Chapter 525: Talking about Farming (Part 2)
Time seems silent.
Li Chenan didn't say it again, because his words were indeed worth pondering.
Their vision was limited to the environment they existed, and Li Chenan's words completely subverted their cognition, and it was difficult to understand it for a while.
Two dog barking suddenly came from the quiet night.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan, who was bored behind Li Chenan, was shocked immediately. At the same time, Xiao Baozi also turned his head and looked in the direction where the dog barking came.
Her eyes lit up and she nodded at Wang Zhenghaoxuan. Wang Zhenghaoxuan grinned, understood, turned around, and flew out quietly.
Su Yian and Liu Xiayin didn't pay any attention to the lack of one person. They were still thinking about what Li Chenan said.
"According to the Regent's words...will the cause of this annexation become a peasant?"
Liu Xiayin had forgotten the grief and anger he saw at the south gate at this moment. He frowned and said:
"But since ancient times, land has been the lifeblood of farmers... The country allocates land to farmers, of course, hoping that they can hold a solid job."
"But in the disaster year, just like Jingning County, there are indeed cases where some farmers sell their own land."
Liuxiayin suddenly realized that this section could not be avoided.
"However, the gentry and wealthy families took advantage of the disaster year to lower the land price, which is absolutely true... Not to mention that Jingning County has accepted many such low-priced land transfers, just the Zhou Daliang man in Zhouzhuang, who bought the large amount of land at half price because of the two consecutive droughts in the tenth and eleventh year of Zhaohua."
"Is this considered oppression of the rich against the poor?"
Li Chenan smiled slightly and said, "Land is a commodity."
"There is a problem of supply and demand for any commodity on the market."
"During the disaster year, farmers sold a large number of land products, and a large number of similar products appeared on the market, which naturally led to the lower prices of this type of products."
"Of course, I don't deny what you said about trickery."
"It's like the land in Zhouzhuang."
"I've seen it, and it's almost all Ueda."
"But Zhou Da Shanren was extremely powerful in Zhouzhuang. He used his power to prevent other rich people from participating in the sale of Zhouzhuang land."
"There are many sellers, but he is the only buyer, so it becomes the buyer's market, and the price is decided by his buyer."
"But this is still not the main reason for land annexation. If farmers can support their family from the land harvest, they can profitably and withstand the risks of this natural disaster, will they sell land?"
"They won't!"
"Then the relationship between buying and selling does not exist."
"But the problem is that they cannot rely on the land output to ensure their family's food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
"Selling land is a matter of time sooner or later!"
"On the way from Kyoto, I even saw many abandoned lands!"
"I can't even sell it, so I'd rather not go and make another way to make a living!"
"What does this mean?"
"It shows that emperors of all dynasties thought that distributing land to farmers could ensure the long-term stability of the country. It is a false proposition!"
"It puts these dynasties into a vicious cycle."
"This is one of the main reasons why there are only three hundred years in all dynasties!"
Liu Xiayin suddenly realized.
The root of the problem is not these places!
The output of these fields cannot truly provide farmers with food and clothing without worries!
Su Yian also straightened out Li Chenan's words at this moment.
He also understood the crux of this.
But it is the same thing. All dynasties have made the same mistake and have been unable to get out of this vicious cycle. How should we solve this?
He looked at Li Chenan blankly. Only then did he truly understand what Hua Manting said in his heart—
"He might become a light!"
"A light of hope!"
He was only eighteen years old, but he saw the root of the farm!
He did not talk about other problems. Since he could see through the most complex land annexation problem in a sharp way, he thought he had unique insights on the other issues and had even had solutions.
"Regent, then... in your opinion, shouldn't emperors of all dynasties allocate land to peasants?"
Li Chenan waved his hand, "There is no problem. The problem is how to make farmers earn enough money to support their families while owning land to avoid their large-scale sales of land."
Su Yian bowed and said with great sincerity:
"Please help the Regent to answer the doubts!"
Liu Xiayin also looked at Li Chenan with great anticipation.
Even Xiao Baozi and Amu looked at Li Chenan at this moment.
The two of them didn't care about this matter at first.
But after hearing Li Chenan's simple and easy-to-understand statement, they vaguely understood that there was such a reason for the change of dynasties.
Since the problem has been found, what method will Li Chenan use to solve this problem?
He was only eighteen years old, and the two old men in their forties were looking forward to his answers as much as their students...
Xiao Baozi's slender eyes were crescent-shaped.
She looked at Li Chenan and suddenly felt that the cow she was looking for was not good at taking the initiative to plow the fields, but he seemed to have excellent other abilities.
Xiao Baozi pursed his lips and thought to himself that he was practicing the Buer Zhoutian Art. If he was to plow the fields, it would be very powerful.
If he can practice the Bu Er Zhou Tian Jue to the Great Perfection...
If there was only one piece of field, he would probably have plowed all the fields!
She was distracted again.
I didn't think about how farmers didn't sell land anymore, but I kept thinking about another question she was extremely curious about-
If he practices the Great Perfection of the Bu Er Zhoutian Art, how many fields will he need to consume his pure Yang energy?
This is a question that has never been answered in the world.
Does answering this question seem to be more difficult than not allowing farmers to sell land?
No, you have to continue to comprehend the "Cihangdao Book" to the Great Perfection!
Use softness to overcome hardness!
Use yin to transform yang!
She bit her lip and stared at Li Chenan's eyes-
Look at this girl, you cow, exhausted!
Just as Xiao Baozi was thinking about this in his heart, Li Chenan spoke:
"To eliminate this problem to the greatest extent, in my opinion, the most effective way is to increase the income channels for farmers!"
"This is back to the topic you asked me at the beginning."
Su Yian was stunned, "Start from industry and commerce?"
Li Chenan nodded slightly, Liu Xiayin asked again in confusion:
"Farmers don't even have money to maintain food and clothing, how can they do business?"
"It's not for them to do business!"
Li Chenan looked at Liu Xiayin and was about to give further explanation, but suddenly turned his head.
In the night, Wang Zhenghaoxuan fell from the sky.
