Chapter 607 Peaceful Land Reform
Chapter 605: Peaceful Land Reform
In the field of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen were at the bottom. Although aristocratic families generally despised businessmen, it did not mean that they would not do business.
Except for families whose Confucian classics have been handed down for generations, such as the Xun family and the Kong family, most large families have their own shops and are well aware of the profits that business can bring.
Land has brought huge profits to the family, and the family is certainly unwilling to give it up. But when the benefits from business are far greater than the land, will the family still cling to the land and abandon business?
Xun Yu and other ministers’ eyes were full of brilliance. They knew very well how profitable the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce was, so there must be few Nanyang families who would not be tempted, right?
Serial intimidation, temptation of heavy profits, the master is so clever! Xun Yu and other civil servants who also came from aristocratic families couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
What is serial intimidation?
Confiscated land and property, and only part of the property will be returned after the Nanyang family returns;
In case of joint pressure from the Maison, half of the property will be returned to the Maison;
After jointly filing a lawsuit, all the property was returned to the family, and additional funds were used to redeem the land.
What Qin Hao has done during this period of time, although on the surface it may seem like a storm, he is actually sitting firmly on the platform, and unknowingly, his goal has been achieved.
In this step-by-step process, although the Nanyang family was very dissatisfied, they also understood the fact that the land would never come back.
Without the people fighting to the death to defend the land, without the cold eyes of the Guandong family, without Qin Hao refusing to let go and even spending his own money to redeem the land, it would have been impossible and absolutely impossible for the family to give up the land due to their profit-seeking nature.
The determination of the people of Nanyang shocked all the Nanyang families, and they also understood why Qin Hao did not return the land.
Because even if Qin Hao goes, he still won't come back, unless he wants to deliberately force the people to rebel, and if the trouble really gets out of hand, the family will suffer in the end.
So, instead of still hoping for land that will never come back, it is better to take the opportunity to make up for the losses as much as possible.
Qin Hao understood the psychology of the aristocratic family very thoroughly, so after the aristocratic family became wary of the fight with the common people, he chose to acquire land and form a chamber of commerce as inducements.
Land only accounts for a part of a family's property. A family would still be wealthy without land, but it is the lifeblood of the people.
It does no good to anyone if the people are forced into a hurry. The Yellow Turban is the best example.
Coercion and inducement were Qin Hao’s method. Without this difficult and tortuous process, Nanyang would never have been able to peacefully complete the land reform.
If all the Nanyang families have to be conquered with an iron-blood policy, how can Qin Hao conquer the more difficult Guandong and Kansai families?
Their behavior is much more domineering than that of the Nanyang Family.
It would be best if the land reform could be completed without killing people, and this hard-won victory was the result of the joint efforts of Qin Hao and the people of Nanyang.
“In addition to coercion and inducement, the lord also took into account the people’s reactions and made full use of the people to put pressure on the family...”
At this thought, Xun Yu felt even more grateful to recognize Qin Hao as his master.
Maybe Qin Hao is not the best born among the princes, but he has the greatest potential. Following him will have unlimited possibilities.
“My lord has really grown up a lot, but unfortunately there are still some flaws.”
Xun Yu smiled happily, then stood up again and said:
“My lord, with Nanyang’s current finances, I’m afraid I don’t have the spare capacity to acquire that much land.”
Seeing Xun Yu's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Qin Hao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn it, I forgot about the financial issues. “How big is the gap?” Qin Hao asked quickly.
“My lord, I just did a mental calculation and found that the cost of acquiring the family’s land should be enough to pay the military salary of 200,000 soldiers for one year.”
Qin Hao couldn't help but take a breath, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "You actually want so much money?"
It takes two hundred thousand military-year military pay to buy all the private land of the Nanyang family. It can be seen that the land of the Nanyang family has at least nearly one million acres. The land annexation is so serious!
"Lord, my current financial situation in Nanyang is only enough to pay the military salary of my entire army of 25,000 soldiers for half a year. It is still far from enough to pay this amount." Xun Yu said helplessly.
“Why is there such a big difference?”
Qin Hao felt that he shouldn't be so poor, but looking at the expressionless Xun Yu, he also laughed awkwardly, because Nanyang Finance was like this because of him.
After seizing Xiang Yu's money and food in Wancheng, Nanyang's finances should have been very prosperous, but Qin Hao's steps were too big.
In addition to rescuing hundreds of thousands of refugees in Yuzhou, Qin Hao has also intervened in all walks of life in Nanyang. Recently, Qin Hao has built several new factories, established the Flying Tiger Army, a medical camp, and a factory...
This money is being spent as fast as water. No matter how much money and grain is seized, I can't afford to spend it like this.
Of course, Qin Hao just wants to lay a good foundation for Nanyang. After all, the greater his investment now, the greater the returns he will receive in the future.
Seeing that the other ministers also had expressions of 'it's all your fault', Qin Hao's face became even more embarrassed. He smiled dryly and said: "In that case, let's pay the IOU first. When we have money, we can Just give it back to them slowly.”
The profit from acquiring the land is only a small part, and the income from traveling with the Nanyang caravan is the big part, so Qin Hao is not afraid that the family will not agree to issue the IOU. After all, the family still has this knowledge.
Seeing this, Liu Ji stood up with a serious face and said:
“My lord, Nanyang’s finances are already unable to make ends meet. If we owe this huge debt, most of our financial resources in Nanyang in the next few years will be used to pay off debts, let alone expand the army.”
"Yes, my lord occupies the precious land of Nanyang. If there is not enough military power to act as a deterrent, there is no guarantee that other princes will not have any ideas." Wang Meng agreed.
The two men's rhetoric was also very sharp. After all, the princes everywhere are trying their best to expand their armies. Qin Hao's good neighbor Yuan Shu of Runan, with the Yuan family's heavy investment of resources, now has nearly 100,000 troops under his command. This alone is not enough. With an army of 30,000, it is already difficult to frighten the pretenders.
After Qin Hao thought for a moment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, two military advisors, I already have a solution to the financial problem."
After saying that, Qin Hao shouted: "Come up!"
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Shen Wansan slowly walked into the hall with three servants. The three items on the trays in the hands of the three servants were books, soap and glasses.
Shen Wansan bowed and said respectfully: "Young Master, I have brought you all the books, soap and glass."
Qin Hao nodded, then pointed at the items below and said with a smile: "Please take a look?"
The ministers had been lifted up. After hearing Qin Hao's words, they all swarmed up and watched, and then only listened to someone constantly exclaiming.
