Chapter 106: A Naturally Happening Fire Sale

Suppressing the excited discussion of everyone below, Zhao Xing continued his off-topic meeting: "Then, according to the decree just promulgated, if I want to obtain other people's land in my territory in Daijun, there are only two ways, that is, to send someone to negotiate with them, redeem it at a fair price or slightly higher than a fair price, or exchange the fief and family property of Zhao Lao Er, who I won in Handan. ”

"What if people say they don't do anything?" Xu Jie raised it again darkly.

"Then he must carry out my policy, and pay me tribute to conquer (a tax paid by the defeated nation to the victor), which is not a usurpation of property, it is the rule of the week. The amount of conquest paid is the tax collected on our normal fields. "This is actually a disguised way to control the land of those small lords in the hands of the Xingjun Mansion.

"What if they resolutely don't pay?" Xu Jie asked again.

Zhao Xing was impatient: "Where are you so many ifs." ”

Xu Jie stiffened his neck: "Everything is impermanent, we must consider it completely, have a complete plan, in order not to be in a hurry, to be bound and follow the law, so that what we do is justified, otherwise if things come out and find a way, then we will be in a hurry and not talk about it, and it will give people an excuse to bully." "The scholars of this era, especially the scholars who advocated reform, in fact, more or less, have the consciousness of legalism, after Li Kui reformed in the Wei State and formulated a complete legal system, the legal system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since then, the Central Plains has slowly broken away from the rule of the people who have become constitutional, and has taken an important step towards the legal system.

"You're right." Zhao Xing followed the advice: "Then if they resolutely do not pay, we will send troops to conquer according to the practice of the princes." ”

The Criminal Department and the Military Department buried their heads in writing them down.

"According to the rules of the fiefdom, the mountains, forests and rivers are mine, and the people are not allowed to use them at will. But I now stipulate that the mountains and forests of Daigun will be open to all people, and as long as they are used reasonably, there will be no more restrictions. But if the trees are cut down and sold, they must be priced, and if the fish and shrimp are sold, the tithing tax will be collected. The household department immediately recorded and understood.

"The policy of the fields was that the Zhou peasants would no longer participate in the conquest and war, but only need to cultivate with peace of mind. And they need to pay ten dollars per mu as money to hire others to fight for them. Then they paid ten dollars as a substitute for servitude, and hired someone else to perform their due servitude for them. Ten more dollars will be given as money for the government's preparation, and another ten dollars will be used as state taxes and offerings to me. That is to say, in Dai County, as long as a farmer pays forty dollars for one acre of land, he will plant his land regardless of the sky. Citizens, as long as they pay a certain amount of money, can also enjoy the above treatment. ”

This is tantamount to copying Qin Mo's policy in disguise, and it is also copying the rent adjustment system that began in the Tang Dynasty.

"Then, we hired Lou annoying people who could fight to fight, which was called the recruitment system. We will never call the people unless we have to. And once the people are conscripted, even if we only recruit them for a month, we will resolutely exempt them from all kinds of taxes for a year. All the labor needed by the government must be hired under the employment system, and agricultural work must not be delayed because of government affairs. ”

Zhou Tong sighed: "In this way, let professional people do professional things, this is in line with the way of heaven, so, why is Daijun not prosperous?" ”

Everyone is not used to this way of speaking, but they all understand it, and the more they listen, the more excited they become.

"But everything above has to be built on our population base. However, we lack the population and labor, and I command you to dig into the corners of others, and it is inevitable that you will have a conflict with them, and my policy of rewarding children will not be effective in ten or twenty years. Fortunately, God took care of us and sent us 100,000 people and 100,000 slaves at once, so I ask you to buy them with me and increase the population of Daijun. After going around in a big circle to foreshadow, Zhao Xing finally brought the meeting back to the topic.

Everyone was angry in their hearts: "We are your officials, not to buy the slaves you sell to make a fortune, so shameless." ”

"I am now announcing my great development, the policy of everyone getting rich together, please record it in the long history."

Xu Jie hurriedly picked up the knife and pen and waited.

"Now, the lord of Daijun, Xingjun has officially issued the Daijun Development and Reform Order, and from now on, the uncultivated land, within this year, will belong to whoever reclaims it and become his private property. Remember" Zhao Xing pointed to Xu Jie: "Remember clearly, whose family reclaimed it belongs to whom, not who reclaimed it to whom, it is private property rather than fiefdom, and it is private family property under state control, which can be passed on to children and grandchildren." ”

With such a detailed explanation, everyone was a little thoughtful. Dancing God eBook

That is to say, for example, Xu Jie, if he does not have the strength to cultivate it himself, he can assign his family members to do it, for example, his slaves, his maids, including his slaves. As long as they reclaim this land, I Xingjun Mansion will admit that Xu Jie owns this land, as long as the prescribed land tax is paid per mu in accordance with the rules of the state every year, and there is no endowment, as long as he pays for one year, I will admit him for one year, even if I go to your field and step on a seedling of yours, you can also go to Han Guang, the envoy of the Criminal Department, to sue me. ”

The slave is also his own, boom, all the people understand, that is, they can have legal land in Daijun, and these people can be the local lord in Daijun.

Seeing that everyone understood their good intentions, he then took advantage of himself: "Since everyone is not willing to buy slaves, I will not force it." I'm going to put this policy on after I've bought the 100,000 slaves, hehehehe, selfish, selfish. ”

Xu Jie directly overturned the table at that time, "No, you can't buy all the 100,000 slaves, I want a hundred, no, a thousand." ”

Zhou Tong, who understood, immediately represented his colleagues, justice, and himself: "Xingjun, greed, this is fighting for profit with the people, this is insatiable greed, I want to resolutely fight against you, slave, we all have a share, I, five hundred." ”

Zhao Xing was in pain: "I can share a little with you, but do you have any money?" Slave teeth can be cashed. ”

Zhou Tong smiled treacherously: "I have the 10,000 yuan you rewarded, I don't even buy rice for dinner, I buy all slaves, it's not enough, my family has money, I'll let my old slave ride home and get the money now." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we all go home to get the money, we want to buy slaves, and Xingjun can't take it alone." In the face of huge interests, in the face of the great cause of thousands of generations that can increase their family property in Daijun, everyone's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and they began to compete with Zhao Xing. What is the superiority and humility. This is the nature of a scholar.

Zhao Xing was furious: "Limit, limit, two thousand stones-"

Zhou Tong grabbed Zhao Xing's sleeve at that time and waved his old fist: "Such a mean colleague, I will beat him." ”

Everyone immediately attacked in groups, Zhao Xing hugged his head and ran around, and finally begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I don't limit the amount, whatever." ”

Everyone stops, and then become a humble gentleman, and there is dignity and humility.

"However, I have a rule that slaves must be freed as civilians at the end of three years." Then he smiled like a fox: "Of course, because the land they have cultivated is yours, they have nothing, they can become your tenant farmers, and you can collect rent from them." "This is the essence of the reform, the land cultivated by the slaves, of course, belongs to the masters, this is a matter of course, and the slaves will not rebel.

However, when the slaves were freed, in principle, it was the owner of the family who suffered, but the slaves did not have land with them, and became slaves of the common people, so they could only cultivate the land of the tenant family and pay rent to the master's family. In this way, the main family continues to have a steady stream of income, which is another great joy for all.

There is no need for Zhao Xing to deliberately say this, the huge labor enthusiasm between slaves and tenant farmers is obvious to all here.

As a result, all the people sighed, "O Lord is merciful." ”

"Okay, let it be bought and sold, I promised you, and in order to protect you, I announced this policy the day after the slave trade, and I promised you." However, standing in the square in front of so many officials and so many people around, is it appropriate to say this big secret?

Zhao Xing smiled slyly: "It's just that people don't have credit, and I can't restrict who buys and who can't, so ah, if you can get money before the slave trade market opens, it's not my business." Let's do it. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded at the time, this is a matter of fast hands and slow hands, and when everyone comes all the way to get money, things will be cold early. How good is that?

At this time, Han Ce's voice at the East Corner Gate sounded like a heavenly sound: "The master mother has a body in her hands, and now she is released to live and breathe, with an annual interest rate of fifty percent, her hands are fast, but your hands are slow——"
