Chapter 1199: It's time to start dividing the land
"The land system of the Liao State is different from that of the Song State. In fact, there are very few private fields in Liao, and most of them are concentrated in Nanjing Road. In other places, it is basically dominated by official fields. This is also the case on Tokyo Road. Basically, there is no private land, and the land is all government-owned.
The official fields in eastern Liaodong are divided into three categories: ownerless wasteland, tuntian, and idle fields in the official. Ownerless wasteland can be cultivated by the people and rented by the officials. Most of the tuntian fields are military tuns, which are cultivated by the sergeants, and the harvest is returned to the country except for the sergeants. In the official idle field, you can also recruit people to cultivate and pay rent to the official.
In addition, the Khitan, Xibu, Jurchen and other tribes also occupied land in Liaodong, and these lands were also officially owned. The land occupied by the Khitan nobles in the military state under the head built in Liaodong is this kind of official land allocated to the tribe.
However, some of the sloppy and powerful families of the Liao court often privately occupied official land, cultivated and cultivated, and did not register with the government to avoid land rent...... That's how my family owns land in Xianzhou. ”
In the Liaoyang Palace, it was Ma Renwang who was very dutifully explaining the land issue of Liao to Wu Haogu.
He had been a big bureaucrat in the southern part of the Liao State, and he had been in charge of the "Planning Department" for a long time, that is, a high-ranking official in charge of civil affairs and finance, so of course he knew the land issue very well.
At this time, the Song State had already established a perfect system of private land ownership—the one that was misunderstood by later generations as the "feudal land system".
In fact, in countries other than China, no one links private ownership of land to feudalism.
Feudal, the land must be sealed! Spending money to buy that is not a feudal ......
Therefore, the land ownership system of the Song Dynasty was not actually feudal, but the "bourgeois republic" of Wuhaogu was establishing a feudal land ownership system.
The manor houses of the knights and the soldiers are in the nature of a vocational field. That is, the wages of knights and soldiers were paid with the output of the land, so the estates occupied by knights and soldiers were tax-free and rent-free. Moreover, the knights, the government soldiers, and the prescribed number of Dingkou did not have to pay exemption money and household taxes.
Of course, the number of exempt money and household taxes that can be exempted from military service is different between knight and military households. There are many dingkou that can be exempted from knight households, and there are few dingkou that can be exempted from military households.
Of course, the Liao State is also dominated by feudal land ownership. However, the management of the Liao State was relatively sloppy, and a strict military service system was not established.
The management of the official land was even more chaotic, the nobles wantonly occupied the land and enclosed the land, and the temple also occupied the land together, and the court did not care much.
Therefore, there are so many black soil in Liaodong, and the area of reclamation is far larger than that of Nanjing Road, but in terms of taxation, it is far less than that of Nanjing Road, which is barren and narrow.
Because Nanjing Dao has the background of the Central Plains bureaucratic system, it is relatively strictly managed. Therefore, Su Zhe of Liao will have a record of "the rich family is forcibly taken, the children dare not cherish the jade silk, and the Yan people are the most bitter".
On the side of Tokyo Province, in history, because Feng Yanxiu and Han Shaoxun were in charge of the Tokyo Provincial Planning Division, they wanted to collect taxes according to the standard of Yan location, which led to the Great Yanlin Rebellion, so the Liao court later adopted a concession policy.
Not only did they implement relatively light taxes in Liaodong, but they also did not seriously "enclose land", so that the Liao court did not know how much official land was occupied by powerful and wealthy families.
Wu Haogu asked with a smile: "In other words, all the land in Liaodong is owned by the officials of the Liao Dynasty, isn't that so?" ”
"It's basically official."
"That's easy!" Wu Haogu stroked his slap and said with a smile: "First of all, it's bracketing!" How much land here in Liaodong and Liaoxi has been reclaimed, or can be reclaimed, must be investigated!
Ma Lao, you will lead this matter! Then let Zhang Lin, Zuo Qigong, Han Qixian, and Yu Zhongwen all come to Liaodong to assist you, and the children of Yandi families can also come to Liaodong and Liaoxi to serve as local officials. Is this a good arrangement? ”
The centaur stroked his beard and said, "Okay, good...... With the help of these people, the old man will definitely be able to find out the land in eastern and western Liaoning.
In fact, when the old man was an official in Liao, he really didn't dare to investigate, and if he found out, he would have to give away his life. Now that Liaodong and Liaoxi are under the rule of the republican government, what is the old man afraid of? ”
"That's right! Don't be afraid of anything! Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The republican army has placed 300,000 troops in Liaodong and Liaoxi, no matter what the right surname is left, if you are not convinced, you can come to fight!" ”
"How dare they?" The centaur shook his head and smiled, "And they don't make sense, those lands are not theirs in the first place, and they have been planted for more than a hundred years, what do they want?"
In fact, it is not the right surname of Bohai that is in the species, it is all in the species of Bohai slaves. In the earliest days, the right surname of Bohai was just to manage the manor for the Khitan nobles or temples who had enclosed the land.
Because the right surname of Bohai controls a large number of Bohai slaves, whether it is the Khitan nobles or those lawless temples, after occupying the land, they must let the right surname of Bohai manage it, and they will become bigger. ”
It turns out that here in Tokyo Road, Liaoguo, land is not scarce, and what is lacking is labor. This is also the main reason why the right surname of Bohai can gradually develop and grow after the destruction of the country.
And this time, Wu Haogu not only wanted to deprive the right surname of the land (in fact, it was not theirs), but also to deprive the right surname family of control over the population.
Because at least 200,000 citizen households (including government soldiers and knights) to be settled in Liaodong also needed tenant farmers and hired farmers.
"Ruling the country," Ma Renwang touched his beard, "The old man suggested that at the same time as inspecting the land, all the children with the right surname of Bohai on the ground in western and eastern Liaoxi should be moved to Lushun Mansion for resettlement. ”
Wu Haogu stroked his beard, as if he was thinking carefully.
Ma Ren said: "Bohai's right surname has managed the land for the Khitan people for more than a hundred years, most of them have some assets, and their children have more or less read some books, and they are also half scholars. If it can be concentrated in Lushun Province, Lushun will definitely be able to prosper soon. ”
"Won't there be a mess if you gather them in Lushun?" Wu Haogu was a little relieved.
Lushun was his large stronghold in Liaodong and the center of his rule.
Ma Renwang thought for a while, and then said: "Then move them to Chenzhou and Lushun respectively." If it's divided into two places, it shouldn't be messy...... It is estimated that one or two hundred thousand people will have to migrate. One person divides five acres of land, and one million acres of land should be enough. ”
"Let's divide it into four places," Wu Hao Gu said, "give some more to Second Brother Ma, and send some more to Andong Mansion." Another 5,000 households were sent to Bohai Prefecture. In this way, the right surname of Bohai is divided into five places, and there will be no more trouble. ”
"Actually, it's seven." Ma Renwang smiled, "There are still some on the Liao side, and there are also Bohai people in the north of Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road. In addition, there will be some who go to Huanglong Mansion to take refuge in Wanyan Aguta, and maybe take some Bohai slaves with them. ”
"Then let them go!" Wu Haogu waved his hand, "When the armies are deployed, we will start searching for households in Liaodong and Liaoxi!" After the household registration is ascertained, it will be announced that the right surname will be moved.
In addition, the patriarchs of the families with the right surname should all be concentrated in Liaoyang Mansion to live. ”
Wu Haogu can be said to have carried out the "agrarian revolution" in eastern and western Liaodong this time.
On the one hand, there are Yandi Han people and Haoqiang, these leading parties help; Second, the republican government has the elite of Yandi's "land reform"; Third, there are 300,000 army towns here!
These 300,000 troops are not only a deterrent to the right surname of Bohai, but also a superintendent to the officials in charge of inspecting the land and fields.
And Wu Haogu himself, of course, has to sit in Liaoyang Mansion!
For the current republican government, there is really nothing bigger than the "land reform in western and eastern Liaoning".
Once this feudal land reform is completed, it is very likely that the number of citizen households of the republican government will exceed 300,000!
With these 300,000 armed citizens, the republic also has a solid foundation.
In addition to sitting in the town, Wu Haogu also planned to invite scholars from the positivist, rational, and even rational schools such as Murong Wangwu, Lü Haowen, Lü Benzhong, Su Yu, Su Guo, Li Gang, and Hou Zhongliang to Liaoyang Mansion to discuss the establishment of a republic.
It is much more difficult to establish a republic in which the world is common than to build an empire and a kingdom based on a gourd.
At this time, China had more than 1,300 years of imperial tradition, and there were many precedents for the establishment of empires or kingdoms (there was no essential difference between the two in China).
But the republic is a form of state that has never been seen in China's history. In addition to the "Western Zhou Republic" recorded in the annals of history, the relevant practices are the practices of local governments such as Jiehe Shang City, Jingdong Shang City, Youzhou and Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate.
To be honest, republicanism is not mature, and it is far from being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Wu Haogu is now carrying out the brand of the republic, just because he can't see the hope of the imperial system.
It's not that he can't be the emperor himself, but on the premise of not changing the general direction of the Youzhou Republic, only Wu Haogu and maybe Wu Haogu's son can sit firmly in the emperor's position. If it goes any further, there will definitely be a revolution.
Because the basis of the Youzhou regime was not the scholars who maintained the imperial power, but the armed citizens and the bourgeoisie who subverted the imperial power. These people are the equivalent of American mobs with guns and capitalists with black consciences!
Among them, the elite of armed citizens are military cadets, who are these?
The elite of the bourgeoisie is the college students with the Yuntai Academy as the core (the university has not expanded its enrollment these days). How many thorns have there been in modern universities?
If you know a little about modern history, you will know that military academies and universities are the cradles of revolutionaries in imperial countries.
How could Wu Haogu work hard to train revolutionaries while allowing his children and grandchildren to work as emperors who had lost their heads? Tiger poison doesn't eat children!
Therefore, Wu Haogu, who knows what kind of monster he has raised over the years, will never let his children and grandchildren become the targets of the revolution.
However, he must consolidate the foundation of the republic in his lifetime, lest his children and grandchildren fall into the trap of the imperial system in a daze, and send their lives to the guillotine in the future. Wu Haogu has to put a lot of thought into it.
In addition, it is now the Middle Ages after all, and the republics and aristocratic privileges are not completely opposed. The heroes of the republic, including Wu Haogu himself, still need certain privileges as a reward......
