Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 249 Foresight
Chen Fan comforted Li Banghua, telling him not to worry.

"I believe that most of the squires are sensible and will be willing to cooperate with the imperial court's land reform policy. Of course, there will also be a small group of diehards who do not cooperate. For these cancers that hinder the construction of Ming Dynasty, a small operation will be performed. Just cut them off, and it won't affect the great plan of Ming Dynasty construction."

At the end of Chen Fan's speech, his tone became colder and colder.

Even the ministers present shuddered when they heard this.

Because everyone heard a strong killing intent from the last sentence of the national teacher.

Chen Fan is willing to pay high subsidies to the landlords of Ming Dynasty.

From Chen Fan's point of view, he was already very benevolent.

If this were other traversers, how could they be so polite to the gentry class.

It will only raise the butcher's knife to kill and kill, and force the land to be nationalized.

Ten taels of silver for one mu of land.

With such a high premium, if these squires still don't agree, then it would be a little ignorant.

At that time, Chen Fan would let these diehards know that he also loses his temper sometimes.

If you want to deal with a group of thorns and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, it will be easier to advance land reform.

Isn't Chongzhen going to start reorganizing his armaments?

When the new army is trained, Chen Fan will see which gentry dares to obstruct Daming's land reform.

Of course, this is a means of force that will only be used when there is no other way.

Chen Fan only hopes that these squires can be more realistic!

Otherwise, the worst-case scenario is to resort to military force and carry out activities against landlords across the country.

This is what Chen Fan doesn't want to see. He still hopes to have a smooth transition and exchange high subsidies for the land in the hands of the gentry.

The reason for taking such gentle measures against these gentry class is not that Chen Fan has any good impression of them.

It was purely because Chen Fan didn't want the whole country to be in turmoil in Ming Dynasty.

All his thoughts now are on the planning of the modernization of the capital.

Chen Fan will not allow any other behaviors that hinder the construction of the capital to happen.

Therefore, high land subsidies will make most of the gentry compromise.

The reason why Chen Fan used subsidies to take back the land, instead of using force to forcibly confiscate their land.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of benefit distribution.

All the resources in the world belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Daming is sitting on such a huge cake, everyone can get their own share.

Since everyone can eat enough, there is no need to be stingy with these squires.

Even if these squires have a lot of wealth, what does it matter!

Chen Fan was not worried at all.

Anyway, all these wealth are within the territory of Daming, so it belongs to Daming.

As for whether the wealth is in the hands of the common people, or in the hands of these gentry and dignitaries.

Chen Fan didn't care.

The wealth gap between the rich and the poor is not within the scope of Chen Fan's current consideration.

It will take at least ten years before we start to solve the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor.

The meat is rotten in the pot, as long as it is from Daming.

In this era, Chen Fan is not afraid that these squires who have obtained huge wealth will transfer the wealth belonging to Daming overseas.

In Daming, there are probably very few people who are willing to take all their wealth and go overseas!

In everyone's mind, overseas is a barren land with a harsh living environment.

Only the mainland of China, with its vast land and abundant resources, is the most suitable paradise for everyone to live in.

and so.

Chen Fan wasn't worried at all about these gentry absconding overseas with money.

There is another important reason why Chen Fan is not worried about the concentration of wealth in the hands of the gentry.

That is Chen Fan has a way to transfer the wealth from their hands to the court.

Moreover, it is a legal and compliant method to ensure that they will not say a word.

Even if they suffered heavy losses, they could only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

All these squires who received huge compensations were relocated to the capital.

Chen Fan believed that in the face of the prosperity of the modern capital, even if they were driven away, they would not be willing to leave the capital.

During the modernization of the capital, as more and more commodities are produced, the wealthy gentry in the capital will find that inflation is getting worse and their wealth is depreciating sharply.

At this time, they will panic.

They hold a huge amount of wealth in their hands, and they still want to enjoy it in the capital forever.

But now, money is becoming less and less valuable, and their wealth is depreciating.

Just when they don't know how to stop their wealth from devaluing.

At this time, Chen Fan can follow the trend and launch the Capital Stock Exchange.

Open a new era of stock trading.

Although these squires have doubts about the stock market, they dare not invest a lot of money in it.

For Chen Fan, these are not important.

As long as they see that the stock of Daming Textile Co., Ltd. is rising every day, it will double their income in less than a month.

When they saw that the stock of Daming Petroleum Company had a daily limit, they invested 1 taels, and within a few days, they could get a profit of 2 taels.

When these squires saw the stock market, the stocks of countless national enterprises of Ming Dynasty were all soaring.

Chen Fan didn't believe it, they wouldn't be tempted.

Because at this time, they will find that only by investing their wealth in the stock market, the returns they get will outperform the rate of inflation.

Only in this way, their wealth will not depreciate.

At that time, facing the temptation of the stock market, a large number of gentry will invest their wealth in the stock market.

Once they have tasted the sweetness, Chen Fan can start cutting their leeks.

Transfer their wealth to the imperial court in a reasonable and legal manner.

Then use this wealth to speed up the construction and development of Daming.

After these squires lost a lot of wealth, they will only become more obsessed with the stock market, and they will only think about getting back their capital as soon as possible, and they will sink deeper and deeper.

Then everyone will find miraculously that after the stock market has plummeted for a period of time, it suddenly soars into the sky like a rocket.

From the perspective of human greed, these squires will only lose themselves and put all their funds into the stock market for a fight.

At this time, they will find out in despair that the stock market is booming, but why it plummeted without warning!

By cutting leeks twice like this, Chen Fan can loot their wealth to the imperial court reasonably and legally.

and so.

Strictly speaking, the huge amount of wealth that Chen Fan subsidized to the squires was only temporarily placed in their hands for safekeeping.

When the time is right, Chen Fan will take back the wealth.

For such a far-sighted idea, Chen Fan had to admire his ingenuity.

Looking at the laughter below, Chen Fan also showed an inexplicable smile.

It is better not to tell these ministers about this plan, so as not to leak the news, and the gentry class will not take the bait, that would be bad.

However, for the sake of the ministers building the capital, Chen Fan could give them a break before starting to cut the leeks.
