Speaking of this, Jia Quan glanced at Huang Qiong and said: "What's more, according to the custom in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the prince became a vassal, he did not eat and was changed to grant land. After the title was reduced to General Fengguo, Yongyetian was taken back and changed to the Yulu system. According to the custom in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a general's salary for one year is only equivalent to a six-grade official. ”

"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the repeated battles in Longyou, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Lianghuai Zhulu, it was already white bones exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crying for thousands of miles, especially in Henan and Shanxi, which were almost ten rooms and nine empty. And Jiangnan, which was a wealthy land in the late Tang Dynasty, was still in the hands of the former Tang Dynasty. The DPRK and China are slumping every year, and they can't even meet the military expenses, let alone support the clan. ”

"The method of dividing the feudal domains formulated by the king of Guilin at that time certainly had the idea of solving the urgent need, but it also avoided the embarrassing situation that the previous dynasties paid most of the annual income of the clan because of the reproduction of the clan. If this approach is implemented consistently, it will be a good one. ”

But this system, although the three emperors of Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong are still barely maintained, was broken in the Xuanzong period. Xuanzong first broke the prince's domain, and Yongye Tian was not allowed to exceed 5,000 acres. At one time, he gave his second son Guangwang 10,000 acres of land, and allowed Guangwang to buy land by himself. When his fifth son, King Ye, became a vassal, he rewarded 20,000 acres of land from the famous mansion of Hebei. ”

"Instead of stopping King Guang's violation of the court-China system and raising the land rent to 50% of 7, he also issued a decree exempting the tax on the newly added land. As soon as this example was opened, the rest of the sects followed suit. Not only did they adopt all kinds of unscrupulous means to expand the land, but they also refused to pay taxes on the newly occupied land. ”

"In the reign of Emperor Lizong, Emperor Lizong was after the violent death of Emperor Duanzong, because Emperor Duanzong had no children, he was able to die as a brother and a brother, and he entered the throne as a prince. In order to suppress the criticism within the clan, especially several brothers. The clan was simply exempted from all taxes on the land occupied, and the Yongye field was changed to the land not to be recovered, and it was set as a permanent practice to take the opportunity to buy the clan. ”

As soon as this mouth was opened, the clans in various places were even more aggressively encroaching on people's land. These clans are not those landowners in the former Tang Dynasty, they are encroaching on the land, and the government dares to manage it. What's more, some of these clans also have the duties of inspectors and hundred officials. A piece of music is folded, and it is related to whether the official's official hat can be worn. ”

"Its tax is set by itself, and the maximum land rent stipulated by the imperial court shall not exceed forty percent, which has long been ignored at all. Fifty out of five is already a common phenomenon, and sixty out of ten or even sixty out of five is not a minority. These clans are intent on encroaching on people's land, and no one cares about it, and no one dares to take care of it. ”

"Those peasants who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, after the land is taken away. Either sell yourself to the prince's house as a long-term worker, or even a slave to farm land for these princes and clans. Either because they can't pay the rent of those princes, they can only come out and be a homeless person. ”

Although the imperial court has repeatedly issued decrees demanding that the displaced people return to their places of origin, it has even used officials and soldiers to forcibly repatriate them. But these displaced people have no land, what can they do when they return to their hometowns? Go back to those clans and continue to be tenants who don't even have enough to make a living except for seeds and grains in addition to the annual tenant rent? ”

"In addition to the general trend of the clan encroaching on the land, there are also officials who are the same as the common people, and now they are also extremely rotten. Officials at all levels, from the central center to the local level, are working together to make money in different ways. Don't talk about other places, just the best place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you don't give money to the government, you can't even do a small business. ”

"Now the people are in charge, and they don't dare to go to the government to fight a lawsuit, because even if they win, they will be bankrupt. If you don't feed the big and small officials in the yamen, even if you can win the lawsuit, you will lose. The officials rely on selling officials, and the fat and thin are clear and real. There are 30,000 guan in a seven-pin Zhixian county in Huaiyang area, and 50,000 guan in a Zhizhou in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"All kinds of money and food allocated by the household department, except for military salaries and salaries, are all stripped layer by layer. Historically, only 70 percent of the money and grain of the Ministry of Industry and River have been allocated, and the remaining 30 percent has been put into the pockets of officials. To repair the imperial tombs and palaces, the merchants who supply materials do not supply, and you don't need the best materials. The money and grain allocated to the government-run workshops in Zhulu have always been discounted by sixty percent. ”

"The Ministry of Rites is the poorest, and the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty have attached great importance to the imperial examination, so they dare not make money in the imperial examination. But as long as the ceremony is held, it is always the time for them to make money. For the big sacrifice, a sheep outside has three times of money, and the Ministry of Rites will have to pay thirty times as soon as it passes its hands. The Criminal Department is even more lawless, and how many of the prisoners who are executed in the autumn every year are substituted ghosts for the dead?

"As for the military department, the prince doesn't need me to talk about it. The Wuxuan Division and the Arsenal Division are rich, and they are both well-known in the DPRK and China. There is also the Imperial Historical Observatory that openly sells impeachment articles, and the impeachment of officials at every level is clear and real. There are 1,000 first- and second-grade officials, and the lowest magistrate also needs 100 yuan. Guozijian, a prison quota is open to three hundred yuan. ”

"The real Qingshui Yamen, except for some yamen without specific errands such as Sinong Temple and Hanlin Academy, there is no Qingshui Yamen in the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty at all. Even a special yamen like Qin Tianjian can make money from the rich businessmen of the people by selling good days and auspicious days. ”

"This is still the center, and it will be even more so when it gets to the place. The imperial court set a tax rate of ten taxes and one tax, and those governors and counties dared to receive eight taxes and one or even seven taxes. The state and county officials clearly know the real price, how much is a warden, how much is a catcher, and how much is a servant. ”

"Nowadays, the magistrates in charge of litigation make money from lawsuits, those who manage conscription and money and grain make money from conscription and money and grain, and those who manage academic administration openly sell the quota of students. In charge of the garrison of the local guards, they make money from the guards and the quota of money and food. As for the salt tea ceremony, there are even more places where the money comes from. ”

"A salt transporter collects salt from salt farmers, and is willing to pay only eight hundred pieces of money per stone. In the middle, a stone of salt is mixed with two catties of sand, and it will be consistent five when it is sold to salt merchants. After three years as a salt transport envoy, the one who has not accumulated more than hundreds of thousands of yuan of family property? Some Beijing officials would rather put the six departments and four grades in charge than do it, but would rather be an eight-grade salt transport envoy. ”

"The year before last, the Huainan Salt Cao Transit Envoy Zhishi, there were as many as eleven ships full of gold and silver property alone. How many people have to fill in these gold and silver belongings? After these people have made money, they all use it to buy land. They have a meritorious reputation, and the land under their names naturally does not have to pay taxes, and the amount of grain they lay is their own. ”

"Even if there are natural and man-made disasters, but this gold and silver treasure can be moved, who can move this land? As long as there is land, then they will not be poor. Xie Zifang, a former university scholar, Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Shangshu of the Criminal Department, has 150,000 acres of land in Zhongxiang Mansion, where he is originally from Huguang North Road. ”

"As for the Guilin County Palace, which is known as the rich in the world, the fields on the east and west roads of Guangnan are basically surnamed Liu. At present, five or six tenths of the world's anointed places are already in the hands of the clan and officials in the DPRK and China. These people are customized, and the land under their names is not paid for money and grain. As a result, the annual income of the imperial court is decreasing day by day, and now even the daily income of officials can only be paid seventy percent,"

"The weight of land annexation in this dynasty is probably only comparable to the Later Han Dynasty. Today, he is indeed diligent in government, and it can even be said that he is a rare diligent emperor since the first emperor. But what's the use of him being diligent alone, how much can he see, and how much can he manage? Besides, most of the officials below are reporting good news and not bad news, how many grievances can be written in one chapter? ”

"The emperor is too close to power, and the result of wanting to seize everything is that he can't grasp anything. The Imperial Historical Observatory and the Six Divisions are almost becoming decorations. As the first assistant of a country, several ministers of Zhongshu Province have almost become his echo worms. This person who is tired of the whole Qi Dynasty is just him. ”

"Zhengtonghe, I don't know where the prince saw it. Not to mention anything else, under the nose of the prince, at the feet of this son of heaven, in Luoyang City, the first good place, how many nameless corpses have to be carried out every day? Although he is diligent in government, the luxury in the world is still taking shape, and I am afraid that he alone can not recover it. ”

"Now that the Great Qi Dynasty is in the position of Wen Tian and Wu Xi, the corpse meal is in the prime position, and the civil officials only have to make money, and the military generals are not good there. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only knew pleasure and gathering, and there was no court in their hearts. Although there are more than 600,000 armies in the world, except for the four major battalions in the capital and the border army, which are better, the local guards of Zhulu have long been rotten and have no combat effectiveness. ”

Listening to this guy's attack on the general trend of the government and politics, Huang Qiong, who had done a similar analysis with her mother for a long time, although she agreed with his analysis and judgment in her heart, at least she couldn't easily agree with it at the moment. Especially when it comes to the politics of the DPRK, we cannot directly express our approval, and some things even have to be suppressed.

Looking at this guy who said that although he analyzed the rules and regulations of the government and politics, but was somewhat extreme, Huang Qiong did not answer him, but said lightly: "If you tell me this, you are not afraid that I will send you to Jingzhao Mansion and treat you for the crime of arguing about the government in vain?" Although this dynasty does not kill people with words, your disobedient words are intolerable to every person in power. ”

Quan believes that the prince will not do this, otherwise the prince will not bury Quan's father in a grand manner, and he will not hesitate to condescend to pay tribute in person. Quan Fangcai's words are indeed enough to kill the head. But if you just rely on these few words, you will send the power to the government to punish the crime, and there is no need for the prince to take pains. Speaking of this, Jia Quan laughed slightly unnaturally.

However, although he is somewhat weak-hearted, it is obvious that this guy does not intend to give up the idea of talking openly with Huang Qiong once. After swallowing his saliva, he continued: "Lord Wang, according to your kindness to Quan, there is no problem in letting Quan do his best to advise you. ”

"The ancients had a saying: If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring. Your great kindness to the right allows the father of the right to be buried in a grand manner, which is unforgettable. But the prince, the right is still the same sentence. If the prince just wants to be a peaceful and wealthy prince. You can't use the power, it doesn't matter if the power is not exhausted, with the prince's own ability, it is more than enough. ”

"If you want to do something, you really need power. Lord, to put it mildly, there are some things that you really haven't thought about, but do you think you can really escape? First of all, you were born in a heavenly family, and whether you want to do it or not, you will be involved in this battle for succession. ”

"You have no ambitions, but will the prince believe it? If he believes it, what about the people in the house who you know very well? The most important thing is that Prince Quan Suwen is extremely narrow-minded, and he has always reported flaws. Although the king of Huaiyang County did not harm his mother and son back then, the revenge of being imprisoned for three years may be unforgettable for the prince. ”
