Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 324 What I lack the most is money!
Once the "Everyone is divided into an acre" is implemented, the landlord class will be most affected.
The reason why big landowners can become special entities is that they can continuously annex farmers' land.
According to the previous land system of the Zhou Dynasty, they did not need to pay additional taxes after annexing land. This made the trend of annexation prevalent. Landlords became bigger and bigger, farmers became more and more miserable, and there was even a situation where the tail was too big to lose.
Just like Xiang County, the five major families and many large and small landowners joined forces to keep warm, and at one time they were able to compete with the imperial court.
If the law of "dividing a child into an acre" could be implemented throughout the Zhou Dynasty, the national treasury would soon be filled, people would be willing to have children and develop wasteland, and the conflicts between farmers and landlords would also be alleviated.
The only ones hurt are the big landowners.
"Why, are you adults afraid?!"
Gu Jiang saw fear in the eyes of some officials, but he was the first to stand up and yell!
"You have to know that the five major families were all uprooted by the Crown Prince, not to mention the other landowners!"
"As long as the prince is determined, we will continue to implement it firmly even if we go through mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Gu Jiang changed from his normal attitude and had a clear attitude.
As the governor of Xiang County, it's not that he doesn't want to make some achievements, it's just that he can't do anything about it.
Zhou Zheng is now using his powerful methods to come up with this astonishing piece of work called "Spreading the Daughter into the Household". As long as everyone is united, it is not impossible to implement it.
Once implemented, this will definitely be a major event that benefits future generations.
Not to mention getting promoted to a higher position in the future, there is no way he, Gu Jiang, would not do this just to benefit the people!
"Master Gu said yes!"
"I will obey the Crown Prince's arrangements to the death!"
The other officials looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and agreed.
They all know that what is going to happen next is not simple, and may even cause countless landowners in Xiang County to riot.
But so what? !
If this day is going to come sooner or later, so what if it comes earlier?
Xiangjun or Xiangjun of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what kind of waves can these landowners make? !
"In addition to "A Little Brother Entering an Acre", I have prepared something else for you."
Zhou Zheng coughed and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Then he took out a piece of paper that had been prepared in advance and circulated it to everyone.
Gu Jiang and others were a little confused and surprised. "Standing in the House" was already the limit of what they could know. What else could be released on the same day as "Standing in the House"! ?
However, they have already preconceived the idea that this thing will not be simple either.
"Young Seedling Law"!
These three characters were written clearly on the front of the paper.
When Gu Jiang and others gathered around, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously not understanding.
But after reading it carefully, they felt frightened and shocked again.
Because this "Young Crops Law" is not a land system, nor a work tax system, but a loan system!
The so-called loan system means that people can go to the local government to borrow cash or grain to subsidize farming every spring and autumn.
As long as a guarantor can be provided, or relevant land and assets can be used as certificates, it will be fine.
Hiss, hiss! ! !
The content of "The Law of Young Crops" is relatively simple, at least it is much easier to understand than "The Law of Young Crops".
But the easier it is to understand, the content inside is even unbelievably simple.
But Gu Jiang and others became even more panicked and shocked inside!
They naturally knew the importance of the "Green Crops Law". Whether it was in Xiang County or even looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, private lending was always a big problem.
However, in the past, lending was not done by the government, but by the big landowners secretly.
They lent it to the people at high interest rates, and finally annexed their land when the people were unable to repay.
What's more, they directly tie the people up and make them slaves for life!
This method made the people in some places no longer the people of the Zhou Dynasty, but the people of the landlords.
It is a pity that the court is faced with such a situation, knowing it is so, but there is nothing they can do.
What if Zhou Zheng starts lending money himself? !
"Don't worry, the government's interest rate is very low, only one-tenth of that of landlords."
Zhou Zheng obviously saw the expressions on everyone's faces, and then told a breaking news!
Two out of ten! ?
In this way, who among the people in the world would borrow money from big landlords! ?
Wouldn’t everyone find a loan from the imperial court? !
As long as you are not a fool, you will make the right choice between both parties.
"But...Prince, we may not have so much money."
Gu Jiang looked moved. Zhou Zheng's actions today can be said to be truly serving the people and benefiting them.
It's just that the court had thought about this loan before, but there was no way to implement it.
The fundamental reason is not enough money!
Once an opening is opened, I don’t know how many people will borrow money from the government.
Such a huge number, not to mention the current financial constraints of Xiang County, even the imperial court cannot bear it.
The most important thing is that there are always some debts that cannot be recovered.
The difficulties can be imagined with just your toes.
"You don't have to worry about money."
But Zhou Zheng didn't panic at all.
Not only Zhou Zheng, but also Zhou Ping, Gong Tan and others all know that money is just a number to Zhou Zheng now!
The wealth accumulated by the five major families for hundreds of years was all looted by Zhou Zheng!
So, he can hold on!
Because what Zhou Zheng needs most now is money!
"Now the Green Seed Law is made public to the public. I want them to spread throughout Xiang County within three days!"
"At the same time, spread the word "Shatting the Ding into the Acre" to Xiang County."
These two policies must be understood by everyone in Xiang County!
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and gave a moment that made everyone's scalp numb!
Three days!
"Prince, isn't this a little hasty!?"
"I'm afraid the landowners in Xiang County won't be able to bear it."
Even with some hesitation, an official spoke despite the pressure.
He knew that the "Dividing a Small into an Acre" and the "Green Crops Law" were excellent things, and the sooner they were implemented, the better.
But he also knew that there were more than a few hundred landlords in Xiang County? !
Once these landowners unite, they will be unable to resist.
Even if the imperial court had the power, it would not dare to be so hasty!
"Rush!?"
"Is it possible that you still want them to imitate the five major families and join forces?"
"Giving them time was our biggest mistake."
Zhou Zheng shook his head. He knew that there were still some hidden forces in Xiang County.
We also know that the combined power of the Xiangjun landowners is definitely greater than the last time the five major families joined forces.
But so what? !
When Zhou Zheng uprooted the five major families, it meant that he and the landowners of Xiang County were in conflict.
In this case, why not fight again! ?
"Zhou Qiao, I would like to see how long you can hide the power you have buried in Xiang County!"
Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, and he whispered slightly, with a slight cold light surging.
There can only be one power in Xiang County, and that is Zhou Zheng's power!
As for any other forces, Zhou Zheng must eradicate them completely!
