Chapter 528 Jiangxi Fills the Lake

There are three keys to completing the 'Jiangxi Lake Reclamation', people, land and money.

First, there must be people, and there are enough Jiangxi immigrants.

He's done almost that, and he's almost half of it. The remaining half is also in the process of clearing the field, and it is almost complete.

In the final analysis, the people of Jiangxi are not too resistant to going to Huguang. First, most of them are immigrants or descendants of immigrants from other places, and they do not have any complex of being difficult to move to their homeland.

Second, Huguang is not a wild place, and Jingxiang has been developed very maturely during the Three Kingdoms period. When it comes to natural conditions, it is not comparable to Jiangxi. It's just that because of the war, the population is temporarily missing.

To put it bluntly, at this time, immigrants in the past are cheap to earn, not to mention that the imperial court will not only exchange one acre for two acres, but will also give them tax exemption for many years.

Therefore, except for those big households, the resistance of the people is not heavy. There are even those who take the initiative to sign up and want to go to Huguang to make a living.

So, this level of people, get it.

Then there is the land, and Huguang should come up with enough land to accept Jiangxi immigrants. The issue is also complex and mainly relates to the distribution among the provinces.

Good places like Wuchang, Hanyang, and Changsha can be pushed to accept immigrants. Huguang lacks people, there is no shortage of people in these prosperous places, and no one wants to let people from other provinces come to grab food.

Poor and remote areas like Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Yunyang, where the people are complicated, are eager to summon more people to increase the strength of the local Han people. But if you really send a large number of migrants over, they can't afford to settle at all.

So, if you don't want it, you have to force him to take it more; You have to give him as little as you want. This has to be combined with the actual situation on the ground, and it is not something that can be decided by patting the head.

But in any case, the land is also a problem that can be solved, it is nothing more than a little troublesome.

Finally, there is money, which is also the most troublesome one.

The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty was poor, and the local government was even poorer, and it was a fool's dream to expect the province to come up with the 20 million yuan of immigration funds.

Whether it is the Huguang Political Envoy Department or the Jiangxi Political Envoy Division, they do not have this ability.

That's why the old thief never dared to open this copy of 'Jiangxi Reclamation Lake'. At this time, he pushed his head to the sixth child, and it was really enough to look at him.

This means that the son is not born for nothing, and the prince is not given for nothing.

There was no way, the sixth had to give full play to his ability to make cards out of nothing and empty-handed, and forced Zhang Dazhen to transfer all the 160,000 hectares of hidden land to the imperial court.

In addition, in the process of clearing the acres of land, the confiscated hidden fields were found one after another, and there were about 140,000 hectares, adding up to a full 300,000 hectares of land.

That's a huge asset. Although the price of land in this era is now extremely cheap, one acre of land in Jiangxi is only one or two runs. But he can't hold up the amount of land in his hands, 300,000 hectares of land, how can it be worth 350 million.

Zhu Di was very happy when he heard this, and shouted: "These lands are worth so much money, so if we sell them, won't we have the money to immigrate?" ”

"Fourth brother, that's not how the account is calculated." The sixth smiled helplessly, the ruler was short, and the inch was long. The fourth brother's level of economic idiocy is as breathtaking as his carpenter's craftsmanship.

"How is that calculated?" The fourth child also knows his shortcomings and humbly asks for advice.

"Not to mention that so much land, flowing into the market at the same time, will it cause a big collapse in land prices." Zhu Zhen explained:

"Even if we force the trade, let those big families and businessmen buy these lands at a fixed price. Although it can solve the immediate need, it only allows the land to flow from the hands of one group of people to another group of people. Even make the merger situation more serious, this is self-defeating! ”

"Is it so serious?" Zhu Di said.

"It's that serious." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "The secret of the change of dynasties, to put it bluntly, is the words 'land annexation'. When the land is highly concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and the vast number of people have no place to stand, they can only rise up and rebel, and the dynasty enters the last days.

"When the land is really clean, and both rich and poor are dead, a new dynasty can be established. At this time, the land was vast and sparsely populated, everyone had fields, and the dynasty entered the so-called rule of the world. It wasn't until the new magnates began large-scale annexation again that the dynasty went downhill. As for the length of life, it is inversely proportional to the speed of the merger. ”

"Hiss......" Zhu Di thought that this was really the case, otherwise his father would not have engaged in any major emigration. That is, the faster the annexation, the shorter the dynastic lifespan. The slower the merger, the longer the lifespan, right? ”

"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded. So the mission of the imperial court was to curb annexation. Now you see what I mean, right? ”

"Understood." Zhu Di nodded in admiration, and said with sincere envy: "The most wise thing for my father over the years is to let you worship Liu Bowen as a teacher." ”

"The father-in-law I found for the fourth brother is also very wise." Zhu Zhen touted with his backhand.

"The future is also my father-in-law." Zhu Di laughed and said.

"Hahaha." The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.

"In short, these 300,000 hectares of land, we must stay in the government and let it become official land forever." Then Lao Liu Zhengse said: "The reason why Suzhou can bear one-eighth of the country's taxes with a single land is because it has a large number of official fields. ”

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded and said: "This is a great plan for the benefit of the country and the people, but the problem is that far water can't quench the thirst of the near." ”

"So we have to find a way to make it come out of the money in advance." Zhu Zhen smiled: "It depends on friends from Suzhou." ”

"I knew ......" Zhu Di couldn't help laughing: "You will definitely have to fall on their heads in the end." ”

Last year, he saw that the sixth child had no food to feed the people, so he was looking for a big household in Suzhou; There is no money to build a ship, so I am looking for a big family in Suzhou; I can't afford the ransom, so I'm still looking for a big family in Suzhou......

But at that time, those big families were locked up in prison by the sixth child, so they naturally let him handle it. But now that they have regained their freedom, can they still let him take what he wants? The fourth child couldn't help but sweat for the sixth.

"No way, who makes the whole world, they have money?" Zhu Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "You don't think that I'm like Shen Wansan, I have a cornucopia that can make my own money, right?" ”

"No, you are much more powerful than Shen Wansan." Zhu Di half-jokingly.

"Haha, there's no comparison. What is my identity and what is his identity? The difficulty is too bad. Zhu Zhen was very self-aware, got up with a smile and said:

"At this time, they should almost go to Nanchang. I'm going to give them a pick-up at King Teng's Pavilion. ”

"You're really giving them face." Zhu Di pouted. ,

"That's our God of Wealth, you can't just knock it, you still have to offer it." Zhu Zhen didn't care, he never hesitated to give this kind of favor without expense.

What's more, he really likes to hold banquets......

After walking a few steps, Zhu Di also followed.

"I'm with you."

"The fourth brother doesn't need to be respected," Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "I alone is enough to flatter them, and the two princes will give them a pick-up, I'm afraid they can't afford it." ”

"It's three." Zhu Di laughed and said: "Actually, I'm mainly here to study, see how you get with them?" ”

"Haha, today I only catch the wind, don't talk about business." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Then I'll stay with you." Zhu Di still walked side by side with him.
