Chapter 275: Another historical precedent
In fact, Wei Xiang has a lot of feelings.
It's only been a few years!
Seven years ago, the old Lu family still needed the Wei family to send 500 guards to guard it, or Lu Wu brought the family's force to pay for it, and I don't know if the family will still be there after coming back.
At that time, the old Lu family was miserable!
Lu Wu pieced together and even pulled out ten soldiers.
still used some technology to exchange a group of people with the old Wei family.
Otherwise, even if he wants to accept the endowment, he is actually not even qualified to be a gunner.
It's only been seven years, and the old Lu family has developed to this extent?
Wei Xiang didn't need to deliberately inquire about anything, and many of the listeners would basically lose their authenticity on the way.
Many people see that the old Lu family has developed so rapidly, and more than eighty percent of them ...... Among them, most of the Qing families and the middle nobles who are not bad in strength feel that the old Lu family will have a big deal sooner or later.
It's not as good as those families of the old Lu family?
Honestly put on an expression of envy and jealousy, and pay attention to wiping your saliva.
The reason why they were not optimistic about the old Lu family was that Lu Wu was too hungry to eat from the population.
The old Lu family originally had a population of seven or eight hundred?
After Lü Wu married the Zhao, Han and Wei clans, it increased to more than 10,000.
Later, he got the "yin" land and received nearly 10,000 people from the "yin" land.
To some extent, the growth of these populations is normal, that is, there will not be much worry.
The main reason why the old Lu family was not favored was that Lu Wu bought a large number of slaves and captured a large number of prisoners of war on the battlefield.
Lu Wu released a small number of slaves at the beginning, but in fact, it was known, and the reaction was not too great.
Later, he would free thousands or even nearly 10,000 slaves at a time.
It's not that no one wants to trouble the old Lu family, it's just that something bigger has happened, and it involves those families who want to find trouble.
After dragging it out again and again, the family that could continue to make trouble with Lu Wu chose to stop fighting, and if they wanted to continue to make trouble, they found that they were no longer at the same level as Lu Wu.
This is very uncomfortable and helpless!
In recent years, there are more slaves in a family, and it is natural that there are hidden dangers, but the hidden dangers are actually not so big.
After all, there have been cases of the head or member of a family being killed by slaves, but there has never been an incident of a slave riot that swept the way.
For there has never been a slave revolt that had a great effect.
Who would take slaves seriously?
They thought that the reason why the old Lu family would be in trouble was that Lu Wu repeatedly released slaves, feeling that he was losing his own property and offending the entire aristocratic class.
Now no one is bothering the old Lu family, just because they can't find a chance.
Who made it smooth sailing after Lu Wu's career?
It's really hard to find a chance to make trouble.
They are waiting for the day when Lu Wu is unlucky, and they will definitely see the right time to bite it.
"Xiang, have you persuaded Wu many times?" Wei Jiang was referring to the freeing of slaves.
Wei Xiang didn't answer? Just quietly looking into the distance.
Where Lü Wu is freeing slaves? Hand over each of the identity cards representing freedom.
The person who took the bamboo plaque knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Wu excitedly.
Those who are free? The next moment immediately run to the side? They are waiting to be registered, behind those who have also just been freed? Confirm that the people who will still be in the old Lu family in the future are just becoming subjects? No longer as a slave.
Do they record their names? They will be allocated all kinds of basic necessities and utensils, and even have their own arable land.
Of course, the old Lu family did not give them the land for or for free.
In fact, how many acres of cultivation will a certain person be responsible for in the future? The output is seven or three points.
Seventy percent of the family? They can leave thirty percent.
It's a whole new model!
In the past, the work of the people was work, and they lived, ate, drank, and clothed...... And so on, and many other aspects depend on whether the Lord's family is gracious or not, that is, whether it will be rewarded or not, and how much it will be rewarded.
Lü Wu implemented a "tenant" system.
Land my family's? It's just renting it to you to farm.
Seven out of ten is ruthless!
It's just far stronger than the fact that the subjects can't do anything, and it's definitely an unprecedented progress.
But then again? If Lu Wu hadn't engaged in the "tenant system", he would have waited until the Warring States to be brought out? In the beginning, the tax was actually about the same.
The most ruthless in history is the Qin State, and the percentage of taxes collected is 66%? That's two-thirds.
"Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicles": Half of the Thai endowment.
Yan Shigu Note: Thai half? Two out of three.
The rest of the countries look like maybe the tax is quite low? Just don't forget that there are all kinds of miscellaneous taxes.
Traditionally, tax collection has not been determined by the government, but by how it is implemented.
Many regulations only charge 10%, but the state collects 10%, and the officials below can't stand it from adding some layer by layer, and the small officials who go to collect taxes continue to increase it.
In the end, how much to dedicate, never look at the regulations, look at the execution.
Lu Wu drew seven out of ten, and he didn't feel weak at all.
The land is cultivated with the family's resources.
When people eat cows and horses, they also consume family resources.
The land is developed and then distributed.
It's not about giving a piece of wasteland to people to reclaim from scratch.
Isn't it?
Furthermore, he felt that he was a good person, a good person in the true sense of the word.
Without him opening this "door", the general public would have to wait for another hundred or two hundred years.
Of course, the samurai class was not counted.
At this stage, except for the nobles who have their own land, only the samurai who are not nobles are more like nobles have their own land.
In the various vassal states of the Zhou royal family, the output of the land under the name of the warriors, even if there is only a grain of rice, is their own, and they do not have to pay taxes at all, they only pay taxes.
The Chu side is more miserable, whether it is the nobles or the samurai, no, there is no class ......of warriors in the Chu State, they are called "tribes", not only to pay taxes, but also to pay taxes.
Wei Jiang understood what Lu Wu was doing, and said with a dumbfounded face: "Wu is not afraid of everyone's criticism, and even attacks him in groups?" ”
By "people", he refers specifically to the aristocratic class.
"Wu is a newcomer, he has developed too much at a few years, and he has no choice but to do it." Wei Xiang also understood, and subconsciously excused Lu Wu.
As a smart person, Wei Xiang felt that he needed to dig deeper.
Maybe you can find the rapid development of the old Lu family, but it is the secret of the family's prosperity?
Wei Jiang asked the others and said, "Why did Shi Kuo come?" ”
The two of them had already seen Shilu standing not far from Lu Wu's side, and they could see that Shilu was full of curiosity about what Lu Wu was doing.
Lao Lu's family and Lao Fan's family are neighbors.
Logically speaking, it's normal for a taxi to come to the door.
What seems abnormal is that Lao Lu's family has been neighbors with Lao Fan's family for almost five years, but Shilu is the first time to come to Lao Lu's house as a guest.
Actually, the priest came to buy equipment.
After he entered Lu Wu's fiefdom, he was shocked by what he saw and heard, and after the deal was negotiated, he simply chose to stay, and he had been staying with the old Lu family for nearly ten days.
In the beginning, he just walked around and looked around, mainly observing everything that the "yin" could see with his eyes.
He felt that he had seen everything he should see, and he began to look like a curious baby, and when he had the opportunity, he followed Lu Wu, and asked if he didn't understand something.
Whether Lu Wu wants to answer or not depends entirely on his mood, or whether he can answer or not.
Normally, Lü Wu is still very willing to solve the doubts of the scholars, especially some matters related to the new system.
It can't be only the old Lu family itself that is special, and it seems to be a loss to be able to fool a Qing family to join the reform of the system, but it is a good thing.
Shi Kuo's interest in Lu Wu's formulation of some systems was great, super great!
In fact, Lao Fan's family was born as a "judge" in the Jin Kingdom, and has always held the position of "judge".
The so-called "judges" are the justices.
Because of the relationship between the ancestral profession, the old Fan family is no stranger to the formulation of the system, and even many laws of the Jin Kingdom were formulated and promulgated and implemented by the old Fan family.
It has been a long time since the old Fan family has been able to get hold of a new system, and even the revision of the old law has completely stopped.
How can the ancestral craft be lost!?
I want to continue to operate the ancestral craft, but I don't have a new brain.
It's very uncomfortable!
This time when he came to Lao Lu's house, Shi Kuo discovered too many new things, and pondered that he was finally not afraid that his ancestors would climb out of the coffin board and strangle himself, and there was hope that he would figure out a new enforceable law.
That's right, the first thing he thought of was not how many people Lu Wu would offend by doing that.
He remembered the cooperation between his ancestors and Zhao Yu and Zhao Dun, and hoped to repeat the glory of the "judges" at that time.
Finding that the two Wei brothers were coming, Lü Wu handed over the rest of the work to his son Lü Yang.
Can't work at the age of three?
It also depends on who you're working for.
There are a few retainers to help him, and Lu Yang just brushes his face.
"Woo, Wu."
"Jiang, Xiang."
The four of them saluted each other in a very aristocratic manner.
Lu Wu didn't just know that Wei Jiang and Wei Xiang were coming.
If you really wait to see the above, you will know that the old Lu family's acquaintances and retainers should be hung on poles to dry.
Whoever comes, it must be before entering their own fiefdom, someone will convey the news first.
This is the basic operation of every family.
It is easy to decide what kind of etiquette to adopt if you want to hide or see.
In addition, whoever wants to visit whoever will definitely send someone to inform them first, and will carry out a surprise attack if they have bad intentions.
Although he was already very familiar with him, and his friendship was extraordinary, Lu Wu still couldn't entertain Wei Jiang and Wei Xiang on such an occasion and take them to the main mansion.
"Saying goodbye to the two-year-old, everything I saw and heard was amazing." Wei Jiang couldn't hide his words and told what he had seen and heard on the road.
Wei Xiang was more often observing Shi Kuo, and he couldn't understand how Shi Kuo's eyes could be so eager when he looked at Lu Wu.
The relationship between the old Lu family and the old Fan family did not begin today.
Lu Wu's acquaintance with Shilu was also a few years ago.
Therefore, Wei Xiangcai would not think in the direction of what Shi Kui had about Lu Wu's physical thoughts.
He remembered the origin of the old Fan family, combined with what he saw and heard along the way, and soon figured out what Shi Kui was gluttonous with Lu Wu.
Old Fan's family is greedy for Lu Wu's brain!
It's not about picking it up and gnawing on it.
It is Lu Wu who has too many wonderful ideas, especially in the formulation of the system and the execution of the system.
Wei Xiang asked Shi Kuo and said, "Fan Bo is not harmed?" ”
Just one sentence, Shi Kuo's face has completely changed!
