Chapter 125 A world where only big landowners are injured is about to be achieved!
Chapter 125 A world where only the big landowners are injured is about to be reached!
When he heard that there were ten thousand acres of fertile land with three crops a year, Wen Renti, the first assistant, who had been thinking about how to use the drag-word technique to deal with the Supreme Emperor, felt that his heart seemed to skip a beat.
I think the Wen family is also a big family in Jiangbei. After Wen Tiren became the chief minister, the family's farmland exceeded 100,000 acres. This was under the premise that the Wen family maintained their dignity and did not put on an ugly appearance.
Wen Renti has always been proud of this, and he knows that he will be the pride of the Wen family even hundreds of years from now!
But now, there are ten million acres of fertile land...
No other race can understand the persistence of flower growers for their land, just as no other race can understand why later generations of Chinese people have to hoard huge amounts of food in major warehouses in the country.
"General Jia, are you telling the truth? Ten million acres of fertile land? Three crops a year? Are you serious?"
Liu Yiping excitedly asked repeatedly. Since ancient times, there have been only a few old-fashioned officials who have truly served and managed the household department.
If there are really visible benefits, people like Liu Yiping rush harder than anyone else. For example, this time Jia Lian got 40 million taels of silver from Jiangnan, and more than 80% of it fell into the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Just like this, even if
He dared to try to protect Ichigo Jia Lian in front of Emperor Baode!
Although Jia Lian doesn't need...
Similarly, if one of the two emperors had the idea to use the Ministry's money to build a garden or something, Liu Yiping would immediately pick up his hat and ask the emperor to hire someone else!
In short, this is the miser of the Daqing Empire! Scholars call him the most unlike a great Confucian!
The most important thing is that Liu Yiping was never motivated by his own personal interests. He was completely motivated by the public interest. Even the emperor sometimes had to stay away from such a person.
"Master Liu, don't be excited. The land in Luzon is there and you can't escape. There is no need for me to lie, but that land has little to do with the Ministry of Revenue."
"How come it doesn't matter much? We don't need military pay or ordnance to send troops next year? Don't we need money from the Ministry of Revenue to all these things? After the land is conquered, my Ministry of Revenue will ask for half of it!"
???
Jia Lian almost laughed angrily at the little old man who seemed to have a good impression just now, but... I am not afraid that you are greedy, I am afraid that you have no desires and no demands!
"Mr. Liu, you and I have nothing to say about this. Our Jia family doesn't want this Luzon Island. If the Jia family really wants that land, there are only 20,000 Castilian people who can't stop me."
The personal guards charged forward!
But I would suggest that you don’t think about it. But as for the harvest in the fields, you can talk to the entrusted owner. You might as well use 30% of all the grain produced in the past ten years to pay for the military supplies..."
Liu Yiping's eyes lit up and he felt that this idea was perfect, but 30% was a bit too little. Nowadays, the landlords in his hometown charge 50% of the rent, and only for ten years...
Liu Yiping was about to say something to Jia Lian, but at this moment the Supreme Emperor waved to Jia Lian.
Seeing this, Jia Lian took a few steps forward. Emperor Baode, Wen Renti, and Liu Yiping also followed suit. At this time, they finally saw the chart that the Supreme Emperor was staring at.
The Supreme Emperor pointed to Jia (Ao)zhou, which was very conspicuous in the sea map, and said to Jia Lian:
"This is the fiefdom that you kid has been eyeing? It's much bigger than the Central Plains. You're putting my grandson so far away and monopolizing such a large territory by yourself. This is really a big deal!"
"Hey! Grandpa, why can't you tell me clearly? Didn't I tell you just now? If these filial sons and grandsons of your family put them too close, believe it or not, when they are strong and strong in a hundred years, they will dare to think about it.
I want to cross the strait to visit my hometown!
If you don't leave them far away, future generations will have to fight against each other sooner or later. Besides, look at the land from Luzon down to Jiazhou. All the land, large and small, is too scattered and narrow. How can it be worthy of heaven?
As for the status of the sub-ancestral hall, it would be appropriate for us Daqing princes and uncles to share one or two pieces for each family!"
"Distribute it to them? It's not impossible. After all, they have to contribute to occupy these territories. However, the way you just told Liu Qing to collect taxes from those fiefdoms to repay the military resources is a good idea. I think it will be 30%.
Collect it and keep it for eternity!"
Good guy! This man's heart is even darker. Does this mean that from now on, 30% of the income from the fiefdoms of those princes and uncles will be permanently collected and belong to you?
However, the Supreme Emperor did not mention Jia Lian's Jiazhou and the Americas that were further promised to Prince Yizhong and those clan princes, so it doesn't matter!
"Father, Emperor Shengming, if this is the case, why not call the cabinet ministers and all the ministers of the country to discuss it?"
Obviously, Emperor Baode also strongly agrees with this proposal to extract 30% of the tax!
…
…
…
Since the Daqing Dynasty drove the Houjin Tatars out of Shanhaiguan at the beginning of the founding of the country, and drove them to the shores of Lake Baikal, and wiped out most of their tribes, there has been no major war.
At most, less than 100,000 troops were used in Annan's campaigns, and each time it was because after occupying the area, the garrison cost too much and the troops could not make ends meet, so they had to withdraw in the end.
Without wars, the status of the nobles who started out as military would naturally become worse than before. If it were not for the existence of extraordinary power in this world, and the martial arts system was much more adaptable and popular than the Confucian system, I am afraid that the power of the nobles would still be there.
to be significantly weakened.
Now I suddenly heard that the two emperors wanted to fight again, and the nobles immediately grinned with joy. They also heard that the land they captured would be given to them. In the future, the court would only need 30% of the output of these fiefs?
Is there such a good thing waiting for heaven?
The heads of the noble family who had just been summoned to the main hall of Longshou Palace were suddenly surprised and even a little unbelievable.
It wasn't until they knew that the fiefdom of themselves and others would be overseas in Nanyang, the large island south of Luzon, that these people calmed down again.
It turns out to be such a wild and wild land overseas!
What? Luzon alone has more than 10 million acres of prime farmland with three crops a year?
Your Majesty, please be careful!
…
The five ministers of the cabinet and the heads of the top noble families of the Daqing Dynasty who still control part of the military power stayed in the palace until late at night before leaving the palace in excitement.
Jia Lian, the initiator of the overseas war proposal, was naturally surrounded by the crowd. Many nobles invited him to have dinners and banquets, but they were all declined by Jia Lian.
"Uncles, please don't be surprised. My nephew just returned to Beijing yesterday, and things are really complicated at home. Tomorrow, my nephew will hold a banquet in the house, and I will invite you uncles to have a drink. You can also take a look at your respective family resources tonight.
My nephew’s suggestion is that after next spring, we can send one or two of our sons to go to various places to practice with the navy.”
Just kidding, Qin Keqing was tripped up by Xiao Daiyu last night. Today, Lin Daiyu and Lin Yong will probably have to be left in Rongqing Hall by the old lady. Isn’t my beauty Keqing so sweet? How can I have free time to accompany them?
You rough old men.
Of course, all the princes and nobles refused, but Jia Lian refused again and again. They were worried that they would have to rely on the Jia family in the future and did not dare to persuade them, so they gave up.
Returning to Rongguo Mansion, Qin Keqing was already waiting in the courtyard early this morning. When the old lady saw Lin Daiyu and Lin Yong this morning, she felt distressed and kept complaining about her darlings. She only said that the big-faced baby suddenly suffered from hysteria yesterday.
That's why they somewhat ignored their siblings.
The old lady immediately freed up the space in the Bisha cupboard for Daiyu, while Lin Yong slept on the bed outside the Bisha cupboard that originally belonged to Big Face Baby. Big Face Baby was moved to the warmth pavilion next to the old lady on the other side.
middle.
Jia Lian didn't have any objections after hearing this. This was already a sign of the old lady's closeness and respect. The place where Big Face Baby lived before was really not that shabby. It could almost be said that it belonged to the old lady of Rongqingtang.
The best place in the five-bay main house!
Seeing that Jia Lian did not ask any more questions, and was obviously quite satisfied with the old lady's arrangement, Qin Keqing also breathed a sigh of relief. As the inheritor of the Duke's Palace, Jia Lian's identity is the most important one.
In addition, Jia Lian had a strong personality since he was a child. Before his death, the old man seemed to have left all the most important family assets in his hands, including the old lady, the pardon master, and the two serious elders of Zheng Er. They had always been in front of him.
Pleasant and cheerful.
This time something happened to Jia Min, the Rongguo Mansion suddenly exploded. Twelve innate masters went to the south of the Yangtze River and massacred a total of 11 major salt merchants in Yangzhou and Hangzhou. It was not only other families who were shocked, but also the own people in the Rongguo Mansion.
How could Jia Lian have such amazing strength under his command?
Although Jia Lian didn't say anything in Rongqing Hall yesterday, he just took Lin Daiyu and Lin Yong back to his yard, but the old lady couldn't pretend that nothing happened. These are the reasons why the Lin family siblings are so favorably treated by the old lady today.
One of the reasons.
Of course, it is impossible to say that the old lady Shi does not really feel sorry for the two grandsons left behind by her beloved youngest daughter. However, there is still some utilitarianism mixed in...
Many thoughts flashed through Qin Keqing's heart. She looked at Jia Lian softly with water-like eyes, and her words could not help but contain a hint of charm.
"My husband has been busy in the palace all day today. He must be tired. I have asked Ruizhu to prepare hot water. Now I will serve you to take a bath to relieve your fatigue..."
"That's a good relationship, but the bathtub at home is still too small. I'll ask my subordinates to go to the vicinity of Shenjing City tomorrow to find out if there are any hot springs. If there are, let's buy the land and build a hot spring pool.
Go and enjoy the taste of 'bathing in the Huaqing Pool in the cold spring, and the hot spring water washing away the fat.'"
When Qin Keqing heard this, she spat at him shyly, "This bad guy only thinks about these things..."
But seeing Jia Lian get up and walk to the bathroom, Qin Keqing followed him into the bathroom obediently, although her cheeks were red.
It has been two months since Jia Lian went to Jiangnan. Qin Keqing and Jia Lian have only been married for half a year. In addition, the couple are extremely satisfied with each other's appearance and figure. It is at a time when they are inseparable. How can they be together?
In no mood.
As the saying goes, a breakup is better than a wedding. That night, the two of them first spilled water all over the floor in the bathroom, and then had another fight after returning to the bedroom. It was just a pity for Ruizhu, Zhuer, and Bier who were responsible for cleaning up the scene.
Jia Lian has been in the Third Realm of God Refining for many years. After many years of Jia's Tai Chi practice, his body has already become as good as that of a first-level peak warrior who has mastered physical training. How can Qin Keqing, who has never practiced before, be his opponent? After three or four rounds, he has already
I don't even have the strength to move my fingers.
In the end, it was only after Zhiyu and Baozhu tried their best to talk that Jia Lian finally broke out. After being scrubbed by Zhiyu and the other girls, he hugged Qin Keqing's fragrant body and fell asleep.
…
The next morning, Jia Lian opened his eyes and felt something astringent in his nose, so he couldn't help but rub it.
No wonder southerners always think that Shenjing City is a bitterly cold place and it is indeed a bit dry. He gently moved Ke Qing away from him, who was wrapped around him like an octopus, and put him into bed. He was really tortured last night.
Already...
Jia Lian got up and went out, washed up under Zhiyu's service, and continued the day's morning exercises as usual.
Half an hour later, Jia She came and Jia Lian came here to enjoy breakfast with him.
Last night he promised to entertain the heads of the Xungui family, but Jia Lian himself was impatient to argue with these people. Of course, Jia She came forward at this time. Since the Jia family exposed the existence of more than a dozen innate masters, She
The big boss's confinement became more and more in name only.
Nowadays, although Jia She still never goes out, he no longer deliberately avoids people who come to visit him, but he still needs to keep a low profile. Isn't it a good time for people to make the best use of them?
Jia She listened excitedly and dazedly to what Jia Lian said in front of him. The surprises this son gave him were really bigger than the last. Although he realized very early that giving birth to Jia Lian might be the greatest achievement in his life, this surprise is still there today.
What a surprise!
Daqing is about to launch an overseas expedition. The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor will enfeoff the Yizhong County Prince and the restless princes of the clan, and some of the land in Nanyang will be awarded to the great noble families in the form of enfeoffments. The court can also use
Thirty percent of the tax revenue from all noble fiefdoms is used to support their military supplies!
Jia She immediately promised to help Jia Lian deal with the nobles, but Jia Lian was still doubtful about the reliability of the pardon master. But who made Jia Lian's men really lack talents at this level?
For this whole morning, Jia Lian has been discussing the plan to go to sea with Jia She in detail. Who can benefit, who can be harmed, who can be drawn over, and who can simply be eliminated secretly.
!
If such a thing can be accomplished, it will be of great benefit to the Jia family, the court, the nobles, and even most civil servants. After all, civil servants are also needed to govern the fiefdom.
It's just that it's not so friendly to the big landowners. Their interests will definitely be greatly damaged. After all, overseas development will definitely require a large number of people, and a large loss of population will cause the people who farm the land for them to be the same.
A significant reduction!
As for the population that is already saturated relative to the land, what does that have to do with our local landlords? When there are more people, you idiots will compete. There will always be people who raise the rent and rush to rent us.
Landlord's fields!
But if there are fewer people, wouldn’t the landlords have to lower the rent to recruit enough people to farm the land? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss? This is bad government! How can this be done?
Try two-in-one, to be honest, two updates a day is the most comfortable...
I don’t understand why this chapter was blocked three times?
