Although the salt merchandise's private salt sales had earned a lot of wealth and provided considerable help to the Ming Dynasty, it was not appropriate for Jiangnan to maintain the old salt price when the Ming Dynasty had decided to go south to destroy Jiangnan.

Su Yonglin severely criticized the ideas of some Finance officials, and placed this view on the surface, believing that they had gone the wrong way in terms of economic work and revolutionary goals, and asked them to make a profound review.

The people of Jiangnan were also citizens of the Ming Dynasty and should be treated equally.

"Don't cry and shout because there is no money-making point. What the court needs to do is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, not exploitation! Is it very pleasant to catch salt and bully the people?

This is something that only the feudal old dynasty would do, something that only the Zhao dynasty would do! We are not old bureaucrats of the old dynasty. If we do such things, it is a serious matter of nature!"

Su Yonglin was very angry and said very seriously. At that time, this wave had a great impact on the Ministry of Finance.

A member of the Ministry of Finance was dismissed, and more than a dozen officials with the status of the Revival Society were punished internally by the Revival Society. They were criticized in the National Revival Society organization, and the Salt Department of the Ministry of Finance was also publicly criticized.

It can only be said that Su Yonglin is an indispensable existence and absolute authority in this country, so his influence is unparalleled.

This directly determines that the people in Hangzhou can buy very cheap salt, ending their painful history of buying salt at high prices.

After a series of tossing and causing trouble, the salt price finally returned to where it should have returned. The heavy taxes imposed on salt were completely cancelled by Su Yonglin. This necessity for people's livelihood ended the sinful mission of exploitation.

However, Su Yonglin was still not very satisfied with all this, and he still had a lot of things he wanted to do.

Just wait for the Ming army to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River.

When the reorganization of the Ming army was completed, and it was almost mid-August 1980s, when the people of Hangzhou finally realized that they could not buy enough salt. No matter how much they bought, the Hangzhou government could always bring in more salt to fill the gap.

Therefore, the price of salt has probably dropped to the point and will not be changed easily.

Regarding this fact, the emotions of the people in Hangzhou are very complicated.

The citizens in Hangzhou City and the farmers outside Hangzhou City had different feelings about the Ming Dynasty during this period.

The farmers overturned the landlords and obtained land under the leadership of the Revival members, and established their own peasant associations. Their favorability towards the Ming Dynasty surged and they almost regarded themselves as Ming people rather than Song people on the spot.

By giving land, Ming Dynasty quickly gained recognition from the farmers in Jiangnan, and then quickly established grassroots organizations and established mutual contact channels, gained a foothold at the grassroots level at an extremely fast speed, completing the grand strategy of surrounding cities in the countryside.

But for a considerable number of citizens, they do not gain direct benefits from land reform.

They are citizens, handicraftsmen, and have little to do with land. Although they have gained great benefits from the salt level, this is not enough to make them feel at ease.

They are now worried, want to believe, and have more expectations for Mingguo, who has just won the salt price down the abyss without any crime in the newly occupied Hangzhou.

They didn't know what method Mingguo planned to rule them.

The previous trial of the people suing officials brought them happiness, excitement, and some benefits, but this was all temporary.

The citizens of Hangzhou who have been tested for a long time are very clear about all this.

And soon, Ming Guo gave the answer.

In addition to a series of policies to recruit workers after resuming markets, the most influential and impactful policy to Hangzhou citizens is [Restoration Policy].

As the name suggests, the policy of restoring the identity of the agricultural population and returning to production and life in the countryside.

Because after the implementation of the land reform to defeat the local tyrants and divide the land, the Ming Dynasty had a large amount of [public land], and after allocating it to the original farmers, there was still a lot of surplus. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty announced a policy of restoration of agriculture, allowing urban residents to take their families back to the countryside to settle down.

The citizens of the Southern Song Dynasty were not active citizens, but most of them were passive citizens.

Because their families are poor and cannot afford to support surplus labor or lose land, they are forced to leave their land and villages to make a living in the city, passively become citizens and proletarians.

Now the Ming Dynasty has given a policy of restoring agriculture. Those who are willing to settle down in Hangzhou Prefecture can obtain land nearby and settle down nearby. Those who are willing to return to their original homes and re-establish, then come to the government to register and wait for the government's unified arrangements.

Because their hometown may not have been captured by the Ming army and had not had time to implement land reform, but they were relieved that destroying Song was a established plan, and the Ming army would sweep across the south of the Yangtze River and completely eliminate the remnants of Song State.

Their hometown will definitely be taken back by the Ming army, and then land reform will be carried out, so they can return to their hometown to re-owned land and continue their agricultural life.

The promulgation of this policy can be said to be far better than reducing the price of salt.

Compared with this policy, the price reduction of salt becomes the icing on the cake rather than a timely help.

A stone caused a thousand waves. More than 700,000 permanent residents in Hangzhou City began a large movement, and a large number of people reported to the government that they wanted to return to their hometown or simply settle down nearby.

They want to be farmers.

So the Ming government also began to make large-scale arrangements.

Those who settle down nearby can arrange it directly, or it can achieve a safe and stable publicity effect. Su Yonglin specially approved personnel to help them settle in rural areas around Hangzhou.

The real land, houses, farm tools, seeds, and the three-year tax exemption policy were sent to them as a gift package for the family, and they only felt that their entire soul had been sublimated.

If it weren't for the lack of land to cultivate, how could these people come to the city to settle down and survive?

The ancients who relocated to the land had always preferred their own land, and the Ming Kingdom gave them land, allowing them to return to the lifestyle of their ancestors for thousands of years. So less than a month after the Ming army occupied Hangzhou, the people of Hangzhou completely surrendered to the Ming Kingdom.

It is obvious that they don’t care who they are ruled by.

This set of policy processes has been operating in the northern land for several years. The officials of Ming Dynasty are already very familiar with this matter and are familiar with it easily.

This policy has enabled more than 60% of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty to return to the land and become farmers again. Now, this process is also being repeated on the land of Jiangnan.

The false urbanization process brought about by the mythical operation of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties that did not suppress land annexation took place with the Ming Dynasty's attack and its own collapse, and then embarked on a "regressive" process.

From a certain perspective of historical development, the Ming Dynasty turned a backward in history.

However, from the perspective of economic development, the Ming Dynasty completed the economic deviation and realization, exposing the economic bubble of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, or it also showed that the country had severely cleaned up the economy of the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, which seemed to be full of water.

The water that should be squeezed out was squeezed out, and the original appearance of the Chinese economy in the Middle Ages was revealed, and the original appearance of the most normal business economy under the current productivity level was revealed.

The economic model, which is mainly agriculture and supplemented by manual commerce, is the healthiest and most realistic economic model under the current productivity state.

If commercial income is extremely high and agricultural taxes do not occupy the main share of the court's fiscal revenue, then the dynasty will be in the near future.
