Chapter 027: New Deal
"Next! Hebei Province will implement several major new policies. Yang Tong went through the plan he had set up in his mind, and then said: "First of all, land reform! ”
"Throughout history, I have found that the core issue of every change of dynasty is land, at the beginning of the rise of each dynasty, the land will be distributed to the hands of the people, and then slowly annexed to the hands of some people, the people have no land, which is equivalent to no way to live, so this dynasty is replaced by another new dynasty. In short, each dynasty was in fact a repetitive distribution of land, centralization, and monopoly...... Therefore, the issue of our nationality is the issue of land. ”
The crowd was completely shocked!
These words shocked them and stunned them!
His Royal Highness the King of Qin actually blamed the rise and fall of the dynasty on the dispersion and concentration of land?
They think they are familiar with history books and politics, but they have never considered the development and future of an empire from this perspective! This is not to say that they are inferior to Yang Tong, but the gap in knowledge for more than a thousand years. Even if they read more than 10,000 books, how can they compare to Yang Tong, who directly grabbed the experience of countless successful people? Therefore, Yang Tong takes it for granted, and it is definitely an earth-shattering quote in this era.
Yang Gongren's beard trembled with excitement, and he praised: "'The problem of our clan is the land problem', this is ...... Not at all! ”
"In the case of land, there must be extremely strict laws, and anyone who buys land shall be punished by death."
Yang Tong explained: "The buyers of land are generally rich people, and if the people don't sell it, he will increase the price tenfold and hundredfold... Many short-sighted people can't resist the temptation of a moment, so they sell their land and mortgage it! When the money was spent, I found that I had become a landless outcast! As a result, rumors of complaining about the court and complaining about the magistrates appeared. When the landless and displaced people gather together, a rebellion arises. So, it is not the seller who is to be prohibited, but the buyer. As long as the people have land, even in famine and disaster years, they can make do with it. If you live, no one will rebel at the risk of being killed. ”
"Makes sense, it makes so much sense!" Wei Zheng had an excited expression on his face.
This His Royal Highness the King of Qin can not only see through the world, but also know people's hearts...
Kong Yingda pondered for a while and said: "At present, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and after the distribution according to the system of the imperial court, there are still a lot of good fields left, and it is a pity to let them be idle and barren. ”
"Nope! No! No! The people will! Yang Shidao said three words in a row, and then said that Wang Shichong had harmed Henan Province, and then said: "Because of Wang Shichong, there is a large influx of disaster victims every day, and the population will become more and more. ”
Kong Yingda stopped talking.
"Your Highness, can you divide some of the victims in the Bohai Sea?" Gao Yaxian sneered.
The others had the same expressions.
Now there are a large number of disaster victims in Qinghe County, Zhao County, and Boling, and they can prosper in a short period of time. Therefore, the other Taishou were extremely envious and jealous of Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, and Huangfu Wuyi.
"The next step is to fill up Boling first!" Yang Tong saw that everyone was disappointed, so he came up with an idea: "But you can't wait for the rabbit, you can set up a recruitment point on the south bank of the Yellow River and use ships to transport it to the north, don't you have this person?" ”
"Got it!"
Jijun Taishou Pei Renji, Bohai Taishou Gao Yaxian...... Immediately smiled, their territory is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and they have a natural advantage over other counties. However, the county guards of Zhuo County, Shanggu, Hengshan, and Wuyang are not worried, they can't get the victims of Henan Province, and they can do it through the military capital, Feihu Mountain, Jingcheng City, and Fukou County! It is said that there are quite a lot of victims there.
Yang Tong smiled happily when he saw that he was too guarded with red eyes and wanted to rob people, and then said the second major reform: "Second, from this year, the tax system of apportionment into mu will be implemented!" ”
"Spread into acres?"
Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Yang Shidao, Kong Yingda and others looked at each other.
They are all resourceful people in the world, and they have a very strong understanding of new things. "Spread into the acre", a new term that only existed in later generations, made them a little confused, but as long as they roughly understood Yang Tong's meaning through the words, their expressions were shocked.
Looking at the expressions of the five people, Yang Tong smiled secretly, feeling a little complacent, no matter how they got in history, they could only look like this in the face of this advanced knowledge, so they stopped talking and let them digest it by themselves.
Everyone is not an idle person, and it took less than a moment to straighten out the relationship between the two countries, Yang Gongren said: "In addition to the field tax and forced labor, there is also a tax collected according to the capitation. At the end of each dynasty, the land annexation was serious, resulting in a large number of landless people, but all dynasties and dynasties ignored the actual situation, and still levied Ding tax on the people, which is to force the poor to death, and the poor have no choice but to rebel. ”
Everyone nodded their heads, and this was indeed the case.
"Is this 'spread into acres' understandable in this way?" Yang Gongren thought for a while, and then said: "That is, the Ding tax is incorporated into the field endowment, and the policy of paying more for those with more land, paying less for less land, and not paying for those without land!" ”
"Very thorough!" Yang Tong praised it from the bottom of his heart, just literally in an instant, he ate through the 'paving into the acre', which is worthy of being one of the famous faces left in history!
"Compared with the constantly changing population, the land is always complete and stable, so it is more secure and applicable to the acre! Make taxes fairer and more reasonable. ”
Yang Tong glanced at everyone and said: "'Spreading the land into the mu' has six major benefits: first, it is more fair and reasonable, removes the heavy shackles of the poor, and alleviates social contradictions and conflicts; Second, the integration of taxation and taxation, reducing many cumbersome procedures, saving a lot of time for tax collectors; 3. Collect taxes on the basis of acres and proportions, and eradicate the opportunity for tax collectors to embezzle public funds and grain; Fourth, to incorporate conscription and taxation into the fields, so that the people could move freely, and increase their income by selling their labor, so as to promote the development of production and the prosperity of towns; Fifth, the incorporation of taxes into the fields means that there are more fields and more taxes to be paid, thus slowing down the process of land annexation; Sixth, to avoid the ...... of the great family of domestic slaves"
"The first five benefits are easy to understand, what is the explanation for avoiding the emergence of a great family?"
Everyone frowned.
I also feel depressed and frustrated, speaking of which they are all talented and famous, but now in front of Yang Tong, they are like a three-year-old baby, this is not clear and that is not clear. I feel very frustrated.
Yang Tong explained: "Today's family gate lords have countless slaves, and the slaves are not in the official register, and they do not pay taxes to the imperial court, but to the family gate lords. As a result, the taxes and servitude that should have been the imperial court fell into the pockets of the family gate valve, and if it accumulates for a long time, one by one the family and the gate valve will become the gate valve of the super family. With a little training of these slaves, they will become an army of thousands and dead soldiers! Thus became a source of social unrest. ”
"A man can hide, but a field cannot hide. Once the tax system of 'apportionment into the acre' is implemented, the object of taxation will change from the head to the land! Hiding one more person means that you have one more burden on yourself! Everyone has this heart, and there will be no such thing as tens of thousands of Tibetans, and in this way, there will be no great families and gate valves that can threaten the stability of the country. ”
The expressions of Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Yang Shidao, and Kong Yingda were completely shocked at the moment when Yang Tong finished expressing his meaning.
Yang Gongren shouted in a low voice: "This is the real weapon!" ”
"Based on this alone, we must continue to implement the 'paving into acres'!" Yang Shidao also exclaimed.
"Amazing, amazing!" Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he looked at Yang Tong and sighed: "The so-called genius, the prodigy and His Royal Highness have become a mess of mud compared to His Royal Highness. I am really fortunate to have His Royal Highness in Dasui. ”
"This is the real break and then stand, this is the great governance after the chaos!" Kong Yingda nodded again and again.
Others were also amazed.
"I'm talking on paper, how do I 'apportionment into the mu' and collect taxes? We still need to calculate them one by one. It would not be good if it would increase the burden on the people. Rao is thicker than the city wall, and Yang Tong also made everyone blush and flutter.
"Whoa!" Everyone answered!
"Third, the reform of the reward of the Lu! In the past, there was money, food, and cloth; Not to mention the complicated and troublesome distribution, it also wastes a lot of manpower and material resources, which will be replaced by money in the future; The reward is no longer the field, but the money! In this way, a new round of land annexation was avoided, and the birth of a new generation of great families was also inhibited! Officials and soldiers use their money to buy daily necessities, not only to truly hide their wealth from the people, but also to prosper business! ”
"Fourth, the establishment of a commercial law, the collection of commercial tax... anti-smuggling..."
"Fifth, the separation of powers among the executive, judicial, and law enforcement ... Set up a county imperial history, and set up a county-level criminal department..."
"Sixth, set up a school department, in charge of education, one scholar, two waiters... Doctor... Two schools in each county! Subjects have ......"
"Seventh, abolish the distinction between upper, middle and lower counties, and the rank and treatment of officials are average... In the future, there will only be Taishou, Tongshou, and Juncheng... Magistrate...... It's no longer a ...... of the county order and the county order."
“……”
The new policies that benefit the country and the people have directly made all the civil and military officers stunned and dumbfounded!
Yang Tong also knew that everyone couldn't remember it for a while, so he was prepared for this and gave everyone a new 'Hebei Provincial Governance Program' for them to digest slowly!
