Volume 10 Heading North Chapter 855 [Pro-Tang]
Huang Jie doesn't know much about Toba, but in general, it is still clear that his father, Emperor Shirakawa, is in control of everything in Japan, and he still controls his son as the second generation of the puppet emperor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Huang Jie himself is not interested in Japan, and the channels for obtaining news from Japan are not smooth now, he is really unclear about the specific state in Japan.
Moreover, as soon as this bird feather came, he did not bow to Huang Jie, and strongly asked Huang Jie to help him return to Japan to regain the throne, but expressed the idea of "the world is so big, I want to see it", which really caught Huang Jie off guard.
However, thinking that Huang Jie had no grudges with the Japanese in the past and no enmity in the near future, and he met this bird feather for the first time, he shouldn't have to cheat to make money, so Huang Jie could only believe it. That night, he was also received and stayed in Huangfu with a family banquet, and later went to find his uncle, Yao Zheng, who is now the prefect of Huangzhou, found a mansion under the jurisdiction of the government to live with this bird feather.
Naturally, he was also a guest when he came, and Huang Jie also took him to Longshan Academy to have a good look, but he didn't expect him to be very interested in Zhao Liangsi's "international class", and after listening to two classes on the current affairs of Goryeo, Jin and Western Xia, he actually proposed to study under Zhao Liangsi's door, and also took the initiative to explain and ask for advice on the current affairs in Japan, but Huang Jie and Zhao Liangsi were not easy to refuse.
Broadly speaking, Japan today is in what is known as the "Heiankyo Period" (Heian Period). It is said that about 300 years ago, Japan sent "envoys to the Tang Dynasty" to the Tang Dynasty (probably the period from Li Longji to the Zhou Wu Dynasty) to comprehensively study the politics, economy and culture of the Tang Dynasty, and the reigning Emperor Huanmu (reigned 781 AD-806 AD) ascended the throne, so he decided to comprehensively "Tangization" and follow a "pro-Tang" strategy to carry out reforms for Japan.
At that time, it was not the emperor who really held the real power of the Japanese court, but the "daimyo" in various places, this daimyo, that is, similar to the princes of the Central Plains Dynasty, actually governed and controlled the manpower and land under his rule, so this Emperor Kanmu wanted to reform, and it was obviously impossible without the support of the daimyo, but this guy still had some ability, and he moved the capital to Nagaoka in 784 A.D. with the support of Fujiwara Tanetsugu (738 A.D. - 785 A.D.) who overthrew the monk and obtained the real power to rule. Heijokyo, where the old forces such as aristocrats and large temples were intertwined, left behind.
After Huan Wu successfully moved the capital, he also actively maintained the legal system in accordance with the "Tang Law" and refreshed the new local politics. In terms of the social and economic system, reforms were also carried out in accordance with the "Tang Law".
In a word, the reform of the Huan Wu Dynasty strengthened the economic and military strength of the feudal state, and the authority of the emperor centralized state was maintained.
Emperors after the Huanwu Dynasty also carried out reforms. Emperor Saga (reigned 809-822 AD) reorganized the government agencies in order to strengthen the emperor's power and improve work efficiency, and set up "Tibetans" and "inspectors". Both of these are official positions that are not specified in the order, so they are called "foreign officials". Tibetans served the emperor at his side, were in charge of confidential documents, conveyed the emperor's edicts, and prosecuted non-violators in charge of Kyoto's military, police, and judicial matters. These two official posts, which were originally temporary, were later changed to permanent positions, and were placed in the Tibetan Detention Center and the Office of the Procuratorate for Non-Violation of Customs, and their powers became more and more extensive.
As a result of the ongoing reforms, many of the original laws and regulations were outdated and needed to be constantly revised, so Emperor Saga ordered the establishment of a "format" and the name "Hirohito Format".
Although the feudal ruling class carried out some political reforms, the collapse of the bantian system, which was the land system of plundering the peasants in the early feudal state, was still inevitable. Due to the collapse of the bantian system, the state had to adopt a new method of renting and levying taxes in order to ensure financial resources, and the field blocking system (negative name system) appeared.
The system of land blockage is to allow relatively well-to-do peasant households to contract the operation of a certain area of cultivated land every year and bear the responsibility of paying rent. This kind of contractor is called "Tian Du" (also known as "Tian Dao" or "Tian Bu"), and the contracted cultivated land is called "negative name", and the contracted cultivated land of Tian Du must submit an application ("petition") to the state every spring to conclude a contract. On the one hand, the adoption of the land blocking system shows that after the bantian system was stopped, the state tried to prevent the land from being owned by the peasants in this way and continue to maintain the land state ownership system. On the other hand, it shows that the state has to some extent recognized the fruits of the peasant struggle in Bantian since the middle of the eighth century, that is, the peasants' possession of the land actually cultivated. The term "field blocking" seems to have originated from the habit of land occupiers to build walls around the land they occupy. Of course, because the contract is changed once a year, it shows that the land ownership method is still very unstable. With the implementation of the land blockage system, the government no longer levies rents according to the number of people in the citizen's household register, but according to the actual area of land cultivated in the land register.
The system appeared in the 9th century A.D., and later due to the persistence of the struggle, the field was able to gradually strengthen the possession of cultivated land, and the occupation of cultivated land was relatively stable, and the land occupied was added with its own name, called "×××× name". As a result, the "Naida" was created, and its owner was called the "Nakasu". "Famous fields" can be inherited and transferred, and the rights and responsibilities of the "famous owner" over the "famous field" are called "famous masters". "Nada" is generally 1 to 3 towns, and some only reach a dozen or dozens of towns, so the owners are divided into small lords (小名田捀東) and daimyo lords (daimyo 田區). The small owners are wealthy farmers and yeoman farmers, who basically rely on their own labor to cultivate the famous fields, and those who lack labor rent part of the famous fields to poor farmers such as "small people", "zuoren", and "famous sons". The daimyo lord is the "lord of the lord", and most of them are in the frontier area. Their famous fields are not operated in the same way, either all or partially, and the part that is not leased is used as direct farmland. In the directly managed fields, the "subordinates" with the status of semi-slave dependent peasants are often used as the main laborers. Although the lords were large and small, including different classes, their position on the relationship with the state was basically the same, because the state levied rent and conscription on them equally.
After the 10th century, there was an increase in the number of inbound estates, which were different from self-cultivated estates. This refers to a manor formed by receiving land that was "sent" (contributed). Originally, in order to obtain the protection of power and use this power to keep their manor from being lost, the local development lord often dedicated his manor to the central aristocracy and the big temples, regarded him as the lord, called the "collar family", and gave a part of the annual tribute of the manor, while he retained the "subordinate position" or "pre-office" (both referring to the village officials) to stay in place and manage the manor. If the "lord" thinks that his power is still not enough to compete with the national division, he will dedicate the manor to the more powerful nobles and worship it as the "main family", so that the "main family" becomes a higher lord. As a result, within the manor, a system of hierarchical ownership of the annual tribute and land was formed, which was divided among the various levels of annual tribute and land.
