Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is an idea. However, even if the rebels are eliminated, there are only more than 100,000 people. Counting their families, you can get at most 200,000 people to move to the six counties of Jiangbei. Local development
The manpower required is more than this."
Liu Yu said calmly: "There are already two to three hundred thousand people in Jiangbei, and after Nanyan is destroyed, many Han refugees in Qilu will go south and enter the relatively safer Jiangbei. In this way,
There can be millions of people in Jiangbei, enough for development and farming. If these people do not divide the land for the time being, but can keep one-third to 40% of their farming income in the form of tax-free tax, I believe they will be happy with it.
, We have calculated before that if we work at this ratio for more than ten years, we will be enough to buy a large land and house anywhere."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "So, for the time being, the manpower in Jiangbei can be used by these people who do not need to be divided into land. But in the future, after these people accumulate wealth and family business, the land will be divided according to titles by the aristocratic families there.
The time has almost come, should we let them cultivate their own land and property at this time?"
Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin: "Do you think this is appropriate? In the short term and medium term, the land in Jiangbei will still be owned by the noble families. After a few decades, when the title expires and can no longer be retained, part of the land will inevitably have to be recovered.
, Of course, if the children of the aristocratic family are successful enough in these years and can earn a high enough title, they can retain the existing land and estates, but that is the efforts of the children and grandchildren themselves."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "It doesn't matter, Brother Yu, let me say it again, I am on your side, but the interests of the high-ranking family and the overall system of the family and the world, I need to safeguard, the power of the central government, according to the
This ensures that the direct descendants of the aristocratic family can still have rights. However, those manors in the countryside and rural areas are mostly tributaries, and the concubines inherit them. We cannot control these people for generations, so we can give them a manor.
They have done their best to support themselves, and as for their sons and grandsons, we have nothing to do with them. The current merit system actually has the greatest impact and influence on them."
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin paused and looked at Liu Yu: "What Mu Zhi said just now is right. You may think that there is no change between now and before. The children of aristocratic families still occupy a large amount of land and manor, but you don't know
The thing is, no one dared to ask about the legality of these manor properties before. Ever since you revealed the true face of Qinglong Xichao on the stage and made it public to the world that the mafia controlled the land deeds to blackmail the world's famous families.
, Sun En's Rebellion has added fuel to the fire. In fact, now the children of the aristocratic family, especially the tributary concubines, can no longer occupy a certain manor forever as they did in the past."
Liu Yu frowned: "But isn't the manor in Wu Di still mostly controlled by aristocratic families?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "That's because the sons and tributaries of the aristocratic families who were killed in the Sun En Rebellion, because they sacrificed their lives for the country, can temporarily let their children and grandchildren inherit the title of the next generation, and the land allocated by these titles, but
In today's world of meritorious officials, these titles are exterminated upon death. They are not hereditary and replaceable like in the past. Therefore, it may take ten or eight years at the earliest, or twenty or thirty years at the slowest time. After these people die, if their sons and nephews
If you don't make new achievements, you won't get a new title. The original title cannot be retained. Without the title, this land will be taken back to the country."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder so many people came here to get military merit this time. It turned out to be to protect the family business. Then we should be more ruthless in this regard and get more military merit. This can speed up the return of the country's land."
Common people.”
Wang Miaoyin curled up her lips: "Actually, brother Yu, you don't know. These tributaries, concubines, and relatives who have been out of the fifth service for a long time are also a big headache for us as the head of the family. They will not bring any benefits to the head of the family.
, they will not pay taxes to us, but they will use our names to occupy fields and enclose land below. Whenever there is a war, we have to pay taxes for the country, and we have to rack our brains to collect military rations from these people.
"
"For example, this time, if we don't provide them with the conditions to protect their title and land with military merit, it will be difficult to expropriate food and grass from them."
"Sometimes, in the name of ancestor worship, we have to circle them in front of the ancestral tablets, give them repeated orders of loyalty and filial piety, let them express their stance in person, and even leave their descendants as hostages, in order to make them obey orders. You don't want to
We don’t think we can get any benefits from these distant relatives whose relationship has long been estranged and whom we can’t reach with eight sticks.”
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and looked directly into Liu Yu's eyes: "Actually, the same is true for you. Although Liu Daolian is stupid and greedy, you really want to ask him for his family property for the Northern Expedition.
, he should still be willing to take part of it. But if it is his son, his grandson, his great-grandson, your descendants will still be willing to ask these distant cousins to pay grain and serve the country in the name of the Northern Expedition.
Is this relationship the same as what I mean by virtue? The aristocratic families are still able to at least partially recycle these grains, grass, and manpower, but if it were civilians, they might not be able to restrain their distant relatives in two generations."
Liu Yu nodded: "According to the current system of merit and nobility, no merit will be rewarded, and the title will not last long. Gradually, these people will not be able to maintain their wealth forever by relying on their connections. You aristocratic families only need to protect your own main lineage."
That’s fine, you have to slowly learn to let go of these side branches.”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "I, the Jin Dynasty, govern the world with filial piety. If you do not take care of your relatives within the five realms, others will not praise you for being dedicated to the country and being selfless. They will only say that you are ruthless and unrighteous, and do not recognize your relatives. So.
Even if they win a title, aristocratic families often have to protect their brothers and nephews first, rather than their sons, because their sons will always seize the title, while nephews do not have this treatment."
"However, as long as the scale of the war is large enough and there are more people sharing the military merits, then more and more newcomers will be crowned, and the power of the world will slowly be divided into the hands of more people, not just
Nowadays, these aristocratic families are from high-ranking families.”
"Jinnu, today's high-ranking families actually just want to protect their direct descendants. At most, they are within the fifth server. After the fifth server, they are actually not much different from outsiders. Some of their statements are just for people.
From what these distant relatives outside the five servers can see, as long as you are clear about this and formulate policies accordingly, you can achieve the goals you want."
