Defecting to Jiangxi, the first time I talked about generalities, followed by the urgent distribution of seeds and digging deep into the soil. At this time, there is no distribution involved, it is all a group. But when the seedlings are planted, the fields have to be distributed according to the population. Previously, he had to register a household registration, and some of the landed people were still alive, so what would happen to their fields? It's all something to think about. All kinds of shady scenes, after the end of this month, the political envoy yamen will be crowded with people who have come to annex the land. If Chen Fengning is a little darker, he can get a willing bribe here. The result is inevitably that Jiangxi directly reversed, and their base plan went bankrupt.
At this moment, Chen Fengning is extremely busy, using all the resources he can use, and he has to stare at the victims holding seeds and seedlings, rather than eating them short-sightedly. There are always some scoundrels who eat their own seeds first, and wait until they rob other people's houses in the future, or directly blackmail the yamen. It's important to make sure that even if there are scoundrels who don't want to farm, don't waste precious seeds. In fact, not only the scoundrels, but even the honest people who look at so much food are unbearable. After all, I've been hungry for a long time. At such times, it is necessary to suppress them with strong authority, so that they can divert the contradictions in their hearts, and if necessary, they must also make an example of chickens and monkeys, and cut down a few disobedient people, so as to effectively control the victims.
Hearing that Ting Fang was invited, Chen Fengning was a little impatient. Qian Lianggong has never been directly in charge of the place, Xu Jingchang is even more tender, he is not very able to deal with Diao Min, he is busy with his foot hitting the back of the head, and he doesn't know what is important to the female dependents in the back. But Tingfang is the county lord after all, so it's not good not to give face. I had to explain all kinds of things uneasily, and specially invited Zhou Yi to take the men and horses to guard it, so as to make time to go to Ting Fang's house.
By this time it was already dark, and an oil lamp was lit in the courtyard. The smoke of the oil lamp is big and the light is small, it is really like a bean, barely equivalent to the brightness of the night light in later generations. In such a light, it is difficult to see the other person's expression, which is not conducive to conversation. But now I'm too busy during the day to spare time, so I have to settle. When Chen Fengning entered the door, he vaguely saw a person sitting on the top, estimated that it was Tingfang, and saluted the figure first.
Ting Fang is young, her eyes are better than Chen Fengning, and she can see more clearly. got up to avoid it, and walked down to help Chen Fengning sit on the other side. Chen Fengning only realized that there was no one else in the house at this time. I couldn't help but ask first: "Brother?" β
Ting Fang smiled: "Milk. The mother went to take a bath. "Xu Qing is also a variable, and he is tripped at home with him in Tingfang. Not to mention going out to work, it took a long time to talk about it, and only then did he vacate the house as a talking place when he ensured that Xu Qing could not blow the night breeze. Of course, Chen Fengning has a study, and no matter how poor it is, there is a yamen. It's just that grandpa is not grandpa after all, and the first time he has a serious conversation, it's better to play cards according to the routine first.
Chen Fengning vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with Tingfang, he was a lot older, and he was very tired after a few days of spinning, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know what the county lord commands?" β
Tingfang also has a son who feeds a little bit, and he has no time to chat than Chen Fengning, so he said directly: "A landlord has asked to see grandpa these days, right?" β
Chen Fengning said: "But did you ask for the county lord?" β
Ting Fang said solemnly: "After the flood, how big a landlord is, don't you still want to take the seeds of the imperial court to plant your own land?" The gate bureaucracy does not pay taxes, and at the moment they want seeds, but they don't have them. β
Chen Fengning frowned and said: "I have statistics, eight out of ten of the registered population, and there are barren fields, and the seeds can't be thrown indiscriminately." But after the wasteland is planted, is it still not given to the landlord? β
Ting Fang sneered: "The barren field can't be planted, and the seeds can still be eaten." The ground has been blistered by large water, and some have been cleaned up. Nowadays, the land that can be planted is high, and it is thanks to the fact that those who grow corn and potatoes do not need to be irrigated like rice, otherwise they will starve to death this winter. Although these seeds are His Royal Highness's mercy on the people, they are not considered disaster relief from the imperial court, so they want to take advantage of them in vain? β
Chen Fengning's heart jumped: "What does the county lord mean?" β
Ting Fang said: "First check according to the household registration, and do not occupy more land." The ownerless wasteland is divided. The common people have their own fields, and they don't need to be urged by anyone, and they can serve more carefully than their own sons. What they have to do is that they don't follow the rules of serious farming when they are in a hurry, and they can just get stuck at this point. β
Chen Fengning suddenly understood that this was to build momentum for King Fu. The people have received the land from the hands of the blessed king, and they have also received seeds from the blessed king, and they will support the blessed king. couldn't see her face clearly in the dim light, and Chen Fengning couldn't help but be impressed by this cheap granddaughter. can escape from the Qinglou, or have intelligence, but when it comes to the outside things clearly, it is not something that ordinary daughters in boudoirs can do, not like their own daughters!
When Ting Fang saw that Chen Fengning didn't speak, she knew that he had acquiesced. He also said: "There are not many men now, and don't count them as household registrations, just divide them according to population." If you don't have to ask women to do men's work and farm the fields, the future harvest will not count them. β
Chen Fengning was stunned: "This ...... Not right? There is no father, no brother, no husband and no children, but it is possible to set up a female household, and the court has a certain amount of tax exemption, but because of this, it is rare to be bullied. Female dependents would rather find cousins to attach themselves to than be reluctant to set up a female household. β
Ting Fang said: "It's not a female household, or a father, brother and husband, and he also gives her a share of the field." β
Chen Fengning immediately objected: "That's not in line with the rules!" β
Ting Fang said: "Rules? The rules can't be eaten as a meal! β
Chen Fengning disagreed in his heart, and said secretly: NaΓ―ve! He waved his hand and said: "Women don't have the strength to farm, so they share it with them, and they can't plant it, so don't they have to hand it over to their father and brother?" Besides, the ladies and dependents have all gone to the ground, who will spin the yarn? β
"Who will spin it?" Ting Fang chuckled, "Grandpa might as well think about it from a different angle." If the land is divided according to the Dingkou, the tax can only be collected according to the Dingkou. What if the land is divided according to population? There is a man and four women in a family, and you divide him into 20 acres, so you have to collect a poll tax. Wouldn't one divided into five acres be able to collect more taxes? As for the fields of the female dependents, they will be given to whichever seed they love. Where is the official yamen so finely managed? β
Chen Fengning was a conservative person, but he still frowned and said, "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." β
Ting Fang persuaded again: "There is another one, this time half of the province was hit by a disaster, do you know how many girls and babies have to be strangled?" β
Chen Fengning didn't speak.
Ting Fang continued: "The land has to be planted, and the battle has to be fought. It's so easy to waste so much land, and it's time to expand taxes, but there is no one, isn't it a pity? But where did this man come from? This batch of baby girls. The child is strangled to death and drowned, and the man is not born? But if you want a daughter, you can also divide the land, and if you die, the court will take it back, who is willing to kill your daughter? Yin and yang are out of balance, but it is a taboo in the country! β
The so-called preference for sons over daughters is nothing but interests. Tingfang directly solves the distribution of benefits from the source, and the status of women is immediately improved. Equality between men and women is not possible for the time being, but it is enough to curb the slaughter of female infants.
Chen Fengning felt a little disobedient. The method proposed by Ting Fang has its advantages, but he always feels that things are not so simple. The more beautiful the mushroom, the more likely it is to be poisonous. Ting Fang came to Jiangxi with so much food, and what she was planning must be more than what she said. To build momentum for King Fu, you don't have to come to Jiangxi at all. The East Lake nest has been planted with nails, is she really not in a hurry? Dividing the field is the most able to buy people's hearts, and when they are distributed to the female dependents, the female dependents can remember her for a lifetime. Although the female dependents are weak, the pillow wind is strong. What does she want so many women to do? Or what does she want to do in such a person's heart?
Ting Fang knew that what she was mentioning was shocking. She is using the opportunity to carry private goods. Women must first have property, and this property is not an inexplicable thing like a dowry, it must be protected by law. Money is the backbone of a person, and poor ghosts have no dignity. For King Fu's country, she has paid too much. Although she was cornered, her price was heavy. East Lake to Jiangxi, more than 2,000 miles of waterway, before the basin to drive a boat for disaster relief, give birth to a child to the exhaustive consideration, this feat, Ronghua and wealth can not afford. As Chen Fengning asked, is it really as long as the power dominates the world? Yes, as long as the power is overwhelming. Because after the power is overwhelming, she will have the opportunity to open a women's department. Why can men take the imperial examination, but women can't? Why can a man be an official, but not a woman? Being an official is not farming, and you don't need that kind of strength. She is a weak scholar and can't beat her, just because she has a handle, she is superior?
Even if she can't open a women's department in her lifetime, she has to step on a path to becoming a woman. Even if the requirements are a hundred times stricter than the imperial examination, even if she is the only one who can do it, at least she has pried open a crack. As long as there is a seam, the princely will Xiangning's kind of remarks will immediately take root in the hearts of women. With the first, there is the second. The more you have, the more you have the right to speak. Naturally, the female department came into being.
But the premise of everything is that women have independent property. Property independence is the basis for personality independence. The existence of the dowry is nothing but an agreement between two fathers, not to mention the dowry, and there are very few women who can really control the dowry, after all, legally speaking, women are not even eligible to pay taxes. Who is not eligible to pay taxes? There are no slaves and maidservants. In other words, from the legal point of view at the national level, women are just slaves who call good sounds. Everything depends on the truth that clears the fog. phase, not the laughable "wife Qi also". In ancient times, women had such a thing, who believed in it was stupid!
Tingfang likes the current pattern, it is cruel to have many people dead, but at the same time, it is not broken or standing, and it is also a good new life. The men of the land fled, leaving only women and children. Well, she started from this point and naturally let women have property rights!
Chen Fengning thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Ting Fang wanted to do. Still persuaded: "It's useless to divide it." Once in their hands, they can sell it to their fathers, brothers, or husbands at a low price. Even so, it is better to give it to men at the beginning. The men outside are not as gentle and considerate as all of them. β
It's too easy to snatch property from a woman! Especially in the era of filial piety oppression. Chen Fengning put aside his speculation about Ting Fang, only from the perspective of yin and yang imbalance, Ting Fang's method had no effect. No woman dares to rebel against her husband for a few acres of land, and there are many men who spend their wives' dowries, not to mention that from ancient times to the present, women should not divide the fields.
How do you know that Tingfang hooked the corners of her mouth and said leisurely: "Then, learn the law of Kaiyuan and prohibit land trading?" 166 Reading Network
