When it comes to land, it touches the string that everyone is most sensitive.

Even Sima Guang couldn't calm down.

"Gonggong Wang, Brother Jiefu! Land is the property of each family. It has been accumulated by generations. Whoever moves will fight to the death!"

Wang Anshi smiled, "My true uncle, have you ever contacted tenant farmers? Do you know their situation?"

"I, I...you say something."

"Okay, then I will tell Jun Shigong that the tenants of the Kong family can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at most, or even longer. For more than ten generations of the family, they paid rent for the Kong family for hundreds of years! Even if they owe the Kong family, they would have paid back the money and silver. But... they still have to pay the rent every year. If they have a little less, they will be beaten, or even sell their children. Is this fair?"

"I..." Sima Guang was choked.

Wang Anshi took advantage of the victory to pursue, "Not only the Kong family, but also the aristocratic families in Hebei, there are so many royal families and families from all over the country... They have made enough money. If they are not allowed to spit it out, the people will have no way to survive, and the court will have no money to develop industry..."

Wang Anshi shouted: "Your Majesty, you have exhausted so much wealth, but you have only established a Six Arts Academy. Now you have only cultivated a 100-technical institute and thousands of craftsmen! I want to ask, is this little person enough?"

"Of course not enough!" Wang Ning'an said: "The court should promote education and literacy, especially to cultivate talents in science and technology. It cannot be just a romantic life... It just requires money to run schools, and there are also a lack of good teachers, so local people may not be able to enter school."

"Prince, of course, the people are willing to let their children study, but the barrier is that they have no money... If they can divide the land for the people and every household can take out some food, they can invite the teacher, the court will pay some money, build a school building, and recruit students, and read and read... I strongly advocate the division of land, not for myself. Prince, you have the hope of the world, and you can't let the people down!"

Wang Ning'an nodded slightly, "Mr. Banshan, what you said is very true, but you also know that this matter is too much to be careless. How are you going to do it?"

"It's very simple. Calculated based on the time of the tenancy, if the land is directly owned by the plougher for more than twenty years, the land belongs to the landlords, and is less than twenty years old. Calculated by the years, you can pay the money from the landlords... If the people have no money, the court can advance the payment... The people have changed from tenant farmers to self-cultivated farmers, and they don't have to pay rent. This part can be used to repay the loan. The court will not lose money, and the people will not increase their expenses. After a few years, they will have their own land. Isn't it beautiful!"

"What about the landlords of the aristocratic family?" Sima Guang asked sternly, "What should they do if they object?"

"The court can help them develop industry and commerce. If they don't agree, they will be exiled. Whether it is the Bohai Sea, the Western Regions, the South China Sea, some places... If you are unwilling to give up, then behead them! Kill one person and live tens of millions of people, it's worth it!"

Wang Anshi was so murderous that it was chilling.

At least Sima Guang's face changed color because of frightening, and sat on the chair with only breathing left.

To be honest, all generations have known the dangers of powerful people and have suppressed mergers, but no one has ever been as thorough as Wang Anshi... After a brief surprise, Wang Ning'an fell into deep thought.

In fact, Wang Ning'an is not unfamiliar with the measures to force her husband.

France once did this, they sold the land to tenant farmers and abolished all their original rights; coincidentally, when the reform was made, Japan also deprived the land of the samurai group and handed it over to tenant farmers who directly cultivated the land... Because of this, these two countries had a large number of small land owners until later generations... Other countries had more or less moved the land.

To summarize briefly, the benefits of dividing land are obvious.

Only with constant production can one have perseverance.

When the people have land, society becomes stable.

Secondly, farmers' enthusiasm for farming has increased, land output has increased, and cities have more grain supply.

In addition, the abolition of the intermediate tenancy relationship and the farmers pay taxes directly to the court can increase the taxes of the court and serve as the original accumulation of industry...

I have to say that Wang Anshi has indeed sharp vision and unique insights.

Only by solving the land problem can industrialization be successfully started.

But the problem is that the land is really difficult to solve!

The Song Dynasty is the most developed country in the world and is far ahead in all aspects.

It is far from a major change that has not been seen in three thousand years, and there is no such strong pressure to destroy the country... Although Wang Ning'an knew in his heart that the Song Dynasty would always be very fragile without crossing the threshold of industrialization, but in the Song Dynasty, in addition to him and Wang Anshi, it is unlikely that it will be difficult to find a few people with similar opinions in the entire Song Dynasty.

Who will I return?

Wang Ning'an pondered for a long time, "Mr. Banshan Gong, the land must be solved, but it should not be too hasty. I think it will start with Yanzhou first and be a pilot!"

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the absent husband, but he adjusted quickly.

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"In this way, the Kong family and other other families have lands equally distributed to all tenants... Cotton spinning still needs to develop, and it is a key project. Wouldn't Wen Kuanfu have to make trouble? Let him make trouble. I hand over Yanzhou to Banshan Gong, Jeju and Shanzhou to Wen Kuanfu. You will follow your own ideas and recommend it... We will judge fairly which model is better... Another example is there, and the next step will be much easier."

Wang Anshi hopes to make drastic moves and push them directly, but he is different now than before.

After leaving the people once, I found so many problems. Has he ignored it? Is the situation in various places the same... Wang Anshi felt that his journey of enlightenment would continue.

"Prince, I have said everything I should say. Please ask Gao Ming for something else in Yanzhou. I can provide advice, but I can't interfere, otherwise things will become more scent."

Wang Ning'an thought for a while, "Mr. Banshan, let's do this. No matter where you go in the future, you will give me a copy of whatever you find. I want to know the most real situation!"

"No problem, I will give it to the prince on time."

"Okay, Yanzhou? You must send elite soldiers and powerful generals... Banshan Gong, what do you think of Su Che?"

Wang Anshi thought for a while, "He is a sincere person, but he is not flexible enough, so the prince should give him a deputy."

Wang Ning'an fell into deep thought, and he really couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

"Prince, I have a choice."

"who?"

"Lu Yan!"

Lu Yan was the magistrate of Liang County. Zhou Feng’s case was a big deal at the beginning, so Wang Ning'an had to promote the development of planting, breeding and solving local financial difficulties.

Because of the complexity of this case, after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he pardoned many death row prisoners, including Lu Yan and Zhou Feng. Lu Yan has been in prison for more than a year.

"This Lu Yan is willing to do things and can develop local talents... but the conditions in Liang County were too poor at the beginning, so he could only force the land to be seized, but the case was found... Now that the land of the Kong family in Yanzhou has been collected, he lets him do it... Su Zhe controls the overall situation and can definitely succeed!"

Wang Anshi made his own suggestions. Wang Ning'an thought for a while and smiled: "Well, he is a talented person, so that's what he did!"

After saying that, Wang Ning'an looked at Aoxiang Gong and Sima Guang again.

"We must not miss a word for what we talked about today... As for the matter of dividing the land, we cannot let anyone know. If the news is leaked in advance, we will not be able to take it away!"

"What the prince said is, we have recorded it!"

Wang Anshi didn't stay for long, and he still had to continue his investigation, and the next stop was Jiangnan.

In recent years, Jiangnan has given up rice fields, planted cotton and mulberry trees, and has become more and more intense. Wang Anshi really wants to see if there is any problem, and he can also use this to infer the situation on Wen Yanbo's side.

In order to facilitate contact, he left his second son Wang Nang in Yanzhou and took his brother Wang Anli to the south.

As a result, several elite soldiers and generals gathered in Yanzhou.

Su Che is good at managing finances and doing things rigorously. He is in charge of the overall situation. Lu Yan can fight and is also guilty. He must be eager to achieve results and let him fight ahead.

Wang Bang learned the true teachings of his father, and he helped to fill in the gaps.

Besides, the Zhang family’s uncle and nephew can also help, and it seems that the problem is not big.

Wang Ning'an immediately issued a document in the name of the Political Affairs Hall to inform the world that all the land of the Kong family would be recovered and distributed to the original tenants. The court sent specialists to be responsible for implementation and guide industrial development.

...

"It's really hateful!"

Wen Yanbo was so angry that he slapped the table, "It's all because of that stone. He just came out of the pit, and Wang Ning'an, who was so soft-hearted and had no responsibility at all. How could he preside over the government affairs hall!"

His son Wen Jifu was serving him and said casually: "Wang Ning'an may be afraid of the wind beside his pillow!"

"Hmph, haven't you been married yet? Your Majesty said that you have to wait until the mourning is over before getting married! There are almost two years left! Wang Ning'an is afraid of Wang Anshi, which is really embarrassing!"

Lao Wen kept cursing, but in fact, he was also afraid!

Now the Kong family's land is going to be returned to the tenant, and such a large piece of fat has slipped away. Wang Ning'an had promised him... If he had known this, he would rather die than come to Yanzhou than help Wang Ning'an settle Pang Ji and Han's family!

"You said, did you fool my father? The one with the surname Wang designed me from the beginning?"

Wen Jifu thought for a while, "Dad, if that's true, Wang Ning'an's mind is too deep... Judging from his son, he should have been taken by Wang Anshi, but he still stood on his father's side from the bottom of his heart."

"How can I see it?"

"Didn't he hand over Jeju and Shanzhou to his father? These two places are not inferior to Yanzhou, and they are suitable for growing cotton. Moreover, this time, more than 3 million mu of land was collected, of which more than one million mu were in Yanzhou. As for Jeju and Shanzhou, there were 800,000 mu. My son prepared to buy some land and plant all of them. When it was autumn harvest, the cotton spinning factory was run. The cotton cloth was coming out and the silver flowed in... As long as the local and the court saw the money, everyone would say that the father was wise at that time!" Wen Jifu chuckled: "As for Wang Ning'an, he was not responsible, and he was determined to please the common people and was short-sighted. At that time, the big banner of reform in the court would have to carry the father!"
