back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 885 The Policy of Benefiting the People
As soon as he said that, Cai Jing murmured in his heart: "You are not a butcher, who is the butcher? Those more than 200 lives will be slaughtered..."

Thinking of this, Cai Jing couldn't help shivering, got up from the ground, looked overjoyed at the direction Lu Chengqi was going away, and said in his heart: "I don't need to die, I don't need to die!"

Ants are still alive, let alone Cai Jing?
For An Nanzhou, Cai Jing didn't have any extravagance.After recovering a small life, he can even continue to be an official, and he has a goal to strive for. He just feels that he is full of energy at this moment, and he can't wait to go to Annan Prefecture today, so that he can use his fists and return to the Central Plains to be an official as soon as possible.

As for whether it is distribution or encouragement, it doesn't matter to Cai Jing at the moment. Cai Jing only knows that he has recovered a little life and is Amitabha.

In fact, this is also Lu Chengqi's brilliance. He mobilized the enthusiasm of the officials without making a fuss. If people have no hope, are they still like walking dead?An official who looks like a walking dead, what do you want him to do!Annan Prefecture has always been Lu Chengqi's heart disease. This land has been attached to the Central Plains several times in the official history, and has been separated from the Central Plains several times, so that in later generations, it has always opposed China.If you take this opportunity to completely sinicize and bring it into the territory, it will be a supreme merit.

More importantly, once the Sinicization of Annan Prefecture is successful, it will set a template for the Sinicization of Khitans, Jurchens, Shiwei people, Mongols, etc. in the future. There is no ethnic group that the Han people cannot integrate!If the prairie people's prairie is turned into the prairie of Dashun, is there any need to fear that Hu people will invade the south?
But Lu Chengqi also knew that this was a difficult and long road, and he couldn't complete it in a hurry.

To achieve integration, you must first conquer.

Without conquest, integration is out of the question.

Relying on cultural invasion is simply not realistic.The law of the grassland is that the strong prey on the weak.It is useless for you to reason with him, you have to beat him to the ground before he will listen to you.

So Lu Chengqi is brewing a plan, but the preparation is not ready now, and it has not been implemented yet.If you want to blame, you can blame Yelu Yixin, and Yelu Hongji can follow him if he wants to invade the south. In this way, it is justifiable for Dashun to send troops, how good it is to protect the family and the country!It's a pity, it's a pity that he wasted a good opportunity by being in the way!

Lu Chengqi cursed Yelu Yixin secretly, and returned to the palace surrounded by the imperial guards.

At this moment, in a preschool house on the outskirts of Chang'an City, Lu Houxu was whispering to a child of similar age.

"Tang Ke, did you know that even women can get land in Jiangnan!"

"I know, what does this have to do with me? Although I am from Yuhang Qiantang, I was kicked out by my uncle and aunt..."

The child named Tang Ke said with a distressed expression.

"It's all right, even if it's near Chang'an, you can get a loan from the Royal Bank to buy land..."

Lu Houxu's voice was so loud that it spread out.

"What, you say it's true?"

"Lu Houxu, how do you know?"

……

Most of the students who come to Mengxue are poor children, although most of them know that they are only learning two characters and can do some calculations, so they won't be deceived in everything they do in the future.Among the dozens of children in Mengxue, there are probably not many who can really study and get fame.

They are too young to help the family, and they still have to eat a lot. If there are so many children in the family, they will have a headache.Fortunately, with Mengxue, as long as the children are about five years old, they can be sent to Mengxue, including two meals, which is enough to eat.Mengxue is funded by Huangzhuang. As long as Dashun is still alive and Huangzhuang still makes money, this Mengxue will not be closed.

Poor families are worrying about how to raise their children. Seeing such a good thing, they must send their children to learn to read and write!Mengxue can't help men and women, and it couldn't be better.It is equivalent to the state paying to help you raise your children, avoiding malnutrition, premature death, etc., which is considered an excellent benevolent government.On this one, I don't know how many living people are!

The children of the poor have already been in charge of their families. These children have already wanted to help their families, but they have no way out. After hearing this today, they have already made up their minds.

Lu Houxu smiled and said: "My father said, he said that as long as they are adult citizens of Dashun and have household registration, regardless of gender, they can borrow money from the Royal Bank to buy land, and the interest is not high. It will take two years of hard work at most. Then you can pay back the money. From now on, this field will belong to your family, and you can plant whatever you want. But it can’t exceed a hundred acres of land, otherwise, you will still be taxed. My father said, what is it called... what... "

"Vacant land tax!"

A child spoke for him, and Lu Houxu's eyes lit up: "Yes, the vacant land tax!"

"Yeah, my father was a long-term worker for the landlord. He said that the population of Jingzhao Mansion has dropped dramatically in recent years, and two hundred acres of his family's hundreds of acres of land have been abandoned. It will be paid in a year. Four hundred guan in taxes, the landlord is a stingy rich man, how can he give up? He sold the land to the Royal Bank, and the price was considered fair, exactly the same as the market price. That's it, the rich landlord is still in the market all day long. Crying, scolding the court, this is not good, that is not good, don't give him a way out. I see, he is itchy. If a high-ranking official goes to my village, he promises not to say anything! Your Majesty today How wonderful to think of the people everywhere... By the way, Brother Houxu, if you can really buy land with a loan, my whole family will thank you..."

Lu Houxu said with a smile: "This matter has been published in the newspaper a long time ago. Thank you for what I do? Thank you, the current emperor, and thank you for the officials in the court..."

"Hush! Silence, the Master is here..." All the children hurried back to their seats and sat down.

At this time, the master accompanied an inspector, entered the room in a compliment, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Shut up, this high official has something to say!"

The inspector didn't even dare to say, "I'm not a high-ranking official, I'm just a pawn. I'm here to convey the will of the Holy Majesty. Since many people don't know that the Royal Bank can give people who have entered the household registration Dashun adult people." To buy land with a loan, please send me to inform you. You are all sensible and good children. You must tell your parents clearly when you go home that this is the long-term business of the Royal Bank. The loan can only buy the land under the Royal Bank. It is calculated according to the market price. If you pay off within one year, no interest will be charged, and if you pay off within two years, an additional [-]% will be charged, with a cap of [-]%. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The child in the room got up and said.

"Okay, then your study today is to write down this passage and take it home to show to your parents, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The master was also very moved when he heard this.Only today's saints always put the people first.Even the long-term workers of the landlord's family, he tried every means to help them out of poverty.As long as the poor have fields, they can stand up.It is not a problem for three generations to confess another scholar.It is said that the business of the Royal Bank, if Lu Chengqi hadn't nodded, would he be able to take care of the poor people like this?
Fortunately, the master also has [-] pennies to teach in January, which is not inferior to being an official.Otherwise, he would have thought about buying a farm with a loan. Temptation, temptation... But facing the extremely high land vacancy tax, the master was discouraged.
