Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan aggressively.
He wants an explanation.
to be honest.
¡°This is so black-hearted.
How can it be so deceptive.
Fang Jifan smiled.
He glanced at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao looked like he had eaten a fly.
It seems that he really took the blame.
At this time, Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, now potatoes and sweet potatoes are being vigorously promoted. According to what I know, various provinces have begun large-scale planting. Last year and this year, there was almost no food shortage in the provinces, and even, because of this It has led to the ups and downs of land prices. Why? Because there is no shortage of food. If there is no shortage of food, the price of food will naturally be cheap. The so-called low price of grain hurts farmers. How can it hurt? With a large amount of land, people no longer have the intention to grow food. Landowners in the countryside, They believe that there is no profit from renting land to farmers, and even if they get food, it is at a low price. Naturally, they have no motivation to rent out all the land. So right now, people seem to be barely able to eat. I was full and drunk, but a large number of refugees were born!"
Fang Jifan told the problem.
At this point, Emperor Hongzhi also frowned. The Jiangxi Chief Envoy¡¯s report did contain this situation. The Fujian Chief Envoy and the Henan Chief Envoy also had more or less similar situations. "
It¡¯s strange to say that there are refugees in lean years, but there are still refugees in good years.
??The farmers are hurt when the grain is cheap, and the farmers are hungry when the grain is expensive.
In other words, if the grain is too cheap, it will impact agriculture and seriously reduce people's enthusiasm for farming, and even many people will abandon the land. But once grains are too expensive, it is often caused by disasters. When disasters occur, grain prices skyrocket, and people have no choice but to go hungry.
The balance between this is really difficult to grasp.
Fang Jifan continued: "Let's just talk about the Chief Envoy of Jiangxi Province. In that area alone, tens of thousands of new refugees have been added. This is only official statistics. I don't know if there is any concealment. Your Majesty, if this continues, the two If the thirteen provinces of Beijing are like this, how can they get it? The reason is that there is only so much land and so many people. Once the harvest of the land increases sharply and there is more food than the needs of the people, then this food will inevitably It will accumulate. Now, the Ming Dynasty does not need so much land to feed the current population. It is meaningless to continue farming. The current problem is that there are too many farmers."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and many signs had begun to appear.
With too many farmers, the problem will only get worse.
Fang Jifan immediately said: "But the problem is, once these refugees no longer cultivate the land, what will they rely on for a living? Can they be allowed to wander around so that they lose sight of hope for life, accumulate dissatisfaction with the court, and eventually burst out? Resentment turned them from refugees into mobs and villains. If they continue to be left unchecked, sooner or later, a catastrophe will occur."
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s heart was heavy. What he said was correct.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "That's why I said that our Crown Prince is a wise man. His Crown Prince just slapped his head and solved this problem. For example build a new city."
"This is money-making!" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan. No matter how much Fang Jifan confuses right and wrong, he can't get around it.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "No, this is to resettle the refugees. Your Majesty, please think about how many manpower we need to recruit to build a new city and build your palace. I have calculated that a new city in the capital alone will require more than a hundred people." There are various workshops, including those who make concrete, those who make ceramic tiles, those who burn kilns, and those who make glass The manpower vacancies needed in these workshops now exceed 50,000, and 50,000 people have jobs. Doing it, what does this mean? It means that 50,000 households can be resettled, which is a population of 200,000."
Fang Jifan continued: "On the construction site, there are still countless masons, stonemasons, carpenters and countless coolies of all kinds. How many people are this? Even if it is less, I am afraid that it will be too many. Thousands of people. Taken together, the manpower required is at least 100,000. In the future it can even increase to 100,000, which means 100,000 families and hundreds of thousands of people. They can rely on these to make a living. Those who are unable to cultivate the land have to get out of the land, and from then on, they can receive wages. Not to mention, these people still need food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I don¡¯t know how much demand it will generate.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, is this okay?
Fang Jifan sighed: "But how can it be so easy to feed so many people? Where did the imperial court get so much money? It's not in the treasury, and it can't be found in the internal funds, even if it's money."??Can you really get this money by selling the iron? "
Emperor Hongzhi was silent.
Fang Jifan said: "Since none of them can get out, someone can. For example in this world, how many officials, nobles, and wealthy people have countless wealth hidden in their homes? They have money in their hands! Even a family's wealth, The wealth of ten families, a hundred families, a thousand families, and ten thousand families, I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that this wealth can be ten times or even twenty times the current national treasury income. , thirty times.¡±
"Your Majesty, their money was willing to be used to build a new city, and they got their own new house. During the construction process, hundreds of thousands of people were able to be fed. With the money, these hundreds of thousands of people may be born Consumption, and I don¡¯t know how many merchants and people can be supported. This is a hugely profitable business. It not only solves the current problem of refugees the prince and his sons can also make some money from it. Where is your majesty? Your majesty has got a new one. Palace, not only that, the value of new palaces is also rising with the increase in housing prices. Your Majesty, this acre of land is worth ten thousand taels of silver. The land of Daming Palace is even more valuable than ordinary mansions. There are no three Ten thousand taels of silver cannot buy an acre. In terms of market value, once all the new palaces are built, the Daming Palace will be worth at least fifty million taels of silver, or even more."
Emperor Hongzhi took a breath of cold air.
It sounds like a perfect result, and everyone seems to have benefited from it.
No, it doesn¡¯t sound right no matter what. What¡¯s the problem?
Emperor Hongzhi remembered those impeachment memorials. Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "But do you know that many people are complaining now that the housing prices in the new city are actually higher than those in the old city."
"But the prices in the old city have dropped." Fang Jifan said innocently: "If they can't afford the new city, they can live in the old city. Besides, I dare to ask Your Majesty, ordinary people will buy mansions in the new city. ?"
Emperor Hongzhi was slightly startled.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "They don't know how to buy it. Many of them are still refugees or hungry. Even if they have enough to eat, they may not be able to afford clothes for their children."
Fang Jifan took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi and finally said: "Your Majesty, the refugees have no jobs and no way out. When they are resentful and dissatisfied, they will gather together. Throughout the dynasties, once such people lose hope of survival, They will rebel. From Chen's victory over Wu Guang, to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then to Huang Chao, which time was this not the case?"
"But" Fang Jifan said meaningfully: "But historically, has your Majesty ever heard of someone who hopes to buy a mansion in the new city with hundreds or thousands of taels of silver? No matter how dissatisfied he is, no matter how he complains, Even if they gnash their teeth and hate it deeply, will theyconspire to rebel?"
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s expression changed.
Suddenly, all the ideas became clear.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
The people at the bottom have no way out. Once they become desperate, they have no choice but to fight back.
But those young officials who complain, as well as those small businessmen, small business owners, and people with relatively good financial resources who cannot afford to buy in the new city are the biggest victims of the new city, because only They were wronged because they wanted to buy a mansion, but the price made them very hurt. They will definitely complain and grumble
But for such people, who have a family and a job, and live a prosperous life except for not owning a house. They have wives and children. Will they rebel?
There has never been such a person
Which one is more important is clear at a glance.
Fang Jifan said sincerely: "Of course, they will be resettled in the future, but we should give priority to resettling the refugees. If no one buys a house, the new city will not be built. It will not require so much labor, and it will not be possible to build such a Duokongfang, this is the plan of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has put all his efforts into resettling the refugees, and I admire him very much."
Yeah?
¡°Suddenly, the resentment on Zhu Houzhao¡¯s face disappeared again, and unexpectedly what Lao Fang said made sense.
He coughed: "Father, that's right, that's what I think."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and couldn't help but said: "But how to deal with these impeachment memorials? You also know that they are making a lot of trouble now. If the impeachment continues, can I ignore it?"
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, they will be suppressed severely within three to five days."
Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan's complacency.
He couldn't help but frown: "Oh? Don't mess around."
Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, how could a man who has studied like this do something that violates laws and disciplines? Everyone in the capital praised me, saying that he convinced others with his virtue and had the style of an ancient minister. If your Majesty doesn¡¯t believe it, you can ask Ouyang Zhi.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi: ""
"I just believe that there will be enlightened and benevolent people in the court who will refute these ridiculous memorials. Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
"Really?" Emperor Hongzhi was worried and felt suspicious!
