    There was complete silence in the backyard of the big Liu family.

    Every visitor fell into a deathly silence.

    People were silent, trying to digest.

    ?????????????????????????

    To put it bluntly, this is unprecedented and unprecedented.

    I have read through history books and have never heard of such a thing.

    If it's just a gentry who is confused, it doesn't actually matter. A gentry can own as much land as he wants. If he is exempted from rent, he will naturally be eliminated, because it won't take long before he goes bankrupt and then the land will be  Discount sale.

    ¡°But what if it¡¯s hundreds of millions of acres of land and the tenant rent can be waived directly?

    This is such a terrible thing.

    His successoris he going to eat dirt?

    But it is obvious that Xishan Bank is now rich in wealth, and the land it acquired was obtained at the lowest price. In the eyes of these visitors, it is almost the same as robbery.

    Since people dare to avoid it, they can always earn it back from other places.

    Butwhat should we do?

    The current tenancy can be roughly divided into two types.  One is that all the output of the land is divided between the gentry and the tenants in proportion. For good places, it is 50-50, and for poor places, it is 30-70. The gentry gets 7 and the tenants get 3.

    Of course, this equal division method is relatively gentle.

    There is another kind, which is called iron plate rent. The so-called iron plate rent means that if you can harvest three hundred kilograms of rice from one acre of land, according to regulations, if you rent the land, you will be charged one hundred kilograms of rice from this one acre of land.  It ranges from eighty pounds to two hundred pounds.

    ????????????????? It seems that there is no difference between the iron plate rent and the equalization method, but don¡¯t forget that even tenants need to pay grain taxes and corvee. In recent years, the corvee can be deducted with silver, but it is still more.  As for this fixed grain payment, plus the imperial grain, ordinary tenants would be fine if it was a good year. However, once there is a disaster year and grain production decreases, this acre of land may not be able to grow 180 kilograms of grain, which is equal to  All year round, farming was in vain, all the grain was confiscated, and the gentry might still be owed some money for grain.

    At this time there are often some friendly gentry who will forgive the grain owed by the tenants. There are many such good gentry, and they are usually called great good people.

    This is the case for Wang Shixun. His family is in Qinghe, and he has been known as Wang Dashanren for more than ten generations.  His great ancestor was Wang Dashanren, his grandfather was Wang Dashanren, and his father was Wang Dashanren. When he came to this place, he was naturally a Wang Dashanren.

    Therefore, once many people are reduced to being tenants, almost their children and grandchildren will never be able to stand up, because in a good harvest year, your family can barely have enough to eat, and you may even have to be full and hungry.  , all the excess grain grown was used for grain taxes and rent.

    But once there is a disaster year and the food is reduced, not only will there be no harvest, but also countless rents will be owed to good people. Such a snowballing debt will never be repaid by future generations.

    The refugee problem in the Ming Dynasty, at least for now, is not just caused by natural disasters. With the increase in population, land annexation, and frequent natural disasters, many tenant farmers found that even if they rented fields and worked hard, they would not be able to work hard during the slack season.  , they completed their official duties peacefully, but in fact most of the time, they may not be able to earn their own food rations, and even may still owe a lot of debt because of the iron plate rent.

    So people fled.

    Over the years, the income from land has continued to increase, and the emergence of a large number of new crops has allowed many tenant farmers to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

    But in fact, it is the gentry who really benefit the most.

    There is no other reason. The land is his. If the crop yields are higher, the rent will also increase. The final result is the huge benefits brought by the new crops. The extra 100 kilograms of grain harvested from one acre of land may only be 20 pounds.  Ten kilograms flowed into the mouths of the tenant farmers, and more than 80% of it was still piled in the barns of the gentry.

    ¡°In this world¡­after all, arms cannot twist a thigh.

    But whether you are an arm or a thigh, you are still made of flesh and blood. Now there is a dog-like thing, and he is holding a knife.

    What kind of person is Wang Shixun? He has read books and understands the truth.

    At this moment, his whole body was trembling, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips began to tremble.

    The dog-like thing who succeeded the vassal from the front used all kinds of commercial and financial means to drag the gentry into the water, and then used his rich experience to harvest all these gentry.

    And now, the harvested landhas now become a magical weapon in the hands of this bitch,Everyone is scared to death. When dealing with others, the most important thing is to regard peace as the most important thing. My husband must not make any more enemies.  "

    That¡¯s what women are like.

    ¡°Peace is the most precious thing¡­¡±

    Fang Jifan said with a smile on his face: "Of course, I love making friends with people the most, Huzi, Huzi"

    Fang Jifan finished dressing and called Huzi, who came to Fang Jifan with a rainbow of momentum.

    Fang Jifan kicked him: "You bitch, you are taller than this young master. I have rebelled against you."

    Huzi immediately said: "Young master Otherwise, I will ask my mother to make you a pair of thousand-layer soles, so that you can grow taller."

    Fang Jifan suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been insulted.

    Shaking his head, he sighed: "Go to meet the guests and call all your people. Oh, you still have a blunderbuss on your waist. Let me take a look."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? out of Huzi's waist, he directly took the short gun from Huzi's waist and held it in his hand. This short gun was heavy and particularly powerful when held in his hand.

    Now all I need are sunglasses.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pityone cigarette is missing.

    But if you think about it carefully, Fang Jifan still doesn't dare to think about tobacco. This thing harms people.

    Fang Jifan has a very upright outlook and is a man of conscience.
