Chapter 425 New Land Deal
Although the Ming Dynasty had a large population, it was the world's number one in diversion of tens of millions. However, there were still many restrictions on immigration from the local area to overseas.
If you sail far away, you will never be seasick, so you will be limited to coastal areas; the same is true on land, from the northwest to the southwest, such as the Myanmar land that will be occupied, it is daunting to be unacceptable to the land.
Based on 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 most of the population of the southern coastal areas, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other provinces. The Myanmar land that is about to be occupied is planned to divert the chieftains in Yunnan, called "scattering branches and leaves", but in fact it is less powerful.
Therefore, the expansion of going south and north is to correspond to the people in different regions, so that they have sufficient land and enough living space.
As for land annexation, the emperor's understanding of land was further deepened and temporarily stopped the plan to nationalize the land. However, the fiefs of the vassal kings and the garrisons had been completely recovered.
Land concentration has both advantages and disadvantages. In the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, which are convenient for intensive management and mechanical farming. The benefits of large-scale farms are definitely much higher than those of a single family.
The goal of "the farmer has his own land" proposed from ancient times to the present has always been an ideal or a slogan that has a beginning and no end, becoming an ideal or a bewitching slogan.
The reason is simple and complicated.
The emperor knew that even if the 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.
Just one of the most common reasons: farmers cannot live due to illness and disaster, so what is the most valuable thing they can sell, either houses or arable land.
There are also poor farmers who have become rich by farming or other means, and they buy land to expand production and become small landlords.
Of course, all the land is nationalized, and farmers only have the right to cultivate and do not have the right to buy and sell, which can solve a big problem. This is also the emperor's original idea.
But from the current perspective, the emperor felt that the nationalization of land may not be the most reasonable policy. Moreover, to achieve this goal, forcibly robbing is the worst strategy, and buying it with money will cost too much.
Nationalization and privatization simultaneously may promote the development of land, especially newly developed territories, such as the fertile and vast northern wilderness.
Beijing, headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Inspector Yang Runmin sat in the middle of the residence, and the members of the chamber of commerce in Beijing gathered. Before the meeting began, everyone was whispering.
"Hehe, twenty times fine, why do you think this is a problem?"
"I paid two or three hundred less, and I was fined four or five thousand. The account is settled! Tsk, Tsk."
"Young people have shallow eyes, and the old shopkeeper of Longxing is probably going to take over again."
"The share of Longxing Business in Datong border market is given to Sihai, and there should be a reason behind this." Merchant Jia shook the document report in his hand and curled his lips.
At this time, Yang Runmin coughed dryly and glanced at everyone. After the venue calmed down, he said in a deep voice: "The handling of tax evasion in Longxing Business has been made and has been distributed to you. I hope you will take it as a warning to not be greedy for the small and lose the big ones."
The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce has rules and regulations, and must be approved by relevant departments of the court. Self-examination and self-correction is an important one, and an inspector is responsible for supervision, which is also a must-have.
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 local governments, or making things difficult for local governments, and upholding justice for merchants.
Because of this, the members of the Chamber of Commerce enjoyed great convenience. Even if the commercial tax increases and the messy management points are missing, they still make more money than before and have much less trouble.
After enjoying the care of the court, someone protects them and then commits illegal acts of tax evasion. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ungrateful.
The matter of Longxing Business is 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 that they will lose the care of the court and will not enjoy the special treatment they are given.
Among the people's guess, it was probably reported by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, why did the share of the border market be given to him? It was obvious that it means reward.
Longxing Business Company paid a fine solely to maintain the qualifications of the Chamber of Commerce.
Otherwise, if you are kicked out of the chamber of commerce and cannot enjoy the discounts and care, you may decline or even go bankrupt under the competition of other chamber of commerce members.
Not to mention anything else, Longxing Business has a semicolon in several big cities in Liaodong, and the store is free to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. If you are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, then find the land yourself and pay for it yourself!
Tax evasion is caused by small losses and failure to make up for the fault of the sheep as soon as possible, which is also caused by small losses of the fault of the large losses.
After Yang Runmintong's report and warned him, he stopped talking. He picked up another document from the table and said to everyone: "The court has introduced a new policy on the land in Liaodong and land taxes. Some people may not be interested, but I still need to inform you so that you can know."
Isn’t there a policy? Yonggeng Power is already quite good. If the family is big enough and get land to operate, it will be a very high investment.
Although merchants were not so interested in land than gentry and landlords, they still listened quietly to Yang Runmin's announcement.
"Lands in Liaodong, Jilin Prefecture and Jilin Prefecture are northwards, and can be traded freely. The land of land reclamation will be paid half of the harvest and will be returned to you for three years..."
A low discussion sounded, which was even greater than Yonggeng Quan’s preferential treatment.
The ownership of the land is no longer the court, but the one. The restrictions on abandoning farming and abandoning wasteland have also been lifted, and the land belongs to me, and I will do whatever I want.
Businessmen seem to make a lot of money, but they are also risky. If you have land in hand, it means long-term and stable income, which is favored by the most conservative people.
"...The tenants recruited to farm, the rent and tax shall not be higher than the upper limit stipulated by the court..."
When everyone heard this policy, they couldn't help but exchanged their gazes, and they all showed a look of cognition or confusion.
Smart people immediately thought that the rigid regulations on rent and tax are the prerequisite for liberalizing land purchase and sale. Land annexation is the merger. The interests of tenants are protected by national laws and there will be no unbearable exploitation.
The key is that state-owned ownership is parallel, and the land in Liaodong is basically state-owned. There is also a policy of land reclamation and land granting, and the people there do not lack land to cultivate.
Oh, this is a long-term plan for the future. At the same time, it is also a restriction on landlords across the country and a protection for all tenants.
The land will become less and less. Except for large-scale wars and disasters, this trend will not change as the population increases.
But with this policy, even if the land annexation reaches a very serious level, tenants can live by labor.
This is a national policy for long-term stability! Many people sighed and secretly praised this policy for a long-term vision. Now that the empire is strong and the emperor is authoritative, will there be any landlords and gentry oppose and resist?
