Chapter 691 Planning To Open Up Wasteland To Grow Food!
Li Decai immediately nodded in agreement.
Su Ran smiled and shook her head:
"No need to go to such trouble, as long as your School Disciple notifies the following counties.
"In addition, you can organize people to promote it in each village~"
"Tell them we have developed fifty or sixty acres of wasteland."
“We are short of manpower now, so we can come to our place to open up wasteland and grow food.
"Okay! Mr. Su is really thoughtful."
Li Decai called the clerk of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wrote the order on paper, and handed it to him:
"Go ahead and follow Master Su's instructions."
"Yes." The clerk took the note and ran away.
For the next period of time, Su Ran was busy planning things.
First, he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to reduce the land tax to two dou per mu.
It also promised to charge market prices for the grain grown next autumn and winter.
In addition, he also ordered all towns and villages to mobilize clean labor force.
Form a militia to protect local people and prevent bandits and bandits from harassing them.
In addition, in order to prevent someone from cheating.
He also set some special rules.
For example, if anyone dares to be lazy or cut corners during land reclamation.
Once investigated and dealt with, no mercy will be given lightly and punishment will be severe;
For example, anyone who digs a mine without permission will be killed with a cane; anyone who steals potato seedlings will be killed without mercy;
Those who are good at robbing tombs will be killed by the nine tribes; those who are good at making poison will be killed without mercy.
In short, Su Ran personally supervised this matter, and he would never tolerate it if someone made a mistake.
After everything was arranged properly, it was the turn of ownership of the wasteland.
Although the imperial court allowed land reclamation, the wasteland did not belong to the imperial court, but belonged to Su Ran's own property.
"Colleagues, today we will discuss the ownership of wasteland."
After watching everyone sit down, Liran said.
"wasteland?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Yes! The wasteland here belongs to me. Now I am going to allocate it and let each of you open a thousand acres of wasteland."
"The specific number of acres to carve out depends on your respective abilities."
"..."
Everyone looked at each other.
One thousand acres of wasteland? This number is really scary.
Although some of these people came from the capital.
But not many people are willing to leave the capital.
Especially since they don’t have much savings in hand right now.
It is simply impossible to come up with this huge amount.
Looking at the silent crowd, Su Ran sighed slightly:
“Dear colleagues, if you don’t have enough savings,
........
"I can lend you this amount temporarily."
"But you have to promise me that I will occupy 40% of the land that is cleared, and you will share the remaining 70% equally."
"Uh! Forty percent?"
Everyone was stunned again, this was simply a money grab!
With so much land, once it is cultivated, it will definitely make a lot of money.
But Su Ran suddenly wants to leave 40%, isn't this an idiot?
.....O
"What? Do you think it's too little?"
Seeing the expressions of these people, Su Ran said calmly.
"no no......
Everyone waved their hands quickly, fearing that Su Ran would misunderstand.
Su Ran continued:
"Okay, let's do this! I'll lower the price for you by another 10%, and each of you can get 80% of the profit. How about that?"
"Hiss~ 80% profit?"
This price made everyone gasp.
Although they still have a lot of money in their hands.
But if you want to use it to buy land.
That's a lot of money too.
If you can only get 60% of the profit, it is barely acceptable.
But in this case, each of their savings will not be enough to sustain such a large infrastructure construction expenditure.
So they all looked at Su Randin with sad faces. .
