Looking at the change of dynasties in China for thousands of years, if you look closely, it is actually a history of agrarian revolution. The root of everything is nothing more than the redistribution of interests.

A dynasty was established, which was good at first, but in the later period, the politics were corrupt, the land was annexed, the magnates were rampant, the people were miserable, and the king was powerless. So when he saw that the people who couldn't survive, they climbed up and shouted, and the responders gathered. Murder and rebellion. If it succeeds, the original interest group will be eliminated and the new interest group will be rewarded.

It's just that the new interest groups, after several generations, their children and grandchildren will forget the teachings of their ancestors, and from then on embark on a path that their ancestors opposed and fought again. Wantonly annexed the land and forced the good people into slavery. Regardless of the lives of the people. As long as you can spend all your time drinking and living happily. As for whether the court can collect taxes, what does it matter to them?

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Perhaps there are sober scholars who can keenly see the crisis in this world. After all, it is a rare elite class in the world, how can it be possible to say that they are stupid. Most of the time, they actually know very well in their hearts that they are just pretending to be stupid one by one. They don't annex, others are annexing. In that case, why should we be left behind and suffer this loss?

Those fart people rebelled, isn't there still a court army that can suppress it? But who forced the people to rebel, they all chose to forget. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen lost the rivers and mountains, and some people would say that the wild boar in Jianzhou was about to rebel, and it was the Xiaoice River that had many disasters. Actually, this is not the main reason. The main reason is that the people have lost their land, and the court cannot collect taxes from them. Therefore, the people couldn't bear it anymore, so they raised their heads against him.

Are there few capable ministers and famous generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Mao Wenlong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, etc., which of these can't be beaten? Even in the peasant army, there are people like Li Dingguo who can fight the Qing Dynasty and the prince is killed. If it weren't for the rebellion of the people in the country, it would have been a mess. Give the Jianzhou Jurchens another 500 years, and they will not be able to enter the Shanhaiguan.

Liu Bei has accumulated countless experiences in the years of southern and northern wars. This era was the time when the power of the family was extremely high. Since the late Western Han Dynasty, the power of the gate valve has occupied the court. They became more and more dissatisfied with the old Liu family, so they began to look for a new spokesperson for their interests.

Pick and choose, choose Wang Mang. Wang Mang is a relative and behaves very well. So he was pushed to the front by the gate valves. As a result, Wang Mang came to power, but he vigorously carried out land reform and abolition reform. As for the rest of the policy, that's not much of a deal.

Wang Mang's forced land redistribution and ban on the sale of slaves and maids seriously infringed on the interests of the clansmen. The final result was that not long after, Wang Mang betrayed his relatives and left. Then Liu came to power again.

Wise and martial, Liu Xiu, who was nicknamed the son of the plane by later generations, the Emperor of Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, can he not know the horror of the gate valve? He knows. But he couldn't do anything.

Just as he was about to make a move, he wanted to send people to check the land and household registration in the world, but as a result, countless people rebelled. Although Liu Xiu carried out a tough crackdown, after the bloodbath, he had to compromise and appease. Because he himself and his group of old buddies are also proud. He can't be in the middle of the class and come against the class.

As a result, the issue of land annexation, since Liu Xiu, began to gradually become fierce again. Then when it came to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, all kinds of contradictions broke out intertwined, and the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao appeared on the stage of history gorgeously. The Yellow Turban Army was quickly suppressed, but its ghost still roams the land of Kyushu. The impact of this has been felt to the present day.

Liu Bei unified the north, confiscated the borderless land, recruited displaced people, and divided the land while reclaiming it. Over the years, the results have been fruitful. So how to defend the fruits of victory and stick to it has become an important question for Liu Bei to think about.

Reunification is important, but the land is there, and it will not run. If the internal problems are not solved, then the trouble is big. If the foundation is not firm, the earth will shake the mountains. What Liu Bei has to do now is to consolidate his foundation more solidly.

Thanks to the Yellow Turban Army, thanks to the princes for the melee. The original landlords in the north were either self-reliant (such as the Yuan brothers), or they were killed in the chaos, or they abandoned their family property and fled south with their families. Especially the vast royal clans in the north. The two Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years, from the beginning of Liu Bangnahui to the present, it is really the emperor and grandson who walk all over the land, and the clan is not as good as a dog. Liu Bei is one of them. Of course, he didn't mix very well. In addition, there are many clans, and the amount of land they occupy is terrifying. Although he has no power in his hands, he is a big landlord in the local area, and he has a very nourishing life.

And now that they are fleeing and dying, then these fields are naturally cheaper than Liu Bei. While Liu Bei recovered the prefecture and county, he also cleared the land and confiscated a large amount of unclaimed land. Although he continued to reward meritorious soldiers and ministers over the years, it was inevitable that he became the largest landlord in the north.

How is this land distributed? With the restoration of social order in the north, Liu Bei found that the population on his territory was still too small. Twenty years of war have caused China to lose too much vitality. And many of the people went into the mountains with their hair clothed and became savages.

On the one hand, the number of registered households in the government has decreased significantly compared to a few decades ago, and on the other hand, a large amount of land is uncultivated. In addition to limiting slaves, what other good ways does Liu Bei think?

So, after several discussions and consultations, the slave restriction order was officially proposed in the court. The officials above the court immediately exploded. Countless people began to speak out against it.

Just kidding, slaves have existed since ancient times, and they are all bought by us with money, you say the limit is limited? Why! And many officials felt that Liu Bei was too harsh. It is even stipulated that no more than 50 slaves are allowed in the three dukes and nine kings, and no more than 20 slaves are allowed in those below the three dukes and nine kings.

You must know that at this time, it was an ordinary landlord's family, and as long as he had money, there was no limit to how many slaves he wanted to raise. Before Mi Zhu took refuge in Liu Bei, he was a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, with a family of hundreds of millions, servants and diners approaching 10,000 people. And there are not a few rich people like Mi Zhu in the world.

And the rich are like this, what about the famous families? On the surface, it may be nothing, but underneath, the power of the gate valves is not weaker than that of the merchants.

Only this time, the officials who opposed it found that Yang Biao, the head of the hundred officials who was supposed to be on their side, remained silent. After the fall of the Yuan clan in Runan, in terms of prestige and status, there was only Hongnong Yang in the whole world. The fourth and third dukes of the Yang family, the natural head of the hundred officials, if the slave restriction order is officially promulgated, the Yang family will bear the brunt. Why didn't Yang Biao say anything?

Of course, Yang Biao was silent. He was originally a person who was very good at weighing the pros and cons. In history, after the Son of Heaven fell into the control of Cao Cao, he was first imprisoned by Cao Cao, and then killed by Cao Cao, the patriarch of the Han family was so humiliated by Cao Cao, but Yang Biao still endured it silently, and after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he also accepted the position of Cao Wei Guanglu's doctor, and lived to be more than eighty years old in one breath. Such a character has been discussed by future generations. But there is one thing that has been unanimously agreed by everyone. That is Yang Biao's forbearance kung fu, which is really perfect.

Yang Biao is not stupid, Liu Bei's power has become stronger and stronger with the pacification of the north, and Liu Bei's desire to ascend the throne as the emperor is well known to passers-by, basically everyone knows it.

People have knives and handles, money bags, and official hats in their hands, and they are only the nominal head of a hundred officials, so what's the use of coming out to oppose them? Even if he takes someone to argue with Liu Bei now, he vetoes Liu Bei's proposal. But in the future, Liu Bei will ascend the throne as emperor. But whatever the Son of Heaven is determined to do, unless all the people in the world stand up against him, there is nothing that the Son of Heaven cannot do.

In that case, why should I be this wicked person? He has little time, and his son is still eating under Liu Bei. You have to think about your children and grandchildren, right?

Limit slaves, limit slaves, there are fewer people in the family, and it's just better to spend more money and hire people to come back. The Yang family has a big business, and this money is a dime. It's not to take away the Yang family's land and property. What are you anxious about?
