The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1149

[Chapter 1149: Land System Promotes Production]

But now Lin Hu is hesitating, just like the other villagers, he doesn’t want to continue raising pigs.

When Lin Tian looked at Lin Hu, Lin Hu’s eyes met Lin Tian’s, and then Lin Hu quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Lin Tian for too long. When Lin Tian saw this scene, his heart was full of doubts. Lin Tian

had already told these villagers before that they would bear the consequences of this matter themselves, and they didn’t need these farmers to spend another 1 or 2 silver to buy piglets. Are they still worried now?

Even if it’s Lin Hu, you see he wouldn’t want to stop raising pigs because of this little thing? Thinking of this, Lin Tian didn’t understand what was going on with these villagers, so he had no way to get them to come up and get the piglets.

“Since they are unwilling to listen to my arrangements, I will force them to listen to my arrangements.”

Lin Tian couldn’t help thinking in his heart, and then Lin Tian glanced at the villagers who were watching, and then continued to say to them:

“You all know that the lives of the slaves in the fiefdoms of other royal nobles are the same as you have lived before.

But now I have distributed all the land to you, so I have to ask for a certain return, otherwise, my Prime Minister’s Mansion will not be able to maintain. Maybe you don’t know that if such a large Prime Minister’s Mansion, with so many people, is only maintained by my small annual salary, then I am afraid…”

Lin Tian paused after saying this, and then the villagers who were watching were obviously nervous after Lin Tian said this.

Some villagers even thought in their hearts: Is Prime Minister Lin going to take back his own land?

These villagers who were watching also showed very nervous expressions at this time, and were very afraid that Lin Tian would take back the land that had been distributed to them. If this was the case, their current happy life would no longer exist.

“So, I decided to add a system, which is the same as the current land system of Yan State. Every year, the Huangguang nobles need to hand in a certain amount of grain, so that my Prime Minister’s Mansion can have income and so many people can live. I hope you can understand.”

Lin Tian spoke to the nervous villagers at the right time. At the same time, Lin Tian’s face showed an embarrassment. Even Chen Huifang, who was standing next to Lin Tian, did not see that Lin Tian’s expression was all fake.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the current land system of Yan State. The current land system of Yan State is the so-called exploitation system.

Every year, the amount of land handed over by the royal nobles to the royal family of Yan State is countless, and even some royal nobles can barely take it out.

Now Lin Tian wants to implement this system in his own real estate. Lin Tian distributes these lands to them, and they also need to hand in enough grain to Lin Tian. After hearing about Lin Tian’s system, these villagers all expressed their unwillingness.

Because if they handed over some food to Lin Tian, their life would be very tight every year, and even if they encountered a disaster year, they might not even have any food. At that time, not to mention handing over the food, even their own life would be very difficult.

After thinking carefully, they all wanted to express their unwillingness to Lin Tian. After seeing their faces change, Lin Tian also clearly knew what they were thinking, so Lin Tian could smoothly implement his system.

“I think you all know the disadvantages of the land system in Yan State. If you encounter drought, flood, or locusts, you may not be able to pay the grain. So, I have come up with a solution for you. If you

continue to raise pigs, the land will still be yours, and you don’t have to pay the grain every year. Just think of it as raising pigs for me.

Moreover, if you encounter unexpected situations, I will help you to bear it. In addition, I will give you a certain subsidy for the villagers who raise pigs every year, and then you will really become rich.”

Lin Tian continued to speak to the villagers who were watching, but after Lin Tian said it, he felt that what he said was not right, and it was a bit like scolding them as pigs. Even Chen Huifang beside Lin Tian heard it and pulled Lin Tian’s sleeve.

But since Lin Tian had already said it, it was not good to say anything else. Even if he added it now, it might make them think that Lin Tian was scolding them, so Lin Tian didn’t say anything.

It must be said that Lin Tian’s method is really good. After hearing what Lin Tian said, the villagers all lowered their heads and thought about it, and then some villagers came up to receive the piglets.

They still understood the pros and cons of this system. After all, if they handed over the grain, they would not only worry about the food they needed to eat every year, but also worry about other natural disasters.

But now if they do as Lin Tian said, they can not only be exempted from taxes, but also receive certain subsidies. Naturally, they will be tempted.

So many villagers came up to receive the piglets, but most of them only received one or two, and did not intend to raise them on a large scale. After observing this scene, Lin Tian found that they were all looking for loopholes in this system to avoid the important issues.

Lin Tian fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to let them raise them on a large scale.

“Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to say just now. I will add one more thing. You have to think clearly now. The number of piglets you receive now will affect the amount of subsidies you have not received.”

Lin Tian lowered his head and thought about it. He thought of a way to solve this problem, so he quickly opened his mouth and added to them.

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the villagers were excited again, because this was not only a subsidy, but also the main source of income for their lives. So those villagers who were receiving piglets received a few more.

And those villagers who had already received piglets also felt a little regretful, but there were still some villagers with thick skin who returned to the square to receive piglets again.

After seeing this scene, Lin Tian did not stop them, but smiled. Because if this can promote their productivity, it is understandable that Lin Tian loses a little more money.
