thinks that planting a few acres of land will ensure their family's ration, or they do not even want to plant land, and want to buy food with the money they get from their work, and then the land will be barren......"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly stopped and said: "Yes, yes, don't say it, let's have a headache, just tell us how to solve this matter, after all, the population of the Dawu Dynasty is small, and there is a lot of land, if you also give us this, we won't be crazy, and your nephew will have to ......be crazy."

"This matter, in fact, it is not complicated at present, after all, Daming still has a huge population migration plan, the more immigrants, the less population pressure in Daming, and the less food is needed, so this matter in twenty or thirty years, no matter how industry and commerce develop, it will not have much impact on land reclamation.

As for Dawu, the population is relatively small and the land is more, so let alone twenty or thirty years, even fifty or sixty years or even hundreds of years, there will be no worries about this.

But there are some things that are not interesting to leave to future generations, so in my opinion, there is no way to solve this problem.

For example, the contract system is to let the people contract out the land under their own names and have the contractor plant it uniformly, so the contractor can rely on the huge amount of land to make money, and the people can also be freed from the land, and the land fee is charged according to the contract, and the state collects taxes according to the normal value.

The most important of these three points is the contractor, because only these big households can make money, they will be willing to contract, if they can't make money or the money they make does not meet their expectations, naturally no one is willing to contract.

And what is the cost of the contractor? In addition to employing manpower to cultivate, sow seeds, fertilize, irrigate, and harvest, there are taxes and land rents, and now hybrid rice is counted as five stone of yield per mu, and according to the tax of one stone and the rent of two stones, there are still two stones left.

That is to say, the cost must be controlled within one stone at most one stone and five stones, one acre of land can have about one stone income, one thousand acres can have one thousand stones, I believe that the large households who are willing to contract will not be less.

But there is also one of the most important factors is natural disasters, which requires the state to introduce corresponding policies to protect the vital interests of large households, otherwise in the event of a catastrophe, it is possible to lose all the money, or to suffer several years of hard work in vain, who is willing to contract......"
