Chapter 370: The Disadvantages of Land
Qin Wan knew that the saint was in a good mood, and responded with a smile: "Follow my grandfather's teachings, I will definitely do three provinces a day to improve myself-"
The sage saw that she deserved to be generous, and he was not reluctant at all, and Qin Wan was already a broad-hearted person, and what he saw today did not mean to 'meddle' in the government, so he couldn't help but move his mind, took out a copy of the recital, and said, "Take a look." ”
Qin Wan forcibly concealed the 'agitation' movement, tried his best to restrain the trembling of his hands, and respectfully accepted the twist. understood that during this period of time, he did not 'interfere' in the government, concentrated on running the school, gave generous rewards, and did not punish people much, and his actions were all seen by the saint, and he was finally recognized by the saint and was willing to teach her how to manage the government wholeheartedly.
This 'excited' mood only lasted until the moment she opened the fold, and when her eyes fell on the black and white letters, her expression became stern.
Kuang Min stood aside respectfully, but in fact, he looked at the six roads and listened to the eight directions.
Today's conversation should not let the third person know that Kuang Min is not counted, because he is no longer a person, but a lonely soul destined to follow the saint!
The content is very concise, but it is extremely shocking that Lijing 'door' got the order of the sage, all over the four directions, probing the situation of the field, and found that the number of fields granted in the narrow township is insufficient, as for the rich township, the amount of Yongye field is enough, and the number of fields granted is sufficient, and there is no household.
In other words, there are not many fields that the imperial court can grant.
In just a few hundred words, Qin Wan read it dozens of times, and the sage did not urge it, but waited quietly.
After a long time, Qin Wanfang put down the fold, took a deep breath, and sighed: "The days are too peaceful, but there are such bad points. ”
Great Xia implements the uniform field system, why? Because of the war, many fields were wasted, and the imperial court needed to encourage the people to reclaim the land, so there was a system of 80 acres of land for Ding Nan, 20 acres for Yongye, 40 acres for old men and disabled people, and 30 acres for widows and concubines.
At the time of the founding of the country, there was no shortage of people with extraordinary intelligence, who had long considered the possibility of peace in the country and the multiplication of the population. Therefore, he did not have the qualifications to give titles to slaves and maids, tribes, etc., because he hoped that the country would not fall into a process where there was no land to divide, but he never thought that the three emperors of Great Xia would strive to rule the country with "fine", the country would be peaceful, and the people would recover, and the population that was originally destroyed in the war would rise back with a vigorous trend.
Of course, it is a good thing for people to grow, and for a country, the population is the largest and most basic wealth. But if the acres of land are not enough, it will be bad, you need to know that the imperial court collects taxes, and it is completely according to the population! In other words, it doesn't matter if the land you are allocated is 10 acres or 80 acres, as long as you are not old or disabled, you yourself need to pay 80 acres of tax!
Although Great Xia is light on taxes, no matter how light the taxes are, there are many people who can't make something out of nothing. If this goes on for a long time, those who cannot survive may abandon their family business and flee to the mountains; or sell themselves into slavery and become slaves and maidservants of large families. Especially the latter, isn't it how the population in the hands of the previous dynasty family came from?
The sage smiled and looked at Qin Wan, Qin Wan was silent for a long time, clenched his hands, and said slowly: "There are fewer and fewer teaching fields, not all because of the increase in population. "The hands and feet of the big families have played a big role in this.
Hearing her say this, the saint's heart was reassured.
It is the norm for the family to expand its seclusion, that is, the Han Shi, once he becomes an official, there are many people who come to take refuge, and they would rather be slaves and maids, but also exempt from taxes, so that they can take a breath and continue to live. The DPRK and China understand that there are more people, and everyone knows this truth, but no one will say, why? Because of land annexation, it is precisely the officials who get the most benefits.
Once this matter is broken, it is tantamount to going against the entire officialdom, from Zai Fu to Xu officials, no one can tolerate it. With the power of just one person, how can you defeat the monstrous water of the 'waves'?
Qin Wan thought for a while before saying this result, one proves that she dares to speak, and the other proves that she is calm.
Those who dare to say may not dare to do it, but those who find out the disadvantages after careful consideration have the best determination to solve it. For the ruler of a country, calmness and sharpness are seemingly contradictory, but in fact they are indispensable.
If it is too sharp, it will be reckless, and it is easy to compensate the country; Being too cautious is twilight, and the time has been wasted.
The current situation is not so bad, but the sage has glimpsed the future from the present fields. In another twenty or thirty years, at most forty or fifty years, the situation will be very severe. The people couldn't live as slaves and maids, or as rogues, and the court couldn't collect taxes, so they raised 'fattening' large families, especially families...... This does not bode well. At that time, perhaps a civil 'unrest' can turn into a catastrophe. Even if it is not reduced to the end, the deterrence of the royal family is not as good as before, and the rivers are declining, and there is no longer the authority it has today.
Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the ant'hill'. When the situation is not very strict, the sage can turn a blind eye, but he must warn the descendants, so that Qin Wan can understand as soon as possible, and he can prepare.
Qin Wan noticed the sage's gaze, thought for a while, and then said, "If you throw out the strategy first, no matter what, you will be attacked by a group." For the sake of today, we should gradually weaken the forces of the various schools of thought, and at a certain time, we should reinvigorate the policy of reform. ”
Once the land is reformed, it will inevitably shake the world, and not only the family, but also the nobles and bureaucrats from the poor 'family' will not stand on the side of the royal family. The common people are easily fooled, and everyone will feel that this is a troublesome matter, which is not good for them. If the central government's policy continues, I don't know how many drawbacks will be added to the local government...... These are all questions to consider.
The sage understood Qin Wan's thoughts, and since she built the 'girl' school, he knew that this granddaughter wanted to start from the cold 'door'. Once the officials from the Han 'Sect' were born, most of them married 'female' disciples, and then went out to be officials. In another ten or twenty years, most of the world's peach and plum will have some connection with her.
This is very much in line with the interests of the Qin royal family, even if the saints attach great importance to the important ministers, they do not want the sons to recognize Zai Fu as a teacher. Even if it can't completely change this situation, it is good to have other 'door' paths, but the first half of the sentence is ...... The sage glanced at Qin Wan deeply, Qin Wan was indifferent, and there was even a little smile in his eyes.
Kuang Min couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.
The county lord of Guangling really killed 'sex' is not small!
Obviously, these two old men who have gone through the world have already understood Qin Wan's intention to use the battle for the throne to cut off some of the big clans, weaken the opposition, and find the right time to carry out land reform.
If it is an ordinary thing, there are few people involved in the 'life' of the family after all, and once the monarch has done it, he will be criticized, which is not conducive to the rule. There is only one thing, no matter how many people are killed, as long as it is involved, even if it is the extermination of the clan, it will be regarded as a matter of course by the world, and it is a matter of course, that is, the battle for the throne!
The sage weakened the crown and destroyed the southern kingdom in one fell swoop, and he was the governor of Yangzhou for many years, he killed people himself, and the people who ordered to be killed were countless, and the killing 'sex' was naturally not small. If you are someone else, you will not make up your mind to kill your son neatly, especially the old man. Therefore, when Qin Wan said such profound words, instead of getting angry, the sage said very calmly: "You are not afraid. ”
The descendants of the royal family, even if they hate each other so much that they dripble blood, and hope that the other party will die the next moment, they must be brothers and brothers on the surface, and they will be harmonious. lest his murderous intentions be discovered, he can kill his brother today, and he can kill his father tomorrow, so he will be tabooed by the emperor. There are very few Qin Wan like this, although he didn't say it explicitly, but ...... That's what it means to be exposed.
"If I were a man, I wouldn't be like that." Qin Wan was not afraid, and said positively, "Even if I am a man, he will be unwilling, not to mention that I am a 'female' child?" ”
She was not wrong.
Among Qin Ke's sons, Qin Fang was useless, and Qin Jing was the only one who was older. Comparing his heart to his heart, how can Qin Jing, as the "eldest son", be willing to bow down to the young and ignorant, or the younger brother of the drooping child, or the younger sister who should not have set foot in the court as a 'female'?
He didn't want to, he couldn't, he didn't want to, so he would do it. In other words, if you don't do it early, when Qin Wan is full-fledged, when Qin Ke's concubines grow up, he really won't have a chance.
Prince Huaixian is the concubine of Queen Mu, the heir of the country, and because he is too young, he is disagreed by several brothers, not to mention that Qin Ke's young sons are all concubines?
This dispute is impossible to resolve, Qin Wan knows, and Qin Jing also understands. As for those who were scrambling to bet, they could see it more clearly, so Qin Wan added: "Even if he is only the prince of Cangwu County, there are countless people who are willing to send charcoal to him." ”
Just because he's a man.
Although the sage was not very comfortable listening to it, he also knew that these were the truths, as his son-in-law, the younger brothers and the favored concubines were still restless and rebelled several times, not to mention the situation of Qin Ke's heirs. What's more, Qin Wan is the person he chose to assist Qin Ke, and even the next generation of Qin Ke's emperors, if those people still want to come to Qin Jing's side, wouldn't they just be for the glory and wealth, ignoring his intentions?
Thinking about it like this makes me feel a lot better.
The change of royal family is inevitably bloody, and Guy is too attractive and easy to remember. Qin Wan has this heart, it is better than being stupid to think that everyone is a good person and has no threat, but he is calculated by a "harmless" dog.
Thinking of the little son who was separated from their father-son relationship by the villain, and thus died in vain, the saint's heart was sour, and he no longer cared about Qin Wan's calculations, but felt that she was much more capable than Qin Ke.
This maintenance, which can already be regarded as eccentric, Kuang Min has accumulated good words over time, and he has contributed a lot.
Qin Wan broke the rules and brought Ji Qing 'Lu', Kuang Min was naturally happy in his heart, he understood that the Ji family in Xin'an did not produce any talents, and the marriage with King Wei was also known to everyone who should know, and the future was very dark. Qin Wan justifiably mentioned Ji Qing's 'dew', and Ji Qing's 'dew' would naturally take care of his mother's family a little, and the dead chess would be alive.
Besides, just looking at Qin Wan's putting Ji Qing's 'Lu' in the 'female' study, you know that she doesn't look like she wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, her family's future is dependent, and the character of the backer is worth guaranteeing, Kuang Min naturally wants to spare no effort to help Qin Wan
