Li Twenty is very sure.

"Naturally, you can! According to you, a family only needs to plant half an acre of land to provide a year's consumption for the whole family."

"Wrong!"

Qin Fan knew that Li Er would say this.

"Of course, according to you, the people will be well fed and clothed. But do you think that all the people of the world have fields?"

Li Er frowned: "Even the people who don't have land, they rent three acres of land, and they won't go hungry if they work hard for a year."

Qin Fan smiled, "Not bad! On the premise of paying the tenant rent, the people had to work six times as hard to achieve the same standard of living as before."

"That's six times the hard work, at least enough to eat, isn't it?"

Qin Fan shook his head: "It's just theoretical! If you go to the fields where the rich families belong and ask a few people, you won't feel that way."

Li Er seemed to understand something, and his face turned blue suddenly.

But Qin Fan didn't care what the other party thought, he continued: "Just now we looked at it from the perspective of a common people, but what if we substitute those big capitalists, those wealthy aristocrats?"

Qin Fan's previous words made Li Er think of the various ills of the Tang Dynasty, and he was very unhappy, but he still gave up his hand and said, "Brother Qin, please."

"If I am a wealthy nobleman, I have a good land in my hands. I can't farm the land myself, can I?"

Li Shimin nodded: "There is so much land, Brother Qin can't plant it alone, and he must hire tenants."

"Then Brother Li thinks that for those tenants, do I earn more by giving them enough food, or do I just let them earn more by maintaining food and clothing?"

Before Li Shimin could answer, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help it, he completely forgot his previous decision to resolutely not speak.

"Bastard thing! and the donkey will grind again, and the donkey will not be fed! How can there be such a thing in the world?"

Qin Fan looked at the fool with an expression: "If I am merciful, although the tenants under my command can eat enough, I will earn less!"

"Why not make less?"

Seeing the other party say this, Qin Fan immediately gave a thumbs up: "You are amazing, you are high!" But do you think that's going to solve the problem?"

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't hear what Qin Fan was saying, and he said, "If I do this, those people who farm for me will have enough to eat, and the other people will also be attached to farming for me."

"But the capitalists in your mouth must only lower their rents in order to retain the people, so that the people will soon be able to eat enough?"

Qin Fan didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji would still think of this.

And Li Shimin is also thinking about the feasibility of his good words.

It seems that it can really be!

Li Er's eyes lit up.

Qin Fan nodded: "The idea is good, but it's too naïve."

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was still complacent on the side, suddenly said dissatisfied: "Where is the naivety? Why do you call me naïve?"

"The situation you are talking about is that in a state where there are few people and many lands, the people naturally choose the best."

Eldest Sun Wuji pursed his lips: "Isn't this the current situation?"

"Or let's make a bet, I think you'll be killed by the other capitals before you change your rent!"

Li Shimin understood: "Blocking the way to wealth?"

"Yes, the kind of behavior surnamed Sun is called disrupting the market, and it will be attacked by a crowd."

Li Er thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "What if a law is made to restrict it?"

"I won't kill you on the surface, but if you have an accident yourself, you can't rely on me!"

Li Er was defeated and retreated.

Qin Fan continued:

"Even if the law could really limit the actions of those capitalists, so what?"

"In a short period of time, it may indeed be able to make a good life for the people."

"But you know, there is a limit to the wasteland that can be opened up under the sky, but the population will not

Stop growing!"

"Hundreds of years later, there are many people and little land, and I can't overstate how high I can set the rent! If you don't plant it, someone else will plant it!"

"As long as no one dies of hunger, there will be no shortage of people in my land."

Li Shimin was silent for a long time.

He and his eldest grandson Wuji were thinking about the system, but Qin Fan had already seen through human nature.

Yes, as long as these so-called "capitalists" exist.

No matter how hard you work and how much territory you build for Datang, you can't change this situation!

But......

"According to you, as long as there are capitalists, the people will never live a good life! But we can't wipe out all the capitalists!"

Qin Fan shook his head: "If you want to rebel, don't take me with you!" As I said before, Li Er is the biggest capitalist in the world, and most of those Manchu ministers can be regarded as capitalists."

"If you want to destroy them, isn't that digging your own grave?"

"What was the method that Brother Qin said before?"

Qin Fan cleared his throat and said something that Li Shimin would never forget in his life.

"Since we can't eliminate capitalists, it's better for everyone to be capitalists!"

"Everybody should be a capitalist?"

"Not bad! As long as the people have enough land in their hands and are not encroached upon, then they will be able to feed themselves!"

"But didn't you just say ......?"

"Land annexation?"

"Not bad! The family will inevitably seize the land of the people, and eventually the vast majority of the people will become tenants, and the family will only need to collect rent, and they will be able to make a lot of money."

What Li Er said was exactly the scene that Qin Fan described before.

"Therefore, there needs to be a system that can truly guarantee the interests of the people!"

"What is the system?" Li Er's eyes burned.

He had a hunch that after listening to Qin Fan say so much tonight, he might not be able to match the next few words.

"Household Responsibility System!"

"Can this method achieve the goal you said earlier?" Li Shimin said expectantly.

"Of course, under the current productivity conditions, this method can solve most of the problems."

Since there is a solution, Li Er naturally wants to know more about this method:

"What is the Household Responsibility System?"

Since Qin Fan mentioned it, he naturally wouldn't say that half of it was hidden.

"On a household basis, let the people lease land from the court, and then pay a fixed amount of taxes every year, and the rest of the grain produced will be owned by the people."

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned: "Isn't this the same as renting Yong?"

"It's different! It's just the duty of the people, and the court needs to do something about it!"

Li Er asked tentatively, "What should the imperial court do?"

"Naturally, it is to provide guidance to the people! Didn't the imperial court support so many doctors of agriculture? Let them go down to the people and tell the people what to plant and how to plant! Teach these methods to the people."

"At the same time, if there is a flood disaster, the government also needs to help the people fight the flood and provide disaster relief!"

After a pause, Qin Fan said again:

"And there's a big flaw in the rent-making modulation!"

"What flaw?"

"Only ask about the body, not about the property, pay a fixed amount!"
