Chapter 852: Promulgation of the Title of Title
Xiong Huai shook his head, Tang Mo and Qu Yuan both had the same problem, that is, they did not deliberately cultivate the forces of changing the law to benefit from the law, they only thought about reforming from the top down, and expected everyone to put the interests of the country first and consider the problem from the standpoint of the country.
However, when the people are unpredictable and unprofitable, how can millions of people in a country work together.
What's more, the current change is obviously not conducive to the feudal lords and nobles.
Therefore, at this time, the reform should cultivate a group of beneficiaries of the reform as soon as possible to fight against the powerful conservative forces.
In this group, ordinary people cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility, and the people are ignorant and can be wings, but they cannot act as the main force. The low-status businessman group also can't bear this burden, not only the low status of the businessman, but more importantly, the businessman is out of touch with the ordinary people who farm and cultivate the land.
As for the big merchants and the big nobles of the Chu State, they were originally two sides of the same copper coin, and they would not take the initiative to ask for change.
The only one who can shoulder this heavy responsibility is the strong people in various places, or the taxis in various places.
These powerful ancestors were basically nobles, but they became rich peasants or landlords because they lost their titles or failed to inherit them.
Therefore, they have a more or less disconnected relationship with the nobles, and they will not be strongly vigilant by the nobles. Moreover, as a rich peasant or landlord, Haoqiang also had a strong connection with the common people, and his prestige among the common people was extremely high.
Moreover, the local tycoons, their numbers, and their wealthy families are trying to do great things, and they are not content with the status quo like ordinary people, but are eager to change their political status. However, they always have no way to serve the country, so that they travel in various places and even countries, and these people are the natural main force for changing the law, and what they lack is only an opportunity.
These are all over Jiangdong, and there are also in Chu itself, and there are more countries in the world.
Therefore, these people are all people who need to be won over by changing the law, and they are also the main force for future law changes, they are the powerful defenders of the new law, and they are the strong supporters of dominating the world, how can we strike at them!
After thinking about it, Xiong Huai didn't say it directly, but shook his head and said: "It's not proper, the widow just killed a large number of nobles, and now he is attacking Haoqiang, this move is extremely inappropriate." Therefore, the widow decided to open up to these people and bestow knights.
In the next month, let the local heroes report their family's land and property, and let the local government confirm their land property, and then give them the corresponding titles according to their land property.
However, those who conceal their land and property, underreport and omit to report, will be found out by the widow in the future, and their homes will be raided, and the whole clan will be demoted to a commoner, and they will be distributed to Dongting to reclaim the famine.
In addition, Xianqing also spread the news later that the widow would thoroughly inspect all land in Jiangdong, whether it was mountains, woodlands, swamps, cultivated land, rivers, wasteland, as long as it was land in Jiangdong, it should be registered for inspection, and it would be checked every 20 years to prevent tax evasion. ”
"Yui." Tang Yu nodded in response.
Then, Xiong Huai frowned, muttered for a while, and then said: "As for those landed merchants, they should also be dealt with according to Haoqiang, and Jiangdong can't be messed up. ”
"The king..." Tang Yu said with some hesitation: "In this way, the minister is worried that those businessmen will change their household registration and pretend to be Haoqiangshi. ”
"It's okay!" Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Not long after, when the time is ripe, the widow will immediately announce the method of the merchant's promotion, and use the law to distinguish the merchant from the haoqiang, so as to avoid those merchants who are not like the merchant now, and the haoqiang is not like the haoqiang." ”
"This..." Tang Yu thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed: "The king is wise!" ”
When Xiong Huai heard this, he went through the situation in his mind again, and after making sure that there would be no major turmoil in Jiangdong, he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Send the edict to Zhuguo, and immediately order the Chu troops in all parts of Jiangdong to strengthen their vigilance in case of accidents." Another edict was sent to the generals on the frontier, telling them to be careful against the attacks of various countries. ”
"Yui!"
"Another edict was sent to Ling Yin, telling them that Jiangdong's policy was a strategy adopted by Jiangdong's new annexation to control Jiangdong, and this law would not be implemented in Chu itself."
"Yui!"
The next day, October 11, after the last edict of the king of Chu, on this day, the king of Chu once again issued edicts everywhere in Jiangdong, and this time the edict was far more than the last three edicts.
"Edict: After the widow heard about the division of land, the people complained about the maximum number of acres of land owned by each household, and envied the nobles and nobles who owned many acres of land. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, the widow decided to listen to the will of the people and open up the maximum number of acres of land that the people could acquire.
Therefore, the widow decided to open the title to the people, and the people only need to promote the title, they can get more land and land, as long as the title is sufficient, they can also get the right to marry concubines and have slaves..."
"The edict, in order to highlight the importance of the title, in the future, the chiefs of the Wu Chief, the chief of the Shi, and the head of the Li Society in all parts of Jiangdong will give priority to the people with high titles, as well as the officials of the local government, and also give priority to the people with high titles. From now on, in all parts of Jiangdong, those who do not have titles are not allowed to serve as officials in Jiangdong counties. ”
"The edict, all those who have no lords in Jiangdong will be dealt with according to the head of Qian, where the head of Qian, there shall be no concubines, no slaves and servants, no use of ritual weapons, cemeteries...
The edict states that those who have a knighthood shall not exceed the scope of the title in their daily life and clothing, and shall not be higher than their own title, nor lower than their own title, in order to identify their identity, if there is a transgression, the whole clan will be reduced to a concubine, if there is a disagreement, the government will persuade them, and those who do not change their three persuasions will be demoted.
Imperial decree, the promotion of the assassin history of Chen Zhen as the imperial history doctor, still in charge of the assassin history of the house, Jiangdong counties to set up a post of assassin history, in addition to the style of the post, increase the position of merit, where the nobles and people around the county to promote the knight, must be the county assassin history review, confirmed that it is correct. ”
"Edict, the law of the knight..."
Therefore, in order to promote the nobles to serve the country, in order to avoid more unscrupulous people among the children of the nobles, the widow decided to downgrade the title when the title is inherited, so that the children of the nobles will serve the country more, and if they have merit, they will be promoted, and if they have no merit, they will retire."
As soon as the edict was issued, the entire Jiangdong was suddenly boiling.
For the common people, all of them are beneficial, as for the various benefits attached to the title, whether it is a field, a house, a concubine, a silk, a carriage, a horse, a cemetery, etc., they are all poor and cannot afford it, and these things have nothing to do with them.
However, the method of the king of Chu to become a lord, whether it is the yield of cultivated land, or reclamation, or going into battle to kill the enemy, is their method of becoming a lord, and it does not seem to be very difficult.
And as long as they have a knighthood, they will be separated from the people and become members of the nobility that they once regarded as high.
It's hard not for them to get excited.
