"Oh, Shi Xie's soldiers are in Jingzhou?"

As the scout's words fell, Guan Ping couldn't help but show surprise on his face and muttered.

Although he knew that Jiaozhou had nominally belonged to Sun Wu, he did not expect that there would be Jiaozhou people in the southern part of Jingzhou.

Without him, because of the concept of later generations, Guan Ping mistakenly thought that Shixie was just a man who happened to be in troubled times and seized the seven counties of Jiaozhou!

He didn't expect that Shi Xie would choose to lead the crowd to invade the realm when his side had just broken the Cao-Wu coalition army and was waiting to recuperate.

I have to say that this dispatch is indeed a timely and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, since the Han army broke through the Wu army to hold Jingzhou, all the strategies issued were based on pillowing and waiting for the Dan and supporting the people in Tuntian, and all military operations in Jingzhou were extinguished.

Recently.

After some discussion, the tens of thousands of prisoners of war of the Cao army and the prisoners of war of the Wu army in this battle have been dispersed and organized into households, mixed into the Jianghan Plains such as Zhijiang, Dangyang, and Fuyi, and organized them into private households to enrich the population and carry out tuntian.

Not only that, Guan Ping also suggested that his father follow Cao Cao's example, set up a military cantonment, and organize the county soldiers and auxiliary soldiers into tuntian households, so as to conquer wartime and cultivate in peacetime to expand grain production.

The Jianghan Plain runs through the whole territory by the major tributaries of the Yangtze River, such as the Han River and the Shui River, and there are many water systems, which are also very suitable for irrigating the tuntian.

Guan Ping felt that as long as he could establish a perfect and stable tuntian measure on the Jianghan Plain, at least in the next few years, the expedition would not be worried about logistics!

Of course, the reason why he wanted to persuade his father to prosper Tuntian was far more than that.

The most critical factor is to curb the growth and development of local tyrants.

Since the Guangwu Xinghan Dynasty, because of the powerful clan to win the world, so he promised to rule the world with the big clan, which is almost equivalent to the legal principle, the state recognized that the major powerful can justifiably enclose land, implement land annexation, and raise tenants as family slaves, becoming hidden households.

If there are more hidden households, the number of yeoman farmers will be greatly reduced.

The state will become weak and weak, and eventually the treasury will be empty.

Where does the wealth of the country come from?

I am afraid that those who have studied politics in future generations will know that taxation is the foundation of the country, and without a stable source of taxation, the country will naturally be poor and weak.

The tenants who can be attached to the Haoqiang clan have become hidden households, and they have no household registration on the national household registration, so they do not have to pay taxes to the state, but only need to serve the Haoqiang.

Over time, this has resulted in the powerful clans becoming stronger and stronger, and the country becoming weaker and weaker.

Why did the Eastern Han Dynasty decline to this point, and why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion sweep through the Eight Desolations?

In addition to the successive natural disasters, I am afraid that the threat of man-made disasters is even more on it.

First, the Eastern Han Dynasty and Qianghu fought for more than 100 years, almost exhausting the national treasury, and then the powerful clan wantonly enclosed land, making it more and more difficult to collect taxes.

This has undoubtedly greatly increased the burden on the people!

And that's not all.

Every year of famine, in order to save food and clothing, the powerful clan also wantonly expelled the tenant farmers, and did not care about life and death.

Tenants, mostly landless peasants, were evicted homeless, wandering from state to county, begging in the streets for a living.

This is the birth of the homeless!

Even the brave ones ganged up to become thieves with a ruthless heart, and gradually became inhumane thieves who killed people and plundered goods.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, and everyone in the world was able to respond en masse, and all states were shaken.

It's really the people who have been squeezed for a long time!

Homeless farmers and homeless people have an unforgettable hatred for the Haoqiang clan, so once the Yellow Turban Army plays the slogan of punishing Haoqiang, it can be said that this group of people is one of the most excited and motivated people to rob and kill Haoqiang.

Pity.

After all, the power of the people was difficult to resist the official army and the strong, which led to the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising finally being suppressed.

However, since the central government was unable to suppress the rebellion alone, it had no choice but to delegate power to Haoqiang and allow them to recruit troops on their own to suppress thieves between states and counties.

This also made the power of the major giants reach the peak stage for a while, and they have organized the recruitment of troops, built dock forts, and connected the manor to each other!

Since the time of the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo's turmoil, the powerful clans have all taken advantage of the chaos in the world and the warlords fighting for territory, and have expanded their family strength.

Nowadays, there are more and more powerful enclosures, and the number of yeoman farmers has decreased exponentially, so it is natural that the armed strength of the big families will be extremely strong, and then they will build weapons in private, and each name is called "self-preservation".

The period of the two Jin Dynasty was the peak period of the family gate valve.

But in fact, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful family has gradually developed and grown, and finally formed a strong family valve in the process of quantitative change to qualitative change.

Internally, they control the court and are powerful.

Externally, he made full use of the power in his hands to build estates in the local area, accumulate land, and expand the strength of the family.

It can be said that the root cause of the great chaos of the past dynasties is the powerful clan.

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the world has fallen into a lot of competition, warlords are fighting, and the powerful clans are all wantonly building dock forts, manufacturing weapons privately, and developing arms."

"Today, the big clan has a tail that cannot be shaken off, I must fight hard to regain the land from the hands of Haoqiang and return to the people!"

For a moment, Guan Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought, muttering to himself.

Tuntian, in short, liberated the productive forces, and the monarch and the powerful clans grabbed the land, and the hermit was re-established into an official state household registration.

After all, as long as the country can regain the land from the big clans, then the hermits of Haoqiang Manor can only be dismissed.

Tuntian is the first step in Guan Ping's plan to crack down on Haoqiang.

He was not at all worried about being condemned by Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong.

Because, suppressing Haoqiang is the national policy implemented by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Strict torture laws, prohibition of land annexation, and even Liu Bei's policy of "big money minting small money" are all aimed at effectively curbing the powerful.

Moreover, Wei, Shu and Wu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Sun Quan have really suppressed Haoqiang all their lives.

Because, the male lord will not let himself be subject to the control of the big clan.

Merely.

In the end, after the death of the male lord Liu Bei and the virtuous minister Zhuge Liang, Shu Han still compromised with the powerful clan after all.

The same goes for Cao Wei and Sun Wu!

It can also be seen from this that the vitality of the great clans is extremely vigorous.

This is also a disadvantage of the ancient dynasties, because there was no movable type printing in ancient times, paper was not popular, and books generally needed to be copied and handed down by large families.

After copying, the big clan will naturally be able to monopolize knowledge, and the scholars will be firmly controlled in a controllable way, and the governance of the country needs talents, where do the talents come from?

Even if the state can crack down on the big clans, what can it do?

In the end, I still have to compromise with the Shi clan, why?

Because governing the country requires talents, and most of the talents are protégés of powerful families, and the two sides intermarry with each other.

This naturally forms a monopoly layer.

After all, there was no compulsory education in ancient times, there were so many talents, and you could only use these people to govern the country.

Thinking about this, Guan Ping couldn't help but show a trace of determination, clenched his fists and said coldly: "Since I have come to this troubled world, I will not let the cancer of the powerful clan continue to run rampant, no matter how full of thorns the road is, I will also overcome the thorns to sweep away the threat of the great clan." ”

"Recreate the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

Of course, this Han Dynasty is not the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the Western Han Dynasty.

The Western Han Dynasty's military service system and the Lingyi system were the best policies to restrain the powerful and achieve centralization.

This is also the grand goal set by Guan Ping when he came to this era and wanted to fight Haoqiang and restore the glory of the former Han Dynasty.
