Although the population of Daming is large, the outflow of tens of millions is also the world's first. However, there are still many constraints on immigrating from the mainland to overseas.

If you sail in the open sea, you must not get seasick, then it is limited to the coastal area; It's the same on land, from northwest to southwest, such as the land of Burma that will be occupied, and the lack of adaptation can be daunting.

Given the level of medical care at the time, none of these problems were easy to solve, and they had to be emigrated from nearby or similar areas.

Mekong Province, for example, receives most of the population from the southern coast, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other provinces. The Burmese land to be occupied is planned to be diverted to the Tusi of Yunnan, called Spreading Branches and Leaves, but in fact it is thinning its strength.

Therefore, the expansion of the south and the north corresponds to the people in different regions, so that they have enough land and enough living space.

As for the land annexation, the emperor's understanding went one step deeper, and the plan to nationalize the land was temporarily stopped. However, the fiefdom of the vassal king and the tundi of the guard have now all been recovered.

In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is convenient for intensive management and mechanical cultivation. The benefits of a large-scale farm are certainly much higher than that of a single family.

From ancient times to the present, the goal of "the tiller has his land" has always had a beginning and no end, and has become an idealized or demagogic slogan.

The reasons are simple and complex.

The emperor knew that even if the imperial court took back all the land and distributed it evenly according to the number of peasants, within ten years, the order would still be chaotic.

One of the most common reasons is that the peasants are unable to live due to the cause, and what is the most valuable thing they can sell, whether it is a house or arable land.

There are also peasants who were originally poor, because they have become rich by farming or other means, and they will buy land to expand production and become small landlords.

Of course, all the land was nationalized, and the peasants only had the right to cultivate, not the right to buy and sell, which could solve a big problem, which was also the emperor's original idea.

From the current point of view, the emperor felt that the full nationalization of land was not necessarily the most reasonable policy. Moreover, to achieve this goal, it is better to rob by force, and it is too expensive to buy with money.

The coexistence of nationalization and privatization may be more conducive to the development of land, especially in newly opened territories, such as the fertile and vast Great Northern Wilderness.

Beijing, the headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Inspector Yang Runmin sat in the middle, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce in Beijing gathered, and before the meeting began, everyone was whispering.

"Hehe, twenty times the fine, why do you say this is the pain?"

"I underpaid two or three hundred, and I was fined four or five thousand, this account is counted! Tsk, tsk. ”

"Young people are shallow-eyed, and the old shopkeeper of Longxing is afraid that he will take over again."

"The share of Longxing firm in Datong border city is given to the four seas, and there should be a reason behind this." Merchant A shook the document in his hand and pursed his lips.

At this time, Yang Runmin coughed dryly, glanced at everyone, and waited for the venue to be quiet before he said in a deep voice: "The handling of tax evasion and tax evasion by Longxing firm has been made and distributed to you. I hope you will take this as a warning and don't be greedy for small things and lose big ones. ”

The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce has rules and regulations, which must be approved by the relevant departments of the imperial court. Self-inspection and self-correction is one of the most important items, and it is also necessary to have an inspector to supervise.

The Inspector not only supervises the compliance of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, but also is responsible for resolving disputes with the local government, or extortion from the local government, and upholding justice for the merchants.

Because of this, the members of the Chamber of Commerce enjoy great convenience, even if the business tax is raised, there is less messy dotting, and they still earn more than before, and there is a lot less trouble.

Enjoying the care of the imperial court, and having someone escort them, and then committing the illegal act of tax evasion and tax evasion, it is not too much to say that it is ungrateful.

The matter of the Longxing firm was reported and investigated by the members of the Chamber of Commerce. On the one hand, there is competition, and on the other hand, everyone is worried that they will lose the care of the imperial court and will not enjoy the special treatment given.

In everyone's speculation, it is estimated that it was reported by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, how could the share of the border market be given to him. Obviously, there is a sense of reward.

The Longxing firm happily paid the fine, just to keep its membership in the chamber of commerce.

Otherwise, if you are kicked out of the Chamber of Commerce, you will not be able to enjoy preferential treatment and care, and under the competition of other Chamber of Commerce members, you are likely to decline, or even go out of business.

Not to mention anything else, the Longxing firm has branches in several big cities in eastern Liaodong, and the store is free of charge from the government to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If you are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, then find your own land and pay for it yourself!

Tax evasion is due to a small loss, and if we do not make up for it as soon as possible, it is also because of a small loss.

After Yang Runmintong finished the report, he was no longer verbose, picked up another document from the table, and said to everyone: "The imperial court has newly launched a policy, about the land in Liaodong, and the land tax. There may be people who are not interested, but I still want to inform you so that you can know. ”

Doesn't there be a policy, the right to perpetual cultivation, which is already quite good. If the family is big enough, getting land to operate is also a high income.

Although the merchants were different from the gentry and landlords, and were not so interested in land, they still listened attentively to Yang Runmin's briefing.

"The land of Liaodong, Jilin Province and Jilin Province to the north, can be freely bought and sold. Reclaim the wasteland, pay half of the harvest, and return it to yourself in three years......"

A low discussion rang out, which was more powerful than the preferential treatment of perpetual cultivation rights.

The ownership of the land is no longer the court's, but its own. The restrictions on the resumption of abandoned farmland have also been lifted, and the land has been returned to oneself, and you can do whatever you want.

Merchants seem to make a lot of money, but they also have a lot of risks. Land in hand, that is, long-term and stable income, the most conservative people prefer.

“…… The tax on the tenants recruited for cultivation shall not be higher than the upper limit set by the imperial court......"

When everyone heard this policy, they couldn't help but exchange glances, and they all showed expressions of understanding or confusion.

Smart people immediately thought that the hard and fast rules on taxes were the prerequisite for liberalizing land sales. Land annexation is annexation, and the interests of tenants are protected by the laws of the state, and there will be no unbearable exploitation.

The key is that state-owned and private ownership are parallel, and the land in Liaodong is now basically state-owned. There is also a policy of reclaiming land and granting land, and the people there are not short of land for cultivation.

Oh, it's a long-term plan for the future. At the same time, it is also a restriction on landlords throughout the country, a kind of protection for all tenants.

There will be less and less land, and this trend will not change as the population increases, except for large-scale wars and disasters.

But with this policy, tenants were able to live on labor even if the land annexation reached a serious level.

This is a national policy of long-term peace and stability! Many people sighed and secretly praised this policy for thinking long-term. Now that the empire is strong and the emperor is authoritative, will there be landlords and gentry who oppose and resist?
