Xiaosi frowned tightly, "The landlord lives in the countryside, in a town, or in a certain village... Although he has a direct interest relationship with the tenant farmers, their combined land is only a small amount."
Tongtong laughed, and Xiaosi's brain could keep up. She said, "Early on, the land in the world was mainly concentrated in the hands of three groups of people. One, the aristocratic families; the second, the officials, gentry, powerful and wealthy businessmen; the third,
Large and small landowners. At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos, the Chen Dynasty was first established, and there was Juntian. But because of the situation at that time, it was not touched by the family. It was just part of the land owned by the officials and gentry and large and small landowners, as well as the land that was abandoned due to wars and disasters.
The land was transferred to Juntian. Two years ago, the family was wiped out, and where did the land in the hands of the family go? At that time, the court was in urgent need of money and food, so the land was divided up by officials, gentry, powerful men, and wealthy businessmen. In other words, interests
The most affected people may be this group of people. Among this group of people, the wealthy merchants are the weakest, but they connect goods from north to south and balance supplies. Although they aim to make profits, their role is immeasurable. Taizu always believed that scholars
Agriculture, industry and commerce are indispensable. They are all citizens of the world, and no one should be treated lightly. Therefore, seizing people's wealth is never the best policy. That is to say, the court must adopt policies that benefit business to compensate for this part of the shortfall. How to make use of it?
Shang…this is a matter for the court to consider.”
Well! As long as businessmen can make a profit, they will not be obsessed with land. They have so many fields, but fields have never been their main source of income.
"And what about the big and small landlords? You can tell by doing the math. In fact, the proportion that the landlords get is more than what they get after collecting rent and then paying taxes. But there is a problem here, that is, farming
The suspects are suspected of concealing the information. As time goes by, the food in their hands becomes less and less. Therefore, this requires the court and each province to come up with a standard amount. It is reasonable to hover above or below this amount.
On the contrary, there must be something wrong. There is nothing to talk about, just check it out. In addition, the landowner can leave enough self-cultivated land according to the population and the amount of twenty acres of land per capita. The self-cultivated land... is tax-free!"
It means: Plant your own land and test it yourself! Don’t you already know this in your mind?
The landowners have oxen, mules, and plows, with an average of twenty acres per person. They have to work hard to get by. If you can't work enough, why not hire day laborers?
Don’t really rest anyway!
Princess Shengrong grabbed her sleeves with her hands. If she did this, the small landowners might not be able to rest any longer! They were afraid of being deceived about their output, so they had to work harder to cultivate the land, so as not to suffer losses.
As for the big landowners, the composition of the big landowners has always been complicated. There may not be officials in the family, and there may not be no business. If they suffer a loss, it will be a big loss!
Zhao Defeng asked: "What should we do about this part?" "It's easy to handle!" Tongtong said, "Uncle Huang often feels that he can't go to various places to see what kind of life the people in the world are living. Then invite them to come.
!”
Come?!
"After the imperial court makes statistics, it will draw a line. For example... I mean, for example, in the Gyeonggi area, those who own tens of thousands of acres of land will be classified as large landowners. Then the government will have to come up with a list. Every year, each county
There must be a representative of a big landowner in the capital. Let’s all go and meet him! They can all make excuses and make troubles. Whether they are from this county, another county, or another province, as long as they make a report, the court will
Just check. There are so many censors in the censorship station? What's the big deal for the censors to keep an eye on whether the prince has a concubine? There are so many major events in the world, and I'm afraid they won't be able to keep an eye on them." Understand! You may suffer financially, but what?
, gave these people an incredible political right.
Tongtong added, "Of course, in order to prevent these people from becoming big, these big landowners take turns. Depending on the situation, if there is only one landowner with a thousand acres of land in a county, then the standard will be lowered to at least five.
.”
That means you can go there once every five years.
Xiao Wu understood, "If this is the case, the land in the hands of the landlord is not stillborn! If you want to exchange it for money, you can definitely sell it."
Smart! That's it. Some people are afraid that the representatives in the county will not be taken seriously, and they want to expand their influence, so they buy more land. And some people are afraid that they will not be promoted to the provincial capital, but if they are transferred to the county, it is
Isn’t it possible to get there anyway?
This land instantly became a tradable hard currency!
With such a circulation, it would be difficult for anyone to cause great harm. Moreover, these people are also supervising the officials and watching every move of the lowest level. With this, it really feels like there is nothing in the world that the court does not know?!
Giving each group a channel to react upward is really the way to go: in addition to lowering the royal family's aloof attitude and cheating the gentry, the most ordinary people in the world have benefited.
In the past, the gentry had the right to speak, but now? The Holy One can hear whoever speaks.
This move - it's simply too damaging!
Liu Siniang couldn't help but sigh: "If you touch the gentry... I'm afraid the court officials will not be happy." Tongtong said, "Most of the gentry's families are big landowners. There is a lot of overlap! However, officials can resolve issues with their families.
Just tie him up! If he becomes his official, his family may become a big landowner, but this does not harm the interests of his family."
But this harmed their interests in the family.
Tongtong laughed, then the court had nothing to do with it, "Officials, they have the treatment of officials. It is a guarantee of harvest due to drought and flood. If you can do it, then do it! If you can't do it, you can retire and go back to become a big landowner.
!”
Zhao Defeng: Do you want to lose it? Unless you are an only son, it is okay to go back like this. But the situation of an only son is a minority after all. Now that you are an official, why not leave a way for your brothers? For the sake of the family, you should not be willful! So
, these officials cannot go back. What else can they do besides working for the court? Besides, is the court afraid of someone who will give up their job? There are so many capable officials among the officials, and they will be promoted in the blink of an eye.
She sighed: "If we keep going like this, the imperial examination will gradually decline." Because there is more than one way to go up, but this is the most difficult way to go. Twenty years later, I am afraid that those who stand above the imperial court will
, more than half of them are officials from academies. These people have received the same teachings, so they can coordinate easily.
After saying that, she laughed! Such changes are full of opportunities, but they are not opportunities for the Princess's Mansion.
She has dynamite in one hand and revolution in the other.
At this time, the imperial court was not afraid of anyone making trouble, and even hoped that someone would make trouble. If trouble occurred, it would be directly suppressed and a bloodbath was the fastest way to change.
But except for those who have ambitions in their hearts, who can cause trouble? After all, the calculation is so deep and far-reaching that everyone in the world has been calculated.
And when did you think of these things? You must have planned them after you became the crown prince!
How long has he been the crown prince? Are there any advisers around him? None.
So, what else is there to say?
Xiaosi suddenly came to his senses and asked Tongtong: "What about the clan...what about Zhuangzi and the fields in our hands?"
Xiao Wu burst into laughter.
Xiaosi stared at Tongtong: "Our Zhuangzi is gone too?!"
Tongtong was a little embarrassed, "...but it's profitable! If you have something you particularly want to plant, you can also leave a farm and ask the people around you to farm it, or ask them to have a pensioner when they get old.
Place. I suggest you keep a small Huangzhuang, I plan to keep it!"
No! My farm has mountains, water, fields, everything you need.
"I'm not forcing you! You have a lot of people, just ask your people to take care of it."
Xiaosi did some calculations. If his own land is not considered public land, what will happen to the people who farm in it? They will have children! In a few years, the number of people in his farm will increase exponentially. By then, these people will
What should we do with people? We can’t feed them! As time goes by, this is not a favor, but an enmity.
The best way is actually to retain a few capable stewards, and hire some old people to do daily maintenance. As for daily work, it is better to hire short-term workers, so that it can be done once and for all.
She asked Tongtong: "What should you do with Zhuangzi?"
"Which village should be kept? Move the tenants of that village out. Move them to other villages! After all, there are many people living in the village... The little stewards are very rich. Pull them out first and hang them.
We are in a hurry to make arrangements. Let’s wait until the matter of the public fields is over and everything has settled. Let’s talk about how to deal with it! In this way, the tenants who belong to us have been settled. As for the farms we keep for ourselves, there are few crops and mostly trees and scenery.
The vegetables and fruits grown are also staggered during the farming season, so there is no shortage of people to use them! The former tenant farmers have to come here to earn a small amount of money, isn't it great?"
Xiao Si calculated this: "Then...who is idle? Who among the Chen family can be idle?" Even if you treat people like cattle, your whip will be a bit harsh. Thinking about this, look at Liu Nande, "
Auntie Huang, let me become a monk with you!"
Liu Nande laughed loudly, "If you are willing to be the number one scholar, then let me go!"
Princess Shengrong's concern is: "If you don't go out on errands and don't make meritorious deeds... the rewards will be less."
Yes! There is a strict system of rewards and punishments. If they want to live in peace, the clan's property can also help them live a top-notch life. But what about the descendants? If the descendants only get a share, they will be wiped out by everyone in less than three generations!
Princess Shengrong looked at the queen: "Queen Mother——" I just want to be a good princess, isn't this possible?
The queen held Shengrong's hand and couldn't help laughing, "Shengrong is very talented, what's wrong with coming out to take care of things?"
Before Shengrong could say anything, Xiao Wu suddenly said: "I actually feel that my mother-in-law and Xiao's concubine are the most at ease! As long as they don't look for trouble, they will really be fine."
Everyone: "..." It's a shame that you are still in the mood to tease your mother and concubine.
Tongtong thought for a while and said: "If you are really bored in the palace, the Kun Ministry can actually have an internal mediation department. Internal personnel conflicts, all the trivial family matters that women in the world encounter, as long as there are such reports,
You can leave it to the two mother-in-laws."
Isn’t it just a matter of business? Why are you doing your own business? There are so many weird things in the world, and there are things beyond people’s understanding every day. It is hard to distinguish right from wrong, but mediation is indeed needed. Go! It’s so lively!
Each gossip can satisfy the fun-loving needs of middle-aged women.
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Wu, "Didn't you tell me last time that a wife under your command married first the eldest brother-in-law and then the younger brother-in-law... I used to think that the eldest brother-in-law died outside, so I remarried, but now
Her ex-husband is not dead, but she is married... Does this quarrel give you a headache? If you really can’t handle it, let your mother and concubine handle it!"
An ethical TV series, the kind that can last for decades!
