Chapter III Household Contract System

Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 3 Family joint contracting system

In this world, in shameless places, many people are studying alchemy. They are suppressed by the church and the country and have almost no room for survival, but they never give up their dreams and rush towards the flames like moths.

Bina is one of them, but she has a very high status and acts very secretly, completely different from ordinary alchemists.

Luo Lan couldn't understand why a nun secretly studied alchemy that was forbidden by the church, but he didn't have to understand it. Now he just needs to use the chips well.

"Miss Bina, have you lost something?"

Luo Lan, who was drinking water, showed a slightly beating expression. Bina clenched her teeth. How smart she was. When she saw Luo Lan's appearance, she knew that he had discovered his "Alchemy".

"What do you want?"

Bina took a deep breath and walked towards Luo Lan calmly, "Want to threaten me? Want to ask for gold coins? Or report to the church?"

Bina was a little aggressive. She hated Luo Lan very much. At this time, there was even more hatred in her disgust. She even suspected that Luo Lan would threaten her to give her body. After all, Luo Lan has been eyeing her for the past two years.

However, Luo Lan did nothing. He just took out "Alchemy" and placed it on the table, "This is your thing, I'll give you back."

The aggressive Bina was stunned. She stood two meters away from Luo Lan, looking at Luo Lan a little foolishly. Then she quickly approached, grabbed the book and stuffed it into her arms, her movements neatly and elegantly.

Luo Lan looked at her quietly, "About the previous topic, I said you were wrong. Now I will ask you again, what would happen if I lowered the tax rate?"

Bina looked at the prince in front of her in surprise. She really didn't understand Luo Lan's ideas, so she returned the books that could threaten her unconditionally, and then continued to discuss the unfinished topics?

Bina blinked her eyelashes and raised her chin, "Reduce the tax rate and the farmers will naturally become rich. Do you not understand this at all? Suppose a farmer harvests 1,000 liters of wheat a year, if the tax rate is lowered, he can leave more wheat and his life will be better."

Bina is knowledgeable and has certain insights into taxation. At this moment, she wants to teach Luo Lan a good lesson so that he can understand this superficial truth.

However, Luo Lan smiled, and smiled subtly, as if she was laughing.

Benna frowned immediately: "What are you laughing at?"

Luo Lanxiao naturally had a reason. This little girl didn't understand the lower-level land system at all. In fact, to put it bluntly, the land now is just a big cake. The lord holds a fork with his hands and eats a bite from time to time. The farmers worked hard to make this cake, but they didn't have a fork. They had to wait for the lord to allocate a small and short fork before they could eat it.

"I laugh at you for being stupid. Your assumption is not true at all. Because the land belongs to the lords and the wheat belongs to the lords. Farmers just eat big pots. No matter how much they plant, their big heads will still be taken away by the lords. In this case, why do they have to farm desperately? They are like horses now, and they will only walk with a whip. Where does a thousand liters of harvest come from?"

Luo Lan said: "So, the biggest reason for the miserable peasants is not the high tax rate, but the lack of enthusiasm. What they need is not the mercy of the lord, but the ownership of their own land."

The way out is to let the farmers hold the fork and make their own cake. From a socialist perspective, when farmers have their own fork, their production relations will change, so in order to eat a more delicious cake, they will be extremely active and their productivity will increase.

The land of Bouji is vast and sparsely populated, and the arable land is rich. If you are motivated, one thousand liters and ten thousand liters are no problem. The problem is that the farmers have no motivation and they grow a lot of food in order to deal with the lord's taxes.

Bina was stunned when she heard this. She lowered her head and thought for a long time, vaguely feeling that Luo Lan's words made sense.

But she immediately sneered, "This is the reason why you have a tax rate of 60%. Now it is no longer a slave society. You can't take away their wheat, the wheat is theirs!"

Yes, society has progressed, and now it is a semi-slave and semi-feudal society. The young nun has a very high level of thought.

Luo Lan walked with his hands on his back, and he said slowly: "Let us put aside all contradictions first. Don't be prejudiced against me, and I will ignore your "Alchemy" for the time being. I put forward a big but hypothesis, and you can listen fairly and justly."

Bina raised her face and listened coldly. She actually agreed with Luo Lan's theory of motivation in her heart.

Luo Lan moved her throat and said a word that will be passed down forever in future generations.

"Three years of tax exemption, and the land will be distributed to households."

This sentence is like a devil's spell, which swept across the entire Nolan continent more than ten years later and completely changed the existing land system.

At this moment, Bina's eyes suddenly opened, her lips wide open, her face full of incredible ideas, and she vividly interpreted what shock was.

"how?"

Luo Lan looked at the shocked Bina with a smile. Bina stuttered for a while and said, "I know, I don't know, what does it mean to divide the land... to get a household?"

She vaguely guessed something, but she was not sure, not sure, because it was too advanced.

"It means contracting the arable land to the farmers. They no longer cultivate for the feudal lords, but farm for themselves, paying certain taxes according to the size of the cultivated area, and the rest of the income will be given to the people."

Bina didn't speak for a long time, and she was completely shocked.

What is this concept? It is equivalent to giving the land of the feudal lord to the peasants and liberating the peasants from slavery.

This is a great innovation. No feudal lord in the world is willing to do this, because it gives farmers real freedom!

Bina is not easy to predict the effect, but the farmers will definitely be much better than countless times. Bina looked at Luo Lan who was smiling blankly, and she thought to herself: This person is crazy.

Of course, this lunatic is great, if it can be achieved.

Bina pinched her little hand and sat back to her seat. She drank a few sips of water and calmed down her mood.

"Prince Roland, you have been here for two years and have made the already poor island miserable. I really can't believe that you will share the land to the farmers. Tell me first, why did you collect such heavy taxes before?"

Bina didn't understand why Luo Lan's temperament changed drastically, and she had too many doubts in her heart.

Luo Lan shrugged, "I am for reform. Now the heavens are angry and people are rebelling. Many places on the island are rebelling. The farmers have had enough of the current system and urgently need a catharsis. I am forcing them to realize that the current system is no longer suitable for them."

In fact, the above are all Luo Lan's nonsense. The tax revenue was not increased by Luo Lan at all, but the previous stupid prince.

But in order to win over the nuns of the church to serve themselves, let’s justify themselves first.

Bina thought for a while and suddenly said in surprise: "You want to use public grievances to implement the system of dividing land to households? You are... trying to take away the land of the lords!"

Luo Lan raised her eyebrows. This Bina was really knowledgeable, far beyond her expectations.

"Yes, this is called the vast ocean of people's war. Bouji Island is my island. I don't need a small lord. I have the right to exploit their titles. The reason is that they evade taxes, but I dare not do so. First of all, I want the people to support me, and secondly, I want you to support me. I want you to tell the people, just say, the prince promises to exempt taxes from taxes for three years and divide land into households. This system is called the household contract responsibility system."
