Chapter 1080: The Rebound of the Imperial Hall
"Haha, with the words of Zhijie, I am relieved." Comrade Lao Li saw that Cheng Yanjin was so knowledgeable about current affairs, and he also said with a smile.
In fact, in the long run, the state ownership of land will definitely be implemented.
Before human beings were born, there was land. Land is a natural resource, a living environment for human beings, and a necessary space for everyone's life to survive.
Private ownership of land leads to the possession of the majority of land by a small number of people, thus controlling the right of existence of the majority.
As for the land of those nobles, in fact, Zhang Nan also has a way for them to hand over the land obediently, but Zhang Nan doesn't want to say it so simply now.
"Since all of you Aiqing agree, then so be it, tomorrow morning, this thing is proposed, see the reaction first, if it causes strong dissatisfaction, we will discuss it." Comrade Lao Li also spoke.
Comrade Lao Li himself also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, although Comrade Lao Li really wanted to turn Datang into Zhang Nan's side at one time, but Lao Li himself knew that this was impossible, so Comrade Lao Li also planned to slowly figure it out.
After discussing the details with everyone again, Comrade Lao Li let everyone go home.
On the way home, Cui Shao deliberately stopped Zhang Nan, so the two of them didn't even take the carriage, so they simply walked all the way back.
"Qingquan, since you want to raise such an important national policy issue, at least tell me in advance, otherwise my identity will pass, it will be too embarrassing, and as the patriarch of the Cui family, I naturally have to think about the Cui family, once this land is nationalized, the Cui family will have a lot less things." Cui Shao also said with emotion on his face.
Although the major families don't have much land in Chang'an City, in their base camp, which family doesn't have thousands of acres of fertile land?
Zhang Nan also felt very wronged after hearing this, after all, at the beginning he just wanted to tell Comrade Lao Li that he could afford to stimulate the economy of Chang'an City, but after the topic unfolded, Comrade Lao Li's focus was on the state ownership of land.
But the most important problem at the moment is to make Cui Shao happy.
"There is still something wrong with what my father-in-law said." Zhang Nan said.
"Oh? What is wrong with what the old man said? Cui Shao also asked.
"First of all, the first point, this thing actually does not have a great impact on the family, but the impact on the nobles is the greatest, the main source of income for the family, isn't it still to cultivate talents, and rely on entering the court as an official to improve the prestige of the family? As for the rent collection of fields, I am afraid that it is not the main source of income for the Cui family. Zhang Nan said.
"That's right." Cui Shao nodded.
Now the Cui family controls the tea business and paper business of the entire Tang Dynasty, it can be said that with these two pillar industries, the rent of the field is basically negligible for the Cui family, after all, these two businesses are national, even world-wide, because the Cui family's tea and paper have also gone abroad.
"Therefore, the father-in-law does not have to worry about the survival of the Cui family, as long as the father-in-law ensures that the Cui family firmly controls the tea and papermaking, then there will be no problem." Zhang Nan said.
"But you are so confident that this land can be nationalized, you know, not everyone in this court has an industry, and more nobles still live by collecting rent." Cui Shaodao.
"Father-in-law doesn't have to worry about this, I've already thought of countermeasures, and tomorrow morning, if someone really jumps out, I can solve them one by one." Zhang Nan looked confident, and Cui Shao was also suspicious.
In fact, Cui Shao's worries are not unreasonable, after all, Zhang Nan's move is mainly aimed at the nobles who have land, even if those businessmen or landlords are rich, the land purchased cannot catch up with the reward given by Comrade Li.
The main source of income for the nobles is to rent the fields in their hands to the common people, and the common people use their fields, not only to pay land tax and agricultural tax to the state, but also to pay rent to the landlords.
Now Zhang Nan proposes to nationalize the land and exempt the people from agricultural and land taxes, which is actually the best policy for the people.
And in order to prevent the landlords from collecting rent from the people in another name for the existing land in their hands, Zhang Nan also proposed a certain solution policy, in short, this policy is good for the people, and the nobles are not very friendly to the policy.
If it is really implemented, there are only two solutions to the large amount of land in the hands of those landlords, the first is to sell the land in their hands at a low price, after all, after the disguised rent collection is not allowed, the value of these lands will only be grown crops.
If you don't plant it, the land will be barren, and Comrade Li will be fined.
If you are reluctant to sell your land to the people, you can only hire people to help them plant, because there is no rent, so the price of this employment will definitely rise.
This is not a loss for the people, and for the imperial court, there is no harm, after all, if you do it in this way, you will be able to travel the industrial chain of agricultural products faster.
Cui Shao naturally doesn't care about his own real estate anymore, after all, there are not many, as for other families, they all have their own pillar industries, Cui Shao also believes that this land state ownership system will not cause a strong backlash from the family.
Cui Shao's estimate is actually not bad at all, the family is really like that for the nationalization of this land, but the nobles are different.
The next morning, when Comrade Li had just said this policy of wanting to implement the state ownership of land, it was as if a pot had exploded in the court.
Except for the few bigwigs who were notified in advance by Comrade Lao Li in the imperial study yesterday, the rest of the officials were like dead fathers.
After all, Comrade Li's move is to cut off their financial route.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, so these people have the expression of a dead father on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this move must not be done, once this happens, the people will be disrupted." A speaker suddenly jumped out and said.
Zhang Nan's eyes narrowed after hearing this, this is completely talking nonsense with his eyes open, as long as he is not a fool, then he can see that once he does this, he can only strengthen the people's trust in the imperial court, and improve the prestige of Comrade Lao Li among the people.
