Chapter 813: Either You Give Me A Solution, Or You Accept The Solution I Proposed [Please Subscribe,
After the chamberlain on the side wrote "Eastern Conquest of Japan and Annexation of Korea" on the big blackboard of "Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Medium and Long-term Development Plan", Prince Zhu Biao also took a step forward and said:
"In the next five years, the Ministry of Revenue needs to always pay attention to preventing and resolving the potato food crisis that may occur in advance."
Ru Taisu below came back to his senses from the imagination of the gold and silver mountains of Japan and the Tieshan coal mine of Goryeo. He looked up at Prince Zhu Biao with a puzzled expression and asked:
“Potato food crisis?!!”
Prince Zhu Biao nodded and said gently:
"That's right, it's the food crisis caused by the king."
Then Prince Zhu Biao recounted the food crisis caused by potatoes and the low grain prices that hurt farmers that Yan Changqing mentioned when he taught them "Dragon Slaying Technique" a few years ago.
Prior to this, the people of the world had not yet begun to plant potatoes on a large scale, so Prince Zhu Biao and others did not talk about the food crisis caused by large-scale potato planting and the low grain prices that hurt farmers.
But since last year, people all over the world have basically obtained potato seeds to a greater or lesser extent. Starting from this year, potatoes will be planted on a large scale.
Therefore, in order to prevent the food crisis caused by large-scale potato planting and the low grain value that hurt farmers, the court should start preparations in advance this year.
After listening to Prince Zhu Biao's story, Ru Taisu was dripping with cold sweat.
He had never thought that planting potatoes on a large scale would have such a serious impact before.
Trillions of pounds of potatoes!
Even if everyone in the Ming Dynasty ate five meals a day, it would still be far from enough to finish!
Even if you include pigs, cows and other livestock, it is impossible to eat so many potatoes!
What is even more frightening is the food crisis brought about by the proliferation of large-scale potato planting, involving thousands of people across the country and hurting farmers!
If a solution is not prepared in advance, the Ming Dynasty may be severely shaken.
At this moment, all officials who were quick-minded and thought about the food crisis caused by large-scale potato planting and the low grain prices that would harm farmers could not help but panic.
Looking at the panic-stricken civil and military officials, Zhu Biao comforted him in a warm voice:
"There is no need to panic. Now that you know the future, you can just take appropriate countermeasures in advance."
"First, starting from this year, the Ministry of Household Affairs will no longer continue to plant potatoes in the official fields owned by the imperial court, except for the disaster relief potatoes that are enough to supply the people of a province for half a year. Instead, they will plant other rice and wheat. Waiting for food.”
"Second, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development should set a reasonable purchase price for potatoes so that the people who grow potatoes cannot lose all their money. At least, the people who grow potatoes must be able to earn meager profits by selling excess potatoes."
"Then when potatoes are harvested in large quantities in the next two to three years, the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives in counties across the country will come forward to purchase unlimited amounts of excess potatoes from the people, so as to provide support for the people to plant potatoes on a large scale."
"Third, in the next two to three years, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will slightly increase the prices of other grains other than potatoes purchased by state-run supply and marketing cooperatives in counties across the country, so that people will know that they can get higher returns by growing other grains."
"This will guide the people from the side and reduce the amount of potatoes planted."
“Fourth, encourage the public to research methods that can further extend the storage time of potatoes or other beans.
"Anyone who develops a method that can extend the storage time of potatoes or other potato products to two years will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan!"
"If you can extend the storage time of potatoes or other potato products to three years, you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand dollars!"
"Fifth, after returning to the local areas, the prefects, prefectures, and counties can allow the people to plant potatoes this year, but next year when the people have more potatoes on hand to continue planting, they will have to advise the people to plant potatoes appropriately. "
"You can carefully explain to the people why cheap grain hurts farmers.
"But remember, this is advice, not orders."
"It doesn't matter even if the people still choose to continue planting potatoes in their fields after hearing the truth about low grain prices hurting farmers."
"The imperial court has already made preparations for them. As long as the people cultivate potatoes for three or five years in a row, it can only ensure their food and clothing, but cannot make them live a better life. They will naturally gradually reduce the number of potatoes planted. ”
After hearing Prince Zhu Biao's orderly instructions and arrangements, all the civil and military officials, including Ru Taisu, calmed down again.
After all, as Prince Zhu Biao said, now that you know the future, you can just take corresponding countermeasures in advance.
Moreover, the potato food crisis will not break out immediately now, but will happen two or three years later.
Relatively speaking, there is plenty of time to deal with the potato food crisis.
And regarding how to deal with the potato food crisis, Prince Zhu Biao just gave several basic solutions.
At first glance, there is generally no problem.
As for more detailed and specific solutions, we can just convene officials from the Ministry of Revenue and other officials to further discuss and improve them.
As long as the emperor, as the leader, or the prince and others do not panic, then naturally the officials below will not be too frightened.
Thinking of this, three thousand civil and military officials, including Ru Taisu, all bowed and responded:
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince""!"
At the same time, after hearing these words, all the wives and daughters of the capital's civil and military officials in the palace also secretly decided to go back and stop planting potatoes this year and switch to other grains, so that they might be able to get some small profits from them. profit.
The waiter on the side was also writing "Potato Food Crisis" on the big blackboard of "Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Medium and Long-term Development Plan" again.
Then, King Qin Zhu Xi also took a step forward and said in a deep voice:
"From today on, it is prohibited to give away or buy and sell land without permission!"
"In addition to allocating the land and acres of land for the people of the world to their own children, if they want to give or sell it to others, they can only give it to or sell it to the court!"
"Except for this, any other donation or sale of land between noble marquises, officials, gentry, landlords, and common people will be deemed as illegal gift or sale."
"Once discovered, half of the land and acres of both parties will be confiscated for the first time, four-quarters of the land and acres of both parties will be confiscated for the second time, and all the land and acres of both parties will be confiscated for the third time!"
"Afterwards, the Minister of Household Affairs will draw up a corresponding charter and submit it to the world, and then announce it to the world!"
As soon as these words came out, Ru Taisu frowned immediately, then took a step forward and admonished:
"Your Highness, King Qin, this policy is inappropriate."
"If the free gifting and buying and selling of land and acres of land to the people of the world are prohibited, then the land and acres of land in the hands of the people of the world will gradually be concentrated in the hands of the imperial court.
"At that time, people all over the world will slowly lose their acres of land, become unable to make a living, and then become refugees."
"Similarly, other people who originally had no land and had extra spare money and wanted to buy an acre as their own foundation will not be able to purchase more land because of this policy."
"Or people who own only a few acres of land will be restricted by this policy if they want to purchase an additional piece of land for their descendants to survive as the number of their descendants increases."
"At that time, people all over the world will inevitably complain. Please think twice!"
His Royal Highness's more than 3,000 civil and military officials, noble marquises, local magistrates, prefecture magistrates, county magistrates and other officials also spoke in unison:
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please think twice!!!"
If the policy of Qin King Zhu Xi is carried out [then they will no longer have the opportunity to purchase and increase the amount of land owned by their family.
You must know that for civil and military officials and noble marquises, if they want their families to prosper in the long term.
So in addition to maintaining their own official positions and titles, what is more important is to have a considerable amount of land and acres!
After all, in this land of China, acres of land represent food, represent wealth, and even represent everything!
Regardless of whether they are the emperor, princes, civil and military officials, noble marquises, or ordinary people, they all have a deep love for the land!
If there is anything in this land that is more credible than gold and silver, and is a "hard currency" that is harder than gold and silver, then there is and only acres of land.
And as a noble marquis and court official, if your family does not have thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land, how can you be called a wealthy family?
It can be said that the family behind every civil and military official and noble marquis, even if they don't say it openly, secretly will either actively or passively purchase and acquire more acres of land.
But now the policy of Qin King Zhu Ping is to cut off the possibility of them acquiring large amounts of land in the future.
How can this be accepted by the family behind the numerous civil and military officials and noble marquises?
For a time, almost 80% of the civil and military officials, noble marquises and nobles were raising their objections.
Standing on the imperial steps of the Dan Palace, King Qin Zhu Ping looked at the fiercely opposed civil and military officials and noble marquis below. His eyes became colder and colder, and his expression became more and more fierce. The Marquis' sense of oppression is getting stronger and stronger.
The voices of the civil and military officials and noble marquis below who expressed their objections also became smaller and smaller, until finally they fell silent involuntarily.
After the Fengtian Palace was completely quiet again, King Qin Zhu Fang just said domineeringly and proudly:
"Are you done?!!"
"That's it, then it's Gu's turn to speak!"
Immediately, King Zhu Ping of Qin deleted part of the story about the land annexation that led to the accelerated decline and destruction of the dynasty that Yan Changqing mentioned when he told "Dragon Slaying Technique", and then repeated it to a group of civil and military officials. The noble Marquis listens.
"Land annexation can be said to be the root cause of the decline and demise of all dynasties!"
“The more acres of land and acres owned by the royal family, civil and military officials, noble marquises, gentry, and landlords, the greater the number of people in the world who will lose their land and acres, and the greater the number of ordinary people who will eventually become refugees. !”
"By then, the number of people who cannot survive will also increase."
"When the number of homeless people who cannot survive increases to a certain level, they will choose to rebel in order to fight for a chance of survival!"
"In the end, at least it will cause turmoil in the world, but at worst, it will overturn the world and start over again!"
"So I might as well tell you frankly that the purpose of implementing this policy is to restrain you and the world's wealthy gentry and landlords from annexing the land of the common people!"
"If you have different objections to the implementation of this policy, then you can give me a solution that can prevent the common people from gradually losing their place due to land annexation, then becoming refugees, and finally choosing to rebel in order to fight for a chance of survival!"
As long as you can give me such a solution, I will withdraw this policy immediately!"
"If not, then whoever opposes this policy intends to steal the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and shake the Ming Dynasty. His crime should be punished!"
When it came to the last word "to be punished", Qin King Zhu Ping did not hide his murderous intention!
All the civil and military officials, noble marquises, local magistrates, prefecture magistrates, and county magistrates below fell silent.
Is it true that no one has known since ancient times that land annexation leads to the decline and demise of a dynasty?!!
Of course not, past history books have told this truth time and time again.
As long as you read history books carefully, you will naturally be able to understand this truth clearly.
However, it is one thing to know this truth, and it is another thing to put it in plain sight.
After all, if the matter of land annexation is not made explicit, then everyone can continue to tacitly annex land.
As for whether their annexation of land will lead to the accelerated decline and destruction of the dynasty, that has nothing to do with them.
Everyone is annexing land, so they can’t just annex it. How unsocial!
Anyway, there are already many people annexing land, and there won’t be even one more person.
And even if they don't annex the land, can they say that they can delay the decline and demise of the dynasty?!!
Of course it’s impossible!
In this case, it doesn't matter if there is one less person who does not want to annex the land.
And even if the dynasty declines and perishes, what does it have to do with them? The dynasty is not theirs, but the land and acres in the family are theirs.
When the day comes that the dynasty really declines and perishes, the worst possible outcome is that the descendants of the family will switch to the new dynasty.
Therefore, under such circumstances, almost every powerful and wealthy person will carry out land annexation on a large scale.
But now the King of Qin Zhu Xi is showing off his cards. No more pretending, I just want to suppress your land annexation, and even ban your land annexation.
If you object to me restraining and prohibiting land annexation, then you can give me a solution that can solve the negative consequences of land annexation.
If you can't, then you are shaking the country of Ming Dynasty and seeking death!
Then don't blame me for picking up the butcher's knife and slashing at you!
This was also the decision made by Zhu Yuanzhang (Qian Zhaozhao) and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, father and son, after a small meeting.
That is to throw the problems caused by land annexation to a group of civil and military officials and noble marquises. If they can think of a way to solve the negative consequences of land annexation, then
They do not inhibit land annexation.
But on the other hand, if a group of civil and military officials and noble marquises cannot think of solving the negative consequences of land annexation, then it will be natural for them to implement the policy of suppressing and prohibiting land annexation.
It makes sense.
After all, this is all for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the good of the people!
And as officials of the Ming Dynasty, all the civil and military officials and noble marquises don’t want the stability of the country and the people of the Ming Dynasty, right?!!
If this is the case, then such Ming officials should die.
And can a group of civil and military officials and noble marquises come up with a solution to the negative consequences of land annexation?!!
This is naturally impossible!
After all, the problem of land annexation can be said to have dominated the decline of rice in the past two thousand years of dynasty.
If the civil and military officials and noble marquises of the Ming Dynasty could think of a way to solve the negative consequences of land annexation, then there must have been wise men in the past thousands of years who could.
Enough to think of the same solution.
Then Yan Changqing, the Saint, must also be able to think of relevant solutions.
However, it is a pity that in the past thousands of years, no wise man could really think of a solution to the negative consequences of land annexation.
Even the Saint Yan Changqing can only think of ways to mitigate the consequences of land annexation in disguised form.
And since a group of civil and military officials and noble marquises cannot think of a way to solve the negative consequences of land annexation, they will naturally have to accept the suppression and ban proposed by them.
Correct land-related policies and plans.
