This actually involves a very pitiful system in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the family substantially manages various regions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now Chen Xi has pried away the family and given the country the opportunity to regain control of the bottom, but the Eastern Han Dynasty has been crooked for two hundred years, not only the family with a long heritage, but also some powerful landlords who have risen up for three generations.

Small ones like Zhang Fei, who have money, land and guards, but have no official status, although they are a little famous in Shili and Eight Townships, but there are local families pressing on them, in fact, there are not many things they can do.

The big ones are like Mi Zhu, in addition to not having an official title, if you really want to say that the financial and material resources are not inferior to the family, they are very famous in a county, and even if the local family is not too strong, they may need to give each other some face, but they are not actual managers.

And now that Chen Xi has pried away the Central Plains family, forming a power vacuum, these powerful landlords who themselves have a certain reputation have come forward, under the banner of maintaining local stability, and will definitely be able to make the areas within their ability as stable as before.

The biggest problem now is that if the government of the late Han Dynasty could not assign an official to a small village of a few hundred people, but only to the county seat, then the end result would be that the countryside would encircle the city.

Although the big head has been knocked out and there is no restraint of the family, but the powerful landlords outside the city are the same as the original family, each controlling a district, although it is smaller than the power occupied by the family in various places before, but why should I give you a share of the profit!

"By the way, what is the approximate ratio of government and people now?" Chen Xi asked.

"Almost seven thousand five hundred to one." Lu Su said helplessly, which is why Lu Su said that it is inevitable to share the profits of the powerful landlords, because it is impossible to get an official to manage a small village of hundreds of people.

"Gather villages and villages, gather villages and villages!" Chen Xi said with an unhappy face.

"I've already thought about it, if you collect villages and merge villages, not to mention how to deal with the powerful landlords, you just say how to distribute the acres, if one person is fifty acres, have you thought about it, a standard village, with your standard of 3,000 to 5,000 people, how much space do you need?" Li You said a little helplessly.

"Ten miles away, I've calculated it before." Chen Xi said without thinking about it, "A standard village of 3,000 people. ”

"And what about the inflow of people after that? Someone was born? Li You looked at Chen Xi and said, "Your way is indeed easy to manage, but how to deal with follow-up problems?" ”

"Well, the land of the family has been collected by the government, and the people only have the right to farm, and how much land the people can have now, in fact, after the village is merged, the so-called fifty acres of land are more donated by us." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

How much land can the people of the late Han Dynasty have, Chen Xi knows with his feet, there will definitely not be too much, if there is really a lot, the people will not go to farm for the family, the strong, and the landlord.

Therefore, when dividing it, although all the land is subject to the same tax, and all have 50 acres, it is different from house to family, and it is more accurate to make up 50 acres of land, not the land that will be distributed to the people forever.

"What about the number of people?" Li You looked at Chen Xi expressionlessly and said.

"Then each family must have a little less." Chen Xi had a natural expression, "Our government's own land, how to divide it is the government's own business, and even let them re-divide it every ten years, so that there is no question of whether the land is good or bad, anyway, it is planted in turn." ”

The corners of Lu Su's mouth twitched, I didn't expect there to be such a trick, but it is indeed a good way to solve the problem, but the disadvantages are also very big.

"The problem is that the disadvantages of doing this are not small, and the saints are not suffering from inequality." Lu Su spoke after a while.

"After a long time, if there are fewer people in some villages, there will be more and more acres of land for each family, and if there are more people in some villages, the acres of land for each family will continue to decrease, so it is unfair." Li You said with a frown.

"Ha, it's not a problem, the land is decreasing, they can choose to move out, since they don't move out, the land becomes smaller and has their own responsibilities, no one wants their land to become smaller, there are only two options: controlling the population and expanding the territory." Chen Xi spread his hands and said indifferently.

"You just want to pick up cheap in the rear, then you just guard the land given to you by the country and think about how to survive better, the country can only give you a basic standard of living, if you want a higher and better, then you will fight for it." Chen Xi pursed his lips disdainfully and said.

"The world is very big, there are more places to farm, just thinking about picking up cheap in the back, the fifty acres of land is the basis for your survival given by the state, don't think about the rest." Chen Xi said indifferently, "Oh, maybe there won't be fifty acres left." ”

"Aren't you afraid of turmoil when you play like this?" Li You was silent for a while and spoke.

"Liu Weishuo is engaged in propaganda, don't you even know this? Tell them that they want to live a better life and create it themselves, it's not good to mix it because you're lazy, the country has given you the foundation for survival, don't blame the country for being such a dog, you see that people are so-and-so, expanding their territory, and now they have become landlords! Chen Xi pursed his lips and said.

"......" Li You and Lu Su were silent, and suddenly found that Chen Xi's approach seemed to be very funny, and indeed why did those people who were messing around in the back fight with others to be fair.

"Okay, in this case, then there is no problem, continue to merge villages, three standard villages, we need to set up an official position, after all, according to your habits, the land of the village must be planned in a square." Li You made sure that this was indeed no problem after a while, and spoke.

"A village of 3,000 people needs to have a doctor who works as a veterinarian, and you can also build a road, build a primary school, and equip it with a militia, so that other infrastructure needs to be built." Chen Xi touched his chin and said.

In a small village of a few hundred people, Chen Xi really does not have so many doctors, the road construction plan needs to be postponed for a long time, and all other infrastructure will basically not be arranged in that kind of small village.

Therefore, if you don't go to a big village, it is a waste to get a lot of things, and the advantage of merging villages is here, and the resource utilization rate is higher.

"Indeed, a village of 3,000 people is qualified to be equipped with these, and it is necessary to consider water conservancy construction, and small villages are really meaningless." Li You nodded, "In that case, just do it according to this, and if the homeland is difficult to separate, merge nearby." ”

"If it's close, what if there's a grudge?" Lu Su has seen two neighboring villages turn into mortal enemies because of water problems.

"That's the problem, too? Demolition of the clan, now those villages are basically a place with one surname and one family, demolition, this village is stuffed with five households, and that village is stuffed with five households, so that all surnames and households don't have an advantage! Chen Xi said unhappily.

"Okay, Zichuan, you're enough, this kind of thing is impossible, you have to make people angry and complain about it." Li You waved his hand and said, "Forced eviction, with our ability, we can do it, but if we demolish the clan, if the government does this, it will definitely make people angry." ”

"Okay, then merge nearby, separate the hateful, powerful landlords, check the local reputation, if you are not evil, then give him two choices, one is to redeem the land by the state and suppress him to less than a thousand acres, and the other is to let him go to the northeast as well." Chen Xi thought for a moment and said.

Chen Xi didn't say how to deal with the evil, in fact, everyone knew that of course it was dealt with according to law, and then the land was confiscated, and it should be killed and punished.

"If you move to the Northeast, it's okay." Li You nodded, in fact, Chen Xi's words have been said very clearly, the landlord with a good reputation of more than 1,000 acres is actually a little self-motivated, and he is even looking for a way to pass it on to his family.

The so-called rich heirloom is only three generations, if you want to really let your own family pass on, you must find a way to turn your own family into a farming heirloom, or even a moral heirloom, the so-called moral heirloom is, in fact, to put it bluntly, a certain ideological doctrine.

Most of the families of the Eastern Han Dynasty evolved from the pre-Qin aristocracy, so they mostly have some moral heirloom factors in it, as for the powerful landlords of normal later generations, if they want to pass it on, what they hope is more to cultivate and read the heirloom, as for the latter one, to be honest, there is no saint in the family, or the pioneer of the school basically don't think about it.

Since those people have this kind of thought, Chen Xi has no intention of stopping it, their willingness to do so is also beneficial to Chen Xi, if they can die less, they will die less, in the end, manpower is also an extremely important resource.

"In this case, let's implement it according to the previous plan, it's not that I haven't done it before, and if I do it now, I also have experience, it shouldn't take too much time, which of you two has time?" Chen Xi saw that there was no problem with the two of them, so he asked.

Li You thought for a moment, "I'll come, it just so happens that this work is also part of the household registration, and doing so is equivalent to recompiling the household registration." ”

"Okay, then it's up to you, but I'm very strange, you've been doing it for several years, how do you feel like you've been doing it?" Chen Xi asked with a little curiosity, if I remember correctly, I started doing household registration when Li Youcai came a few years ago, and I am still doing it.

"There are slight adjustments, and I am constantly revising and adjusting, and I will also scrap part of the household registration." The corners of Li You's eyes pulled down slightly, and he said seemingly peacefully, "But it's not a big problem, and a real household registration will be issued after a while." ”

"Okay, how is the bridge over there repaired, and how is the thing I arranged for Zheng Wengong to do." Chen Xi diverted the topic and turned his head to Lu Su and asked, these things were arranged before he left, and he didn't know how he was doing now.
