"Check it for the old man to see whose family planted cotton in the grain field."

The day after Li Yi and Li Longji returned to Zhuangzi in the evening, the head of the household was notified by Li Longji to slap the table in the office.

The people in the household department got busy, checked the booklets, and went out to look for land to grow cotton.

The day of planting cotton is now over, and cotton was planted two months ago.

Those who want to grow more cotton dig up the seedlings that should be thrown away separately and move them to other fields when they are thinning.

Some people are smart and see that the imperial court has good policies and is in high demand.

I thought about a variety of things, and even if the court didn't accept them, it would be of great use to keep them in my hands.

These people are those who have a lot of land in their families, and the land is rented according to the actual grant.

When a family annexes other people's land, they pay the rent they actually granted, but they do not pay the rent on the land they buy later.

And those who sold Yongye Tian for various reasons relied on dividing the land to pay rent, or simply ran away and became fugitives.

For example, most of the migrant workers in Lijia Zhuangzi belong to the landless people.

The land that was originally annexed would grow grain, and if there was more grain grown, it would naturally have to be sold, and on the whole, the grain consumption of Jingzhao Prefecture remained stable.

Cotton was planted, and overall food income decreased.

If it is not controlled, everyone will see that planting cotton is more profitable than farming, and if you change the grain field to plant cotton, there will be no food to eat at that time.

The household department went to investigate, and the next night, Bi Gou ran to the Li family Zhuangzi.

"Xiao Yi, it's shocking, guess how much cotton is grown?" Bi Gou drank sullen wine, and there were cold dishes on the table.

"Compared with the total number of acres of cotton planted in Jingzhao Mansion, a quarter of the grain fields are planted?" Li Yi thought about it and gave a data.

"How do you know?" Bi Gou looked surprised.

"The survival rate of seedlings is not high, and the cotton seedlings they plant themselves are planted immediately after planting, and the seedlings taken from other people or bought at a low price are easy to die when they go back to plant."

Li Yi said how he analyzed, cotton is sown, and it has to be changed to rice transplanting.

The key is that you can't use a seedling transplanter, and you can't specialize in seedling cultivation.

"Yes, even then, the grain fields have been encroached upon. Now that I have pulled cotton and planted other things, it is too late. ”

Bi Gou was distressed, and now as soon as he said what the Li family Zhuangzi was doing, the people immediately thought it was profitable.

Li Yi accompanied him to take a sip of wine: "Since it has been planted, the household department will send someone to manage it, and from now on, hire someone to take care of the cotton in the field and confiscate it." ”

"It should be confiscated, and at the same time they should be punished for renting more, because they have more land and less rent, and the land annexation has caused the rent collected by the household department to begin to decline."

Bi Gou made up his mind, punished, and by the way, made more rent for the household.

Li Yi lowered his head and pondered, as if he was making a decision, and when he raised his head, he looked at Bi Gou: "Old Bi, I have an idea." ”

Bi Gou put down the wine cup and looked at Li Yi seriously: "Big deal? ”

"Generally large." Li Yi nodded lightly.

"Can the old man afford it?" Bi Gou's heart is empty.

"Not now, stay for a while, okay." Li Yi smiled.

"You say." Bi Gou took a deep breath.

"Inventory the land in Datang, collect rent according to the number of acres, and those who do not have land do not charge any money." Li Yi threw the paving into the mu.

In fact, one of the two tax laws after the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty was to apportionment into the mu, but it charged an extra household tax.

If there is no household tax, it is a good policy to apportionment into the mu.

Bi Gou looked at Li Yi fixedly, swallowing his saliva, he finally knew what it meant to be 'average'.

According to what Li Yi said, how many people's interests should be touched?

"You must pay rent in advance, and you can't convert it into money, otherwise the people will sell grain at a low price to raise money during the harvest season."

Li Yi went on to talk about how to collect 'taxes' and ask for money, and the harvest was the time when merchants lowered prices.

Bi Gou shook his head slowly: "It's difficult, people with a lot of fields will object." ”

"It can be done." Li Yi is determined, the court is determined, and there is no problem.

It's not the Song Dynasty now, and there's no messy thing like the Qingli New Deal.

It's not like Wang Anshi's Baoma Law and Qingmiao Law.

Directly in one step, spread into the acre.

"It is very likely that local officials will make false reports, conceal reports, and make false reports when they are clearing the fields, especially in the fields, middle fields, and lower fields."

Bi Gou actually directly thought of how to divide the land into acres and divide the fields into good and bad.

Li Yi shook his head: "As long as the court is stable, the following things are easy to say, Your Majesty is determined, and there are Yulin Flying Cavalry and Sixteen Guards." ”

"Wait a minute, wait for the tax matter to be pushed down, and then work on this matter."

Bi Gou is afraid that the two major events will be pushed together, and the last one will not be able to do well.

"You can try it out in Jingzhao Mansion first, Jingzhao Mansion is easy to use." Li Yi is more and more fond of Jingzhao Mansion.

Anything can start from Jingzhao Mansion, under the noses of Yulin Feiqi and Sixteen Guards, who dares not to follow?

Yao Chong drank a cup, didn't eat vegetables, and lowered his head to calculate.

After a dozen breaths, he looked up: "Try? ”

Li Yi gave Yao Chong an encouraging look: "It's not a big deal to try, who would dare to rebel?" ”

"Your Zhuangzi, do you want to clear your zhang?" The first one in Bi Gou actually wanted to clear the Li family Zhuangzi.

"I thank you. The land I bought before Zhuangzi was not good, some of it was used to build industry, and some of it was being cultivated. Let's clear it. ”

Li Yi agreed, the Li family's Zhuangzi's goal was too big, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion were all looking at it.

However, he continued: "I want to plan, part of the land is military land, and this part of the land will be set aside, and the rest of the breeding land will be set aside." ”

Li Yi is willing to pay rent, pay, is there much money.

He must explain the attributes of the land, otherwise what the land will be used for in the future will be an encroachment on the grain field.

"In a month, within a month, the old man will definitely clear the land in Jingzhao Mansion and start collecting rent from this year."

With Li Yi's support, Bi Gou made up his mind.

In this way, when the land of the whole Tang Dynasty is cleared, it will be a huge rent.

The peace is no longer reconciled, and the people can have more time for other work.

After eating, Bi Gou did not live in Li's Zhuangzi, but went home in his own carriage, and the city gate was not closed, and he entered and exited casually.

The Sixteen Guards and Yu Lin Feiqi camped outside the city gates in various places, saying that they were training, but in fact they were trying to prevent problems.

When he returned home, he began to write his sonata.

On the new day, in the early morning of the dynasty, he did not say anything about the land of Jingzhao Mansion, and was ready to collect rent according to the number of fields and the situation of the fields.

Everyone else left, and he motioned to Li Longji to leave Yao Chong and the three of them behind.

Yao Chong looked at Bi Gou, what do you mean you want to do? You went to Li's Zhuangzi last night, what did you throw out today?

"Your Majesty, the land annexation is serious, and the number of displaced people fleeing has increased, and only Jingzhao Mansion investigated the cotton planting yesterday, and there are many people who have too many acres of land......

Bi Gou began to talk about things, and said a lot, and finally said: "The minister, please first clear the acres of land from Jingzhao Mansion, locate the third-class fields, and rent them into the acres." ”

Yao Chong and the three of them closed their eyes at the same time, and finished, sure enough, Li Yi didn't make trouble for a long time, and he wanted to turn the sky upside down.

Li Longji took the tea and drank it, and when he put down the cup, he bowed his head: "Yes!" ”
