Chapter 363 No way?
But someone has already found their own, hoping to buy farmland in Shanxi. Once the court says it will be taken over, not only those who want to buy farmland will have opinions about Zhang Hao. Even those landlords will worry about whether the court will take over their farmland, which involves too many people's interests.
Xu Jie sighed in his heart, his son-in-law is too brave. He just finished touching the vassal kings and now he is staring at the landlords' farmland. There are more people offending this way. Many people will wonder whether their farmland will be collected in the future.
Soon, Chen Hong finished reading. After reading, Jiajing sat there and looked at the ministers below.
"But what are your opinions? Everyone talks about it." Jiajing sat there and looked at the ministers and asked.
"Your Majesty, this matter may not work!" Xu Jie said first. He knew that if he didn't speak, the ministers wouldn't speak either. Everyone was pretending to be fools. Anyway, the one who offended those landlords at that time would be Zhang Hao, the emperor, not them.
"Why can't it?" Jiajing asked Xu Jie when he heard this.
"When I go back to the emperor, except for the imperial village, there is no such thing as the court that controls those lands. In history, if these lands are taken back into the court, not to mention whether they can be done well, just those who have land will worry about whether their land will be taken back into the court in the future. People will be unstable at that time. Although it seems that they can stabilize the hearts of the people now, such a little land will offend a large number of landlords. The emperor, this matter needs to be thought twice!" Xu Jie immediately stood up and said to Jiajing.
When Jiajing heard this, he nodded, and then looked at the other ministers.
"There is no problem in operation, and it can be done. After all, the operation method is written on the memorial, which is feasible, but as Xu Ge Lao said, once it is really implemented, those who have land should worry about whether their own land will be taken away one day.
Although the land is now taken back because they committed crimes, they will think that once the court wants to take it back, isn’t there still a lot? So, be cautious about this matter!” Yan Song also sat there and said to Jiajing.
"Your Majesty, this matter really needs to be cautious. Once it causes unstable people, it will be troublesome. Not only those landlords, but also those officials and merchants, their families hold a large amount of land, and they are also worried that the court will cause trouble for them at that time!" Lu Ben also bowed his hands and said immediately. All the three cabinet masters said that it was not possible. The ministers below stopped talking, just listened.
"Zhang Hao, do you have any explanation?" Jiajing immediately looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
"Yes, everyone, this is nothing? You can't let the court sell the land, right? This sale is a lot of money, and the land will be concentrated in the hands of rich people. The people still have no farmland. Once the disaster is affected and the people are not rescued, they will start to rebel.
Everyone actually knows that from the beginning of concentration of land, each dynasty begins to fall into crisis. Once the concentration reaches a certain level, the court will begin to collapse. We do this now, just hope that the Ming Dynasty will exist for a longer time.
Besides, as long as they do not make mistakes, it will be impossible for those landlords to take back their land. At that time, the court will also issue official documents. That is to say, except for the searched land, the court will not take over the landlords' land. This can reassure them!" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at the three of them and asked.
"Mr. Lu An, this matter is not that simple. Of course, we all know the reasons you said, but it cannot be moved easily when it involves the interests of so many people. Once it moves, it may be in a greater crisis!" Lu Ben said to Zhang Hao immediately.
"If we do nothing, we will just watch the Ming Dynasty perish?" Zhang Hao asked staring at them.
"I dare not talk nonsense. My Ming Dynasty is still good now!" Yan Song immediately bowed his hand and reminded Zhang Hao not to talk nonsense. Jiajing didn't care what Zhang Hao said about the demise of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhang Rong and his son were not there last year, the Ming Dynasty would have been demise.
And now Jiajing is also very clear that the Ming Dynasty has reached the verge of destruction. If there is no change, it will be a matter of time. Maybe there is nothing to do with his own hands, but his own son and his grandson.
Although I don’t have a grandson yet, I will have it sooner or later, so Jiajing is considering this issue now. Taking advantage of the fact that he can still control the army, he needs to make changes, even if it lasts the Ming Dynasty for decades.
"This is not a nonsense. I know very well in my heart, and you know very well in my heart. I will ask you, except for the landlords, how much land is ordinary people occupy?" Jiajing sat there and looked at them and asked. They heard it and did not speak.
"Among you, any one of you, is there a few hundred acres of land? The people have no land. Once they encounter natural disasters, the people have nothing. Why don't they rebel? So, I think this matter is worth doing, even if it's good to let some people have land to plant!" Jiajing sat there, looking at the ministers and said.
"Emperor, once it continues to be implemented, it may cause panic in the world!" Lu Ben said to Jiajing.
"Then let them relieve their panic and explain it clearly to the people!" Jiajing sat there and stared at Lu Ben and said.
"But, how to lift it off? They just thought that the emperor would give their land to the people!" Lu Ben continued.
"It is not given to the people. Those lands are in court. The court is distributed to those who are planted by the people. Those lands will be in court forever in the future!" Zhang Hao immediately reminded Lu Ben and said.
"Yes, even so, the people are still planting. Originally, if the people farmed the land of the landlords, they could leave about 40% of the grain, and the remaining 60% would be returned to the landlords and the court. But now, the people can account for 70% of the grain. I'm afraid those who have land will not be happy! Who will farm for them then?" Lu Ben said to Zhang Hao again.
"It's not like this all over the country, it's just like this the land that was searched!" Zhang Hao looked at him and asked.
