At present, there are more than 20,000 Baekje households in the two states, with a population of 143,300 and more than 43,000 hectares of land, which is almost 30 mu per capita. This per capita amount of cultivated land, even exceeding the per capita cultivated land of Datang, is quite powerful.

More than 4 million acres of land, very amazing, and all of them are cooked land.

In the past, most of these lands were concentrated in the hands of a small number of Baekje nobles and magnates, and some were in the hands of the government. And now, the Tang Dynasty occupies these two states and sets up ten counties. Through the confiscation of the land of the fugitive nobles and the public land of the government that was received, plus the land recovered by the deed money of the Qingzhang field, now the Tang Dynasty official has directly taken back almost half of the land.

This half is more than 2.1 million acres of land.

The land that remained in the hands of the Baekje people, even if only six buckets of grain per mu was levied, was quite terrifying.

"The fields in the hands of the Baekje people alone can collect nearly 1.3 million stone of rice a year. About half of the public land recovered by the imperial court was given to the Chang'an bond buyer as collateral for the bonds, and the remaining half could be used as a servant to Tuntian. ”

The grain obtained from the tuntian fields is even more.

"If the wind and rain are good, you can get no less than two million stones of grain a year, or even more."

In this way, there is a surplus of food for the soldiers, and they can no longer rely on the grain supply and transportation of the Central Plains, and can be supplied on the spot.

"It's not a small cost to settle the field yourself, right?"

Su Dingfang said that the tuntian is equivalent to the military's own farm, hiring farmers to farm the land, paying some wages, and then the harvest is almost all their own, because the military tun does not even have to pay taxes.

Of course, the tuntian also has the capital, and compared with the Baekje people's land to collect grain, they have to invest seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle in the early stage of their own grain.

Xue Rengui asked another question, "Isn't the land of the Baekje people levied according to rent?" ”

The regulation of rents is the foundation of the tax system of the Tang Dynasty, and its core is not to levy grain according to the number of acres, but to levy it according to the number of acres. Each ding pays rent two stones of millet every year, and there are other native products such as cotton silk.

The characteristic of this tax system is that no matter how much land your family has, the rent is only calculated according to the dingkou, and two stones will be levied for one dingding, regardless of whether you have 100 acres or 10 acres of land.

"The question raised by Xue Shuai is very critical, the rent adjustment is the foundation of my Datang tax system, and it is based on the Juntian system. But after all, this is a war zone, or a newly conquered place in the frontier, and it cannot be the same as the Central Plains, so what I mean, let's levy the land endowment, not according to the rent and the transfer, but after clearing the acres of land, directly according to the number of acres of land to levy, six buckets per mu. ”

"Six buckets per mu, will it be too high?" Xue Rengui asked again.

Normally, the field tax is generally around 30 taxes. If it is said that one mu of land collects grain and one stone, then the tax per mu is actually more than three liters, and Li Xiao said that if he levies six buckets, it will be at least sixty. Even if Baekje's fertile land is planted with rice, the yield per mu is only one and a half to two stones, and the land rent of six buckets and one mu is about one-third.

This is equivalent to a tenfold increase in the field endowment.

"Thirty taxes one, that's too low." Li Xiao is very ruthless, so he has to be ruthless to the enemy.

"The rent per mu is at least five buckets." "And I plan to implement the Juntian system in Baekje next." ”

In fact, the core of the uniform field system is not to give land for free, but to limit land. For example, the Central Plains Juntian system says that every Ding is granted 100 acres of land, including 20 acres of Yongye field and 80 acres of mouth land.

The eighty acres of land should be returned to the imperial court after the age of sixty-five, and the twenty acres of land could be passed on to future generations.

But that's just a nice talk, in fact, there is a premise for each Ding to grant 100 acres of land, first of all, this 100 acres is the highest number of acres that an ordinary civilian can have, for example, your family already has 100 acres of land, then you can't get an acre of land.

Secondly, the actual land has to be divided according to the number of acres of local fields, for example, 1,000 acres of land, there are 10 acres, that is, of course, 100 acres per ding. And if there are only 100 acres of land in total, and there are 10 acres, then each ding can only be granted 10 acres.

This is the uniform field system, and the core is to limit the field, not divide the field.

Li Xiao said that the core idea of the next step was to divide the land among the poor people in Baekje, but to attack the powerful landlords in Baekje.

The maximum limit of 100 acres per ding, which of those landlords and powerful people does not have a large number of estates and countless fields. Even if the fields are cleared now, one-tenth of the deed money is collected, and there is still a lot left.

It must be more than 100 acres, and when Li Xiao introduced the Juntian system, these Baekje heroes were not the nobles and lords of the Tang Dynasty, so of course they could not exceed the quota. As a result, the excess number of acres of land can only be levied by the imperial court, and some money can be symbolically compensated, which is actually to fight the local tyrants to collect the land.

The recovered fields will be divided into a part of the Baekje poor people who have registered their household registrations, and they will certainly not be divided too much, and in name they say that every 100 mu will be divided into 20 or 30 mu of land, and these lands will be divided into 28 acres of land according to the ratio of the mouth division and the Yongye field, and the mouth division field to be returned in the future will account for about 10 acres, and the Yongye field that can really stay will only have a few acres.

However, when the land is equalized, it is inevitable that the system of adjusting taxes will be implemented, and then the tax will no longer be collected according to the number of acres of land, but according to the number of acres.

Regardless of whether the landlords and powerful people still have 100 mu left in their homes, or those poor people who divide the land only have 20 or 30 mu in their hands, they have to pay two stones of land rent every year anyway.

All in all, the rent has dropped a lot.

But more of the land was taken over to the imperial court.

This is the policy that Li Xiao intends to implement in Baekje in the future, which can be regarded as an agrarian revolution. In fact, after the Sui unified the north and the south, the Tang ended the Sui rebellion, and the new dynasty was founded, they all implemented such a strategy.

On the one hand, a large number of lands were confiscated from the borderless lands and the fields of the landlords and magnates, while at the same time giving many poor people some land to survive.

"The land is the root of life, but I'm afraid those Baekje people won't be willing."

"So there's no rush to do this, it's one step at a time. When the time is ripe to implement it, those local tyrants of Baekje will have no ability to resist if they want to. Li Xiao said with a smile, this is a boiled frog in warm water. Now Li Xiao was not so fierce immediately, but a little gentler. Measure the land first, collect the deed money, and take away one-tenth of the land.

And then collect rent, although the rent is set high, but after all, those people have a lot of land and fields in their hands, and in the end there will be a lot of grain left in their hands.

When the Tang Dynasty has completely gained a firm foothold in Baekje, and then Li Xiao will take advantage of the situation to launch Juntian, and those Baekje tyrants will have no ability to resist if they want to.

"Then unify the point, collect three buckets of land rent per mu of private land of the Baekje people, and collect one bucket per mu of the fields handed over to the Tang people of the Central Plains. For the public land in the hands of the government, six buckets per mu will be charged to the tenants. ”
