Chapter 548: Sharp

This simple truth that Li Mu said, in his previous life, can be illustrated by another very simple concept, the three letters G. Every transaction can withdraw a market value, and the overall concept of market value is a manifestation of G.

But this concept of a thousand years later, he can't explain it now, unless he can explain it, so that everyone present can accept the fact that he has traveled after a thousand years.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it's enough to understand the basic concepts. All he wanted was a new policy.

As a standard college student who has studied Chinese history, Li Mu has studied almost all the major land policies in Chinese history, which was the key question in his college entrance examination that year, and it was a mandatory content.

China's main land system is a line that can be traced. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, land was rewarded for military merit and private ownership was allowed. The Qin Dynasty arranged household registration and levy forced labor. The Han Dynasty began to have a poll tax, and during the period from the two Jin and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, a system of poll tax and rent adjustment was established. In the context of the future, it is also very clear in the history textbooks, with the serious land annexation, the rent adjustment can not be implemented, and the Tang Dynasty changed the law and changed to a two-tax system. The household tax and the land tax were separated, and Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, and on this basis, he developed the Tianjun tax law, which divided the households into different levels and levied different taxes.

In the Ming Dynasty Zhang Juzheng period, a whip law was implemented, and the enslavement was merged, and the field endowment, conscription, and miscellaneous labor were apportioned on the acres of the field. In fact, there are already signs of apportioning into the mu, and in the Qing Dynasty, the implementation of the apportionment into the mu, in fact, is also because the original tax policy can not be maintained, the Qing Dynasty in order to maintain its own rule, invite to buy people's hearts, several reasons boiled down to the mu, and the apportionment into the mu came into being.

Is this policy good? In the context of a feudal society, this was already the best land policy. It reduced the economic burden on the landless and landless peasants, because the target of the expropriation was land, and the deregulation of the population greatly contributed to population growth. However, because the number of fields is fixed, the space for government at all levels to be careless has been further reduced, and although it cannot completely eradicate corruption, it has also reduced its space and reduced the pressure on the people in disguise.

It can be said that the policy of apportioning the land into the mu is the culmination of the land policy in the feudal social period. It is a policy that is worth implementing and feasible.

Li Mu seriously considered why before the Qing Dynasty, all dynasties did not think about this kind of policy? In addition to the limitations of thinking, it should be more that the social environment at that time has not come to this point. Moreover, it is difficult to get to this point. Because it must have a premise of "pushing to the beginning", throughout history, the success of land policy reform has been at the beginning of a dynasty, and after the middle stage, the class is fixed, and even the imperial power is difficult to change.

The two-tax system of China and Tang Dynasty, in a sense, only alleviated the disintegration of the country, but did not change the fact of disintegration.

Now is Zhenguan, and it is an opportunity. Li Shimin is a bold hero, and the strength of the gate valve family is at a historical low. If Li Shimin gritted his teeth, he could withstand the pains, make drastic reforms, and leap into a thousand years, it would not be a dream!

Li Mu has already bitterly stated the pros and cons, fought the ministers, and did everything he could do, and now everything is in Li Shimin's thoughts, if he can make up his mind, this thing can be done, if he hesitates, this matter will not be done.

Li Mu, the butterfly that has crossed, can only do it here. At this moment, Li Mu finally felt the limit of the traverser, the final choice of things, whether it was in his hands, the people who really decided history, or these characters in history!

Li Mu didn't speak anymore, just looked at Li Shimin, waiting for his final decision.

All eyes are focused on Li Shimin, Rao is a natural king with a huge heart, and in the face of so many eyes, it is inevitable that his heart will be tight.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and after a short pause, he finally spoke: "A good business tax, a good one will never be added!" I have made up my mind that I cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, and the new deal begins with me! ”

"Your Majesty!" Now, the wood has been completed, and Wei Zheng no longer insists, but he still has to point out the problem: "Li Mu's idea is good, and the ministers also approve of it, but the problem is that the fields that have been cultivated now are still uneven...... If you want to change it, I am afraid that it will cause the field to be barren, even if it is a short-term problem, it is also a great frustration for recuperation! Moreover, the modulation of rent is closely related to the government military system, and it affects the whole body, so I have to be cautious! ”

"What Wei Gong said is extremely true, the kid must not be able to cover all aspects when he puts forward ideas, so he wants Wei Gong to preside over the revision of the law and play a role in checking and filling in the gaps. If I preside over the Fa revision, I will be blinded and counterproductive! ”

"That's right!" Li Shimin saw that Li Mu's sharp edge was recovered, and knew that his goal today had been achieved, so he took over the words to help him round: "Everything, there are two sides of yin and yang, and it must be discussed in order to have a good result. ”

As he spoke, he wanted to retreat from the dynasty, but Wei Zheng stood up again: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been discussed yet, how can you stop the dynasty?" The question that the minister just asked has not yet been answered. What to do if there is a boycott among the people, and what to do if the fields are uneven, these are all thorny questions, if he can't give an answer, he will shout for restructuring, isn't it ridiculous! ”

This remark was immediately echoed by everyone, Li Shimin looked at Li Mu helplessly, and his eyes expressed everything: It's not that I don't help you, but you really provoked the anger of the people, and you can't help!

Li Mu laughed, looked at Wei Zheng and the others, and said: "Duke Wei, I still want to save some face for you, I don't want to compete for the first place in everything and take credit, but seeing that Duke Wei is aggressive and wastes my thoughts, then I will say it, he has to make a good note in the history books, the merits of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Jun accounts for half, the virtuous minister accounts for half, the Ming Jun has only one, the virtuous minister is only one, and all the dukes are all decorations!" ”

Wei Zheng's face turned red with anger, and said, "I don't listen to your useless words, you answer the questions!" ”

"It's very simple, I said at the beginning, the four seas are not the king's land, the court is the landlord, the Tang Emperor is the landlord, and everyone is a tenant. You don't plant, some people plant, don't plant at all, and there are soldiers to plant, who is missing, Datang is still Datang, don't scare people with this! The fields are uneven, it can be discussed, after the chaos, there are few people in the land, if the court wants to resettle, without changing the existing situation, everyone can also get the field, and after a few years, the newly born people have no land, and they can also learn a craft, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, which one does not earn more than farming? The solution is thought up by people, and living people can still suffocate urine to death? ”
