    At this time, Rongbi heard that Huang Mingyuan wanted the army to hire people, so he asked: "Envoy, will the Fengzhou government grant land to the people who come to Fengzhou?"

    "No!"

    Huang Mingyuan firmly objected.

    Rongbi was a little surprised and hurriedly said: "But this is not in line with the imperial system."

    "If we implement the system of receiving land, within twenty years, half of the people in Fengzhou will lose the land they depend on for their livelihood. Back then, the Northern Qi Dynasty took the lead in implementing the system of receiving land. How long has it been until this year? How many people are still holding their own?  This foundation.¡±

    Rongbi didn¡¯t say anything. The issue of land annexation has existed since ancient times. Huang Mingyuan¡¯s reasons are very good.

    "All land reclaimed by government organizations must be returned to the state. People can rent government land, but they have to pay rent. It seems that people don't have their own land, but in fact, the government is responsible for the output. The more you work, the more you get.  There¡¯s no need to worry about getting rich by selling land.¡±

    Rongbi was at a loss for words, and in the end he could only say: "The people have no choice but to sell their land. Besides, once the envoy comes out with this plan, the immigrant people will definitely be dissatisfied, and there will be more trouble, and there will be trouble in the court."

    "Rong Gong, no matter how poor the people are, if the government rents land to them, they can at least maintain food and clothing. But these lands are not controlled by the government, and the people have sold their land. Once a disaster occurs, what will the government do?  How about rescuing them? Among the immigrants, if there are those who are unwilling, they can leave Fengzhou, and I will never stop them. As for the court, we can't stop doing things because they are afraid of them gossiping. "

    Rongbi has nothing to say.

    Huang Mingyuan has a very firm attitude on this.  The people can open up wasteland on their own, and whoever develops it belongs to whom. The government encourages this, but the government will never give the people land for free.  Although a large part of the land annexation is the unscrupulous seizure of land by the powerful, the main reason is that many ordinary people do not feel sorry for selling their own land.  After all, the value of things obtained for free is not as great as those obtained with difficulty.

    Rather than giving it to ordinary people, it is better to hang it on the heads of soldiers.

    As for people¡¯s survival, Huang Mingyuan is preparing to carry out low-interest land defense loans to meet the people¡¯s financial needs.

    Rongbi no longer argued with Huang Mingyuan about this matter.  Although it was not in line with the imperial system to not grant land, there was not much official land in Fengzhou, and it was impossible to grant land on a large scale.  Rather than arguing about something that is simply impossible to achieve here, it is better to think about how to deal with the waves caused by this matter.

    At this point, Rongbi surrendered, and there was no further obstacle to the matter.

    Huang Mingyuan added: "I plan to set up a Food Bureau under the General Manager's Office to be responsible for the grain monopoly system."

    ¡°Grain monopoly system?¡±

    "In the future, Fengzhou will implement a grain monopoly system. No one except the government is allowed to buy and sell grain privately. Not only the people must sell grain to the government, but grain merchants must also sell grain to the government."

    Rongbi had some doubts.

    "I am afraid that your policy will attract criticism."

    "I don't care about other places, but Fengzhou must make way for Bibian. The Sihai Merchant Group is the largest grain merchant in Fengzhou. If I don't say anything, who dares to say so."

    Everyone had nothing to say, Huang Mingyuan was so cruel, he would even hit himself when he was cruel.

    In this era, the boss is the one who has soldiers and food. Fengzhou is an uncultivated virgin land, and its future development will inevitably arouse the covetousness of many people.  Only by controlling food in one's own hands can one not be afraid of economic pressure from any direction and have the possibility of stabilizing Fengzhou.

    Others didn't know that Huang Mingyuan wanted to completely control Fengzhou's lifeline, but they were officials and had natural discrimination and antipathy towards businessmen. Huang Mingyuan's knife was struck on the businessman, and it did no harm to other people, and everyone was happy with it.  Huang Mingyuan severely cracked down on these profiteers and restored peace to the people.

    Not long after this meeting, the Fengzhou Governor's Office announced that all newly reclaimed land would be tax-free for three years, and the government would rent rations, grain seeds, and agricultural tools to the people at a low price.  The entire Fengzhou immigration was shocked. Three years of tax exemption does not mean that as much wasteland as possible can be harvested.  As for renting rations, grain seeds, and agricultural tools to the people at low prices, no one was very enthusiastic. Some even asked if the government would not distribute them for free.

    There are those who are waiting, and there are also those who are actively renting grain, agricultural tools and the like from government leasing offices.

    Some people thought of taking advantage, but in the end they got nothing, and they were really dumbfounded.

    Seeing that the government policy would not change, and fearing that they would suffer a loss and not be able to rent grain seeds and farm tools, everyone hurriedly came in droves, and they were even more enthusiastic than when they were given out free of charge.

    As for granting land, there is no land in Fengzhou. If you want to grant it, you can just prevaricate it in one sentence.

    Besides that, it¡¯s just food.The selling system makes people a little confused, but selling to someone is not selling.  Only those grain merchants were shouting at the sky and grabbing the land, as if their parents were dead.  However, the Fengzhou government was resolute, and everyone could not even clear the relationship. Soon after, the grain merchants who saw heavy losses knew that the situation was over, so they had to sell the grain to the government to settle the matter.

    Huang Mingyuan has been inspecting various farming sites in the past few days, and he is very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the people.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????If the grain seeds are distributed for free, I don¡¯t know how many people will eat them directly.

    People all have this mentality. The more others rush to give something, the less they cherish it, whether it is items or feelings.

    The main reason why the country took back the newly allocated land and used it to make a big pot of rice is that in many places, land annexation has already begun to take place less than ten years ago.  Anyway, it is issued by the government, so just buy it and wait for the government to issue it next time.

    "Rong Gong, if there is no pressure, people will have no motivation. A large part of these people are ruffians and hooligans from all over the country who were forcibly sent to Fengzhou. If they are not managed well at the beginning, it will affect the entire immigrant group. Now he is not  If he works hard, he won't be able to pay off the money he owes the government next year. Is it easy to owe the government money? This forces him to work hard."

    Seeing the enthusiasm of the people, Rongbi had to admire Huang Mingyuan's understanding of human nature.

    "People are lazy, that's all."

    Rongbi asked worriedly: "Then, envoy, what if these people can't pay their debts next year?"

    Huang Mingyuan was not worried about this matter, and said: "There will definitely be bad debts, but the people will never owe the government money unless they have no choice. And the government is not a businessman, and we can't really force the lives of the people. This money will have  It¡¯s an accumulation, but as long as you work hard, you can definitely pay it off.¡±

    Thinking of this, Huang Mingyuan suddenly became worried about the bottom line of the government's work, that is, there is no bottom line.  People below should not be like Wang Anshi's reform, forcing people to take loans and repay them. In the end, it turned out to be a method that harmed the people.

    Huang Mingyuan thought for a while, this kind of thing really cannot be done by the government.

    The emergence of banks is imminent.

    Huang Mingyuan stopped inspecting and planned to go back to deal with the matter.

    "Rong Gong, you will be the one to conduct the next inspection. I have to go back in advance." Without waiting for Rong Bi to inquire, Huang Mingyuan turned around and left, leaving Rong Bi confused.

    Huang Mingyuan is not ready to discuss bank matters with Rongbi for the time being.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
