Can you live forever

Chapter 377

"So I am different from Zhang Zhixiang, what I have to do is fairer than him."

"Regardless of whether the past social system was fair or not, as long as it has not collapsed, there is reason for it, and no matter what the system is, karma exists."

"It's nothing more than less evil rewards for doing evil, and less good rewards for doing good."

"Those who take advantage of the fate of humanity, regardless of good or evil, will be richer."

"It's all about these principles."

"If it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is really pitiful, but in the world of mortals, not only good and evil, right and wrong, but also relatives and estrangements. If you cultivate the way of heaven, you must also cultivate the way of humanity. You gain righteousness, but you lose wealth. Pecks are definite numbers."

"Since the evolution, some people are poor and some are rich, it's nothing but cause and effect."

"He insists like a person who believes in reincarnation and pays attention to morality. When measuring wealth, he separates morality and reincarnation from cause and effect. Does he really understand?"

"He understands, but he's deliberately overcorrecting."

"This is an overcorrection he made in order to reverse the general trend of humanity and realize the unity of man and nature."

"In a longer time scale, it may be fair, but at the current stage, it is unfair. If we want to defeat Zhang Zhixiang, we must be fairer than him, at least at this stage."

"So, the cause and effect of the past, I don't move."

"I want to divide the land, but it's not just for nothing. Dou Mien, Sheng Michou, and the division of land must be absolutely fair. Otherwise, if they can't take care of them, they will hate you, even more than the landlord who exploited them in the past. They hate it even more."

"So, I divide the land in the form of redemption."

"Besides, I don't care about small landlords, because most of those people's family business is saved by generations of hard work and frugality. They haven't done anything outrageous, so why should they divide their family business?"

"Zhang Zhixiang argued with Juzi about Qin law."

"In the pre-Qin period, a family with a hundred acres was a well-off family. In my Ming Dynasty, I became a landlord. This is a change of the times and the development of productive forces, but is it not an achievement?"

"There is a saying in "The Book of Songs and the Great Elegance": The people are tired, but they can be well-off. Benefit this China and benefit the world."

"So, a hundred mu is the boundary, that's fine."

"Wish for a well-off lottery."

"If it exceeds [-] mu, it must be distributed. In the early stage, we will use the form of persuasion. After the second batch of land division is completed, it will be enforced. If it exceeds [-] mu, but it is less than [-] mu, this part of the land is a redemption. Sell ​​it to the poor at half the market price."

"This division of land is mainly an opportunity for families with less than [-] mu of land to purchase."

"The fifteen acres are divided into three levels, namely the lower poor, the middle poor, and the upper poor."

"They have different levels of first refusal."

"If the money is not enough, Jiangnan Bank will provide interest-free loans. This is why I let you set up a bank. Although this part of the loan has no interest at all, you can get users, a large number of users."

"And debt, again, is an asset."

"Although you have lent out real money, what the farmers mortgaged to the bank is the land, which is different from the market price of one-third and one-half when the land is divided. The price of those fields will not change because of the land division. down, it will go up.”

"With those loan documents, you can absorb funds from the market."

"After all this, the entire Jiangnan's farmland has been equalized. You only invested 5000 to [-] million taels, but the bank's assets are enough to expand to billions of taels!"

"Where did the money come from?"

"After the second batch of land equalization, the full-scale land equalization began. Those who suffered losses came from there. Of course, they didn't lose so much. It was more of a concentration of social funds."

"Like the first batch led by the Xu family, and the second batch of participants, basically all of them have invested in the bank."

"When the bank gets rich, you all make money. Those who lost money on the land have already doubled the money. From a hundred acres to a thousand acres, those fields that are redeemed can get half of the market price. Those that exceed a thousand acres will be paid at the market price. One-third of the redemption."

"Those who are sensible will probably come to us to find a way out and subsidies."

"Those who are ignorant, those who resist Juntian, or those who oppose us, can only be killed by thunder, and let them understand that thunder, rain and dew are all due to your grace."

"Operate like this."

"Everyone is happy. Those who take the lead get the bank's profits. I will find industrial openings for the obedient landlords. The small landlords are safe and sound. The poor peasants take on debts without interest and get the land."

"Even if the quality of the allocated land is not good, how can the price of dry land be compared with that of paddy land? How can the price of good farmland be compared with barren land?"

"The goods obtained are poor, and the loan is naturally less, which is fair."

"It doesn't mean that there is so much land in a village or a county. The good and the bad are mixed. How much you divide and how much I divide. People have different names in their hearts. They always feel unfair, so that's boring."

"So and so."

"Isn't it safe to go up and down?"

"I did better than Zhang Zhixiang."

Xu Jie spoke and acted calmly, giving people a feeling of wisdom in his hands. In Xu Dong's view, since he got the Buddha bone scepter, Xu Jie has become more and more unfathomable.

When he first sold his family business, Xu Dong was still a little reluctant.

But with the development of subdivision and the establishment of Jiangnan Bank, the future situation can already be seen. Xu Dong's admiration for Xu Jie is now from the bottom of his heart.

He said with emotion: "The farmers got the fields, but many of them have no tools, no seeds, let alone cattle."

"These all require borrowing."

"Jiangnan Bank only needs to lend formally, which is a huge profit, and those farmers have to be grateful, but in fact, we have easily obtained more profits than before."

"This finance and business really turn decay into magic."

Xu Jie said with a smile: "It's not just this, I asked those poor peasants to carry loans. Although there is no interest, in order to pay off the loans as soon as possible, they must get up early and work hard, save food and money, and sell their agricultural products as much as possible. To make sure the debt is settled and the land truly belongs to them.”

"In this process, what we get is a large amount of agricultural surplus."

"Not to mention the compression of prices after abundant supply, just a large amount of agricultural surplus circulating in the market, the demand for money in the entire market will rise again."

"The market can absorb more money, and the so-called money ... is just paper."

Xu Dong was stunned for a moment. He understood how much wealth this piece was, but it was wrong. He hurriedly said, "Our Jiangnan Bank cannot issue currency. Only the Royal Bank of Jiajing can issue currency."

"Aren't you printing money for Jiajing by doing this?"

Xu Jie said with a smile: "Just let him issue. We can issue as many bonds as they issue."

"In the end, it will inevitably lead to the water they let go into our pool."

"The only thing Jiajing can earn is the interest on the debt."

"A large amount of agricultural surplus cannot be digested by people eating horse chews, or in other words, it cannot be digested under the current concept and way of life."

"From ancient times to the present, frugality has been practiced for thousands of years, and it cannot be changed at once."

"If you let a landlord's family eat white noodles every meal, he will feel it is a luxury, let alone big fish and meat every meal?"

"Food cannot be digested, and neither can agricultural by-products."

"If you can't digest it, you won't spend money to buy it. So where will these materials eventually gather? That's right, only industry needs so much agricultural surplus."

"Because the industry needs a large enough non-agricultural population, their food, clothing, housing and transportation all require external commodity input."

"Not only the industrial population, but also the large amount of raw materials needed for industrial development, mining, transportation, road construction, etc., all need money and agricultural surplus."

"And these agricultural surpluses did not come out of thin air."

"If you want the common people to offer sacrifices to you hungry, they will definitely not be happy. The tenant farmers used to farm, but there was no way for them to survive. Do you think they don't hold grudges in their hearts?"

"The anger in my heart will explode one day."

"And I gave them the land, in order to pay off their debts, they will be more active and contribute more than when they were tenant farmers."

"This is something that coercion and temptation cannot do, because they want to make money from the bottom of their hearts, want to repay their debts, and want to completely own their own land."

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.

Xu Jie's strategies are all interlocking. His focus is never on a certain round or a certain battle, but on overall management, overall effort, and overall confrontation.

In Jiajing's hands, there is no prime minister of this level.

Xu Jie also seemed to have seen this point, and continued to use his advantage to force Jiajing, so that the north was in a hurry, and then looked for flaws.

Xu Dong now obeys Xu Jie's orders.

After expressing his admiration for Xu Jie, he then asked: "Jiajing's children are not good at running the country, but there are more conspiracies and tricks. I heard that he wants the whole country to vote. Does Ming Dynasty need an emperor?"

"Should we start here and simply pull Jiajing down?"

"From then on, without the constraints of the emperor, then the sky will let the birds fly."

Although Xu Dong is not an official, he understands the authority of the emperor since Dayu, and the inertia of emperors in this country since Qin Shihuang. The emperor has supreme power, which is based on the inherent concept deep in people's hearts.

Therefore, no matter how powerful a powerful minister is, he can only be a powerful minister.

If the emperor wants to be dismissed, it is just a matter of one sentence. Of course, if this sentence can be spread all over the world...

This is such a headache.

Therefore, since ancient times, powerful officials have liked to treat the emperor as a puppet, and since the Song Dynasty, they have even wished to erect a statue there to be the emperor. They dreamed of completely getting rid of the existence of the emperor.

"Jiajing is still very good."

"He knew that after the end of our land equalization, we would definitely attack the emperor, so he simply retreated and gave people the power to choose when nothing started, letting them decide whether they want the emperor or not."

"And the common people naturally choose to want the emperor."

"Since ancient times, faults have been attributed to ministers, and sages have belonged to the emperor. Although there is an element of flattery in it, it is actually a kind of simple wisdom of the common people."

"When they realize this, the emperor will be reluctant to do things that hurt the sky and reason. If he does, it is wrong. It is a foolish emperor and can be punished."

"And the emperor stands at the pinnacle of power, he has everything in name."

"So there is no need to harm the interests of the people."

"Thus, as long as the emperor is sane, whether he is running his own 'family' or wanting to display his ambitions, he is actually on the side of the people."

"The common people are not stupid, this is a manifestation of great wisdom and stupidity."

"It is also the result of the cooperation between the holy king and the people in ancient times, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years."

"It is an agreement and trust that has been maintained for tens of thousands of years."

"This is what we can't get rid of. Jiajing sees it too clearly, and he is upright enough, so he dares to do this, but we can't go against the trend and compete with him on this battlefield, or the loss outweighs the gain. .”

"So, let's see him follow him and let him finish this election."

Xu Dong hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Will this make it appear that Jiajing...is the destiny?"

"Ah……"

Xu Jie smiled and said: "Compared to what the destiny is, I think the Jiajing situation is focused on eliminating the hidden danger of us attacking the throne in the future, and we can take this opportunity to reset the yellow book and survey the population of the whole country. "

"This is the most important."

"I don't even know the population data. There is no rule of law in this country."

"With the help of the Wang family, Jiajing's ability in data collection and collation will probably be greatly improved. What he gets is not only the population data of the whole country, but also economic data."

"It's so important."

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Only when the investigation is clear can reforms be carried out better. Otherwise, it will be a blind man trying to understand the elephant, and the end result will be either cutting the foot to fit the shoe, or breaking the shoe.

Xu Jie still recognized Jiajing's wisdom and strategic layout.

It's just that Jiajing has been an emperor for a long time after all, and has never been a courtier. He rarely manages a certain thing in detail, so he lacks the ability to formulate detailed policies and frameworks.

For this, Zhang Zhixiang is also lacking.

Zhang Zhixiang has gone too far in the metaphysics of "Tao", so that he lacks a bit of earth spirit.

In terms of direction, Zhang Zhixiang was right, but in terms of the implementation of specific policies, he almost missed the mark.

Maybe he can understand after going deep into the grassroots, but that is obviously not now, it will take at least three to five years.

And what Zhang Zhixiang lacks the most right now is time...

"Three or five years with the flick of a finger, when I look back, there is already steel everywhere, billowing smoke roaring towards the sky, like a dragon but not a dragon, after all, I have already climbed the nine-story building, and I can't turn back..."

With a smile on the corner of Xu Jie's mouth, he looked at the clear paddy field with satisfaction.

I saw the sky reflected on the surface of the water, and it seemed that the sky was contained in it.

The sky is Ze, this is Dui Gua.

Capital is like water, just right.
