The arrival of early spring and the melting of winter snow bring a hint of warmth to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty court has regarded "dividing land" as a top priority, and almost all departments and people are revolving around this matter.

In Li Banghua's class room, Zhang Liqi handed over a document and said, "Sir, an investigation report transferred by the Criminal Prison Department."

Li Banghua has been paying attention to this matter for a long time and hurriedly took it over.

He looked at it for a while, raised his head and said in shock: "Is it so big?"

Zhang Liqi looked solemn and said, "Yes. It was originally supposed to be doing it quietly, but I don't know if the news leaked or someone deliberately spread it. The entire Ming Dynasty seems to be enclosing land now. Not to mention Jiangnan, even the concentration of land in the north is unprecedented, and the prices are soaring, and some are maliciously raising prices."

Li Banghua frowned and his face turned pale. He continued to look at the document.

It is said that the court and local governments are suspected of colluding with gentry, wealthy merchants, hoarding land and things that the court wants to purchase in large quantities. There has been a monopoly phenomenon. If the court continues to collect land and purchase according to the current market conditions, the budget will be more than doubled, and the others will be twice as high!

What a scary thing this is, even Li Banghua feels horrible!

These people are too brave and are so blatant that they are not afraid of the court taking action and raiding their families and exterminated their clans!

Zhang Liqi seemed to see what Li Banghua thought, and said, "Sir, there are too many people involved this time. Almost all the gentry from the Ming Dynasty participated, and it is difficult to deal with it in full..."

Li Banghua raised his head, his face was cold and hard, his eyes were faint, and he said a cold voice for a moment: "There is no need to clean up, grasp the key points, kill the chicken and scare the monkey!"

Zhang Liqi looked at Li Banghua and waited for him to continue saying that simply killing chickens and scaring monkeys could not solve the problem. After all, the matter had already happened, the land was in power, and the price was high. The court was in a hurry now, so there was no time to spend time with the gentry.

Li Banghua said calmly, "First, through the air outlet, I said that I would divide the land into 200,000 hectares and one million households this year. Second, I would publicly make a budget of 5 million, purchase grain, livestock, ploughing tools, and fertilizers. Bidding will start as early as May. Third, review the victims, increase the team of clearing the yards, and collecting the land. The movement should be louder and louder, the better. The court report, the Royal Trading Group, you should say hello and ask them to help. Fourth, I would like to inform Annan Province of clearance and report the divisible acres and households, prepare to accept the victims and do resettlement matters. Fifth, I would like to release the news and say that the farming policy in Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places is about to be completed, and the land can be integrated and divided..."

Zhang Liqi kept holding a carbon pen to record. Listening to Li Banghua's series of words, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Sir, what do you mean?"

The senior officials of the court knew that not to mention their Qingtian Group, even if the entire court was working hard to "dividing the fields", they could not do too much for a while, and it took time to prepare, deal with and solve various problems.

Li Banghua suddenly put the stall so big again, how could they have the energy?

Li Banghua picked up the teacup and said, "I just want to see how long they can last? We checked the household registration and it will take at least half a year to clear the land acres of Zhangzhang, and there will be no amount of it for a while. The commercial companies such as fertilizers are controlled by the Royal Trading Group are enough to supply them."

Zhang Liqi understood and said, "Sir, are you going to drag them down?"

The imperial court actually had a lot of land. If it was divided, it would take at least two years to complete it. The land collection was just to completely solve the land problem, and the imperial court still had enough time to make a turnaround.

But those gentry are different. Not to mention things like fertilizers that cannot be preserved for a long time, if more and more agricultural tools, livestock and seeds are made, the investment is also huge. Without the purchase of the court, there is no way to recover the capital immediately.

Over time, I will definitely not be able to hold on!

For the large amount of land purchased by those people, the grain tax will be gradually implemented, and the rent quota regulations will be strictly implemented, and multiple measures will be taken. These people may not only not make money, but also have to lose money.

Li Banghua looked at Zhang Liqi and said, "No, we have to concentrate on doing our business now and have no time to pay attention to them."

Zhang Liqi cooperated and smiled, but thought to himself, "You don't care about this, but you dug a big hole. I don't know how many people will be killed."

Zhang Liqi received Li Banghua's order and began to make noises through various departments.

Sure enough, as soon as the wind came out, many people became eager. In addition to the rice, grain, oil and flour used by the people who were severely suppressed by the court, the prices of other items expanded rapidly in a few days and spread rapidly to the entire Ming Dynasty.

This incident really scared Sun Chuanting. After careful investigation, he went to the Qianqing Palace to explain to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu has been cultivating his character recently and practicing calligraphy. He has been very leisurely. Looking at the chief assistant standing at the table and making a comment, Zhu Xu said with a slight surprise, "Is this what Li Banghua did?"

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes. Mr. Li also made some noise out of anger, but he did not expect that such a big storm would cause, so I came to apologize."

The consequences of soaring prices are very serious and will inevitably have a great impact on the established reform plan.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just didn't expect that Lord Li had such a method, so I wouldn't be afraid that he would be stabbed by countless people in the future? Is he not going to return to his hometown in the future?"

The scholars value the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know how many people will be killed by Li Banghua’s few messages. It can be imagined that in the future, Li Banghua will retire and return home, and as soon as he arrives, he will be rushed out and beaten to death by a group of people, or he will suddenly burn the whole family to death at night, or be isolated and unable to even leave the door.

Sun Chuanting seemed to have not realized it and said: "I have ordered all departments of the court to suppress prices. The Price Bureau, the Law Enforcement Bureau and other departments are planning a nationwide joint action. I believe that prices will return to normal in the future."

With the advancement of reforms in the administration of officials, departments at all levels of the court, especially the new yamen, are gaining real power. In addition, Sun Chuanting's plan to replace 76 magistrates in the north will inevitably give these new yamen a strong support. Faced with the complex civil gentry, they will overcome difficulties and promote the rapid progress of other aspects of the "New Deal".

Zhu Xu didn't care much about these things and said, "You cast a net?"
