Chapter 529: Buying a field as a step to advance

There are only a few places in the world where there are rich places. Shandong is considered one place because of private salt, foreign trade, industrial and commercial prosperity and stability in the situation. Jiangnan, to be precise, is the Jiangnan area of ​​Zhejiang and Nanzhili. After hundreds of years of prosperity and prosperity, countless wealthy merchants have accumulated. Naturally, a group of wealthy people have appeared in the salt trade in the two Huaihe Rivers. There are also Shanxi merchants who have made a fortune by trade with the grasslands.

All of them are all in this troubled era, but the wealth has not been damaged, but have made a lot of money. Apart from these businessmen, the remaining rich people are the officials in the capital and Nanjing. They are officials from thousands of miles away for wealth. The high-ranking officials in the two capitals are both rich and often buy real estate at home. They are the leading landlords in the local area.

Not to mention, most of the real estates in northern Zhili except for the royal village are theirs. Many industries in northern Zhili, Henan, and even Linqingzhou and Jiningzhou also have their shadows. Of course, those in Nanjing are all in the big cities in Jiangnan.

The money of merchants is okay. They know how to seek profit and avoid harm. As long as they are given profitable projects, merchants will automatically and consciously invest money in it.

Until now, although Shandong has problems in the eyes of merchants, as long as you do not violate the rules, the King of Qi will make you make money safely and let you do business in an environment as fair as possible. This is extremely fair to the extortion of the Ming army, the Shun army, which is hostile to merchants, and the Tartars who are often looting.

But the money in the hands of merchants is part of the money, some of their money is turning around and some are investing. The ones who really have large amounts of liquid gold and silver are the ruling classes of the Ming Dynasty, those high officials with real power and those royal relatives and nobles.

For this part of the wealth, in order to maintain a smooth transition, Li Meng did not want to be tough. In history without Li Meng, after Li Zicheng's Shun Army entered the capital, he made seven thousand large shackles, and then searched for high-ranking officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty and began to torture.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles live in poverty and do not expect to suffer this suffering. Many people cannot bear to spit out their maternal property, while many people die in shackles.

After this incident, Shunjun probably obtained nearly ten million silver and a lot of physical goods, but it also completely broke with the landlords and gentry in the world.

After the Qing Tartars defeated Li Zicheng in a stone, there were wars everywhere in the northern Zhili and Henan, all of which were targeting the riots and riots of the Shun Army. The organizers were naturally the landlords and gentry who were irreconcilable with the Shun Army, retired officials, and even shameless people shouted, "The Qing Dynasty helped me to repay my destruction, and I should be loyal to you."

In the pass, for the Jiaozhou Camp, the decisive battle against Ming has been completed. The next step is to make a smooth transition, rather than conquering through destructive wars.

The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty firmly occupied the richest Jiangnan land in the world. If it really started to fight, it would not be difficult to win the battle, but Jiangnan might be seriously damaged.

The most common people in the world are farmers, but the real ruling class is the landlord. Li Meng now wants to transform into the general representative of this class, rather than standing on their opposite side.

However, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty still had some high-level families who had accumulated wealth, but they could not ignore it so much that they could hide it in the cellar and use it for their own enjoyment and purchase of luxury goods, but they could not benefit at all in the world.

How can they be willing to take out the money, and have no complaints after spending the money, and they have to form a solid community with Shandong? This is the beauty of selling land.

The sale of unowned land in Shaanxi, Henan, and northern Zhili provinces is one of the benefits of showing the position and attitude of King Qi Li Meng to the gentry and landlords in the world. King Qi is different from King Chuang. He does not represent those poor people. He is on the side of the gentry and landlords and powerful people. This time he will distribute the benefits of war to everyone.

The second advantage is that the land price is so cheap that it makes people laugh. This time, more than 60 million mu of land were released (the registered land in Henan in the 6th year of Wanli was 1449,470 hectares, which proved to be relatively reliable. One hectares are equal to one hundred mu. In this time and space, there are relatively few land in Shaanxi and northern Zhili, and several prefectures in Henan have not suffered much damage), and there are also specifications that are less than 6,000 mu that cannot be purchased. All dynasties have suppressed mergers as much as possible. It is difficult for everyone to buy some land, but Shandong does not care about selling it, which really makes people get a bargain.

Since the people of the world know about Jiaozhou Camp, Jiaozhou Camp has always done a good job in Shounuo. I believe that he has made a fortune with it. Despite so much land being sold, few people think it is a scam. Especially after the Zheng family, Fang family and Liu family all took out huge amounts of money, everyone was moved, fearing that it would be too late for them to do it themselves and that the cheaper ones would be earned by others.

Many of the original landlords fled to escape or built villages on the mountain to protect themselves. Their land was also swept away. It turned out that the legal source of the landlords' land ownership was the land deeds of the Ming government. After buying these lands and sending them to the newcomers was of course Tian Zhengsi of the King of Qi, and the same was true in Shaanxi. For Northern Zhili, the land used to sell all came from the imperial village.

Anyone who buys land must make a profit and will have greater benefits in the future, but their ownership of the land comes entirely from the legitimacy and status of the King of Qi. It is equivalent to selling land to tie all the powerful and qualified wealthy people in the North and South Pass to the same chariot. The name of this chariot is Jiaozhouying, which is the second benefit.

Of course, anyone who comes to buy land at such a low price is aware of it. Everyone is not a fool, and no one will come if he loses this transaction.

The third advantage is obvious. The large amount of money was recorded, and the military budgets jointly issued by the military officers and officers under the siege of the Prince of Qi, as well as the Secretary-General, the Inspectorate Department, the Finance and Trade Department, the Lijin Bureau and other departments were very troubled by the huge military expenditures needed in the future. There is no objection to giving priority to military protection, but other departments will also suddenly expand in the future. Although the benefits will increase significantly in the future, the first thing that will increase is the large budget and expenses.

The private salt income from various places, foreign trade, and canal transportation were held by Lijin. The sponsors of the departments under the King of Qi used to feel that they were very rich, but suddenly they became nervous.

However, due to the hostility of the Southern Ming and the King of Qi, the income of the waterway was blocked and strictly investigated, and the income was reduced a lot, making it even more difficult for everyone to lose money.

After the land was sold, everything was solved. Looking at the noisy merchants in Jinan City and the gold and silver brought by the Jiaozhou camp troops, the money was not a problem at all. The Finance and Trade Department made a rough calculation that the silver and the future income would not have any deficits in the next fifty years, and the huge expenses in the past two years are exceptions, which will last for up to five years.

As for the other benefits to the Jiaozhou Camp, the farmers on the newly occupied land were either starved to death in famine and disasters, or were recruited by the government and refugee troops to fight to the death, or they were scattered in the mountains for thieves, abandoned fields and no one was a hundred miles away. If they wanted to recover, they needed to recruit, resettle, and provide relief to all kinds of troublesome things. There were a lot of affairs. Even if Shandong increased its income from military farms and added officials to various places, it was impossible to fill the huge manpower gap in these tasks.

Let these gentry and powerful people do these tedious tasks, and the Shandong military farms will give them a good demonstration and a feasible method.

Now everyone in the world knows it. Shandong's method of comprehensive human resources is effective and profitable. Everyone buys land for money and manages. If you have such a good method, you will naturally learn. This point is also particularly noted in the strategy of selling land.

When buying these land, you must follow Shandong's guidance to operate it. Of course, everyone will not have any doubts about a way to make money.

The above benefits were thought of by Shandong. These methods took out the silver from those people from their pockets, so as not to let these huge wealth that was not under the control of King Qi become obstacles and disasters. Then they tied everyone to the same chariot, forming a ruling group with large warlords, large landlords, large bureaucrats, large merchants, and large families as a collective, and allowing local governments to integrate as soon as possible and become their own strength.

Of course, tax matters will not be tax-free like the Ming Dynasty, which is a foolish thing that weakens the country but does not receive any loyal rewards. In other words, now that these great tycoons have taken out so much gold and silver, how can they accumulate such wealth? It is not that the country has not received a single share of tax.

For those who have put out a lot of money to buy land, they have been operating land tenants much longer than most of the people in Qi Wang and Snake Whip, and they are also familiar with the corresponding business. They also know that these fields are not known. In addition to the imperial villages in northern Zhili, large pieces of land in Henan and Shaanxi require a lot of effort to become money-making things. It is certain to make a lot of money, but it is not the kind of cheap that can be easily swallowed.

The reason why I wanted to buy it and the world flocked to it was because everyone understood that it was already the general trend of King Qi to gain the world. King Qi and Jiaozhou Camp rose too quickly and quickly. Apart from a few lucky people, most of them had no chance to get in contact. This time, I gave everyone such an opportunity to give money and there was a real return on profits. So why not buy it, why not come forward to make fun.

The key is not a question of how much money you can buy it, but a question of whether you can buy it. This is considered an important symbol of whether you can have a place in the Xin Dynasty postage machine. Naturally, the land is more likely to symbolize the level of identity.
