When he thought that he would be able to get 100 million taels of silver by sending out capable agents, clearing more fields and selling them, Emperor Jinghe suddenly felt very good.
This is definitely not a wishful thinking of Emperor Jinghe.
Do you like free things?
"When ordinary people buy ten or twenty acres of land, they don't need to take all the money. They just need to get the money together within five years."
During this period, the imperial court would purchase their grain at high prices. Do you think they have confidence?
There must be!
So now Emperor Jinghe is only worried about one thing. What if some farmers overestimate their capabilities and buy more land than they can afford?
He told this question to Liu Mingqi.
Liu Mingqi is very knowledgeable about these things, because in modern times, there are too many such idiots.
He said without thinking, "Warn them to do what they can! Tell them that if they can't pay back the money, all the land will be recovered and then resold. In addition, the men in his family will be forced to work hard in the mines until all the money is paid back." come out!"
Emperor Jinghe frowned: "Isn't this too cruel?"
"This is how ordinary people are. If you don't deal with them strictly at the beginning, most of them will end up messing around." Liu Mingqi said sternly, "Your Majesty, you reminded me of this! When all the land is sold, a person will have to be stationed locally. A capable Legalist general, let him supervise the use of land by these people, draw up laws and regulations, and deal with them mercilessly.¡±
"Well, yes." Emperor Jing He thought for a moment and thought this suggestion was a good one.
"Another reason for stationing the Legalist disciples is to protect the fields in the hands of the common people." Liu Mingqi continued: "These lands were sold to them by the court at a low price. Of course, the landowners and gentry were not allowed to pick peaches. All the land was five Buying and selling is prohibited within the year, and any landlords and gentry are prohibited from purchasing land. Anyone who violates this rule will have a taste of the iron fist of Legalism!"
"good!"
Emperor Jinghe took a breath of air-conditioning and was very happy.
Liu Mingqi is truly a born saint. He can actually see so many details that ordinary people cannot see at once.
"If the land is sold to farmers, and the rich merchants, landlords and gentry buy it at a high price, which will lead to land annexation and concentration, it will definitely not be a good thing for the people!
The key is that ordinary people don¡¯t have a long-term vision and just covet immediate benefits. It¡¯s so easy to be fooled!
"If the time limit is set to five years, after five years they will have paid off the debt, all the land will be theirs, and the output will be purchased by the court. How good an industry is this? Who is willing to sell it?
"By the way, Mingqi." Emperor Jinghe suddenly asked, "What do you think about letting them all plant sweet potatoes? Don't you need a base for planting sweet potatoes? Isn't tens of millions of acres enough?"
"Enough is enough, but haven't we already made preparations in the Gyeonggi area before?" Liu Mingqi said, "They are in the Gyeonggi area, so it is easier for me to take care of and investigate, and it is also more convenient for the court to promote. If they are there, I am afraid it will be a bit inconvenient.
??Besides, their grain production is very good. It can be supplied to the Great Wall of Hebei Province, and the northeast can be supplied to Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan. In these cities, it is better to prepare rice and wheat at the beginning.
Emperor Jinghe still dared to admit his mistakes.
When he saw Liu Mingqi retorting with facts, he no longer persisted.
Liu Mingqi smiled at this time and said, "Your Majesty, you are looking for various ways to make money now, right? I have one thing here, will you do it?"
The emperor smiled brightly and said, "Stop being naughty here and tell me quickly!"
The young man didn't show off too much and said: "You also know that our Prince Yu's Mansion has invented a new type of carriage, and it is selling very well! Starting next year, we will not only make high-end versions, but also prepare to make low-end freight carriages. With such a Those freight bosses will definitely be willing to buy a stable and reliable carriage.
But we only sell carriages, not horses! If the imperial court can bring back more horses and sell them according to the high-end and low-end versions, it should be able to earn a lot of money, right?
For example, if you buy a lot of them and then choose them according to their colors, four snow-white horses can be sold for a thousand taels of silver, which is not an exaggeration! And a strong and durable horse can be bought a little more expensive than an ordinary horse, right? "
Emperor Jinghe pondered: "What's the size of your carriage? It's too small to be interesting."
Liu Mingqi said: "Our current orders are mainly from the Gyeonggi region, and there are already close to 3,000 vehicles. Businessmen from Jiangnan, Sichuan, and Guangdong combined, there can be at least 20,000 vehicles, right? If Sao?! "
"You put it lightly." Emperor Jinghe smiled angrily, "Do you know how difficult it is to buy a horse? Especially after we fought with them this year, and we have to block the border market, buying a horse under such circumstances, That¡¯s extremely difficult!¡±
"But we are not at war with the small tribal alliance!" Zhou Zhixiao responded: "They have enough horses there! If nothing else, as long as you are ruthless, you can definitely buy one hundred thousand horses."
Emperor Jinghe couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I came to you to make money by selling horses, but now it's great, but you asked me to spend a large amount of money to buy horses!"
"Actually, this is not a contradiction." Nangong Ji said: "Your Majesty, why don't we buy more and then sell the excess to Prince Yu, wouldn't we be able to make money?"
"Hey, your method is good!"
Emperor Jinghe laughed, "It seems that Mingqi always wants to be our God of Wealth!"
One horse will earn Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion two hundred taels of silver, which means buying eight horses and finally selling one horse to Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion.
Although the rich paid the bill in the end, the feeling of making such huge profits still made the emperor happy.
¡¡
When I checked the information, I saw that during the Chongzhen period, the largest horse trader in the Ming Dynasty was actually a Jurchen tribe, and there was no limit How weird!
