Chapter 1547: The fate of people

In this huge backyard of Liu's family, there was no sound.

Every visitor fell into a dead silence.

People are silent and trying to digest.

It is unprecedented to exempt tenant rent.

To put it bluntly, this is unprecedented and no one comes afterwards.

After searching through history books, I have never heard of such a thing.

If a gentry is just a dizzy person, it doesn't matter. If a gentry has enough land to have, he will naturally be eliminated, because it won't take long to go bankrupt and the land will be sold at a low price.

But what if there are hundreds of millions of mu of land, what if the tenant rent is directly exempted?

What a terrible thing this is.

He Fang Jifan...are he planning to eat dirt?

But obviously, Xishan Money House is now rich in wealth, and the land it earned is obtained at the lowest price. In the eyes of these visitors, it is almost no different from robbing.

Since they dare to avoid it, they can always earn it back from other places.

But...what should we do?

At present, tenant rent can be roughly divided into two types. One is that all the land output is shared by the gentry and tenant in proportion. The good place is 55, and the bad place is 37, the gentry gets 7, and the tenant gets 3.

Of course, this equalization method is relatively gentle.

There is another type, which is called iron plate rent. The so-called iron plate rent means that if you can collect 300 kilograms of rice per acre of land, according to regulations, if you rent the land, you will collect 180 kilograms to 200 kilograms of land.

It seems that there is no difference between iron plate rent and equalization method, but don’t forget that even tenants need to pay grain taxes and corvee labor. In recent years, corvee labor can be deducted with silver, but it is still a little more. And if the fixed grain paid, plus imperial grain, ordinary tenants, would be fine in a bumper year. Once the year of disaster, grain production will be reduced, and this acre of land may not be able to plant 180 kilograms of grain, which is equivalent to the whole year of farming and all the grain will be collected, and they may still owe the gentry a sum of money.

At this time... there are often some friendly gentry who will exempt the food owed by the tenants. There are many such good gentry, and they are usually called great charity.

This is true for Wang Shixun. His family is in Qinghe and has always been the title of Wang Daliang, which has lasted for more than ten generations. His Emperor Gaozu was Wang Daliang, his grandfather was Wang Daliang, and his father was Wang Daliang. When he came to him, he was naturally Wang Daliang.

Therefore, once many people become tenants, almost no descendants can turn over, because in the harvest year, your family can barely have food to eat, and even have to eat full and hungry. All the excess grains they grow are used for grain tax and tenant rent.

But once the disaster occurs, the food will decrease, not only will it be unpaid, but it will also owe countless rents from the good people. Such snowball-like debts will never be paid.

The issue of refugees in the Ming Dynasty, at least now, was not caused by natural disasters, but with the increase of population, the merger of land, and the frequent natural disasters. Many tenants found that even if they rented land, worked hard to farm, and completed the official corvee service in the slack farming period, in fact... most of the time, they might not be able to earn their own food, and even... because of the iron plate rent, they might still owe a lot of debt.

So... people ran away.

Over the years, the land income has been continuously increasing, and the emergence of a large number of new crops has finally given many tenant farmers a breath of relief.

But in fact, the gentry is the one who really benefits the most.

The reason is that the land is his. When the crop harvest is high, the rent will also increase. The final result is the huge benefits brought by the new crop. One acre of land can only have 20 kilograms of grain flowed into the tenant's mouth, and more than 80% are still piled in the gentry's barn.

In this world...it's all that your arms can't twist your thighs.

But no matter whether you have your arms or thighs, you will still be flesh and blood after all, now there is a dog-like thing, and he brought a knife.

What a man Wang Shixun is? He has read books and understands the truth.

At this moment, his whole body trembled, his face pale as paper, and his lips began to tremble.

The dog-like thing from the front was torture various commercial and financial means to pull the gentry into the water, and then use rich experience to harvest all these gentry.

Now, the harvested land has now become the magic weapon in the hands of this dog. He turned his head and directly targeted the gentry who had not been pulled into the water by business and finance... and was hit by the head.

It's over...

Such a huge amount of land is exempt from rent. At that time... are there anyone who cultivates his own land?

Those tenants, who were not quick to bring their families with their families, were so crazy that they rushed into the farms of Xishan Money House.

To farm for Xishan Money House, you only need to pay the imperial grain.

But when farming for the gentry, they have to pay 60% to 70% of the tenant rent, which is equivalent to... planting a mu of land and getting three times the profit.

Three times...

Many guests' bodies began to tremble.

Suddenly... someone wailed: "I'm afraid that the land price will fall... and it will continue to fall, and I don't know when it will be."

The person who said this... no one paid attention to him.

Because this is not a problem of decline.

The land price has fallen, as long as the land is still in your own hands and you don’t sell it, who can do anything to you?

Therefore, some people have more knowledge: "This is not just a problem of land prices falling. Brother Zhou has more than 6,000 acres of land in Boye County. In the future... can he recruit tenant farmers? Even if he recruits tenant farmers, please ask, what percentage of the rent do you plan to charge him? 70%? 60%? 50%? 30%? 20%? I'm afraid it's 20% or 30%. I think... no one cares about it."

Without land rent, would everyone go to the land to cultivate by themselves? Which of the people present has thousands of acres of tens of thousands of acres of land?

Once the land rent collected by the gentry plummeted, the income obtained from the land would naturally be less pitiful. Then the tenant farmers would be content with a bite of food. But for the gentry, what they valued was not food. They had a big house, servants at home, carriages and horses, and even more needed to support their children to study. Their family had a great business, in addition to having a big house, there were two houses, three houses and four houses. How much expenses were there? Once the income plummeted, could this family... still maintain it?

"It's over... it's over..." Someone cried: "I'll see this place quickly. If I don't sell it, I'm afraid no one will care about it."

"Now I want to sell it?" Someone said angrily: "It's too late. This Fang Jifan has lost all his conscience and is determined not to give everyone a way out."

Wang Shixun was dizzy when he heard it. He didn't want to say a word. Who would have thought that today, and turned around and Fang Jifan directly took advantage of everyone's way of retreat.

Liu Jianyi was frightened when he heard this, but he was full of heart and wanted to rescue his father, so he hurriedly said, "Everyone...you...we're waiting for this time..."

"My nephew..." Wang Shixun suddenly interrupted Liu Jianyi's words without hesitation, his voice cold.

Liu Jianyi hurriedly looked at Wang Shixun, revealing his confusion.

Wang Shixun said: "I have something to do today, so I will say goodbye."

"Uncle Shi, let's have a simple meal before leaving." Liu Jianyi hurriedly said, "What's more, my father..."

Wang Shixun had a gloomy face. He managed the family and governed the country and pacified the world. His family was gone. Who can still care about your father's affairs? My life in the future may not be better than yours.

He turned around and left.

The other guests woke up one after another. At this time, they had to save themselves quickly.

So they stood up one after another.

Liu Jianyi was anxious and was about to hold Wang Shixun.

But Wang Shixun threw his hand away: "My nephew, please take care of yourself."

After leaving behind such a cold word, he rushed out anxiously.

The vast gentry looked confused, and saw Wang Shixun going out and leaving the Liu family one after another.

Wang Shixun ordered to the coachman: "Go to the West Mountain, hurry up..."

People whispered in front of the door.

Finally someone said, "Let's go, we will go to the West Mountain."

In a moment, the entire Liu Mansion was in a mess and the building was empty.

Liu Jianyi looked at all this in a daze, and was actually crazy.

What should I do with my dad?

…………

It was noon at sunset, and Fang Jifan had not yet risen.

However, Zhu Xiurong urged him several times, and Fang Jifan was so dizzy that he could take care of his clothes.

Zhu Xiurong said: "Just just now, many people came to pay homage, saying that they had to see their husbands. Husband... Don't miss a big deal and make people wait for a long time."

Fang Jifan was haha: "Just let them wait, I'm not in a hurry, hey..." He sighed: "In the past, I was extremely leisurely, but since I came back to Beijing this time, someone came to me every now and then. Such a life is really not something that people can live."

Zhu Xiurong frowned: "Anyway, you need to be careful. This trip to Nantongzhou has scared everyone in the house to death. The most important thing in dealing with people and things is to be harmonious. Don't make enemies anymore, husband."

That's how women are.

Harmony is the most important thing...

Fang Jifan smiled and said, "Of course, I love to make friends with people the most, Hu Zi, Hu Zi..."

Fang Jifan finished dressing and called Huzi. Huzi arrived in front of Fang Jifan with a rainbow of momentum.

Fang Jifan kicked him: "You guy, you are taller than me, and you are against you."

Huzi immediately said, "Young master...or, I'll ask my mother to make you a pair of soles with a thousand-layer soles, which can grow taller."

Fang Jifan suddenly felt that his self-esteem was insulted.

Shaking his head, sighed: "Go to meet and call your people up, Oh, you still have a short gun on your waist, take me and take a look."

As he said that, he took another short gun from Hu Zi's waist and held it in his hand. The short gun was heavy and held in his hand, which was particularly powerful.

Now I'm missing a sunglasses.

Unfortunately... one cigarette is missing.

But after thinking about it carefully, Fang Jifan still dared not make tobacco. This thing... hurts people.

Fang Jifan has a strange and upright viewpoint and is a person with a conscience.
