Nine hundred and twenty-fifth section granting fields
The literati and bureaucrats of Qilu have been a joke since Sima Xiangqi and King Qi Wei.
Tai Shigong said: The customs of Qi are tolerant, broad-minded, wise, and good at discussing. The ground is heavy and difficult to shake! Those who are timid in fighting with others and brave enough to hold thorns will rob others many times!
As for the land of Lu, it is: a land of petty people, stingy, fearful of sin, and far away from evil.
Although these two evaluations are inevitably somewhat suspicious of map cannons.
but……
It may not be true.
At least it is a fact that reflects the appearance of scholar-bureaucrats and bureaucratic landlords in the Qilu area.
Since Queen Wei, Qi has hardly won any decisive war.
They were even hung up and beaten by Yan soldiers at one point, and almost perished.
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and conquered Qi alone, and surrendered on its knees without any bloodshed.
The army of 500,000 soldiers all disarmed, ***************!
South Korea has more backbone than Qi!
As for the facts of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony up to now, they all prove the truth: live in peace and happiness, die in sorrow.
Since the days of Santian (brothers Tian Zhan, Tian Rong, and Tian Heng), the landlords and bureaucrats in Qilu have never accomplished anything by relying on their own strength.
Back then, Tian Zhan's uprising did not rely on rising up like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, nor did it rely on Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to respond to a hundred calls.
Instead, he relied on conspiracy to assassinate the local magistrate and relied on the remaining power of his ancestors to establish himself as king.
The results are naturally self-evident.
Tian Zhan, king of Qi, was killed by Zhang Han in Linji.
Then, the funniest scene in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony was staged: the Qi nobles, bureaucrats, and landlords started fighting internally despite having strong enemies outside.
After Tian Zhan's death, some Qi nobles and landowners supported the late Qi King Jian's younger brother Tian Jie as king and Tian Jiao as prime minister.
Tian Zhan's younger brother Tian Rong took Tian Zhan's defeated troops and fled to Dong'a in a hurry.
Zhang Han chased after him closely.
Fortunately, Xiang Liang heard about the defeat of the Qi army and immediately sent a large army to reinforce Dong'a.
And defeated the Qin army under Dong'a City.
Zhang Han was defeated and moved westward, so Xiang Liang led his troops to pursue him.
Tian Rong, who had just escaped from death, did not follow Xiang Liang to pursue Zhang Han, nor did he quickly take advantage of the opportunity of victory to regain the lost ground.
But...
Turn around and go back to find trouble with Tianjia.
Expelled Tianjia and his forces from Qi.
At this time, Xiang Liangdong pursued the Qin soldiers, but was besieged by Zhang Han in Dingtao.
At this time, the situation in the world was that the main force of Qin's rebel army under the command of Xiang Liang was in Dingtao.
If Xiang Liang is defeated, it will almost be another battle of Changping.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Xiang Liang is defeated, the Qin army can advance to Julu, defeat Zhao first, and then destroy Wei, repeating Qin Shihuang's unification of the six kingdoms.
So King Huai of Chu immediately sent a letter to Qi and Zhao asking for help.
However, the amused King Tian Rong of Qi made a request to King Huai of Chu: Do you want me to send troops? Yes, you can kill Tian Jia who fled to you first and send his head over!
Moreover, Tian Rong not only wants Tian Jiao's head, but also wants the head of Tian Jiao who is on the run and is under the control of King Zhao Zhao Xie!
This is tantamount to putting his status above the heads of King Chu Huai and King Zhao!
How could Chu and Zhao agree?
So, just when Qi, Chu and Zhao were quarreling with each other, Xiang Liang was defeated and killed in Dingtao, and Qin general Zhang Han led his troops to Julu.
Cuo Fei Xiang Yu came out of nowhere and destroyed the cauldron and boat under Julu City, defeating the invincible Qin army in one fell swoop.
The Qin Empire may be able to wipe out the entire rebel army of Qi, Zhao and Chu.
It is precisely because of this that the subsequent tragedy was laid.
After Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he resented Tian Rong for refusing to save his uncle Xiang Liang, and instead of making him king, he made Tian Shi the king. Tian An and Tian Du, who were also members of the old Qi royal family, became kings.
This made Tian Rong, the most powerful faction in Qidi, very dissatisfied.
Just turn against him.
Therefore, Tian Rong joined forces with Zhao general Chen Yu to rebel.
When things get tough, Tian Rong is indeed very powerful.
Almost crushing them, they destroyed the Three Qi established by Xiang Yu and unified the land.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yu counterattacked later.
Tian Rong was defeated by Xiang Yu before he could even hold on for a single round, and fled to Pingyuan. He was beheaded by locals in Pingyuan County and given to Xiang Yu as a gift...
Only Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Heng looks a little bit like him.
But it's not much better.
Open all the documents from the time of the rebellion against Qin to the fall of Santian.
Under the leadership of the nobles and landowners of the Qi State, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it once became a great and powerful country that dominated all other countries and rivaled the Qin Dynasty.
It actually turned into a joke!
They almost never won any wars with other princes.
Moreover, it collapsed every time.
Whose responsibility is this? Whose fault?
You know, even now, the bravery and strength of Qi warriors are famous all over the world, and their technical and tactical skills are amazing.
Heroes from all over the world appear again and again.
The unity and bravery of the Qi people have been admired, and their loyalty is even more admirable.
But why can't they win any war on a slightly larger scale?
Repeated battles and defeats, repeated defeats and battles...
Is it because Qi people have no heroes?
Aren't Peng Yue and Luan Bu heroes?
Could it be that Qi people are not brave enough and united enough?
The troops of Qi during the reign of Sima Xiangji and King Wei Wei of Qi were so powerful that they made other countries bow their heads.
Earlier, Duke Heng of Qi united the nine princes to rule the world.
With the power of a country, we can support the building when it is about to collapse and turn the tide before it falls.
Confucius praised: "Mi Guan Zhong, I was sent to the left."
Qi soldiers at these times are synonymous with unity, bravery and eliteness.
Even in the era after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, King Tian Heng of Qi committed suicide, and there were still 500 loyal ministers and righteous people who died.
Then why did the soldiers and people of Qi become the group described by Tai Shigong as "cowardly in fighting in public and brave in holding thorns"?
The answer is, if there is a rogue soldier, there will be a rogue general in the nest.
A sheep led by a lion can at least drive away wild wolves.
But a pride of lions led by a sheep may not be able to defeat even jackals, and they will run away when they see a fox!
The root of Qi's problems lies with its entire upper-class nobility and landowners.
These guys live in Qi, a prosperous and prosperous land with abundant products.
And stay away from the flames of war and foreign invasion.
No threat from any direction can threaten them.
This has been the case since the Warring States Period.
Han Feizi said: If a person is helpless internally, he will be invincible, and if he is invincible externally, his country will be permanently destroyed.
Since Tian Dan rescued Qi, the state of Qi has been enjoying peace and prosperity.
The country's nobles and upper class do not need to worry about foreign invasion at all.
Just enjoy and splurge with peace of mind.
Under such circumstances, the influence of Confucianism gradually flourished in Qi.
Scholar-officials, nobles and landowners almost all became supporters of Confucianism.
I remember when Confucius came to Qi, Jinggong wanted to use him as a high official, but Yan Zi tried hard to dissuade him. Everyone in the Qi Dynasty also opposed him, and finally Confucius left in embarrassment.
But today, the largest stronghold and the most stable foundation of Confucianism is in Qidi.
This cannot but be said to be a huge irony and a joke.
Of course, this does not mean that Confucianism is bad.
If the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange; if it grows in the north of Huaihe, it becomes orange.
The Confucian scholars of Yanzhao and Daibei were men who could ride big horses, draw strong bows, drink strong wine, and kill Xiongnu.
But the Confucian scholars in Qi...
Except for a few elites.
What Liu Che saw was a guy with high ambitions and low ambitions, who only talked and was unwilling to be pragmatic.
They would rather stay at home, wear loose clothes and long sleeves, dance and write, than go somewhere to bow and work.
They regard craftsmanship and technology as fancy skills and ingenuity, and they also despise all other schools of thought, and even some schools of Confucianism are not favored by them.
The experience of the master's father lying in Qidi at the beginning can clearly explain some problems of the Confucian scholars in Qidi. Even the small sects like the political strategists, which pose no threat to them, have to desperately exclude and suppress them, using language and writing to do their best.
All possible humiliation and exclusion.
Even the late Cang Gong Chun Yuyi had been a great doctor in Qi for decades, and Bian Que's name was well known all over the world.
But in Qi, he was just a so-called "miscellaneous official" in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats and nobles.
The gentry and nobles of Qi were arrogant and arrogant and regarded all non-Confucian scholars and non-civil servants as untouchables and despicable professions.
It seems that only those guys who talk empty talk and talk nonsense like them are considered human beings.
How could Liu Che tolerate such a guy?
How can it be accommodated?
They must know that the sky is high and the earth is high!
And Lu Di is even worse.
This stronghold of conservatives and die-hards is filled with a bunch of scum who only care about themselves and not others, and don’t care about the floods in the world as long as they are happy!
If you don't show them how powerful the store is, Liu Che's ideas will not be clear.
Moreover, doing so has immeasurable benefits.
"Shang Shu ordered the imperial edict to be made!" Liu Che said without restraint: "I heard that in ancient times, the sage kings established government, took it from the people, and used it for the people... I ordered the imperial minister Yu, the king, and my ministers to collect the four kingdoms.
The royal land of the king, except for the homes of prisoners of war, is all public land, and according to the story of Emperor Gao's second year, it is all given to the common people!"
Ji An's body was trembling after hearing this.
Today's edict is simply the policy that all landlords and scholar-bureaucrats fear the most.
Collect the fields and scatter them among the people.
If we say that before this edict, there may still be some security risks in the Qilu area.
But after this edict, everyone in Qilu, regardless of class, except those unlucky ones, would shout "Long live the emperor" and then queue up happily to wait to be allocated their fields.
The sentence in the edict, "The story of Emperor Rugao's second year," blocked the dissatisfaction and doubts of other Qilu scholar-officials and bureaucrats.
Because this means that although the land allocated in this land distribution is the land of landlords, bureaucrats and powerful people, in fact, most of the land will eventually fall into the hands of other landlords, bureaucrats and powerful people.
In the second year of Emperor Gao's reign, the Han Dynasty carried out the first land grant.
It was a land grant that was carried out completely in accordance with the laws of Qin and according to the rank of the nobles.
From the public servants to the princes, everyone was granted land and homesteads in accordance with their titles in accordance with the regulations.
Now, the emperor took out most of the land owned by the four kings of Qi and Lu and those unlucky ones, and once again granted the land according to their title.
What will happen?
Naturally it goes without saying.
This is like:
If your neighbor is unfortunately arrested by the government, a normal person will naturally be afraid and worry that the government will also arrest him.
But if the government gave you your neighbor's land, would you still be afraid? Would you still be dissatisfied? Would you still have doubts?
Of course not, they must be celebrating each other, wishing the emperor would arrest more of his neighbors.
And in accordance with the Han family's standards and specifications for land granting.
The number of lands granted between each level of title is vastly different.
The higher the level, the more fields will be granted.
Moreover, what is more serious is that according to Han law, if you accept a land or house and sell it to others, you are not allowed to receive more.
In other words, if you have been granted land before, but you sell it yourself, the next time the land is granted, you will not have a share even if you have no place to stand.
On the contrary, if a person has hundreds of hectares of land in his name, but he has never been granted land, then next time the land is granted, he can still receive land that matches his title and status.
Naturally, people with higher titles will definitely take advantage of this land grant than those with lower titles.
Since Taizong, the land grant system has been virtually abolished.
A large number of new landowners and scholar-bureaucrats have almost never received land grants.
Therefore, the emperor is equivalent to stuffing a large piece of fat into the mouths of these guys.
Just swallow gently and it will be swallowed into your stomach.
In this way, these guys will naturally become the supporters of today's world.
After all, no matter how great the doctrine is, it cannot be greater than land, and no matter how powerful the ideal is, it cannot be greater than interests.
But those unlucky ones, those landowners, scholar-bureaucrats and nobles who were executed, imprisoned or exiled, had no place to even cry.
Even, no one will listen to their cry.
It's more likely that there isn't even a sympathetic person. If you sympathize with them, isn't it just to push the acquired land outward?
Even if the literati and landlords in Qilu agree, the common people will not agree!
Thinking like this, Ji An felt a little bitter in his heart.
The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, and things harm its own kind.
Today the emperor can use this method to deal with the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles of Qilu.
There is no guarantee that tomorrow we won’t change the name and use it to deal with the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles of Yanzhao and Weiliang.
But, what else can he do?
The scholar-bureaucrats and nobles in Qilu are not just dominating the local fish and meat village.
As a minister, Ji An knew that the reason why they were really guilty and deserved to die was that they actually tried to connect with each other, build momentum, and instigate the emperor to grant Zen, and they actually dared to intervene in the political strife within the royal family.
Therefore, they must die! They must die!
If only it were just that simple in the Fish and Meat Village.
Do I need to dispatch Zhijinwu and Tingwei?
Sending a county guard or even a county magistrate would be enough to make them cry for father and mother, and the court would not have to bear any burden.
Therefore, Ji An had no choice but to say respectfully: "Promise, I will prepare the edict!"
"Does Shangshu Ling think that I am too cruel and inhumane?" Liu Che did not let him carry out the order immediately, saying: "I am not a murderous king, nor am I the kind of king who is ignorant of the ways of the world!"
"Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say that what do I want..." Liu Che turned his back and walked away with a long smile.
No need to explain too much.
Just get the message out.
Let the landlords and scholar-bureaucrats in other places know: I am not too ruthless, it is the scumbags of Qilu who are seeking death!
This way, others should be able to understand.
Of course, it’s okay if they don’t understand.
Anyway, in history, the little pig played tricks and almost killed 90% of the landowners, powerful landlords and scholar-bureaucrats in the world, but none of them dared to jump out to cause trouble.
Liu Che, who holds a gun in his hand, is naturally fearless.
