Qingcheng School Palace, in the small courtyard where He Li lives, there are voices of discussion from time to time. There were seven or eight Confucian scholars sitting in the room. One of them is Zhang Jun, who led the incident on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, sitting on a chair in the middle, obviously a central figure. There was also a white-faced scholar with a Chinese character face sitting next to him, thirty years old, with a good bearing, and he knew that he was a character when he sat there. This person is the leader of Taixue who is as famous as Zhang Jun, Chen Dong and Chen Shaoyang.

Although the light in the room was dim, the atmosphere was very warm, and they were all talking about the Four Kingdoms Cutting Gold, "Begging and Suppressing the Merger and Parallel Juntian Shu", and the theory of "abolishing the imperial examination and revitalizing the school" that had recently begun to heat up in Kaifeng Prefecture.

He Li looked a little tired, his eyes were red, and he was looking at a copy of Shilin Xinbao, a newspaper supported by the New Party, and just seven days ago, this newspaper published an article signed "Kang Liang", proposing to "abolish the imperial examination and build a school", and also blamed the weakness of the Song Dynasty's soldiers on the imperial examination. In addition, the method of combining the selection of scholars in the academy and the advancement of military merits was proposed to replace the original imperial examination system.

As soon as the article came out, there was an uproar. It's not a shouting fight, because now there are also a number of officials from the academy in the officialdom of Kaifeng Mansion, although they are not as noble as the non-commissioned officers from the imperial examination, but they also have a certain strength.

The guns of the new army are in the hands of these academy officers!

In addition, Biyong School Palace (Taixue) is also the head of all schools! The school is a great benefit for students!

And the few people gathered here in He Li today are all students, so the main thing everyone is discussing is the matter of "abolishing the imperial examination and building the school". He Li, who was born as a champion, was dedicated to two things, reading the newspaper while talking to the students.

"It may be advisable to abolish the imperial examination in order to promote military merits, but the matter is too big to be done blindly."

"Zhou Guo is not all scholars in the academy, and there are also officials by examination. The officials of the Zhou State were divided into two ways: affairs and government affairs, and the officials of affairs either went out of school or took them by examination. The first officials were all officials, and then they were gradually promoted through military merit, service merit, and annual merit......"

"If the imperial examination is abolished alone, but not Juntian, then how can the small people have a way forward? Those who enter the hall are either rich or noble, and there are very few wise men in the countryside! In the long run, the country will be controlled by the rich and wealthy, and I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the two Jins. ”

"Yes, there are too few schools now, there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, and the only way to be promoted from the poor is the imperial examination, so how can it be wasted?"

"If you want to abolish the imperial examination, you must first complete the field, and then set up a wide range of schools, so that all the children of the poor family can enroll......"

"Zhou Zhijuntian is not a good law, because the land of a country is granted to more than 200,000 knights and soldiers, and the rest of the people have no land to rely on, or they are engaged in the end of industry and commerce, or they are reduced to customers. This is not the way to stay peaceful......"

"The law of long-term peace is to plan and give the field orally, and at the same time set up another military household to grant the field, and the ordinary people grant acres of dry land, and the military households can grant more acres. Military households give land to be soldiers, and small people give land to rent ......"

"Where does the land come from? This matter is easy, and the law of inspecting the land and searching the field can be carried out. Summing up the hidden fields in the world, there are no more than 120 million acres. Half of the land is given to the dictatorial field, and half is given to the military households. According to the calculation of 30 acres of land granted to each military household, more than 60 million mu can be granted to more than 2 million military households, which are divided into four times, each with 500,000 people! Isn't it enough to level the Golden Imperial Week? ”

He Li really thought it through, and really found a seemingly feasible method of Juntian. For the registered private land, we will not touch it first, but dig up all the hidden fields of the people through land inspection and clearing.

The hidden fields dug up are all official property and belong to the fields that can be granted. Half of them were awarded to landless or landless farmers. Half of the military households awarded to the reason for serving as soldiers to fight - according to He Li's own estimates, a military household with 30 acres of land should be enough, and 100 acres or 150 acres like Zhou Guo is actually too thick and not needed at all. Because according to He Li's observations, the farmland in the Zhou Kingdom was all grass rotation, and it was usually planted only for one season.

Planting one season is because of the shortage of labor, planting two crops must be rushed to plant and harvest, and the lack of manpower will miss the farming time, and one season of crops will save much labor, and can be harvested and sown slowly.

Therefore, the utilization rate of 90 million mu of cultivated land in Zhou is not high, and the reason why there is a good grain output is mainly because 60 million mu of these 90 million mu is the black soil of Liaodong. The harvest of one acre of black soil is worth a few acres in the Central Plains. Even if only 30 million acres of black soil are sown for one season every year, even if the wind and rain are not so smooth, it is enough to produce hundreds of millions of stone of wheat.

For the Zhou State, which has a population of less than 10 million, it simply cannot eat so much wheat, and there is still enough spare power to export and establish strategic reserves.

Therefore, among the more than 9,000 acres of cultivated land in the Zhou Kingdom, only 30 million acres of black soil are sown with grain every year, which may not be so much. Most of the land outside Liaodong is planted with cash crops, and it is also a grassland rotation.

Half of the land planted with grass, as well as the two prairies belonging to the Eastern Liao, can also provide tens of millions of large livestock and countless dairy products every year. It can provide enough protein and fat for the people of Zhou.

Therefore, He Li basically couldn't see people who couldn't eat enough in the land of the Zhou State, even if they were tenants and slaves, they could fill their bellies.

The Song State must not be able to waste land like this, the Song State has a population of 100 million, and after deducting the land for planting non-food crops, it would be good to have 450 million mu for the production of grain. Moreover, floods and droughts are staged in turn, and most of the land is not very fertile, which cannot be compared with the black soil of Liaodong. If we had also adopted the method of crop rotation and planting only one crop, I am afraid that many people would have to starve to death.

And to make full use of the land, then it is very good for a family to cultivate 30 acres. The soldiers and knights of the Zhou State all use horse-drawn plows to plough the fields! How could the Song Kingdom have this condition? The appetite of a horse is worth several people, and if it is not a rotation of grass fields, how can it be possible to feed a horse pulling a plow?

Therefore, in He Li's view, a household with 30 acres of land can support a family of soldiers.

With 60 million acres of land, 2 million military households can be raised. With 2 million military households, it can support an army of 500,000 people.

In addition, another 60 million mu of land will allow tens of millions of landless households to get land -- five or six acres per household can also stabilize these poor people.

"Brother Wen Jin," Zhang Jun, who was born in a famous family, was a little puzzled, and asked He Lidao, "Military households can grant land, why do you need to benefit poor households?" ”

He Li said: "When I was in Tianjin Prefecture, I often saw displaced people from the Central Plains, or they became customers, or engaged in industry and commerce. Recently, Wu Haogu wanted to go to Goryeo, and he was luring the landless poor households in the Central Plains to settle in Goryeo. The conditions for the offer were to grant 10 acres to one person, and 50 acres of fertile land to Goryeo for a family of five. In addition, the land is tax-free for two years and halved for three years, and the Korea Farmers' Bank will also provide low-interest loans...... If our country does not show compassion for the poor, I am afraid that within two years, 100,000 families of the Central Plains will move to Goryeo! ”

There are about 8 million mu of arable land in North Goryeo, and more than 2 million mu of arable land in Yanbian Province, which is ruled by Ma Zhi. The sum of the two is more than 10 million mu (Ma Zhi will hand over Yanbian Province after acquiring the territory of South Goryeo, and his army will also move to South Goryeo, and the land will be handed over naturally). Wu Haogu planned to give half of the land to new knights and soldiers, and the remaining half to recruit immigrants from the Central Plains. It can almost lure 100,000 households and 500,000 mouths.

With these 500,000 immigrants, plus the government soldiers and military households who were granted to the Goryeo Peninsula, and the residents of the peninsula who still considered themselves Han Chinese. There will soon be more than 1 million Han Chinese on the Goryeo Peninsula...... It's not hard to digest.

After digesting Goryeo, the power of the Zhou State became even stronger! Not only has the land increased by two or three thousand miles, but the population has also increased by a million. And also formed an outflanking of the eastern part of the Song Kingdom from the sea!

He Li frowned deeply and said: "Now that the people of the Central Plains are in difficulty, there are more and more displaced people who have left their hometowns and are running around, if the imperial court does not settle them, there will be no chaos, and they will also flow into the Zhou Kingdom, for the sake of Wu Haogu!" ”

The natural economy of the Central Plains was suffering from the impact of the embryonic capitalist economy of the Zhou State and the southeast coast, and many bankrupt and homeless people were born.

And now the imperial court does not recruit homeless people to enlist in the army, so many homeless people have no way out, so they are easily pulled over by Zhou Guohua.

After all, there are fewer people in the Zhou country, and there are many people in the Zhou country, and the industry and commerce are also developed, so it is really much easier to make a living.

So in the past few years, at least 100,000 people from the Central Plains have flowed into the Zhou State every year!

Now Wu Haogu has opened the bait of granting land, obviously wanting to increase the efforts to attract the Central Plains refugees.

Chen Dong touched his beard, looking worried about the country and the people, "Brother Wen Zhen is reasonable!" In the past, the imperial court could not suppress annexation, because there were no two families in the world. But things are different today. The world's homeless people do have a place to go in peace! ”

Zhang Jun also said: "The more people Zhou wins, the stronger its national strength will be." The greater the threat to the imperial court! Brother Wen Jin, Brother Shaoyang, we are all scholars, we can't sit back and watch the world fall into chaos! ”

"That's right! Let's listen to it again! "This time, the person who proposed to go up again was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young student named Ouyang Che, who was a talented man from Jiangxi. In the same year as Zhang Jun, he entered Taixue. In terms of writing and saying things, he is also quite positive.

"It's not proper, it's not proper," He Li shook his head and said, "This matter involves the inspection of land and Qingtian, and even among the four students, there are many criticisms. ”

"What Brother Wen Zhen said is very true, the matter of Juntian is not suitable to mobilize students to go to the sparse." Another white-faced Confucian student in his twenties took over the topic, "Let's set up a society to promote Juntian." ”

"Brother Changyu's proposal is good, and I will seconded it below." Another Confucian student, who was a little older and slightly hunchbacked, took over the topic, "The name of the society might as well be called the Retro Society." ”

The proposal seems to be good! He Li looked at the man, a little dumbfounded.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "These two are both talented people in Taixue. "He's always been young," the surname is Yue, and the word is Changyu. He pointed to another person, "This surname is Liu Mingyu, and the word is Yu." ”
