Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 75 Income and Expenditure in the Park ([-])
Of course, Zhang Jin didn't mean to be "strong" or "angry", but to persuade him not to do stupid things.

"Master Biao, this must never be done!" Zhang Jin was so anxious that veins appeared on his face: "These lands have never appeared in the yellow book, although you don't care about 30 taels of silver this year, Master Biao. But Master Biao, you have to think about it, does the master care about this mere 30 taels a year? Why did the master say nothing about this? Master Biao, if you really suddenly take these fields to the local government, how do you explain that these fields are Where did it come from? Did you newly reclaim it yourself? Doesn’t make sense? I can only admit that these fields have been inherited all the way from the previous owner!”

Gao Yushi looked at him seriously, but didn't speak.

Zhang Jin knew that Gao Wushi hadn't understood the key point, so he took a deep breath and continued: "Then this way, the involvement will be far away. At the earliest, Wang Zhi could be involved. Of course, Wang Zhi has been killed for many years. It doesn't matter if you get involved, but who will be involved next, have you thought about it?"

Gao Wushi frowned: "Mr. Xie Wenzheng (Xie Qian)?"

Hmm... If a sage-level civil servant with the posthumous title of "Wenzheng" is involved, this problem is indeed a bit big.

"That's all trivial!" Zhang Jin said anxiously: "This place has been in the hands of Emperor Xianzong for several years from Wang Zhi. Xie Wenzheng was given this other courtyard by Emperor Xianzong, but there is a problem. The reason is...Emperor Xianzong never said a word about Yintian!"

As soon as this statement came out.Gao Wushi froze immediately.

The land here, when it was in the hands of Emperor Xianzong, did not declare Yintian, but it was directly transferred to Xie Qian?

It is conceivable that even if Xie Qian found out the tricks in Yin Tian, ​​he would not be able to say it even if he himself was poor and happy, because once he said it, wouldn't he slap the emperor in the face?

I'm depreesed!
Gao Yushi feels that his view of the country will be shattered!No matter how you say this world belongs to the emperor, but even the emperor himself conceals the hidden field!

Why are you so reluctant to give up this little benefit, just list it directly as Huangzhuang, and it's over, you hide the report, hidden field!

It's no wonder that people all over the world are playing tricks on the field issue, and you, the royal family, are not clean here. It's really not right up and down!

Gao Yushi suddenly felt a sense of frustration—Is it just wishful thinking for me to think so hard about saving my life?
But after thinking about it, he still plans to give up thinking about this too big a topic, because he really doesn't want to use violence to "promote social development". It goes against his most basic world outlook and social outlook.

As long as there is still a chance, he refuses to give up peaceful means to achieve his goals.

As for violent means, Gao Pragmatism is not without it, but that is what he intends to leave for outsiders to enjoy!
The Chinese nation must unite with the outside world.

Of course, he doesn't mind that the scope of the Chinese nation is wider, but the premise is very clear. You must recognize your identity as a "Chinese nation" from the bottom of your heart, and then I will regard you as one of my own and agree with you to the outside world.

Well, this statement is a bit general and empty, so to put it simply: Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!

Follow me, I am a very magnanimous person, I can even regard you and me as one, your interests are my interests, and my interests are your interests, we can agree to the outside world.

If you go against me, then feel sorry for me, I am actually very irritable, since you refuse to join my "Chinese" big family, but you are willing to be a barbarian, then I will definitely not bully you I won't stop!

Although the Ming Dynasty had problems of one kind or another, such a dynasty with such backbone, a dynasty that "got the most righteous country" because of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China", should not be abandoned at will.

Of course, these are all things for later, the immediate problem is that the imperial court is still saved, but the hidden fields in his hands cannot be declared to be included in the yellow book.

Gao Wushi suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Jin: "These words just now...you tell me honestly, did my uncle tell you to tell me this?"

Zhang Jin resolutely admitted: "Yes, the master told the villain, if the young master Biao didn't ask, it was nothing. If the young master Biao asked, he would tell you the reasons."

Gao Wushi sighed, he is still young!

Not to mention anything else, at least my understanding of this era, although I have been here for eight years, is still far behind those favored children who live in this era.

Hidden fields that concealed the report failed, Gao Wushi had no choice but to turn his mind back to his previous thinking, and asked: "Can the output of these fields support so many people in this other courtyard?"

Zhang Jin thought for a while and said, "That depends on how you define this offering."

"What do you mean?" Gao Wushi frowned slightly: "Providing is naturally feeding—is the food produced in these lands enough to feed the servants and long-term tenants under my hands?"

Zhang Jin shook his head and said, "Young Master Biao, you may be thinking about it."

"Huh?" Gao Wushi didn't understand: "What did I think wrong?"

"Households and servants, whether male or female, even their sons and daughters, do depend on you to support them, and the output from these fields, the part you can collect is completely enough to feed them. "

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, and said: "Then what did I want to go wrong? Isn't this very good, my Sanshen Garden doesn't seem to need me to put money into it."

Zhang Jin explained: "But you also mentioned the long-term tenant workers."

"Oh?" Gao Wushi thought for a while, "I don't think the tenants will be raised by me, right? I just collect part of the rent from them, and they keep a surplus for themselves."

"In fact, their surplus food is only enough to eat when the situation is good, but it will be enough when there is a flood, drought or locust plague. So at that time, I will probably ask you to subsidize them... Of course, you can also ignore them , but this... may cause people to abandon the desert and flee."

Uh... It seems that landlords are not so easy to be?
But Gao Wushi suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What percentage are we collecting rent at the moment?"

Zhang Jin said: "Master is kind, our family only collects [-]% of the rent."

Gao Wu said sincerely: Well, we don't have to pay only 4% of the imperial grain, but we can collect [-]% of the rent, which is still benevolent.

But here he really misunderstood. There are quite a lot of people who collect [-]% of the land rent near Gyeonggi, but in some areas in the south or some upper fields, there are many people who collect [-]% of the rent, and some even receive such an exaggerated [-]%.

But Zhang Jin continued: "But apart from land rent, we also have some other income. For example, we can collect part of the loan money for seeds and farm tools. In addition, during the slack season, it doesn't cost money to call tenants to come to the house to do some things. of."

Gao Wushi's face was dull, and there are such good things?Seed farm tools and so on are also understandable, but the tenants are still being used as free labor?
He suddenly felt that his thinking might need to be expanded, so he hurriedly asked: "Let them do the work, why should the long-term and part-time workers go?"

Zhang Jin said: "Some things still need to be done by long-term and part-time workers, especially some handicrafts. In addition, our family usually doesn't order tenants when the farming season is busy."

Oh, that's right, that's right.

But Zhang Jin said again: "The tenants can say, even if we are kinder in their hands, at least we won't lose a lot of money to go in. Long-term and short-term work will really cost money."

This is natural, Gao Wushi felt a little downhearted, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand roughly, you just tell me, at present, my Sanshen Garden is subsidizing money every year or making a surplus, just fine."

Zhang Jin showed a slight smile: "Master Hao Jiaobiao learned that Sanshen Garden can earn more than 300 taels of silver every year without major work."
