According to the plan, the first operation was on the Lu family's large amount of land, but Wang Junlin knew that this matter was by no means a simple matter of dealing with the Lu family, because although the Lu family fell, he could take care of it however he wanted, but this Lu family represented
As for the class of nobles and big landowners, the prefect could turn the Lu family's farmland into official land and give it to the untouchables to farm. How could other big and small landowners and nobles not be worried?
"This..." Huang Zhixuan hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
"Don't have any scruples. If you have any ideas, you can speak freely." Wang Junlin saw that Huang Zhixuan was scrupulous and asked him to speak out.
"To be honest, sir, I think Du Changshi's move is a good thing, but Du Changshi acted too hastily." Huang Zhixuan sighed in his heart and said bravely.
"It's a good thing that you can say that, it means you have good knowledge." Wang Junlin laughed twice and waved for everyone else to leave.
Du Ruhui is actually also a nobleman. Although his family is in decline, he still has hundreds of acres of fertile land in his hometown, which is managed by his family. However, he strongly advocates that a large amount of the Lu family's land be turned into official land. This is a kind of ambition for the family, the country, and the world.
, and only such people can become famous figures of a generation.
It was Wang Junlin's subordinates, such as Liu Ziming, Lian Zhongtao, Xiang Nan and others, who all came from poor families. They believed that all the land that had been robbed under the name of the Lu family should be returned to the government. This is actually very understandable and natural, because
This is related to their origin.
In other words, whether people agree or disagree with something is inseparable from their own position. Huang Zhixuan's family is a noble from Fangcheng County and has considerable influence. Wang Junlin heard that there is good land in his family.
Tens of thousands of acres, isn't he worried that following the Lu family's precedent, his family's farmland will one day be turned into official farmland by the prefect?
Therefore, it is not easy for Huang Zhixuan to say that Du Ruhui's proposal to turn most of the Lu family's farmland into official land is a good thing. Even if he is trying to cater to the prefect, being able to say this is worthy of recognition.
But other nobles and officials may not have this understanding, or such a high level of consciousness. They even undoubtedly do not think this is a good thing, and they do not think it is a good thing.
For them, it is a bad thing that cannot get any worse.
After the news of Du Ruhui's intention to take over the Lu family's property as official land was broadcast, the seemingly peaceful Fanyang County actually had some undercurrents surging underneath. However, with the great god Wang Junlin sitting in charge, no one dared to surface.
Because the thirteen noble families in the three counties in the south are close to the prefect, many nobles in Fanyang County dare not approach the prefect and Du Ruhui for information. In fact, some nobles have been coming to Huang Zhixuan these days to inquire about information.
Of course Wang Junlin knew that this cover was difficult to remove. He was the most powerful prefect in the world. Otherwise, other prefects would not dare to mention this. This was because he wanted to challenge the entire aristocracy and local class.
Behavior!
The agricultural land in Fanyang County is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. It has nothing to do with whether the land is fertile or barren, or paddy fields or dry fields. The main difference is the degree of disaster caused by waterlogging or drought.
In Fanyang County, several counties in the north sometimes experience droughts, water shortages, and unfavorable irrigation, while counties in the south such as Fangcheng County are prone to floods. As long as there is no shortage of water, or fields that are conducive to drainage and have normal fertilizer accumulation,
The fields are all cultivated, and the mature fields can even achieve high yields of four or five tons of grain. The biggest problem is waterlogging.
Wang Junlin had long ago asked Shen Guoer to cooperate with Du Ruhui to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire county. Fanyang County's official grain land totaled more than 2.8 million acres, but in fact, Fanyang County's farmland amounted to more than 10 million acres. Among them, the Lu family occupies nearly 6 million acres of farmland, and the Lu family is a noble with a title and does not have to pay taxes. Other nobles, big and small, do not have to pay taxes or evade taxes, and there are more than 4 million under-reported or concealed reports. mu.
Du Ruhui made a calculation, not to mention taking the Lu family's land as official land, even if he checked out all the fertile land that was concealed by landowners and nobles without titles in Fanyang County, Fanyang County's official grain fields could at least be turned over. It is not particularly surprising that the land has doubled to five or six million acres, or even nearly seven million acres.
In short, after Shen Guoer's secret investigation and Du Ruhui's detailed calculations, it was discovered that Fanyang County's grain production capacity potential and tax potential could be greatly explored. This is why Wang Junlin dared to report to Yang Guang to guarantee such high grain taxes and taxes.
One of the main reasons.
Moreover, in order to increase the county's grain production, Wang Junlin will definitely develop water conservancy projects in Fanyang County in the future. After all, during the slack seasons of autumn and winter, a large number of manpower is idle, and even without wages, as long as one or two meals are provided, a large number of people can be organized man builds ditch.
But at this time, the fields were occupied or even concealed by the powerful nobles and big landowners. Even if Wang Junlin carried out water conservancy projects and promoted a bumper agricultural harvest in Fanyang County, the actual benefits would be taken by the powerful nobles and big landowners. He could not really promote Fan Yang. The substantial increase in county taxes will not allow Wang Junlin to provide enough support for his private hegemony after the food and taxes in Fanyang County are satisfied and handed over to the court.
Therefore, although Wang Junlin now needs to rely on the power of the local nobles to govern and stabilize Fanyang County, at the same time he has to do some things to find ways to suppress the nobles, especially to check out the hidden fields and even as many as possible. The land was taken over as official property.
In fact, Wang Junlin is not afraid at all that these nobles will jump out and cause trouble. In fact, wherever the Lu family's example is placed, the tigers will be beaten half to death, and other little rabbits will dare to jump away. But Wang Junlin has no one in his hands now. He plans The Fanyang Academy in China has just begun, and it will take a year at the earliest to train talents to replace the current county and eight county officials. This forced Wang Junlin to adopt gentle methods to achieve this goal.
Those nobles and big landowners who were worried that the prefect would ask them to hand over their lands after following Lu's precedent, although people were panicking during this period, no one dared to take any action under the evil reputation of the prefect.
Everyone understands the principle of "shooting the first bird". After the behemoth Lu family, who was as big as the local emperor of Fanyang County, was taken care of by the prefect, others did not dare to confront Wang Junlin head-on.
After everyone else had gone down, and only he and Huang Zhixuan were left, Wang Junlin continued: "Actually, when I come to Fangcheng County this time, on the one hand, I want to urge your county to solve the flood problem for many years at once this year. On the other hand, we will I want to set up a pilot project in your Fangcheng County."
