The root of the refugee problem is the problem of land annexation. Land annexation is the root of feudal dynasties or agricultural society.

If you want to solve this problem, it cannot be solved with just one method.

Because this issue involves the root of the current social system.

"The root?" Jia Dan looked at Wei Renshi with some surprise and asked, "I wonder if the Wei County man can explain in detail?"

The other people also looked at each other. Du You was the most familiar with Wei Renshi, so he said: "This issue of refugees has been a big problem in all dynasties. Since the Wei County man mentioned its root cause, it can be seen that he has thought about this matter. What Wei County man thought of has always been able to find a unique way, but he doesn't know what Wei County man has to think about?"

"This..." Wei Ren actually showed a little embarrassed look on his face, and turned to look at Li Shi.

Li Shi smiled and said, "The disadvantages of refugees have been around for a long time, and I also want to hear what Wei Qing has unique insights. But it doesn't matter."

"This... is! I obey the order." Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will say something boldly. But I am young and cannot help but have little thoughts. If what I said is wrong, please forgive me."

After saying that, Wei Renshi said seriously: "Your Majesty, no matter how big a country's territory is, it will be limited. But the population will become more and more numerous as the society develops. With the population, it needs to be cultivated and lived, and whether it is cultivated or lived, it requires land. In this way, as the population increases, everyone can occupy less and less land. Under the current system, land is the basis for everyone to survive. People rely too much on land. People have land in their hands, so they can cultivate, get food, build houses, and get a residence. The so-called "living" means you must first have a residence, and then

Only by being happy to work. But if the population is getting more and more, people will inevitably not get their own land. The more people lose their own land, the more likely they will be to be in chaos in the country. Because without land, people will not be able to survive. Their food needs to be obtained from the land, their residence needs to be obtained from the land, and their taxes need to be obtained from the land... But without land, all this is gone. So people will feel unfair, and this injustice accumulates more and more. When all the people in this country begin to have such injustice, they only need a spark to become a prairie fire immediately!"

When Li Shi heard this, he frowned and said, "But the population is born and destroyed, and my Tang Dynasty is over 10,000 miles away. Can't this land still support the people?"

Wei Renshi shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have noticed that the possession of land is unfair. This is the root cause of the people without land. An official can have hundreds of hectares of land, a wealthy businessman can have hundreds of hectares of land, while some farmers don't even have an inch of land. Just now, the ministers have said that under the current self-sufficient economic system, land represents everything. Therefore, those who are capable will naturally expand the land they occupy. The land is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few large landlords and bureaucrats, while farmers lose land more and more, and even have no land at all. In order to own more land, those people will use various means, especially in the disaster year, when the landlords robbed the farmers who own the land and their property and become tenants. This is land annexation."

"The serious land annexation has led to the concentrated land of a few people, while a large number of people have lost their land. And everything of the people depends on the land. In this way, it will inevitably lead to the outbreak of peasant wars, and the world will fall into disputes again. The change of dynasties is nothing more than this!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Zheng Xunyu said: "In this way, there are two root causes: one is the annexation of land, and the other is that the people rely too much on land, so that they have no way to survive after leaving the land."

Wei Renshi nodded: "No, that's exactly what it is!"

"I don't dare to agree." Jia Dan shook his head and said, "The land is the foundation of the people, and the people should rely on the fields to live and work in peace and contentment."

Wei Renshi said: "What Mr. Wei said is naturally not bad, but the officials said that the people are too dependent on land, so that once they lose their land due to accidents, they will have no way to live. If the people have other ways of survival that they can rely on, even if they lose their land accidentally, they will not have a way to live. As for the farmers who took down the official fief, even if they do not have the land now, they will not become refugees, because they still have ways to maintain their lives."

Wei Renshi looked at Li Shi and saw that he was squinting his eyes and just listening, as if he was happy to see everyone discussing with Wei Renshi.

Just as Wei Renshi looked at Li Shi's reaction quietly, he heard Gao Ying suddenly ask: "As the man in Wei County said, there are two roots of this problem, so how can we solve these two roots?"

Wei Renshi subconsciously replied: "First, as long as the people still regard land as the foundation, land annexation phenomenon will be inevitable and always exist, which is an unsolvable problem. Only by expanding the territory and allowing the Tang Dynasty to own more land to delay the deterioration of land annexation phenomenon. Second, try to change this self-sufficient small peasant economic model that relies heavily on land. This is the fundamental way to eliminate land annexation phenomenon."

Wei Renshi had just spoken, but after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.

It’s simple to say in two sentences, but it’s so difficult to achieve.

Everyone was surprised when they heard Wei Renshi's words.

After a while, Du You shook his head and smiled, "What Wei County man said... is reasonable every sentence of analysis. It's just easy to say, but it's so difficult to do."

Seeing him and everyone's expressions, it was obvious that Wei Renshi's words were regarded as a passionate and crazy speech under the boy's heart.

Wei Renshi did not argue. It was really difficult to achieve these two points. It was not only difficult for the rulers to make decisions or make decisions. It was even more difficult for the vested interests, the feudal landlords, and the land was the basis for them to become the ruling class. They would never allow anyone to shake this foundation. For this reason, they would never be stingy with changing dynasties and maintain a ruling system that could represent the interests of this class.

To change this problem, it would be a revolution. Now, the Tang Dynasty is too early to that revolution. The status of the bourgeoisie has not been formed, and there is no way to talk about its strength. If it weren't for everyone asking this point today, Wei Renshi wouldn't have thrown out this issue so early.

But it’s good that with Wei Renshi’s interference, this step may be destined.
