After Jiuzheng left, Deputy Director Ding carefully looked at the iron letter written by the Prince of England. He always felt that this thing was like a piece of paper for wiping your ass. What difference did it make whether it was written or not?
Ninety percent of the time, I want to be loyal to my aunt, so it doesn't matter whether I write an ironclad letter or not.
Ninety percent of the time I will be disloyal to my aunt, so this ironclad letter will be meaningless if it is not written.
I always feel like adults take off their pants and fart.
"You don't understand. Everything must be scientific and well-founded."
Jia Liu pointed out that 90% of this ironclad document is the legal document that will fully take over the property and flag fields of the Prince of England in the future.
No matter whether you are 90% loyal to him or not, it cannot change this established fact.
If it is disloyal, it will definitely be confiscated.
Loyalty is even more important.
After hearing this, Deputy Director Ding sighed deeply for Jiucheng. This old boy wants to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger in front of adults, but there is no way.
If an old boy is smart, he can probably become a rich man.
If he is ignorant, he is just like his ancestor Azig.
"Next."
Jia Liu asked Deputy Director Ding to hand over the 60,000 taels of silver notes to the counter for safekeeping before meeting the next customer.
It's Andershan, a descendant of Manggurtai who came the day before yesterday.
After returning home, Andershan figured out that he would rather go bankrupt and be in debt to run for the hat king.
The reason is simple. No matter how much money he earns, he is only a marginal person in the clan. It is only a matter of words for the powerful clan to steal his property.
But if he becomes the Hat King, no one will dare to take advantage of his vast wealth. At the same time, he can use his status as the Hat King to make the industry bigger and stronger, and rehabilitate his ancestors. This kind of thing is not only a once-in-a-lifetime event, but also
It's a good thing that I can't even think of.
How many times can a person fight in his life?
Stud!
Andershan, who decided to take the gamble, visited all the relatives of his sect that he could contact in the past two days, and managed to collect 600,000 taels together with his family property.
According to the development of the situation, this number will definitely not guarantee his election. Andershan can only collect so much.
I came here mainly to try my luck, just in case the prince-in-law likes him and agrees to a deal of 600,000 taels.
How can you know some things without touching them?
When Emperor Taizu raised his troops with thirteen pieces of armor, he must have had the idea of giving it a try.
As a result, it turns out that the Ming Dynasty was a paper tiger.
However, as a businessman, Andershan must have some knowledge of the surrounding areas, especially the activities in Zhili, the core of Gyeonggi Province, so he added insurance for himself and said: "I heard that my brother-in-law is going to engage in maritime trade in Tianjin.
Since ancient times, only business has created a market, so I plan to contact businessmen inside and outside China to go to Tianjin to invest and help my concubine sing the great drama of trade."
After hearing this, Jia Liu couldn't help but take a serious look at Andershan. There were not a few people in the clan who were quick-witted, and that was the case in Jiuzheng Naboshahu, but it was rare to have a quick-thinking mind and be able to predict the spring water.
Undoubtedly, Andershan, like Lao Fu, accurately grasped Lord Jia Jia's weaknesses.
This young Fengjiang was in urgent need of attracting investment and launching the Beiyang trade plan.
"If you can get the job done, I can give you one hundred thousand taels."
Jia Liu was short on time and had a heavy task, so he directly gave Andershan a 10% discount.
After hearing this, Andershan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his research on the young governor in front of him was not in vain.
So he gave a second suggestion while the iron was hot, that is, once he was elected as the hat queen, he would immediately write to the court to request permission to buy and sell flag fields, and the buyers would no longer be limited to banner people.
This suggestion made Jia Liu not look at Andershan with admiration, but was very moved.
O wise man!
He couldn't help but lean forward: "Tell me carefully."
Seeing that the prince-in-law became more energetic, Andershan hurriedly said that in the past, the imperial court had prohibited the sale of flag fields, but allowed bannermen belonging to the same banner to trade flag fields with each other.
However, because buyers of flag fields are limited to bannermen, the price of flag fields has always been low.
Those who can afford to buy flag fields in Qili must be powerful people. These people are not buying flag fields so much as acquiring them at a low price and annexing land in another form.
As a result, the price of flag fields has been low, and sellers have suffered great losses.
Some sellers use the method of pawning or renting to trade the flag fields under their names, but it is not cost-effective to trade directly.
Therefore, if the imperial court completely liberalized the trade of flag fields and allowed Han people to purchase flag fields, it would not only skyrocket the price of flag fields and bring great benefits to sellers, but also turn flag fields that did not pay taxes into civilian fields that could pay taxes for the country.
This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, and it is also a great event that is beneficial to Jia Fang.
Jia Liu's heart was pounding after hearing this, but his face remained stable, and he said calmly: "Your proposal sounds good, but what does this matter have to do with me?"
Andershan hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "I heard that the emperor's consort tried to allocate flag fields to landless Han people in Yongping. Therefore, if the court lets the flag field trade go, wouldn't the emperor's consort be able to acquire a large amount of flag fields?"
"You are quite well-informed,"
Jia Liu chuckled softly, this matter has not actually started yet, but it is true that Shuan Zhu is measuring flag fields in Yongping.
Andershan was able to figure out from the measurement of the flag field that the Yongping Mansion would make a big move. No matter how you look at it, he is a very smart guy.
Doing things with smart people saves you a lot of twists and turns.
"Flag fields are the ancestral property of the Eight Banners. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, we enclosed tens of millions of acres of land, so that two-thirds of the fertile land in our Zhili territory was flag fields. The imperial court did this just to give the Eight Banners soldiers a piece of property to settle down, which can be passed down to future generations.
If trading is allowed, some people will definitely say that this undermines the foundation of our Eight Banners."
Andershan's suggestion touched Jia Liu's heart, but he felt that it was impossible for the imperial flag to open the flag field business, and the rich man was not stupid. Could he see that this was a matter of breaking the roots of the Eight Banners?
Therefore, his prepared step was to first exchange land to solve part of the land problem.
The land of the bannermen was then obtained through "contracting" and then "subcontracted" to the landless Han people.
That is to say, the land ownership is still in the hands of the banner people, but the disposal power belongs to the Zhili Governor's Yamen, and the management rights are in the hands of the landless Han people.
Landless Han people can be allocated land, but they cannot privately own it or buy or sell it.
To put it bluntly, it is a replica of collective ownership of land.
In this process, Jia Liu also needed to withdraw part of the funds obtained from industry and trade to subsidize the landless Han people, so as to maintain this model.
This model is relatively unradical. If it is operated properly, it will not arouse the alertness of the court, nor will it make the banner people wary. But if the court directly lets the flag field trade be carried out as Andershan said, then a large number of flag fields will definitely be bought by Han buyers.
Therefore, the publicly owned flag fields will become private fields of the Han people. Although taxes can be raised, as time goes by, a large number of landless banner people will inevitably be caused.
This shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Jia Liu did not think that the Qing government would fully liberalize the situation.
Andershan said that if other people or Han officials submitted a letter, it would probably not be possible, but if one or more hat kings submitted a letter, it might not be possible.
"The bannermen have long since lost their ancestral spirit, and they don't know what hard work is. They may live and die drunkenly on the merits of their ancestors, or they may lose all their property by eating, drinking, and gambling. After a few months, everything is gone, and they are still the same.
.If we don’t change and make the banner people self-reliant, we, the Qing Dynasty, will one day lose the Han people. The Banner incident will cause long-term pain rather than short-term pain.”
Andershan had the ambition of a strong man to cut off his arms, and actually said that only by completely stripping the bannermen of their hardcore crops could the bannermen truly become human beings.
If you have the ability to support yourself, you will always be able to survive no matter what the situation is in the future.
"No, there's something wrong with you."
Jia Liu was in a daze. Why did Andershan look like a traitor? If you give him some guidelines, there is no chance that this guy can revolutionize the Qing Dynasty.
