Zhu Lingshi was so shocked that he opened his mouth so wide that he could almost swallow a big bowl: "This, this is okay?"
Zhuge Changmin came to his senses: "Didn't the Jin Dynasty prohibit land annexation and trading? Brother Jinu, you can't take the lead in violating this national law, otherwise your reputation..."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Yes, the Jin Dynasty does prohibit the sale and purchase of land, and can only distribute land according to titles and military merits, but the regulations are dead and people are alive. If you want to say that everything should be done according to national laws, then I would like to ask Jiangnan How come the eight counties of Wudi have become the manors and fields of aristocratic families and natives of Wudi. How many high-ranking titles are needed to occupy a manor that can range from hundreds to thousands of hectares?"
Having said this, he looked at Shen Tianzi: "Tianzi, Yunzi, Linzi, the villages owned by your Shen family in Wuxing, they have a total of 1,300 hectares of land. I dare to ask some of you, including those of your fathers and grandfathers." Is the title enough to occupy these lands?"
Shen Yunzi curled up his lips in embarrassment: "This, this is indeed far from enough, but it is a problem left over from the founding of the People's Republic of China. Our Wuxing Shen family has had these manors for generations since the Soochow period. Emperor Yuan traveled south Later, these land deeds were recognized and retained as a reward for our Shen family's support of the Sima family and their loyalty to the country. Although Shen Chong rebelled during the process, they only took over the land from his family and did not touch other families' land."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. In fact, most of the land in Wudi was distributed to aristocratic families and local tycoons in violation of national laws. In name, these lands were distributed to their bankers. But in fact, the state cannot directly collect taxes from these bankers, and these bankers pay taxes and rent farm tools from these families, not from the state. Over time, this has become a common practice. From a legal perspective, The imperial land deeds left by the Yuan Emperor when he founded the country are proof that the state allowed these lands to be privately owned by these aristocratic families and local tycoons."
Shen Linzi said quickly: "Yes, our family also has the land deed given by Emperor Yuan when he founded the country. Otherwise, these lands would have been taken away by others."
Zhuge Changmin nodded: "This is indeed the case in Wu or Jingzhou, but that was left over from the founding of the country. This Qingzhou is different. This is a newly expanded land, and it must abide by national laws. Logically speaking, fighting The place that comes down is owned by the imperial court, including the land. It cannot be said to be a private sale."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is easy to handle. The imperial court allocates land, and it doesn't mean giving it to everyone when it meets. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, land is allocated based on nobility, and those with meritorious service are given priority. This is our current national law, isn't it? .”
Zhuge Changmin smiled and said: "Yes, you have established this rule yourself, and you cannot take the lead in violating it. Those aristocratic families have already used their titles on land in Wu and Jiangbei. How can they come to Qingzhou to grab land again? ?”
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "This title is not regulated by the imperial court. You can buy a civilian title that is not hereditary and will be exterminated upon death. The so-called "grabbing" has been a thing for a long time."
Zhuge Changmin slapped his thigh suddenly: "Ah, how could I forget this? It means that as long as a wealthy family is willing to pay money and provide food, they can exchange these virtual titles from the court?"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Xie Xianggong did this during the Battle of Feishui. He issued a virtual title to obtain food donations from major families, and then formed our Beifu Army. This
Although we no longer need to recruit their food and grass when we organize an army to go on an expedition, because many children of aristocratic families, such as Yu who joined the army, also went with the army, but after the war, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sit still and want to receive rewards after the war.
Spend some money and get a share of the post-war profits."
Zhu Lingshi said dissatisfiedly: "Why should we let them take advantage of this? Why should we give the land we fought bloody battles to those wealthy families like this? This is unfair!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Ling Shi, if you want to settle here in the future, move your family here, and the court will allocate you corresponding land according to your title, are you willing?"
Zhu Lingshi opened his mouth, but shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. The basic industry of my Zhu family is now in Jiankang. If I want to come here, I will definitely not be willing to do it. Of course, if I am an official here, I will not do it."
When a general leads his troops to garrison, he can only obey the arrangements of the imperial court, but it is unlikely that my family will live here forever, let alone use it as a long-term foundation."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. Everyone's home is in the south, not here. I'm afraid that after the war, most people will return to their hometowns, except for a few brothers who are single and want to take root in Qingzhou for a long time.
Besides, I’m afraid there aren’t many people who want to stay, so since we don’t occupy the land here, why not let the wealthy families who provide money and food as rewards for the brothers come here to occupy land and buy properties?”
Tan Shao frowned: "Isn't this Qingzhou land going to be distributed to the local Han people? Or it will be taken back to the country and distributed to the refugees who have no land elsewhere, like the overseas Chinese whose ancestral home is in Qingzhou."
People can return here, so why do they want to sell this land to the aristocratic families in Jiangnan?"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "Everyone, you are all senior generals. In the future, you will gradually become the guards of one party. For example, like A Cui, who is already the governor of a state, in a few years, you will probably also become the governor of a state.
Everyone will reach such a position. Mu Zhi, do you think this Qilu land can be safely left to the management of the Han family, the Gao family, and the Feng family? The Pilu family who was the first to surrender this time can
Governance?”
Yang Muzhi frowned and shook his head: "No, if they are given the power to manage Qingzhou, it will be the same as before. These local big families only consider family interests and have no loyalty to the country. Who can do that?
Who do you rely on? Even if the Jin Dynasty establishes a political power here, it will give them a way out and cannot control the grassroots here. Our Taiyang family has lived in the land of Qilu for hundreds of years and is well aware of what these local tycoons are doing. If we want to
For the Qilu land to truly become the territory of the Jin Dynasty, a large number of southern people must be allocated land here. It is best to leave thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and their families to take root here. Only in this way can it truly be achieved.
This is the order of the earth."
Liu Yu laughed: "But didn't everyone just say that the family property is in the south, and they will go home after the war and refuse to stay here, then Mu Zhi, if you want to do what you just said, you have to
what to do?"
Yang Muzhi curled up his lips: "Only if we take out the land allocated by the country after the war, especially the large areas of land and pasture left by the Xianbei people after they moved away, and distribute it to Han immigrants who are willing to come to Qingzhou, then we can organize it.
A large number of such immigrants have come to Qingzhou to take root. I am afraid that only high-ranking families have this power."
