Chapter 65 Zhang Guozhu, who is ahead of his time

This kid is a fool.

The Yun family is not big, with two sons and a daughter.

According to the principle that the stronger the stronger, Yun Zhang must be the patriarch of the Yun clan and the heir to all the property of the Yun clan, this heir refers to the inheritance of the property in the hands of Yun Niang, as for Yun Zhao, there is no son in his hands.

Yun Niang's property must ultimately be Yun Zhao's, that is, it must be Yun Zhang's.

According to the rules of the distribution of property in the big family, the eldest son owns everything, the second son has nothing, and in the more ruthless family, even brothers and sisters belong to the eldest son, and have enough power to decide their life and death.

It is said that only this method can make the ancestors accumulate more and more wealth, so that the strength of the family will not be weakened in the end because of the separation.

This method is very shameless and ruthless, but within the Yun Clan, even Yun Niang, who loves Yun Xian the most, has no intention of giving any property to Yun Xian or Yun Xuan.

However, the property in Qian Duoduo's hands belongs to Yunxian.

Yun Hu, Yun Leopard, Yun Jiao, and Yun Xiao will all share a part of their property to Yun Xian, just like Yun Meng gave eighty percent of his property to Yun Xian before he died, in their eyes, it is not safe for the Yun clan to rely only on Yun Zhang, and there is still a need for a spare candidate.

It was by this method that the Yun clan lasted for more than a thousand years.

It stands to reason that the family that has lasted for more than a thousand years should be a big family anyway, but the population of the Yun clan is pitiful, most of them are tribals, and they have been attached to the Yun clan for a long time, and they have become members of the Yun clan.

Just like the cloud tiger, the clouded leopard, the cloud Jiao, the clouds.

In the long development process of the Yun clan, due to the existence of the Yin clan, the men in the family suffered heavy casualties, and they needed to constantly transfer manpower from the Yang clan to maintain the Yin clan, so after more than a thousand years, the Yun clan did not exterminate the clan, which is already commendable.

"Dad, you're saying I'm going to be a robber in the future? The country is our family, could it be that the child is going to harm my brother? ”

Yun Xian seems to be interested in becoming a Yin Clan......

Then, the poor child was whipped by Yun Zhao with his belt again.

was whipped twice by his father with his belt in half a month, and Yun Xian was very dissatisfied!

He saw it as a sign that his father was ready to abuse him.

This is indeed the case, Yun Zhao began to beat him, which proved that Yun Zhao wanted to deepen Yun Xian's memory over and over again, and it was best to form a physical memory until he forgot the idea of harming his brother.

The clouded leopard was very satisfied with Yun Zhao's beating of Yun Xian, and he had long wanted to beat him.

It's useless to just talk about this kind of thing.

After August, Guanzhong will completely enter autumn.

Seriously, autumn in Guanzhong is the most beautiful time, as for spring, there is no spring in Guanzhong, after the cold winter is over, as long as the sun is basking for a few days, not waiting for the grass in the mountains to grow taller, Guanzhong will be eager to enter the summer.

The summer in Guanzhong was an ordeal for everyone.

Maybe God is trying to compensate for the disasters suffered by Henan, this autumn, Guanzhong is ripe!

Looking at the ears of grain as thick as a child's arm and half a foot long, Yun Zhao groaned for a long time.

He sighed softly, and took out Hong Chengchou's fold from the fold pile, in this fold, Hong Chengchou counted the benefits of farming in the Nanyang, and believed that with the continuous increase in the carrying capacity of the Daming sea ships, the time was ripe for the sea grain from the Nanyang to enter the Daming coast.

In his play, the ports of Jiangyin, Xiuzhou Huating, Xiuzhou Luopu, Hangzhou, Mingzhou, Wenzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Zhangzhou can all become ports that accept Nanyang rice grain.

Among them, the rice and grain received by Hangzhou and Mingzhou can go straight to the capital along the renovated Grand Canal, so as to ensure that the people in the north will not be left without food due to natural disasters.

He even suggested that the empire should build seaports in Dengzhou and Tianjin in Shandong, so that the grain by sea could enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty more smoothly.

In Nanyang, the price of a load of rice is only about 20% of that of the Central Plains, and even after excluding transportation losses and freight, the price of a load of rice is still only 70% of the local grain price in the Central Plains.

This alone can completely reduce the price of food in Daming by 30%, or even more.

This sounds like a good thing, however, in the purely agrarian society of the Ming Dynasty, the price of grain must be kept at a constant price.

When food prices are low, it is a disaster for farmers.

The high price of grain is also a disaster for the imperial court, because, with the soaring price of grain, the soaring price of grain, which is a barometer of the price of the Ming Dynasty, will inevitably cause all prices in the Ming Dynasty to begin to soar.

What's more, the people in Guanzhong still plant the most crops such as millet, millet, and corn, and the value of these crops itself is not comparable to rice.

Therefore, Sinong Temple, the Prime Minister's Mansion, will set a constant price for grain every autumn to protect the interests of the farmers and the imperial court.

In the past, according to the practice of Lantian County, the imperial court would buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people at a protective price, store it in the grain depot, and wait until the disaster year to go out at a reasonable price, so that the people of Guanzhong could always eat the cheap grain.

This kind of peaceful life seems to be able to go on for a long time, as if there is no need to change it at all.

For the government, every reform and every progress is actually a process of asking for hardships.

Obviously, with so much rice, the people in the country can eat a few more bites of rice, which seems to be good for everyone.

However, once it is implemented, it will be destabilizing and have a devastating impact on the self-sufficient Daming farmers.

This kind of stability is really only a fragile stability, and it will collapse immediately in the event of a major disaster, or a major disaster for several years in a row.

That's how Zhu Ming died.

However, accepting Hong Chengchou's method is also an unreliable thing.

Yun Zhao knows.

The price of grain in the South Seas is actually a deformed price.

The main thing is that the grain that Hong Chengchou received in Nanyang is almost cost-free, and in Annan alone, he receives 7 million quintals of grain a year.

This is the result of his desperate efforts to expand the grain cultivation area in Annam, and this predatory cultivation method has not only destroyed many forests, grasslands, and hills in Annam, but also destroyed the last hope of the people of Annam.

When planting three crops of rice a year, only 60% of one crop belongs to oneself, and the rest must be handed over.

In addition to the cost of collecting grain, there is no other cost for this batch of grain, so in the process of producing grain, the people in the country cannot compare with the price of grain plundered by Hong Chengchou.

Yun Zhao didn't know if the Annan people would be willing, anyway, if it was put on his head, he would definitely rebel.

Hong Chengchou also said in the recital that it will be a long process to show mercy to the Annamite people, and whenever the Annam people have the urge to riot, he is ready to compensate the Annamite people a little, for example, leaving 70%, 80%, or even 90% of the income of a season to the Annamite people, or leaving all the rice in a season to the Annamite people.

Yun Zhao believes in Hong Chengchou's methods of manipulating people's hearts.

I also believe that he can accurately grasp the temper flashpoint of the Annan people.

However, once so much grain enters the Ming Dynasty, the harm to the farmers of the Ming Dynasty is real.

After planting food, the income is very low, no longer growing food, and there is no way to get money, expecting the current weak industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty to absorb so many farmers, Yun Zhao feels that this is very unrealistic.

Therefore, how such a large amount of grain should enter the country and where it should go, we need to think carefully, which is a difficult problem.

When Zhang Guozhu came, Yun Zhao was still a little irritable, he could starve people to death when there was no food, and it was also very annoying when there was too much food.

"Seven million quintals of grain?"

Zhang Guozhu smiled after reading Hong Chengchou's recital.

Yun Zhao said: "The grain is all for you, you are responsible for giving money to Hong Chengchou, and you are responsible for ensuring that the price of grain in the Central Plains will not fall, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Guozhu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how much food is there?" ”

Yun Zhao spread out the map and pointed to Henan: "This year, in addition to the lack of food here, Shanxi is slightly lacking, you come to tell me, there is still a shortage of food there?" ”

Zhang Guozhu gestured with his hand on the huge map of the Ming Dynasty and said: "There is a shortage of food everywhere, as for whether to give Hong Chengchou money, how much to give, we don't have the final say?"

Your Majesty always thinks that income and payment should be equal, haven't you thought that Annan is actually not in the Ming Dynasty?

These grains are actually the surplus of my Ming Dynasty.

Although Guanzhong said that it ushered in the year of ripening, it is really just that there is no shortage of food, and the people are still accustomed to the days of half a year's grain for melons and vegetables. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "Are you going to distribute this grain to the people?" ”

Zhang Guozhu said with a smile: "Just give it to the farmer." ”

Seeing that Yun Zhao still looked incomprehensible, Zhang Guozhu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we just put this grain in the hands of the people." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I know the truth, hide the wealth from the people!" ”

Zhang Guozhu took a cigarette and lit it and said: "If you want the people to become rich, it depends on the people, not on us officials.

The spontaneous prosperity of the people is the prosperity that the people need.

It is a good thing that there are more materials, it is a great thing, we send the extra materials to the people, and the people naturally know how to deal with these excess materials for us.

With these rice grains, it may be enough to marry a daughter-in-law who does not have enough money and food.

If you don't have enough money to build a new house, maybe the house will be built.

With this money and grain, the family that could only raise one pig might have gritted their teeth and raised two, and raised more chickens and ducks.

On the whole, the life of the people will be better.

And we have also achieved the goal of making the people rich in another way. ”

Yun Zhaohu looked at Zhang Guozhu suspiciously and said, "Do you think no one will scold us for being stupid?" ”

Zhang Guozhu spat out a puff of smoke and said: "As far as I know, such a foolish emperor, the people may really hope that he can live to long live, long live, long live!" ”
