Chapter 616: Cause of the problem

"So, there is a grudge between the two sides represented by the two classes of Luo'an Academy?!"

Sheng Yuan heard the man-made movement in this matter.

Hearing this, Sheng Xin smiled but did not answer, and just continued to tell them: "The people ignored the hints of the wealthy gentry from the aristocratic families who asked them to bring their fields to seek refuge, and the dynasty's strict code targeted the aristocratic families, so the wealthy gentry from the aristocratic families will soon find out. , their best option is to cooperate with the government.”

"Is this the initiative?" An Yu scratched his head.

Sheng Xin glanced at him: "This is to make the atmosphere of cooperation more harmonious."

Anyu looked at Sheng Yuan half-understanding, and when he saw Sister Yuan nodding there, he had no choice but to nod accordingly, assuming that he also understood.

Sister Yuan understood it, which probably meant that he understood it too!

Sheng Xin didn't care whether he understood or not. These two young men were just listening, as long as his little sister really understood.

"Cooperation needs to be beneficial to both parties, or even to many parties. As a partner in this matter, the local officials need to ensure that their official positions are stable, the people need to ensure that they have good land in their hands, and the wealthy gentry of the aristocratic families want to make a profit. Only Only by meeting the needs of these three parties at the same time can cooperation be achieved and implementation be continued steadily.”

Seeing that her sister understood, Sheng Xin could not help but speed up the explanation: "Of course, these are the basis for cooperation. The local officials are mainly responsible for acquiescing to the aristocratic families and the people to establish a certain cooperative relationship in the fields while ensuring that their own interests are not damaged. Well, That’s all. You don’t need to get too involved in the specific implementation. Just know it.”

"My brother said so. Could it be that the situation is different in every place?"

Sheng Xin nodded: "How about adapting measures to local conditions?!"

Sheng Yuan touched his chin curiously: "Then what does Luo'an Mansion do?"

"Generally speaking, the wealthy gentry of aristocratic families want to control the best land in the local area. However, the late emperor's aggressive methods at that time frightened these aristocratic families who are still developing steadily now and confiscated all the land beyond the legal quota. This Only then did we have the current situation that all kinds of fertile land were distributed in the hands of the people.

Therefore, if an aristocratic family wants to grow valuable and sufficient food crops, it must have sufficient suitable land. "

"Aristocratic families also have to pay field taxes and grain, and plant the most fertile fields with double- or triple-crop crops to ensure the amount of grain and tax paid; then plant rare crops in overseas countries in suitable places, and grow crops that are extremely important in overseas trade. Popular spices and teas, flowers and trees, and even raw materials can ensure maximum profit."

The more Sheng Yuan listened, the more she felt that it had a sense of familiarity with production on a large farm.

"The ownership rights of the land belong to the peasant families, and the right to use it is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy gentry. One party provides the fields and manpower, and the other party takes over the grain and taxes that the other party needs to pay, and at the same time gives the other party a share of the food rations and profits."

"Eh? Isn't this good? Both sides have benefited. The wealthy family can only share a small amount of profit to keep the land they originally controlled without letting the emperor notice; and the people on the other side can Then you can hold fixed income steadily without taking too many risks... How can something that sounds good like this make both parties resentful of each other?"

Sheng Yuan thought about it over and over, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Seeing the little girl blinking her eyes, confused and cute, Sheng Xin smiled again: "There may not be any conflicts between them, but as long as one party is greedy and the other unwilling, there will be constant conflicts."

"!!!" Sheng Yuan suddenly realized, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh, got it! The initiator is the referee!
