Chapter 1403: The tyranny of the Western Song Dynasty is fiercer than that of the dragon
Guanzhong, Jingzhao Mansion, Xianyang County, Dawei Village.
This is the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, and there are wharves and markets near the Wei River, and people come and go constantly. Now is also the winter leisure season in Guanzhong, and many farmers in Dawei Village take advantage of the slack to carry work on the wharf next to the Wei River.
In fact, there is no work to carry, such as today it is divided into three and I don't know that it is divided into four, everywhere is in chaos, the larger merchants are not going out at home, only some small merchants and hawkers who can't stop their hands and feet are still busy, but where do they need to carry the work?
Everyone is now gathered on the docks, but it is just a matter of habit, and they also want to get together and complain.
These hot topics discussed by farmers in Guanzhong are actually similar to those in the Central Plains and Hebei, and they also revolve around the enclosure!
That's right, now not only the violent Zhou is enclosure, but the Great Song Dynasty court, which moved westward, also issued the "Juntian Order" in the winter of the sixth year of Xuanhe.
Of course, the content of "Juntian Order" is also hated!
According to the provisions of the "Juntian Order", the farmland of the prefectures and counties of Guanzhong and Hanzhong must first be completely cleared! Never allow the existence of an acre of hidden land!
Moreover, the work of clearing the acres of land is no longer the responsibility of the local government, but is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. Armed new officers and soldiers will be in charge of clearing.
After the completion of the clearing of the fields, the acres of land in Guanzhong and Hanzhong were all linked to military service. The 200 acres of land are divided into a manor, and it is strictly forbidden to divide and buy and sell. The landlord's family that owned the estate had to undertake the corresponding military service - to provide a government soldier to the Western Song court.
If the landlord's house is unable to send soldiers, or if it is unable to produce a valid land certificate or tax payment, the land will be immediately confiscated and distributed to the soldiers of the Republican Army. After obtaining the Grange, the soldier will also be changed from a recruit to a government soldier. It needs to serve for life, and the father and the son will replace it. If unable or unwilling to serve, the land will be repossessed and redistributed. If the soldier is killed or disabled, the Grange may remain in the possession of his heirs until he reaches the age of majority, and if the heirs are unwilling to serve in the adult service, the Grange will be repossessed.
In addition, the officers, cavalry and non-commissioned officers of the New Army of the Western Song Dynasty can also get different numbers of granges according to the size of their official positions.
Cavalry and non-commissioned officers can get 3 Granges, officers with the rank of Platoon Commander get 5 Granges, officers with the rank of Platoon (Company) Commander get 7 Granges, officers with the rank of Battalion Commander get 9 Granges, officers with the rank of Brigade Commander get 11 Granges, officers with the rank of Division Commander get 13 Granges, and officers with the rank of Pacifier get 15 Granges.
The criterion for receiving the Grange is not their rank, but their rank, which is similar to the rank of the Zhou army, which will eventually replace the military attache rank and become a sign of the rank of the new army officers.
In addition to the three ranks of government soldiers, cavalry, and non-commissioned officers, there is also a "deputy rank" under all the "main ranks", and the Grange that can be received is one less than the corresponding "main rank".
In addition, having such and such a rank does not necessarily mean that he will hold an official position that is consistent with the name of the rank.
Each grange has 200 acres of arable land and 5 acres of residential land. Excluding the residential land, in the future, the division commander-level officers of the Western Song New Army will be able to get 2,600 acres of land as their own professional land, and the highest-ranking pacification envoy-level officers will be able to get 3,000 acres of granges.
These granges granted to the military were in the nature of professional fields, so they were exempt from all taxes. Military families can also be exempted from taxes and forced labor according to their rank.
Considering the yield and rent collection of land in Guanzhong, the income of these granges is actually not very rich...... It's just that the officers and soldiers of the Western Song Dynasty can live a more prosperous life.
After the death of the officer, most of the granges owned by the officer will be recovered, and his heirs will only inherit the grange according to the standard of non-commissioned officers (cavalry) at most, and they will also need to pay the corresponding military service.
In short, in the future, the land in Guanzhong and Hanzhong (about 50 million mu will be carefully inventoried) must be linked to military service.
After the land was obtained, all the new officers and soldiers would no longer be able to receive military salaries, and they would also have to bear the cost of purchasing some equipment and horses.
However, their military exploits can also be exchanged for rewards or promotions. If you get a reward, you can get a bounty, and if you get promoted, you can get a grange.
By the way, the so-called bounty is not gold, silver or copper coins, but Shu brocade!
The Western Song court did not grab the gold and silver in the Great Song Bank, and the amount of copper coins they brought to Guanzhong was not large. Sichuan, which was under the control of the Western Song Dynasty, has always been a place of "lack of money", and it used iron money for more than 100 years before the Ji Yi Restoration.
Therefore, the officials and military personnel of the retro party simply came to "replace money with brocade", which was actually to curb commercial activity by reducing the role of money......
The future Western Song Dynasty "doesn't need money" and doesn't need developed industry and commerce - of course, it won't have to!
Since you can't do it, then don't do it at all, follow the Qin system, and implement farming warfare.
And the Qin system, of course, is a harsh government!
Compared with the "harsh government of merchants" implemented by the Great Zhou Republic, I don't know how vicious it is.
In essence, Zhou's harsh government was the cunning politics of the bourgeoisie. It is still necessary to protect private legal property, and it is still necessary to talk about bourgeois legal power.
Therefore, the ruling government has to carefully design a trap, and it cannot prevent the common people from going to Tianjin to petition - the petition is of course useless, the Senate does not need the votes of the common people, and the Senate represents the interests of the citizens.
But petitioning and protesting is the right of civilians, so Wu Yijiu can only endure it......
But the Western Song Dynasty is completely deprived of Chiguoguo!
Regardless of whether there is a legal land deed and tax payment certificate, the private land will become a vocational manor! If the land deed and tax payment are obtained, the original landowner can retain the right to use the land by serving in the army, and the ownership is actually confiscated.
As soon as such a harsh policy came out, naturally many simple men in Guanzhong rose up to fight, and the result goes without saying......
At this time, the peasants from the village of Dawei mentioned a failed protest that happened around them.
"I really didn't expect Wang Xiucai to be a scholar, and he also has martial arts, and he slashed three officers and soldiers with one sword!"
"What can it be? Didn't you get wounded by a hidden arrow? Now he is locked up in Xianyang Prison, convicted of rebellion, and will be beheaded in a few days. ”
"Alas, what a good person Wang Xiucai is, why do you have to be beheaded? How can the officials not know the good and the bad? ”
"Good or bad? Hmph, if you want to know whether it's good or bad, can you still call the East Thief to Guanzhong? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, let people report to the official, maybe they will also be a thief!"
The peasants looked around, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant standing in front of them, followed by several rather sturdy guards, who looked as if they had just come off the ship.
Nowadays, there are few big businessmen on the Wei River! Are these really businessmen? It can't be a spy from the Privy Council, right?
The middle-aged man at the head looked at the frightened farmers, but smiled gently, and arched his hand and said: "I came from Yongzhou, with some goods, I want to go to Xianyang to sell, can you help pick it?" The price is easy to say. ”
"Well said, well said."
Listening to his Xiangyin, the peasants were a little relieved, and they were not willing to give up this opportunity to get a little money.
The "goods" brought by this merchant are actually books! There are dozens of boxes in a box, and I don't know who to sell them to in this chaos?
However, seeing these books, the peasants were more relieved, and the spies in the Privy Council's secret office would not go out with dozens of boxes to handle cases.
"Uncle, who is Wang Xiucai you just mentioned? Why did he rebel? The merchants and farmers walked all the way, and they also talked with one of the elderly farmers in a friendly manner, and as they talked, they suddenly turned the topic to Liu Xiucai, who was about to cut off his brain.
"It's not for the sake of the "Juntian Order", ...... old farmer is also a muddy person, he didn't pay attention to the eyes of the farmers on the left and right, but just said casually, "His family is the landlord of Dawei Village, with three or four hundred and four acres of land, but the people are thin, and the men in the family are Wang Xiucai and his son Wang Zhongfu...... One is in his forties, the other is only thirteen years old, and they can't be government soldiers!
And their father and son are both scholars, Wang Xiucai has also taken the exam a few times, although he has not passed, but he is a scholar after all! He is also well-known in Xianyang City and knows many gentry friends. If it was a few years ago, how could he have been bullied by a group of soldiers? Alas, what a downturn! ”
The merchant sighed: "I originally thought that only Zhou Guoswen swept the floor, but I didn't expect it to be the same here in Guanzhong...... I really didn't expect it! ”
This merchant is not an outsider, it is Chen Yu who abandoned his official position. He originally wanted to go to Xiangyang Mansion first, but when he thought that Zhao Huan was orthodox, he pretended to be a bookseller and entered the customs, wanting to find an acquaintance to introduce him.
However, after entering the customs, Chen Yu found that the Western Song Dynasty, like the New Zhou, was wantonly depriving the landlord class of land! And the means are even more ferocious - the new Zhou is willing to protest casually, as long as there is no armed uprising, the Zhou army will not be bloodily suppressed.
In addition, Zhou Guo recognized the legitimate rights and interests of private land! The landlord does not have a land deed and does not pay taxes, how can he prove that the land is his? It is also deserved to be confiscated...... Moreover, a considerable part of the land confiscated by the Zhou State is really "ownerless", and the owner is either a noble bureaucrat who ran away, or simply an official field of the Song Dynasty, or the imperial village of the Zhao royal family, the temple of the temple, the academy of the academy, and so on.
And Guanzhong has not experienced the war, and there are not so many official fields, Terada, Xuetian, Huangzhuang, and even the land of big bureaucrats and nobles, almost all of them are private land, and they are all confiscated indiscriminately, which is simply a robber!
The Eastern Thief is a thief, and the Western Song Dynasty looks like a thief! And it's even better than the East Thief...... It's not tyranny, it's tyranny!
Chen Yu sighed: "It seems that there is no business to do in Guanzhong...... By the way, the child named Wang Zhongfu was not arrested by the government, right? ”
"Not ...... yet"
Chen Yu said: "Since there is fate, I will rescue him and let him follow me to Jinghu." Maybe Jinghu will be better, Jinghu is the world after all. ”
