After watching the excitement, the people of Liujiazhuang all said hello to Liu Laoba, killing thieves was meritorious, and the court rewarded twenty-five taels of silver, which is a lot of money.

"Liu Laoba, let's come out to play, this hungry and thirsty, come to your house to ask for a bowl of water to drink!" Zhu Yijun said to Liu Laoba with a smile.

This time Zhu Yijun came out to visit the people, where to go, this Liu Laoba is very interesting, Zhu Yijun is going to go to his house to have a look. This also has something to do with Liu Laoba's identity, a retired soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers in the Beijing camp are all treasures, and many retired soldiers have been arranged.

Some entered the Taxation Division, some entered the Yamen of the Imperial History of the City Patrol in various places, some entered the Yamen of civil servants, and even joined the Inner Factory and the East Factory.

There are not many people like Liu Laoba who have returned to the local area, but after the military reform, many other military households have been released.

Zhu Yijun wanted to take a look at Liu Laoba's life and understand his state, which can be regarded as an understanding of another direction for the retired soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. By the way, I also looked at Liu Laoba's living standard in Liujiazhuang, and learned how the people were doing.

"Of course it's good!" Liu Laoba hurriedly said: "It's just that the family is simple, and I'm afraid that I will treat you slowly." ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Where is this, lead the way ahead." ”

Liujiazhuang is not far from the place of the incident, and Zhu Yijun and his party walked forward under the guidance of Liu Laoba, because the distance was close, and they did not take the car. Zhu Yijun also wants to see the idyllic scenery, although the land is bare now.

Zhu Yijun looked at the flat land on both sides of the road, imagining the grand occasion after farming, and was in a good mood.

"Liu Laoba, whose land does this land belong to?" Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Laoba and asked with a smile, "Do you have land?" ”

In this era, land is the largest means of production, which Zhu Yijun is powerless to change, and he can't change it. The system is a feudal monarchy system with land as the largest means of production, which Zhu Yijun can't change and doesn't want to change.

The feudal system is characterized by the division of fiefdoms by the co-lord or the central dynasty to the members of the clan, the royal family and the meritorious heroes, and its basic form is the feudal hierarchy and the manor system.

A very important factor in maintaining this system is the system of private ownership of land.

If we do not change all the nature of land, simply restricting land annexation is actually unreasonable and violates the law of development. To change the land ownership system, then the ruling foundation of the feudal system will be cut off.

Zhu Yijun is the emperor, the biggest beneficiary of the feudal imperial system, and should also be the biggest supporter.

To change the attributes of the land and cut off the foundation of one's own rule, isn't it your own life? Zhu Yijun's head is not broken yet. This is also why Zhu Yijun does not touch the land attributes, and there is no restriction on even land annexation.

Zhu Yijun severely cracked down on the concealment of land reports, the non-payment of taxes on land, the unscrupulous seizure of land, and the establishment of a perfect system of grain prices and relief grain, but this did not change the status of the landlord class.

The basis of your rule is the landlord class, if you dig up their roots, it is equivalent to cutting off your own roots, and the emperor is the biggest landlord in the world!

No one will object to this, whether it is the powerful or the common people, and everyone thinks that this is right. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this cannot be changed.

The world is all over the world, the world is your family, what do you want to do?

Zhu Yijun asked Liu Laoba this question, in fact, he wanted to ask whether the land annexation of Liujiazhuang was serious. Since the crackdown on donations, the promotion of new crops, and the promotion of commerce, the price of land has actually been falling.

If it weren't for the fact that the people of the Ming Dynasty had a homeland, it is estimated that the land price would have fallen a long time ago.

When Liu Laoba heard Zhu Yijun ask, he hurriedly said: "This piece of land belongs to Uncle Liu's family in Zhuangshang, and he is also the patriarch. ”

"That's a lot of land!" Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Laoba and asked, "Is there a trick to rob?" ”

Liu Laoba hurriedly shook his head: "A few years ago, these lands were all contributed, and the land of Liujiazhuang was also invested in Master Liu's house. However, after the imperial court did not allow the contribution, Master Liu bought all the land. ”

"Those who came from the government to preside over and those who were unwilling to sell to Master Liu were also returned to everyone."

"Everyone is of the same clan and clan, how could Master Liu take advantage of it here." Liu Laoba said with a smile: "Who's family encountered some horses with short stirrups, and Master Liu also helped." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, in fact, after understanding the landlords of this era in detail, Zhu Yijun found that it was still different from what he knew.

The large landlords, mainly clans, depended on their families for their entire clan to live, and the land was not paid to the land, but only tenant rent. Rent reduction in good years, and relief in disaster years they have been doing for a long time.

Repairing bridges and repairing roads is also a proper meaning, the bridge collapses, the road is broken, and the government will first ask the nearby big families.

This is an opportunity for large families to do good deeds, and at the same time to save the government a sum of money. Every big family of Zhuangzi will not squeeze their clan too much, but will take care of it.

The patriarchal law between the clans is strict, the management is strict, and the respect is also very strict.

It's just that the agricultural economy in this era is too fragile, and once it encounters a catastrophe, the big households will be very powerless. In addition, everyone is used to not paying taxes, and the court is also very weak, so it naturally becomes turbulent.

In many cases, the patriarchal law is better used than the national law, and many times it is the patriarch who solves the matter.

The emperor raises a group of noble ministers, and the family will raise confidants, among whom the same clan and clan are the biggest henchmen. In this era, no one can afford to forget the crime of forgetting one's ancestors and betraying one's ancestors.

Originally, when Zhu Yijun came over, his idea was basically that the landlord was squeezing the tenants, the tenants were miserable, they couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, they wore rags and clothes to farm, and the tenants' daughters were the playthings of the landlord's family.

After 20 years in Daming, Zhu Yijun realized how wrong his idea was.

Is this the case? Yes, but it did not appear in the provinces of Daming, but in the military households, which were servants of the generals, and they lived like this.

Under this system, what Zhu Yijun wants to do, in fact, is also very powerless, and if he wants to implement the imperial power to the countryside, it really has to be worked hard.

The scholar squire, who pays attention to the benefit of the township and the blessing of his descendants, even if it is Yan Song, he also takes a lot of care of his hometown. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, no matter what the character of the official in the dynasty was, there was no official who did not take care of his hometown.

Exploiting the loopholes of the imperial court, there is no country in his heart, but he definitely has a home, and Ze is a township, which is really not to say.

The Liujiazhuang in front of Zhu Yijun is the most typical situation under the current system of the Ming Dynasty. The whole Zhuangzi is of the same clan and clan, and there are big households in the Zhuangzi who have passed the Jinshi examination, and the whole Zhuangzi depends on the big families to live.
