Overlord!

Chapter 73 Jiangnan's unique economic advantages

Zhou Cheng should be very busy recently, since Sun Ce hasn't opened the mansion yet, she is actually helping Sun Ce manage the internal and external affairs of the mansion.

Zhang Zhao, a senior official, was in charge of official government affairs, and she was in charge of many matters in the mansion, such as the mansion in the Fuzhong Garden, the trilogy of guests, wealth management and other personal affairs related to Sun Ce.

Hearing Sun Ce's inquiry, Zhou Cheng immediately said: "I just want to talk to Sun Lang about the people's occupation of the mansion's gardens. The servants of the mansion came to report that several gardens such as Wutong Garden, Luyuan, and Tiger Hill in the mansion were occupied by the people. There are a lot of fields. How does Sun Lang plan to dispose of them?"

Sun Ce glanced at the orange tree he had planted, isn't he already disposing of it?

If he doesn't plant some trees, the land of the Lord of Jiangdong will be robbed!
Seeing Sun Ce's gaze, Zhou Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Sun Lang, Wu County now occupies a lot of land, and even the hills are full of mulberry, jujube, and orange tea, and there is no open land in the wild. If we don't care about it this year, next year the people and the powerful may lose their lives." We are going to take up all our gardens."

Sun Ce spread his hands helplessly: "The law is like this, what can I do?"

Although he is the Lord of Jiangdong, it is difficult for him to change anything artificially in the face of such a mighty trend as the government order.

The problem now is that Sun Ce's mansion doesn't have a large number of customers or parts, so he can only watch others cultivate his fertile land.

This is definitely a great loss, but on the other hand, Sun Ce is also quite happy in his heart, because sooner or later this sword will cut at Hao Qiang.

Not setting up the land system definitely does not mean not suppressing mergers.

In fact, Sun Ce never felt that the law prohibiting the merger of strong and powerful would really solve the problem of mergers.If this method is to work, then in the Central Plains in 2000, the dynasties of the past dynasties have not implemented it to the death?Why did they fall to land mergers one after another.

The most important means of effectively controlling the mergers of powerful people are always interests, eternal interests!

The successive dynasties of the Central Plains could not control land annexation, and even did not hesitate to tear themselves apart, directly ending up as an enemy of the annexer and restricting annexation.The literati and bureaucrats were heartbroken, lamenting the disadvantages of the annexation, and mourning the hardship of the people's livelihood.Xing, the people suffer.death, the people suffer.There has been a consensus in society on the harm of land mergers, but mergers are still prevalent and difficult to curb.

It seems that this problem has consumed countless energy of the Central Plains Dynasty and has become an unsolvable chronic disease.

The most fundamental reason is actually only one, this group of people are playing left and right.He wrestled with himself, wasting energy for hundreds of years.

While frantically restricting mergers, while frantically protecting the privileges of mergers.Aristocratic families and powerful people have tax-free privileges, and there is no burden at all to annex land, and they don’t have to pay taxes anyway. Whether they grow or not, they are wealth.So who doesn't merge a little?
Therefore, taxation is the most effective means to adjust wealth distribution and control mergers.

They can only hire customers who cultivate 99 mu of fertile land, and when they merge the 100th mu of land, it is not wealth, but a loss.

At this time, let's see if they still want this hot potato!

The outsiders of the manor in the Song Dynasty knew this kind of hardship very well. Since the customers moved, they were not restricted by the main household. Every mu of land was harvested every day, and they discussed where to go.

Therefore, when the harvest is over every year, the most important thing for the outsiders is to discuss with the clients the commission terms for the coming year, and win over the farmers with relatively favorable terms, lest these clients go to other manors, and the fields of their own manors will not be cultivated.

Under Sun Ce's rule, taxes were levied on the basis of mu, and Sun Ce never stipulated the upper limit of a family's land by law.

He even has the same interests as the tyrants. He made it clear for the first time, what a hard life you all had before!If you want to grow more fields, you have to sneak around, lest you have too much land under your name, and you will be found out by the government, and your head will be cut off. If you guard the harvest of hundreds of acres of land every year, you can only have a total of several thousand shi of grain harvest?
Now follow me, wealth will expand tenfold, and it will never be a problem!

As long as you pay the tax, you are fine, I am fine, and everyone is fine.The world has gained ten times as much cultivated land, and there is no open land in the wild.Hao Qiang has obtained a hundred times wealth, far exceeding the original.The government also received an unprecedented total tax revenue.Even the little people are not as helpless as before, starving to death everywhere.

Because in this decree, the key point is that for every mu of fertile land acquired by a tyrant, he needs to find small people to produce and cultivate it, so as to transform the land and other means of production into real wealth.

If there is an acre of land that has not been cultivated, it is not a problem that his wealth has not increased, but that the wealth in the treasury has to bear the tax loss of this acre of land.

If there are tens, hundreds or even thousands of acres of land that are not cultivated every year, what the tyrants should consider is not how to merge, but how to trade these lands.This is doomed, under Sun Ce's rule, it is difficult to produce the kind of big tyrants who own tens of thousands of mu or even 10,000+ mu of fertile land, the family of nobles and officials.

Of course, Sun Ce would be even happier if every mu of their land could be cultivated.This is the career of the prosperous age!

The feudal prosperity in Sun Ce's mind was that there was no open land in the world, and every mu of land was carefully cared for by the people, and the fields were developed to the extreme.The level of agriculture is highly developed, and it is no longer necessary for every commoner to cultivate these lands to ensure that everyone has enough food.Therefore, a large number of people are not engaged in agricultural production, and the surplus is used to develop industry and commerce.Provide more clothes, equipment, tools, agricultural implements and even machines for the farming people!
"Without agriculture, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life." This is the truth that all the feudal literati knew very well, and they knew very well that industry was the largest source of social wealth.

But some people just like the small-scale peasant economy, like the world is poor, and every household is self-sufficient with tens of acres of land.

According to the system they designed, they themselves don't know who should be the businessman.who will act as workers.

A dozen workshops in a county need [-] workers, and a county needs [-] to [-] professional workers, producing for generations.They scratched their heads and couldn't figure it out. Everyone is sharing the land and granting the land, and every family is engaged in small-scale agricultural production in the fields. Where should they find these [-] workers?Do you want to offer a huge reward?But a huge reward is offered, what about the land?Doesn't the trade eventually have to be allowed?

So they slapped their heads!Then some people simply stop farming!I will divide occupations for you, and you people will be artisans for generations to come, and you are not allowed to engage in other things.

For example... Meng Yuan, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who was born as a peasant.

As a future traveler, the mind and vision cannot be at the same level as these two, and they still have to go beyond.

After all, Sun Ce really never thought that no one can develop industry, and this problem needs to be solved by catching craftsmen and appointing a group of people to be craftsmen for generations.

What he hopes more is that the people's dependence on the land will be greatly reduced, and they can decide to stay or stay on their own, so that they can be detached and take the initiative to engage in industry and commerce.

And this, of course, is guaranteed by taxes.That is to say, exempt from Ding Fu.

This article seems to treat the world equally and has nothing to do with Haoqiang, but this is the real fatal blow to Haoqiang!
This ensures that the people under Sun Ce's rule will flow into workshops and businesses instead of becoming serfs!
Why are the tyrants in groups now?It's not that the people were so oppressed by the heavy taxes of the imperial court that they took the initiative to join the tyrants as trilogy, in order to seek asylum and avoid heavy taxes.

But when the imperial court stopped collecting taxes from the people, and they were clear-headed, it was impossible for them to continue to run under the hands of Hao Qiang.

This is the real recipe for undoing the powerful trilogy.

The wisdom of politics is that if you want to deal with a certain target, it is not necessary to swing the knife directly to deal with other targets, and the effect may be better.

Without a strong control of the plot, the tyrants have to discuss with the customers if they want to cultivate the land, so how can the power not be lost?

Of course, you can always underestimate the sanity of the average person.

Even if Sun Ce announced that Ding Fu would not be collected, there will still be many people who are not clear-headed and habitually seek refuge with the powerful and act as part-timers.

There must be a process of change in the general trend, and this is by no means an immediate effect within a year or two after the implementation of the decree.At least someone has to guide it, and then the society will form a trend, and it will take three to five or even ten years to gradually change.The speed depends on the overall civil literacy level.

However, since someone needs to be guided, why can't this person be himself?

It's like there is always a hero to end this troubled world, so why can't this hero be me!

Zhou Cheng gave Sun Ce a suggestion, saying: "Sun Lang, don't always feel that you are on the sidelines and watching the development of government orders. I think Sun Lang is the core with the most profound influence in the entire Jiangdong. The nobles, common people, and heroes all pay attention. This order to occupy the land and reclaim it is not as good as our family's example."

Sun Ce laughed, and suddenly found that since he traveled through time, it seemed that his lovely wife was the one who gave him the most advice and advice.

This is not a marriage partner, this is clearly her greatest virtuous wife!It can be said that a prime minister was sent to her side as a daughter, and she had no distractions, and assisted herself wholeheartedly.

Sun Ce asked with a smile, "What does Madam mean, is that our family also hired people to come and reclaim the garden?"

Zhou Cheng nodded, and gave a source: "The people in Wu County are all occupying land, and they may not have the intention to come here to cultivate for the big clan. But the people in Shanyue have no land and are trapped in the mountains. If Sun Lang can use the people of Shanyue to cultivate gardens If it is limited, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"

"Three wins with one stone? Which three wins?" Jiang Qin's eyes like copper bells widened.Madam's wisdom is already close to that of a ghost!How can one thing have so many benefits?
Zhou Cheng explained with a smile: "First of all, this is to solve the problem of Sun Lang's downfall of Shanyue. A powerful family must need a lot of manpower to develop farming. Before that, they didn't have much interest in Shanyue. Willingly follow suit, and even take the initiative to enter the mountains to attract the people of Shanyue, which will weaken the power of Jiangdong Shanyue every year."

"Secondly, the placement of Shanyue in the General's Mansion must allow it to come and go freely after farming. This will make the powerful trilogy see it in the eyes and know the current trend. The landless customers and the master will stay if they agree, and leave if they don't agree. Powerful control."

"In the end, after the people of Shanyue left, they were still able to reclaim wasteland and buy property under Sun Lang's rule. This will definitely touch the hearts of the people, and the powerful trilogy will form a pioneering style. This will even help alleviate mergers. There are a large number of trilogy under the powerful subordinates Suddenly disintegrated and left, and no one farmed the fields in the hands of the powerful. In the next year or the year after that, there will even be a strong man who will negotiate with Buqu to sell or grant the fertile land to Buqu in various forms, saving Buqu the effort to open up wasteland. In exchange for the trilogy, continue to cultivate it."

After listening, Sun Ce nodded seriously.This decree has never been only biased towards the powerful, it is also of great benefit to the common people.

Between land occupation, reclamation, development, and suppression of mergers, there will inevitably be a lot of conflicts, repetitions, compromises, and transactions between the powerful and the common people, and then a balance that is relatively acceptable to all parties will be reached, thereby forming a common result that will eventually promote The population increased, the area of ​​land reclamation increased, and there was no open land, and agriculture was able to develop significantly.

As for the problem of weakening Shanyue, it is the most insignificant addition.

Of course, the seriousness of the Shanyue problem lies in the fact that they are also mixed with a lot of powerful and alien ambitions and desires, which cannot be resolved with a single government order.

Sun Ce actually didn't like Shanyue very much.

As a traditional Central Plains person, he still likes Zhuxia, a nation that can work hard, work hard, and create a lot of wealth as long as they settle down.

In fact, he himself also has this tendency. With some means of production in his hands, he always wants to produce him into wealth.

"For garden reclamation, I plan to plant some long-term cash crops."

The term "cash crops" does not yet exist.

So Zhou Cheng and Jiang Qin looked at him at the same time and asked, "Sun Lang?"

"I plan to hire hundreds of people from the house to grow mulberry, orange, tea, and pepper in the garden."

Sun Ce has made up his mind, he must fight an economic war with the North, and use the economic war to assist his military conquest.

As for the economic war, Jiangnan has the most advantages in these types.

Sang determined the textile advantages of Jiangnan. Yunjin and Songjin all came from the land under Sun Ce's current rule.As long as the textile industry develops, Jiangnan can achieve economic advantages.

Tea is a special product in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is an important weapon for trade harvest in the hands of the Central Plains.However, drinking tea today is not as popular as it will be in later generations, and this needs to be cultivated.

Pepper is one of the most precious spices of this era.The so-called Queen's Pepper Room is made of ground pepper and other spices and made into mud, which is painted on the outer wall of the room.As one of the most extravagant, wasteful expressions.

Not much to say about oranges.

Jiangnan can gradually develop into the economic center of the Central Plains, and the climate and specialty products all have unique advantages.

As long as these four economic crops are generally planted, Sun Ce can ensure that in the next few years, he will continue to harvest the north by relying on Jiangnan's special products.

When Sun Ce and his subordinates were happily discussing Jiangnan production and planning for a bright future, Zhang Zhao strode over with a solemn expression.

Seeing his face like this, everyone's smiles disappeared, and their expressions became serious. Did something happen?
