Is the rent of one acre of paddy field high for seven buckets of white rice...... It depends on whether it is an official field or a private field?

If it's Guantian, it's just a joke! Not to mention seven buckets, on average, seven liters may not be able to be collected.

If it's a private land, who rents you without a stone of rice? The really high-quality paddy fields are guaranteed in drought and flood, and there is no problem with producing rice and three stones a year. You can also raise a little fish and shrimp in the paddy field, and you can sell it for a few bucks.

If you can rent such a field for one stone of rice, it has to be a "big farmer" like Ye Jiaxin, and ordinary poor middle peasants don't even think about it!

Because the "big farmers" have a relatively strong risk tolerance and a high level of operation, they generally do not have any difficulty in paying land rent. In addition, they can also pay a certain amount of deposit. Therefore, the landlords are willing to rent land for them to plant, even if they charge less rent.

And the risk tolerance of "small farmers" is weak. This small force is weak! Moreover, the management level of "small farmers" is generally not as good as that of large farmers, and they will lose money when they are not careful. When the time comes, there will be problems paying the rent...... In addition, small farmers generally do not have the ability to pay more deposits, and sometimes have to borrow farm tools and cattle from landlords, so the rent they need to pay is a little higher.

The landlord's leasing of land is actually similar to the lending of banks in later generations...... Of course, the premise is that it can really operate in the market.

"Guantian, can you rent it?" Ye Jiaxin asked him questions while following Yao Daqiao.

"Yes!" Yao Daqiao said, "You don't know, do you? The imperial court openly rented public land in Nanzhili...... It's not much, but it's still available for rent. ”

Ye Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, "Open for rent?" Where did Tian come from? ”

"First, tenants quit their tenants...... At present, the public land managed by the Juntun Division cannot be subleased, and can only be returned if it is not rented. Yao Daqiao said, "The second is to drive tenants!" ”

"What? Can the public land still be driven away? ”

"Of course you can!" Yao Daqiao said, "What should I do if I can't pay the rent and don't drive?" If this matter can be accommodated, then in a few years, the imperial court will not have a rent of 10 million stones a year! ”

The eviction of tenants from public fields was unthinkable in the past! But Zhu Cihong still granted authority to the military tun below...... He can't do that if he doesn't!

Military spending is increasing, and more and more people are coming from the north.

If the imperial court doesn't have a foundation, it won't be long before Zhu Cihong has to follow the old path of Emperor Chongzhen!

And now the imperial court has limited ways to make money, and the rent of Guantian and Juntun is a big deal...... There are 16 million stones that can be stored in a year alone!

If not, Zhu Cihong's court is likely to be unable to mix.

Therefore, since the beginning of the year, it has been repeatedly said that although a tenant has not really been driven away (after paying the rent, it has just begun), but people's ears have already heard the cocoon.

Yao Daqiao said: "According to the rules of the Juntun Division, the public land is leased by bidding. ”

"How?" Ye Jiaxin is interested, he is best at farming!

Yao Daqiao said: "First, see who has the highest rent? However, the rent is capped, and one acre of land is at most seven buckets of rice.

The second is to see who gives the most deposit...... There is no cap on the deposit, so whoever gives more will be able to rent the land. ”

In fact, the "deposit bidding" is a rent increase in disguise! Because the deposit is not interest-bearing. It's just that Zhu Cihong is unwilling to tear off the mask of "benefiting the people", and at the same time hopes to attract powerful "big farmers" to rent land, so he uses this method.

Yao Daqiao said with a smile: "Brother, I still have some money in my hand, which is stored in the Yanshang Bank, so it was not copied by Li Zicheng...... Now the boat has been taken away by the Zuo family, and the trade of selling rice to the southeast cannot be done, so I want to bid for a piece of public land. But I don't know how to plant it! ”

"Wrapped up in me, wrapped in me!" Ye Jiaxin is already smiling, and there is finally a little hope in his life!

It's just that I don't know when Zhu Cihong will start to rectify the Guantian Juntun in Huguang?

When the two were talking, they had already entered the Hanyang Gate, and inside the Hanyang Gate was the bustling streets and alleys of Wuchang Fucheng.

The circumference of Wuchang City in the Ming Dynasty was twenty miles, and there were nine gates. The area of the city is only about six square kilometers, and a large area will be set aside to build the palace of the king of Chu. Therefore, the territory left for ordinary residents is very cramped, and now it is squeezed into three or four hundred thousand people, and the congestion of the city can be imagined.

So as soon as he walked into Hanyang Gate, Ye Jiaxin felt the noise on his face.

Ye Da farmer, who spent most of his time in the countryside, was very uncomfortable and had a feeling of dizziness. Faintly, I could hear someone shouting something.

"Petition, go and petition His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I have to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send troops to expel the Liukou and recover the lost land in Huguang!"

"The lost ground must be reclaimed! At least we must recover the Heavenly Mansion......"

Ye Jiaxin listened to it for a while, and he was also interested, so he wanted to listen to it, but Yao Daqiao dragged him towards his house. When he walked to a quiet alley, he whispered to him, "Modo has thought about it...... The prince has a big idea, how can he listen to a group of scholars who have lost their family? They lost their family business, and they were all anxious, so they naturally wanted to fight back, but what was the prince anxious about? Li Zicheng went undefeated for a day, and the southern part of Huguang was left to him to rectify! No matter how neat he is, he won't be able to dictate the field! ”

Yes, Li Zicheng wants to dictate the field, and he also needs to be exempted from debts and interest...... It's really forcing the gentry and profiteers to go bankrupt!

And as long as Zhu Cihong Dingtian takes back the Guantun military field, he is not afraid of not knowing the goods, he is afraid of comparing the goods! As long as Li Zicheng is still in Hanyang and is not beaten away, Zhu Cihong will be able to let go of the rectification of Huguang and not worry about anyone making trouble.

......

"Wuchang City is still small, only three or four hundred thousand people are crowded with the city, how can it be the capital of Jiang? It's going to have to be expanded...... At least triple it! You have to organize it well, and you have to set aside a special place for people to do business and start a workshop.

By the way, the rivers on this side of Wuchang City are no less than those in the south of the Yangtze River! There are many hydraulic hammers that can be repaired...... The Westerners of Haoao will use water hammers to forge drills and cuts, and I heard that there are also people in Shanghai who imitate them. There must be people in Wuchang who will do this, so we have to find a place where we can repair waterwheels to expand Wuchang City. ”

Just when some Huguang gentry who were exiled to Wuchang City were tossing and turning to carry out "sending troops to petition", Zhu Cihong settled down in the palace of the king of Chu, not only was he anxious about the people's urgency, but he was also discussing the expansion of Wuchang City with Liu Kongzhao, Qiu Yu, and Fang Gongyue.

Liu Kongzhao said: "Master Chitose, isn't it a little early to discuss this matter now?" ”

"Yes," Qiu Yu also said, "Li Zicheng's soldiers are still in Hanyang Mansion!" ”

Fang Gongyue said: "There are also Hongyi cannons on Turtle Mountain!" ”

"Not early, not early, it's just right now." Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Now there are so many refugees in Wuchang City, so they are just cashing in for work and letting them help build the new city." Moreover, Li Zicheng's soldiers are in the city, and the land price inside and outside Wuchang City is very cheap, so it can be purchased at a low price! ”

It's money! Buy at a low price now, and sell at a high price when it develops in the future, or only rent but not sell...... A big Shanghai, a big Wuhan, can develop, and the domestic capital will be full in the future!

Zhu Cihong counted the accounts of real estate development, and he was about to laugh from ear to ear, where is this still a prince? It's clearly a real estate profiteer!

But it's no wonder that Zhu Cihong is doing this, it's all Chongzhen's fault! He is now a prostitute and spends money like a flood...... The big filial son doesn't earn a few more small goals, can he afford to support the poor and extravagant Emperor Chongzhen in the future?

Just when he felt that his filial piety touched the sky, the foreman guard Yan Yingyuan suddenly walked in from outside, saluted Prince Zhu, and then reported: "Lord Qiansui, the people from Jinyi Weinan Mansion have just come to report that the gentry and scholars in Wuchang City are planning to petition. ”

"Oh." Zhu Cihong nodded, noncommittal.

Yan Yingyuan said: "It is said that they are going to the Yangtze River to petition!" ”

"What?" Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment, "Go to the Yangtze River?" Want to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river? ”
