Chapter 276: The dead don’t need to discuss the issue of interests

Nanjing.

"First of all, this is a must."

Marshal Yang sat under the shade of the tree in the Liaodong Houdi, holding a teacup and said seriously.

At this moment, Zhao Zhigao and Shen Shixing were sitting opposite him. The former two cabinet chiefs of the Ming Dynasty looked at him calmly.

Lady Fang next to her poured tea for her.

As for His Highness the Princess...

Come on!

Marshal Yang was walking upright and sat upright, with a clear conscience and a clean and innocent person. Are you still afraid that she would not come?

It's not a scumbag who has always abandoned him.

How can we finally abandon the chaos without beginning?

But Mrs. Fang immediately felt the threat. The incident between Yang Feng and Princess Rongchang has always been the protagonists of the jokes promoted by Hongguang Dynasty over the years. In fact, it is not just Princess Rongchang. There are many heroines in these jokes, even her mother and even the imperial concubine. Although I believe that this is fake now, I immediately understood that at least part of the reaction was true when I saw the princess' reaction. So after arriving in Nanjing, she left behind directly on the excuse of managing their Fang family's industry in Nanjing.

Of course, it may also be that I dare not go home.

Although it was not her responsibility to be occupied by Yang Feng, she could not resist, but as a famous lady, it was still very ashamed to have such a thing happened.

Then when I arrived in Nanjing, the sense of crisis became even stronger.

There are also a bunch of little yellow ducks in Liaodong Houdi!

By the way, she finally realized that she could keep her innocence along the way, not because she resisted, but because this bastard thought she was not old enough to start!

In this case, he simply broke the can and threw it away and simply moved into the Liaodong Houdi.

Anyway, she was occupied.

All were occupied, and living in the Liaodong Houdi was also an inevitable result.

No matter what, take the nest first, no matter what princess or not, can he still openly steal a man?

So now she is like the wife of the Marquis of Liaodong, and even the outside world has already agreed that she is the hostess of the Marquis of Liaodong.

"The Marquis of Liaodong, can't there be other options? After all, the landlords' land was not all taken away by force. Most of them were hardworking and accumulated hard from generation to generation. Since the Marquis of Liaodong is fair in everything, how can they be fair to them? Are they not the people of the Ming Dynasty? I remember that the Marquis of Liaodong was not entirely part of the land at first, but those under a thousand acres were not divided. This is the case with Shuntian Prefecture, why did the rules change in Jiangnan?"

Zhao Zhigao said with a smile.

If you don’t know the difference between less than a thousand acres, it is still easy to deal with as long as you prepare in advance.

After all, they are all big families, so they just divide the family quickly and then give their descendants hundreds of acres of a family, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to only divide them into dozens of shares.

In the end, it's my own home.

"no."

Yang Feng said very simply.

Shuntian Mansion is indeed not distinguishable from those under a thousand acres. When Yang Feng was not very strong at the beginning, he did this.

But that was Shuntian Mansion.

There is no shortage of land where you can open up.

Even if he didn't know how to distinguish between a thousand acres, it didn't matter to those tenants. Because the gentry didn't reduce their rent, they went out to open up the land directly. In fact, most tenants would open up the land.

Both Yongping Prefectures in Shuntian can be reclaimed. The Nanyuan alone is a large area of ​​rice fields, not to mention that the river in Tianjin has been dug up, hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland can be reclaimed along the coast of Tianjin, as well as the original land of the original imperial village and the original horse farm...

As long as you are willing to open up the land everywhere.

New land can never afford to be found, which means you don’t need to pay land taxes. Even if the yield per mu is low, it is cost-effective, not to mention that you can become truly fertile land through water conservancy construction.

But this is not suitable for Jiangnan.

The population density here can be said to be three to four times that of the two prefectures of Yongping, Shuntian...

The total number of official populations in the Ming Dynasty, which had no practical significance, these two prefectures combined was 900,000, while the number of people in Nanzhili was more than 10 million. Even if half of them were in Jiangnan, it would mean that the densely populated area from Wuhu to Shanghai had at least three or four of the two prefectures.

But the area of ​​these two pieces is similar.

The wasteland that can be reclaimed has long been reclaimed, and more residential land must be reduced. Even prosperous industry and commerce have to occupy the land. This means that if there is no complete share, the tenants will actually not be able to get rid of the landlords in the end.

It is useless for Yang Feng to restrict land rent, and some landlords are asking for help.

They used to collect rent only.

Saving food, New Year's meat, new rice, big buckets in and out, bucket noodles, delivery warehouses, etc., they have many tricks to deal with tenants. As long as the land ownership is in their hands, they can always find ways to exploit them. They cannot have any fantasies about a group of tenants who even have to pay for their daughters to marry. Because there is no wasteland nearby, tenants have to leave their hometowns even if they want to open up land, and they have to leave their hometowns and go to Fengyang. Generally speaking, few people are willing to leave their hometowns, so they will habitually endure these exploitations.

Similarly, landlords can also threaten tenants to elect them, and eventually, rural officials and militia officers in various places become landlords.

Then the grassroots organizations are also controlled by them.

At that time, the local geniuses really made a comeback.

So Yang Feng simply took the initiative and kept the landlords for farming based on the population, and all the rest were given to them.

"Mr. Jinyang, I actually don't understand your resistance to the land distribution."

Yang Feng said.

"The Lord of Liaodong asked for instructions."

Shen Shixing said quickly.

"Make more money by doing business or farming?"

Yang Feng said.

"If this is said, it is naturally a lot of money to do business."

Shen Shixing said.

"Do you make more money by opening a yarn mill or farming?"

Yang Feng said.

"Open a sponge mill."

Shen Shixing said very simply.

"Okay, starting a sponge mill and doing business make more money than farming. I take away the ones that make the least money for you, and keep or even support you to make the ones that make the more money. So why do you object? What's more, after the land is divided, the farmers are full of food and have extra money. They will buy more things and you will make more money. You can go to various places to see. After the summer grains are left, almost everyone is making new clothes, and even building new houses.

In the past, they couldn't even eat enough and couldn't buy much.

But now when they have enough food to exchange for money, they will buy all kinds of things.

Building a new house, wearing new clothes, and even marrying a bride, all the militia areas are doing this, and even affecting Susong's textile factory.

The prices of cloth are rising.

The entire militia area is asking for more cloth to make new clothes, more steel to make new farm tools, more wood to build new houses, and even they can drink tea, they can eat meat and candy, and even add a teapot to the whole family, which also makes the ceramic factories in short supply. It can be said that all merchants want to buy it, because the children are in primary schools, and even the four treasures of houses are in short supply. The gentry of Xuancheng was very aggrieved when surrendered, and now they don’t care about the grievances. They are all busy making money."

Yang Feng said.

This is an inevitable result.

The yield per mu of this land in Jiangnan is too high. Even if a family of five grows ten acres of land, it will earn forty or fifty stones a year.

Three stones are harvested in autumn, and five stones are harvested in summer.

This is the basic average per mu yield in these places in Jiangnan.

Then hand over one-tenth of the land tax, and thirty stones left to eat are enough. The remaining ten stones are still nearly ten taels of silver even at the current price of grain. If you have some extra income, you can still have more than ten taels of disposable income after eating a year.

The consumption capacity will be available.

Who doesn't want to make new clothes with money? The houses are too old and want to build new ones. The tea that they couldn't afford to drink candy and the iron farm tools that they couldn't afford can now be bought. The surge in consumption capacity has turned more than 20 million people who have completed land reform into a huge market. The sudden increase in demand has surprised all industrial and commercial workers to find that they make money in everything they do.

This is the formation of the domestic demand market.

The overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty is nothing in front of the domestic demand market. The overseas consumption capacity in this era is probably not as good as that of Nanzhili.

Who can consume Ming commerce overseas?

People at the bottom of Europe have to go to the pharmacist to buy sugar as medicine.

In the whole of Europe, with 100 million Russians, no more than one-tenth of the Ming merchants can be consumed. The remaining chaotic countries in India also have more than one-tenth of the population, and no more than one-twentieth of the Ming merchants can be consumed. Where else can be consumed?

Black slaves in Africa?

The only value of overseas trade is the introduction of silver as currency.

But the currency itself does not require silver. Zhu Yuanzhang played well with paper money. On the contrary, excessive inflow of silver is harmful.

Because this silver did not flow into the hands of the government, but all fell into the pockets of the gentry.

And it goes without saying what the government has no monetary control.

"The Marquis of Liaodong, the fields are branches and trunks, and the others are just flowers and leaves. Even if the flowers are blooming, they still grow on the branches. If you take off the branches, how can the flowers and leaves be left alone?"

Zhao Zhigao said.

"Young Yang Gong, you can clearly say that the branches are in my hands. If the flowers and leaves are withered, they will wither. If I want them to be rich in flowers and leaves, they will be rich in flowers and flowers, but isn't this what I want? Will I allow people who are out of my control? What we are discussing now is the issue of interests, so I can clearly say that as long as I am willing to be under my control, then the distribution of the land will not cause real losses to the landlords, because they all have capital and they can turn into industrialists and businessmen to make money.

If I don't want to be under my control, then this question is meaningless because I will chop off their heads.
