Because Wen Chun is now the county magistrate of those two cities, and this matter is his responsibility, he should naturally be the first to speak.
And when he came back this time, he also wanted to tell the emperor his thoughts and obtain the emperor's consent.
"Back to the emperor, most of the people left behind in Xinyang City are very poor people. As the saying goes, helping the emergency does not help the poor.
The imperial court continued to use money and material relief, but it could not solve the root cause of the people's poverty.
The reason why the people of the original Tangling were uneasy was because they were living uneasy lives at the moment.
The official believed that we should find a way to let the people live and work in peace and contentment and escape poverty, so that the hearts of the people who originally belonged to the Dongling Kingdom would settle down.
And for those poor people, the greatest help is simply having a roof to cover their head and land to grow food!
The official thinks that the land in Xinyang City has not been sold yet. It would be better not to put it all up for auction, but to distribute it directly to the people who settled in Xinyang City for farming, and the court would collect taxes on a per capita basis. "
The emperor stroked his beard: "The fields in Nalan Kingdom are all sold by the imperial court. In this way, the imperial court will receive a large sum of money.
If it were all distributed directly to the people, the court would be short of a lot of money. "
The emperor also knows that if it is distributed directly to the people, people's hearts will be at peace. The land is the root of the people! With land, they can return to their roots after falling leaves.
Princess Hui'an proposed the idea of allocating fields to households. He thought it was a good idea, but many ministers disagreed.
The emperor decided to select a county in the newly acquired city to implement it partially. The emperor also decided that the treasury was too empty!
"Your Majesty, this matter of allocating fields to households has been tried out in Jianghuai Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture, and in the cities won back! The official contacted the local officials there, and the results were good. Among the rioters , there are no people in those counties. Therefore, the official believes that this time Xinyang City should fully implement the distribution of fields to each household. After the distribution, all the remaining fields will be classified as imperial fields, and long-term workers will be invited to cultivate them.
In this way, although the court lost a sum of money, in the long run, it saved a lot of money.
The first people are self-reliant and can reduce the money for relief!
With more land in the Second Emperor, the food rations of the soldiers on the southeastern border will be guaranteed! "
The emperor looked at Wen Nuan: "Princess Hui'an, do you think it is feasible to implement all land distribution and household distribution now?"
Wen Nuan smiled: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? My daughter has proposed it before."
The emperor thought of what Princess Hui'an said before.
She said that food is very important and valuable at a time when demand exceeds supply. But grain yields of thousands of kilograms per mu have already appeared! The fields in Nalan Kingdom are enough to feed the entire people of Nalan Kingdom, and there is even enough food left! If we store more food this year, food will be cheaper!
Landowners will get less and less wealth from their fields!
If technical colleges are built, those who run small workshops and do small businesses will become richer and richer.
The future of Nalan Kingdom will definitely be more prosperous.
When food is no longer profitable, those landowners will start thinking about switching to business.
After all, the income of landlords is far less than that of wealthy businessmen!
Although most of the landowners were originally wealthy businessmen.
The grain is worthless, so it is better to sell it and use some cash to do business.
The national treasury was already full at that time, and then policies and laws were promulgated, money was used to expropriate land, and then it was distributed to farmers and people for cultivation.
This is a virtuous circle!
Of course, all this is just imagination, what is the reality, what is the future!
No one knows, but the emperor feels that it is time to start implementing land reform!
It’s done, he started it.
From then on, he will be an emperor whose name will last forever!
If you fail, you will be tricked, and it will be the Seventeenth Emperor's brother who will clean up the mess.
He should take care of her wife's ideas!
So the emperor made the final decision: "Okay! Then the entire Xinyang City should implement household distribution of farmland! Wen Aiqing thinks how to implement it specifically."
Wen Chun cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, I think that in addition to allocating fields to the people, we also allocate homesteads, dry land, woods, hills, and fish ponds to the people according to the population, and all these are allocated to the villages, so that the villagers of a village can manage them uniformly. , the imperial court does not intend to build some technical colleges..."
Wen Chun spoke out his thoughts carefully.
Nuan Nuan occasionally added that this was her elder brother's opportunity.
If Xinyang City is completed under the hands of the eldest brother, it will be a huge political achievement.
In the future, when he is transferred back to Beijing, a fourth-grade official will be indispensable.
The emperor stroked his beard and listened carefully.
Wen Chun's plan is to send people from the government to teach the people there some skills on a village-by-village basis. For example, if there is a fish pond, fish will be raised; if there is a hill, fruit trees will be planted; sweet potato.
Then some wealthy businessmen were invited to build various workshops there and purchase the crops produced by the people.
The imperial court also provided money to build some workshops in those places to increase the revenue of the state treasury and at the same time provide some work for the people.
As long as the people have work to do and are busy, they will not be poor enough to wait for help!
The emperor nodded after listening: "Wen Aiqing will write a detailed memorial and I will discuss it with other ministers."
This suggestion is a good one, but of course these things cannot be accomplished in a day or two!
It is also related to the future allocation of money from the treasury.
At this time, Eunuch Li came in, stood outside the door, and winked at the emperor.
This was the secret code agreed upon by the two. After the dishes were ready, Eunuch Li came in to remind the emperor.
The emperor saw Eunuch Li blinking and couldn't help but straighten his body.
Then he looked at the sundial: "Time flies so fast! This afternoon has just passed! All the civil and military officials have entered the palace, right?"
Eunuch Li immediately said: "Back to the emperor, someone has already entered the palace!"
The emperor waved his hand after hearing this: "In that case, let's end the discussion today! Wen Aiqing, you can write a memorial to me later! Okay, the palace banquet is about to begin, so please step aside!"
Today, Princess Hui'an personally went to the imperial kitchen to give instructions to the imperial chefs who only knew how to cook face-saving dishes, how to cook.
When giving instructions, he also demonstrated it himself!
Princess Hui'an had personally demonstrated the dishes. He had asked Xiao Lizi to go to the imperial kitchen and give orders to keep them and send a portion of each to Zichen Palace before the palace banquet.
He had to have a full meal at Zichen Palace before attending the palace banquet!
After hearing this, several people stood up and left.
Nalan Jinnian did not move.
The emperor looked at him: "Seventeenth Emperor brother, why don't you leave? I'm going to Zichen Palace to change clothes!"
Nalan Jinnian: "Brother Huang, please come together! Brother Huang will not be too lonely walking to Tianyuan Hall alone!"
When the emperor heard this, he almost slammed a tea bowl on his head!
This brat!
"No need! The Queen Mother said she hasn't seen you for a long time! You and Princess Hui'an should go and pay your respects to the Queen Mother!"
