Chapter 21 Sale of Land
With so many livestock seized, Su Yan began to think about how to make good use of these livestock to maximize his interests.
Ploughing cattle can be leased to the displaced people to reclaim the fields, and the rented money can be repaid in installments together with the loan to buy the land, anyway, it is impossible to distribute them for free, and they can only earn a temporary gratitude, which has no direct benefit to Su Yan.
Su Yan plans to gather all the more than 1,000 Daiyun goats and set aside a goat pasture for grazing, which can not only solve part of the unemployment problem, but also make Su Yan some money by slaughtering goats and selling mutton every year.
What's more, Su Yan can eat meat often in this way!
You must know that Daiyun goats have been praised by experts in later generations for their thin and delicate skin and light taste, and they are excellent sheep breeds in the mountainous areas of FJ Province.
As for the more than 500 chickens and ducks, Su Yan is going to keep dozens for himself, and the rest will be taken out and sold to the common people.
Su Yan quickly made up his mind about the handling of livestock, and at this moment, Li Daotai spoke again:
"General, the anti-Qing tax paid by each household is also registered and stored in the treasury, you can see it directly in the back, in addition, the subordinates personally found some silver tickets in the mansions of the four families, and those silver tickets were basically deposited in the money houses of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and the total amount was about 50,000 taels of silver."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he really knew the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and now although his home has been raided, isn't the money still outside.
"These people, why are they so quick to turn in." Su Yan chuckled, although he was talking to himself with questioning words, but he quickly guessed in his heart the reason why those squires and landlords were in a hurry to pay the anti-Qing tax, it was nothing more than that he was frightened by the fate of Jiang Guanyu and others, in order to dissociate himself from the latter, and said that he did not participate in the collaboration with the enemy, so he paid the money and grain so readily.
He was not surprised by the existence of the silver ticket, only from the four homes to search out more than 5,000 taels of silver, he still felt a little little, sure enough, the big head was stored in the money bank, but the amount of money saved was a little surprising to him, he had no way to take out the money now, he could only wait to take Quanzhou, and then take out the money.
Su Yan flipped to the back of the account book, and quickly read the number of registrations, this look made him even more speechless, dozens of gentry and landlords in the county, large and small, paid a total of more than 5,000 taels of silver, and nearly 2,000 stone of grain, although it was not much more than the money and grain copied, but this was also considered to be the initiative of those squires and landlords to "contribute", and there was still so much money and grain, it was difficult not to surprise him.
After all, in Su Yan's impression, the squire landlords in the late Ming Dynasty were a group of iron roosters who were unstoppable, and unless they put a knife directly on their necks, they didn't want to vomit blood.
After sending Li Daotai away, Su Yan sat on the main seat and opened the system panel, wanting to see how much money and food he had in his hand.
[Host: Su Yan.]
Age: 21
Land Command Ability: ββββ
Attributes: Good old man of his subordinates (Morale +1 in wartime), Natural Warrior (Command Effect of Land Battle +1)
Treasury: 22,690 taels (54,750 taels sealed)
Grain: 3508 stonesγ
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and before I knew it, Su Yan actually had so much money and food in his hands, more than 22,000 taels of silver, if Su Yan didn't continue to fight against it, this money would be able to live a comfortable life for three generations of his children and grandchildren.
It's that the food may still be a little insufficient, don't look at the more than 3,500 stones, you think it's enough, you can do a simple conversion.
The stone of the Ming Dynasty was converted into a modern jin, which should be converted to the standard of 120 jin / stone, each soldier needs to consume more than two catties of rice per day, Su Yan has a total of 1054 people, and he will consume more than 2,000 catties per day, that is, 17.6 stones, if it is only supplied to the army, it can only last one hundred and ninety-nine days.
But the fact is that now Su Yan not only has to feed the soldiers under his command, but also the more than 2,000 displaced people outside the city, if he does not provide food for those displaced people for disaster relief, it will not take a few days for the hungry displaced people to storm the county and turn into a riot.
Therefore, Su Yan can only open a disaster relief porridge shop outside the city every day in the past few days to ensure that the displaced people will not starve to death.
"No, the sale of land must be carried out as soon as possible, and if this continues, the precious grain will be eaten up by the displaced people!"
Su Yan thought to himself, so he sent someone to call Li Daotai and Liu Wenmin, who had not yet left the county office, and under Li Daotai's bitter expression, he issued a new task to the two, asking that the stolen land be sold to the homeless people tomorrow, and let Liu Wenmin preside over this matter, and Li Daotai will be next to him.
Li Daotai didn't know about the sale of land, after leaving Su Yan's room, Liu Wenmin took the initiative to explain to him, and after learning the ins and outs from the former, Li Daotai couldn't help but gasp.
It seems that Su Yan is very confident in occupying this place for a long time, otherwise how could he come up with the attention of selling land to displaced people in the form of loans, but this is also good, as long as Su Yan stays here, the safer and more stable their Li family will be.
β¦β¦
The next day, June 11, the fourth year of the Yongli calendar.
Ten days have passed since Su Yan came to this world, and under his instruction, Liu Wenmin and Li Daotai announced the sale of land to the displaced people outside the city, and the price of land set by Liu Wenmin was determined according to the grade and location of the land, the best would not be too expensive, and the worst would not be too cheap.
For example, the unit price of the most expensive mu of land in the high-grade fields is 120 taels of silver, and the average price is about 80 taels, and the average price of the medium-class fields is about 50 taels, while the average price of the inferior fields is much cheaper, and the average price is between 15 and 20 taels.
Seeing that it was still a bit high for their current self, the homeless people were frightened at first, but after hearing that they could repay the loan in installments, each of them began to liven up their minds.
Su Yan announced the abolition of the poll tax a few days ago, and the matter of apportioning the land into the mu has spread throughout Dehua County, without the poll tax on the head, after a year of hard work, the land will be handed over, and he can leave a few children in his hands, and it is not difficult to repay the loan.
Therefore, after sorting out the bills behind them, many people began to be moved, and they flocked to the county government to take loans to buy land.
Helplessly, those local residents who came to join in the fun had to leave in a huff.
