Chapter 852 Land purchase and tax payment
In Tianyuan Kingdom, land can be bought and sold. In certain special periods, when people reclaim wasteland and cultivate it for a few years, the land belongs to them and they can buy and sell it at will.

"Why can't it be bought and sold? It must be owned by the country?" Feng Chenghan looked at Leng Luoyue and asked, something seemed to burst out of his mind.

Leng Luoyue looked at Fengcheng Han and said, "Who has the most land?"

"Except you," she added.As the king of a country, he has the most royal land in the world. If anyone wants to say who has the most land, it is naturally him.

Feng Chenghan thought for a while and said: "Of course he is a powerful person in the world."

"Then where did their land come from?"

Feng Chenghan replied: "Except for the farmland entrusted by the imperial court to the nobles of the family, everything else should have been bought from other common people."

Leng Luoyue tapped her fingers on the table and asked, "How many people are there in Tianyuan Kingdom?"

Feng Chenghan replied without thinking: "There are about [-] million people registered in the household registration."

Ten million people is also [-] million people, which is really not a small number.

"How much arable land is there?"

Feng Chenghan thought for a while before answering: "About [-] acres are close to it."

Leng Luoyue smiled, "Seventy thousand acres of cultivated land, spread equally to everyone, is seven acres of land per person. One acre of land is considered to have a yield of two dan, and seven acres of land is fourteen dan. Excluding the grain tax, ten One, there is still about twelve shi of food left.”

"But why, before the emergence of high-yielding grains like potatoes, there were still many people in Tianyuan who did not have enough to eat." The cultivated land area of ​​Tianyuan Kingdom is not small, but before potatoes appeared, there were still many people who were hungry. Although there are factors of natural and man-made disasters, another factor is that a lot of arable land is in the hands of the rich and the powerful, leaving little land in the hands of the common people.

Fengcheng Han narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Because there is little cultivated land in the hands of the common people, and the cultivated land is all in the hands of the powerful and wealthy people."

Leng Luoyue said: "Fields are privately owned and can be bought and sold at will. Ordinary farmers can sell their fields for emergencies when they encounter an emergency at home. However, once the fields are sold, it will not be so easy to buy them back."

After all, an acre of land is not cheap. An acre of good land costs ten taels of silver.

Ordinary people add farming and do small jobs during slack periods, and their income this year is only two or three taels of silver.

If this field was sold out of a rush for money, it would take several years to save enough money to buy it back.

"Furthermore, it often happens that powerful people forcefully buy land from ordinary people. People who have no farmland to farm after selling their land can only farm the land owned by landlords, rich people, and powerful people. Although tenants don’t have to pay grain taxes, the rent is as high as [-]% to [-]%, and they can’t even make ends meet after a busy year.”

"Maybe you can't see any problems now, but in the long run, the poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer, which will become a factor of instability."

There are definitely more poor people than rich people in this world. What the poor will do if they have no hope is written in history.

Feng Chenghan digested Leng Luoyue's words and understood that the seemingly free private land transactions had huge hidden drawbacks.

He raised his eyes and looked at Leng Luoyue and said, "Then I will issue a decree banning all farmland transactions."

Leng Luoyue shook her head, "Now, the land in the hands of the common people and the powerful is their private property. Previously, it could be bought and sold freely, and many of them were bought by themselves. You suddenly banned trading, not only the wealthy people who have a lot of land Human rights are noble, even the common people will make trouble."

"What you can do in the future is that the wasteland newly reclaimed by the people only has the right to use it but not the right to trade. It belongs to the country. This land also belongs to the child who was born. When he grows old and dies, the land will return to the country and then be taken over by the village collective. Make the distribution." "It was better for you to maintain the status quo. If you touch the cakes of those powerful people, be careful that they turn against you."

Feng Chenghan: "..."

Leng Luoyue said it very directly, but also very realistic.

"But after listening to your analysis, I feel really uneasy." Feng Chenghan frowned.

Leng Luoyue thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another way to restrict the rich and powerful people with lots of land."

"What method?" Feng Chenghan asked.

"Buy land and pay taxes." Leng Luoyue looked at him and said, "If you set an upper limit for a family or a person's farmland, for example, the upper limit is fifty acres, and if it exceeds fifty acres and you have to buy other people's farmland, then You have to pay a tax of [-]% of the purchase price of cultivated land. If the land exceeds [-] acres, there will be a tax bracket. The more land, the higher the tax."

"This should have a certain restrictive effect."

"Buy land and pay taxes." Feng Chenghan repeated these four words on the tip of his tongue, "Wonderful, this method is really wonderful. The cost of buying land increases, and people who want to buy land will naturally hesitate, or even refuse directly. I bought it. It can, to a certain extent, reduce the amount of land hoarding by the rich and powerful.”

"But you have to come up with a policy, that is, you cannot lower the price of farmland privately. The price of farmland should be fixed according to the grade. Violators will be fined. This will prevent the rich and powerful from evading taxes and suppressing farmland in order to reduce the cost of buying land. Price." Leng Luoyue added.

Feng Chenghan nodded and said, "I understand."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Leng Luoyue with burning eyes and asked: "Are all the women in your world as smart as you and know as much as you?"

Leng Luoyue rolled her eyes, looked at him and asked, "Why do you still want to get to know other women from my world?"

"No, you are enough for me." Feng Chenghan quickly denied, "I'm just curious."

"Absolutely." Leng Luoyue curled her lips and said, "After all, women in our world enjoy the same education as men, and read a lot of books. Reading can make people understand and be wise, so they know more and are smarter. of."

Feng Chenghan looked at Leng Luoyue firmly and said: "Sooner or later, my descendants will also make Tianyuan develop into a country where everyone can read."

"Pfft..." Leng Luoyue laughed out loud, "You are quite a down-to-earth person. You know that Tianyuan Kingdom will not develop to that level in your lifetime, so you talk about your descendants."

Feng Chenghan: "After all, I never speak big words."

Leng Luoyue raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and suggested to Feng Chenghan the idea of ​​setting up orphanages across the country.

Although it is illegal to abandon a child and you can report it, it does not necessarily prevent the child from being abandoned.

Moreover, there will also be children in this world whose parents have died. Such children have no one to look after them and can only be beggars on the streets. A cold winter can kill these children.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish orphanages in various places so that these children can have a safe place to grow up.

Feng Chenghan looked at Leng Luoyue and nodded. He also accepted her suggestion and had the person responsible for this matter in mind.
