Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Now that I have said it, let me tell you the next plan. Li Ke continued: "Not only that, in addition to the fact that these areas can directly take out part of the shares in the form of state-owned commercial banks, the other is that the cultivated land in these places can be expanded on a large scale. Sold."

"Each aristocratic family is allowed to invest in purchasing land without any upper limit. The cultivated land in this area, in the Tacheng area alone, is approximately more than 2000 million acres. According to Datang's land allocation policy, it can accommodate 20 households."

"If these two areas are added together, they can accommodate at least 50 households." Li Ke said with a smile.

During this period of the Tang Dynasty, to be honest, both the Tacheng area and the Yili River Valley were actually much richer in water and grass than those in later generations, and the current climate and environment were stronger than those in later generations.

Although most of these lands are undeveloped land, such as the Yili River Valley, there is almost no arable land, and they are all large tracts of grassland. It takes a lot of time to develop them.

But these are not important. Anyway, if you want to buy land, you don't need the court investment. The court only provides policy and material support. In other aspects, if these wealthy families want to buy it, let them invest on their own.

As for whether they can arrange for people to go there after they bought a large amount of land, of course they can.There are not a lot of machinery now, and they all rely on human and animal power. If they want to develop it, they must hire people.

And the price for them to hire people cannot be low. Li Ke will set several templates for them.

Look, isn’t this a win-win?A state-owned commercial bank was established to operate these two areas as a whole, and then the wealthy families invested a lot of money to start it up. After the state-owned commercial bank was established, the state-owned commercial bank sold the farmland in this area, and these wealthy families spent a sum of money to buy it back.

Then the state-owned commercial house made a wave of profits.

In this way, the output value of state-owned commercial banks can be said to have increased, and the future development has also been initially demonstrated. Not only has the value of the shares held by these powerful families increased, they also have very potential land in their hands, and they can still here Arrange a large number of people.

Everyone has a bright future and everyone wins!

"Here, allow them to buy land?" Fang Xuanling and the others were all stunned.

"Of course, oh, I forgot to tell you, my idea is to use these two places as pilots first, and then open up the land purchase within the entire Datang area, allowing these wealthy families to purchase large amounts of land."

"But the purchased land is not allowed to be abandoned or idle. The land in some special areas must be planted according to the requirements of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, they hire the people who plant it and provide them with a monthly salary similar to that of workers, or The salary is calculated based on part of the food and part of the monthly money." Li Ke said with a smile.

"To put it bluntly, if these people regard them as traditional tenants, the imperial court will formulate certain standard contracts for the employment of these tenants."

Li Ke's words made Fang Xuanling and the others slightly stunned for a moment, and then Wei Zheng hesitated and said: "If a customized contract is made, then no one will buy it, because after they buy it, what will they earn? "

"According to the current survey of our Ministry of Agriculture, it is a little difficult for a household to plant a hundred acres of fields. This is because most people have at least twenty or thirty acres of fields to grow alfalfa, or mulberry and other unnecessary crops. Crops taken care of.”

"And that's about half of the grain and other fields that really need care."

"Even so, almost one household needs to spend all their energy on planting."

"And based on the current income from grain prices, if they hire people to farm, the fees they pay may not make much money at all. Naturally, they will not be willing to buy land."

Wei Zheng obviously knows about this aspect. After all, as a judicial department, if you don't understand these things, how can you supervise some things that you don't understand?

"You are thinking about something wrong. There are men, women, and children in each household, but if they hire, they must hire strong laborers. In this case, based on the calculation of about five people in a household, the five people employed by these wealthy families will Everyone is a strong laborer, so planting a hundred acres is naturally not a problem."

"In addition, they can just plant high-value cash crops, such as the cotton products we mainly promote, and various spice crops suitable for local cultivation. These are crops with high added value. Naturally, you can earn it back.”

"Farming means finding ways to make profits from crops, rather than relying on deducting people's monthly money." Li Ke said calmly.

Wei Zheng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's the minister who didn't think carefully. But if this is the case, if the court implements compulsory measures in this regard, the number of supervisory officials it needs is not a small number."

"Oh, think about it from another angle. How can we use the court's mandatory order to formulate this measure? Can't we just use the laws of the market to let them make this decision on their own?" Li Ke said helplessly.

Seeing that the three of them still had some doubts, Li Ke said directly: "It's very simple. Aren't state-owned commercial banks established in these two areas to operate them? State-owned commercial banks have money, and since the state-owned commercial banks make their own decisions on operations, Can’t the state-owned commercial banks just set a price for hiring people first?”

"Then if they want to hire people, it must be impossible for the price to be lower than this. The price must be higher than this, because at the same price, I believe these people will naturally trust Datang's state-owned commercial banks more."

"For the imperial court, we did not limit their prices through administrative means, but we did limit their employment prices through market rules."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Wei Zheng and the others were completely speechless.

My Majesty, if we remember correctly, the money of this state-owned commercial bank, that is, the operating capital, seems to come from these wealthy families?

Good guy, they have provided operating funds, so you use other people's money to cheat others, right?

Isn't that too much.

But...it seems that they only hold part of the shares of the state-owned commercial bank and have no decision-making power, so...it seems to make sense?After all, it was all within the scope allowed by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

"This... seems to be possible." What else could Fang Xuanling and the others say, except that... Your Majesty is wise.

As expected of the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and as expected of His Majesty who likes win-win and multi-win situations, this really makes sense!

"Since you think it is possible, then just implement it in the court. These two places can be regarded as a pilot. You will know if it can be tested. Anyway, it is just two places and it will not affect the overall situation."
