Li Zheng was very enthusiastic, and Ergouzi's hospitality was also very decent, and he did not embarrass the Mei family.

Mei Xiaohan excused herself to go to the toilet, patted it, and shook the "treasure gourd" again.

"I don't want to offend people!" Mei Xiao is cold and straightforward.

"Who made you offend?" Hulu Road.

"You're finally fucking talking, where did you die after so long?" Mei Xiaohan scolded.

"Eat, drink, what can I do!"

"What should I do?" Mei Xiaohan asked.

"Whether it's the fields, or the cattle and sheep, they belong to your Mei family, why do you ask me what to do?" Hulu Road.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!" Mei smiled coldly.

"You're pretty social! It didn't take long for it to become so sophisticated? ”

"Seriously!" Mei smiled coldly.

Hulu said: "You are a modern person, you can't let urine suffocate to death, right?" ”

"That's it!"

"Modern mechanical production!"

Mei Xiaohan propped up the table, stood firm, and said, "If you didn't say it earlier, I almost forgot that I am a human being in the 21st century!" ”

"You can't admit it, some things just need to be done boldly!"

With her nose buttoned, Mei Xiaohan smirked and imagined herself sitting on a walk-behind tractor, plowing a large piece of land.

In order to stabilize the mood of the villagers, and even more so as not to embarrass Li Zheng, Mei Xiaohan agreed to everything the villagers said so-so. Li Zheng not only has face, but also stabilizes the interest of the villagers, but he is very satisfied.

There is a lot of uncultivated land in the village, which is abandoned because there is no government to write it, so it cannot be cultivated, let alone used wisely.

In fact, it is not that these wastelands cannot be used, but according to the conditions of the time, if they are to be reclaimed, the cost is far from being compensated by the harvested food.

Mei Xiaohan's mind immediately made up the information about the land system of the Song Dynasty recorded in the book:

In 960 AD, the Later Zhou generals launched the Chenqiao Mutiny.

He established Zhao Kuangyin as emperor and established the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, which was founded by the old people, the land system was mainly private ownership of land, and the state ownership of land accounted for only a small part.

Song Dynasty private land included:

the emerging private ownership of large land by Shu landlords and small land ownership by yeoman farmers;

State-owned land includes camp land, tun field, official village, vocational field, school field, official horse pasture land and so on. Compared with other dynasties, the land system of the Song Dynasty had the following characteristics:

First, the private ownership of land has developed greatly

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 development of private ownership of land is manifested in the following ways: First, land sales are prevalent.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Sichuan set up a restriction order to pawn the tax of those who sold the land and house to pay the tax and seal the deed, and the deed tax was levied at one time to 4 million guan, while the land price in Sichuan was only 4 guan per mu, and the price of the government selling land was 8 to 10 guan.

If the tax rate is calculated at 10%, and the land price is higher, then the land in Sichuan has 4 million mu, which shows the prevalence of land sales.

The second is the great development of land annexation. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of landlords encroaching on land was quite serious, and by the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it had reached the point where "powerful officials with rich surnames, unlimited land occupation, merger and counterfeiting, and habits have become customary". Third, the number of private fields greatly exceeds that of official fields. For example, in the seventh year of Shenzong Xining (1074 AD), the whole country cultivated more than 4.45 million hectares of land, and at that time there were more than 447,000 hectares of various official fields, accounting for only one-tenth.

2. The privatization of official land

As the form of regulation and control of social and economic relations became mainly based on economic means, and because the realization of national interests, i.e., taxation, was based on property, the official land in the Song Dynasty also gradually developed in the direction of private land.

This development is manifested in two main ways.

First, the state has turned official land into private land through various means, or through various types of land sales into private land, or through rewarding bureaucratic real estate.

First, the state adopts the same rent exploitation method as the landlord to manage the official land, for example, Song Gaozong once said: "The imperial court expands the land, for example, if the private family buys the land, if it does not get anything, it will cost money in vain, what benefit will it get?" Another example is the words of Chen Ding, the minister of Taizong: "Those who have not cultivated the fields have recruited the people to reclaim them, and the number of them is like the example of the host and guest of the people." "The concept, the method of exploitation, and the amount of money here are no different from those of the private landlords.

3. Frequent transfer of land ownership

Due to the prevalence of land sales, "households traded land, bid deeds, and disputes, and there were no more than one day", which brought about frequent transfers of land ownership and frequent changes in the economic status of specific members of the landlord class, which became a prominent phenomenon in Song Dynasty society. "A thousand years of land for 800 masters", "the rich and the poor have no fixed situation, the land and the house has no fixed owner", "people's land and property, only five or six years, the difference is different, the rich are poor, the poor are rich", and so on, these remarks highlight this characteristic of the land relationship in the Song Dynasty.

In view of the frequent transfer of land ownership, the Song Dynasty implemented standardized management procedures for land sales, that is, both parties to the purchase and sale of land had to go through registration and filing procedures with government agencies as proof of the transfer of land property rights. This kind of standardized management of land sales and sales is the state's recognition and protection of the legality of land sales.

Fourth, the increasing concentration of land ownership and the increasing decentralization of land management

The land annexation under the free sale of land has made the land ownership show a strong trend of concentration, but due to the frequent transfer of land ownership, the land obtained by the annexation has become smaller and more scattered, such as the time of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, the official Zhang Hong had 156 acres of land in Pingjiang Mansion, which was scattered into 38 sections, with a total of 25 tenants; In the three years of Chunyou, Wuxi County, Changzhou purchased nearly 100 sections of "Yangshitian", with more than 50 customers, but each section of land is more than seven or eight acres, and the less is only one corner and two corners dozens of steps.

…

With the treasure gourd, it is also convenient to inquire about the information, like the price of similar wasteland is not higher than 6 per mu, and the maximum of 1,000 mu is not more than 6,000. The tax rate is calculated at 10 percent, so it does not exceed 6,600 copper coins.

How much money was in ancient times? Normally, consistent money refers to 1,000 copper coins, but the problem is that in the Song Dynasty, it was popular to save Mo, "taking seventy-seven coins as a hundred", ("History of the Song Dynasty", vol. 180 Food and Goods Chronicles). That is, the consistent money is seven hundred and seventy dollars.

As for the conversion of copper coins to silver taels, it varies with different dynasties:

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the exchange ratio of silver coins was one or two silver to consistent money.

In fact, the exchange rate of silver and copper coins, except for the Song Dynasty, which was more chaotic, was basically 1:1000 in all dynasties, that is to say, one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1000 copper coins. In other words, 1 penny is equivalent to about 2 yuan.

6,600 copper coins are equivalent to about 6.6 million Wen, which is equivalent to the current RMB, which is equivalent to about 13.2 million.

13.2 million, not to know, to be shocked, no matter what, this is also an astronomical amount!
