235. One Temple, Two Worlds

One hall, two worlds.

The group of people in the east is enthusiastic and noisy like a vegetable market, but the group of people in the west are shocked and inexplicable, full of confusion, and dead and silent like a cemetery.

What are these guys doing?

What is Tanmaki?

A million acres?

Twenty stone of grain for one acre?

Isn't that 20 million stone grain?

With so much grain in King Yan, how could the price of grain still be high?

The food we have in our hands is worthless?

One question after another, like a poisonous flame burning the hearts and livers of Pingjiang and Jiaxing Haoqiang.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, so they put down their faces and went to the familiar gentry in a low voice to ask for a solution.

Zhou Xian of Pingjiang Mansion saw that his clan uncle had been registered, and he was squeezed out of the crowd, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Uncle Jiu, although our Zhou family is divided, they are also in the same lineage, even if you can't connect the blessings and misfortunes with the common qi, you are always looking at the ancestors, pull your nephew along......

Zhou Jiufu, who came to Lin'an, looked at this nephew with pity, shook his head and sighed, "How do you tell me to pull you? Don't blame the uncle for being ruthless, if you want to blame yourself, you can only blame yourself for dying, why don't you have to do it against His Royal Highness King Yan? Your Highness, is that an ordinary person? A Heningmen court will try a small knife, and the Manchu ministers will be obedient. Do you think you're very capable, and you can beat those people in the court!? I still want to play with His Royal Highness King Yan and fight strategies, isn't that just the birthday boy hanging, and he thinks he will have a long life?"

This question made Zhou Xian's face red, as if he had lead on his head, and he couldn't lift it up at all, so he could only plead weakly.

"Uncle Nine, it's useless to regret it now, and your nephew doesn't ask you for anything else, can you tell your nephew about this grange system and field rolls, and see if there is any room for remedy."

Zhou Jiufu glanced in the direction of King Yan, and thought about it, anyway, this is not a secret, King Yan only asked that it should not be revealed in advance, and now it should be fine.

After all, they are of the same clan, so if they can help, they can help, "Hey, when people are old, their hearts are easy to soften, just talk to you."

After a lot of words, Zhou Jiufu knew everything, and spoke in detail, "His Royal Highness King Yan also said that the fields are not simply rented to farmers for farming, and it seems that a cooperative model will be piloted, which is likely to improve the yield and efficiency of the fields, and I don't understand the specific content very well, probably just like the workshop hired workers, the cultivators only need to contribute, and other seed farming tools and other things are all in charge of the Grange Cooperative, and those of us who buy the fields just need to collect money every year."

The Pingjiang gentry on the side were stunned when they heard it, and it took a while to understand a little, and then they started to talk about it.

"Can you still play like this? Neither Guantian nor Mintian......

"Calculated that this is less than half of the income from renting land in the past, so it's not cost-effective."

"Hehe, of course, you don't have as much income to pay taxes as before, and you don't want to think about it, the system that His Royal Highness King Yan has come up with will allow someone to evade taxes?"

"That's right, it means that the taxes of the landlords and tenant farmers are paid by the grange, no one wants to escape, the government collects taxes easily, and most people save trouble, which is actually a good thing." Z.br>

"Twenty stones of rice to buy an acre of field rolls, and then a stable income of at least six buckets per year, which is equivalent to three cents of interest per year, is actually not bad, after all, the money and grain are also put, and this ticket can also be bought and sold and transferred......

In these days, there are no banks, and those who put money in the money village and hand over the shop have to pay a storage fee, and with the conservative thinking of the Chinese people, they generally do not invest all the money in risky industry and commerce, so a lot of wealth among the people is either a cellar or a purchase of land.

But firstly, the land is limited, and secondly, the king of Yan obviously wants to restrict the merger, and now this field roll can not only maintain its value like the actual field, but also have a stable income, which is indeed a good way.

More and more gentry wanted to understand this, and gradually became tempted.

"This kind of cooperative, at first glance it doesn't sound unusual, it's about the same as the way we hire long-term workers to farm the land, but from the perspective of the design of the grange system, it is probably not so simple, I'm afraid there is another mystery

Machine, maybe it can really increase the yield of the field."

For agriculture, Zhao Mengqi has serious thinking, such as chemical fertilizer and pesticide hybridization and other scientific and technological aspects he does not understand, and he cannot study it overnight, so he has to find a way from the business model.

Huaxia is basically a family. The small-scale peasant economy of male cultivation and female weaving, self-sufficiency, has continued in large numbers until later generations, and Zhao Mengqi has no illusions of completely changing it, but only exploring and improving it in areas with suitable conditions with reference to the successful experience of later generations.

"I have to admit that we completely lost this time, the affairs of the meridian world are unstoppable, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, I think, it is better for us to surrender as soon as possible."

"What Brother Zhou said is reasonable, I don't think King Yan will kill us all, right?"

"It's hard to say, King Yan has given us a chance before, and we will bow our heads until the overall situation is decided, is it useful?"

"No matter what, we can't just sit back and wait, otherwise, let's test King Yan's attitude with the matter of buying field rolls?"

"Hmph, I want to go to you, contemptible people can't do such a spineless thing, and see what this Yan King can do to me!?"

"That's it, bow your head so easily, then the money my family has invested in it, won't it be all wasted, hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful, as long as I persist, I will never lose!"

After a period of discussion and quarrel, this gang of heroes cracked and fell apart.

Some are unwilling to shrink their assets and want to resist to the end, some think that they can keep a little bit and want to surrender and admit defeat, and some are in a dilemma and don't know what to do.

At this time, one million acres of fields were basically subscribed and divided, and a few gentry from Changguo County, Qingyuan Prefecture wanted to discuss with King Yan.

"Your Highness, a few of us also want to buy field rolls, but you also know that we are all islands, and we don't have much land, so we can't get any food, so let's see if we can use the money from this seafood sale to exchange for field rolls."

Changguo is actually the Zhoushan Islands in later generations, and the waters around it should be the largest fishing ground off the coast of China.

This time, in order to fill the food shortage, Zhao Mengqi not only ordered the Fenghua army to carry out large-scale fishing in Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River, but also placed a large order for the gentry of Changguo to purchase seafood at the price of ten yuan and one catty.

Because of the problems of preservation and transportation, the market for seafood is limited, so the marine fishery has not developed much, and the seafood cannot be sold at any price in normal times, and the enthusiasm of fishermen to catch is not very high.

But Yan Wang's big business fell down, these businessmen saw that it was profitable, and immediately organized a large number of boats and fishermen to fish, and in just half a month, the output of more than 6 million catties broke out, and as long as Yan Wang did not stop buying, the catch will continue to increase.

Zhao Mengqi is not surnamed Zhu, but he will not give up the sea, whether it is military, or trade and fishery, he has corresponding plans, after hearing the request of these "sea people", he laughed.

"Yes, now because of the lack of grain in the disaster area, it is required to exchange grain for field rolls, and you can buy it with money in the future, and it will be open to the public to sell, even if ordinary people only buy one acre."

"However, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, you don't want to guard the cornucopia of the sea, but you want to put the money into the fields, isn't this a small loss because of the near and far?"

"In the past, your catch could not be sold, and the rest could only be piled up on the beach and left to rot, but this king has a way to solve the problem of preserving and transporting seafood, so that it can be sold to inland areas, so that in the future, you will catch more and earn more, so you should invest your money in upgrading your fishing capacity, such as changing to better and larger fishing boats, and improving fishing tools and fishing methods."

After hearing this, several people were still a little puzzled, "Your Highness, how can this catch be kept for a long time in addition to being made into salted fish and dried goods?" As the old saying goes, "If you don't sell wood for a hundred miles, you won't sell it for a thousand miles", and when this seafood is transported inland, it can't be sold at the price of silver to recover the cost, and there will be a few people who can buy it."

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, this king has a way, for now, this king plans to build several large shipyards and seafood processing plants, etc., if you believe in this king, you are welcome to join the shares at that time."

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and then they all nodded, "Xiaomin and the others naturally believe in His Highness, then we will keep the money and join His Highness's workshop when the time comes."

Let's not talk about whether they can make a lot of money, just doing business with the future official family is enough to impress them.

After Zhao Mengqi persuaded a few people in Changguo, he turned his head to look at everyone, "If you are interested, you are also welcome, roughly like a field roll, the new workshop will issue shares, and I also said that the Taihu Lake Project will pull many industries, I am afraid it is difficult to meet you alone, and many people are relatively unfamiliar with some industries and do not know how to operate, so this king is also ready to build relevant workshops and shops, if there is an industry that you are optimistic about, you can buy stocks to invest, don't worry too much, and the money will be divided when it expires." Of course, if you lose money, you can only admit it."

The hall burst into laughter, "Haha, with the wisdom and vision of His Highness, how can you lose......

"Even if you are really unlucky, you will naturally admit it if you lose, and business has always had profits and losses."

"Oh, the small people's family background is not thick, in order to buy field rolls, they have already bought all the money in the family to buy grain, but they don't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune with His Highness, it seems that they have to sell the family's land and property."

The person who said this may not necessarily think that Yan Wang's stock can make money, but he understands that Yan Wang is now implementing the meridian realm, and sooner or later it will be his family's turn, so he wants to take this opportunity to explore the wind.

The other gentry woke up one after another, and suddenly they all quieted down, and looked at King Yan fixedly, their eyes full of apprehension.

Zhao Mengqi's mind turned, and when he realized the true purpose of this question, he calmed down and thought about it seriously.

Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, it is indeed much better to deal with internal problems by more moderate means than to break out contradictions.

So he said cautiously, "Pingjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion have begun to cross the border, and the land transaction has been frozen, so let's not talk about it for the time being, in other places, if the land has a proper origin, then whether it is in the tax register or not, this king supports the imperial court to buy it at the market price, and this policy is only valid before the local border begins."

Zhao Mengqi said this, there is no need to worry that the imperial court will not have money to buy land, because he plans to change the official land into a new-style grange, change hands and sell the field rolls, and the money will be solved.

In fact, there will certainly be many powerful who are unwilling to lose their interests and hand over control of the land, but it always hurts to minimize the number of opponents.

After getting King Yan's direct reply, many gentry and heroes can finally let go of their hearts a little, the knife in King Yan's hand is too sharp, and it may be difficult to avoid being cut meat, but ask yourself, according to King Yan's practice, he can still keep most of his interests, and the loss is only the part that should have been paid to the court.

After all, if you insist on fighting against King Yan, how miserable the end will be, and those Pingjiang Haoqiang in front of you are living examples.
