Chapter 767 The Method of Repurchasing Fields
At this time, Li Yuanming habitually glanced at Da Situ over there. He didn't believe that Da Situ couldn't understand Chu Xian's "ignorance". What a stupid idea the government paid to buy back the land. After hearing this, the famous Da Situ would probably turn pale with anger.

What surprised Li Yuanming was that Da Situ's expression didn't change at all, as if he wasn't moved at all.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanming felt something was wrong.

In the current situation, Chu Xian is looking for a dead end. After such a big battle and a lot of talk, he finally came up with a method that is so impossible to implement and implement. This is simply incompetent , if I were Da Situ, it would be impossible for me to be unresponsive.

Unless, the other party still has support.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in Li Yuanming's heart became more and more intense. Thinking about it again, no matter how stupid Chu Xian was, it was impossible for him to propose it deliberately knowing that this method would not work.

Is Chu Xian the kind of person who acts recklessly?

Li Yuanming shook his head, absolutely not, Chu Xian is very shrewd, and even more 'scheming', among other things, compared to Liu Jiwen and Chu Xian, Liu Jiwen is far inferior.

Then how could Chu Xian make a mistake that even Liu Jiwen wouldn't make?

"Could it be that Chu Xian really has a way to buy back the land? How is this possible?" No matter how he thought about it, Li Yuanming found it impossible, and with his intelligence, he still couldn't think of a solution.

In order to abolish private ownership of land and maintain stability, force cannot be used, and large landlords in various places cannot hand over their ancestral land in vain, so buying it with gold and silver is the most basic solution.

So where did the money come from?

Although the Holy Dynasty is rich, it has a large land and a large population, and its expenses are quite huge. It is impossible for the Ministry of Households to get so much gold and silver from the people who have no land?This is simply impossible, they simply can't afford that much money, even if they can, it's just a drop in the bucket and can't solve any problems.

So this is the biggest obstacle and an unsolvable deadlock.

It’s not that many sages of the holy pilgrimage didn’t think about this method before, but most of them were blocked at this step and couldn’t go on. Big problem.

Another point, even if there is money, what can the government do if those people who have a lot of real estate don't sell their land?Is it to force the other party to buy and sell by force?
These are difficult problems to solve.

These years were just a flash in Li Yuanming's mind. At this time, Chu Xian began to respond.

"The thing Shang Shu worried about is indeed true, but please don't worry about it, because Chu Xian already has a way to deal with it."

Chu Xian looked confident.

The curiosity of the officials at this time was also pushed to the limit. Obviously, almost all the officials were curious about what Chu Xian could do to solve this near-dead situation.

Li Yuanming's expression remained unchanged, and he asked: "Then tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

Those who are impatient are already anxiously scratching their heads. If Chu Xian's official position is not too high, and he is also a member of the Shoufu Pavilion, he may have already opened his mouth to urge him.

Chu Xian said at this time: "This method is actually simple. The Holy Dynasty and the local government do not need to spend real money. They only need to issue gold and silver letter notes to solve the urgent need."

All the officials were in a daze, and most of the officials at the first and auxiliary cabinet level were dumbfounded, not knowing what the so-called gold and silver letters were.

Chu Xian then began to explain: "Gold and silver letter tickets can be regarded as silver borrowed by the government from the people. Chu here has a detailed implementation bill, which lists the contents in detail. The time limit is one to three years. The people can buy it. At present, the silver interest given by the banks in various states is almost one cent, and the same is true for our official banks, so the gold and silver letter notes can be increased a little. From the current point of view, it is most appropriate to set it at one cent and two, so a little more profit, The common people and those big landlords have nothing to say, and they are all profitable."

After Chu Xian's explanation, everyone understood it.

To put it bluntly, the government borrows money from the people, buys the land of the landlords of the people, and then distributes it to the landless people, collects rent, and collects tax money. This is a virtuous circle. After the deadline, it will be given to those who come to exchange the money. Back and forth, the plate will be revived.

Those who understand can immediately see the ingenuity of this method, it is simply indescribable and incomparably superb.

There are also some people who have outdated ideas and feel that it is inappropriate. What's more, they just shook their heads and said: "It's ridiculous, how can the government condescend to borrow money from the people, it is simply ridiculous."

All of a sudden, hundreds of officials in the court began to discuss, expressing their views and opinions.

Chu Xian is not in a hurry, what should be thrown out has already been thrown out, and what to do next depends on whether he can persuade all the officials to promote this reform bill.

You must know that Chu Xian's idea was not just an idea, it was carefully calculated by Chu Xian. For this reason, Chu Xian summoned dozens of officials who are proficient in calculations in the Ministry of Finance, and it has already been calculated a lot Second-rate.For issues such as whether the money will be repaid at that time, Chu Xian already has a way to deal with it.

Now, Chu Xian is waiting for someone to bring it up.

Over there, Li Yuanming pondered, his heart was full of shock.

It's really shocking.

Let's not talk about whether Chu Xian's method will be successful in the end, just talk about this idea, which is eye-catching, and if you think about it carefully, this may be the best and only way.

"How did this Chu Xian come up with such a fantastic idea?" Li Yuanming thought to himself, he finally understood why Da Situ was so calm.

Because of this method, Chu Xian must have told Da Situ early in the morning.

This Chu Xian is also very spirited, when he reported to himself, he didn't mention a single word. Obviously, the other party knew that he might hinder and oppose him, so he kept a hand.

Up to now, the direction of the court meeting has changed somewhat, and Li Yuanming has to admit in his heart that Chu Xian's method of change can really be tried.

But I still can't pass.

This can be regarded as his insistence. Li Yuanming is not willing to "succumb" to a little Chu Xian like this, and he is even more unwilling to admit that his governance philosophy of the previous decades was "wrong".

If that's the case, I'm afraid that my footsteps in Shoufu Pavilion, official career, and officialdom will stop here.

He is still only a second-rank Shangshuling now, and he still wants to go further. Naturally, he hopes to be the last to become a first-rank great immortal official and sit at the head of the Shoufu Pavilion.

If the political ideas and concepts he has been adhering to are wrong, it is conceivable that it is unknown whether he can continue to sit in this position of Shang Shuling.

Therefore, for their own sake, it is impossible to 'admit defeat'.

"Chu Xian, this method of yours seems to be a fantastic idea, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it will not work at all." Li Yuanming can't care so much at this time. Chu Xian's eloquence is very good, and others can't deal with it. You can only deal with it yourself.

Chu Xian hurriedly said respectfully: "Chu Xian is all ears."

Li Yuanming nodded, and said in a serious manner: "It's not that the government condescends to borrow money from the people to lose face. This point is nothing. The problem is that if there is not so much gold and silver at that time, the people come to exchange the silver and cannot give it. Then have you ever thought about what the consequences would be, it would break the trust of the people, Chu Xian, you can't tear down the east to make up for the west when you do things, and in this regard, what you did was inappropriate."

All the officials nodded when they heard it. Li Yuanming was right. Although borrowing money from the common people can promote land changes, the borrowing money must be repaid after all.

If it is not up to then, breaking the trust of the people is a trivial matter, and I am afraid that the world will be in chaos and the hearts of the people will be betrayed.

If something like this happens, no one can bear the responsibility.

In Li Yuanming's accusation, in his opinion, it is absolutely possible to hit the target. After all, no one can say clearly about this kind of thing, and there is no way to predict it. Moreover, it is impossible for the Shoufu Pavilion to pass such a "gambling" reform bill.

Li Yuanming felt that at this point, although Chu Xian was good enough, he was the one who won in the end.

Unexpectedly, with a wave of Chu Xian's big sleeve, countless papers floated out, floating in the sky above the court, looking like stars.

Listen to what Chu Xian said again: "My lords, this is the result calculated by Chu Xian and 37 officials from the Ministry of Households in the past three months, including the increase in taxation and silver after the implementation of the reform bill. The people have money in their hands. Those landlords The silver in the hands of the big households is even more piled up like a mountain. Presumably, most people will open banks and invest in other banks, which can promote industries such as industry and commerce. The world will prosper, and various banks will rise. It doesn't take a year, but at most ten months, [-]% of the gold and silver can be recovered for exchange. Even if there are some errors, or even taking a step back, the recovered gold and silver are not enough, but only need to transfer some official bank silver taels, which is enough to deal with it. Although the belt needs to be tightened for a period of time to live, it will be beneficial and harmless in the long run. In this way, supplemented by increasing the hundred-field tax, compulsorily reducing the amount of money for renting out private land, and strictly controlling it, those big landlords do not want to sell their land. No way, human nature seeks profit, but if there is no profit, or even becomes a burden, no matter who it is, it will obey the new land system.”

Chu Xuan finished speaking in one breath. Afterwards, the court meeting was unexpectedly quiet. Looking at it again, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The first person to speak was actually Hubu Shangshu.

This Minister of the Household Department has been suppressed by Li Yuanming, Minister of the Ministry, and has not dared to express his position since the beginning of this court meeting. At this moment, he finally couldn't help speaking.

The person in charge of the household department naturally has a deep understanding of the affairs Chu Xian said. It can be said that he is the first person who can understand Chu Xian's intentions, and the first person who can see how superb Chu Xian's move is.

Chu Xian's method has almost perfectly solved all the previous problems, and solved the biggest obstacles and troubles. The remaining minor problems, as long as they are implemented properly, will not become problems.The most important thing is that Chu Xian's method is really feasible. For Hubu Shangshu, he felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened, so he couldn't help but praise it.
