Chapter 635 Shiyi and Xiguo System!
Chapter 635 Shiyi and Xiguo System!
After conquering the two countries, Yao Yun [Molongding], [Zhenshan Yin] and other ritual weapons returned triumphantly.
Mrs. Tassel, the second elder Wu Tong, and the Minister of State Sun Muyue brought hundreds of officials, and all the people of Xidu to respond in the suburbs twenty miles, and the scene was extremely grand and huge.
"Congratulations on the victorious return of the King!"
In the midst of celebration, Yao Yun and others welcomed the [Molongding], [Zhenshan Yin] and the rest of the broken ritual vessels back to the Wu Temple, adding national fortune to the Xi Kingdom.
The second elder Wu Tong saw so many ritual vessels, including two Zhenguo ritual vessels, and his mouth opened open.
How many years have passed, and he has finally been able to worship so many Zhenguo ritual vessels again.
The second elder Wu Tong, who was full of spring breeze, immediately began to busy with the grand sacrifice activities.
After Yao Yun handed over the Zhenguo ritual and a group of ritual weapons to the second elder Wu Tong, he didn't pay attention to it, but turned his head to discuss with the minister Sun Muyue about taking over and governing many matters of the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom.
After taking over the two countries, the system of Hee Kingdom naturally needs to continue in new places.
In the summer dynasties of the present year, the feudal system was implemented, and the world was owned by the Son of Heaven alone, and the Son of Heaven divided the land and the people to the princes, who enjoyed a high degree of regional autonomy and undertook corresponding obligations.
In the vassal states, the princes were divided into ministers, and the doctors were divided into scholars, and they were sealed layer by layer.
The land in the world is called public ownership, which is actually the public ownership of the aristocracy, and in the Xi country, the land belongs to Yao Yun and the country ~ family, Yao Yun contracted the right to manage the land to the people, and used these to collect rent, collect taxes, and extract the labor surplus of the farmers to strengthen the Xi country.
Of course, farmers can trade land management rights for the expansion of reproduction.
And the senior qi refiners, important ministers, and Yao Yun of the Xi State also divided the land, but instead of dividing the land ownership, they divided the land beneficiary rights, and the land management rights were dispatched by the Xi State.
This is similar to the "food eup" practiced by many vassal states in the summer dynasty, but it is different.
Under the "eup" system, the nobility could collect rents and taxes from the common people.
The people in the fiefdom of Xiguo still paid taxes to Xiguo, and the land rent was also handed over to the state treasury, and then the treasury rewarded the emerging scholars of Xiguo.
Under this system, the income obtained by the emerging scholars of Xi has not decreased a lot, but has increased a lot, especially in these years, the grain yield per mu of Xi has increased year by year, and the land income has been increasing, and the wealth of the emerging scholars of Xi has also risen.
What's more, the Xi Kingdom has developed commerce, and these scholars invest the income of their fiefs in shops and workshops, and the income is much higher than that of the nobles of other countries.
With the same large fiefdom, the emerging scholars of the Xi Kingdom are much richer.
For example, Xiguo is a joint-stock company, Yao Yun and the country ~ are major shareholders, operation and management, and create income, and the Shi clan is a small shareholder, working hard for the country and enjoying dividends.
The advantage of this is that the majority of the people are linked to the country ~ the country, decoupled from the ordinary family, strengthen the centralization of power, integrate the resources of the country, and help motivate the people to work and produce.
The Mexican and Shanyuan kingdoms practiced the "food yi" system, and the nobles of the two countries could collect rents and taxes from the people under their rule, which was different from the system of the Xi country.
In this case, Xiguo naturally needs to ban it and implement the system of Xiguo nationwide.
Most of the land and wealth of the two countries are in the hands of the nobles of the two countries, and after conquering the country of Mexico and Shanyuan, Yao Yun used a "violent regime" with zero cost and ordered the Xi army to sweep the country of Mexico and Shanyuan.
The big families of the scholars who were once attached to Mobo and Shanyuan were either raided and reduced to prisoners, or they were exiled to other countries and left for other places.
The farmland, house title deeds, and slaves that once belonged to the great nobles of the two countries were all confiscated by Xiguo, and all the wealth fell into the hands of Xiguo.
In order to stabilize the situation, Yao Yun's methods were much gentler for the small and medium-sized scholars in the two countries, focusing on pacification.
As long as he surrendered to Xiguo, Xiguo recognized the legitimacy of his wealth - the "fiefdom of Shiyi" was still retained, but there was no ownership of the land, only the right to benefit from the land
The other is slaves, and Xiguo will buy slaves from small and medium-sized nobles and even ordinary people by way of ransom.
Of course, the money for redemption is not a one-time payment, the rich and famous people of Xiguo move the Celestial Empire, but after all, there is not so much money, Xiguo will implement installment payment, in the name of Xiyun Marquis Yao Yun IOU, with the future slaves generated by the labor income to pay in installments to the original nobles of the two countries.
As a result, Xi Guo carried out institutional transformation and assimilation of the original Mo State and Shanyuan Kingdom.
What? The nobles of your two countries disagree? Questioning the credibility of the Marquis of Xiyun?
Believe it or not, let your family be ruined immediately, and follow in the footsteps of Mobo and Shanyuanbo?
In the initial process of assimilation, the small and medium-sized nobles of the two countries did have scruples, unwilling to give up the "food estate", and to get any "fief income", and worried that their "slaves" would be "hacked" by the Marquis of Xiyun.
After all, there is a big gap between the status of the two sides, if Xiyun Hou doesn't pay it back, who will they go to!
This worry did not last long, as the big nobles of the two countries raided their homes and fled to escape, under the "killing chickens and making an example of monkeys", the little Jiujiu in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Compared with those families whose families are ruined, Xiyun Marquis is quite gentle on their methods, and there is no "robbery", and there is lobbying from the officials of Xiguo, saying how the fiefs of the ministers of Xiguo have benefited from the fiefs..... Under many comparisons, the small and medium-sized nobles quickly compromised and bowed to Yao Yun one after another.
The common people of Mexico and Shanyuan have no land, but many of them have slaves in their homes, which is their private property, so they are naturally reluctant to hand over to Xiguo and get an IOU.
For ordinary people, not to mention the IOU made by Xiyun Hou, even if it was an IOU made by Emperor Tianzi, it was useless.
Dealing with ordinary people who are powerless, Xiguo naturally can't use force to force them to comply, just like the nobles of the two countries, otherwise, Yao Yun will become a tyrant.
The most important thing is that the situation among the people is more complicated, some slaves are the tools of their labor, and some are an important part of their reproduction, which is intricate, if it is a one-size-fits-all and implements the Xiguo system, then there will be chaos.
Therefore, for ordinary civilians, slavery needs to be slowly figured out, relying on the officials step by step.
Fortunately, Tianwen Academy can train a lot of small officials every year, and when the time comes, they will be distributed in various places, and they will eventually be improved step by step.
However, on the whole, the people of the two countries are very supportive of the rule of Xi State, because Xi State distributed the land management rights of a large number of fertile land to the people, realizing that "the cultivator has his land", and the people of the two countries naturally support Yao Yun.
Not to mention, the name of Xiguo's wealth is famous all over the world, who doesn't know that Xiyun Hou is benevolent and loves the people, governs the country well, and governs the people well.
And just when the Xi Kingdom made a bold move, annexing and assimilating the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom, the wrath from the Emperor of Heaven came to him!
