Li Yang did not say alarmist, the land annexation issue of the Qin State had seriously hindered the development of the Great Qin Empire, and even threatened the rise and fall of the Great Qin Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of nouveau riche class, in the past ten years, annexed most of the land of the Qin State, the whole country, the poor and the poor.

Although the state collects the land tax, the people do not have enough to eat, and if there is a famine like this year, the land tax received by the state is not enough to help the victims.

In the long run, there are only two ways for the Qin State, one is to ensure social stability, so it can only take out the money and grain from the treasury every year to improve the people's livelihood and solve the people's food and clothing, the result is that the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done, so the country has been weak for a long time, and it is estimated that the Xiongnu can destroy Great Qin.

The other is to ignore the famine of the people in the world, and if they rebel, they will suppress it by force, but in this way, the Qin State will die faster. In the historical Qin State, it was because of the outbreak of a large-scale peasant uprising that the Great Qin Empire collapsed.

Therefore, the current people of Qin State are in great need of recuperation.

However, there are nearly 20 million people in the Qin State, but the land is in the hands of hundreds of thousands of nouveau riche, even if the world is given ten years to recuperate, the people of the world will still be miserable, and the result of the people's misery.

Therefore, only with land reform, so that all the people in the world have self-cultivated land, can Daqin have hope.

"How can land be reformed? Reassigned? Ying Zheng frowned.

Li Yang shook his head and said, "It can't just be redistributed, because after the redistribution, in a few years, the land of the poor will still be annexed by the local tyrants, which is not a long-term solution." ”

"Then how do you plan to reform the land?" Ying Zheng wondered.

"Just eight words, nationalized, land contracting!" Li Yang said sonorously.

"Nationalization, land contracting?" Ying Zheng frowned.

Li Yang nodded: "That's right, the land reform policy that the minister said means that the land will be nationalized, and then the land will be contracted according to the equal distribution of the population of each household." Your Majesty, the nature of the land belongs to the state, and the people contract the land from the state for cultivation, so they only have the right to use it, but not the ownership, so they cannot buy and sell it privately, so that the land annexation can be completely eliminated and the problem of food and clothing can be completely solved. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You are still smart, this land reform policy can indeed be done once and for all, so as to permanently ensure that everyone has self-cultivated land, and even as long as the state continues this land policy, there will not be any land annexation problems for a thousand years." Not bad, very good! ”

Li Yang smiled: "Actually, this is not what the minister came up with, but the new China of later generations, which implemented this kind of land contract system, which directly solved the problem of land annexation for thousands of years." ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he suddenly said: "Oh, since this land reform policy has been verified in later generations, it is even better, and my Great Qin will use this land system to implement land reform!" ”

Although Li Yang was very happy that the land reform policy could be recognized by Yingzheng, he had a lot of worries.

Because of the implementation of the land reform policy, this is tantamount to directly attacking the scholars and nouveau riche of Daqin, completely harming their interests, which is very fatal.

The reason why Shang Ying in history ended up in a bad end was actually because he offended the nobles and damaged their interests, so when Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Ying ushered in a catastrophe.

Therefore, for Li Yang, this land reform is like the Shang Dynasty reform, which is a reform that directly harms interest groups, and this reform will inevitably push itself to the forefront.

The reason why no one opposed the new law in the past and the light conscription was that these reforms not only did not affect the interests of the nobles, but were beneficial to them and harmless.

For example, in the past, the common people were too heavy and there was a shortage of labor, and the land of the nouveau riche could not find tenant farmers to cultivate. Although the land of the nouveau riche was not cultivated, they still had to pay the field tax every year, so the forced labor was too heavy, which directly damaged the interests of the landlord class of the nouveau riche. Therefore, Li Yang's policy of light conscription is not so much to allow the people to recuperate, but rather to seek benefits for the nouveau riche of the Shi clan, and they all approve of it with both hands.

Today's land reform policy is completely opposite, the nouveau riche not only have to nationalize the annexed land, but even the land they have acquired through meritorious service must be nationalized, redistributed, and changed to a contract system. If they don't resist this kind of change, which seriously harms their interests, Li Yang won't believe it.

Ying Zheng seemed to see Li Yang's worries, and said, "Are you worried that some people will resist land reform?" ”

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, the land reform has directly harmed the interests of the nouveau riche and other landlord classes of the scholars, and it will inevitably cause their resistance!" And more importantly, to offend them so much, I am afraid ......"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said, "With me supporting you, what are you afraid of, is it difficult for anyone to dare to disobey my decree!" ”

Li Yang rolled his eyes: "It's not that the minister is afraid that the new land reform policy cannot be implemented. ”

Ying Zheng was stunned and said in surprise: "Then what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Yang spread his hands and looked shameless: "In case the minister becomes the second Shang Ying, the minister is thankful!" ”

Ying Zheng's face was black......

I thought that the person who could say the words "set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations" is a man who is fearless and a true gentleman with what a noble character.

However, now it seems that ......

It's that I'm thinking too much!

This guy, where is a gentleman, he is clearly a real villain.

Ying Zheng was also drunk, and snorted coldly: "I have never seen such a timid and fearful person as you, land reform must be implemented, you have to do this if you don't do it, if you don't help me offend people, do you want me to offend people personally." ”

Li Yang fainted directly, you are a villain than me!

At this time, Ying Zheng pondered for a while and said, "By the way, land reform, have you thought of a specific plan?" ”

Li Yang nodded and replied: "The minister thinks that the land reform can be divided into two steps, the first step is to nationalize the land of the whole country, and give the nouveau riche of the noble clan according to their titles, and give corresponding money, in this form to recover the land that was originally awarded to them, which can alleviate their resistance. The second step is to distribute land according to households and implement the land contract system. ”

Ying Zheng nodded: "I think your plan is already very feasible, so let's do it!" Don't worry, I have your back, whether it is a prince or a minister, or a royal family, if anyone dares to take revenge on you for this matter, or ruin my Great Qin land reform plan, you can cut it first and then play, even if the sky falls, I will stand up for you! ”

"Whoa!" Li Yang immediately received the order.

In fact, for Li Yang, offending the nouveau riche of the scholar clan is a matter of concern. However, that is only worth worrying about, Li Yang does not think that he will really become the second Shang Ying.

Because this time is different from the past, first, today's Qin is no longer the Qin of a hundred years ago, today's prince Fusu, and not the prince of Qin Xiaogong.

The reason why Shang Ying died was more because he changed the law, and because of the implementation of the law, he killed many scholars. More importantly, the prince broke the law, and in order to enforce the law fairly, he made the prince exiled, and the prince who supervised the prince's Ying Qian was sentenced to execution, and the grandson Jia, who educated the prince, was sentenced to death.

Ying Qian was a member of the Qin royal family, Gongsun Jia was a member of the old aristocracy, and the crown prince was the future king, and Shang Ying offended the three of them to the core. In addition, Shang Ying is a lonely minister. A solitary minister is a courtier who does not collude with friends, has no foundation in the court, and is only loyal to the king. Shang Ying is undoubtedly such a person, he entrusted all his net worth and life to Yingquliang.

Therefore, as soon as the monarch dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, Shang Ying's death becomes inevitable.

And this land reform is different, when the emperor unified the six countries, because he was worried that the land was not enough to divide the seal, he had already implemented the reward method of annual salary, just like the retirement salary of later generations, although you retired, but according to the corresponding title of your meritorious service, you can receive the corresponding salary every year, so as to ensure life. Therefore, this land reform can directly and comprehensively implement this method of replacing land and military industry with annual income.

In the words of later generations, it is land expropriation + compensation and resettlement.

In this way, the upstarts have not suffered a big loss in a broad sense. In addition, with Qin Shi Huang, the founding emperor, no one dared to resist against the order.

In this way, no one dares to fight desperately, there is no need to kill, and Li Yang will not have a deep enmity with those nouveau riches.

In addition, the land reform will not offend Fusu, Fusu is Li Yang's own student, and this relationship is solid enough, and it is different from Shang Ying.

More importantly, Shang Ying implemented the law and was a lonely minister, while he himself implemented comprehensive reforms and added various departments, so it can be said that the new policy was implemented, and many power organs in the government were their own people.

In addition, the implementation of the imperial examination system in the future will squeeze the status of the nouveau riche of the scholar clan, and how can those old scholars boast about themselves?

It is precisely because he understands these differences that Li Yang dares to implement land reform, because he believes that the heroes of the reform will not necessarily end up with Shang Ying and Wang Mang, but may also be the Duke of Deng in later generations.

It is worth mentioning that in Li Yang's view, the current Daqin is actually very similar to New China.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, New China carried out land reform, confiscated landlords' land, abolished the land system of feudal exploitation, implemented a land system in which the cultivators had their own land, and distributed land equally according to the rural population. The name is said, turn over and be the master, so that the poor people can have their own land.

Then, in the following year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land allocated to the peasants was nationalized and changed to a collective system.

It was not until the 80s that the land reform was carried out again, and the land was distributed to households and changed to a contract system.

And the current Qin State, is also about the same, ten years ago, the Qin State in order to unify the plan, shouting to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to divide the land, now unified, to re-nationalize the divided land, it is also feasible, after all, the founding emperor of the Qin State Qin Shi Huang is also on the throne, in him, there is nothing that cannot be done, not to mention that unlike New China, we can still use Yulu to compensate and settle those of you who fought and made meritorious contributions at the beginning, so that you can always receive a salary, this treatment can be close to the land expropriation policy in the 21st century, Very user-friendly and fair.

Moreover, after the land is nationalized, it is not that you upstarts will no longer have land, but that land will still be allocated to you, but not as much as before, but you have a subsidy.

In addition, the Qin State has a more advantageous point than the original nationalization of land in New China, that is, the Qin State is different from other countries in the Warring States Period, in the Qin State, the common people did not have private land.

True, before the unification of the Qin state, land was not allowed to be bought and sold and hereditary.

The Qin State allocated land and houses according to the rank of officials, while the peasants granted land, which was a state distribution system.

When civilians reach adulthood, the government will allocate a certain amount of land, and when they fight, they are all soldiers, and the whole country is a soldier, and when they are not fighting, they will farm.

The more meritorious service there is, the more land is allocated, but these fields are state-owned, and after the death of this person, the imperial court will take back the fields.

On the eve of the battle, the general Wang Jian asked the king of Qin for land and hoped that the king of Qin would grant him the privilege of hereditary land, but the king of Qin politely refused. Therefore, before the unification, the land of the Qin State was originally nationalized and non-private.

Now, it's just a redistribution, and it's not too difficult.

Therefore, in Li Yang's view, if Great Qin wants to carry out land reform, it is the right time for Qin Shi Huang to still reign at this time. However, if it continues to be delayed, the nature of land privatization will be deeply entrenched, especially until the second Qin Dynasty, and then thinking about land reform may be really unrealistic, and in a serious case, it may shake the rule of the society.

PS: In order to make the land reform policy seem to be implementable, the logical evidence in this chapter accounts for most of it. The next chapter, estimated at two or three o'clock in the morning.
