Chapter 196

With [-]% of the land rent, Lin Zichu is poor and crazy!
"Chang Shi, expropriation of land rent is so heavy, it must not be done!" Tian Feng immediately objected, "Since ancient times, [-]% of the land renters have never been heard of! Please take it back!"

Excited, Tian Feng didn't even call out Lin Chaobiao's name, and directly referred to him as an official.

In his opinion, [-]% of the land rent is simply insane, especially if it suddenly rises from [-]/[-] to [-]%, the common people will never accept it!

However, Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, "Yuan Hao's words are wrong. Anyone who farms the land can be exempted from taxation. It's just [-]% of the land rent. Why make a fuss about it. Besides, I'll choose a place to try it out first. If there is something wrong It’s time to revise it.”

This account is actually very easy to calculate. Other taxes are rigid regulations, but land rent changes with time.

Harvest more in good years, less harvest in bad years, no matter how much grain people harvest, they will always only harvest half of it, and the remaining grain is enough for them to live on.

What's more, it is only a pilot project in the East China Sea. If feasible, it will be implemented in the whole Xuzhou.

Seeing that Lin Chao was unmoved, Tian Feng wanted to persuade him again, but Xun Chen stood up first.

"Zichu's strategy seems to increase the land rent, but in fact it benefits the people. Some people think it is a good strategy." Xun Chen said, "It's just that the land rent has been raised so much at once, and the people may not understand Zichu's good intentions. , if they don't want to farm, what should they do?"

The policy is good, but whether it can be implemented is also a question.

Today's common people don't know a single word, and you can't expect them to figure out what's going on by themselves.

From their point of view, if the land rent increases and the food they grow hard will decrease, they will definitely not be willing.

"Hmph, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so some people will be forced to farm the fields."

Guan Yu, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "If it is true what Zichu said, after the first batch of people get benefits, the resentment in their hearts will be eliminated, and the other people will follow suit."

Those who achieve great things do not care about small details, as long as there is a good result, the process naturally does not need to be too particular.

As much as these forced-conscripted people hate you now, they will be as grateful when the time comes.

All the people present were not pedantic, and they all agreed with Guan Yu's opinion.

Even the little transparent Jia Xu praised: "General Guan's words are reasonable, and the sages say that the people can follow them, but they can't make them know. Zichu's achievements in farming can be realized over time, so there is no need for the people to understand in a short time."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded again.

"No!"

Lin Chao shook his head, expressing his disapproval.

Everyone looked at him one after another, with doubts and incomprehension on their brows.

"If the people are unwilling, they will not be able to concentrate on farming, and the effect of farming will be greatly reduced. This is not what someone wants."

Lin Chao sighed softly, and continued to speak: "In a certain way, set up a Diannong Duwei, with a rank of two thousand shi, to be in charge of farming. Outside of talent, set up another department, which is responsible for listening to the wishes of the people and guiding the hearts of the people. "

"There is an old saying that the people are easy to abuse, but the gods are hard to bully. The newly opened yamen is called Shuntian Mansion. There is one man in the government, with a rank of one thousand stones, and two ministers in the house, six hundred stones. This time to sort out the hearts of the people, guide the people to spontaneously Shuntian Mansion will do the farming. It is important that most of the common people can understand the true meaning of this policy."

"Let's have a discussion about the candidates for Captain Diannong and the Order of Shuntian Mansion."

What Lin Chao said was not a discussion with everyone, but an order.

The policy of garrisoning the fields must be implemented, and the people must be able to garrison the fields clearly. This is the final decision made by the Lin Dynasty.

Now, it's a matter of choosing who will be in charge of implementing the policy.

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Tuntian is related to future taxation, money and food, so this Diannong Duwei must be an important task.

And the function of the newly established Shuntian Mansion was even more unheard of, and everyone didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

Lin Chao saw that everyone was neither talking nor recommending, so he smiled and said, "Why, you are all great talents in the world, don't you have any intention of worrying about Xuande?"

When he got angry, Tian Feng stood up immediately, and said to Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, don't be aggressive, even though I am not talented, I am willing to serve as the captain of the Diannong, and share my worries."

Tian Feng is upright, he doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, and he is willing to keep his feet on the ground. He is the best candidate for Captain Dian Nong, and Lin Chao intends to appoint him to this position.

Now that he has stood up by himself, Lin Chao naturally has a reason not to agree.

"Okay, the important task of farming the fields will be handed over to Yuan Hao."

"As ordered!"

Tian Feng clapped his hands in response.

Lin Chao said again: "There is also the Shuntian government decree, is there anyone willing to take it?"

Everyone was completely silent now.

If there are still people eager to take part in Captain Diannong, then no one wants to be in charge of the Shuntian Mansion Order.

This is a new department created by Lin Zichu. Everyone doesn't even know the responsibilities, so how dare they recommend or recommend themselves rashly. If they are incompetent, they will make others laugh at him.

Seeing that no one responded, Lin Chao could only order his generals.

"Jia Wenhe, from today onwards, you are the order of the Shuntian Mansion. As for the candidates for the two Fu Cheng, you can appoint them yourself."

"This……"

Hearing this, Jia Xu, who was eating melons and watching the show, couldn't help being taken aback.

"Chang Shi, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to be in charge of a certain talent, so I ask Chang Shi to hire someone else..."

He subconsciously wanted to decline, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Chao waving his hand.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's you."

You old foodie, old mille-feuille, you still want to be lazy at this time?
How can there be such a good thing!
Seeing Lin Chao's resolute attitude, Jia Xu could only cup his hands and say, "Obey!"

With regard to the people's livelihood in grassroots governance, there is only so much that can be done for the time being, and the rest depends on the effectiveness of farming and finding ways to weaken the aristocratic family.

However, these are not things that happen overnight.

After thinking about it, Lin Chao said again: "Zixu, Gongyi."

Lin Xi and Gao Shun immediately stood up, clasped their fists together and said, "Here!"

"How is the preparation and training of the trapped camp?" Lin Chao asked.

Gao Shun replied with a serious expression: "Back to the supervising army, the training time in the camp is still short, it is enough for the general army, but if you encounter the real elites, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch them."

"It's only been more than a month. It is due to righteousness that we can achieve such results." Lin Chao smiled and praised a few words, and continued, "But without blood, you will never be an elite."

"A certain order, starting tomorrow, you and Jun Ming will lead the camp to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos in Xuzhou."

Right now Xuzhou is not peaceful either, there are rogues everywhere, although the scale is not large, they have caused great troubles to the local people.

Now that people's livelihood management has been settled, it is imperative to eliminate bandits, and it should all be practiced by the trapped camp.

"Bandits and bandits are often good at hiding. Zixu, your school office will investigate the enemy's situation and help Jun Ming and Yiyi."

"As ordered!"

Lin Xi and Gao Shun clasped their fists together.
