Chapter 278: Yang Mou, Suppressing People with Force
The famous biologist Ah Er once said that a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest in South America, with a few occasional flaps of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.
Mr. Feng Yu, a well-known literati fighter, once said that when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
Anyway, that's what it means - when the public opinion position in the hands of the corrupt Confucians, village sages, and gentry was taken by Zhao Huan with the big killer of newspapers, these corrupt Confucians, village sages, and gentry lost their qualifications to confront Zhao Huan.
In particular, the inconspicuous four-level administrative restructuring and the expansion of social studies and the reform of the imperial examination system together sounded the prelude to the feudal dual monarchy that had been buried since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"At the court meeting on the third day of the fourth lunar month, Jinshang said: It is very expensive and hurts the people; It is very cheap and hurts the peasants. If the people are injured, they will be scattered, and if the peasants are injured, the country will be poor. In order to protect the survival interests of the people in the famine year, the imperial court decided to build a permanent position and a reserve warehouse. The position is closed to protect the price of grain, and the reserve position is to prepare for the disaster year. ”
"Today said: the permanent position and reserve warehouse must be popularized to the township, and each township should have at least one permanent position and one reserve warehouse. At the latest, it will reach a full position before the autumn and winter of the fifth year of Jingkang. To this end, the present will allocate 10 million guan from the internal treasury to purchase grain. ”
"Jin Shang said: In the future, all localities in the Great Song Dynasty should often inspect the Changping Warehouse, and ensure that the grain in the Changping Warehouse is sufficient, and if any place dares to be empty, it must be the head of the official in charge."
"Today said: Jiaozhi has been away from the Central Plains for a long time, and now it is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and its land can be two or three crops a year, and it will be the new granary of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. The people of the Great Song Dynasty could go to the land reclamation, and now they will allocate the necessary money from the internal funds to buy cattle, seeds and furniture, and give them to the people free of charge. If the whole family goes, each household can get a hundred yuan of settlement money and a yard. ”
"Imagami means ......"
The old boy read the news in the newspaper one by one, took the reward from a man dressed as a butler next to him, and then left the private room. One of the people sitting in the private room couldn't hold back any longer, "Bang! The thud slammed on the table, shaking the cups and dishes on the table.
Except for this one who pounded the table to vent, the faces of the other people in the private room were not very good-looking.
The old man sitting on the throne waved his hand, and let the waiting maid next to him go out before he said in a deep voice: "You all know what's going on, right?" ”
Several gentry-looking old men in the room nodded, and one of them snorted coldly: "What a trick to draw salary, what a good one!" ”
"First measured the land, then moved the people out, and then released the rumor that the capital would be moved to Shuntianfu, and now there is another Jiaozhi. Hehe, I'm really still running for the field system. ”
"The old man has reduced the rent to forty percent, but now no one is willing to come to the tenant rent, do you want the old man to farm by himself?"
The old man's words fell, and the atmosphere in the private room became more silent, and everyone present felt a sense of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox-
One of the people present is counted as one, and the least in his hand must have hundreds or thousands of acres of land, and the more one is really a thousand acres of fertile land.
No one cultivates.
Since when did the strange situation of land and uncultivated people begin?
Did the people present think hard? The discovery of this strange situation began after the current official family personally conquered Taiyuan and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Who didn't think of that? The Jin soldiers who can besiege Bianjing are so vulnerable? What people didn't expect was that those Chefan slaves in Xijin Mansion actually surrendered without a fight? also took the initiative to kill all the golden people in the city. This was followed by Fengshengzhou, Xijingfu, and then Xixia...... Cochin ......
How do fools know? What the official family said in the newspaper about reclamation? In fact, it was simply the official family who led the troops to slaughter both Xixia and Jiaozhi, and then let these mud-legged people go over to take over the farming-
Who has ever seen a wasteland sprinkled with seeds? The Sishanu and the cochin monkeys sprinkled all the seeds!
So, even if Zhao Huan never proposed any Juntian system? The folk of the Great Song Dynasty "The rich Tian Lianqianmo? The situation of the poor has no place to stand" has also become easily solved.
What's even more unexpected? The official family actually has to take out the money to buy farming cattle, buy seeds, buy farm tools, and stick them upside down to those mud legs!
Buy seeds for mud legs, buy farming cattle, buy farm tools, and pay for settling-in? And the benefit of three years of tax exemption and five years of halving? The imperial court is vigorously governing rivers and building roads? Even though those mud-legged people were unwilling to migrate to Western Xia and Jiaozhi, there were still Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai...... There are too many places in the entire Great Song Dynasty where these mud-legged people can migrate!
This kind of thing is like eating crabs, as long as the first one tastes sweet, the second and third will appear.
Then there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to rent the land.
Rent reduction?
How can you lower your rent? Isn't there still a rent? Besides? Even if you don't collect rent? Is that also rented land? What does it have to do with Lao Tzu?
Although migrating to other places to open up wasteland is considered to be uprooted, but from now on, there is no need to pay rent, and the land has become one's own? Fools go so far as to continue to rent tenants!
Then, these lands are quite a bit of a chicken for these gentry here-
It took a lot of effort to get the land in hand, but now it is facing a situation where there is no one to rent, and there is no one to plant it, and no one to cultivate it means that these lands cannot create value at all.
It's a pity to discard it.
And when everyone reacts to something is wrong and tries to fix this fucking situation, they find that the whole situation is completely out of control.
Xungui and Jiangmen unknowingly lost control of the army, and the so-called "Haoqiang" in the local area also lost control of the Xiang army.
Now, even the big killer of public opinion has fallen into the hands of the officials.
As for the new policies such as "regular closing" and "reserve warehouse" proposed by Zhao Huan, it made these village sages and gentry sitting like pins and needles-
If it is really as Zhao Huan requested, vigorously roll out the regular liquidation and reserve warehouses in every township, the situation of the grain and the peasants hurt the peasants in the past years will be greatly improved or even gone forever.
At that time, it will be the village sages and gentry present who will be injured - if they can't make money, then they will be lost!
It's just that all of this is an upright conspiracy, unabashedly oppressing people with the general momentum, so that people have no room for resistance at all!
The old man sitting on the throne saw that the atmosphere in the private room was extremely dull, and suddenly laughed and said, "Everyone, why are you so pessimistic? ”
"As everyone knows, it is okay if the law does not prohibit it."
