"I heard that the gentleman and Master Feiyi discussed until the night, I must have been very tired during this time." Mrs. Tai looked at Zhao Yong lovingly. The sky was already sprinkled with starlight, and the candles were blazing, but she also seemed a little charming. She was very concerned about Zhao Yong, especially in the days when Zhao Yong left, she was asked to take care of all the affairs in the royal city.

"Things are complicated, and the scholars are also running around and working hard. Only then did I know why he aged so quickly when his father was there. The child also feels a little tired recently, often can't sleep at night, every night, the sound of the monarch's father is like that, still worried about the prosperity of the Zhao country, the incense of the temple is endless, is to wake up in the middle of the night, sit and watch the dawn. After the Three Orders of the Restoration, Zhao Yong really couldn't sleep at night, always worried that there would be some chaos in his indiscriminate reform. This is not like he used to be, just a person in charge of the company, and some decisions will only affect the company, but now, it is very likely that some of his decisions will affect the course of history, such a burden is too heavy.

Looking at Zhao Yong's depressed face, Mrs. Tai thought about it and said with a little worry: "Move according to your ability, it's too fresh." Anything can not be forced, but it is enough to be worthy of the ancestors and gods, and do not be greedy for the merits of the sky, so as to leave future troubles. ”

Zhao Yong frowned, and said with a light smile: "What Grandma said is that the child has written it down." ”

Mrs. Tai looked at Zhao Yong's expression, slightly embarrassed, and then said: "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, but this marriage cannot be delayed any longer." After all, this pillow still needs a person to talk to, and he can also take the time to take care of the daily life of the king. The Japanese and Korean envoys came before yesterday, and they were scheduled to meet the district rat alliance, and they saw that they were close to the left, and they still needed to make plans first. ”

Zhao Yong didn't know what was going on? He also knew that Zhao needed a stable environment at this time, and marrying South Korea could indeed ensure that he was not alone. What's more, this marriage is not something that he can refuse, but Zhao Suhou has already finalized it, even if he wants to withdraw from the marriage.

But to be honest, Zhao Yong is full of resistance to this kind of thing, although he was used to seeing Fengyue in his previous life, and he didn't miss acting on the spot, but letting him marry a stranger made him feel a little uncomfortable. What's more, he didn't even know what the other party's name was. This is a typical arranged marriage.

"Recently, the war has just stopped, and the domestic government affairs are complicated, and the matter of Zhongshan becoming the king has not yet ended, and the Qi State is also preparing to attack Zhao. At this time, the child really didn't have the heart to discuss these things. ”

"No, whatever you say this time, you have to go! And in person! "The tiger is not powerful, you are my HelloKitty." There is absolutely no reason to delay this matter any longer, otherwise, King Han would still think that we have despised the other party. ”

Zhao Yong had no choice but to nod yes.

"In this way, you should arrange the itinerary and the things you want to prepare, you must always bring it, don't let people laugh at me Zhao Guo doesn't know etiquette." Seeing that Zhao Yong gave up resistance and surrendered, Mrs. Tai also softened her tone and said seriously.

"Yes, this matter is still going to trouble my uncle. It's just that he's been too busy lately, and I'm afraid he's going to be distracted again. "I don't know if this old man can still hold up so many things.

Mrs. Tai hesitated for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and couldn't help but say: "It is rumored in the royal city that the monarch is reforming, and it seems that there are some adjustments to the system of the previous dynasty, but is there such a thing?" ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a respectful expression: "But it's nothing, it's just that it's still the usual Qingtian mu, compiling the people's book, and at the same time assigning work to the four masters, after all, like Master Feiyi and his uncle, they have been working hard for the country, but they are not in the center, and sometimes they have something to inquire about, and they don't know what happened." In this way, they were asked to help Xiangbang share some of the work. Unexpectedly, these things were spread to Ah Yu. Zhao Yong said lightly, but in his heart, he was already a little angry. It's not that I'm angry with this lady, but with the person who told her about these things.

Of course, Mrs. Tai knew what Zhao Yong was thinking, because she had already noticed that Zhao Yong's expression was a little serious, and the usual expression of concern was different, and she clearly felt a little dissatisfaction in Zhao Yong's tone. But after thinking about it, she still cautiously asked, "Is that really the case?" Why did the old woman hear that this cleaning was different from before? ”

As soon as Mrs. Tai said this, Zhao Yong's doubts in his heart became even greater. Although these edicts have been promulgated, people like Mrs. Tai, who do not care about political affairs, generally do not reach her ears. But this time, she said it so solemnly, it seems that someone must have said something in front of her. But this kind of thing, which can only be asked privately, is that he said softly: "Yes." ”

"How is it different?"

Zhao Yong pondered for a while and said slowly: "The inventory of the past focuses on the number of records. That is, if there is anything recorded in the field book, then clean up if there is. Regardless of the quality of the fields, regardless of the number of fields, generalizations are based on the number recorded last year. This year, according to the nature of the land, such as plains, ridges, dirt hills, and swamps, etc., it will be divided into three equal parts, not according to the number recorded, but according to the number of cultivation, that is, all the land cultivated in Zhao will inevitably be included in the register. ”

"In this way, I'm afraid that all the hidden fields will be reported, right?" Mrs. Tai sighed slightly and said.

Zhao Yong nodded, didn't dare to look at her, and said indifferently: "Yes!" ”

"The first monarch entrusted the great affairs of the state to the king, and he must have believed that the king could govern well. Since the monarch has been in power, he has been conscientious, although Zhao has encountered some difficulties, he can also turn evil into good fortune, and the good governance of this monarch is also. But—" she pondered for a while, and continued, "the first monarch was also aware of the hidden nature of this field when he was there, but at that time, the foreign conquest was hard and the wars were frequent, so the first monarch did not dare to investigate too much. Moreover, whether it is public or private land, as long as the cultivators pay taxes normally, they should conceal a little. It shouldn't hurt either. What's more, some of these people are still members of the public family, and some are even already uncles, a large family, relying on a little thin land, the tax service collected is not enough to use, and he is not allowed to cultivate it privately, I am afraid that survival is a problem. In this way, the public secretary clan will be in chaos, and this must be prevented. ”

Before the crossing, Zhao Yong knew almost nothing about the land system of the Zhou Dynasty. However, since it is not an industrialized society, and agriculture is the lifeblood of the country, he focused on the current land system.

To put it simply, the land system of the Zhao State was influenced by two conditions, one was the Jingtian system of the Zhou Dynasty, and the second was the Zhantian system.

The so-called well field system is to divide the cultivated land into a number of square fields of a certain area, surrounded by a meridian boundary, with a ditch in the middle, and a long and horizontal landscape, like a tic-tac-toe. One person cultivates about 100 acres, and each 100 acres is a square, which is called "one field". A well is divided into nine squares, and the surrounding eight fields are cultivated by eight households, which are called private fields, and all the harvest of private fields belongs to the cultivators; In the middle is the public land, which is cultivated by eight households, and all the income goes to the nobles of the feudal province.

Zhou Tianzi is the co-lord of the world and the master of the land in the world, he divided the land through the patriarchal system, formed all kinds of princes, and ordered all kinds of princes to divide the land in accordance with the patriarchal system, forming the Shiqing class. According to the "countrymen" and "savages" in their fiefdoms, that is, the division of commoners and slaves, the Shiqing class divided the land into public and private fields for cultivation. and pay taxes according to a certain percentage. All the income from private land belonged to commoners or slaves, and all the income from public land belonged to the nobles. If you want to farm, you must plant both public and private fields, that is, you must serve the Shiqing class.

In the same way, the princes were the larger class of scholars, and then paid taxes to Zhou Tianzi. However, the tax system before the three generations was different, and it was divided into three types: tribute and assistance, and if you want to talk about it casually, you can talk about it for three days and three nights.

Therefore, in today's words, Zhou Tianzi had the ownership of the land, and the land of the whole country was his, and then he gave the right to operate to the princes, and the princes gave it to the Shiqing, and the last actual workers were slaves and commoners. But all the land ownership belongs to Zhou Tianzi.

However, with the spread of cattle ploughing and the use of iron tools, ridges, dirt hills, and swamps, which were previously uncultivated, became easier to cultivate. And after Shiqing and the princes reclaimed these lands, they became hidden fields. These lands are not subject to tax because they are not included in the land register.

This practice is actually based on the fact that Zhou Tianzi's influence has not been as good as before, and the princes took advantage of the situation and changed from only having the right to manage the land to having ownership and management rights over the land. Throw Zhou Tianzi, the big boss, aside.

However, if you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, after the two bosses and princes counterattacked the throne, too much hidden land has become a problem that affects their taxes, what should I do? As a result, many princes recognized the private ownership of these lands, and opened up a part of the public land to be granted to meritorious people, but you had to pay taxes according to the number of acres, and the more land you occupy, the more taxes you paid. This is the Jin State's land system and the Lu State's initial tax mu.

The ancestors of Zhao State, in order to encourage farming, adopted the practice of expanding the mu system without increasing the endowment, that is, the mu system implemented by Zhao State was the largest among the seven countries, but the tax rate did not increase, which stimulated the development of agriculture in disguise and cleaned up the people's hearts at the same time.

Now, Zhao Yong hopes to find out the land situation of Zhao through the two methods of land inventory and naturalization, and on the basis of the land system, carry out a wider state land grant system, extend the land of rewards except for military merits to all "national people", that is, civilians, strengthen the state's control and occupation of land, let civilians get land, and the state increases taxes.

The Shang Dynasty borrowed from the Three Jin Dynasty's land system, so as to further expand the occupation of land by the common people and increase the national tax. Therefore, Shang Ying's reform was a complete change in the Warring States Period, because he completed a reform of the land system, he provided the most valuable social wealth of this era - land, and used the military merit system to distribute the wealth, and finally fixed and recognized the wealth and distribution methods through strict laws, so that the whole country embarked on the road of prosperity and strength.

Therefore, although it is indeed difficult to count the acres of land and compile the naturalization of the people, it is the beginning of all the restoration, and it is also the process of finding wealth for the country and the people. Auntie, this Zhao country must take the road that must be taken. After analyzing Mrs. Xiang, Zhao Yong bowed deeply, and her hands trembled a little. It seems to have returned to the days and nights when the crane crested one by one. And now, he didn't want his hard work and the plan of the crane crown to come to naught before it had even started.

In particular, this kind of resistance also comes from one's own relatives.
