I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 255 Guarantee comes from the Great Barren Mountain

Although the imperial court promised a lot of preferential policies for reclamation, such as tax exemption for three years, tax for five and a half years, and even distribution of seeds and so on.

But Yun Panpan felt that this was not enough.

Because the people who need to reclaim wasteland may not even know what to eat tomorrow, even if the conditions are good, they will not be able to do it.

For those powerful families who have the strength to do it, it is far cheaper to annex the existing good land than to reclaim wasteland.

At worst, just wait for a famine year, so that not only can the land be obtained, but there will even be people who grow the land incidentally.

So she thinks there must be a greater degree of advocacy.

For example, if a landless household wants to reclaim wasteland, it can report to the local government. After verification by the imperial court, it can provide subsidies and repay after the next year's harvest.

There are also assistance such as joint insurance for five households, giving cattle seeds and so on.

Although the ideas are still immature, Xin Zhao thinks it is very good to have the government as the foundation and encourage the public to participate in this awareness.

However, Xin Zhao couldn't help raising some doubts about her policies.

For example, going to the government to report to the government, is it possible for ordinary farmers in this era to do it?
You must know that this era is not a future generation. Dealing with the government is almost impossible for ordinary people to happen in their lifetime.

The biggest officials they have ever met may be village elders and village chiefs. Even if they wanted to do it, it would be difficult for them to complete the reporting process.

In addition, if everyone goes to report, how long will the court have the ability to verify one by one?

In addition, after borrowing, what should I do if the harvest fails in the coming year, and where will the start-up funds from the government come from, and so on.

"These ministers have also thought about it. The problem reported first, the minister thinks it can be solved. Although it cannot be promoted, it can be solved under the minister's rule, because the minister will personally lead people to supervise, and there is no need for farmers to come to the government on their own initiative. You can take the initiative to investigate.

The same goes for verification issues.

In addition, I think that these people can be gathered together to cultivate together, and after the cultivation is completed, they will be distributed uniformly and the farmers will cultivate.

In addition, the problem of repaying the loan can be collected in the form of land rent. Before the cost is paid off, these lands are regarded as official land, and the people only rent seeds, and the rent and taxes paid can be used to replenish the loan.

After the repayment is over, the land will be completely owned by the people. "

When Xin Zhao heard this, she finally understood her idea. She was tantamount to carrying out village settlements in a government-organized way, but in the process, the government recovered the cost and allocated the land to the current cultivators.

It's a viable idea.

However, as Yun Panpan said, this method is not scalable, unless the governors of other counties are willing to go down to the folk fields like her to organize the people in person.

Then after the cost is recovered, it can really be implemented, otherwise it will eventually become a mandatory official settlement.

Minhu was enslaved again.

He thought for a while, and then said: "This method is possible, at least in Dahuang County, it should be possible if there is a minister, but one more thing can be added, that is, the annual rent repayment amount is determined by the household itself."

Yun Panpan thought for a while when he heard the words, then nodded and said: "Yes."

At this moment, Nan Luoying interjected for the first time, "If this is the case, then what if those households owe rent maliciously?"

"will not."

Xin Zhao laughed when he heard the words, and said in affirmation.

Yun Panpan also smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, noble lady, the household's desire for land is far beyond our imagination, as long as they can be sure that after completing the payment, the land will indeed belong to them.

Every farmer will definitely live frugally and give priority to repaying the rent. "

Nan Luo nodded when she heard the words, half understanding.

Although she is smart, she doesn't know much about this, because as a noble daughter of the Nan family, the lowest level of people she can really get in touch with is her maid Xiao Cui.

The others are the servants at home, unless they are above the housekeeper, otherwise they will not have much communication with each other.

The difference between Yun Panpan and her in this point is that the former, as the saint of the natives, sounds high and high, but in fact she really goes deep into the grassroots.

"Finally, there is another question, where will the government's money come from?"

Xin Zhao asked the question again.

Although he confiscated a lot of supplies and money these days.

But he has already repaid some of Zhang Yuan's previous debts.

After all, Zhang Yuan almost broke his family to help him at that time, and he couldn't really let him go bankrupt directly, no.

In addition, there are food and drink for thousands of people, rewards for military exploits and so on.

Although there is still a surplus.

But these are still too little for a county-scale large-scale reclamation, and it can even be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Because this kind of land reclamation is not a matter of a day or two, but over a period of years.

From land reclamation to sowing, to harvesting, it takes a long time regardless of the season. During this period, not only did these people not harvest, but the government may have to provide them with food and drink.

What a huge expense this is.

If the government had the ability to do it, it would not have seen the people displaced before, or even fled to become wild people.

However, Yun Panpan obviously already had an idea about this.

Hearing the words, he said almost without thinking: "This one comes from the Great Barren Mountain."

"The Great Barren Mountain?"

Xin Zhao was taken aback when he heard this.

Immediately, she understood what she was thinking.

In fact, he also had this kind of idea, but Yun Panpan didn't expect that Yun Panpan would also put his idea on Dahuangshan.

"However, in this way, those wealthy merchants in the Great Desolation City will probably hate you to the bone."

Xin Zhao chuckled.

Of course he was just joking.

He didn't care what happened to those wealthy businessmen.

And with Yun Panpan's influence among the natives, those rich businessmen don't want to compete with her.

"That's out of the question."

Yun Panpan couldn't help laughing when Xin Zhao said that, because it was obvious that Xin Zhao had understood her intentions.

In fact, it is simple to say, so no middlemen make the difference.

In other words, the government can act as the middleman.

Ordinary people may not know that although Dahuangshan is called Dahuangshan, it is not barren at all, and it is even rich in products.

It can be seen from the fact that it can feed so many natives.

These products are not only sundries that only feed the natives, but also precious furs and precious medicinal materials.

After these things were shipped out of Bingzhou, many of them were worth thousands of dollars.

But the prices given by these wealthy merchants to the natives are appallingly low.

For example, after a complete fox fur is out of Bingzhou, it is almost impossible to get thousands of dollars or even ten thousand dollars in the hands of those rich people.

But those wealthy merchants only exchanged it with a bag of corn or a small handful of salt.
