Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 94 Manor Planning
I heard that the north of Hanshui is vast and sparsely populated. It would be hard to imagine if I hadn't been there.

If the scale of Dafeng Garden is like that, if it is placed in the capital, it is not because the price is not sky-high, but because you may not be able to buy it even if you have mountains of gold and silver.

For the manors located inside and outside the Jingling Mausoleum, the smaller ones occupy about ten hectares, the medium ones occupy tens of hectares, and more than a few hundred hectares are considered extravagant.

Land resources are tight, and all rich and rich land belongs to either the royal family or the top aristocratic families. In short, it is not the turn of others, let alone Jiang Fosang.

Although Dafeng Garden is not as exquisite as the other gardens in the Jingling Mausoleum, and there is a sense of roughness everywhere, it is huge enough to meet all Jiang Fosang's needs.

Satisfied is very satisfied, if you want to say that you are flattered, but you are not.

Firstly, compared with what she brought to Xiao Hu, these are just a drop in the bucket.No, it's a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, although this manor is privately owned by Xiao Hu, he may not have spent a single penny on it, it is very likely that it was donated by the local rich family after occupying the Jiyuan, and it is not considered bloodletting if he transfers it to himself.

Secondly, no matter how precious this manor is, she will not be able to take it away in the future, at most it can only become the chicken she borrowed to lay eggs.

In other words, the full value of Dafeng Garden to her lies in how much wealth can be created during the possession of the manor.

Jiang Fosang did not name the manor "Nongjiale" in the end, mainly because the existence of the manor may not be a joy to the farm.

The manors of the aristocratic landlords in the southern lands, except for the large gifts from the emperor, are generally obtained from the merger of common people's land.The slightly wider waters and fertile land were all plundered by the queen, consort and various nobles.

As a result, a large number of people were displaced in this kind of closed mountains and lakes, and then became tenants, tribes, and slaves. They had to become dependents of the clan, working and selling their lives for the clan on the land that once belonged to them.

This kind of occupation of mountains and Guze once reached the point of madness, so that the imperial court had to promulgate the "Occupation of Mountains Law" and "Occupation of Land Order".

The decree stipulates the amount of land occupied by officials at all levels, ranging from [-] hectares to [-] hectares according to the rank.It even stipulates that ordinary people can also occupy a hectare of mountains and rivers.

However, the common people do not have the privilege of tax exemption, and at the same time of occupying Shanze, it also became the basis for the imperial court to increase taxes on them.If it is not a wealthy family, who cannot afford high taxes, it is easy to refuse to take more.

The aristocratic clans, on the other hand, have the privilege of being exempt from taxes, and the decrees, which seem to be just, are only intended to make their privilege more legitimate.

According to my husband, this is the emperor's new clothes.It's just that no one dared to break it.

In fact, if you think about it for a while, you can see that at the moment when the imperial court is controlled by various clans, a decree that is detrimental to the interests of the noble clan is absolutely impossible to pass.It is self-evident that the Law of Occupying Mountains and the Order of Occupying Land can be implemented, whose interests are mainly protected.

Of course, these decrees are not useless, and they are also encouraging for ordinary bureaucrats and registered households.

For example, a husband and a wife can occupy [-] mu of private land according to the regulations, minus the tax payment of [-] mu of school land, and work on the rest more diligently, barely able to support the whole family.

Except for those people on the top of the tower, they still go their own way, even crazier...

Jiang Fosang didn't know which part the Jiang family belonged to, it wasn't at the top of the tower, but it wasn't at the bottom either.

Most of the Jiang family's manors were purchased when the land price was the cheapest when they first arrived in Nandi. Later, when the land occupation order was issued, uncles and aunts also occupied some "according to the law".

She once asked her husband whether it was an invasion of common people's land if she bought it with her own money.

The husband said that if it is purely from a personal point of view, it does not count.

"Relying on personal conscience can't save the overall situation. Although there is no harm if there is no transaction, the more important thing is to find out what caused and allowed the existence of this transaction."

Jiang Fosang may have understood it, but she was powerless to change it.

Even, she had to follow the old path of the family.

Whether she bought the manor with her own money or accepted Xiao Hu's gift, she couldn't guarantee that there would be no forced displaced farmers on this land...

So I can only comfort myself: Even if I don't take over, other big clans will take over, and these lands still won't reach the hands of the people.

With her, at least those people can live easier.

If there is something that can better improve their living environment, she is willing to try, but for the time being, that is all she can do.

Let alone the large-scale release of slaves and exempting them, she can't do it right now, otherwise she will be as good as Lin, and Xiao Hu will be beaten in the face.

Even if she risked her life, these people have no land and no ability to survive, and sooner or later they will become slaves of his surname.

If the root problem is not resolved, nothing will help.

Jiang Fosang learned from Feng Quan that besides the [-] slaves and the [-] operas, there are also a number of tenants in the village, most of whom were destroyed by the war and voluntarily attached themselves after being exiled in Jiyuan.

After Binzhou was attached to the imperial court, the land occupation order was also implemented.

Occupying mountains and swamps is not very common in the north. Years of wars have resulted in the loss of more than half of the population in the north. There is no shortage of land. The number of fields per person is even more than that in the south. The government also encourages everyone to cultivate .

Most people were indeed inspired, and the wasteland in many places was reclaimed.

However, there are also a small number of people who are not very motivated.

So what does owning their own land look like to them?With the chaos of war, hard work will go to waste.

Moreover, the court tax is still so heavy. After weighing it, everyone felt that it would be better to add the household registration to the household registration of the manor owner.

In this way, the taxes and corvees imposed by the imperial court can be avoided. Although taxes must also be paid to the manor owner, at least it can be exchanged for the manor owner's shade...

Jiang Fosang didn't say anything.I am afraid that the pain and uncertainty left by the war can only be truly wiped out and forgotten when the world is unified.

"Order to go down, the people around the mountains and lakes must not be prohibited from collecting woodcutters."

"This..." Feng Quan was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's against the rules."

Jiang Fosang didn't explain too much: "You just do what I tell you."

Feng Quan had no choice but to accept the order.

In the next few days, Jiang Fosang and Liang Shuo re-planned the manor together.

The existing farmland, vegetable gardens, orchards, pastures and casting workshops are all preserved and are still in charge of Feng Quan.

Sericulture was assigned to Liaozuo, and pottery, porcelain, woodwork, and gold and jade works were set up separately, all of which were under the jurisdiction of Liangshuo.

Faced with this heavy burden, Liang Shuo was gearing up for it, but also had some concerns: "My lady, Feng Dianji's side..."

Jiang Fosang glanced at him.

Liang Shuo cleared his throat, and said nothing further: "I will fulfill my mission!"

Jiang Fosang nodded, "Immediately dispatch workers, not only to build a workshop, but also to build a dormitory. After the construction is completed, all the craftsmen from the other garden will be moved in."

"promise!"

Liang Shuo has a different opinion about the current female monarch.

Although Nujun called him a baby brother, due to his status, he never dared to really regard Nujun as his younger sister. He just wanted to take care of her as much as possible according to an instinct and his mother's instructions.

But I don't know when, the female monarch no longer needs his care.

She has her own ideas, sees everything clearly, and has a clear plan for everything.He just has to do what he says.

If what happened to the Xu Mansion just surprised him, then his feelings during this trip were not even enough to describe his horror.

According to the detection, the sacrificial mountain is only a corner of the copper mountain, and the copper mine spreads underground and covers a wider area.And with their financial resources, even if they find it, they can't afford it.

Before he left, he was worried about this, but the lady told him simply, just buy Jishan.

Afterwards, Liang Shuo realized that the female monarch had no intention of monopolizing Tongshan at all, so she dedicated the mountain to Xiao Cishi after changing hands.

To the outside world, she only said that she couldn't understand the mine veins, thinking that Jishan was everything.With a lot of "filial piety", who would doubt it?
However, after Governor Xiao ordered people to investigate, if he wanted to get all the copper mines, he would think of another way.

Selling the biggest good at a very small price and maximizing the benefits obtained, these calculations make even Liang Shuo, who claims to be familiar with the world, feel ashamed.

While lamenting the speed of the female gentleman's growth, I also have a sense of urgency, reminding myself to do my best.
