Chapter 576: Don't let the "Three Mountains" resurge
The skyrocketing price of land will inevitably lead to an increase in all prices.
The butterfly effect that followed was a skyrocketing price increase and inflation in all areas where land prices were soaring, eventually leading to currency depreciation and economic collapse.
The dragon coin has only just entered the issuance process, and has not yet officially entered the official circulation. Liu Xing didn't want to have worked hard to establish, enough to make Huanyu regain a good strategy of Huaxia Kyushu, and before he could officially start to implement it, he encountered this kind of crisis first.
The method is thought of by people, for Liu Xing, the thousand-year-old experience and knowledge that surpasses everyone around him determines that all problems will be solved one after another at any time when he encounters a Liu Xing whose brain has been fully and at high speed.
Liang Xing's question was only spoken for a short time, and after Liu Xing pulled Erya to sit on a big bluestone on the side and thought about it for a while, the solution was quickly formed in his mind.
"Let the Ministry of Households issue a clear decree that all households who voluntarily transfer the right to lease land and property, regardless of where they move, are prohibited from repurchasing the lease right in the newly occupied area for three years. If those people really want to get rich, and they want to become rich by selling their land contract rights, I support them. ”
He first said this, and then Liu Xing smiled strangely and said, "But if you want to be a big landlord, or a super big landlord, you definitely can't." The proceeds from the sale of land will force them to become operating capital to open shops within three years, and let those people use the capital from the sale of land to nourish a group of new capital management families for our dynasty is the best future. ”
Super big landlord, when Liang Xing heard this word, he couldn't help but be a little stunned and said: "Taifu, how much land production capacity does you have to be considered a super big landlord?" If the subordinates understand correctly, then the super big landlord should be the one who owns a lot of land. It is not very convenient for me to have such people to collect grain taxes in the future. Why don't you allow me to appear? ”
"A single family owns more than 300 acres of land that has been leased for 70 years, and is considered a small landowner. A single family can be regarded as a medium-sized landlord when the property rights of a single family reach 1,000 mu, and once a family's land property reaches 300 hectares, it can be regarded as a new large landlord. ”
First, he expounded on the preliminary definition of the landlord's ownership of land in his heart, and then Liu Xing's face sank and said: "If a family's land reaches 500 hectares, then that family can be defined as a super big landlord." ”
After another short pause, Liu Xing continued: "You can think about it, if there is a super large landlord with 500 hectares of land in a certain state capital, how much land will be left in that state capital to other people's families? What's more, once the grain production link is too concentrated. It will inevitably put some pressure on the local government to collect grain and taxes, not all of them to reduce trouble. ”
"I figured it out, it was very cumbersome to have the tax collector go down to every household to collect grain and taxes, but it was very easy to go to only one household. Why, why did Taifu think that it would put pressure on the local government? After listening to Liu Xing's words, Liang Xing asked puzzled.
Seeing him ask like this, Liu Xing smiled coldly and immediately said the dark side that he could expect.
Land concentration was supposed to be a good thing, because it was originally a household to collect and buy grain, but it was turned into a target for a certain landlord, which could indeed reduce the workload of the local government in collecting grain and taxes.
However, the Northern Dynasties are now preparing to formally establish a large imperial grain reserve in each state capital to replace the former official warehouse, and to carry out a large grain reserve for the possibility of new wars and disasters in the future.
Establishment of the Imperial Grain Reserve. Liu Xing's original intention also had another intention, that is, to use market means to stabilize prices through the imperial grain reserves. Instead of sending troops to arrest people to control prices at every turn, as in the previous feudal dynasties.
With the implementation of the new law, more and more people in the Northern Dynasties left the countryside and went to the cities. Under this general situation, Liu Xing can foresee that a large number of industrial populations will appear in the Northern Dynasties in a few years.
Rural people grow and eat their own food, and most of the surplus after paying taxes and contributions is used for self-storage in disaster years and when the harvest fails. This practice has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is nothing wrong with it and there is no need to change.
However, in a bumper harvest year, many families produce enough grain a year to feed their families for three or five years, and it becomes a little uneconomical to store them on their own. The cost of storage is too high, and the loss in the storage process is too large, which can be regarded as a waste.
Using every grain where it should be used is the best embodiment of a country and a dynasty making the best use of things instead of destroying them.
Therefore, the imperial court paid for the surplus grain to be purchased at market prices in good years, and then stored in a centralized manner. In this way, the formation of large-scale centralized reserves not only reduces the unit price loss cost of grain reserves, but also enables the largest source of grain to be in the hands of the imperial court.
If there is a disaster year, there are profiteers who want to raise the price of grain to seek huge profits and make black money, Liu Xing's idea is to directly sell official grain at a flat price to confront it, so that those profiteers will lose all their money and cannot make huge profits when the huge imperial grain reserves are poured into the market.
While stabilizing prices, the imperial grain reserve can also allow the imperial court to calmly allocate large quantities of grain to relieve disasters and save the people in times of war and disaster, so as to stabilize the rear.
And once there are super large landlords, this situation is likely to have many variables that are unfavorable to the imperial court.
First of all, if the magistrates went to buy the grain reserves, they would inevitably have to face the super-large landlords who had mastered the grain sources. According to the new law, no one can force anyone to buy or sell any commercial transaction, regardless of whether it is run by the government, the government, the government, the government, the government,
There is an iron law that you can't force you to buy and sell, and when a magistrate encounters a big landlord who has a large amount of food, he will definitely ask for three points from others and dwarves.
As long as the initiative is not in the hands of the magistrates, but is checked and balanced by the big landlords, then the local officialdom's desire to maintain honesty and public service will become nonsense.
The initiative falls into the hands of a group of landlords, and the drawbacks that can be derived are unpredictable. The landlords could take the opportunity to get the magistrates to open the door for them in many things, and to help them continue to expand the power of land annexation.
The last thing Liu Xing wanted was that this kind of power exchange eventually led to the court of the Northern Dynasties eventually returning to the bureaucratic landlord class of many previous dynasties that could only rely on the combination of bureaucrats and landlords.
The landlord class, the bureaucratic capitalist class, and the feudal aristocratic class have been the mountains on the heads of the people of the Central Plains for generations. Now that the landlord class has been beaten almost cleanly, the privileges of the feudal aristocracy have been deprived to the minimum, and the bureaucratic capitalist class has been directed in a great era that benefits the people rather than the people, Liu Xing will never allow those three mountains to resurge.
