Chapter 594: Food and Clothing Line

Last year, Huang Shen, a merchant of the Song Dynasty, was ordered by Luo Zheng, the envoy of Dengzhou, to get on the line with Goryeo.

Then Tang Shilang's treasure ship suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Bailong River, and Huang Shen was immediately and ruthlessly abandoned by the Koreans.

Today's Goryeo Ministry's squire Kim Yi is on the Zhang San boat.

The Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo, Japan, and Cochin, in fact, the costumes all have similarities, and Zhang San is not so unaccustomed to looking at Jin Yi.

Jin Yi didn't know that the young man in front of him was the famous sea overlord.

Zhang San's identity in front of him is that he has a deep relationship in Hangzhou, so he was selected by Tang Shilang as the assistant secretary of the schooner.

The only literati.

Jin Yi saw Zhang San, came over and asked, "Lang Jun, this trip, I, why can't I understand it?" Why have so many days passed without seeing the coast? ”

Zhang San said with a smile: "Your envoy can rest assured, it's today." When you see the water lighten and the seabirds follow, you will almost reach Hangzhou. ”

Jin Yi was shocked: "Lang Jun doesn't want to joke!" According to the itinerary, it is still near Haizhou. How to get to the money pond?! ”

Zhang San said: "Your envoy should hurry up and prepare his own affairs, after Mr. Da sentenced Hangzhou, the rules of the city are very big: when the envoy arrives, he must have the scepter and documents issued by the lord of the country, and he can only take the waterway, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing by land. Seeing that the peach blossom water is coming, why do I have to send you before the river sends water? ”

Jin Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If it's true, this is simply flying against the wind." ”

Zhang San said: "Mr. Big said, even if you are an envoy, you must abide by the rules of the Great Song Dynasty. Engravings and copper coins are not allowed to be shipped out of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"However, the young master said that Goryeo is a small China, and he will fight for you in front of the officials, and the saint scriptures and Buddhist scriptures are not hindered, and the rest of the silk and porcelain and other commodities are also not hindered. Also, Dali bronzes, that is entrepot trade, you are willing to buy it, you can do it. ”

"After asking for the holy decree, Mr. Big relented, but all books are only allowed to be purchased at the Zhaowen Bureau of the Municipal Shipping Division, and the rest are listed as private bans, and all ships must be strictly inspected when leaving the port, so you should be careful."

"Also, on the deck of this ship, the envoys can move freely, and they can't go below the deck, and someone will bring food to your aft cabin every day, and remember to eat tea and monkey peach preserves, otherwise you will get sea sickness."

Tea, bean sprouts, jam, scurvy are not born to occur on Chinese sea vessels.

Jin Yi hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Yes, yes, the envoy of a small country, how dare you violate the legal system of the Celestial Empire." I don't know what you said about the big gentleman and young master......"

Only then did Zhang San react: "Mr. Big is the second person in the third class of the national dynasty, Su Shi and Su Zizhan ......"

Jin Yi was surprised and delighted, and his heart was beating wildly: "Slush Hongclaw Su Zizhan? ”

Zhang San nodded: "Exactly." The young master is the flower exploration of the national dynasty, and now the Shaanxi Jingluo appeases Su Mingrun. I don't dare to speak out of my name, but I think your envoy knows it. ”

Only then did Jin Yi react: "Yes, yes, yes, Lang Jun is from Shu with them." This time I didn't enter the Song Dynasty from Dengzhou, but I really caught it! I, can I see Su Changshi after I go ashore? ”

Zhang San smiled: "As long as it's not official business, Mr. Big is very approachable." It seems that the noble envoy is also full of poetry and books, and he should talk to Mr. Big. ”

"Teach you to be a good man, you first go to Hangzhou to visit a few senior monks, ask them to be accommodating, and if you want to see Mr. Big, it will be easier."

Jin Yi bowed happily: "Thank you Langjun for your advice, thank you Langjun for your advice." ”

Zhang San raised his eyes to look at the southwest, stretched out his hand and pointed to a seagull in the sky: "Look! There it is! ”

In February of the fourth year of Xining, the Goryeo envoy Jin Yi arrived in Hangzhou and met his idol Su Shi.

Chen Xiang, the governor of Hangzhou, received him and then sent him off for Bianliang.

Ren Chen, Wang Anshi, please sell the world Guanghui Cangtian, for Hebei East, West, Jingdong four roads often close the position.

Considering that Shaanxi's regular liquidation is still substantial, the income from the sale of land in Shaanxi Guanghui warehouse is Jinghu Water Conservancy Capital, and Zhao Ji follows it.

Previously, because there was a lot of vacant land for horse supervisors and horses in Zhulu in Hebei, the imperial court specially set up the Tuntian Division and leased 7,000 hectares of fertile land to the common people.

The original intention was to collect rent to help raise horses, but the Hebei Tuntian Division could not maintain the balance of income and expenditure even in the harvest year, so Wang Anshi simply asked Zhao Ji to dismiss the Tuntian affairs and turn the army into a civilian army.

Gengxu, because Shaanxi Road and Yongxing Military Road have been widely used in Shu banknotes, completely abolished the Yongxing Army to buy salt banknotes, and used the benefits of salt as the principal of Xue Xiang's Jiangnan shipment.

Xinhai, Hubei mentioned the prison Zhao Ding, and said in the book that the head of the headquarters was harsh and had no moderation in cutting the people, and everyone in the barbarian department wanted to return to the Central Plains; A businessman named Zhang Qiao in Chenzhou also wrote about the great benefits of the North and South Rivers.

The imperial court sent Zhang Dian Zhikuizhou to prepare to inspect the north road of Jinghu and control the barbarians.

The spring breeze in February blew all over the land of Shaanxi, in Su You's words, the imperial court has finally opened up, so what else is there to say, hurry up and seize the opportunity, let's divide the land!

In later generations, some experts and scholars commented that the people who came out of the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Examination were all from the landlord class and were the spokespersons of the landlord class, because after research, among them, scholars from families covering an area of more than 100 acres accounted for more than 70 percent!

The evidence was very careful, but the consideration was not comprehensive and sufficient, ignoring the social situation at that time.

In the Tang Dynasty, the uniform land system stipulated that Ding men and middle men should each receive 100 acres of land. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong Xinglingkou, which was the border of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province in later generations, saw the village forced to the side, and asked it to receive the field, Ding 30 acres.

One ding of thirty acres of land attracted the emperor's personal attention.

In the Song Dynasty, the land standard of Dingkou was greatly reduced, which was related to the growth of the population and the weakening of the country.

One household and two dings are basically the smallest family units in the Great Song Dynasty, so the hundred-acre family is counted as the landlord class, which is a bit of a modern discussion of the ancient and the meaning of changing the concept.

The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system, but the tax system began to be explored and reformed locally, and the overall tax gradually boiled down to two main doors - Tian Fu and Ding Yin.

Tian Fu is forty acres of rice and four stones, that is, one bucket per mu, which is actually quite low from the written point of view.

Moreover, even if it is such a field endowment, it cannot be collected in fact, and the average state can only collect one-third of it.

Why? Because the other burdens of the peasants are too heavy.

A husband of forty acres, a year to grow a year's food, Su You will call it "food and clothing line".

The reason for the heavy burden on the state is that there are too many people below the subsistence line.

Moreover, more and more peasants, who have lost their land due to annexation, can only survive by renting.

When there is a famine, the interest on the lease land is as high as eighty percent of the income, and in the general year, it is half of the income, which immediately suppresses the peasants from the "food and clothing line" to the "hunger line".

Lu Huiqing once talked to Zhao Ji about his own income: "In Suzhou, the ministers and others all have land, and he has always earned one mu of money, and he has four or five or six buckets of rice per year. However, there are often arrears. If you are two years old, you will get three buckets of rice, and you will have fifty dollars, but one hundred and fifty dollars. ”

This is the reason why Su You looked down on the income from the fields after he came to the Great Song Dynasty, but the 200 acres of public land of the Su family in Longli have not increased until now.

But this is not the case for others, one mu is rented and charged one hundred and fifty yuan, so wouldn't it be appropriate for us to build tens of thousands of acres?

Lu Huiqing's words must have been an ambush in front of the emperor, and he deliberately avoided the essence of the matter.

The essence of the matter is that the land of the Song Dynasty runs through two acres, and the money can be pawned out, coupled with the high salaries of the upper-level officials, it is too easy to merge!

Su You boiled down this problem to an economic problem, and the economic problem was solved by economic methods.

The fundamental solution is to make the land less valuable, and let the annexation of land not make money!

Farming requires manpower, and manpower requires cost.

In Weibei, a large amount of arable land was reclaimed by the Xia people who brought it back to Shaanxi, who were originally farmers on the Hetao Plain and also faced brutal oppression by the upper ruling group.

With advanced surveying methods and reclamation models, a large amount of arable land appeared in the Zhenrong Army, the Deshun Army, and the northern part of Weizhou.

The family-based three-dimensional farming and interculture agriculture model designed by Suyou can certainly increase grain production, increase the variety of non-staple foods, and the output of livestock.

But undoubtedly, it has greatly increased the average labor cost per unit of land area.

This is intensive farming.

For small households, this is definitely a huge boon, but for large landowners, it is tantamount to a disaster.

This is a subtle and subtle way of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Coupled with the improvement of agricultural technology in various places, the cultivation of alfalfa, the promotion of shed farming, the rise of raising chickens, ducks and fish, the planting of fruit trees, and the use of various fertilizers, the 40 acres of land that used to be only enough to raise one ding can now feed a family of five.

The development of northern Shaanxi has now obtained 50,000 tilts of land, combined with scientific farming methods, it can solve the problem of food and clothing for 120,000 poor families!
