In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 264 The Landlord's Households Are Returned in Full, and the Common People's Households' Accounts Are Divided

Only then did he come to his senses, today is the day when the imperial court has ten days off and one day off.

After Zhao Yurui came to power, they decided to take one day off every ten days. Each ministry took turns to keep one person on duty, and the rest of the officials could have one day off.

No wonder everyone came to sell fields today, but later found that there were officials who came to buy fields.

Not all officials believe that land prices will fall, and most officials still believe that it is profitable now.

In addition to some officials, there were also some landlords at the scene, some of them might be land collectors, and some might be land sellers.

Lieutenant Liu Batai was also present.

He looked to be in his 40s, dressed in fine clothes, and was playing with a string of small prayer beads in his hand.

The scene was noisy. Some people said that there would be no heavy taxes next year. If the officials wanted to do this, wouldn't they offend the landlords all over the world?
Some people also say that the officials have already offended the people by measuring the grain fields, and they are still afraid. The officials have knives in their hands. You have never seen the officials kill people at the main gate of Li.

There is also humanity, even if there is a heavy tax, what are you afraid of?Is it possible that I have three stones of grain per acre of land, and will he receive three stones?It is impossible to lose money, so what to be afraid of, don't sell.

Zhao Rushu thought to himself, based on what he knew about Zhao Yurui, it is really possible for Zhao and Rui to collect four and five shi for an acre of land that yields three shi. Zhao Yurui's goal is to prevent officials and landlords from hoarding land.

The emperor is trying to find ways to let the fields in the world be averaged into the hands of the people in the world.

Zhao Rushu knew Zhao Yurui too well, and he definitely had to pay heavy taxes.

Zhao and Rui talked about the seriousness of land annexation in the court more than once, and now the best way to prevent land annexation is to impose heavy taxes, until the landlords feel heartbroken and have to sell the land.

He listened on the sidelines and found that Liu Ba Taiwei was more expensive than Sihai shops.

Fifty guan for the upper-grade fields and fifteen guans for the lower-grade fields.

This price is not low outside of Lin'an and Liangzhe, but the Tianguo near Lin'an is the most expensive. There is really no way, so the price is relatively low now.

There were also two rich merchants and landowners at the scene, who were reaping the same land as Liu Ba Taiwei, and the prices were similar.

Then it depends on the distance of the distance, whether it is convenient or not, a little addition or subtraction.

Zhao Rushu found a big landlord named Zhou.

The ancestor of this Zhou Daguan was prominent in the Six Dynasties. Everyone has heard of Zhou Chu, one of the three evils in the Western Jin Dynasty (Zhou Chu, Tiger, and Changjiao). , there are countless people in the clan who have served as prefects. When Zhezong of the Song Dynasty arrived, Zhou Kuilei of the Zhou family paid homage to political affairs, had the power to know the affairs of the Privy Council, and reached the level of prime minister.

This Zhou family was a famous family from the Three Kingdoms to the Song Dynasty, and they were quite impressive.

Zhou Daguan's family has more than 6000 mu of land, which ranks among the top three in Lin'an City.

Even the Qin family doesn't have as many fields as his family.

This guy doesn't believe in evil. My Zhou family has been passed down for thousands of years from the Three Kingdoms to the Song Dynasty. I have never heard of an emperor who wants to confiscate the land of the landlord and impose heavy taxes.

Since ancient times, taxes have been collected from the common people. The landowners' taxes were paid back in full, and the common people's families were divided into [-]% and [-]%. Which ruler doesn't understand this principle?
The officials of the Zhou Dynasty believed that the emperor was putting on a show, and in the end he still wanted to impose heavy taxes on the common people.

Besides, how much can your tax be?I don't believe that you receive one stone per acre of land, even if you charge one stone, I produce three stones per mu of land, and besides giving to the tenants, I still earn some money.

Zhou Daguan and Liu Bataiwei were the largest landowners in Lin'an, and they were also the people who least believed that the emperor would do such a thing.

And he has a farm relatively close to Zhao Rushu's grain fields. In that farm, he stores more than [-] shi of grain all year round.

So Zhou Daguan increased the price to Zhao Rushu, 52 guan for high-grade fields and [-] guan for low-grade fields.

Zhao Rushu was overjoyed and quickly sold it.

He himself had more than 2000 two hundred acres of land. After thinking about the emperor's mind, he sold more than 1000 acres and kept 1000 two hundred acres.

After the sale, he was a little bit pained, but thinking about Zhao Yurui's style of doing things, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

In this way, I got more than 4 guan, so I definitely can't put so much money at home.
When Zhao Rushu and Liang Chengda came out, they both sold their fields. Of course, the procedures would be more troublesome. Originally, the imperial court had to redo the "anvil base book", but now it will be based on Fujian's, and later it will be changed to a private land certificate. So the two parties first signed the contract, took part of the deposit, and waited for the handover.

After the two came out, they looked at each other first, and then sighed secretly at the same time.

After Zhao Yurui ascended the throne, he treated officials very well. The overall wages and benefits were slightly increased. Civilian officials received less pay, while military attachés received more.

However, the matter of clearing grain fields and preparing to collect taxes still dealt a heavy blow to those officials who had more land.

Liang Chengda looked at Zhao Rushu, shook his head and said, "I think His Majesty will have to re-collect business tax sooner or later."

Zhao Rushu's heart skipped a beat. There are quite a few shops in his house.

Zhao Rushu immediately said: "I seem to have heard that the Imperial Guards of the Imperial City Department are registering all the shops in the capital one by one."

Yuan Mihai used to be in charge of several of his shops, and they all received news of Jin Yiwei's visit. Of course, this meeting didn't mention tax collection, but just registered some information about the shops, who the owner is, how big the area is, and so on.

Zhao Rushu heard what Liang Chengda said, and felt that it might be true. Maybe the emperor would collect business taxes in the next step.

"Damn." He couldn't help it anymore: "When will it be the first time?"

When Shi Miyuan fell from power, he was afraid of being liquidated. Zhao Yurui saw that his relatives didn't mess with him, so he was promoted.

But thinking about it now, it's getting worse and worse.

Liang Chengda was about to say something.

Suddenly, a group of teenagers on the side of the street ran over with sweat under the sun, shouting as they ran.

"The great landowner of Xinzhou, Zhao Ruzhi, confronted the imperial court, concealed the grain fields, made a decisive decision—defeated the decision, and seized the whole family—"

The teenagers hold the notices in their hands and usually run around the crowded streets of Lin'an, shouting while running, and then post them at fixed locations.

It is said that the young men are all family members of the emperor's soldiers in Lin'an City, basically all the sons, nephews, etc. of the military generals.

The Imperial City Department of the imperial court specialized in this matter. The youngsters who went to make a trip, turn around, call out, and then post an announcement would be given fifty cents. Many youngsters were willing to do it.

Swipe, Zhao Rushu's face turned red at that moment.

This Zhao Ruzhi is just like him, and is of the same generation as the Southern Song clan. In terms of seniority, he is still the uncle of the emperor Zhao and Rui.

"Your Majesty even—" the clan also beheaded?Liang Chengda swallowed what he was about to say just now.

He couldn't help but think of Nie Zishu, whose whole family was punished in the Lizhengmen incident a few months ago.

It's better to die than to live. It's better to live a better life now than to be punished by the whole family, right?

Thinking about it this way, Liang Chengda calmed down after being a little excited just now.

You must not fight against the emperor?Liang Chengda thought to himself.

"Jiangdong has started too?" Zhao Rushu blushed in disbelief.

Xinzhou is on Jiangnan East Road. Originally, when Zhao Fan came to Jiangnan to serve as an envoy, he had already set up a pilot project in Jiangnan. But at that time, it was mainly in Jiangnan in later generations, that is, near Jiankang, including Su Chang and other places.

Starting from this year, after Fujian, Zhao Fan's scale has spread to the entire Liangjiang Road, including later Jiangxi, Anhui and other places.

Liang Chengda couldn't help but trembled: "I'm afraid Lin'an Mansion will be here soon."

Lin'an Mansion has not started yet, and the emperor should be the time for everyone to deal with the grain fields.

Fortunately, the two of them have already dealt with it. Although they were not reconciled, they finally got it done ahead of time.

"Zhao Yushi, do you want to save money?" Liang Chengda asked Zhao Rushu at this time.

Not far from the door is the Four Seas Bank, and on the other side is the Longteng Bank. Liang Chengda has just taken part of the deposit and wants to save it first.

Zhao Rushu also took part of the deposit, and looked back at the two servants, a little bit hesitant about whether to deposit it, because he felt that Longteng Bank was about to run away, but he couldn't talk nonsense.

"I don't save anymore. I will keep some money for home use. I still need money for several of my shops." Zhao Ru recounted.

"Oh." Liang Chengda looked regretful, as if Zhao Rushu had lost [-] million yuan, he didn't say much, and immediately cupped his fists: "Then I'm going to save money, haha." Saying goodbye to Zhao Rushu, Le Diandian turned around And go.

Zhao Rushu went home with the money, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly saw another boy running along the street, yelling as he ran.

"The official land is recruiting tenants, and the land rent is [-]%. The number is limited, first come, first served. Sign up at the imperial city's Jinyiwei Yamen."

"The land rent is [-]%, the land rent is [-]%, the quantity is limited, first come, first served."

"The imperial city's Jinyiwei, the land rent is [-]%, first come, first served."

The teenagers ran all over the street under the sun. After running, they went to the most populous places in Lin'an and posted notices in obvious buildings.

The walls of many shops and red buildings have been plastered, and everyone can't do anything about it.

Zhao Rushu's face changed drastically, and after standing still for a while, he suddenly stomped his feet, the emperor's move is brilliant.

Lin'an City is now selling fields. For example, after the more than 1000 mu of land he mentioned by Zhao Rushu is sold, what will happen to the tenants who originally planted other fields?The tenants want to survive?
At this time, the emperor launched Guantian to call tenants, which immediately stabilized the mentality of the tenants, not only that, but also affected the mentality of his remaining tenants.

In the early Song Dynasty, whether it was official land or land owned by landlords, the rent for land was half.

If the landlord and the official provide cattle and tools, the land rent will be even higher.

By the late Southern Song Dynasty, the land rent had basically reached about two-thirds, and the tenants had to bear taxes. After paying the land rent and taxes, some could barely make a living, and some could not even make a living, and their lives were quite miserable.

The emperor has confiscated countless grain fields in recent years and turned them into official fields. Now he has launched a [-]% rent for land. Zhao Rushu can imagine that it will affect all tenants across the country in the future.

Now he was even more sure that he was right to sell the land.

He couldn't help but turn his head, and behind him were two servants, both tenants who helped his family farm.

At this moment, the two of them stared blankly at the direction in which the boys ran away. Obviously, the news that the imperial court's official land was rented by the three Chengtian just now had already shocked them.

Zhao Rushu even suspected that after the two returned home, they might run to Jinyiwei.

He was also very decisive, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I must closely follow the imperial government's policy. Starting today, your land rent will also be reduced to [-]%."

"Thank you, master." The two tenants were overjoyed.

But the next moment, a tenant actually said cautiously: "Master, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has treated the people better and better."

"..." Zhao Rushu stared at the tenant in disbelief.
