Chapter 979 Qian Qianyi joins the cabinet

Gao Huan stayed at Qian Qianyi's mansion for one night and was very satisfied. He summoned Qian Qianyi to see him early the next morning.

In the hall, Gao Huan held Qian Qianyi's hand stove and smiled and said, "Mu Zhai Gong is very good at enjoying life!"

Qian Qianyi had a bitter face, "If your Majesty likes, I can offer it to Your Majesty."

"Haha~" Gao Huan smiled, "Forget it, I know what Mu Zhai Gong wants."

Gao Huan paused and continued, "I came to Muzhai Gong's mansion this time, not for other things, but to discuss the land state with Muzhai Gong."

Qian Qianyi hung his head without any energy and made a listening gesture.

Gao Huan said: "This time, the big families in Changshu are very cooperative, but there are many prefectures and counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so I don't have the energy to go out one by one, so I want to enumerate the title of Muzhai as the Senate of the Council and assist me in the work of becoming a big family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

The Senate of the Council, which is the cabinet bachelor of the Ming Dynasty, was Qian Qianyi's heart and his lifelong political ideal.

"Your Majesty wants to name the old minister as the senator?" Qian Qianyi was excited and thought he was hallucinating his hearing.

Gao Huan nodded and said, "Not bad! I directly issued an order to appoint you."

Generally speaking, the Senate of the Council is recommended by all officials, and then the National Assembly will hold a meeting to promote it. Only those elected can join the Council.

However, there are also special circumstances. As the emperor, Gao Huan has the right to issue an order directly and assign a person to enter the Council of the Council. However, this way the emperor bypasses the court and issues orders directly is disliked by all officials and enters the Council of the Council of the Council of the Council is easily excluded by the bureaucratic system.

Generally speaking, Gao Huan would not issue a central decree and directly appoint a Senate of the Council. However, considering that Qian Qianyi is so sensible and his influence in the Southeast, Gao Huan thought about it over and over again and decided to issue this decree.

Qian Qianyi understood the particularity of the order, but thought that he had reached the age of retirement and retirement, and could not enter the cabinet through the order. Gao Huan's order could be said to be his only chance.

Thinking that he could not suffer too much, Qian Qianyi quickly saluted, "I thanked Your Majesty for your trust, and I decided that I must do this!"

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, "Very good! Muzhai Gong, I will not treat you badly!"

Gao Huan immediately wrote the central decree and appointed Qian Qianyi as the political discussion, ordered him to deal with the state-owned land reform in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and be responsible for persuading many Southeast farmers.

Gao Huan lived in Qian Qianyi's mansion for another three days before leaving Qian's mansion and continued to inspect Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After Qian Qianyi was appointed as a political discussion, he became enthusiastic and soon convened the large Changshu households to implement the policy of state-owned land.

For a time, the families of Changshu separated overnight. Many families that had been passed down for hundreds of years and nearly thousands of years were divided into dozens or even hundreds of households in order to retain more land.

In the past, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the central government did not have the ability to deepen its rule into the countryside. Now Qian is moving towards modernization. If the country wants to have strong mobilization and governance capabilities, state power must go deep into villages and towns.

This led the court to compete with local gentry and tribes for control of the countryside. Because these people are powerful, the court is actually at a disadvantage in the struggle with them.

What policies should Gao Huan implement and mobilize the people. As long as they are not in line with the interests of these gentry and large families, the court's policies will be implemented very well.

The reason is that these people control the land and the means of production, and the people cannot ignore them.

Now through land reform, it is not only to curb annexation and powerful people, but also to break their monopoly on means of production, allowing the court to compete with them for control of the countryside.

In Changshu County, major families were busy splitting their families in the ancestral halls, while the government sent a large number of officials to the countryside to allocate land to the people.

In order not to affect the spring plowing next year, the land collected must be used by each household as soon as possible.

At the burger drying grounds in each village, the people lined up in a long queue and received the land deeds issued by the government.

Although such land deeds cannot be bought or sold, after obtaining them, the people can have the right to use the land, and they no longer have to pay rent to the landlords. They only need to pay taxes to the court, which undoubtedly reduces their burden and stimulates the enthusiasm of farmers.

"The land belongs to my family!" The people who received the land waved the land deed excitedly.

The people who were still queuing up were talking with a smile on their faces, how many acres of land could their home be divided into.

When the people of each village were excitedly looking forward to allocating land and determining the land use rights, the county government office was a different scenery.

In the yamen, after the wealthy family split up, they handed over the land deeds that exceeded the specified amount and exchanged for a stack of silver notes, several duty-free forms, and land deeds for overseas land.

After completing the procedures, these big companies were depressed when they came out. What's more, they waved a stack of overseas land deeds directly.

"Sir Jiang, why should I do this?" a gentry couldn't help but persuade.

The gentry surnamed Jiang looked annoyed, "Hmph, Brother Song! Don't you understand? This is just a waste of money. What kind of overseas land is just a pile of waste paper!"

His words resonated with many people. Some of them had nowhere to vent their anger, and immediately followed the land deed.

For a moment, the land deeds were flying all over the sky, and everyone dispersed in great indignation.

At this time, Mr. Jiang returned home and was still angry.

"The master is back!" The wife quickly got up, "The servants have prepared the meal, I'll let them heat up!"

"What to eat?" Mr. Jiang was so angry, "I was full of anger!"

After speaking, he walked into the room, threw the door, and sat at his desk, speechless for a long time.

When Mr. Jiang thought of the more than 20,000 acres of fertile land in his family, there were only 500 acres of left, and his heart was bleeding.

Gao Huan only paid 20% of the money and owed 30% of the money, so he took away all the excess land, and the remaining 50% were exchanged for a few pieces of waste paper.

Mr. Jiang sat for a long time before gradually calming down. At this moment, he glanced at him and suddenly saw the newspaper delivered this morning.

At this time, he took it over and looked at it, and his eyes widened. One of the reports was a report on Jinshan County overseas. It mentioned that millions of fertile land in Jinshan County urgently needed to be developed. The prefect Shi Kai said that there was funds for gold mines and he was confident in developing Jinshan County.

Mr. Jiang was slightly stunned, hurried out of the study room and ran to the yamen. The land deeds scattered on the ground were no longer visible.

The next day, the exchange established by the imperial court was launched, and the big doors could sell duty-free volumes and overseas land deeds here.

The duty-free volume can directly offset commercial taxes, so the price is strong after it is launched. As for overseas land deeds, the price has been lower, but soon a mysterious merchant acquired it, stabilizing the value to a position of neither high nor low.

On the way to Suzhou, Gao Huan listened to his subordinates' reports on Changshu.

Gao Huan sat in the carriage and said to Jiang Zhie: "The price of overseas land deeds should be stable to a reasonable range. If it is lower, Guoan will buy it secretly!"

Jiang Zhi'e said in a difficult situation: "Your Majesty, although the price of overseas land deeds is already bargain, there are too many land deeds on the market. If the Guoan Department wants to stabilize the price, I am afraid there will be insufficient funds!"

Gao Huan smiled and said, "I will release some overseas news every once in a while. When the land deed price rises, you will sell some in exchange for cash. When the price is low, you will buy it back! This way, the price will be stabilized! The land deed price is related to the implementation of the state-owned land. It cannot turn it into waste paper, nor can it make people feel that I am making a fuss! Do you understand?"

Jiang Zhi'e could see through it at a glance, "I understand! Buy low and sell high!"

Gao Huan raised his eyebrows and praised Jiang Zhie's talent, "Buy low and sell high, this word is used accurately!"
