"Tian Zhi?"

Qin Luoheng's eyes showed a strange color.

During this time, he had studied some "Tian Laws" and had some understanding of the land system of Da Qin.

Completely contrary to what later generations said.

Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin Dynasty has been implementing state ownership and has never implemented private ownership. At least until now, state ownership is still implemented.

It's not because he wasn't serious in class.

But fact.

After looking through all the land laws in Da Qin, I can hardly find any laws related to land sales, nor are there any cases related to land sales.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

During the Qin Dynasty, Great Qin promoted farming warfare.

In addition to farming, there is also fighting.

Once you are knighted, you will be rewarded with land when you are knighted.

After hundreds of years of war, every household in the Qin Dynasty was able to obtain a large amount of land evenly. The Qin law protected private property, which also meant that after the land was rewarded, it belonged to private individuals forever, but the reality was not like this.

According to the law, land that has been given as a reward can be taken back.

This is completely contrary to private ownership.

Before unifying the world, the Qin State fought countless battles, large and small, in the past two to three hundred years. With the territory and cultivated land of the Qin State at that time, and under private ownership, it was impossible to provide so many fields and houses as rewards.

But Qin never broke its promise.

why?

Because the land is publicly owned.

The Qin warriors were rewarded with fields and houses because of their knighthood, but when he died, these fields and houses were actually returned to the hands of the court.

If it is true that people in the Qin State die like a lamp going out.

Not necessarily.

The exclusive rights of these fields and houses were returned to the court, but as long as the descendants of this warrior did not break the law and did not waste the fields, they could still continue to cultivate the fields, and the court would not forcefully ask for the fields back.

But the fields and houses were nameless, and no one knew whether these fields would be awarded to other people by the government. Therefore, in order to keep these fields and houses, future generations could only fight bravely to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service on the battlefield.

This is also one of the reasons why the Qin army is so powerful.

The chief official of Qin suddenly asked himself the "land system" of the Qin Dynasty. Obviously, he was not testing himself about what kind of land system the Qin Dynasty implemented, nor was he asking whether the land system of the Qin Dynasty was good or bad.

Rather, I want to ask myself what I think of the existing land system.

Someone in the court wants to disturb the land system!

Think of this.

Qin Luoheng's eyes were serious.

If he remembers correctly, it was this year, 216 BC, that the Qin Dynasty implemented the policy of "making the capital of Guizhou return to the fields".

This policy was originally intended to reduce the burden on Guizhou, but it inadvertently intensified land annexation.

Start with this policy.

Da Qin began to take a turn for the worse, going from a good start to a shocking and terrifying landslide, and it got out of hand until the building collapsed.

Qin Luoheng said in a deep voice:

"May I ask the officials, is it the court that wants to change the land system?"

Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched and he said calmly: "There are indeed people in the court who are instigating, but the First Emperor has no intention of changing his mind for the time being. Tell us what you think about the Qin land system."

Qin Luoheng hesitated and said:

"I don't know much about the Qintian land system."

"The Qin Dynasty was able to stand out in the era of great strife and successfully unify the world. It was actually far superior to the six countries in many aspects. In my opinion, the land system is one of them."

“The land system in Da Qin is public ownership!”

Finished.

Qin Luoheng paused deliberately. He took a peek at Qin's official expression, but Qin's official didn't have any strange expression. He knew immediately that he had guessed correctly. Da Qin was indeed a public ownership system.

He continued:

"If we want to change the land system, there is only one way to change it."

“Turning public affairs into private affairs!”

"But in my opinion, this is undoubtedly self-destructive."

“The great Qin Dynasty’s prosperity stems from the military merit system.”

"The military merit title system is to clarify the superiority and inferiority through the title level."

"For most Guizhou leaders, they cannot be promoted to the fifth official at all, so the land and residence are the foundation of the military merit and title system. Once the land system of Da Qin changes, the military merit and title system will undoubtedly become a burden."

"The system that Da Qinhua established over hundreds of years collapsed immediately."

Ying Zheng said indifferently:

"Now that the world is at peace, the military merit system is no longer appropriate."

"As you said before."

"Is it right to remain unchanged?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

said:

"The military merit system is indeed becoming less and less applicable, but abandonment and elimination have completely different meanings. Changing the land system is undoubtedly the abandonment of the military merit system."

"The military merit system can only be eliminated, but it cannot be abandoned directly."

"Abandonment means betrayal!"

"Can the officials dare to imagine that the old Qin people who have adhered to the military merit system for hundreds of years were suddenly informed by the government that the military merit system had been abandoned by the court? What they had persisted in pursuing all their lives, and even believed in, was just like this.

give up."

"This is too heavy a blow to the old Qin people!"

Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly.

He said calmly:

"What if we only change the land system but don't leave the military merit system?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:

"The land system affects the whole body."

"The military merit and title system is based on the land system. The reason why the warriors of the Qin Dynasty are rich in martial virtue is because they can obtain titles and land and houses by fighting in wars."

"Once the land system is changed, the court will definitely not be able to continue to reward the fields, because the land in the world is limited, and rewards will eventually be exhausted, and the court can only change the rewards."

"but......"

"What in the world can be as good as the field?"

"No!"

"Guizhou leaders have been farming for generations, they only care about the fields!"

"As a result, the rewards for working hard are far less than before. This will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm of Qian Shou for combat and will also cause the Qin army's combat effectiveness to continue to decline."

"When the Qin army's combat effectiveness is not enough to deter the world..."

"The Qin Dynasty will be in chaos!"

Hear the words.

A strange look appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.

He didn't expect that Qin Luoheng could see so far.

He had doubts about the changes to the land system proposed by the courtiers. It was based on this, but Qin Luoheng was different. He knew nothing about the big politics, and he said these unquestionable words based only on his understanding of the land system.

, which is really surprising.

He couldn't help but glance at Qin Luoheng.

Ying Zheng asked:

"Then the land system really cannot be changed?"

He said firmly:

"cannot."
