236. Borrow the money of the king of Yan to buy the grain of the king of Yan
Selling hidden land to the imperial court at market price?
It seems to be a fair deal, but land is the best asset in this era, for the vast majority of Chinese people, the first thought after having money is to buy land, and they will never sell land easily until they have to, and people usually associate selling land with the decline of losers.
And the Haoqiang have an almost pathological attachment to the land, eager to pull every inch of land they see to their homes.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and he can't fight King Yan, and he can't stop the meridian realm, so selling land has become the most optimal and wisest choice.
Seeing that the gentry from other places won this policy from King Yan, many Pingjiang Jiaxing Haoqiang, who had already lost their fighting spirit, had expectations and could no longer hold back.
"Your Highness! We are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and I ask Your Highness to treat us equally and allow us to sell our fields to the imperial court."
"Yes, yes, why can other places be redeemed by the imperial court, but not Pingjiang and Jiaxing?"
"Your Royal Highness, Xiaomin Zhou Xian swears that in the future, he will absolutely wholeheartedly support His Highness, support any decision of His Highness, including the meridian law, and promise to actively cooperate and take the initiative to confess, please be merciful and redeem the land in Xiaomin's house."
"Xiaomin Bloomberg also swore that he would definitely support His Highness, ask His Highness to be magnanimous, and buy my family's land."
"And the small people......"
In a short time, hundreds of people pleaded and pleaded, begging the king of Yan to buy their family's land that was not on the tax register.
This strange scene made the gentry in other places feel both amused and congested, and King Yan's method of manipulation was too terrible.
Zhao Mengqi looked at these people coldly, "Treat them equally? Generous!? Hehe, don't be ashamed to say this!? An hour ago, Lone Ke gave you a chance, and if you don't cherish it, who is to blame?"
The gentry were stunned, yes, King Yan had said several times before that he would take the initiative to report the hidden land, and there would be corresponding compensation, but at that time, everyone thought that they had won the game, who was willing to accept this unequal treaty of "loss of power and loss of wealth"?
Only at this time did he think about begging for mercy and peace, and he wanted King Yan to be magnanimous, which was really a bit shameless.
However, for some people, the face depends on the situation, and the husband should be able to bend and stretch, how can he be stubborn?
As a person, the most important thing is to know the current affairs and be flexible, this is not shameless, but great wisdom!
"Your Highness, Fang Cai Xiaomin was bewitched by the female cadre, and was blinded by lard, and now he has repented, and I hope that His Highness will give Xiaomin another chance to be a new person......
"Your Highness, the sky is high, and the ground is thick, don't be like us stupid people."
"Zuo Chuanyun, "People who have no faults, can change after passing, and the good is great", we all have the heart to change and be good, and please Your Highness to fulfill it."
"Your Royal Highness, my Su family has been in the imperial court for generations, and it can be described as loyal, and it can be regarded as a little credit, please ask Your Highness to be extra generous for the sake of the Su family's ancestors."
"The old eunuch has traveled all his life, running for the court for more than 20 years, even if he has no credit, there is always some hard work, this time he did make a big mistake, he should not disobey His Highness, and he did not dare to ask for too much, he just asked His Highness to show mercy and open the net."
A group of people are almost messing around, throwing and writhing, putting on all kinds of rhetorical reasons, presenting themselves as vulnerable people, trying to seek leniency.
Zhao Mengqi couldn't laugh or cry, he wanted to kill these guys with a stick, but the practice of killing them all and leaving no room for anything is unpopular in Confucian culture, and sometimes the things that need to be considered as a superior are more complicated, after all, no one likes that their boss is a ruthless person.
In desperation, he decided to make a little more concession, "Hey, you are unjust, but you can't be unkind, but the way of heaven is constant, everyone has to be responsible for what they do, if there is a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright. Gu can redeem your hidden field, but there are a few conditions, but I don't know if you can accept it."
Is there still a condition?
Alas, I am a fish and a meat, so I can only admit it, and I only hope that King Yan will not be too harsh.
This part of the gentry put on a posture of resignation and nodded
"Your Highness, you say."
Zhao Mengqi combed his head, "One, we must take the initiative to confess all the hidden fields, and there must be no more concealment!"
"Second, make up the tax for 20 years, the tax amount, let's make it simpler, five buckets per mu a year."
"Third, if there are mountains, rivers and lakes that are illegally occupied, they must be handed over free of charge!"
"Fourth, with regard to the new grain tax law, I intend to submit it to the imperial court for formal establishment and promulgation, and you must voluntarily submit it to the court. Sign the petition!"
"Fifth, the matter of meridian boundaries and mergers, you must also unconditionally cooperate and support!"
After these five conditions were spoken, the gentry began to calculate in their hearts.
If the meridian is thoroughly implemented, the field will definitely not be able to be hidden, and it will be a matter of time before it is a matter of time before it takes the initiative or not.
Paying taxes, it's really painful, but fortunately, King Yan didn't ask for a lot of money, five buckets and one mu are discounted, and twenty years is ten stones, which is equivalent to half of the field price, alas, it's a bit ruthless, and it's better than nothing.
The new tax law, once it becomes the public law of the Great Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to cutting off the wealth of many people, you must know that hoarding in the time of famine is a common means for Haoqiang to make a fortune. The petition was signed in support of the new tax law, and there were a lot of people who were offended.
But now the mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect itself, where can he take care of the others, as for the other two, it is even more reasonable, there is nothing to say.
Immediately, Zhou Xian took the lead in admitting, "Your Highness, these small people all accept it, I just want to dare to ask, can the small people buy field rolls or workshop stocks?"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness has no objection to these conditions, we all admit the punishment, and we won't buy land in the future, so please ask Your Highness to allow Xiaomin to buy some field rolls and maintain their lives."
Immediately, hundreds of Pingjiang gentry expressed their willingness to accept the conditions, but nearly 200 still hesitated and did not squeak.
Oh, it's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die.
Zhao Mengqi glanced at it, his eyes were a little meaningful, and then he chuckled, "You can sell it, but you still have money and food?"
The gentry were stunned, we have no money, but there is still a lot of grain, even if we pay the tax arrears, there is still a lot left, don't you exchange this field roll for grain?
At this moment, on the side of the foreign gentry, someone said quietly, "Don't forget, the money you borrowed from us is due in five days......
In Pingjiang and Jiaxing Haoqiang, many people were shocked.
They borrowed more than 10 million yuan in total, and the actual value of the real estate used as collateral must greatly exceed this amount, and if they do not repay it within the time limit, the loss will be great.
But where can they get the money to pay it back now?
The only thing that can be used is grain, and if it is used to pay off debts, it can only be calculated at market price, or even lower.
What is the current market price? Two through one stone!
But except for their own original grain, the others were bought after spending more than five times, which is a hard loss!
Mother, it turns out that all this has long been in King Yan's calculations, no wonder he is not afraid that he and others will not sell food.
No one wants to trade at a loss, but when the creditor comes to the door, where is the choice?
No, it's not two stones!
King Yan earned 20 million yuan of grain from selling field rolls today, and with so much grain in hand, he was able to push the price of grain to the price of normal seasons.
In normal seasons, the price of grain in Pingjiang is consistent!
That is to say, the total of nearly 15 million stone grain in their hands will only be worth 15 million yuan when the time comes, and there will not be much left after paying off the debt.
After careful calculation, 50 million guan bought more than 9 million stone grain, and in the end, not only was the grain gone, but also the original more than 5 million stone was needed to repay the debt, which came and went, which is equivalent to a net loss of more than 50 million yuan!
All of this money and grain were put together by more than 300 people, with a few tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and a maximum of two or three million.
After figuring out this, the Pingjiang Jiaxing gentry only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and their hearts were like knives.
They all turned their heads, none
Bi stared at Xie Tang angrily at several culprits, eager to tear them apart immediately.
Although it was the collective will of more than 300 powerful people to fight against King Yan to prevent the implementation of the warp boundary, it did not affect them to throw the black pot and resentment on the head of the organizers after their defeat.
Niang Xipi, it's all your fault, if you weren't dizzy and wanted to instigate me to join, why did you fall to such a miserable situation, and you don't want to admit defeat at this time, is it useful!?
King Yan doesn't care if we admit defeat at all, he has already calculated everything, and he put us into the deep pit without knowing it, and now he almost fills the soil.
There are still nearly 200 people who still have extravagant hopes, thinking that if they persist, a miracle will happen, and now they are gradually waking up, in the eyes of King Yan, these people are dry bones in the grave, and there is no room to fight back.
Among the gentry in other places, except for the part of the people who participated in borrowing money, they could vaguely know King Yan's plan before, and most of them only figured out King Yan's general routine at this time.
You want to monopolize food, right, you like to buy food, right, let you buy it, buy it hard, and run out of money? Lend money to you to buy!
When you run out of money, you will use more food to overwhelm the price, so that you will be empty of money and food, and you will lose all your money!
There is no sword and sword, and there is no overwhelming force, within the generally accepted rules, completely using commercial means, and finally crushing the victory.
What a fucking ferocity!
A gust of wind poured into the dead silence of the hall, and many of the gentry could not help but shiver.
The wind is not cold, but the heart is cold.
There are also people who wake up after a stirring.
Zhu Gui desperately pulled away the crowd, squeezed in front of An Zaixu, and bowed and bowed again and again, "Father-in-law, the younger brother admits his mistake to you, don't take the matter of separation seriously, our two families have intersected for generations, and they have married Qin. Jin Zhihao, for the sake of the children, forgive the little brother once."
"Huh!? Aren't you very tough just now, and you said in front of all the virtuous gentlemen that you want to reconcile, hehe, don't I want to lose face?" Ahn Jae-xu took Qiao's posture.
Zhu Gui completely put down his body and kept apologizing, "My father-in-law, it's all the younger brother, don't you like the Akiyama picture very much, I'll send it to you when I turn around, and in the future, my Zhu family will be taken over by the third child, and let Lei Niang be the family, don't you think?"
The daughters have been married to the Zhu family for five or six years, and the young couple is also happy, if they really get married, they will have to be complained by their daughters to death, and now the Zhu family has taken back the meaning of reconciliation and divorce, and it is not a bad thing to let their daughter be in charge.
An Zaixu has earned all his face, and he is no longer aggressive, "Okay, I'll reluctantly accept your sincerity."
Zhu Gui was overjoyed, and he didn't care about being ugly, so he hurriedly begged, "My father-in-law, can this loan be postponed for a while, or, at today's grain price, I will pay you back in advance now, and use the 50,000 stone grain I bought from you, anyway, the grain is still stored in your granary, which also saves a lot of trouble, I bought it for five yuan and one stone, and you have also made a lot of money."
Because of Xie Tang's previous strategy, in order to prevent King Yan from forcibly conscripting, even the grain in Pingjiang City was transported out, so the grain they bought in Anji Prefecture, Changzhou was basically still in the local area, anyway, their purpose was to control the grain and not let King Yan buy it.
"It's better to talk about other things, but this thing......
An Zaixu looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but look at King Yan, only to see King Yan shrug his shoulders and make an indifferent expression, and then he continued to speak.
"I can't help you with this, let's tell you the truth, His Royal Highness King Yan is your real creditor, and the money was lent to you by me on behalf of His Royal Highness, and besides, the grain sold to you is actually His Royal Highness King Yan, and I have sold it to him a long time ago......
What!?
Co-author, I borrowed King Yan's money and bought King Yan's grain?
Ju Gyu almost vomited blood, and his eyes were white, like dead fish eyes.
