Chapter 464

Zhang Hao told Jiajing that if all the land in the world is taken over to the court, then the people in the world can be exempted from taxes.

"Tax exemption?" After hearing this, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock. The taxes of farmers were a big investment in the court!

"Of course it can be tax-free. Think about how much profit salt can make in a year, iron, those two workshops, and commercial taxes. The previous tax in the Ming Dynasty was only about 7 million taels a year.

But now it is enough to just salt. If the people have money, salt will be sold more, and the business will be more developed. People will buy more items, and then the tax will be more, but now it will be difficult!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.

"Yes, if all of them are received in the court, then the people will have fields to plant, and then the people will not rebel!" Jiajing understood this point at this moment.

I know that this is the method that allows the Ming Dynasty to continue to pass on and even pass on more generations. If this policy is implemented, I have to find a way to implement it. If it can be implemented, then the future of the Ming Dynasty will be even better, and my descendants can continue to be good emperors. I don’t have to worry about whether they will be rebelled and the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!

"Barbarian, is there any way to recover the land? If you force it, it will definitely not work!" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao.

"Yes, from now on, no land transactions will be allowed. If you want to sell the land, you can only sell it to the government. The government will distribute it to the people who have no land at that time, and the land will be divided according to the population. In addition, if the court has money, you can also purchase land. For example, if the court has 5 million taels of surplus this year, then you can purchase 1 million land, which will allow 500,000 people to farm without starving to death!" Zhang Hao sat there and said.

"Lu Fang, how much money do we have?" Jiajing asked Lu Fang immediately.

"Go back to the emperor, there are more than 14 million taels!" Lu Fang immediately bowed and said.

"Then you can buy more than 2 million acres of land. In this way, more than 1 million people will not starve to death, and those people will not rebel with the people!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing.

"But, I have so much land in the Ming Dynasty, and I have so much money to buy so much land in the court. My Ming Dynasty has 400 million mu of land, which requires 200 million taels of silver. Of course, some of them were collected before, and this time it is probably possible to collect a lot!" Jiajing sat there and spoke.

"Emperor, from Shanxi, plus those officials this time, I guess I have almost gotten 30 million acres, which can make 15 million people not starve to death!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing. When Jiajing heard it, he nodded.

"If you investigate and punish those corrupt officials and those vassal kings, you will probably get 10 million acres. If this is the case, then at least 30% of the people in the Ming Dynasty will not rebel. The rest is to find a way to acquire them!" Jiajing stood there, thinking about this matter.

"Anyway, this matter has been done for a long time. From now on, we can order the government to not trade the land. If there is a land deed, it can be sold to the government. But we must also keep an eye on it, for fear that those officials will use inferior products as good ones or create false farmland to trade, so that they will give them a chance to be corrupt!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"That's right, this matter needs to be left to you. You should keep an eye on this matter. Only when you are watching this matter can I feel at ease. I am not at ease when others do this matter!" Jiajing nodded and said to Zhang Hao. He knew very well what the officials under his command could do, and he couldn't believe the officials below.

"If possible, I will set up a special institution in the Jinyiwei to investigate and handle the matter of land purchase by the government!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Okay, you can do it now. In addition, allocate land to the people, and you can do it too!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Ah?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise. This was done by the local government. If you do it yourself, you will need a lot of people.

"You go and do it. I'm not relieved to those local officials. I know you. You will definitely give priority to those poor people!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, then I'll start doing it when I go back?" Zhang Hao asked Jiajing.

"Okay!" Jiajing nodded and agreed to Zhang Hao do this.

"You can immediately search the land of those officials and distribute it to the people. I will issue an imperial edict immediately. From now on, the entire Ming Dynasty will not be allowed to trade land. If you want to trade land, you need to sell it to the government. Now the government can register first and pay the people first. When I send someone to verify that the land is not a problem, I will give the money immediately!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, but, yourselves, if that happens, the vassal kings and officials will object, and the opposition may be very large at that time!" Zhang Hao reminded Jiajing and said.

"Let them oppose it? I just follow our plan anyway. Take it slowly. Even if I can't finish it and let the emperor below continue to do it, I don't believe it. The land cannot be collected. If half of the people have land then, I can forcefully acquire the land. I believe that if the people do not rebel, no one can successfully rebel, and the people are not stupid!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao. When Zhang Hao heard it, he immediately gave Jiajing a thumbs up.

"Okay, go and do things. Be careful. You can go to Shandong, deal with King Lu, or go to Xi'an, deal with King Qin and others. Anyway, you look at them and see those vassal kings who violate the law, you can deal with them. Now they are interfering in the affairs of the court. I can't continue to tolerate them like this. Their hands are a little longer.

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed and said!

Soon Zhang Hao left and went to the Jinyiwei. When he arrived at Jinyiwei, Zhang Hao found Shen Lian.

"Shen Lian, you are also from a Jinshi. There is something. I need you to do it, and I hope you do it well. If you do it well, then the emperor will have a lot of rewards!" Zhang Hao poured tea for Shen Lian and said to Shen Lian.

"Sir, what do you want me to do? Tell me, I will never frown!" Shen Lian immediately stood up and said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, don't worry, it's not that you can do something that will ruin your head and take the blame, but that you need to do something. For the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the big things in the Ming Dynasty, you need to stand the test and temptation to do this!" Zhang Hao said to Shen Lian.

"Sir, you say! I promise to do it. No matter what temptation, I won't take a look!" Shen Lian stood there and continued to express his determination.

"Okay, then I'll talk to you!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian, and then began to talk to Shen Lian about the distribution of farmland, including the future purchase of farmland in various places, to Shen Lian.

"Reclaim all the farmlands, take them back to the court, and leave them to the people to plant. From now on, the farmlands can only be from the court?" Chen Lian looked at Zhang Hao in shock when he heard this.

"That's right, this may take ten or twenty years to do it well. Of course, you don't need to do it ten or twenty years, but you need to start this!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian.

"Sir, okay, I'll do it. Nowadays, many people do not have land and farm for those landlords. If they can have their own land, they can support their families and it will be impossible to be forced to sell their children and daughters!" Chen Lian thought for a while and said to Chen Lian.

"You can choose people now. You can choose from our Jinyiwei or from outside. Choose those you think you can trust, but you must have good character. If something goes wrong then, you and I will be responsible!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian.

"Is this what I'll choose?" Chen Lian looked at Zhang Hao in shock when he heard this.

"That's right, you choose people, the number of people, well, just think that a county needs two people. I have more than 900 counties in the Ming Dynasty, and I also need to be equipped with some backup personnel. I estimate that it will take about 2,000 people. These 2,000 people are specifically focused on those lands. They rotate every year, rotate irregularly. Before the rotation, they need to be handed over clearly. At that time, I will write a charter for you, and you can prepare the people!" Zhang Hao said to Chen Lian.

"Yes, sir, I'm going to go now!" Chen Lian immediately bowed and said,

Zhang Hao sat in the office room and started writing the hype charter for this matter. After a while, Liu Yunhai came.

"Sir, we have sent people to search the officials' homes. We asked those officials and found a total of 4.09 million acres of fertile land!" Liu Yunhai came over and bowed to Zhang Hao and said.

"Okay, take all the land deeds back!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai.

"Yes, sir, but we still don't have enough staff here. Now the officials are too busy!" Liu Yunhai said to Zhang Hao. Although he is the largest official position in addition to Zhang Hao, he likes power. Although he can't stand being so busy.

"Well, okay, then I will apply to the emperor and I and see how to mobilize some officials to come up!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai. There is no one here who can choose to be selected. At most, Chen Lian can be promoted to the rating of Liu Yunhai.

But Liu Yunhai can't be promoted. After all, he was promoted not long after he was promoted, which is a bit unreasonable. I guess Jiajing still needs to transfer people from outside, but the officials outside don't want to come to Jinyiwei now.

Because the reputation of the Jinyiwei is not very good, many people say that they are minions and dog legs, and there is no good word anyway.
