"That's true. Those officials from the Ming Dynasty also told me that the land must be taken back to the state, and individuals only have the right to use it."
Eldenbao nodded.
For ordinary people, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of survival. As long as they can survive from hunger and make money, who will rebel?
The so-called dynasty cycle rate of the feudal dynasty is actually land annexation and a chicken-match contest in which the big fish eats the small fish.
Unless social productivity is greatly developed, the land issue will become the fundamental issue of the dynasty.
With the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, various types of improved varieties have greatly increased field yields.
The expanded production of chemical plants has also allowed chemical fertilizers to gradually enter the market.
Today's Ming Dynasty's grain production will increase by 30% this year.
At the same time, plantations in Southeast Asia and Guyana in South America were continuously transfusing blood to the Ming Dynasty, and the food problems that plagued the ancient dynasty were gradually being solved.
Those feudal relics with considerable wealth no longer focus on land output.
Compared with farming, global trade is obviously more attractive.
This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty's attack on landowners to divide their fields could be carried out peacefully and within limits.
Most small landowners are willing to give up their land directly and invest in industrial construction.
Only some stubborn people and some big landowners with bad records enjoyed the highest courtesy of the Ming Dynasty and hung themselves to death on the old crooked neck tree.
"Dudu~"
With a whistle blowing, several steam locomotives passed through the intersection under command.
Eldenbao followed Buyanda Lai, and after a while of twists and turns, he stopped in the open space in front of a 6-story attic.
Several attendants trotted over to help them park the steam locomotive in the parking space.
One of the waiters said: “For some distinguished guests, the parking lot is free, but you need to pay extra for water and coal.
Of course, if you have our Heaven and Earth membership card, you can use the points ticket to deduct the fee. "
"membership card?"
Eldenbao was confused and looked at Buyanda Lai winking at him with a smile on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what the trick was here.
This was his first time in Heaven and Earth, and he had never seen advertisements in the Ming Pao before.
“The membership card is something that guests can apply for at the front desk after spending a certain amount of money in heaven and earth.
Representing your noble status, we in Heaven and Earth will give gifts to every member every year. "
While introducing, the waiter led several people into the gate of heaven and earth.
The heaven and earth occupy a huge area, with pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.
The buildings are well-proportioned, dotted with flowers, birds, insects and fish, and are full of artistic flavor.
The largest main building is more than 20 meters high and has six floors. The cement walls are painted with vermilion paint, with red lights hanging high and banners hanging quietly.
As soon as Eldenbao entered the gate, his eyes widened.
I saw some gentlemen admiring the scenery in the garden in twos and threes, and each of them was accompanied by an exotic woman.
Elden Bao saw a lot of beauties. Among the three wives and four concubines in the family, none of them were beauties.
But he really didn't have much contact with these foreign women.
Eldenbao would only meet the female dependents of some foreign ministers when he accepted tribute from various countries during court meetings, or when various countries were on courtesy envoys.
I didn’t expect that there would be so much fun in this world, and women of all styles can be found.
Eldenbao even saw a swarthy woman in a corner, and next to her was a fat man.
Eldenbao swallowed.
Buyanda Lai smiled "hehe", whispered into Eldenbao's ear, and asked: "How is it? Isn't it nice here?"
"It's really good, but not too serious..."
"Serious? I won't bring you here even if you are serious!"
Buyanda Lai pointed to a blond woman in the distance and said, "Did you see that one? I heard that her family went bankrupt in Western Europe. After being raped by her old father, she was sold directly to the East."
"So miserable?"
Eldenbao was stunned. He had seen people selling their children, but he rarely saw people who had to be raped by their biological father before selling.
"And that one, it's said to be a descendant of some extinct empire in North America, called the Aztec Empire. It's been almost 300 years and I'm still thinking about her empire."
"This is not the worst thing. I heard that there was a little nobleman from Habsburg. After she was captured in Australia, no one paid to ransom her.
I heard that it was a family power struggle, and her brother had ordered the East India Company to prohibit her ransom. "
"Hiss, is it so miserable?"
"Yes, it's so miserable!" Buyanda Lai shook his head and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, there is no sign of her in the world, otherwise..."
"In this case, I can't bear to see other people suffer, so I will take care of these girls' business."
Eldenbao became interested, rubbed his hands and prepared to go find someone, but Buyandalai grabbed him.
"What's wrong?"
"Go and apply for a card first. Cards of different levels can go to different floors. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, understand, the higher the level, the more exciting it is, right?"
The two old men came to the lobby with smiles and saw the rules of the membership card at the front desk.
Spend or store 10,000 silver coins, bronze card.
Spend or store 100,000 silver coins, silver card.
Spend or store 1 million silver coins, gold card.
After being authenticated by the introducer, the gold card can be upgraded to a supreme card by storing another 1 million silver coins.
"Hiss~"
Seeing these few lines of words, Eldenbao took a deep breath.
"This is a money grab!"
Buyanda Lai blocked Eldenbao's mouth, motioned for him to lower his voice, and explained.
"You can't settle the account like this. Come and take a look at this."
Eldenbao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a hardcover book on the bar.
"Member Level Mall".
Eldenbao opened it and took a look, and gradually understood what the main business of heaven and earth was.
Limited edition steam locomotive, private steam boat...
These are all products that are not available on the market.
Eldenbao looked at those photos, and he was dazzled by the various new vehicles on them.
In particular, a certain beetle-shaped steam locomotive actually had a closed carriage that could seat four or five people. The only thing that ruined the overall beauty was the tall chimney behind the butt.
Looking at the price, you can buy a gold card for 50,000 silver coins.
so cheap?
Eldenbao compared his family property and found that after the property was transferred one after another, the interest given to him by Daming Bank every year was enough to buy three cars.
In this way, what's the difference between giving it away for free?
So, under Buyanda Lai's shocked eyes, Eldenbao directly took a check with a fixed amount of 1 million silver coins from his arms and handed it to the front desk clerk.
Buyanda Lai swallowed. He knew that Eldenbao had money, but he didn't expect to be so rich.
Eldenbao said that all his family property was sold and only cost more than 6 million silver coins.
The other more than 8 million silver coins are thanks to Emperor Jiaqing's previous friendly sponsorship.
After all, Wu Sangui, who has been working for a while, is rich!
