"You!"

This is the second time that Wei Zheng has been robbed by the eldest grandson, no matter how he says that he is also a junior, in front of so many people, Wei Zheng couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and scolded: "There is no place for you to speak here!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong Ling Ran was not afraid, and said: "Duke Wei, the younger generation does not have any disrespect, but the teacher teaches that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." The eldest grandson Chong is not only a husband, but also the director of the Imperial Property Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Wei Zheng was choked again, so angry that he couldn't speak. The eldest grandson Wuji was also very uncomfortable when he heard that Wei Zheng had lost his son, and he also stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, although the dog is innocent, he also obeys the teacher's orders and performs his duties. ”

Wang Jingze looked at the situation in front of him, stood up, and said, "The minister thinks what Duke Wei said is very true!" On the contrary, what Uncle Guo said was inappropriate, the eldest grandson Chong is the son of Uncle Guo, and it is unfair to speak favoritism! ”

Someone else stood up: "The minister thinks it ......"

"Shut up!"

Li Shimin interrupted everyone's "thoughts", stood up and pointed at the hundred officials, and said: "You one by one, what is the use of this and that?" They all only care about their own selfish interests, they don't think about the country at all, they don't want to me, they don't want to think about how difficult it is for the court now! I can only pay lip service, and don't do anything at all! Can't you learn from Li Mu? See how he did it! ”

Wang Jingze said in a timely manner: "What does Your Majesty mean by this? In addition to being arrogant and showing off his money, what did Li Mu do! ”

"Huh!" Li Shimin sneered and said: "Don't say anything else, if you are not blind, after retreating from the dynasty, go to Dongcheng to have a look, there is a huge factory, all of which are built by Li Mu with advance money." Nearly 200,000 yuan of investment will be used to produce weapons and armor needed by the Tang army in the future, why don't you see any of you standing up to do this kind of thing! ”

"Li Mu has been in Chang'an for nearly a year, building factories, repairing the lanes of Chang'an City, etc., and has already cushioned more than 500,000 yuan for me! If I have a few more such courtiers, do I still need to reform the system? You have made a lot of money one by one, but you have to push off even a little tax, I want to reform the system, you take the previous dynasty to me as an example, I really don't know what your intentions are! From today on, whoever is talking about dragging his feet, he will go home and reflect, figure out whose bench his ass is sitting on, and figure out what he is doing as an official and then come back, if you don't understand, you will go to the last fold to tell the old, one more is not more, one less is not less! ”

Such words are already very heavy, and they mean something, according to common sense, if Wei Zheng, who is the first of them, wants to save face, he should ask to sue the old man at this moment, but Wei Zheng didn't, he knows that the power of the gate valve is already very weak, if he retreats again, there will be no one who can stand up to the general. Although Wang Jingze is a backbone, his foundation is weak, and when he encounters major events, he has no chance to speak.

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Since Your Majesty is so decisive, the minister has nothing to say, but the minister wants to know the specific details of the so-called new policy, whether it is feasible still needs to be discussed." ”

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Chong, and the eldest grandson Chong said: "The Imperial Property Bureau has prepared a specific plan, please ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he took out the prepared fold from his sleeve and was about to present it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I don't have to look at it, you can talk about it directly in front of hundreds of officials, and brainstorm about what is inappropriate." ”

"This ......" Changsun Chong hesitated for a moment and responded.

He opened the fold and said: "The first article of the new deal, within the four seas, is not the king's land, all the land in the world is owned by the imperial court, all belong to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and His Majesty the Tang Emperor has the final right to dispose of it." ”

This is what Li Mu said, and no one in the group has any objections.

"Article 2 of the New Deal: Abolish the uniform land system. Changed to a contract system. The land is divided into three categories, one of which is ration field, which is not divided into men and women, and is granted at birth, with ten acres per capita, and is returned to the field after death, without paying taxes, and cannot be bought and sold. Second, rent land. The maximum per capita is 40 mu, and the income is rented, and the imperial court sets the price to purchase 20% of the income as 'public grain', and the rest can be used at will. The leased land can be subleased, and it is necessary to file with the government, and after the sublease, the original tenant will no longer enjoy the preferential rental. Third, contracted fields. Rations fields, other than leased fields, can be contracted fields, and the qualifications need to be verified. Requirement 1: The contracted land can only be used for cultivation and cannot be used for other purposes. Requirement 2: The contracted land has a minimum yield, and those who fail to reach the yield will be fined and taxed. Those who fail to reach the output for three consecutive years will be disqualified from contracting. Requirement 3: Contracted land is different from taxable field, in addition to collecting what is obtained as a tax, and the imperial court pricing to purchase two as 'public grain', it is necessary to pay an additional 10% tax and an additional 10% of public grain. ”

The amount of information in this paragraph is relatively large, and as soon as the eldest grandson Chong's voice fell, Wei Zheng questioned: "The original uniform field system is 20 mu of Yongye land per capita, and 80 mu of land is divided into fields, and the new policy has been reduced by half, is this good for the people?" ”

Changsun Chong had obviously thought of the possible doubts, so he didn't panic at all, and replied calmly: "In the past, the uniform land system was only granted by the government after the man was twenty years old, and there was no place for the previous twenty years. For example, if the family does not give birth to a man, it means that the family has no land, and if the head of the household dies, there is a widowed old woman and several daughters, all of whom are facing the dilemma of having no land. Even, many people gave birth to daughters, and because they could not get the land, they had to feed them, and they strangled them to death. The solitary yin does not grow, the solitary yang does not grow, over time, there are more men and fewer women, how to reproduce? ”

The new policy of the teacher has greatly improved such problems. Now it has experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, years of war, and floods of the two rivers, and the civil population has reached a low point. If you want to recuperate, everything is empty talk without population. So, what can be done to stimulate population growth? The teacher gave a solution, mortals, both male and female, were born with a field, that is, as long as one more child was born, there would be a land. Although it is only ten acres, it is enough for food rations, and do not forget that these ten acres of land are not subject to any taxes. When children are young, they can't eat so much food, and the extra food can subsidize adults and wealthy families. And after the children grow up, the men rent the land and the women get married, so they don't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing. The eldest grandson Chong said, and couldn't help but admire: "Such good governance, only my mentor can come up with it!" ”

Wei Zheng asked again: "What's the matter with the public grain?" How to determine the so-called one-percent tax? What about the different crops planted? ”
