Chapter 388: Tuntian System Reform
"Your Highness!" Waking up from his weakness, Fu Shou subconsciously called Liu Jue.
I changed to a clean place to stay, but I didn't see my son, and I was a little panicked. When Liu Jue heard the sound, he was not far away, and he planned to leave all affairs to accompany Fu Shou today.
"You have made a great contribution to isolation, and my father is very happy to see Liu Yu!" Liu Yu gently brushed Fu Shou's hair.
"Liu Yu!" Fu Shou muttered.
Liu Yuan and Lan Yu returned to the palace, which was a joy all the way.
"You prepare more things and reward them in the Zhou Palace, and you take care of them more during this time!" Liu Yuan smiled and instructed Lan Yu.
"The birth of the emperor's eldest grandson is a happy event for Yu and the country!" Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and slapped his leg: "I want to give amnesty to the world and reduce the people's taxes and servitude!" ”
The taxes of the Xia Kingdom have always been not low, regardless of Hu and Han, there is a lot of oppression. Especially since the founding of the country, Liu Xia has taken the lead in martial arts, often conquered, and the national strength has been greatly consumed. Taking last year's war as an example, the war lasted for several months, and the war drew a lot of nutrients from the people at home.
In the past, the world was in turmoil, and the people of Li Shu suffered from the troubled times, but they could still endure it. However, time has passed, and today, although the countries are separated, the overall situation has been stabilized, and if the internal pressure is carried out again, the country will be chaotic. There are many problems in Xia Guo, and Liu Yuan has always been concerned about the people's livelihood issues.
It has long taken advantage of the truce of the countries to reduce the endowment, reduce the pressure, sort out the country, and let the people of the Xia Kingdom recuperate for some years. The birth of the eldest grandson this time coincided with the meeting.
It's just that I don't know if the baby in swaddling clothes can withstand such a lift.
Originally, Liu Yu's birth was a common thing, and under Liu Yuan's hard work, there was a lot of royal blood. Even with the particularity of the status of the emperor's eldest grandson, it is not enough to cause too much sensation.
However, Liu Yuan made it clear that with the birth of his eldest grandson, he pardoned the world, reduced taxes, and lightly forced labor, and the movement was too big. I had to let Chang'an think about whether there was another deep meaning behind His Majesty.
Although this is really just a whim of Liu Yuan, I can't help but think about it too much.
The Zhou Palace's Mansion was full of joy, Liu Heng and the princess of the Chen Palace's Mansion stepped up the man-making movement, as for Liu Cheng, his princess Wei was pregnant, and he was not in a hurry.
The tuntian system is the most proud handiwork of Liu Yuan's governance. Tracing back to Tuntian, we have to start from Liu Yuan before he succeeded to the Xiongnu Shan Yu, when there were only a few thousand captive Han people who farmed for him, which was the prototype of Tuntian in the Xia Kingdom.
It has been implemented in the Xia State for many years, and over the years, both the military and the people have produced a large amount of grain every year, but most of them have become government treasury grain. At that time, hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin people moved into Taiyuan to think that they were Tunmin, and after a while, the Jinzhong Plain has become the largest granary in Xia except Guanzhong.
There is no doubt that the land can benefit the country and the army, and the state obtains a large amount of money and grain from it, so that the land can be reused and not wasted, and the livelihood of the people can be guaranteed. Many of the local armies of the Xia Kingdom were self-sufficient by relying only on military camps.
However, the tuntian system is actually based on the exploitation of the tun pawns and the tun people. Most of the one-year-old labor was handed over to the state, even if Liu Yuan reduced the proportion of the share to five officials and five people a few years ago, the proportion still seems exaggerated.
In the past, when the homeless people had no land to cultivate, no clothing, and no food, they could be satisfied if they could get a place to stand. People's desires and needs change with the change of time, and in the current situation, Liu Yuan's simple and crude tuntian system is no longer sufficient.
The people of the tun hope to have their own land to inherit their families, and hope to have surplus food every year.
As a result of last year's war in the north, the land in various localities was even more ruthlessly exploited, and eighty percent of the grain was confiscated for military use, resulting in large-scale escapes among the people in various localities. Many people would rather go to the clans of the Xia Kingdom as slaves and tenants.
In the Xia Kingdom, Liu Yuan allowed the existence of the family, but the premise was that it was used by him, and his authority could not be constrained by the family. Regardless of the Hu Han clan, whoever dares to exceed the rules will be beaten and killed, as the founding monarch of the world, Liu Yuan has this confidence.
Of course, Liu Yuan was also clear about the "harm" of the family, but he didn't care. He is confident that during his reign, the Xia family will not be able to make any waves, and the headache will be the king after two or three generations. But Liu Yuan rarely cared about future generations, and he never thought about building a thousand-year empire.
In today's Xia Kingdom, although Liu Yuan's employment style has always been eclectic, regardless of whether he is high or low, he is actually still an aristocratic politics.
Most of the high-ranking officials in various places are from the Hu and Han clans, although there are many poor people who are simple and despicable between the military and the government, but the size is still too small for the entire Xia Kingdom.
Liu Xia, with Hu and Han, never thought of completely eliminating the family. He hoped that the Hu clan would evolve into a Han-style family and thus merge. At least for now, the results are good.
In the escape of the tun people in the last year, the local families were fattened a lot and swallowed up some population land. This is not allowed by Liu Yuan, and the edict will give him an honest spit out if he should spit it out.
But what the specific situation is, Liu Yuan really doesn't know very well, and it always seems too empty to get something from the piece on paper. However, from the side, Liu Yuan also understood that the Tuntian system had developed to the point where it had to change.
Liu Yuan is not a mediocre talent, so he naturally understands the principle of adapting measures to the times, and the national situation in the past was limited, so he had to do it. But now, when it changes, it changes.
In March, Liu Yuan officially issued an edict to reform Xia Tuntian.
Among the courtiers, there were radicals, and it was proposed that Liu Yuan directly abolish the tuntian and distribute the land to the people of tunmin. "The homeless has his house, and the cultivator has his land", Liu Yuan also hopes to achieve it, but just think about it.
Liu Yuan would not directly abolish Tuntian, how could he give up easily after tasting enough sweetness. After careful weighing, try to reform it. Three years later, the tuntian was owned by the people, and the people could convert the grain into grain.
As for the military tun, it has completely become the responsibility of Xia Min's military service, the nature of half soldier and half peasant is unchanged, and the land belongs to the emperor and the state. However, the annual period of military service can be accumulated, and when you reach the age of two, you can be given acres of land, but most of them are also for foreign soldiers. Nowadays, the military system of the Xia State and the military system of the world are basically not worried about the land problem, and Liu Yuan has never been stingy with his soldiers.
The policy has been introduced, but to implement it, it also needs the execution of the Xia Kingdom, which is a bit difficult. This matter was controlled and implemented by the commissioner of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was laborious and error-prone, and Liu Cheng took the initiative to take it. He told Liu Yuan that he wanted to do practical things.
Guanzhong, Bingzhou, and Hetao are the largest areas in Tuntian in Xia Kingdom. The policy was conveyed from Chang'an to the prefectures and counties, and the phenomenon of instability among the people in various places was suddenly clear. I saw hope, and I was motivated again, but it was only three years.
