Just when everyone was still hesitant.
The two people actually stood up first and wanted to hand over the ground.
The heads of the family all stared at these two people.
Crazy, really crazy!
Five taels of silver per acre of land, isn't this an act of robbery?
If this is the case, it is better to pay the land like the common people before, at least twenty taels of silver. Their farmland is better, why is it cheaper than the common people.
This strong sense of gap is unacceptable to them.
We do not suffer from poverty but from inequality.
This is the mentality of most people.
The scattered cultivated land of the common people could be exchanged for twenty taels of silver.
But for their complete land, they could only get five taels of silver.
This gap is too big.
If it were placed on more than ten acres of land, it would be barely acceptable.
But you know, these landowners own tens of thousands of acres of land.
More than a hundred thousand acres, less than tens of thousands of acres.
Even if we take a middle value, let’s calculate it as 50,000 acres.
Then the price of compensation is twenty taels of silver, which is one million taels.
If the compensation is five taels of silver, it will be two hundred and fifty thousand taels.
The difference is a full 750,000 taels! ! !
This is still the algorithm of taking the middle number. If you are a large landowner with more than 100,000 acres, the gap will widen to more than one million taels of silver.
How is this acceptable? ? ?
Even if the Imperial Master gives the business, how many years will it take to make up the difference?
The Imperial Master is really good at calculating.
Many family heads began to regret in their hearts.
If I had known that a few days ago, I would have sold the land with the people.
However, just when everyone was planning to join forces and bargain with the national master.
However, the Zhao family and the Tang family jumped out and said they accepted it.
"Damn, these two families must have discussed this in advance."
"The son of the old man from the Zhao family is the Minister of War. Is there any inside information?"
"What bullshit inside information? It must have been suppressed by the National Master. I have to bow my head. Damn it, if they do this, it will be hard for us to make demands."
"Yeah, I fell into a disadvantage all of a sudden."
"Isn't that old man from the Tang family quite tough? Why did he suddenly give in?"
The heads of families everywhere were filled with hatred when they saw these two people.
What they lost was a huge amount of profits.
"good very good!"
Seeing these two families coming out first, Li Xiao smiled and nodded: "That's right. If you cooperate with the imperial court, can the imperial court treat you badly? Go and sign the contract."
"yes."
"yes."
The head of the Zhao family and the head of the Tang family cupped their hands and walked to a nearby workbench. There were dozens of household officials at the workbench, responsible for today's matters.
The two handed over the title deed, which was then verified by Ministry of Household Affairs officials.
Then, sign the paperwork.
After the signing, all their land will belong to the court.
The efficiency of the household department is very fast. Among them are some of Li Xiao's own people, such as the generals of the twelve generals of Tianmen, who have drawn up more convenient forms, processes, etc. in advance.
"Handover completed!"
An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs shouted: "The Zhao family in Longtan has acquired 80,000 acres of land, which is equivalent to a compensation of 400,000 taels of silver. Because the amount of silver is too much, we will directly issue large-denomination certificates of deposit from Da Ming Bank, which can be deposited at any time." Pick."
"Qilin Tang's family has handed over 50,000 acres of land, which is equivalent to a compensation of 250,000 taels of silver. They will directly issue large-denomination certificates of deposit from Da Ming Bank, which can be deposited in Da Ming Bank and can be withdrawn at any time."
The two transactions were completed.
I also got the silver coins.
The 400,000 taels of silver deposited in Daming Bank still earn interest. According to the interest rate that has just been raised, the annual interest rate is as high as 4%. If you do nothing every year, you can make a profit of 16,000 taels of silver.
For ordinary people, this is a relief, but for these families, it is nothing.
For them, selling the land is an act of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs. It is good now, but as time goes by and passed down from generation to generation, it will one day be ruined.
Ancient people attached great importance to inheritance. They not only considered themselves, but also considered the inheritance of their family. For them, it was only second to life.
At this moment, everyone was looking at the two family heads.
Let’s see what business there is for them next.
If it was really just such a small amount of silver that was wasted, they would not be able to accept it.
In fact, they had no way to disobey Li Xiao's will.
Now that 80% of the land has been handed over, as long as Li Xiao is willing, he can even take the land by force without spending any money, but there are many hidden dangers and it is unethical.
Moreover, although these people are hateful, they can still be considered middle class.
These middle class people are considered to have brains, resources, and connections. Their connections are very wide, and their influence can affect the whole body.
If these middle class people are eliminated, the economy will definitely be greatly affected, and there will also be some unrest and instability in society.
The most important thing is that Li Xiao still needs to use them.
That's right, after entering the industrial society and the output of goods increased sharply, someone needed to take on the responsibility of selling it and stabilizing prices.
It is too slow for ordinary people to grow up.
If you want to quickly enter the industrial society, the social responsibilities of these families are essential.
The children of these families have been studying since childhood, and are well-educated and knowledgeable, so it would be a good idea for them to take over the first batch of businesses.
Not only are they capable, they also have strong spending power, contributing to economic circulation, and their entrepreneurship will also create employment.
Of course, this does not mean that ordinary people do not have opportunities. Li Xiao will also give ordinary people opportunities and open small loans, so that some people who dare to fight can become a new generation of middle class, or even surpass these original middle class.
This was absolutely impossible before.
Li Xiao has created a new era, and opportunities will come one after another. It is up to them whether they can seize them.
It's fair.
The most important thing is that the country's current source of tax revenue mainly relies on commercial taxes. If these landowners become merchants, they can collect more commercial taxes.
The more business taxes are collected, the less the people have to bear, and the more comfortable their lives will be.
At this time, Li Xiao looked at the Zhao family head and said, "Zhao family head, you are the first to hand over the land, so the better business you will get."
Hearing this, the head of the Zhao family felt happy.
It was still the son's role. I was not wrong in my bet.
His second son, Minister of War Zhao Jingkun, said that whether he accepts it or not, the overall situation has been decided. Instead of struggling, it is better to accept the situation and strive for more benefits.
Li Xiao took out a document from the table next to him and said: "This is the general agent of Shuntianfu of Beiping Xiangyun Fertilizer Factory. Your Zhao family can get the goods from the general agent of Nanzhili at the upper level. The general agent of Nanzhili , is the Xu family of Wei Guogong. You get the goods from the general agent of Nanzhili, and then distribute them to the township agents below. What is the profit of fertilizer? You may not know very well. I only need to tell you that according to the current total cultivated land of Yingtian Mansion Quantity, your annual income should not be less than this amount."
Li Xiao held out three fingers. The meaning was self-evident, that is, the annual profit would be no less than 30,000 taels of silver.
hiss.
The head of the Zhao family took a breath of cold air.
What chemical fertilizer is is not unfamiliar to him at all, and he is even very familiar with it.
Because chemical fertilizers have long been used in various parts of southern Zhili, which can greatly increase production.
But spending this thing is an official business.
Just like snowflakes and white salt, it is a business controlled by the imperial court.
Unexpectedly, it can now be operated privately?
As for the profit of 30,000 silver taels a year, the head of the Zhao family has no doubts.
That’s chemical fertilizer!
He is also the general agent of Yingtianfu.
With an annual income of thirty thousand silver, if it can be maintained and passed on from generation to generation, the Zhao family will be able to maintain its current status.
"Thank you, Imperial Master!"
The head of the Zhao family knelt down and saluted excitedly.
"Don't be too happy too early."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "From now on, Nanjing will also implement the new commercial tax law. If your annual income exceeds 5,000 taels, it is considered a high income. Therefore, your commercial tax has reached the highest level. Ten taxes are 50%. These 30,000 taels are For your silver income, you need to hand over fifteen thousand taels of silver to the court. You should not have any thoughts of tax evasion. The court has many ways to check you. Your profits can be calculated from the factory purchase volume. Tax evasion is a serious crime."
"this"
The head of the Zhao family was stunned. Half of it was suddenly lost. It was as painful as cutting meat. This business tax was too exaggerated. Wasn't it thirty to one tax before?
However, he is a shrewd person after all. After thinking about it, his annual income of fifteen thousand taels is not bad and he can accept it.
Li Xiao smiled and comforted: "But don't be too depressed. As the land opens up, various cash crops will also enter Nanjing, and the amount of chemical fertilizers will increase. There is at least three times the room for growth. In a few years, Maybe your income will rise to 60,000 taels of silver. Even if you pay a tax of 30,000 taels of silver, you can still get an income of 30,000 taels, which is already a lot."
After Li Xiao explained this, the head of the Zhao family became excited again.
And in fact, it is.
In the short term, whoever gets the agency rights for chemical fertilizers will just sit back and make money.
However, only these people can make this money.
After all, ordinary people cannot afford so much silver to stock up on goods.
Fertilizer agents need to rent large warehouses, purchase a large amount of goods, and invest hundreds of thousands of taels. How can ordinary people afford it? Only these families can use the land to make money.
This is the law of society. No matter what era, money begets money the fastest. People with capital are always one step ahead of others, and Li Xiao can't change that.
However, it is impossible for them to rely on this business to succeed once and for all and pass it on from generation to generation.
Because at this stage, chemical fertilizers are indeed a separate business.
Because of current expenses, supply exceeds demand, so we sell whatever we produce.
But in more than ten years, there will be various fertilizer factories and various brands. In addition to Xiangyun brand fertilizer, there will also be Jinkela brand fertilizer and Stanley brand fertilizer.
At that time, a hundred flowers will bloom, there will be no independent business, and competition will be needed.
Their good life is limited to these ten years.
Li Xiao would not let any one business monopolize the entire Ming Dynasty.
"National Master, our Zhao family will definitely pay taxes truthfully!"
After the head of the Zhao family made a promise, he went down with the paperwork.
This also represents the birth of a new era. China's industrial structure has changed at this moment, from a farming feudal society to a capital feudal society.
This is a novel social structure, a combination of capital and a unified feudal dynasty. Li Xiao doesn't know how it will develop in the future.
But come to think of it, capital is definitely unable to compete with imperial power.
Moreover, Li Xiao has already planned that in the future, resource-based industries such as petroleum, coal mines, salt, natural gas, water, and electric energy will definitely not be allowed to get involved in capital.
"National Preceptor. As for me, I also support the Imperial Preceptor very much."
Seeing that the Zhao family had benefited, the head of the Tang family's eyes also lit up.
"In addition to handing over the farmland, your Tang family also has to move your family's house. You should know this, right?" Li Xiao looked over.
"Guidance and guidance must be obeyed by the Imperial Master." The head of the Tang family also compromised.
Li Xiao nodded, "Very good, those who understand current affairs are heroes. For the Tang family, let's take the Shuntianfu general agent of Beiping Qingfeng brand toilet paper. The annual profit is expected to be around 30,000 yuan. In addition, after you move here, there will be another I have a business deal for you, but you don’t need to know about it for now, just contact Yu Qian then.”
After speaking, he handed over the agency documents.
The eunuch took it and handed it to the head of the Tang family.
The head of the Tang family also accepted it with joy.
His Tang family was in the toilet paper business before, and those terminal channels are still there. As long as he has the agency rights for toilet paper, he can make money on his own.
Just like that, the Tang family walked away contentedly.
This stunned all the family heads in the audience.
It seems that it is indeed beneficial to hand over the land first. The Tang family is just a very small family, and it is not very prominent in Shuntian Mansion. It can only do business such as papyrus.
But now I have tasted the greatest sweetness
The entire Shuntian Prefecture's agents, that is to say, they cannot get the goods directly from the factory. They can only get the goods by becoming an agent.
The agents are also layered one by one, including the general agent in Nanzhili, the general agent in the government, and the general agent in the townships. The higher you go, the more profitable you are.
Now a small Tang family has actually taken over the agency of the entire Shuntian Prefecture.
Moreover, family heads everywhere also understand this fact.
It seems that local products cannot compete with the products produced in Peiping, both in terms of price and quality.
Now, the National Master has made it clear that he wants all these commodities to flow into Najing.
Once these goods enter Nanjing, all their industries will be lost and they will be unable to compete at all.
In other words, now that we have no land and want to survive, we can only seize agency rights.
But to seize the agency rights, one has to accept five taels of silver per acre of land and sell it at a despicable price.
"What should I say now?"
"I don't know either. Head of the Sun family, please tell me and come up with an idea."
"I think our property will all be lost in the future. If we can't get the agency right now, the family will be gone."
"Can't I not choose?"
"It's a beautiful idea, but if you don't choose, you won't be able to get out of this door today. The Imperial Master is still telling us some truths, but after a while, I'm afraid I won't even think about the truths anymore."
House owners everywhere are still hesitating about how to choose.
But there were already forerunners who sneaked over.
Hand over the land first and get the benefits first.
Once all the provincial agents are taken, the remaining ones are the township agents.
Obviously not cost-effective.
"You guys discuss it first and come up with a countermeasure. I'll come as soon as I go."
Several people have already run to pay the ground.
"Old thief, you actually ran away first, you bitch!"
When the other household heads saw this, they also ran towards the household workbench.
"I hand it over, I hand it over to the Zhang family in West Lake!"
"I'm in Zhenjiang, Tianjiajiajiajia."
"I am in contact with the Deng family in Chentang."
The heads of the family ran towards that side one after another.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd, line up!"
"Don't fucking cut in line."
Li Xiao doesn't need to do the rest himself.
The newly established Department of Commerce began to issue agency rights in various places
Weigh the order of handing over land, the number of lands handed over, and the strength of the family.
The one who is strong, has many connections, and is the first to make connections is the government agent.
Weak in strength and with little land, the township agents are at the lower end.
Moreover, you don’t have to worry about not having enough agents at all.
There are many agents, including snowflake white salt, essential oil, safflower oil, chemical fertilizers, toilet paper, cloth, down jackets, paper, pens, vegetable oil, and ceramic tiles.
In short, all landowners were transformed into merchants.
Moreover, they are businessmen who do not know the production methods, so they can easily control them. As for the technology of opening factories, most of them are still in the hands of the imperial court.
By the afternoon, all 70 million acres of land had been handed over.
Of course, there are still some family heads who have not come yet, and Li Xiao is not going to give them agency rights. When the time comes, he will directly force five taels of silver per acre to get the land.
They can only blame themselves for being ignorant, having bad luck, and going against Li Xiao.
In short, after these landowners handed over their land, 98% of the land in Southern Zhili has been collected.
As for outside Nanjing, vassal kings from various places have also taken action.
Their methods are the same as Li Xiao's.
Li Xiao's strategy has been recorded by Jinyiwei and distributed to vassal kings everywhere.
The meeting lasted into the evening and ended successfully.
"National Master, we have all arrived." Yu Shi reported in surprise.
"very good."
Li Xiao smiled and clapped his hands, "We're done."
It seems that it won't be long before he can return to Peiping.
It's finally almost over.
Ningyun will definitely be very happy when she finds out (end of chapter)
