In a feudal dynastic society, private ownership of land is its foundation, and if we want to completely solve the problem of land annexation, only by overthrowing the feudal dynasty and establishing a democratic and free social state can we completely solve this problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shu Hongxuan is naturally not stupid enough to think that he can rely on his own strength to overthrow the feudal dynasty in one fell swoop and realize a democratic and free society.

This kind of thing is much easier to daydream.

History always has striking parallels.

The bureaucratic system of the Bactria Dynasty was still inherited from the previous dynasty, and the cabinet was retained, and the imperial power had not yet reached its peak.

If Shu Hongxuan wanted to, he could also be a magic stick, predicting that the cabinet would be abolished in hundreds of years, the control of imperial power would reach its peak, and all power would be concentrated in one person.

However, even if it is really said hundreds of years later, it has nothing to do with today's Shu Hongxuan.

People have to live in the moment.

Emperor Chengde finally couldn't help but stretch out the butcher's knife to land annexation, which was nothing more than a matter of taxation, and the annual tax of the treasury did not increase but decreased, which touched the interests of Emperor Chengde.

The king of a dignified country actually wanted to build a palace but was stopped by the courtiers, on the grounds that the treasury was insufficient, how could he bear it?

Emperor Chengde didn't want to endure it, so he couldn't bear it, and the palace trial asked him to raise the butcher's knife for the first time.

If you can get a good solution among the students, it will naturally be hello, I am good, everyone, if not, the problem will be handed over to the cabinet to solve.

It is natural to eat the king's luck and bear the king's worries.

Emperor Chengde's intentions were very clear to the cabinet ministers present with a slight turn of their minds, so they looked at the students who were present to answer the questions, and their eyes were also full of sympathy and pity.

If there is really a solution to the problem of land annexation, then it will definitely touch the interests of the upper class, no matter which student really comes up with a solution, if it is really used by Emperor Chengde, this student will become the sworn enemy of many high-ranking families.

Whether he was appreciated by Emperor Chengde or not, he was destined to not go far in his career.

It's a pity that this is a palace trial question, if it's just a general talk, or if you don't know why, as the person who finally decides the top three rankings, Emperor Chengde is angry, and it is very likely that he will not take any of them.

This kind of willful thing, Emperor Chengde really does it without the slightest psychological burden.

It's just a pity for this group of students, whether they can perceive the king's thoughts and whether there is a good solution has become the key to whether they can leap into the dragon gate.

If you answer well, you will be appreciated by Emperor Chengde, and then you will be burdened with the anger of almost all the big families, and if you can't answer, your career path will be cut off.

Among the cabinet ministers present, two more people were full of worries, and the direction of their eyes was Shu Hongxuan, who was sitting in the first row in the middle.

Zhou Jingming and Xu Dehai are both one of the cabinet ministers, Xu Dehai is also a disciple of Zhou Daru, the second in the middle of the master, and as soon as Emperor Chengde's palace trial asked came out, they both focused their attention on the little junior brother.

Both of them were a little worried in their hearts, they both knew that the little junior brother usually had a lot of wonderful ideas, and this time the question would not be difficult for him, I was afraid that he would say something amazing.

Shu Hongxuan's speed of grinding ink is unhurried, and he still follows his own habits, while grinding ink, he also straightens out his thinking.

As a fellow nobleman, he will naturally not be stupid enough to touch the interests of the powerful, touching the interests of the powerful is touching his own interests, he is not a saint, and he can't do things that sacrifice his life for righteousness.

The only thing he can protect is the small family first and then everyone.

The issue of land annexation is difficult to solve, and even if the imperial court seriously investigates it, there is no way to do it.

Because this is a big environment in the world.

Under the imperial power, there is the suzerain.

As long as it is not a big crime of rebellion, many times, the family is a word hall, and the suzerainty can often decide the life and death of the clan, and the family decides to send a certain clan girl to the family temple Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime, and even the imperial power cannot stop it, because without this power, this is a family matter, unless the imperial power is used to let the clan girl override the family, in other words, unless the clan girl becomes the imperial concubine, she cannot resist the family's decision.

Baixing takes filial piety as the first, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the chains used by the imperial power to tie the people, and they cannot be moved.

Even if the imperial court knew that there were many high-ranking families and carried out a large number of land transactions in private, they could not grasp the slightest trick, because as long as they put the private land they bought on the public land, it would become a clan field for worshipping ancestors.

This is the sacrificial field used by future generations to honor their ancestors, and if a filial piety word is smashed down, who can make half a sentence?

In this case, it would be better to take another approach, the issue of land annexation is nothing more than a tax issue, and as long as the tax problem is solved, everything will be much easier.

Shu Hongxuan picked up the pen, wrote the names of the three generations and the year of origin on the rice paper, and then began to write hard.

opened trade routes, imposed heavy taxes, and allowed merchants to be qualified for the imperial examination; Re-measure the land, verify the amount of land occupied by each household, and collect taxes according to the amount and fertility of the land, without exception to the magnates and landlords, and re-measure it every ten years; Assign the land to the mu tax, and the service is collected by the household, which will be returned to the land and collected by the mu; Forced labor was changed to hired labor, and the imperial court hired people to serve on their behalf, or they paid silver to serve on their behalf......

As long as the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce are stopped, the trade routes are opened widely, and the carrots that can be allowed for the imperial examination are dropped in front of the merchants, even the imposition of heavy taxes will not be able to stop the enthusiasm of the merchants to pay taxes and silver.

As for the re-measurement of land, it is to make it easier to collect taxes, and the obvious manifestation of land annexation is that the number of acres of land in the name of the magnates has remained unchanged for many years, which is the reason why the treasury has not increased or decreased.

The service is returned to the land, and the mu is levied; Forced labor was changed to hired service, and the imperial court hired people to serve on behalf of them, or paid silver to serve on behalf of them, which was the unification of service, and it was difficult for officials at all levels to use their names skillfully. As a result, the evils were cleared up, so that the taxes tended to be stable, and the common people were able to settle down for a while.

These actions did not fundamentally touch the interests of the magnates, even if the land measured by the magnates was ten or a hundred times more than in the past, the imperial court would not take it back, but would only collect taxes according to the amount of land, and also changed the method of servitude.

Shu Hongxuan dared to write like this, because Zhou Jingming had told him in detail about the emperor's actions, from which one or two can be inferred.

Emperor Chengde has already raised the butcher's knife, so if there is no good solution, most of the country will re-verify the population and measure the land.

This is because there is another system in addition to the uniform land system, that is, the land restriction order, which stipulates the amount of land owned by each class, and everyone can imagine it with their toes, and no one will honestly obey the land restriction order.

If you really have to wait for Emperor Chengde to raise the butcher's knife, all the land occupied by these landlords will be spit out to Emperor Chengde.

That's the most heart-wrenching thing that hurts the liver.
