History, like a circle, is always circulating.

Since the first emperor ruled the world, all Chinese dynasties, no matter how prosperous and brilliant they were, could not cross the threshold of 300 years of life.

Because strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty was divided into east and west, and the Song Dynasty was divided into north and south, both of which experienced the destruction of the country in the middle and then rebuilt, which is basically two dynasties.

The reasons for the fall of each dynasty seem to be different, but in Zhao's view, the root cause is the land problem.

There is a saying that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.

A new dynasty is mostly established after years of conquest and sweeping away other forces.

At the beginning of the birth of the dynasty, when there were fewer people and more land, the original interest class was shattered, the new ruling class was still vigorous, and the central authority of the court was strong, so the land would be redistributed so that the cultivators had their land.

The Qin and Han dynasties were granted land, and at first land sales were not allowed, and land was mainly allocated by military merit, so the army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were a uniform land system, the same was not allowed to buy and sell, and the land was evenly distributed by the state, and when a man became an adult, he would be granted the prescribed acres of land, and after his death, the state would take it back and grant it to others.

However, the world is developing, and the system itself may not be perfect, and the management and execution will gradually deteriorate over time, and serious land annexation will begin to occur, and the number of yeoman farmers, who bear the main taxes, will gradually decrease.

In addition, the land is limited, but the population is always increasing, and the contradiction between man and land cannot be reconciled, that is, when the dynasty begins to decline.

In the Middle Tang Dynasty, the division of feudal towns led to the complete destruction of the uniform land system, there was no restriction on land annexation, and the heavy taxes forced the people to rise up to fight, and the society fell into violent turmoil, and there were endless wars for nearly a hundred years.

In this context, the Song Dynasty relied on the support of the big landlords and finally took power, so naturally it could not harm the interests of the big landlords, so it could only adopt the policy of not establishing the land system, inherited the official land of the Tang Dynasty, and affirmed the legal ownership of the land occupied by the powerful landlords, forming a de facto two-field land system.

In fact, if the tax is really collected according to the land, this system is not a big problem, it adapts to the development of productive forces, relaxes the relationship of personal dependence, and promotes the rapid development of industry and commerce.

But the problem is that the powerful landlords are the powerful class, the ruling class, and the greed and selfishness of human nature make them evade the passing of taxes through various means.

However, the Song Dynasty faced a strong external threat and had to maintain high military expenditures.

Therefore, if Zhao Mengqi wants to save the day, he has to try to change the land system.

He wanted to simply learn from the later generations to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, but his strength did not allow it, he himself was a representative of the ruling class, and the power base was the bureaucratic landlords, I am afraid that as soon as he shouted the slogan, he would have to die immediately, maybe he ate an unknown elixir, or maybe he accidentally fell into the water......

What he can do is to make some seemingly unobtrusive improvements to the current system.

At this time, in the Great Song Dynasty, in terms of land management, it was mainly rented tenant management, and more than seventy percent of the farmland was like this, that is to say, the vast majority of farmers rented land for a living.

Since land is bought and sold freely, it is not necessarily all owned by the bureaucracy, and there are many people who have become rich through industry and commerce in the private sector, and they will also buy land, after all, land is an asset that retains its value more than precious metals.

Just like in later generations, rich people like to buy more real estate.

In principle, the whole world is not the king's land, and the ownership of the land in the world belongs to the emperor or the state, so there is the right to collect taxes.

Others only have the "right of possession" and "right of use" of the land, the landlord obtains income by virtue of the right of possession, and the peasant obtains income by relying on the right of use, and the three are both opposite and interdependent.

However, now it is the powerful landlords who ignore the ownership of the state and exploit the peasants who actually use the land, destroying the ecological balance.

So Zhao Mengqi groped and wanted to establish a three

Harmonious distribution model.

For example, he used 50,000 acres of land to build a grange, nominally owned by Zhao Hui, in order to gain the support of Zhao's official family and the royal family and prevent it from being embezzled.

In fact, commercial institutions are set up to operate and manage, and then the ownership rights are capitalized and ticketed to meet the investment needs of the wealthy, and then handed over to the peasants in a suitable way to cultivate and produce.

In the end, about 50 percent of the profits are distributed to the farmers who farm the land, two of which are to investors, and the other 30 percent are management, production costs, taxes, and so on.

At this time, there were two main forms of tenancy, the division system and the quota system.

After deducting agricultural taxes and seeds, the tenants and landlords are distributed according to the proportion, which is generally divided in half, and there will be a certain fluctuation depending on which party produces the production tools.

The fixed amount is simpler, the tenant pays a fixed amount of rent to the landlord, regardless of whether the annual income is good or bad, and the balance belongs to the tenant, but the tenant may have to pay taxes.

In Zhao Mengqi's way, the grange will become the main body of taxpayers, and all taxes should be paid uniformly, even including other taxes on farmers' forced labor, and investors and farmers will no longer have to bear taxes.

It is precisely because of this that fifty percent of the net income can definitely be welcomed by the tenants, and the investors seem to have reduced some of the income ratio compared with the previous landlords, but the management costs are saved, and there is a lot less trouble, and this income is still fair, reasonable and legal.

"When the time comes, field rolls will be issued, and at present, they will be bought with grain, twenty stones and one acre of field rolls, and they will receive 20% of the tax-free income at the Grange every year, and the field rolls can be freely transferred and sold, and the price will be on the market, how about it, is the rich woman interested?"

Zhao Mengqi looked at Qian Duo like a wolf grandmother, and seduced him step by step.

Qian Duo's calculation ability is still much better than Zhao Huilai, and he immediately made an abacus in his heart.

One acre of fertile land in Pingjiang is normally about 30 yuan, but it usually has a price and no market, and there are no special circumstances, and normal people will not sell their fields easily.

Twenty stone of grain is worth about thirty yuan in normal times, but if it is according to the current price of Pingjiang City, it is one hundred yuan, which seems to be a little cost-effective.

One-fifth of the income of one acre of land is about six buckets of rice, and the discount is almost consistent.

In other words, the annual interest rate of 3.3 percent is not high, but in this era, there is a lack of investment channels, and even Du Mu can be speculated, and it is better than stable, which is acceptable, and this field roll also has financial attributes.

In addition to the economic aspect, political factors also need to be considered, the Qian family wants to be tied to King Yan, so they naturally have to support Zhao Mengqi's idea, Qian Duo's subconscious, he still hopes that Zhao Mengqi will have a good impression of himself.

After thinking about it, Qian Duo turned his head and asked Qian Xiaopang, "Do you know how much food our Qian family has?"

Qian Xiaopang scratched his head, "This ...... I don't know, we have so many houses, and we don't have a general account, so I heard my father seem to have said that the clan can collect seven or eight hundred thousand stone of rent every year."

Fuck, what a fucking tyrant, isn't this just seven or eight hundred thousand acres of land in the light clan!?

Zhao Mengqi remembered that when he checked the bypass book over the years, the peak of the summer grain in the entire Pingjiang Mansion was 700,000 stones, and the Qian family exceeded ...... just by collecting rent

Qian Duo didn't notice Zhao Mengqi's expression, he only lowered his head and calculated, "Although Pingjiang has been hit by a disaster, but the rest of the two Zhejiang provinces are full harvests, this will be almost summer grain into the warehouse, at least one million stones should be able to take out, then you can buy 50,000 mu......

Immediately, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Mengqi, her face became proud, "Hey, you just said that each household can't exceed 20%, your grange is only 50,000 mu in total, not enough for me to buy, just 10,000 mu, it's not interesting, I think it's better to forget it!"

Tsk, Zhao Mengqi didn't expect that he would be a prince in his life, and he could still be so proud to show off his wealth......

We are people with backbone, and we will never bend our waists for three buckets of rice!

But a million stones, it's still worth folding......

At this time, Qian Duo is a golden doll shining with dazzling light in Zhao Mengqi's eyes, as for what to call it, everything is vain.

Zhao Mengqi threw away the fishing rod and stood up suddenly,

Eagerly hugged Qian Duo, "Qian Niang, you should be tired of standing, you sit down and talk."

Qian Duo unceremoniously sat on the recliner, stood reserved, and said in a tone of voice, "Want to talk? Call my sister!"

"Sister." Zhao Mengqi blurted out without hesitation.

Wanwan and the others hurriedly covered their faces, they just didn't see it, they really didn't expect that the dignified Yan King could have such a bottom line, Qian Duo was several months younger than him.

Qian Duo was also stunned for a moment, she just wanted to kill Zhao Mengqi's majesty, and let out her anger, but she didn't really expect him to call him that.

"Sister, you see that my heart is so sincere, can you talk?" Zhao Mengqi didn't seem to feel ashamed at all, and shouted more enthusiastically.

Hearing this hot "sister" in her ears, Qian Duo suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, her heart was pounding, and a red glow appeared on her beautiful face again, which was more delicate and moving than the peach blossoms stained with dew in the early morning.

Qian Duo only felt some heat in his body, tightened his legs, twisted and whispered, "That... Let's talk about ...... Let's talk about it."

I'm talking to you about business, not in love, as for that?

Zhao Mengqi looked at Qian Duo strangely, shook his head, and got down to business, "Actually, it's not just this one grange, a total of 160,000 mu of land has been confiscated from the Liu family, and some of the more scattered and remote ones can be removed, and two 50,000 mu granges can be formed, in addition, the original official fields in Pingjiang Mansion can also be restructured accordingly, and many fields can be made after the Qingzhang is finished, plus the new fertile land after the water conservancy construction, isn't this a field, my sister wants to buy as much as she wants."

Seeing Zhao Mengqi's serious appearance, Qian Duo tried his best to calm down his emotions, calmed down a little, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Speaking of which, it's only 30,000 acres of stock......

"My sister, don't you still believe in my credibility, in short, as long as you have enough food, 50,000 acres of fields will be delivered immediately, and in the following year, you will be counted according to the harvest of the existing grange......

Zhao Mengqi was full of promises, acting like an insurance seller.

At this time, Zhao Yan couldn't look down on his brother's appearance, and pouted and shouted, "Fourth brother, if a bad woman doesn't buy it, she won't buy it, let's not ask her, isn't it just food, our Rongwang Mansion is not nothing, I'll write a letter to my father and ask him to send all the food!"

"Who says I won't buy it!?" Qian Duo was immediately unconvinced, and said angrily, "Qian Long, write a letter to my father now!"

When Zhao Mengqi heard this, he smiled happily, and the Rongwang Mansion could take out at least 500,000 stones, plus the Qian family's 1 million stones, and suddenly had 1.5 million more stones in his hand, and he was even more confident in this food showdown with the Haoqiang.

Originally, Lin'an was also a big consumer of grain, and he was cut off by himself, so Zhao Mengqi would not have the idea of fighting Lin'an again.

However, Xie Tang and these people actually smuggled the grain under their control to Lin'an for storage, isn't it just right to move it in a big way?

He was rejoicing when he suddenly saw a clipper on the lake rapidly approaching the embankment.

On the boat, Geng Zhi shouted, "Your Highness, I found it! Found it!"
