Chapter 379 People are rejoicing and undercurrents are surging
Mi Yang looked at Lu Yi, who had darker circles under his eyes than him, and said to him: "Since you have all reviewed the contents of the equalized land system, in a while, Ji Yang will promulgate the equalized land system throughout the state on my behalf.
Bar."
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Lu Yi forced himself to bow to Mi Yang.
As the chief executive responsible for the implementation of specific government affairs, it is reasonable for Mi Yang to hand over this important task to him.
However, although his face could not hide his fatigue, Lu Yi was not upset because he had taken on this heavy workload again.
On the contrary, he was quite excited.
On the one hand, the excitement in his heart stems from the trust in them revealed in Mi Yang's words.
On the other hand, for scholars with great ambitions, what they fear most is not doing too much.
What they fear is that their master will put them aside and live their lives in mediocrity.
In particular, Lu Yi knew very well that although the equalized land system was created under the leadership of Mi Yang, the equalized land system was not a simple household registration management system like the three-head system.
Land equalization is a land reform system.
In today's world, everything that involves the word land is a matter of national importance.
Under such circumstances, as long as this system can bring new vitality to the Han Dynasty, then the Mi Yang ministers who are the specific administrators today will definitely be remembered in history in the future.
There are countless people in the world, but in the end, how many people can really leave their names in history?
The four words "Leave a name in history" are a great temptation for the scholars of this generation.
Under this temptation, when Fa Miao and Deng Ai saw that Lu Yi had received such a huge benefit, they immediately looked at Mi Yang.
Their eyes were full of eagerness.
Obviously, they don't want to miss this opportunity.
Facing the eager eyes of Fa Miao and Deng Ai, Mi Yang naturally knew what they were thinking.
After realizing their thoughts, Mi Yang's tired face showed a smile.
Although Mi Yang and his ministers had carefully considered it before implementing the land equalization system.
But after all, it is a reform that involves the land system. For such a significant and national matter, no one can guarantee that after implementation, the expected results will be achieved.
But even with this level of uncertainty, as long as he and his ministers work together as one, Mi Yang will have the confidence to face all difficulties in the future.
Mi Yang first looked at Deng Aiyan and said, "You have been working in the north since you were a child. I think you know a lot about farm affairs. In the coming days, you should help Ji Yang."
Hearing Mi Yang's words, Deng Ai was overjoyed.
He quickly bowed to Mi Yang to thank him.
After assigning the task to Deng Ai, Mi Yang turned to look at Fa Miao and said, "I'll go back and pack my bags. In a few days, I'll tour the counties with Gu Gu."
Hearing the mission given to him by Mi Yang, Fa Miao was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and bowed to Mi Yang to accept the order.
Fa Miao was Liangzhou's Biejia, and one of Biejia's many responsibilities included accompanying the state herdsmen on inspection tours.
But Fa Miao knew that the reason why Mi Yang wanted to take him to inspect the counties was not entirely for this reason.
It can be seen from the documents that have been reported in the past two weeks that although the powerful clans and wealthy families in the local area who dared to resist Mi Yang have been basically wiped out.
It's just that there are many powerful families, so it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
Moreover, the influence of powerful clans in the local area has been accumulated for hundreds or even hundreds of years.
Such influence is obviously not something that can be completely wiped out with a simple liquidation operation.
Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the subsequent land equalization system at the local level, Mi Yang felt that it was necessary to visit the local areas.
It is both comfort and deterrence.
As Fa Miao was his valet and Fa Zheng's son, his prestige in Liangzhou was not low.
You must know that Fa Zheng was in Hanzhong, and he was the greatest hero who commanded the Han army to defeat Emperor Wu of Wei to the point of sighing.
After arranging these two things, Mi Yang asked several of his confidants to step aside.
After several close ministers retreated one after another, Mi Yang saw that it was getting dark outside, so he skillfully asked Ding Feng to light many candles in the hall.
Looking at the mountain of government affairs in front of him, Mi Yang couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
Looks like I'll have to stay up late again tonight.
In the past half month, Mi Yang had hardly slept for a full night.
Such high-intensity work is quite strenuous even for a young man like Mi Yang.
In the past, Mi Yang almost relied on some herbs to forcefully keep his spirit in a relatively good state.
But even though he was very tired, as a Liangzhou shepherd, Mi Yang could not say the word "give up".
Especially since the situation has developed to this point, he has no way out.
After smiling bitterly, Mi Yang reached out and moved a candle on the desk in front of her closer to herself.
When the pale yellow candlelight shone on Mi Yang's face, the tired Mi Yang recalled in his mind the scene that night in Zhuge Liang's mansion.
The environment at that time was also the same, and the pale yellow candlelight swayed slightly.
At that time, Mi Yang knelt in front of Zhuge Liang, who was as deep as the sea, and asked Zhuge Liang for advice on how to govern.
Although that day has passed a long time ago, Mi Yang does not dare or forget what Zhuge Liang taught Mi Yang that night.
Especially the sentence: "The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is strong and the country is in peace."
This is the way of governance in Zhuge Liang's heart, and it is also the way of governance in Mi Yang's heart now.
Perhaps there were many reasons why Mi Yang wanted to carry out drastic reforms in Liangzhou, but not wanting to live up to the kindness of Zhuge Liang in preaching and dispelling doubts that night was definitely one of the most important reasons.
Thinking of the great sage's voice, the fatigue on Mi Yang's face disappeared instantly.
Mi Yang is lucky, he has been favored by too many people in this life.
So he must be worthy of that heavy mountain of favor.
He really wanted to become Prime Minister Zhuge's disciple.
Lu Yi's work efficiency is very fast.
Before Mi Yang left Nanzheng, the details of the "equal land system" drafted by Fa Miao had already been arranged by Lu Yi, with Nanzheng as the center, and quickly spread to the entire Liangzhou.
Go away with the declaration.
Soon after the entire Liangzhou knew that Mi Yang was going to implement the land equalization system, Liangzhou, which was already in turmoil, instantly became even more turbulent.
Compared with the "Rebellion of Various Surnames" that occurred in Liangzhou before, the turmoil caused by the equalization of land is now more reflected in the spiritual level.
After all, the previous three-chief system was just a simple reform of the household registration management system, but with the reform of the land equalization system, Mi Yang directly extended his tentacles to the land.
Land and population have always been the two most sensitive political bottom lines in feudal society.
Most of this turmoil only occurs among the surviving wealthy families, but they know that this system is not good for them, but they now have no power to stop Mi Yang.
Moreover, although the land equalization system is compared with the previous land system, many of their future methods will be unable to be used.
But as long as they don't think about protecting the population and annexing fertile land all day long, they will also benefit from the system of land equalization.
Knowing that there is no way to stop it, it is not good for them to add that the land equalization system is not completely complete.
Therefore, no matter how much the surviving aristocratic families in Liangzhou were reluctant to implement this system, they had no intention of opposing it.
However, for the vast number of common people who were gradually liberated, after they heard about the system of land equalization through the spread of the Sanchang, their reaction was completely opposite.
Most of the common people have never read any books, but they know that land is the foundation for their livelihood in this world.
The announcement of the land equalization system meant that Mi Yang was about to grant land to them in Liangzhou.
Although Mi Yang's land granting was somewhat different from the land granting in the contemporary era, and the exposed land did not entirely belong to them.
But the exposed fields are not theirs, the mulberry fields are theirs.
Moreover, they can keep a large part of all the output produced by Lu Tian.
As long as this is guaranteed, then what does it matter if the ownership is not theirs?
People are pragmatic.
You must know that they were all people who were sheltered by powerful families. To put it bluntly, they were slaves of powerful families.
In the past, they planted the fields, but the harvests of the fields had nothing to do with them.
Not to mention the humiliation they usually receive from powerful families.
But now the Liangzhou government has clearly guaranteed that they will plant the fields and most of the harvest will be theirs.
The government will even provide seeds and cattle, and for this, the government will only charge a nominal rent.
These huge changes are enough to make any farmer feel unbelievable and ecstatic.
All the common people in Liangzhou who heard that the land equalization system was about to be implemented were filled with hope for the future.
As long as we can give them land and don't charge them excessive taxes.
Then the vast number of people who have made farming and weaving their family business for generations firmly believe that they will make the entire Liangzhou agriculture develop rapidly as quickly as possible.
And as long as Mi Yang doesn't deceive them and is willing to give them a stable future, then they will definitely try their best to satisfy Mi Yang as a tax servant in the future.
This is the simplest appeal and wish in the hearts of the vast number of people in this world.
Because of this strong appeal and desire, Mi Yang quickly won the hearts of the entire Liangzhou people.
Before Luoshui Fart appeared, the policies announced by someone like Mi Yang were basically easy to gain the trust of the people.
And as long as Mi Yang does not break his promise, the hearts and minds of the people in Liangzhou will always be firmly consolidated in Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's position in Liangzhou became irreplaceable.
However, as the system of land equalization continued to spread in Liangzhou, Cao Wei and spies with ulterior motives from all sides quickly discovered the news.
I won’t tell you how Cao Wei’s spies reacted.
It is said that after the spies from the Yizhou gentry found out the news, their faces changed drastically.
Most of the spies sent to Liangzhou by the Yizhou gentry were tribesmen they trusted.
People who are also members of aristocratic families certainly know how much damage this system will cause to their family's interests if it is actually implemented.
Unlike the Liangzhou family, the Yizhou family is not without resistance.
Originally, after learning that Mi Yang was implementing the three-chief system, many Yizhou nobles were already uneasy. Now that Mi Yang has implemented the equalization system, this is undoubtedly a frontal declaration of war against them!
Family interests must not be violated.
After realizing this, many spies from the Yizhou gentry immediately returned to Chengdu as quickly as possible.
Because of their eagerness, they arrived in Chengdu one step ahead of the messenger sent by Mi Yang.
So before Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei knew about this, many Yizhou nobles in Chengdu had already received this shocking news.
Shocked, many Yizhou nobles began to panic.
Although the three-chief system and the equal land system are currently only implemented in Liangzhou, if this system has significant effects after being implemented in Liangzhou, will Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei implement these two systems nationwide?
The answer is definitely yes.
This situation was unacceptable to many Yizhou nobles.
Worried in their hearts, many Yizhou nobles who had received the news in advance began to gather together spontaneously to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Tonight, many middle-aged people or gray-haired old people are gathering in the secret room of a mansion in Chengdu.
These people are all patriarchs or important figures of aristocratic families with great influence in Yizhou.
In terms of influence and status in Yizhou, even the Mianyang Xiao family cannot compare with any of them.
Tonight, many important figures gathered together for Mi Yang.
But in this secret room, apart from the elderly people, there was also a young man sitting beside him.
This young man is Qiao Zhou, who was at odds with Mi Yang in Chengdu.
The reason why Qiao Zhou can appear here tonight is apart from the fact that tonight's secret meeting is held in Qiao's mansion.
It was also because the contemporary head of the Qiao clan valued Qiao Zhou, a rising star in the clan.
Not long ago, Qiao Zhou finally accepted Zhuge Liang's call to serve as an official in the prime minister's palace and engage in academic research.
Being able to take up Zhuge Liang's academic post at a young age is enough to show how good Qiao Zhou's reputation for talent and learning was in Yizhou.
Of course, no matter how talented Qiao Zhou was, he did not have the opportunity to state his views in front of a group of elders.
Tonight, the reason why Qiao Yu, the head of the Qiao clan, asked Qiao Zhou to participate in the secret meeting was just to practice some of Qiao Zhou's knowledge in advance.
So after the secret meeting, the reserved Qiao Zhou could only watch his clan father arguing endlessly with many important elders.
Among them, one person argued the loudest.
"Mi Yang is simply lawless and extremely arrogant!
He first seized the power to conquer the north, and secondly violated the laws of his ancestors by setting up the Three Chiefs and the Second System of Equalizing Land. Is this behavior the work of a minister?
I think he is very ambitious and disobedient!
We must join forces with our colleagues to report to His Majesty immediately and ask His Majesty to punish Mi Yang.
Otherwise, if things go by for a long time, will Liangzhou be the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty or the Liangzhou of his Mi Yang?"
Even though everyone is meeting in secret tonight because of their own interests, they are used to being high-sounding, but they still habitually continue to be hypocritical when arguing.
If a person has been pretending for a long time, sometimes he will feel as if he is really a loyal minister who is rare to see in a hundred years.
The person who issued this suggestion was named Li Miao, with the courtesy name Hannan.
Well, it was Li Miao who had a disobedient attitude toward Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang in history and believed that Zhuge Liang's death should be a happy event.
What the hell.
