Destiny Only Han

Chapter 885 Liu Ying: Balance exists among all things!

On the coast of the Yellow Sea, Qing County.

Although it is midsummer at this time, under the salty and slightly humid wind blowing by the sea, it gives people a feeling that they are still in spring.

On the coast, the large sandy beach surrounded by the Royal Villa retains the original and most primitive purity, the sand is fine and even, and the sun shines silver, like a silver plate inlaid on blue silk.

Liu Ying stood barefoot on the beach, facing the sea with her hands on her hips, and chanted softly in silence for a long time.

"O sea, you are all water..."

Behind him, Zhang Buyi was full of confusion.

He was ready to record Liu Ying reciting a poem, but he didn't expect Liu Ying to hold back for a long time before saying such a sentence...

Liu Lang's talents are exhausted... Zhang Buyi shook his head and sighed softly.

But the group of second-generation Gonghou who accompanied the driver didn't think so. They talked a lot, and they deliberately let go of their voices so that their voices would not be drowned out by the sound of the waves.

"Your Majesty's words are deafening, and one word breaks the secret, it is really wonderful..."

"Extremely, extremely..."

"Of course also..."

……

Liu Ying immediately walked back contentedly.

Today's water play is over, and the rest is all boring and necessary work time.

Liu Ying turned her head slightly, looked at Zhang Buqi and asked: "I asked you to read the yellow books of last year's land in the counties of the Central Plains, and the stamp duty amount for the land deed tax. Can you send it?"

Zhang Buyi nodded, then asked sideways, "What are you looking at?"

Liu Ying lowered her voice: "In the year of the catastrophe, it's just a matter of prevention."

Zhang Buyi was silent for a while, and frowned: "Isn't it... You have already paid for the tax reduction and exemption for farmers? They don't need to bear the tax anymore, so wait until the water in the field recedes and tidy up a little bit. You can’t sell the land if you plant some corn and sweet potatoes!”

Liu Ying took two quick steps forward, distanced herself from the land nobles behind her, so as not to be heard by the other party, and at the same time signaled Zhang Buyi to follow with her eyes.

"You know, the philosophy I've been upholding over the years is not to suppress mergers."

"After all, today's big man has enough factories that can provide enough jobs, so that those farmers who sell their land will also have the opportunity to support their families with their own hands..."

Zhang Buyi nodded in agreement.

After all, he has run many factories over the years and has a deep understanding of this.

The important thing is that landless peasants do not have the power to negotiate prices of labor, so that the cost of industrial production can be lowered, and then lowered...

Well, this low is relative.

Landless peasants who do not have the slightest means of production get remunerated in the factory, which is much higher than the meager one-third of an acre of land they operate in their hometown. After all, although the government grants land, it has no power or authority. It is conceivable what kind of barren land ordinary people can get.

Therefore, on the basis of retaining the granted land, that is, retaining their household registration status as a farmer who is superior to merchants and craftsmen, they abandoned the granted land covered with rocks and thorns, and sold the few mu of Susukida that had been cultivated by generations of hard work. Then choose to move the whole family to work in the city.

And this kind of landless peasants without the slightest means of production became the object of competition for factory owners like Zhang Buyi.

Of course, this kind of scrambling will not allow them to get more wages...

After all, landless peasants without the slightest means of production can only obtain food by selling their labor power, so they cannot afford to consume it. Compared with landless peasants who are in a mess, factory owners will obviously be more united at certain times.

This can be seen from the fact that they jointly drive out those self-cultivated farmers who own land and houses from the factory...

the reason is simple.

Owner farmers have a way out, so they have the bargaining power of labor force. What is important is that they have to take regular leave every year to go home to guide and supervise mediocre farmers sowing or harvesting crops.

Liu Ying, spokesperson for the big capitalists of the reactionary faction, continued: "My so-called precautions against the passing of time are for the purpose of governing officials."

Zhang Buyi followed Liu Ying and asked out of breath, "What do you mean?"

The little boy's face is vain... Liu Ying complained in her heart, and said in a low voice:

"Because what I mean by not suppressing mergers is not to restrict the free sale of land by the people. There are eight hundred owners of millennium fields. Since the well-field system ceased to exist in the Spring and Autumn Period, farmland has become a commodity that can be traded."

"But now it seems that this kind of transaction has not had much impact on today's big man."

"On the contrary, the emergence of large farms has made the society more stable. Although the grain yield per mu has decreased compared with the previous intensive farming, the overall cost is also much lower. This is why the population has grown rapidly in recent years, but the grain price has remained stable. s reason."

"The Dahan's local food is abundant, and it has the qualifications to negotiate with overseas planters and farmers, especially in countries like Shendu. In many cases, their kings and lords will even use lower cost prices than ours. Sell ​​our grain at the price."

"That's why I don't feel sorry for the seller. Anyway, the grain they sell to us is forcibly expropriated from farmers. As long as the money sold is higher than their administrative costs, they will make money..."

Zhang Buyi was stunned for a moment, and silently gave a thumbs up.

Liu Ying smiled proudly: "After the price of food is stabilized, mergers can be suppressed even more. After all, the purpose of suppressing mergers is to enable the people to have the ability to support their families, but it is obviously unnecessary now."

"After all, we have now stepped into the industrial society with one foot, which is a major change unseen in 5000 years..."

Zhang Buyi groaned a few words, 'A major change unseen in 5000 years', squinting his eyes and lost in thought.

The corners of Liu Ying's lips raised slightly.

En Dabeard, the father of the great mentor, once said that the rapid development of industry has created a need for manpower; wages have increased, and workers have poured into cities from agricultural areas in droves.

According to the ancient philosophy, the most ideal state for a family of five is to have one hundred acres of land, but this is only an ideal. After all, in a densely populated place like the Central Plains, even in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods where wars were frequent, the population was only tens of millions. It is impossible to do it in the period of the first grade.

For example, Chen Ping, when he was young, his family only had [-] mu of land. Later, he married Wushou Bai Fumei, and after eating his wife's soft food, he slowly developed...

Therefore, not suppressing mergers is a disguised form of encouraging poor people like Chen Ping who have no soft food to live in a different way of life.

Be a useful screw and contribute to Dahan's industrialization process...

In Zhang Buyi's somewhat puzzled eyes, Liu Ying nodded her head as a matter of course, and then said: "It is allowed to annex land at a normal price, but corrupt officials who use power to annex land will be hit hard with an iron fist!"

"That's why I asked you to transfer the stamp duty file."

"With the previous data on the price per acre, and then use it as a reference with this year's price per acre, and then send a censor to inspect it, the moths will have nowhere to hide!"

Zhang Buyi applauded very cooperatively.

In fact, he was somewhat disapproving. Liu Ying's plan was perfect. After all, the amount of stamp duty for the land-mu transaction was [-]/[-] of the price of the field. Therefore, if corrupt officials falsified and made two yin and yang land-mu transaction contracts, wait until the dispatched censor opened it' After the "Master Qingtian" mode, it's time for the tiger-headed hero to debut...

But the crux of the problem is that the censor is also a human being, and the officialdom is full of sophistication.

Therefore, he is not optimistic about Liu Ying's next plan.

But at the same time, he is also very clear that not all corrupt officials have a protective umbrella, so when the censor goes out of the town, he will always catch a few typical ones to clarify the laws of the country, so as to imitate others...

Although, this is nothing more than a wildfire that burns endlessly, and the spring breeze blows again...

Liu Ying looked at Zhang Buyi's expression, smiled lightly and didn't say much, but a few words appeared in her heart again.

The cognitive limitations of the ancients.

When many nobles, including Zhang Buyi, were still thinking about Shiqing and Shilu, a small sapling that Liu Ying had planted many years ago was now flourishing, gradually gaining some momentum .

A poor family, the second official.

It is undeniable that they also corrupt.

But compared with those officials who are in high positions because of blood ties, these emerging classes of civilians are somewhat idealistic.

So, the little boy knows what a fart... Liu Ying no longer restrained the disdain on his face.

....................................

Qing County, the county seat.

There are many high-rise buildings here, and high-rise buildings with more than five floors can be seen everywhere!

The river is wide and it is not easy to build bridges.

This has led to the fact that the southernmost end of the railway from Chang'an only goes to Nanjun, but the railway from Chang'an can go all the way to the coast of the East China Sea!
Therefore, with the tilt of the policy, coupled with the unique geographical environment here, this small fishing village that was once unknown and sparsely populated has quickly become the brightest pearl in the north of Dahan.

Whether it is business or industry, in many cases, it is no longer inferior to the capital of the Han Empire, Chang'an.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Qing County not only superimposes the Qingdao of later generations, but also equals the sum of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, China and the latter three!

Therefore, even Lu Yu, Xu negative and others who were used to the prosperity of Chang'an were amazed again and again.

In particular, the roads here are wide and straight, the traffic is well-developed, and horse-drawn carriages can be seen everywhere. Moreover, unlike the public carriages in Chang'an City, Qing County uses horse-drawn carriages because of its more reasonable planning.

Liu Le led the sister group formed by Liu Ying's family members, walked out of the public carriage familiarly, and walked into a jewelry shop with the logo of a phoenix spreading wings on the door plaque under the faint guard of many fighters in plain clothes.

The former owner of this chain store that is spread all over the big man was Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi was busy raising his grandchildren in the early years, so he transferred a lot of shares to those top ladies in Chang'an City.

But what she doesn't know is that in the past two years, Liu Le has become the largest shareholder through various means...

Therefore, Liu Le, who was standing in the aura of jewels at this moment, immediately raised his hand very proudly.

"Just take it, I'll pay the bill!"

Just, showing the face of an upstart.
