This phenomenon attracted Su Yin Su Yin to do some in-depth investigation and told Su Yonglin what less important information was recorded about tenancy in many places in Shandong.
So Su Yonglin knows very well that these landlords are like exploiting tenants, exploiting them without even a trace of flesh and blood.
"In good years, land rent is often more reasonable. Few people flee and starve to death. Landlords will not deliberately raise rents to make things difficult for tenants. They can also eat a little more food, but once there is a famine somewhere, it will be different.
Once there is a famine in some places, the price of food will inevitably increase, and the distance will be closer. When landlords smell business opportunities, they will start hoarding and make a fortune, and they will need more food, so they will raise the rent and exploit more food from tenants.
To make matters worse, once refugees flee to a certain place, some unscrupulous landlords will threaten their tenants. If they are unwilling to raise the tenancy, they will take back their land and sublet it to those refugees who have fled.
Those refugees are hungry and their eyes are green. Who cares if there are so many? Having land to farm and a bowl of rice to eat is more important than anything else, so the high-tenancy drove away the low-tenancy.
This situation is similar to bad money driving out good money in vernacular Chinese, because land landlords are absolutely weak, and it is too little to have enough to eat without bargaining and to see the conscience of landlords.
In some places, the tenant rent is getting higher and higher, the tenant living environment is getting worse and worse, the possibility of satiety is getting lower and lower, and the speed of land merger is getting faster and faster, and the contradiction between landlord and tenant is becoming more and more acute. "
Su Yonglin sighed and said, "At this moment, we will enact such a law to break this negative cycle of restriction, which will definitely cause a nationwide shock."
Chapter 636 My emperor’s strength is limited.
Su Yonglin gave a lecture, and everyone was lost in thought. As he explained, he nodded slowly to understand the truth.
Kong Maojie, the director of the Ministry of Supervision of Fuxing Association, reacted quickly.
"What the chairman means is that the state has enacted laws to force the landlord not to draw 40% of the grain to cross this line to death no matter what the situation is, so as to safeguard the interests of tenants?"
Su Yonglin nodded his head.
"Yes, that’s what it means. If you don’t bargain, you won’t even be protected by the court. This kind of situation is similar to that in ancient times, which is unacceptable to us."
Su Yonglin went on to say, "Such a law can safeguard the interests of tenants, so that tenants will not starve to death even if they lose their bargaining power. It is beneficial to the country and the people to restrict the landlord Hu Fei and hoard me."
We need to know that the more landlords exploit, the greater the possibility of refugees, and once refugees are generated, the government will pay the price. How can it be such a good thing that landlords forcibly throw this part of the price to the government to eat their own brains? "
After hearing Su Yonglin’s words, Zhou Xian, director of the General Department of Fuxing Society, frowned.
"Chairman, it is naturally a good thing to do so. We all know that, but can it really be implemented in place? Not to mention that there are bound to be protests in the DPRK, even if the court passes this decree, can it really be implemented locally?
If we want to implement this policy, we must judge the total grain output. If we want to ensure justice, we must involve the government in weighing, and the government should send people to intervene in landlords and tenants. Can landlords agree to this? You also said that it would cause a nationwide shock. "
Many people agree with Zhou’s opinion that such a policy is good and good, but it is bound to be difficult to implement it. It is certain that many people have difficulties in promoting it in violation of government decrees.
Don’t even think about this kind of thing. It is almost inevitable that many famous ancient reform strategies are difficult to advance, and some will take ten or twenty years to advance slowly. For example, Zhang Juzheng began to implement a whip method
Even so, it will face the danger of death.
Changjiang Yu, the organization department, also expressed his own worries.
"Even if the imperial court forces people to intervene in landlords and tenants, those local landlords will probably repel a number of tenants and keep the minimum labor force in order to save their losses.
Land is their government can’t take it away, so if we don’t wait until the disaster year, there will be a large number of refugees who will affect stability. Isn’t that a big worry? "
Yes, this is also a problem.
Many members of the society agree with Jiang Yu that once this law is implemented, it will inevitably cause many difficulties, and even more serious is that a large number of refugees will affect social stability before the effect is seen.
It is not known whether the landlord group will carry out armed protests, which is very troublesome
But relatively another group of Renaissance members.
They think Su Yonglin is doing this to this unfair exploitation and oppression phenomenon, and we must fight bravely to lead the tenants to overthrow those unscrupulous bastards.
Tian Jue made a speech on behalf of these revived members.
"Tenants work hard, landlords sit on a lot of land, and they can enjoy it without doing anything, and they can also forcibly seize more than half of the fruits of labor from tenants. Tenants are hungry and blue, but landlords are ruddy.
Many of you are from tenant families. Don’t you know that tenancy is hard and miserable? Isn’t it the original intention of the revival meeting to change all this? If this timid, regardless of the tenant’s life and death, will revival be necessary? "
Tian Jue was silent for a while after his speech.
Tao Yongguang, head of the Department of Civil Affairs of Tian Jue and Shu Bu, also made a speech later.
"Premier Tian said that there is always a solution to the problem that soldiers will block the water and cover up the soil. The chairman also said that we can’t stop solving problems because we have problems, and we can’t be timid because we are worried that there will be problems. If so, what is the difference between revival and those decadent officials?"
Tian Jue and Tao Yongguang, the first batch of revival members, firmly supported Su Yonglin’s idea and strongly urged to promote this policy.
Zhou Chu and Jiang Yushou are not against Su Yonglin.
Zhou Xian got up to speak.
"We are thinking more about it, and we think that it will cause great shock at this moment when it is just established, which will make the country unstable, and there are still many policies around China that have not yet been unified.
Western Xia, southern Song, eastern Korea, northern Korea, grassland cavalry, these are all our potential threats. If something happens to us, won’t they take advantage of the trouble? "
Tao Yongguang resolutely opposed this and refuted it.
"National stability has always been relatively unstable. It is normal for some regions or fields to shake. If we have problems, these countries may not have no problems.
I heard that Xia Guo fights badly, and Li Renxiao, the king of Xia State, is competing with each other. The infighting department is very divided. Do they have the spare capacity to interfere?
The same is true of the Song Dynasty, where farmers are rising one after another. The Song Dynasty is tired of suppressing the roots of the Ministry. It is impossible to threaten Da An Gao Li … Give him ten courage and he will not dare to invade.
And this is in line with the fact that the interests of the broad masses of working people are bound to be supported by the majority, and there is no need to fear those exploiters, just as the Guangfu Army did not fear the 8 Jin Army in those days. "
Tao Yongguang’s rebuttal made Zhou Yi and Jiang Yu have something to say, and the members who opposed it also had something to say, and they could turn their attention to Su Yonglin.
