However, Su You also set many constraints for them.

The powerful people who participated in the land purchase must register with the Transportation Department for the people they hire in the future, and the annual rent cannot exceed two and a half cents.

Likewise, constraints are imposed by both parties. There is a prerequisite for such low interest rates, which is that employees must not default on payments or resist taxes or rent at will, otherwise the government has the responsibility to intervene.

This is a tradition in the Song Dynasty. Generally, landowners can only receive two years of rent in three years. Su You's move is actually a bit haphazard, changing the soup without changing the medicine. Everyone understands that.

Express acceptance.

But what the powerful people didn't know was that the medicine had been changed.

The Taihu Lake Water Conservancy Project will ensure that the cultivated land in the lake area will not be affected by droughts and floods in the future, so this rent reduction clause is actually extremely beneficial to tenants.

There is also a hidden trump card lurking inside, that is, every country will encounter a situation where land resources are becoming increasingly scarce and there are more and more idle labor.

But Su You knew that this was actually an illusion. As long as the Xixia and Liao kingdoms were conquered, and when maritime transportation developed, the Song people would discover that there was land in the world that the flower-growing people could not finish cultivating.

This clause clearly defines the relationship between tenants and powerful people as a contractual employment relationship. It currently seems to be beneficial to powerful people, because they can terminate the contract at any time, which is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the tenants in their hands.

However, when the great changes came, and when the Song Dynasty finally encountered a situation where land was more than what was needed, the landless tenants could choose to leave immediately. In today's terms, Hao Qiang actually completely gave up the constraints on them.

force.

This is a bit like the age of the dinosaurs. All creatures are evolving towards bigger and stronger. They have never thought that when the sky changes, they will become extinct because of their huge size. On the contrary, those with smaller bodies,

Consume less food, become better at avoiding species, and eventually become the masters of the earth.

So on the surface, it seems that this is a feast for the powerful. One-third of the new land, nearly 50,000 hectares of fertile land, was divided up from the hands of the government.

Of course, this also greatly reduced the pressure on Suyou, not only politically but also economically.

The development plan for the remaining 130,000 hectares of land now is five years, and it is not just a waste of money as Zhang Dun estimated.

There are too many places where money needs to be spent on the Liangzhe Road, and agriculture accounts for at most one-third.

Most of the rest was spent on industry and commerce.

So Su You was not as rich as Zhang Dun imagined.

This is a process in which the financial situation gradually improves, the economic scale gradually expands, various industries gradually become more abundant, and people's income gradually increases.

Also, the process of slow release of inflation.

If we really do what Zhang Dun thinks, not only will there be no gangsters on the two Zhejiang Roads, but we may have to go back twenty years, or jump directly to the kind of power that occupied thousands of hectares of land at the end of the feudal empire, leaving the poor with no foundation.

into the situation.

In November, Su You once again visited Daishan Mountain in Changguo and held a grand and solemn event of begging for wind and offering sacrifices to the sea.

"...the one who relies on it for public and private purposes is a ship. The one who makes the ship arrive at the right time and at the wrong time is the wind. And the one who can make the wind follow the law without being frightened is the god. Therefore, it is a state-owned ceremony to protect the land.

My ministers, I will pray again when I am one year old."

The Shibo Department has two sacrifices a year, one in April, to worship the south wind, with the purpose of "praying for ships"; and one in November, to worship the north wind, with the purpose of "sending ships".

Two Hangzhou-type ships with a material of 5,000 tons, four Kuizhou-type ships with a material of 3,000 tons, and ten Meishan-type ships with a material of 1,000 tons. A total of sixteen fleets of the most advanced schooner wooden ships in the world, with a total displacement of 30,000

Two thousand materials, total cargo capacity is 2,400 tons!

This behemoth spent a huge amount of private manpower, material resources and funds in the Song Dynasty, and plundered a large number of copper coins, gold and silver coins, silk, tea, porcelain from official and private inventories on Liangzhe Road, Jinghu North and South Road, and Chuanxia 4th Road...

Dong Fei's luck was always so unbelievable. He caught up with the last opportunity to set off. The fleet also contained 5,000 pieces of exquisite glassware that he had obtained from the inner treasury for transporting grain to Hebei.

The high-level commanders of the fleet include Zhang San, Qian Kejiu, Shao Bowen, Erpu, Pu Li...as well as the elites of the Liangzhe Road Shipping Company and the accounting professionals of Sitong Company.

The sailors of the fleet are mainly from Changguo. Therefore, Suyou brought all the fleet over for this sea sacrifice. Firstly, it was to conduct overall cooperative seaworthiness training in the inner sea of ​​Zhoushan. Secondly, it was to let the elders of Changguo inspect it.

The abilities of my own children should encourage them.

Maritime merchants were all big businessmen, so the sacrificial activities were grand and lively.

The earliest sea god was the Dragon King, and the earliest wind god was "Fei Lian" and "Feng Bo". Nowadays, with the prosperity of maritime affairs, there are more and more gods, and there are more than ten gods in total.

In addition to true gods, the ships themselves were also endowed with divinity by the people who made their fortune by shipping.

For example, the large shaft at the bottom of the schooner is called the "keel"; the high bow is called the "dragon head"; the anchor holes on both sides of the dragon head are called "dragon eyes"; the mast is called "dragon eyes" from the main to the auxiliary.

He was called the "Great General", the "Second General", and finally the "Seventh General".

Su You is getting lazier and lazier now, and has a lot of gunmen at his disposal. Therefore, he does not need to personally write the articles for sacrifices. Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi will write them for him.

Now this child is on the altar, wearing the purple robe of the second-grade Shaobao, pretending to read someone else's article: "...the spirit is so powerful that the waves are clear, and the boats are safe. The sails are sailing with the wind, and they are traveling thousands of miles a day.

It is the great wish of the officials and the people to arrive without any hindrance. I would like to bow my head in greeting."

Then he burned the notice in the big silver furnace, drained the wine to offer sacrifices, and led all the officials and people in Changguo County from Long Jicai to Wang Dejia to prostrate themselves in prayer, hoping that the trip would go well and that their children would return safely.

After the sacrifice, there was a farewell banquet. The elders took out the best food from their families and held a long street banquet on the main street of Changguo, allowing their children to eat hometown dishes and drink a sip of hometown wine.

After several months of training, the children have acquired some basic sense of cooperation and military temperament. The elders looked at the heroic children who were eager to make achievements, smiled and patted their shoulders to encourage them, turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes.

No matter how much unforgettable family love and tears there are, the north wind finally comes.

Su You and Zhang San were holding wine glasses and looking at the huge ships in the bay, they couldn't help but sigh.

These sixteen large-scale ships are the highest technological, military, and economic achievements accumulated by Su You, who led the people of the Song Dynasty through twenty years of hard exploration and ragged creation, and step by step to today.

Every plank, every sail, every rope, every command is the result of the sweat, wisdom and hard work of countless people.

Just the bristle brushes used for painting decks have gone through several generations of modifications. Those bristle are all the benefits brought about by the maturity of castration breeding technology and the huge number of livestock slaughtered.

The lubricants and butter used to maintain guns and lubricate iron parts are inorganic oils obtained from the petroleum and coal industry, as well as the highest quality animal oil and whale oil that can be obtained in the Song Dynasty today.

The two of them looked at the tears in each other's eyes and couldn't help but laugh. Zhang San wiped his eyes to cover up: "Young Master, this article called Feng is very powerful. Damn it, the wind is getting stronger and stronger."

Su You also laughed: "The Japanese are Xu Fu's old race from the east. It's okay, Sister-in-law Ping. If you get some blond girls back, be careful that Hachigong will smash your ass!"

Zhang San laughed loudly: "The young master will always look for one person when he is brought out. A man's ambitions are all over the world, and he can only find a confident man in a woman. What else do you call a man?"

Su You sighed: "This should really be said to the prince's consort."

After saying that, he turned to Shao Bowen and said: "When the boat passes Mariuka and finds a good observation point to the west, you can come back quickly. Don't forget to promise the Heijia boy to catch ghosts for others. By the way, the Heijia boy has been doing it again recently.

What?".

Shao Bowen looked at the Red Song flag high on the ship's mast on the sea and laughed loudly: "He is also busy designing the family crest, but he is still confused about whether it is better to use a flying-feather butterfly or a peach."
