Tianqi can't understand what Liu Zongzhou said about the right to cultivate, if you have land, you can naturally cultivate, if you don't have land, where should you exercise the right to cultivate? You can't just take a hoe and run into someone else's field to declare that you have the right to farm and start digging, right? Tianqi didn't know that for this matter, Liu Zongzhou personally went to the field to ask the old peasants, and asked a lot of people who had no land to rent other people's fields, and they all said that the general landlord would not let them rent their fields one day, because there were such people, they always felt inferior, and they did not dare to offend the landlord, not to mention that even the relatives of the landlord did not dare to offend.

Liu Zongzhou said: "The emperor has the ownership of the land in the world, and the people in the world are the emperor's people. If there is the support of the emperor, no one dares to block the people's right to cultivate, for those landlords, who is not planting? But priority should be given to the landless to cultivate. ”

Speaking of which, it is still necessary for people who have no land to go to other people's fields to farm and exercise their right to cultivate, and they also have to run to the landlord's house to ask for fields to plant. He thought for a moment and said: "There are certain advantages to this in the current situation, but it is all temporary, and the final solution is to gradually nationalize the use of all fields, so that those who want to make money through investment away from the land, which is the long-term way." ”

Seeing the apocalypse, there is a new idea, and this idea is to uproot all the landlords' land and nationalize it, this idea is too difficult, so big that Liu Zongzhou doesn't even dare to think about it now. He smiled bitterly and said: "Let's first let the people exercise the right to cultivate, and then consider nationalizing the right to use when the time is ripe. ”

Liu Zongzhou said this politely, if it is announced now that all land will be nationalized by buying or other means, whether the private landowners will rebel or not, first of all, most of the officials in the court and the royal family will jump out to oppose it. Tianqi thought about it and reacted, shook his head and said: "It seems that I am too anxious, let's slowly implement this cultivation right first, with the cultivation right, the common people can also be righteous and confident, and their right to survive can also be guaranteed, and there will be no tragic situation of 'Zhumen wine and meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road'." ”

After Liu Zongzhou saw that Tianqi agreed with the analysis of the three relationships between the people and the land, he continued with a burst of joy in his heart: "I said this because I was immediately facing the problem of the resettlement of retired soldiers, and then I would talk about the current situation of my Ming soldiers. Although this can reduce the burden on the imperial court, the combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as it is year by year. Due to the existence of military households, the soldiers in many places live together with their families, and this situation of soldiers not soldiers and people does not make the grain output not high, not to mention, people suspect that soldiers who have been farming for a long time will only use hoes to dig people in war. ”

Liu Zongzhou's words made everyone laugh, and Tianqi shook his head and said: "It's an exaggeration to dig up the enemy with a hoe, but the soldiers who study how to farm all day long will definitely not be able to beat the soldiers who specialize in practicing how to kill, what does your Holy Academy think about this situation?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "We have summed up three changes according to the relationship between land and people, the main one is the change of people's identity, and the Holy Academy believes that after the rectification, the army will form a diversion of personnel, and will turn the army of both the army and the people into two parts. Some of them are professional soldiers who fight full-time wars, and the other part of the soldiers are mainly engaged in farming, building houses and roads, and practical skills, and the new tun army is based on war training as a reserve. In this way, the people of military service age in the country are divided into three categories: professional soldiers, semi-military and semi-civilian, and professional households. ”

Apocalypse said: "This is right, where in the world are there so many all-round talents? If you want to do everything, you often can't do anything well, and division of labor and cooperation is the right way. ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "If the emperor wants to abolish the fixed military household and let everyone serve in the military at the right age, he must consider the issue of civilian households joining the army and transferring military households to civilian households after retirement, and this transformation must also be stable, fair and institutionalized." In our view, professional soldiers do not contribute a single tael to the country in peacetime, and they only spend much more money on training and preparation than ordinary civilians, but when national security is threatened, well-trained and loyal professional soldiers are the trustworthy guarantee, and from this point of view, it is necessary to keep professional soldiers alone. ”

Liu Zongzhou's words reminded everyone of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army with millions of people was lost by tens of thousands of people, lost the city and lost the army, it is difficult to say whether it is because the vast majority of the soldiers are semi-professional soldiers, many people are basically farmers with hoes, and when they see the enemy, they will only hide and flee, and there is no hope for such an army.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Zongzhou continued: "Everyone must serve in the military when they reach the right age, but professional soldiers can only be composed of excellent soldiers who like to fight and can fight, and those who don't like to fight and soldiers whose ability declines with age must first retreat to the semi-military and half-civilian cantonment troops, where they can learn various production skills, and when it is time to serve, they can go home and smoothly transition to the emperor's big iron company. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "First of all, everyone is required to serve in the military, is it useless, as long as it is not a cripple, it will be said first, and when the people arrive, they will be trained according to their wishes." Those who have strong ability and want to fight become professional soldiers, those who are not capable enough or do not like to fight enter the cantonment army to farm and practice other skills, and finally return to everyone's hometown to enter the big iron company to collectively farm and work, this idea is very good and can be tried, but first try not to spread it all∞ there is also a question, where does the food and cost of professional soldiers come from? If they don't farm, they have to be raised by other people, who will raise them, have you considered it? ”

Liu Zongzhou nodded and said: "We have discussed and carefully calculated this matter, after the professionalization of the military, there should be no people who are dragged down by their families, and the combat troops and the cantonment troops are the same." In the past, one strong laborer could plant 10 acres of land, and these 10 acres of land could feed five people, but assuming that the number of combat troops was as large as the number of people in the reclamation troops, it was equivalent to one person changing from raising five people to raising two people, and spending food for five people and two people would certainly make everyone live well. The former military land can be converted into official land at the same time, the imperial court can not only collect taxes but also rents, and the soldiers' bodies will be strengthened, and the country's warehouses will be enriched, which is the best of both worlds. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "It is said that it is the best of both worlds, but there is a big hidden danger in it, the previous military field did not pay rent or tax, and many soldiers were yellow and thin under such good conditions, have you thought about the reason?" Now you have to pay both rent and taxes, according to Lord Liu, the soldiers can still live well, are you missing something? ”

Liu Zong was also a little puzzled when he heard this, thought about it and said: "In the past, soldiers had a bad life because they dragged their families, but now they only care about themselves, and they will definitely be able to live better than before." However, this also raises a question, that is, what to do with the elderly in the soldiers' families, what we originally meant was not to recruit only children when conscripting according to the old system, or to draw one out of three and two for five, and then talk about military service for all people when the collective farming system in various places is mature and operational. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "Lord Liu's step-by-step idea is good, but it is only a consideration of the rules, and I am afraid that Lord Liu is not good at some unspoken rules, and it is understandable that he can't consider it." ”

Seeing Liu Zongzhou's blank face, Gao Panlong sighed and said: "This kind of minister knows that the military households of the Ming Dynasty have cultivated military fields for so many years, and it seems that they do not pay rent and taxes, but in fact, the soldiers who farm are not less than the farmers who farm the fields. On the surface, it seems that the military fields are shared by all soldiers, but in fact, most of the military fields have become the private property of the officers, and those who have benefited a lot can plant good fields to have enough food and surplus grain, while those who have given little or no benefits can only plant the fields and starve to death. ”

Liu Zongzhou, King Xin, and others were very angry when they heard this, and asked in unison: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Only Xu Guangqi was not much surprised, and said calmly: "I have also heard of this kind of thing, and I only know that it is true when I hear Lord Gao mention it today." ”

Gao Panlong said: "This kind of thing has existed for many years, we don't need to dwell on who started this rule, as long as we find a way to change it, but I don't know what the emperor is going to do. After speaking, he looked into the eyes of the apocalypse to find the answer.

Tianqi said: "It is necessary to thoroughly investigate and completely eliminate it, there is no way to stop in moderation, but we must take our time and not rush, since it is something that has been formed for a long time, we should not think about cleaning it up in a short time." The officers will certainly not be satisfied if their benefits are intercepted, and they must find a way to make up for the losses of the officers while taking back the military land and turning it into official land, otherwise the system will not work, not to mention that if it is not good, there will be a mutiny. ”

Liu Zongzhou said unwillingly: "This is not the benefit they deserve, the imperial court has never shortened them in terms of rewards for their merits and military merits, will they take risks for the benefits they don't deserve?" ”

Apocalypse said: "Now is the time of many events, more things are better than less things, or find a way to give them some benefits to make up for it ♀ It is also said before, take away a few pieces of candy from others and hand others a few fruits, even if the officials do not need money to do things, they have to ask for money to do things with their hearts, 'the official is as clear as water, smooth as oil' is what it means." As for where the money will come from, I have already figured it out, but I have to find King Xin for this matter.
