At this moment, Zheng Lang's expression on his face was very strange, sometimes excited, sometimes worried, sometimes afraid, sometimes longing, and constantly twisting. Qi Shuwu has no pop-up windows

Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou came to Taipingzhou several times, and also met Zheng Lang several times. He had seen Zheng Lang's various expressions. Overall, it can be described in four words, with a light wind and clouds.

Looking at Zheng Lang's expression, Ma Zhizhou asked in fear: "Zheng Zheng, what impulse?"

Zheng Lang did not answer.

He was thinking about the Qingmiao method. Wang Anshi's intention was good. He could make profits for the country. The interest rate was not high, about 20%. However, if he used the state treasury to release it, even if he took back 10%, the profit would be considerable. At least it would exceed the "open source" wealth brought by sugar and reduce the high interest burden of 60 to 200%. Without this usury, many people would not go bankrupt and would not go bankrupt. The country could impose taxes, forming a series of virtuous cycles.

But if anything happens through the government and everything is presided over by the government, things will change.

It is one of the reasons for the failure of the Qingmiao Law.

The second reason for the failure is to seize the benefits of the big families and take them into state ownership.

Wang Anshi urgently needed to prove to the world that he would accumulate wealth quickly, and he was mainly based on the country and supplemented by the people, and placed the people in a very secondary position. This is the third reason for the failure.

But Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun's request for help gave him a chance.

That's the bank!

Don’t save the country and the people. As long as the country has money, the tax pressure on the people will be subsided.

It is not the fundamental point. If the three redundant ones are not solved, no matter how the law changes, it will fail. But it will relieve the pressure of the country step by step, or in other words, it will change from acute suicide to chronic suicide.

There is no need to go through the government's trouble. For example, if you have a 50-5-cent account, the government will give the big households an opportunity to release interest openly. The business will be run by the big households and the government will send them to supervise. The doctrine of the mean is there. In fact, the interest reduction has been lowered, which has given the people a way to survive. Now, saving money and transporting money require handling fees, storage fees, and interest payments are charged. As long as you save money and give some interest, the capital for lending will become sufficient.

This is a 20% advantage.

Once the snowballs start, what kind of profit will be generated. And the major powerful people will participate. It is really not possible. You can have a disguised "asset restructuring" and all of them will benefit, and you will maintain this profit.

Put everything on the table.

From the perspective of interests, the country will undoubtedly benefit, the powerful will benefit, and the people will also benefit, but the gains will be more obscure.

Even if there are some unscrupulous and big-name investors who start their own loans, they will not dare to resist this huge interest group.

But is it really the case?

When you are in your heart, you are not content.

There is no perfect system. I think this is what I think. Like Wang Anshi's reform, every law comes out with good intentions and can be implemented. Sooner or later, I will find loopholes.

Thinking of this, I finally shook my head.

Not what I'm playing for the time being.

It’s better to be a little magistrate obediently.

His face quickly calmed down, and then he stared at the two prefects.

There are several states in Xingwei around. Some of them are doing well, taking into account both interests and conflicts, but not big, and they are quietly implementing them. Half of them are not doing well, and they tend to be biased towards both ends. Shuzhou Prefect is one of them, considering the interests of major households too much.

If he had not done his own actions, he might have succeeded. But if he had done his own actions, the people would be convinced? He heard that in order to make the big households silent, he had to let the big households go home and throw them into the lake and lake. I circled the dike. It is known as the largest dike in the new Song Dynasty, covering an area of ​​3,000 hectares. The actual arable land area may be more than 1,500 hectares. Before the encirclement, more than 1,100 hectares of dikes became a dominant land.

Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou are more fun, and they almost have to be equal to the rich and poor.

Neither is desirable, but the latter is a little better than the former.

So he said, "I will tell you something. Taizu said something, that the military and national capital were all for rent and transfer. So after establishing our dynasty, officials were sent to investigate the land. Guantao ordered Cheng Di to carry the land through uneven land, and the Shanghe ordered Li Yao to die of being killed by the rod. Yuan Feng was demoted from the right to the Qufu Order. Taizong and the late emperor also issued several edicts to share the land equally."

"It's o," Liangren nodded.

This sentence is very important. Whenever the Song Dynasty entered the literary world, it was liked to talk about the legal system of ancestors. It was not what I said, but the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Song Zhenzong said that it was done. This is the legal system of ancestors, which is more effective than the Master's words.

"In the fourth year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong said that the two taxes were reduced, and I had no regrets. If they benefited the poor, they would not hate them every year. In the current prefectures and counties, the annexed families would infringe on the poor, and the land would be a cunning official who would hide the rent and taxes and evade the debts. This is a very bad thing."

"So Taizong said it too," Ma Zhizhou said in surprise.

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, really, the upper part did not know the suffering of the poor and the powerful, and the minor officials were rampant for the tiger. "In the second year of Zhidao, Taizong said that when he answered Kou Zhun in the second year of Zhidao, since Qin changed into fields, the system of well fields was no longer restored, so he was cunning and merged, and rent and taxes were reduced, and the people were abandoned and circulated... After three or five years, the year was rich and the people were prosperous and happy, they must choose to enter with strong and obedient entry. First, they were legislated from the two capitals to stop taking a hectares of land, and not to see the land reclamation and wasteland. Those who were heavy were reduced, and those who were lucky would increase it. The legal system was strictly enforced, so that the people could all be sufficient, and the lawsuit would be eliminated forever. Taizong must be called a wise ruler, and Kou Zhun must be called a strong and obedient entry. Why should those who were discussing it?"

“Why?”

Zheng Lang did not answer and continued: "During the late emperor, the censor Zhang Kuo said that there were many lands in the past, and he hoped that his son would become a dragon and according to the treaty of Tang Yuwenrong, he sent an official to investigate. The late emperor said that this matter could not be done immediately, but the taxes were not increased. The situation of the powerful was too strong and the land was too low, and the taxes were too low, and the taxes were heavy. Therefore, the rich became richer and the poor became poor. The land was uneven, and the land was as predecessor, but it was necessary to gradually make a decision. In this gradual period, even the proposal was not seen. The late emperor was also a king who loved the people, and the king was even a virtuous prime minister, so why did it not be implemented?"

It cannot be said that these few entry are not good. Kou Zhun was an important hero in the country's turnaround. Wang Dan was ranked in the Secretariat and was the most important stick of Emperor Zhenzong of Song in his later years. Both prefects did not know how to answer.

It’s not that he would not change, Kou Zhun and Wang Dan were very smart. Even though they knew that there were many troubles to change, it would be better to retreat in advance. Later, Guo Zi only inspected one county in Caizhou and obtained 26,930 hectares of land. Zheng Lang worked hard in Taipingzhou and only produced 7,000 hectares, while the number of acres that a county escaped was nearly 27,000 hectares, which was almost four times more! Then he "worked again" and stopped. After many investigations, he ended without complaints. When Bao Zheng was appointed as the commander of the Third Division, he was dissatisfied and took five or six officials down to investigate. After checking several states, he was very conscious and wrote a letter saying that he could not do everything he could to go to, so I couldn’t investigate. He fled back to the capital.

It would be better if I didn’t check it. I made a paper tiger, and it became worse when I checked it. It turned out that the court did this. So "Since Huangyou, since the past ten years, 470,000 hectares of land were reclaimed, but the land was less than 860,000 hectares of land."

Before the two people understood it, they asked again: "Why?"

It's really hard to check.

For example, now, Zhao Zhen will not shelter the Cao family, but the eldest princess of Wei, who saved his life, came out to ask for it. What should I do?

What should I do if the ministers of Qingliu found out that the Wang family and Cai family were? What should I do if the "small people" found out that the Lu family?

But Zheng Lang would not answer. He continued: "Don't ask why, you want to succeed, but there is a way."

"What's the way?"

"This year, your white pallets have been distributed, but not, and there are not many extra pallets."

"Yes," Ma Zhizhou replied, giving him a sense of accomplishment. Thousands of extremely poor households have been settled since then.

"Just say something to those dike owners, you will make some concessions. When you encircle the dike in the second half of the year, you will compensate them for half of the dike. They are small dikes, which will be broken in two or three times in ten years. This is a big dike, and the nature is completely different. Then you can succeed."

"Is it that we will make concessions to them?"

"Take a step back and the sea is vast and empty." You have a good heart, but if you continue like this, you will soon be demoted. What else can you talk about?

He said that and walked out.

After a while, two middle-aged people walked in.

Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun didn't care either. Taipingzhou had many affairs. They sat there for a while and saw Zheng Lang dealing with several things.

But two middle-aged people walked straight towards them, and one of them was tall and thin, and asked, "Are you Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun?"

"Yes, you guys..."

"We are sugar supervision officers. My surname is Song and his surname is Tang."

"It turned out to be Manager Song and Manager Tang, you come to us..." Ma Zhizhou asked suspiciously.

There are six managers in the Sugar Farm, who are responsible for jointly managing the Sugar Farm with the Shangren Group and the Sugar Farm. This incident has long been spreading. However, the two people seem to be interested in finding them, and Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun are a little puzzled.

"That's right. We occasionally hear that the two prefects need money and we can lend it to you."

"you?"

"It's not that we both came in, but that we lend it to you in the name of the sugar shop."

Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun looked at each other, with a little confused.

"If you want to come with us, if we hear it wrong, then don't bother you."

Why don’t you want it? But when it comes to business, they all think of the unscrupulous usury loan shark. Huang Zhijun asked: “How much is the annual interest rate?”

"The annual interest rate is 10% and if you can't pay it back this year, you will repay three points next year."

"How is that possible?" The two prefects were a little confused. The entire Song Dynasty did not have such low interest rates, which was five points lower than the grain loans and cattle loans issued to the people the year before yesterday.

"Please believe that this is a city of miracles."

He was taken to the workshop in a daze. The two joined the other officials and the supervisor Lu Erlang and told him about giving interest to Ma Zhizhou and Huang Zhijun.

The reason for this is very simple. It is separated by the Yangtze River and goes further north. It is possible that the cane is no longer sweet due to climate differences, but a large amount of sugarcane can be planted in some places by the river.

Ma Huang Erren nodded. Unlike Zheng Lang's early days, he had a lot of land and it was not enough to rely on food alone. Besides, they were all extremely poor families and had no additional side jobs. After autumn, one plus taxation. If something happened at home, half of the interest might not be able to be paid.

It was precisely for this reason that I asked Zheng Lang for sugarcane and cotton seeds.

The two managers continued: "If the workshop has a prospect, there must be a large number of sugar sources in the surrounding areas. This funding will not only help the Wuwei Army and the Hezhou Wei people, but also help the sugar workshop itself. Maybe Xuanzhou and Guangde Army can also learn sugarcane seeds, and in the future, they can transport large quantities of sugar sources from far away Jiangsu and Zhejiang to provide workshop production. Besides, the two prefects are also good, and they have some annual interest. The lenders also have land deeds and use land deeds as guarantees. Why can't they lend?"

Ma Huang Erru nodded again.

This is the difference between Shangzhi and the court. Shangzhi is always thinking about how to expand profits. The court is so specialized that officials are either greedy except for plundering political achievements.

Lu Erlang stood up and opposed: "No, after February, the production of sugar will stop and the profits must be turned over to the court. I do not agree with this move."

After a long debate, the two officials of Song and Tang said, "Then vote."

Six shares are invested in six shares, and two shares are Lu Erlang, and the dispute result is determined based on the number of shares.

But Ma Huang looked at each other and thought to himself that he was really coming.

I really voted, and I voted by raising my hands. The four people agreed with the proposal of the Song and Tang managers. They all joined the big families in other places, and they took up 40% of them. The master behind them was rich and they didn't care. They would immediately get a harvest.

Two of Taipingzhou's own managers chose to abstain.

Ma Huang was surprised.

However, there are conditions. The interest rate for the loan is low, and each household cannot exceed twenty yuan. If it is too much, it will definitely not be able to repay it. Even if it is 15% annual interest, and the land deed is guaranteed at the price of two yuan per acre of land. The repayment period is up to four years. When the loan is loaned, you must bring a household registration to prove that it is a resident of the market, and the household, etc. The sugarcane planted must belong to the sugar shop.

Some trivial conditions such as similar, but not excessive.

Finally, everyone agreed on the conditions, Magistrate Ma and Huang Zhizhou came out and looked at each other.

These are more preferential than conditions. Don’t be too much. As long as you plant ten acres of sugar cane, the sugar content may not be as good as the sugar content in the areas south of the Yangtze River. However, there is only one river, and the difference is not much. If you plant it well, you may repay the debt in one year.

This doesn't need to be considered.
