Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Jingzhi didn't lie. In fact, they had almost reached an agreement.

According to Emperor Zhaowu's idea, even if he wanted to develop business, he could never let go of agriculture, so he first came to discuss with them how to ensure that agriculture would not be left behind when developing business.

The feedback from the last survey of the land made Emperor Zhaowu a little frightened.

He really didn't expect that many people across the country now have no land.

He was quite angry at that time. You must know that when the Yu Dynasty was founded, the people were all allocated land.

Only a few years have passed, and already so many people have lost the land they can survive on.

If we continue to let things go like this, I'm afraid it won't take long for the Yu Dynasty to follow the old path of some dynasties in history.

After being furious, he was also very happy that he had adopted Huo Junyao's suggestion and implemented the policy of dividing a small family into an acre, which immediately reduced the burden on the shoulders of these landless people.

But so many people do not have land, which is also a problem. This is not why he was moved when he saw Huo Junyao's plan. The reason why he behaved like this was because he felt that his share was low.

Secondly, they will naturally be a little worried, whether this will raise another behemoth that is more terrifying than the nobles.

However, with Huo Jingzhi's statement, as the largest shareholder, these matters have been reduced a lot.

And it can also help those people without land find a livelihood, which is not bad.

"You also know that the current population of the Yu Dynasty is not large, only 40 to 50 million people in full."

"Although there are few people, the food output is also small, which is not enough to feed so many people. Moreover, many people here do not have land or are heavily taxed."

"Your plan is good. It gives these landless people a livelihood, but it also has some hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao nodded and continued, "Dad, you are worried that if these landless refugees live a better life because of the workshop life, but those who have land will have a miserable life, it will make those people feel sad. unbalanced."

"So you give up farming and join a workshop?"

"Yes, after all, the main way to earn a living in this land is to depend on the weather. If there is any disaster, there may be no harvest."

"Besides, farming is hard and tiring. Although the work in the workshop is also tiring, the income is not low and the income is enough to live on. It is indeed a bit troublesome to compare the two."

"So both the emperor and my father are worried that when the time comes, people will stop farming and all join the workshops."

"If that time comes, it will be a huge problem."

Huo Junyao naturally knew this, which was why many dynasties in ancient times chose to pursue a national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.

I am just worried that people will see the benefits of being a businessman and give up their hard work in farming.

After all, you can easily get money by doing some business, and with money you can buy food. Who would have to work hard in the fields for food?

There is indeed nothing wrong with this idea, but the vision is a bit low.

"Actually, this matter can be easily solved."

"Since we are worried that the people will see the benefits of merchants and give up farming, why not give the people who farm the land something to do?"

"As long as both sides are even, it's fine."

"And with the promotion of corn and potatoes, the quantity of grain will not be low. Besides, we can also provide some regulations for the recruitment of workers in the workshop."

"Priority will be given to those refugees who do not have land. As for those who have land at home, we can also provide some relief. For example, there are so many workers in the workshop who need food and drink."

"This can directly cooperate with the local land-owning people and purchase the grain and vegetables from their hands." "In this way, they will also have income, and the more they plant, the higher their income will be. Naturally, they will not envy those in the upper class. Workers’ refugees.”

Huo Jingzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This was feasible, but he was still a little worried. After all, the people below would always do whatever they wanted because of their sophistication or interests.

They have a good idea here, but it’s hard to say what it will look like if it is implemented.

As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

"The idea is good, but it's hard to say whether it can be implemented."

"It's simple. As the major shareholder, I will set up an inspection team when the time comes and let them keep an eye on it."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi suddenly laughed awkwardly.

"Um, girl, there's something dad forgot to tell you."

Then, he told the story of giving his share to the emperor in the royal study.

Huo Junyao was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, she heard Huo Jingzhi begin to analyze what was going on.

After thinking about it, it seems that this is really the case.

"Daughter, having more money is not a good thing for us. The emperor is in power now. He may be more generous for the sake of father and your mother, but what about the future emperor? That will not be easy. Be generous.”

"Wealth and silk attract people's hearts, so it's better to give away a large amount."

"Well, dad is right."

"It just so happens that since the emperor is the major shareholder, then leave this inspection team to him. He has many people in his hands. Wouldn't it be great if he arranged to form an inspection team to prevent some troubles."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi shook his head again and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. No one in the imperial court will be willing to do this inspection team. After all, this is business. Doing business in the imperial court will make many die-hards refuse to agree."

"Who said this inspection team is an official? I didn't say I would give them official positions."

"I just asked the emperor to form an inspection team. This is just in the name of the company, not in the name of the court. Besides, there are many other people and he is the major shareholder. Wouldn't it be very easy to do something like this?"

Huo Jingzhi was stunned for a moment. He had some misunderstandings just now. After all, if the emperor established it, he would definitely arrange for an official and a half-job.

But Huo Junyao said that if it is established in the name of a company, then it will belong to the people of the company, and it will be enough to pay wages, but there is no need to give official positions.

And there are indeed many people under the emperor's command.

"Also, don't let those clan members join the inspection team. Otherwise, due to the urine of those clan members, it may take a few days to create a mess everywhere."

Huo Jingzhi nodded repeatedly and wrote everything down, planning to discuss the matter with the emperor tomorrow.

"One more thing, regarding the commercial tax, since we want to support business, then the commercial tax must be strictly planned."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao directly told some things she knew about her previous life.

The more you earn, the more you pay. As for the proportion, let them decide on their own.

"Since we must be strict, we must implement heavy regulations and write them clearly in black and white. If tax evasion occurs, we will be severely punished. Otherwise, the situation will still be uncontrollable."

Huo Jingzhi wrote all these down, and at the same time he was thinking about the feasibility of these things.
