As a time traveler, Mi Yang's actions in the past few years have not only changed the general trend of the world, but also profoundly affected the trajectories of those who have left a great reputation in history.
As for the good and bad effects, I will not list them for now.
Anyway, there are countless talented people in the world who want to use Mi Yang as a touchstone, and Jiang Wei is not the least of them.
What deserves Mi Yang's attention is where Liangzhou should go next.
More than half a month has passed since Mi Yang sent out a large army to clean up the powerful locals in Liangzhou.
In more than half a month, due to Mi Yang's unexpected tactics and Liang Jun's strong combat power, the local wealthy families in Liangzhou who were capable of confronting Mi Yang had basically been wiped out.
However, this was possible not only because of Mi Yang's proper arrangements, but also because Liangzhou actually only governed two counties.
The local tyrants in Hanxing County had been almost wiped out by Mi Yang when the Shen brothers started the rebellion.
Therefore, most of what Mi Yang faces now is just local powerful people in Hanzhong County.
While Mi Yang led his troops to clean up the borers in the territory, he also left some troops to defend two important positions in Hanzhong.
After all, the current Cao Wei guard in Guanzhong is not Xia Houmao, but the famous general Cao Zhen in history.
One location is of course Yangpingguan, which is regarded as the throat of Hanzhong.
Regarding the defense arrangements at Yangping Pass, Mi Yang surprised everyone and asked Wu Yi to lead the army to garrison it.
Although this point is somewhat incomprehensible to others, after all, Mi Yang had just relieved Wu Yi of military power.
But from Mi Yang's perspective, he had multiple considerations in doing so.
Since Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, Wu Yi has been the guard of Yangping Pass. Wu Yi may have a better understanding of the terrain of Yangping Pass than Wei Yan.
Moreover, Wu Yi himself is also a general with great talents. Asking Wu Yi to guard Yangping Pass is enough to ensure the safety of Yangping Pass.
Secondly, Mi Yang's original intention to remove Wu Yi from military power was to better centralize power, not to eliminate dissidents.
Besides, on the high platform that day, Wu Yi had already openly taken sides, so he had no practical need to abandon Wu Yi.
As for whether Mi Yang would be worried that Wu Yi would take advantage of the opportunity to regain military power and threaten him, Mi Yang was not worried at all.
Because although most of the current Liang Army's grassroots soldiers are still the tens of thousands of people at the beginning, the middle-level generals have become his direct descendants.
In this case, Wu Yi could not use his army to cause disadvantage to Mi Yang.
After arranging for Wu Yi to lead the army to guard Yangping Pass, Mi Yang asked Wei Yan to lead the troops to station at the Ziwu Valley Pass to prevent Wei soldiers from making unexpected moves and sneaking into Ziwu Valley.
The Ziwu Valley Strange Conspiracy was very famous in later generations, and it also caused great controversy.
Later, many history enthusiasts went to the Ziwu Valley for on-the-spot investigation, and came to the conclusion that Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy simply would not work in the rugged area of the Ziwu Valley.
It is a fact that the road in Ziwu Valley is rugged and steep, but it is not entirely because of this fact that Zhuge Liang refuted Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley conspiracy in history.
The rugged and steep roads in the Han Dynasty did not mean that they were completely impassable for large armies.
Let's just say that during the Hanzhong War, Liu Bei moved to Qianli Mountain Road on Fazheng's suggestion and made a surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain.
To be honest, the environment faced by Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops at that time was not much better than that in Ziwu Valley.
Also in history, when Cao Zhen led the southern expedition, the main force of the Wei army also took the Ziwu Road, and this was decided by Cao Wei's courtiers through public discussion.
From these two examples, it can be seen that if a famous general directs it properly, a large army can pass through steep terrain, which of course includes Ziwu Road.
】
After all, Liu Bei, Fazheng, Cao Zhen, Cao Wei and other famous officials are not fools.
But if you want to move an army in dangerous terrain, one thing is crucial, and that is to have strong national power to support it.
Building a trestle when encountering mountains and building bridges when encountering water, what these eight short words represent is the consumption of countless money and food.
The Battle of Hanzhong lasted for more than a year, and what really depleted Yizhou's national power was Liu Bei's surprise attack on Dingjun Mountain.
This is why the saying "Men should fight, women should luck" came into being.
In history, Cao Zhen had the courage to march from Ziwu Valley simply because he had the entire national power of Cao Wei behind him.
Therefore, the key to Zhuge Liang's rejection of the Ziwu Valley conspiracy was that he did not mention whether Wei Yan could successfully get out of the Ziwu Valley, but said that simply attacking Chang'an would be useless if he brought few soldiers and siege equipment.
However, if he brought many people with him, Ji Han's national strength at that time did not allow it.
If Ji Han really had that kind of national power at that time, Zhuge Liang would have defeated him directly, so what else could he do?
The march through Ziwu Valley was a feasible method for Cao Wei, but for Ji Han, it was a castle in the air.
Precisely because he knew this, Mi Yang specially deployed defenses in Ziwu Valley.
The march through Ziwu Valley is not exclusive to Ji Han's attack. If Cao Zhen were to attack Hanzhong, it would be entirely possible for him to attack from Ziwu Valley.
Historically, the main reason why Cao Zhen failed was that he happened to encounter a continuous rainy season, which caused the already difficult Ziwu Valley road to completely collapse.
However, as a shepherd in Liangzhou, Mi Yang could not place the safety of Hanzhong on the vague and vague calculations of heaven and earth.
After arranging these two points to ensure that Hanzhong's external environment was worry-free, Mi Yang began to speed up discussions with his ministers on the specific implementation steps of the land equalization system.
Although the main crop of the Chinese nation at that time was millet, and millet was a great addition to the military in troubled times.
However, Liangzhou’s geographical conditions are not suitable for widespread cultivation of corn.
Because Liangzhou is close to Guanzhong and has its own geographical factors, the main crop in Liangzhou is winter wheat.
As the name suggests, winter wheat is a type of wheat sown in autumn and winter.
Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the planting date of winter wheat is coming soon.
Before that, Mi Yang must first implement the corresponding land improvement system.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without breaking, Mi Yang has been doing the breaking things for the first half month, and now it is time for him to do the standing things.
In Mi Yang's Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, there were hundreds of petty officials trotting in and out with documents in hand.
It can be seen from the anxious looks on their faces that the documents in their hands are crucial.
Such a busy scene has been happening every day in the past half month.
With the destruction of many local wealthy families, the three-chief system has begun to thrive in Liangzhou.
Under the careful investigation and sorting out by the three chiefs who were completely loyal to Mi Yang, a large number of people who had been sheltered and fertile land that had been appropriated began to be turned into documents and quickly sent to Mi Yang's state court.
Even because there are so many shelters, the number reported daily in a county is often updated in real time.
Even Lu Yi, who was well versed in government affairs, couldn't help but subconsciously sighed after seeing the shocking concealed data:
"In the old days, there were no three elders. Each family deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the inferiors. There were so many people that they cheated. In fact, ten or twenty families were just one household."
What Lu Yi meant was that if the population of Mianyang County in the past was only 10,000 in the overall report, then its actual population was between 100,000 and 200,000.
Of course, this is just taking Mianyang County as an example. It does not mean that Mianyang County alone really has a population of hundreds of thousands.
Lu Yi had thought in the past that the local wealthy families sheltered a large number of people, but he did not expect that they would be so bold and the number of shelters would reach such a crazy level.
Maybe future generations will not understand this point and think it is exaggerated, but this is a true portrayal of local politics in the Han Dynasty.
Just like the widely circulated detailed household registration statistics of the Three Kingdoms in history, it has caused open doubts by many scholars in later generations.
Because judging from all aspects, the three household registration statistics are like big sponges filled with water.
The biggest reason for this phenomenon is that in the Han Dynasty, local powerful people almost had no scruples in protecting the population, making the government's census inaccurate at all.
Due to the fast data update speed and the large population sheltered by local wealthy families in Liangzhou, Mi Yang and his ministers have been busy during this period of time.
Mi Yang has suffered from severe sleep deprivation in the past half month.
Because they were worried about Mi Yang's physical safety, Fa Miao and others also suggested that Mi Yang should take a good rest.
After all, as a pastor of Liangzhou, Mi Yang could only handle the general direction well and leave specific government affairs to his trusted subordinates.
Mi Yang is not unaware of this, and Mi Yang also knows that he does not have extraordinary talents in handling specific government affairs.
It's just that time waits for no one. Now that he has taken this step, at least at the beginning, there is no reason to leave the busy ministers to rest alone.
Mi Yang, who had dark circles in his eyes, looked at his confidants who had just gained some money. He first looked at Fa Miao and asked, "How are the specific details of the land equalization system drafted?"
The land equalization system that Mi Yang wanted to implement in Liangzhou was a land system from the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history.
The reason why Mi Yang wanted to implement equalization of land in the current world is because any system must conform to the political background and productivity of the current world.
Just like Mi Yang didn't know how to set up a military academy in Liangzhou, he also set up platoon leaders and squad leaders, and the separation of military and political affairs was a reform that was completely incomprehensible in the world.
One step forward is called reform, and ten steps forward is called rebirth. The stakes are completely different.
The land system of equalization of land not only proved its success in history, but the political background in which it was implemented was very similar to that of the contemporary world.
There are two key points in the background of the implementation of the equalization of land system. One is the displacement of people, and the other is the large number of fields that are deserted.
These two points are the biggest social problems that objectively exist in Liangzhou and even the world at present.
Just like Cao Wei's farming system, it was based on this social background that Cao Cao extended it to the entire north.
The Equal Land System recognizes that all land is state-owned.
On this basis, the government will start to allocate land to the people.
Of course, to achieve this, the government must clearly understand the population and the number of acres in each place.
That's why Mi Yang prepared to implement the equal land system in Liangzhou after implementing the three-chief system.
Reforms come step by step.
The specific content of the equalization system is not brief, but the most critical points are two points:
The first point is:
For all men over the age of 16 in Liangzhou, the state government will grant each of them 40 acres of open field for growing grains, and 20 acres for women. After they die of old age, illness, and death, they will all be returned to the government.
Each man was granted an additional 20 acres of mulberry land for growing mulberry, jujube, elm and other agricultural and sideline products.
As long as the corresponding amount of taxes is paid within three years, the mulberry field can be used as a family property field, which will not be returned for life and passed down from generation to generation. However, trading is strictly prohibited.
Of course, because in today's world, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and everyone's specific situation is different, so any system must know how to adapt to stimulate productivity.
Therefore, the land equalization system also stipulates that people who own slaves and cattle can obtain additional land, but correspondingly, the taxes paid by these people will be higher.
Mi Yang's move was aimed at the surviving local powerful.
Although under Mi Yang's three-chief system, local powerful people could not continue to shelter the population and appropriate fertile land.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so their economic strength is definitely better than that of ordinary people.
In this case, of course, their subjective initiative must be fully stimulated, which will also be beneficial to the country's overall income.
Besides, this is also a way for Mi Yang to appease them.
Blind pressure will only be counterproductive in the end. A big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other are the best means to subdue the local wealthy families.
Originally, this point did not exist in the historical equalization of land. This point was specially added by Mi Yang, a time traveler.
He acknowledges the current gap between rich and poor, and then uses flexible reforms to prevent this gap from evolving into social conflicts. This is a dynamic reform mechanism.
As for the second key point in the equalization system, it is:
All acres of land granted by the government were distributed based on the actual population, and slaves were not included in the scope of the land grant.
This can prevent local tyrants from indirectly acquiring more fertile land through the accumulation of slaves.
And if you want to enjoy more fertile land, that's not impossible.
As long as you can make great contributions to the country and obtain the corresponding title, you can increase the corresponding number of fields.
This is because the basic land system of the Han Dynasty was originally the famous land system.
Corresponding titles and corresponding acres were obtained. This was not only the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but also the necessary guarantee for a dynasty to maintain prosperity.
If they are all egalitarian, then the future development of Liangzhou will definitely become a stagnant water, which is something Mi Yang does not want to see.
Of course, the content of the land equalization system is more than that. As a systematic land system, its content is very complicated.
However, these two points are improvements made by Mi Yang himself, so Mi Yang attaches great importance to whether these two points can be truly implemented.
Faced with Mi Yang's inquiry, Fa Miao knew what Mi Yang was really asking about about the land equalization system, so he reported to Mi Yang:
"I have discussed all the contents with other ministers, and have drafted a detailed set of rules, which the shepherd can read at any time."
Seeing what Fa Miao said, a satisfied smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
This is the advantage of using confidants. Even if he didn't ask clearly, Fa Miao could grasp the key point of his inquiry.
Everything has been discussed, and the two points that Mi Yang improved are naturally among them.
Since Fa Miao, Lu Yi and other politicians believe that these two points can be implemented, the last trace of worry in Mi Yang's heart has disappeared. If you like Mi Han, please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han Search Novel Network Update Speed
