Chapter 466
Zhang Li returned to his yard. At this moment, Ding Yu was already lying on the bed. When he saw Zhang Li coming back, he immediately sat up and came to take off Zhang Li's clothes.
"Don't be busy taking off your clothes for now, I'll give you money. This is mine, this is yours. I don't know how much, and I don't count it!" Zhang Li said as he took out a stack of money and gave it half to Ding Yu.
"Where did you get so much money?" Ding Yu looked at Zhang Li in surprise and asked.
"Hehe, the second brother gave it to you. You kid, you can take out a stack of money at any time. I guess he has never been less than 100,000 taels!" Zhang Li said to Ding Yu with a smile.
"You brother wants money again? You, the eldest brother, can't do this!" Ding Yu heard this and immediately said to Zhang Li.
"I didn't ask, what he gave me. I said I didn't have much money to use, so he grabbed a bunch of them. I didn't want it, but when I heard the boy say that the income of those three workshops is about two or three million taels of silver a year. Think about it, I am his biological brother, I am so poor, my younger brother helps me. I can't let it go. I don't want it. Isn't it a shame for my younger brother to lose his face when I go out?" Zhang Li said proudly to Zhang Li.
"You, my brother's money belongs to my brother. My father and mother had agreed before that the money you two earned was not responsible for your own family. The mansion was responsible for building a mansion for my brother, dividing 200 acres of land, and forgetting the store everywhere, all the rest was yours. Now you are fine, if you don't help me, you will ask my brother to help you!" Ding Yu looked at Zhang Li with a wry smile and said.
"He has money than our family and makes so much money every year. I'll help him? Do we have them and have money? We had to ask our mother for money before. It was from last winter that we didn't ask. With this money, I have social engagements outside. This money should be enough for a year. When the money from the glass workshop is shared, we will have money next year!" Zhang Li said to Zhang Hao.
"You will return it to your brother then!" Ding Yu said to Zhang Li.
"Yeah, I know!" Zhang Li sat there and started counting the money. Ding Yu stared at his stack. It was really a lot, probably more than 20,000 taels.
"Second brother can really make money, so awesome!" Ding Yu said very admiringly.
"Of course, the key is to make money with the emperor and not worry about anything. Anyway, it's just dividends. This time the princes came here, and they still hope to cooperate with the barbarians, but the barbarians are very busy now!" Zhang Li sat there and spoke.
"Don't be a barbarian. Now he is a marquis. You can give people some face!" Ding Yu immediately said to Zhang Li.
"I don't call me outside, let's talk about it. I've called me for more than ten years. How can I change it? He is my younger brother. What's wrong with me calling him a nickname? It's okay, he won't be angry!" Zhang Li immediately defended himself. His own brother had called me like that since he was a child. Now he asked me to change it, how did he change it?
"I'm too lazy to care about you!" Ding Yu was too lazy to talk about him when he heard him say this. It would be great if they knew that the two brothers had a relationship. Zhang Li used to protect this younger brother, but now his younger brother is rich, and he has also started to help his older brother.
The next morning, Zhang Hao brought the information to the Danfang.
"Your Majesty, this is information, this is the charter for land affairs written by me. Do you think it's okay?" Zhang Hao said and gave all the information and charter to Jiajing.
When Jiajing heard this, he looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and knew how to write the charter. So he picked it up and looked at it. He found that the words were all fountain pen characters, and they were still good. They were much better than brush characters and could read them.
"Well, just practice brushes when you have nothing to do. You are cheating and slick every day. What kind of pen is used?" Jiajing glared at Zhang Hao and said.
"Your Majesty, you're wrong with this. Do you care what I'm writing? Can't you see clearly? Besides, if I have a brush to write, you will scold me again!" Zhang Hao stood there and said complaining.
Jiajing ignored him and sat there watching, while Zhang Hao sat down and started having breakfast. Jiajing was surprised to see the things Zhang Hao wrote. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao had such skills. This charter was written very well and considered very comprehensively. It was indeed good.
But in the court, Jiajing has issued a ban on land transactions. If all land is to be sold, it can only be sold to the court. The court will be distributed to ordinary people to farm. Now, all the ministers in the court have started to discuss it.
They have never seen such an imperial edict and such a policy, and they don’t know what the emperor is going to do. So now, all the ministers are stunned. They don’t know how to impeach them. They can’t impeach them. They are not that the people are not allowed to sell them, but that they are not allowed to buy them.
Moreover, the imperial edict also stated that the land would be distributed to ordinary people to farm, which is a good thing, but they were also worried that the land they had in their hands would be taken over by the emperor. However, the emperor did not say that they would collect it now, so they could not say it, otherwise it would be malicious speculation.
"Isn't this a bit like this, a few cabinet masters? It's too extreme. I'll share the land to the people to plant. The people can only plant it, not own it. This is not possible, right?" Zhang Jing sat there and asked them.
"What's wrong? This is the case in many places in Shanxi now. There is a great harvest this year, and now there are land divided according to the village.
That is to say, each village needs to be divided again every five years, according to the population, how many acres of land for adults and how many acres of land for children, if you get married, the land will be taken back, the wife will be married, and the land will be divided. In addition, you will have children and the land will be divided. The elderly will be taken back, so that the people can have land to plant, and no matter how poor the people are, they cannot sell the land!" Yu Dafang sat there and spoke.
"This is how Shanxi is now implemented?" Yan Song sat there and asked in surprise when he heard Yu Dafang say this.
"That's right, it's just implemented this way. The people are very motivated now. This is a good thing, and I agree with it!" Yu Dafang said to Yan Song.
"But, there is a lot of land in our families, and the court will take it away at that time?" Zhang Jing continued to ask Yu Dafang.
"I didn't say I wanted to collect it, and the imperial edict didn't say it. I know what the emperor meant, I just hope that the people can have land to plant. Now the land that everyone owns can still continue to plant, but we can't continue to buy land. At that time, if the people have no land, they will be in chaos!" Yu Dafang explained to them, and they all nodded. At this moment, Xu Jie also thought of what he had talked with Zhang Hao before.
"That's right, the emperor probably meant this. Before last year, people rebelled every day, but so far this year, except for some in the border area, there are basically no such thing in the Central Plains, and there is no such thing in the south, which is a good thing!" Xu Jie also agreed with Yu Dafang's words. Although he had not visited the place yet, he believed what Zhang Hao said.
"But have you considered it? If 20 million mu of land are traded nationwide a year, do you know how much it costs?" Yan Song sat there and asked.
"It takes ten thousand taels of silver. Does the court have so much money?" Yan Song continued to look at them and asked. When they heard this, they all looked at Yan Song in shock. If this is the case, then there is really no money.
"This is a big problem. If this is the case, what should some landlords do this on purpose?" Xu Jie immediately thought of this.
If the landlords learn about this situation and deliberately run the court, then the money in the court will be gone in an instant. Those landlords are worried about such a policy, then they will quickly run the money in the court. If the court loses money, the policy will not be implemented immediately.
"No, we are going to see the emperor, but we need to remind him!" Xu Jie immediately said to Yan Song.
"Remind the Emperor?" Zhang Jing heard it and immediately looked at Xu Jie, while Yan Song also looked at Xu Jie.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jie looked at them without understanding.
"Gemaster Xu, you have thought it through. If we remind you, those officials will hate us at that time!" Yan Song said to Xu Jie.
When Xu Jie heard this, he immediately hesitated. Not to mention other officials, he actually didn't want this policy to be implemented in his heart. Who doesn't want land now and who doesn't want more land?
"Let's wait, but don't tell the outside world, let the ministers discover it themselves, I feel something is going to happen!" Yan Song sat there and thought about it. He originally wanted to say it.
But I don’t dare to stand against those ministers, nor against those landlords. Strictly speaking, I am also a landlord, and I have a lot of land in my family. If the court does not allow transactions, how can I buy land in my family in the future? Who would hope that my family will have less land?
On Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao had just finished his meal and was watching the imperial edict issued by Jiajing yesterday.
"Your Majesty, you, this is wrong!" After reading the imperial edict, Zhang Hao frowned and said to Jiajing.
"Why is it wrong? Didn't it be published as you wish?" Jiajing asked as he heard this.
"That's what it means, but you didn't write it clearly. What if all the vassal kings released the land at this time?" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing at this moment.
"Impossible!" Jiajing immediately waved his hand with a smile and said.
"What if it is possible, even those vassal kings immediately contacted the local landlords and released the land together. At that time, tens of millions of acres of land would appear at one time to ask for transactions. Prince, where does the money come from?" Zhang Hao immediately asked Jiajing and said.
