Outside Pingyang City, spring is coming. After the war, this piece of land finally has time to rest. There are not enough scribes to measure and make statistics on the land, so Fei Qian can only rely on soldiers in the army.
Conduct statistics on fields around Binh Duong.
If you don't know the number and can't count, you can use the word "zheng" carved on the wooden board instead. If you don't know the length and don't know how to measure, you can use ropes and wooden sticks fixed at right angles instead...
Anyway, use a wooden stick to fix a 90-degree right angle, and then pull the rope of a fixed length along the extension line of the wooden stick until it reaches the end. Then you can nail the wooden stakes along the rope, and then use the right-angled wooden stick to determine the length.
On the other side, pull the string again until a rough square is drawn.
Of course, there are many differences in this measurement method, but the advantage is that it is simple and easy to operate, and even ordinary soldiers can do it.
Fei Qian leaned over and grabbed a piece of soil and squeezed it. Because there had been no farming for a long time, the old cultivated land on the outskirts of Pingyang County had lost some of its stickiness and was loose.
These lands need to be deeply plowed and the soil underneath can be turned up before some crops can be planted. Moreover, in the early stage, the field power should not be too much depleted, and the yields will not be very high. After two or three years of careful maintenance, the land here will
Only then will farming return to normal.
Jia Qu came out of the city and came to Fei Qian. After seeing the ceremony, he handed over a piece of silk from his sleeve with words written on it.
Fei Qian unfolded it and took a deep breath. The Hedong Wei family's properties in this area were densely written on the silk cloth...
A quarter of the shops in Anyi County belong to the Wei family...
Linfen County occupies more than half...
There are also Pishi County and other counties...
The industries involved include daily necessities such as rice, cloth, and salt, as well as other industries such as photo shops and restaurants, and even papermaking, carving, casting, breeding, and other related industries.
It can be said that Hedong Wei's tentacles involve all aspects of people's livelihood.
In addition to these street stores within the city, the most important area is the land and Wubao. In this area of Hedong Wei, there are six Wubao villages of different sizes. The largest one has more than a thousand people.
Some small ones have hundreds of people, and they use this to control the surrounding land farmers...
Fei Qian couldn't help but clicked his tongue. If Jia Qu hadn't been a member of the Hedong gentry, how would he know so much?
I think back when I was in Xiangyang, the Huang family, including the Huang family hermitage, only had four village castles, and they were far apart, and the scale was not as large as that of the Wei family.
Land...
Fei Qian turned his attention to the open land in Pingyang. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty was declining now, and he couldn't care about some things. He wanted to occupy the land of the old city of Pingyang here. This would definitely be destroyed if the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was strong.
Even though the Marquis of Pingyang has disappeared, it is natural that the ownership of these lands belongs to the emperor.
Without the emperor's permission, he cultivated and planted land without authorization, haha...
But now, one is that this land has been plundered by the barbarians and has been abandoned; second, does the Han Dynasty still have the mind to care about such trivial matters?
The most important thing is that we need this land, otherwise how can we farm? How can we get food and grass?
Fei Qian planned to kill Bai Bo, who was captured this time, and spared the small ones, so he wanted to keep them. The situation was different from one moment to the next, so the strategy he adopted would naturally be different.
Regarding the land system, Fei Qian really can't think of any better way.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the well-field system was adopted. "Open the soil for the purpose" and the well-fields belonged to the king of Zhou. The king of Zhou granted land to the princes and officials according to their titles. The recipients only had the right to use the well-fields and had no private rights.
It cannot be transferred or bought or sold, and "there is no business in the fields."
Because there was no trade and only enfeoffment, ancient nobility and slave farming were born.
Then "rituals and music collapsed", and the princes became stronger and stronger. Comrade Zhou was no longer interested, and began to seize all these fields, armed himself, and began to use war to seize the land of other princes. The Warring States Period began.
.
Why did everyone in the Qin Dynasty feel happy when they heard about meritorious deeds and became extremely aggressive? Because the Qin Dynasty later stipulated that land could be obtained by virtue of military merit, and this land was owned by individuals and could be bought, sold and inherited. From this, it is natural to imagine that the people of the Qin Dynasty broke out.
How much enthusiasm contributed to Qin's war actions.
During the Han Dynasty, and now, in principle, land is owned by the state and is called "public land", which is "leased" by the emperor to farmers for cultivation. However, in fact, these lands are concentrated in the hands of large rural landowners, leading to thousands of years of disputes about land ownership.
Land fight.
This model produced three classes: the upper class royal family, the middle class landlords, and the lower class farmers.
Then there is the contradiction between the private ownership of land by feudal aristocrats and farmers. There is also the contradiction between whether land movement is led by the government or individuals. At the same time, there is also the contradiction between population growth and land concentration. The contradiction between these three is actually the most fundamental.
The problem lies in taxation, that is, the contradiction in land output.
Regarding this mutual contradiction, Fei Qian really has nothing to do.
The butt determines the head. Now that Fei Qian is in the primary stage of feudal lord, he naturally hopes that the interests will be tilted here. As for the future, this...
No one can tell clearly.
Anyway, if you want to reclaim the land of the big landlords, it is equivalent to cutting the flesh from these feudal lords, that is, the nobles!
Hey hey hey...
Now it looks like Hedong Wei’s meat is quite fat!
However, this must be done in a certain degree. It can only be targeted at individuals and cannot be killed with one shot, otherwise...
Fei Qian doesn't want to end up like Wang Mang yet.
He is more or less a latecomer. Fei Qian still understands the tricks of nationalization after deprivation. This regulation was produced under specific conditions and is not a panacea...
Moreover, the local governments in later generations competed with the central government for financial interests...ahem...
It can't be used now anyway.
Therefore, it can only be privately owned, or semi-collectivized.
Of course, the land still belongs to the Han family on the surface, but in fact it can only belong to Fei Qian's small group. This is the most suitable method for the current situation.
However, there will be some subsequent conflicts and problems in the future. However, now we can only take it one step at a time. There is really no way to put all the policies in place at once...
These things involve too much, and I really get a headache just thinking about it...
Fei Qian sighed slightly, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Looking up, he saw a scout riding in the distance to the east of Pingyang City. When he got close, he swung his saddle and dismounted, and reported: "The King of Hedong
The envoy and his guards have arrived twenty miles east of the city..."
I'm worried that I don't have a sword. This Wang Yi is so nice!
In the decline of ancient dynasties, land played an important factor, but it was not the absolute factor...
In the final analysis, it is when a very small number of people control the vast majority of wealth, and social security cannot afford the most basic living security for the most basic people...
This is true for any slavery system or feudal system.
When you are so poor that you only have one life left, what else can you not dare to do?
Therefore, the whole world is trying its best to maintain growth and maintain the middle class...
