Chapter 1340: It's Really Busy to Divide the Land (Big Change)

After the Celestial Army's Changsha Battle Corps was deployed, the local institutions of the Juehan Covenant began their busy government affairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In view of the fact that Peng Yulin, the newly appointed head of the Juehan Covenant, Sima Xueyi, and Yang Dianbang, did not know much about these businesses of the Heavenly Kingdom, the top administrative leaders of the Heavenly Kingdom were all involved in the new construction work.

Among them is President Hong Xinfu, who is the original leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan.

Because Mai Ke and others came down out of thin air, they brought true Christian beliefs, and his whole person was fundamentally changed.

The inner life is no longer the original kind of outward acceptance of the Christian faith, but in fact it is still his own old routine that plays a decisive role, and the title of king and emperor is still the goal he pursues and the main theme of life, and now he has become a new Christian.

Even his name was changed.

The original name Hong Xiuquan, which means "I am the king of people", is now changed to "new servant", that is, a new person, a servant of everyone.

This is the basic meaning of the Lord Jesus teaching to be great in the kingdom of heaven, that is, to lead the people, to be a servant of the people, to serve the people.

The leader of the people serves the people, and it is a completely new relationship between the leader and the led in the kingdom of heaven.

This is also the original meaning of God's creation of man and the selection of man to exercise the function of stewardship.

Of course, as Hong Xinfu himself, having this will is of course the most important, but it is not the end of the matter with the will.

He must carry out his work, which means that he must fulfill his duties as a president, and all his affairs must be in charge of the purposes of heaven, but he must embody his new human nature in the service of all.

These two requirements are very contradictory on the surface, but in reality they are very unified.

For the Lord Jesus set an example for His disciples by washing their feet.

As the Bible teaches, God works all things together for the good of those who love Him.

In other words, what Hong Xinfu did, serving everyone, was actually the fundamental purpose of his work.

Whether it is used directly or indirectly, it is for such a purpose.

The specific method should be related to the wisdom of the man of God.

The way in which we serve the people must be determined in conjunction with the time to effectively achieve the purpose.

For example, if we superficially learn the foot-washing of the Lord Jesus, then the entire Covenant of the Halhan currently has a population of 4 million, which is enough for him to keep busy for several lifetimes.

Therefore, in order to fulfill his presidential duties, he must not devote all his time to washing people's feet.

Therefore, he decided to put experience at the root of the establishment of political power and the livelihood of the peasants.

In these two matters, his main assistant is his cousin, the current prime minister Hong Renxuan.

Hong Renxuan was the author of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's "Heavenly Kingdom Field Mu System" in history, and he had a deep study and understanding of the basic means of production of land, and the method he proposed to solve the land problem was also very unique, but unfortunately because the Taiping army at that time did not win a decisive victory in military affairs, and thus did not have a solid political basis, no matter how good the method was, there was no way to implement it.

Moreover, the system itself is fundamentally flawed.

Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom advocated that the land under heaven should be shared by all the people in the world, it did not concentrate the land to form a scale, but divided it equally among all households.

And that's not all, the land is divided into nine grades, and the different grades of land for each family are divided equally.

In this case, the land will be fragmented and large-scale production will not be possible.

The productive forces are bound to be even lower than the original ownership of large landlords.

This system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was actually the goal pursued by the peasant rebellion since ancient times, and it was influenced by absolute egalitarianism, believing that equality would be achieved if the land was divided equally.

In fact, it is not possible.

If nothing else, let's just say that there are two families, both of which are ten people, but one family is a daughter, and the other family is a man.

More importantly, the land of the two families is the same.

However, it is clear that the woman-dominated family will soon have the problem of not being able to use the land normally.

And the family dominated by men may have the problem of insufficient land.

In this way, after a little longer, you will face the land changing hands.

This is not to mention large-scale natural and man-made disasters.

In addition to the distribution of land, there is also the issue of the distribution of goods received from land.

The land system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a comprehensive regulation, and the harvest distribution system in which the land was distributed to each family was a sacred treasury system.

The sacred treasury system means that no matter whether the seizure of the victorious battle or the harvest of the land, it needs to be handed over to the unified sacred treasury, and then when needed, it will be collected from the sacred treasury.

If there is a flaw in the distribution of land, this system of handing over to the sacred treasury is fatally stifling the productive enthusiasm of those who have been allocated land.

This also shows that the purpose of the so-called allotment of land to everyone is to enable them to produce grain and other agricultural and sideline products to supply the expenses of the heavenly government and the army.

If a regime has huge administrative and military expenditures, it will certainly do its best to collect grain, grass and money from the common people under its jurisdiction, even to the extent that the officials force the people to rebel.

It can be seen that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's system of returning all income to the treasury satisfied the needs of the huge government and army, and how much was left to the common people after the huge government and army began.

Even when the weather is particularly smooth, even when the weather is the smoothest, the needs of the common people can only be taken into account last, not to mention the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, natural disasters and man-made disasters were frequent, and they suffered defeats all day long.

At this time, the peasants are starving to death, will they still give the harvest to the Holy Treasury?

But the system is like this, if you don't pay, you will be forced to pay!

Therefore, the contradiction between the individual and the state has changed from being only paid as a part of taxes to taking away all the food from the peasants.

Therefore, this contradiction has become a life-and-death contradiction.

In this way, this heavenly land acre system itself has become a tomb dug by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself.

Such a mistake will never be made by McKe, but even Hong Renxuan will never make it.

The current land policy of the Kingdom of Heaven is that all the mounds belong to the Kingdom of Heaven and are then used as needed.

It's like the one that the first Holy City Sven did in the Holy Mountain.

It is those who are willing to farm, who have a skill to continue to grow various crops, and the harvested products are sent to the trading center, from where they take the handicrafts they need.

Of course, there are a total of 100 such trading centers in the entire Juehan Covenant District, and they are basically set up according to the local county-level towns.

The location of each trading center is a holy city, which is basically the same size and has a population of about 40,000 people.

In addition to agriculture, there are also supporting commerce, processing industry, service industry, etc., all of which are the same as Shengshan and Shengshi, with a computing center for the same dispatch.

Therefore, whether it is agriculture or handicrafts, the employed people basically combine labor and recreation.
