The root cause of the problem of displaced people is the problem of land annexation. Land annexation, on the other hand, was the root cause of the feudal dynasty, or the agrarian society.

If this problem is to be solved, it is not a single solution that can be solved.

Because this question involves the root nature of the current social system.

"Roots?" Jia Tan looked at Wei Renshi with some surprise and asked, "I wonder if Wei County can explain a thing or two in detail?" ”

Several other people also looked at each other, Du Youyin was the most familiar with Wei Renshi, so he said: "This problem of displaced people is a big problem in all dynasties. Since Wei Xiannan mentioned the root cause, it can be seen that he has thought about this matter. Wei County's man has always been able to find his own way, but I don't know what Wei County's man thinks? ”

"This ......" Wei Renshi showed a slight embarrassment on his face, and turned his head to look at Li Shi.

Li Shi said with a smile: "The disadvantages of the homeless people have been around for a long time, and I also want to hear what Wei Qing's unique views are. But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"This ...... Be! Obey the order. Wei Renshi nodded and said, "That is the case, then the minister has the courage to say a word." It's just that the minister is young in the end, and it is inevitable that he will not think enough. If what you said is wrong, please also ask Haihan. ”

After that, Wei Renshi said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, no matter how big a country's territory is, it is limited after all. However, the population will increase with the development of society. With a population comes the need to farm, to live, and to cultivate or to live in, to land is needed. As a result, as the population increases, each person will be able to occupy less and less land. Under the current system, land is the basis for everyone's survival, and people rely too much on land. When the people have land in their hands, they can cultivate and get food, and they can build houses and get dwellings. The so-called peaceful residence must first have a place to live, and then there can be a place to live, and then you can be happy. But as the population grows larger and the land becomes scarcer, there will inevitably be people who will not be able to get their share of the land. The more people lose their land, the more prone the country is to unrest. Because without land, people can't live. Their food needs to be taken out of the land, their dwelling needs to be taken out of the land, and their taxes need to be paid out of the land...... But without the land, all this is gone. When all the people of the country begin to have this kind of injustice, it only takes a spark to become a prairie fire immediately! ”

When Li Shi heard this, he frowned and said: "But the population is born and destroyed, and my Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away, can't this land support the people?" ”

Wei Renshi shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have noticed, the possession of land is unfair." This is the root cause of the lack of land for the people. An official can have hundreds of hectares of land, a wealthy businessman can also have hundreds of hectares of land, and some peasant households do not even have an inch of land. Fang Cai Weichen has already said that in today's self-sufficient economic system, land is everything. Therefore, those who have the ability will naturally expand the land they occupy. Land is becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of big landlords and big bureaucrats, while the peasants are increasingly losing their land, or even having no land at all. In order to own more land, those people will use all kinds of means, especially in disaster years, when the landlords take advantage of the land to make the peasants who own the land sell their land and property and become tenant farmers. This is land annexation. ”

"The severity of land annexation has led to the concentration of a large amount of land in the hands of a few, while a large number of people have lost their land. And everything the people have depends on the land. In this way, it will inevitably lead to the outbreak of the peasant war, and the world will once again fall into strife. A change of dynasty, nothing more than this! ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

Zheng Xunyu said: "In this way, there are two root causes: one is the annexation of land, and the other is that the people are too dependent on the land, so that they have no way to live without the land. ”

Wei Renshi nodded: "Yes, that's right!" ”

"The old man disagrees." Jia Tan shook his head and said: "The land is the foundation of the people, and the people should rely on the fields to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Wei Renshi said: "What Wei Gong said is naturally not bad, but what the lower officials said is that the people are too dependent on the land, so that once they lose their land due to accidents, they will have no way to live at all." If the people had other ways to rely on to survive, even if they lost their land accidentally, they would not be left without a chance to survive. As far as the farmers who have taken over the official fiefdoms are concerned, even if they do not have the fields now, they will not become homeless people, because they still have a way to make a living. ”

Wei Renshi looked at Li Shi and saw that he was just listening with squinted eyes, and seemed happy to see everyone discussing with Wei Renshi.

Just as Wei Renshi quietly watched Li Shi's reaction, he heard Gao Ying suddenly ask: "Then as Wei Xiannan said, there are two root causes of this problem, so how to solve these two root causes?" ”

Wei Renshi subconsciously opened his mouth and replied: "First, as long as the people still take land as the foundation, the phenomenon of land annexation is inevitable and will always exist, and it is an unsolvable problem. The only way to do this was to expand the territory so that the Tang Dynasty could have more land in order to delay the deterioration of the land annexation phenomenon. Second, the fundamental way to put an end to land annexation is to try to change this model of subsistence small-scale peasant economy, which is heavily dependent on land. ”

Wei Renshi originally came with his mouth open, but after he finished speaking, he regretted it a little.

It's easy to say in two sentences, but it's so hard to achieve.

When everyone heard Wei Renshi's words, they were all surprised.

After a while, Du You shook his head and said with a smile: "Wei Xiannan's words...... It's the analysis of the sentences. It's easier said than done. ”

Seeing the expressions of him and the others, it was obvious that Wei Renshi's words were regarded as the passionate madness of a young man's heart.

Wei Renshi did not argue either. It is extremely difficult to achieve these two things, not only because the ruler is unable to decide, but also because it is difficult to make a decision. Even more difficult lies in the vested interests, these feudal landlord classes, on which land is the basis on which they become the ruling class, and they will never let anyone shake this foundation. For this reason, they will not hesitate to change the dynasty and maintain a system of governance that can represent the interests of this class.

To change this problem is to revolutionize. And now, Datang is still too early to that revolution. The position of the bourgeoisie has not been formed, let alone the power of the bourgeoisie. If it weren't for the fact that everyone asked this step today, Wei Renshi would not have thrown this question out so early.

But fortunately, with Wei Renshi's interference, this step may be doomed.

It would be a good thing to speak out earlier so that those in power would notice this earlier.
