Soon after this meeting, Xu Fuzi and others finally came up with a specific plan. In the end, the plan was handed over to Li Xin, waiting for his decision. For the sake of this matter, Li Xin had to convene everyone to discuss it again.

"This plan has been seen by the king! Overall, there are no major problems. But the regulations for these families are not particularly clear! After Li Xin read it, he expressed his opinion.

"Your Highness, please!" Xu Fuzi hurriedly bowed and said.

"First, we want to increase the population, release the people hidden in the various clans and monasteries, and at the same time weaken the power of these clans. But this does not mean that we have to completely wipe out these great families. After all, not all of these families are bad, and there are still a lot of talents among them! Their family has a big business, and after we abolish the system of shady customers and tenants, we should allow them to hire the people to work in order to maintain agricultural production! ”

"Second, we can't forcibly take back all the property of these big families. After all, many of these lands were rightly bought by their ancestors with money. We might as well pay a certain amount of money to redeem it and buy it back, and then distribute it to the people to cultivate. ”

"Third, the tax collectors of the big families should also be the same as ordinary people! Everyone pays taxes according to the amount of land and family assets, and it is all fair. In this way, we have to have a policy of redemption and a tax according to the amount of land. The great families who had lost a large number of tenant servants were bound to be unable to maintain a large number of fields, and at the same time they had to pay a lot of taxes as a result. Presumably, they will be more than willing to sell these extra fields to the government! ”

"Fourth, and extremely important! The sale of human beings must be banned! But whoever buys or sells human beings, the sin of the buyer is twice as severe as that of the seller! Slaves were not allowed to be owned by the great families, and all those who needed to be hired had to sign a contract stipulating the hours of employment and monthly wages. But whoever harms the lives of the servants of the lord's house will be convicted by the government! ”

"In short, after this incident, we must try our best to ensure that all the clans have equal rights and obligations with ordinary people. Except for those who have received awards, such as the families of soldiers who died in battle, who can be relieved, no one else can escape responsibility! Li Xin said four things in one breath, in fact, this is something he has been thinking about for a long time.

If we talk about these points, it is very touching for these officials present. Because after several years of development, these people can already be regarded as interest groups with certain assets.

For example, the sale of slaves is not allowed, which is basically a normal thing in this era. Therefore, Li Xin suddenly wanted to ban this matter, which really surprised everyone.

Of course, slaves! Ordinary people can't use this thing, and as long as the family has money, they don't have to worry about not being able to hire it. Therefore, the resistance in everyone's hearts is not so strong.

What really makes everyone feel difficult is to crack down on the privileges of the big families, I'm afraid it will make those big families in the territory and the powerful people from all over the country stand up against it.

If Wang Meng and the others just feel that it is difficult to do, those real families will probably feel like a thunderbolt from the sky. After all, this is tearing down their foundations!

In the past, they were able to walk sideways, and they could be powerful, but now they have to be as equal as those lowly people and slaves, how could they be willing.

"According to His Highness's words, I am afraid that this matter will be too touched, and once it is implemented, I am afraid that it will encounter unprecedented opposition!" Wang Meng pondered for a long time before he said slowly.

"This king knows, that's why I told you to keep it a secret in advance! Our Datang has developed to this point, and there are many things that this king does not say, and you all understand. Our goal after that is that we have to go all out. In order to achieve this goal, we must give full play to Datang's potential and maximize our strength. All these initiatives may be chaotic for a while, but in the long run, it will definitely be worth it! Li Xin knew what he was worried about, but he still said resolutely.

"Fortunately, there are not many families in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the imperial court~ There are not many people who are born in the family. In addition, the whole army supports Your Highness very much, presumably there is no big problem in this matter! Tian He thought for a while, and then said.

"That's why! So, next, the military department must be prepared first! Before the implementation of this plan, the herald ordered all parts of the border to seal and close the doors, and before this matter is completed, the Datang border is only allowed to enter and not leave! At the same time, the town armies in all localities must strictly guard against what may happen and strictly prevent someone from taking risks! In addition, for the garrison generals in various places, the king will first issue a secret order, once the situation is severe and the local government cannot suppress it, the garrison generals will take over the places and be responsible for clearing them! Li Xin nodded and said in a deep voice.

When they heard this, they all understood. Obviously, this time, Li Xin did not intend to use soft means to complete the matter of earth breaking, but planned to use iron-blooded means to carry it out. Let's see who is smart and who is stupid and will jump down this guillotine by himself!

Everyone also understands that Li Xin has already made up his mind in this matter, and he and others can't change it, so they can only do their best to implement it!

"Let's see if they're smart or not! If you honestly follow the rules, everything will be fine, otherwise, don't blame the king's subordinates for being ruthless! Today, Li Xin's killing aura is getting heavier and heavier, and it can be described as powerful.

At the end of October, the first earth break in the history of Datang officially began.

This time, the policy was not revealed in advance, so many people felt very sudden after hearing it. But for them it was sudden, and for the government, especially for the center of the court in Chang'an, it was already ready.

In order to carry out this matter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent an inspector of the imperial history to each county to supervise the process of the land break, and the General Administration Department was secretly supervising the matter. In this way, it is equivalent to supervising this matter on both sides of the light and dark, and it is difficult to make things go smoothly!

In the local government offices, some officials are quite resistant to this matter. Because they themselves may also be from a certain family, this ruin can be said to have touched their own interests.

Therefore, when they do this, they will inevitably be a little cringe, even procrastinating. As for such officials, after being reprimanded by the officials, if they do not change their ways, they will be directly dismissed on the spot.

Li Xin wants to seize people's land and property, and he also wants to disintegrate his own power, which is intolerable for many families. Everyone had agreed to oppose this together, and secretly they had already begun to contact each other.

But at this time, the town troops in various places began to make frequent sorties, although the slogan was to eliminate bandits, especially the remnants of the rebels. But in fact, these soldiers and horses are basically the territory of those blacklisted families.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Jun has already begun to sharpen his knives and is ready to take those who dare to jump out. In such a situation, the vast majority of people choose to shrink their heads. After all, if there is no life, there is really nothing.

In particular, the Tang Dynasty did not completely block the road, and for those who were willing to participate in the redemption policy, the government did not lower the price because of this. Therefore, after repeated trade-offs, most people still chose to give in.

Especially some families who were originally close to the government, such as the salt merchants and the iron industry in the past, etc., these people had a relatively high degree of dependence on the government. So, after the New Deal order was issued, they were the first to respond.

And when everyone started to slowly join in, they found that although they seemed to have lost some benefits, they didn't seem to have lost too much if they really counted them. As a result, everyone is even more reluctant to go against the government.

In addition, the people everywhere were already supportive of the government's action, especially the many tenant slaves who saw the ordinary people get the land and then live their own lives.

In the past, they wanted to get out and had no way out, but now, the government has given them a way out, and it's no wonder they don't hurry up.

Anyway, after the initial difficulties, things slowly began to unfold.

Two months later, before the end of the year, Datang's first soil break was almost over. After this land break, there were as many as 300,000 or 400,000 people in Datang at once, which shows the seriousness of the problem of hidden household registration in the past.

For these people, the government arranged for them to settle in those vast and sparsely populated places, and at the same time gave them ploughing cattle, farming tools, and seeds. Coupled with the tax exemption policy within three years, these newly liberated populations are willing to cooperate.

This is the benefit obtained on the surface, and the benefit in the secret is naturally that those big families, because of the weakening of their strength, have to obey the government's orders more, and it is no longer possible to act as wantonly as in the past~ things.

In this way, the control of the Tang Dynasty government over all parts of the territory has reached an unprecedented level, and everything is in the hands of it, and the forces in the territory can be mobilized at will and used in a centralized manner.

Compared with Yanjin or Liangzhou, after this rather complete earth break, Datang is more like a new start after subtracting the weight and refining it.

Therefore, from this moment on, Datang has already begun to embark on the fast track of development.
