"Of course it's correct, of course it's reasonable~!"
Hai Chaohou is a veteran nobleman who takes his own interests very seriously. If it weren't for the army's pressure this time, he would never have surrendered his wealth and life.
But Yang Qian is familiar with history and naturally knows why the Central Plains dynasty has a cycle every three hundred years or so.
Although there are various reasons, every dynasty cannot escape the path of land annexation.
Two to three hundred years are enough for a very small number of people to occupy a huge amount of land. It would be strange if the country could not be subjugated if this was done.
"Have you never thought about Haichaohou that the land is limited and the population will grow. The more peaceful it is, the faster the growth will be."
"What happens when land is concentrated in the hands of a few people?"
"This~~~!"
Hai Chaohou thought about the nature of his urine and looked at Yang Qian in surprise.
"Since you already understand, I won't say anything more."
Haichaohou couldn't help but said, "Jun Wu'an, you, you are touching the interests of our nobles. If you continue like this, you may become the enemy of the whole world."
Yang Qian nodded and looked at Haichaohou in agreement.
To be honest, Yang Gan still doesn’t know how to improve land annexation.
It is not as simple as repatriation.
If everything is really nationalized, it will offend almost all strata. Isn't that what Wang Mang did, and he didn't even accomplish it.
When he died, everyone from the princes and ministers to the people at dawn applauded.
Since Yuntong began to implement state ownership of land, there have been many conflicts. Yang Gan handled them with the attitude that there are always more solutions than difficulties.
For example, if someone really wants to sell land, it's simple. It's not that they won't sell it to you, but they can only sell it to the county governor's office, and the county governor's office directly gives a price higher than the market price.
In this way, the resistance consciousness of the people at the bottom was also eliminated.
If you want to buy it, it's not impossible, it's just that it's very expensive, and you still have to pay taxes, and the county won't provide any support.
But if you want to rent land, the county not only does not object, but also supports it very much. As long as you can farm it till the end, someone will farm it.
Then I will rent you as much as you want, of course there is an upper limit. With the improvement of land and the increase in grain production, some weak social conflicts will be eliminated immediately.
The peasant class was successful, but it offended the landlord class. The feudal dynasty was an agricultural society. In other words, cultivated land was the lifeblood of the dynasty. Therefore, if people want to live a better life, they need to work on the land. With careful thought, private ownership of land was formed.
Because of the gap between rich and poor, land gradually concentrated in the hands of a few people, forming a landlord class.
If the country wants to collect taxes, the landlord class must be the majority, so the feudal system is also a system that protects the landlord class.
But here in Yang Gan, the contradictions of the lower class people have indeed been solved. As for the landlord class, Yang Gan has not adopted forced collection of land.
But in Guizhou, people are not fools. If your rent is high, then I won’t work on your property. I can work on other people’s houses or on government-owned land.
Two and a half percent of the tenant rent plus half of the national tax means 70% of the income. This is a great thing that is unimaginable in other counties.
People in Guizhou believe that all wealth in the world comes from the land, and eventually returns to the embrace of the land, so land is the real "hard currency."
If Yang Qian wants to convince them without any education, it is simply nonsense.
But he also has his own plans. I won’t say anything and let you enjoy the sweetness.
Things went very smoothly. After a few seasons of planting, anyone who worked a little harder was able to reap benefits and taste the sweetness in their mouths. There was no one who did not support Yang Gan.
This is to gain the support of the people in Guizhou, and the contradiction will disappear.
As for the squires and wealthy families, it's simple. After the increase in grain production, although the proportion of rents has decreased, the rents collected are actually much higher than in previous years. Some squires even doubled the rents they received.
The landlord class and the people at the bottom all benefited, plus the scholars praised Yang Qian.
Only in this way can reforms be carried out effectively. If you carry out a reform that offends all classes, then the reform will not be able to advance even if it is correct.
"Who said it would affect the interests of the nobles? You want the land just for profit. After my people officially settle in Haichao County, anyone can apply for the land. The land is only rented out, and the ownership still belongs to the court."
"and....."
Yang Qian paused and said with a smile on his face, "Hai Chaohou doesn't know how much grain our Yuntong produces per acre, right?"
Haichaohou hesitated for a moment, "I heard that Yuntong County has never been short of food since you came. It has a good harvest almost every year, and the entire county is full of granaries."
"Yes, our yield per mu in Yuntong can easily reach five dan, and some grains can even reach 20 or 30 dan."
"Fuck~~~!"
Hai Chaohou showed a look of stupidity.
"Although I feel aggrieved that you took away my land, Lord Wu An must not use such an excuse to deceive me, and use an excuse that even a child would not believe."
"You will know when the time comes."
No matter what, Hai Chaohou finally agreed.
Yang Gan's men were already waiting in the army outside the city.
When Haichao Hou came into contact with the city guards, a large number of troops moved in.
Such a time is a good time for Amagari to jump out.
Which official, what crime, etc., some will be retained, some will be thrown out directly, and some will even be beheaded.
A large number of backbone officials began to be added, and in almost three days, the entire Haichao County had been completely changed.
At this time, if Hou Haichao wanted to interfere in Haichao County's affairs, it would be almost impossible.
The officials who come will quickly copy the administrative processing model of Yuntong County.
Of course, there are also some officials who are masters and just come to let Haichao County go through the power vacuum period.
In the governor's mansion, only a few core officials and Haichao Hou were sitting inside.
After a while, basins of steaming dishes were brought out.
There is pork and lamb, most of which are braised, and there are potatoes cut into small pieces in the dishes.
On the other dishes are golden corns. Although they are not big, the yield is gratifying.
The local officials could barely contain themselves and started feasting.
They have never tried such fragrant dishes in their lives, and what matches it is the introduction of rapeseed oil, iron pots and other things.
Farmers have begun to popularize farming, fertilizing, and breeding techniques to representatives of the people in various places in Guizhou.
For example, in the simplest way of raising pigs, if you want it to be delicious, the first step is to stir up the pigs.
If there were no things like alcohol and allicin, if you fanned a hundred piglets, only a few would survive to adulthood, and the mortality rate would be 90%.
But it's different with alcohol. Generally, after a piglet is smeared with alcohol and then drinks a can of allicin, only a few unlucky piglets among tens of thousands of piglets will die due to infection.
This can already be called a miracle medicine.
There are also semi-automatic harvesters. There are many semi-automatic machines that scare the people of Haichao County out of their wits.
"What, can you still farm like this?"
"What, harvesting can be done like this?"
"Doesn't it mean that even a blind man can farm?"
"I was just wondering why Yuntong County's output is so great. It turns out that it uses these mechanism techniques. It's amazing."
Everyone outside the hall was full of praise for each piece of machinery, and many officials in the hall were feasting on iron pot cooking.
Immediately, external officials and local officials were drawn into the relationship.
"Eh~~~!"
"What's this?"
At this time, a machine as big as a carriage came into Yang Gan's eyes.
The person who brought the machine over quickly explained, "Jun
Above, this is Zhang Xiaohuo’s latest improved harvester. "
"As long as there is a pole for grain and the oxen pulls it in front, it can not only harvest the grain, but it is also blocked by a wooden board in front."
"The grain will be poured in the designated direction, and the conveyor belt made of linen will be transported to the carriage behind."
"As long as there are cattle and vehicles, one person can harvest at least dozens or even hundreds of acres of grain in a day."
"After harvesting, it is taken directly to the factory for shelling. If it needs to be stored, it will be processed and put into the granary without shelling."
Yang Qian secretly kept this in mind, and he would definitely reward him greatly after he returned.
Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force.
The local officials in the hall did not care about etiquette at all, and took bowls and chopsticks to watch outside the hall.
If there is a professional person who teaches and has the experience to actually operate both sides, even a fool can use it.
Seeing the unseen expressions on the faces of Hai Chaohou and other officials, Yang Gan felt extremely excited.
"Hai Chaohou, look, your income will only be more in the future, not less."
Hai Chaohou was shocked.
"That's natural. If I go by what Mr. Wu An said, my rent will at least double in the coming year."
Yang Gan nodded, pulled Hai Chaohou aside, and said seductively.
"Master Marquis, the country is like a ship. If someone is at the helm, someone is rowing the boat. Someone is cooking, and someone is repairing the hull. They are all in the same boat. If the boat sinks, it will be no good for everyone."
"If the life is peaceful and the food harvest is good, the population will only increase and the country will become stronger and stronger. Only then can your money, food and interests be protected."
"If we drive all the tenant farmers to death, who will farm our land? Who will work for us?"
Hai Chaohou is also a person who knows how to weigh things. After careful calculation, he found that he had suffered a big loss. If the fields were still there, it wouldn't be a matter of doubling it, but a matter of doubling it ten times.
However, now that the form is stronger than the human being, there is no other way, and the most territory nearby is the one who owns the most.
If you don't take what others have, you take what's yours. If you want to unite with others, you can't unite. You can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.
I hope Mr. Wu An will not cause trouble for himself, otherwise it will be really miserable.
Just looking at Wu Anjun's immature, childlike face.
That night, he went home and beat all his children.
It feels aggrieved that other people's children are already participating in state affairs at the age of ten and have more battlefield experience than myself.
His own heirs and children within his clan are ten years old? I just learned some tricks to recognize characters.
You can't do anything, you're number one in food, if you don't beat them, who can you beat?
