Chapter 605 Land New Deal
Although Daming has a large population, it is the largest in the world in terms of outflow of tens of millions.However, there are still many constraints on immigration from the mainland to overseas.

Sailing on high seas, if you don’t get seasick, you’re limited to coastal areas; the same is true on land, from northwest to southwest, such as the Burmese land that will be occupied, the acclimatization of the land is daunting.

According to the medical level at that time, these problems were not easy to solve, and they could only immigrate from nearby or similar areas.

For example, Mekong Province receives mostly people from the southern coast, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other provinces.As for the Burmese land that will be occupied, it is planned to divert the chieftains in Yunnan, which is called spreading branches and leaves, but in fact it will weaken their power.

Therefore, the expansion from south to north is to correspond to the people in different regions, so that they have enough land and enough living space.

As for land annexation, the emperor's understanding went a step further, and temporarily stopped the plan to nationalize the land.But the feudal lands of the vassal kings and the settlements of the guards have all been taken back now.

The concentration of land has both advantages and disadvantages. In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It is convenient for intensive management and mechanical farming.The benefit of a large-scale farm is definitely much higher than that of a single family.

However, the goal of "land to the tiller" that has been put forward since ancient times has always had a beginning and no end, and has become an idealized or demagogic slogan.

The reasons are simple and complex.

The emperor knew that even if the imperial court took back all the land and distributed it equally according to the number of farmers, the order would still be chaotic within ten years.

Let’s take one of the most common reasons. Farmers cannot live due to disease or disaster. What is the most valuable thing that can be sold, whether it is a house or arable land.

There are also poor farmers who have become rich by farming or other ways, and then buy land to expand production and become small landlords.

Of course, all the land is nationalized, and farmers only have the right to cultivate, not the right to buy and sell. This can solve a big problem. This is also the original thinking of the emperor.

But from the current point of view, the emperor felt that the nationalization of all land may not be the most reasonable policy.Moreover, to achieve this goal, forcibly robbing is the worst policy, and buying with money is too costly.

The simultaneous existence of nationalization and privatization may be more conducive to the development of land, especially newly opened territories, such as the fertile and vast Great Northern Wilderness.

Beijing, the headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Inspector Yang Runmin sat in the middle of the house, and members of the chamber of commerce in Beijing gathered. The meeting had not yet started, and everyone was whispering.

"Hey, twenty times the fine, what do you think is the trouble?"

"I underpaid two or three hundred, and was fined four or five thousand. This account is settled! Tut, tut."

"Young people have short-sighted eyes. I'm afraid the old shopkeeper of Longxing will take over again."

"Longxing Company's share in Datong Border City was given to Sihai, and there should be a reason behind it." Businessman A shook the document notification in his hand, curled his lips.

At this time, Yang Runmin coughed dryly, scanned everyone, and said in a deep voice after the meeting place quieted down: "The handling of tax evasion by Longxing Company has been made and distributed to you. I hope you will take it as a warning, Don’t be greedy for small things and lose big things.”

The establishment of chambers of commerce has rules and regulations, which must be approved by the relevant departments of the imperial court.Self-inspection and self-correction are one of the most important items, and it is also necessary to have an inspector to supervise.

The inspector not only supervises the law-abiding situation of the members of the chamber of commerce, but is also responsible for resolving disputes with the local government, or in other words, making things difficult for the local government, extorting and extorting, and upholding justice for merchants.

Because of this, the members of the chamber of commerce enjoy great convenience. Even if the business tax is raised and there is less messy management, they still earn more than before, and there is a lot less trouble.

It is not too much to say that it is ungrateful to enjoy the care of the court, and someone escorts them, and then engages in illegal activities of tax evasion.

The matter of Longxing Company was reported and investigated by members of the chamber of commerce.On the one hand, there is a competitive relationship, and on the other hand, everyone is worried about losing the care of the court and not enjoying the special treatment given.

In everyone's guess, it is estimated that the Universal Chamber of Commerce reported it.Otherwise, why would the share of the border market be given to him.Obviously, there is a meaning of reward.

And Longxing Company paid the fine happily, just to keep the membership of the chamber of commerce.

Otherwise, they will be kicked out of the chamber of commerce and will not be able to enjoy preferential treatment and care. Under the competition of other members of the chamber of commerce, they may decline or even go bankrupt.

Not to mention anything else, Longxing Company has semicolons in several big cities in Liaodong, and the shop was given to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for free by the government.If you are not a member of the chamber of commerce, then find the land yourself and pay for it yourself!

Tax evasion is a small loss, and if you don't make up for it as soon as possible, it is also a small loss.

After Yang Runmin finished the report, he stopped talking, picked up another document from the table, and said to everyone: "The imperial court has introduced new policies, related to land in Liaodong, and land taxation. Some people may not be interested, but my official I still want to report it so that everyone knows.”

It turns out that there is a policy, the right to perpetual farming, which is already quite good.If the family is big enough, it will be very profitable to acquire land for management.

Although merchants were different from gentry and landlords, they were not so interested in land, but they still listened attentively to Yang Runmin's report.

"The land in Liaodong, Jilin Mansion and Jilin Mansion to the north, can be bought and sold freely. For the land that is reclaimed, half of the harvest will be paid, and it will be returned to you in three years..."

Low voices of discussion sounded, this is more preferential than the perpetual farming rights.

Land ownership is no longer owned by the imperial court, but by oneself.Restrictions on abandoned farmland and land reclamation were also abolished, and the land belonged to them, so they could do whatever they wanted.

Hong merchants seem to make a lot of money, but they are also risky.With land in hand, that is long-term and stable income, which is preferred by the most conservative people.

"...The tenants recruited for farming, the rent and tax shall not exceed the upper limit set by the imperial court..."

When everyone heard this policy, they couldn't help but exchanged glances, showing expressions of understanding or doubt.

Smart people immediately thought that the rigid regulations on rent and tax are the prerequisite for liberalizing land sales.Land mergers should be merged, the interests of the tenants are protected by national laws, and there will be no unbearable exploitation.

The key is that state-owned and privately owned are parallel, and the land in Liaodong is now basically owned by the state.There is also a policy of reclaiming wasteland and granting land, and the people there have no shortage of land to cultivate.

Oh, this is a rainy day, a long-term plan for the future.At the same time, this is also a restriction on landlords across the country and a protection for all tenants.

There will be less and less land, except for large-scale wars and disasters, as the population increases, this trend will not change.

But with this policy, even if land annexation reaches a very serious level, tenants can still rely on labor to make a living.

This is the national policy of long-term stability!Many people lamented and secretly praised this policy for its long-term thinking.Now that the empire is strong and the emperor's authority is strong, will there be any landlords and gentry who will oppose the rebellion?
