Chapter 5457: Split the soil and divide the land to end the war
The black robe gritted his teeth and said: "Then it seems that we have to speed up our actions. If the ancestor can use Xu Daofu's body to kill Liu Yu this time, everyone will be happy. Once Liu Yu dies, everything will be fine."
Things are getting better, but if Liu Yu doesn’t die and Tianshi Dao is finished, then we can only rely on inciting the people to restrain Liu Yu, but from what I heard, ancestor, you don’t seem to be optimistic about this?”
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, because in the past, careerists who wanted to usurp power would make good wishes such as equalizing the rich and the poor, and equaling the noble and the humble. But in fact, the people who can really get these benefits are extremely rare.
A small number, the vast majority of ordinary people, became pawns. After conquering the country, they still became ordinary people. Although their lives were better than in the troubled times, they were still working as cows and horses, and there was no happiness at all.
.”
"Of course, in the chaos of the past dynasties, most of the population will die. When the dynasty was founded, there were many people and few lands. Those who survived were often allocated more land than the previous dynasty, and the early dynasty would also be able to recuperate and recuperate.
For a period of time, we will not launch a large-scale external
War, so it can be said that there are still decades to hundreds of years, and you can live a relatively good life. However, no matter how well you live, you are still just a common people. The kind of nobles can have food and clothing without productive labor.
You don’t have to count on a good day to open your mouth.”
Doupeng's brows had been furrowed tightly. Hearing this, he said: "Ancestor, what you mean is that after experiencing the Tianshi Dao Rebellion, the Jin Kingdom was just like the troubled times when it came to rule. Half of its population was lost, and its territory was vast.
The population is sparse, so Liu Yu can take the opportunity to give a large amount of idle land, especially to Tianshi Dao Luanbo
In serious cases, the land in places like Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, as well as the former Jiangbei land, was distributed to the people in large quantities, inducing the tenant farmers who were originally crowded in the aristocratic estates in the eight counties of Wudi to run out.
Get land, organize households and people, and become people directly controlled by the government and the court, right?"
The ancestor said seriously: "Yes, this is what Liu Yu really wants to do. If you want everyone to be equal, you must first have talents. In the past hundred years of the Jin Dynasty, there have been people, but it is not the government or the imperial court.
What can be controlled is to let the high-ranking families in Wu land firmly control them.
Even the warlords of the feudal towns in Jingzhou also controlled the people of these counties and withheld the tax revenue from these places. This situation did not change much even at the time of Jianyi, because the people of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangzhou,
It is controlled by Liu Yi, He Wuji and the others
Although Jingzhou finally fell into the hands of Liu Daogui, firstly, the time was too short, and secondly, he could not control the local tycoons in Jingzhou, so he could only cooperate with them and let these powerful local landowners take charge of the households in Jingzhou.
and Liu Yu need to pass through the aristocratic families in Wu.
To be honest, these are just transactions. The tax revenue and manpower Liu Yu and Liu Daogui received from Yangzhou and Jingzhou were less than one-fifth of what they should have received. This is why they still
It’s because of being restricted by aristocratic families and noble families.”
"Previously, Liu Yu only needed to maintain the size of the Beifu Army and maintain an army that could fight. But this army, including the army's food and supplies, had to be in the hands of others. From the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan to the two years of fighting with Tian
Liu Yu must have had enough of Shi Dao's battles. This time he finally succeeded in annihilating Tian
Once Shidao succeeds, his prestige will be at its peak. In this case, it is entirely possible to use the post-Tianshidao rebellion to rearrange officials in various places, reward meritorious soldiers, and appease the people after the war.
In addition, his New Deal was implemented in a large area from Jiangbei to Jingzhou."
"The key to these new policies lies in the distribution of a large amount of unowned land. During the war, the powerful landlords from various places who originally owned these lands either died at the hands of Tianshi Dao, or because of the rebellion against Tianshi Dao, they will be destroyed after the war.
If liquidated, even if the family lives are saved, most of the land will be lost. After these lands are nationalized, they will inevitably be distributed to meritorious soldiers and homeless people after the war.
At the same time, the land will be completely controlled by the state and the people will be organized into households. Liu Yu will gather them together, just like those experiences in the six counties in Jiangbei. He will cultivate the whole village and send old farmers and village heads who are familiar with farming to carry out the work.
Management, when the time comes, can be the same as Qin's previous farming and war policy. Whoever produces more food can also be rewarded according to meritorious service on the battlefield. In this way, production and population in various places will quickly recover and grow."
At this point, the ancestor looked at the black robe and said in a deep voice: "Black robe Tao Gong, you always think that Liu Yu will always fight wars, and then recruit people to join the army and increase taxes. Do you think Liu Yu is abusing people's power in this way?"
Yu, will definitely arouse a backlash of public indignation. This gives you the opportunity to make up ballads and sing jokes to discredit Liu Yu and incite people to resist. But I think Liu Yu will stop this time and stay quiet for a few years. He will
First stabilize the government and the central government, slowly take back the military power of Liu Yi, Zhuge Changmin and other veteran generals who are not aligned with him, completely control the army, and then disband a large number of ordinary soldiers in the army and let them go to various places to divide the territory
If Liu Yu did this by occupying land, integrating households into the people, becoming self-cultivated farmers, and encouraging them to engage in production and farming, would you still be able to incite public opinion and make people everywhere oppose him?"
The black robe shook his head: "If this is the case, it is indeed difficult for people to rise up against Liu Yu, but I think Liu Yu will not stop, because if there is no war and a large number of soldiers return to their fields, then Liu Yu will
He could not meet the needs of the Beifu Army, nor could he satisfy the needs of the children of the aristocratic families who wanted to follow the mixed military merits and retain their title. In the past few years, he had killed many enemies in battles and also fought hard.
After gaining prestige, if he wants to further usurp power and seize the throne, establish himself as emperor, and then use the power of the emperor to enforce his unrealistic policies, he must achieve greater achievements. Now he has
He is nearly fifty, and he doesn’t know how long he can live or how long he can fight. Once he relaxes, he may not fight for five or ten years. How can he bear it? "
Having said this, the black robe looked at Doupeng: "Liu Yu doesn't have the various secrets of prolonging life that our Tiandao Alliance has. He is the kind of person who seizes the day and night. Now he finally has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.
While we have the great army in hand, we should immediately launch the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition, and instead let them disarm and return to their fields. Then if we want to form an army next time, we don’t know how long we will have to wait, and we don’t know if we can wait.” (End of Chapter)
