Chapter 680

The forbidden soldiers of the guard Ma Junsi abolished by Song Shenzong still have four numbers: Qingsai, Feijie, Xiaojun, and Qijie. There are more than 30 numbers in the Fengjie, Xiaoshun, Huaiyong, Weining, Feihu, Guisheng, Huaiai, Jingrong crossbowmen, Pingsai crossbowmen, Xinli crossbowmen, Laihua, Gui'en, Hue, Jianwei and other armies.

The number of banned soldiers under these numbers is small, so they are among the ones that have been revoked. If the number of forbidden commanders is large in some numbers, the method of weakening the number of commanders is adopted.

For example, the Japanese army in the four armies was reduced from 35 to less than 20 commands, the Tianwu Army was reduced from 34 to less than 21 commands, the Long Guard Army was reduced from 44 to less than 18 commands, and the Shenwei Army was reduced from 31 to less than 27 commands.

After the revocation of the number, the reduction of the command and the elimination of redundant troops, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, the number of forbidden troops was 568,688 at the least.

Then after the death of Emperor Shenzong, since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, the number of forbidden troops and box troops began to increase year by year. Today, the number of forbidden soldiers has increased to more than 661,000.

At that time, there were more than 257,000 soldiers in various places. Coupled with the soldiers of Kaifeng Fujie and Taichang Temple and other temple supervisors, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Great Song Dynasty reached about 900,000.

"Since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne and the Empress Dowager listened to the government, the old party members have mainly abolished all the policies of the past, which has caused the number of those soldiers to increase again, and the number of empty salaries is increasing day by day."

"Instead of letting those soldiers rely on the court's supply to survive the day, it is better to send them all to these three states, even if there is only one army, plus the population of their families, it will be enough for 10,000 people."

Moreover, before they came here, they could first build houses for them with prisoners of war, and then the court would provide them with tools and animal power, anyway, after these wars, they had obtained 150,000 or 60,000 horses, and nearly 80,000 cattle, even if they were not cooked cattle that had been cultivated.

But it is better than using manpower a hundred times, and the important thing is that the soldiers have more or less experienced military training, and if a big war is about to start, they can also choose their young and strong people to defend the territory, which is definitely the best of both worlds.

"It is worthy of being the most famous golden idea of the Great Song Dynasty, Wan Mou has to obey it, and in this way, after the land is produced, those soldiers can leave their nationality as people, the court has reduced the burden, and the three states here also have a population.

Even for five years, they don't have to pay taxes. But after all, they had to exchange food for money and buy necessities, and then there would be merchants and craftsmen gathered here. ”

"There are the brave soldiers who graze cattle here, and the army that ploughs here, cattle, sheep and horses."

"If it is operated like this, and Western Xia did not rashly invade the south, Wan Mou dares to say that in less than five years, this place will become a rich land in the north." Wan Bin is full of pride and authenticity.

"Although this is a good way, Wang is a little worried about the court." Wang Yang nodded, sighed after a sigh.

"The soldiers are for the people, and the matters involved are very wide-ranging, and I don't know how many people's interests will be touched. And those ministers in the DPRK and China, hehehe, I don't think I need to say it from my younger brother, you should also know it. ”

Wan Bin blinked, thinking of the relationship between Wang Yang and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, well, he almost laughed out loud, which can only show that this guy is too capable of fighting.

"Actually, Wang has another way, if the previous method doesn't work, then, Wang can go to the court: sell land."

"Selling land? You mean, you want to sell the land in those three states? Wan Bin's eyes couldn't help but shine. How are you going to sell it and to whom? ”

"No matter who wants to buy it, you can, at least 1,000 acres, and the upper limit is 10,000 acres." Wang Yang smashed his mouth and said after thinking about it.

"The upper limit of 10,000 acres?!" Wan Bin's voice was so surprised that it pulled out a trill. "Then, is that also the same as handing over to the soldiers to farm, and the tax will be paid after five years?"

"Yes, it's also a five-year period." Wang Yang nodded, but he quickly stretched out another finger.

"If the second strategy is really feasible, then Wan will definitely buy his 10,000 acres of land. By the way, will the salt ponds in Yanzhou be sold to the outside world? Wan Bin, the old driver, had a golden light in his eyes.

"I'm afraid Yanchi won't work, but brother, you have to think about it, if you really buy 10,000 acres of land by then, I'm afraid that the amount of money spent will definitely not be a few, and such a large scale, but you need a lot of manpower, right?" Wang Yang looked at Wan Bin with a smile.

"What's so difficult about this, if there is a shortage of manpower, then hire tenants, it's a big deal, the rent is lower, and naturally there will be people willing to come." Wan Bin is very confident.

"The important thing is that if the first policy doesn't work, the second strategy is actually extremely clever, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't help but trade in real estate, and my Great Song Dynasty has a huge net worth of thousands of people who don't know the ordinary. However, there are so many fields, and it is not easy to buy them. ”

"About one-fifth of the land in these three states is mountainous river valleys and saline land, and nearly one-third is pasture suitable for grazing. Originally, there were about six or seven million mu suitable for farming, but over the past 100 years, the population has withered, and now it is less than four million mu.

If they are all cultivated, the grain they get every year is not a single eye. I believe that the court will not let the land of these three states be barren, and will definitely choose the best one from the two strategies of the virtuous brother. ”

While speaking, Wan Bin was still calculating something in his heart, and Wang Yang could guess it with just his toes. Whether it is the first strategy or the second policy, Wan Bin will try his best to buy more land from the box soldiers or other buyers.

After all, the wealth of Wanjia in Jiangnan is definitely second to none, and in this era, although business is also a means of increasing wealth, there are still a large number of rich people who prefer tuntiandi.

It is important to note that unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty prohibited land acquisitions, and the Song Dynasty's private land included the emerging Shu landlords' large land private ownership and the private ownership of homesteaders' land; State-owned land includes camp land, tun field, official village, vocational field, school field, official horse pasture land and so on.

The Song Dynasty implemented the land policy of "no land system" and "no suppression of annexation". The state will no longer implement measures to strengthen the state land ownership system, no longer use the power of political power to redistribute land, and no longer adjust land tenure relations; The state no longer interferes in the development of private ownership of land, and has a laissez-faire attitude towards the free sale and annexation of land.

The specific manifestations of the development of private ownership of land are: First, land sales were prevalent ↓ For example, during the Song Gaozong period, Chengdu Fulu restricted the pawn to pay taxes on those who sold their fields and houses, and the deed tax was collected at one time to 4 million yuan.

At this time, the land price per mu in Sichuan was only four guan, and the government sold land at a price of eight to ten guan. The tax rate is calculated at 10%, and those who recognize the high land price are 10 per mu, so the land in Sichuan is 4 million mu, which shows the prevalence of land sales.
