Hearing this, Zhou Bian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that no one had noticed the military merits, and it must be known that the later generations of powerful dynasties such as the Han and Tang dynasties, and the rewards for military merits were far greater than the salaries of soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At present, the scholars of the Zhou Dynasty only care about whether they can get double copies of the salary and the salary, which shows that it is still a matter of vision, or they don't believe that the royal family will win the battle at all, so they don't think about military merits at all.

Looking at the eyes cast by the Taishi, Zhou Bian nodded slightly. So in the main hall, under the expectant gaze of everyone, only the voice of the Taishi sounded, "If you are qualified, you can receive both at the same time." ”

Suddenly, a lively voice sounded, and someone shouted, "There are still few palace guards, so I want to join." ”

Finally, the dynasty will end in a joyful atmosphere, yes, just because of the second article of the change, because of the poverty of the royal family, how many years have not been paid on time, many people have to have a meal without a meal, this time the royal family in the form of the change of the article listed, all of a sudden let many people find the feeling of being a nobleman.

After the change, Zhou Bian quickly convened a cabinet meeting, that is, the small court meeting, or those people at the first meeting, this meeting formally determined the position of the Taishi in charge of the overall situation, and the young master was in charge of military affairs and reform, and the young master was in charge of sacrifices, diplomacy and the distribution of the children of the noble clan, the position of the six ministers remained unchanged, and the other doctor Shan Wen was the minister in charge of change, and the middle doctor Liu Zixi was in charge of land reform, and allocated manpower from the royal servants to Liu Zixi to measure land and collect taxes. From then on, Jian Jia no longer managed the royal family's land revenue, and was in charge of several major factories and hotels of the royal family, which was the biggest source of income.

After the division of labor, the reform soon unfolded vigorously. According to the results of Zhou Bian's consultation with the people, each peasant household over the age of 12 was given five acres of land, which was registered by Liu Zixi, and a contract was made with the person who led the land, stipulating when and how much tax should be collected. Of course, at the same time, the population of Wangji was also counted. Shan Wen and the young master worked together to count the nobles and the children of the clan, approve the ranks, and set up a new roster.

A few days later, it was reported that the completion of the single article was not clear before, but now it is really shocking, there are more than 800 famous nobles and children of the clan, seeing this number, Zhou Bian is really a headache, if it is fifty yuan per capita, it is also 40,000 yuan per month, or not, since the words are out, let's do it according to this, Zhou Bian gritted his teeth and nodded.

However, Zhou Bian was most concerned about land reform, because turning the slaves of the aristocracy into peasants was a major sign of China's progress from a slave society to a feudal society.

A few days later, Liu Zixi finally came to report, and the land was cleared. In addition to Wenyi north of the river, Gongyi in the east and Luoyang in the west, the territory of the royal family, mainly concentrated in the north of Chengzhou City 60 li, east and west 30 li, south to the south of Luoshui there are still 20 li, and then remove the self-cultivated land belonging to the broken nobles and the fief of the popular aristocracy, the current direct to the royal family of more than 80,000 acres of land, and for the king to cultivate the land, regardless of men and women, a total of 20,000 people over the age of 12, according to the number of five acres per capita, there is still a difference of 20,000 acres, at present can only be owed first, but fortunately, Those who are owed do not have much opinion.

Zhou Bian heard this, his heart moved, and he thought of a method and said, "You can let those who have not been allocated land to open up the wasteland by themselves, and the tools used in the land reclamation can be provided by the royal family, and one person is allowed to open up five acres of wasteland, and he is exempt from paying taxes for three years." In addition, this king will make the prison armor take the opportunity to recruit more people, in fact, it is easier to get money as a partner in the royal industry. ”

Liu Zixi's mind lit up when he heard it, the king's method is clever, why didn't he think of it.

When he was about to leave at the end, Liu Zixi hesitated and said, "The king still has one thing, many villagers have children who are only eleven years old, or nine to ten years old. There is also the land shared by the women in the family, if the woman marries, should she take it away? ”

It's really not easy to be satisfied, thinking about Zhou Bian and said, "In the future, there will be no land, just take this time as the standard, the land of each family will not be taken back even if someone dies in the family, and it will be inherited by the eldest son or divided by the brothers according to the old man's life. There are also women who marry or do not take away the land at home, it is up to them, and the royal family does not intervene, but no matter who the family is, taxes are indispensable, and they only need to go to the government to re-register the deed. ”

Liu Zixi nodded and left.

However, as the initiator, he still needs to see the effect, so the next day, Zhou Bian took a group of guards, as well as Liu Ruoshui, out of the city to the north to check the effect.

Twenty miles north of the city is Liu Ruoshui's hometown, so after hearing about it, Liu Ruoshui also shouted to follow. When I returned to my hometown, I couldn't see anyone in the village, and then I went to the fields to find it, and then I saw that everyone was in full swing, and it turned out that they were all in the field, and their enthusiasm must be really different from the past. In the past, the royal family kept a fixed amount for the cultivators not to starve to death, and the rest was taken away, but now they take a part of it proportionally, and the rest is all their own, so when the harvest is good, they keep more for themselves, so the enthusiasm of the villagers is also high.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Bian suddenly felt proud in his heart, what he wanted was to make the country strong and the people rich, so he couldn't help but boast proudly to the people around him, "Now the people of Wangji will gradually become rich, this year's harvest should be good, and whether it is a car factory or a winery, a lot of wood must be used, this king has long heard that the people of Chengzhou suburbs go up the mountain to cut down trees in their spare time, and they can exchange a few dollars for a few dollars in the city, and now every family has a few spare money, so that there are more merchants in the Chengzhou market." Haha, what the king wants, it's just a long-term peace. ”

Seeing that Zhou Bian rarely smiled, everyone praised one after another, "This is the king's wisdom, presumably the people of Zhou will be grateful to the king!" ”

Unexpectedly, a slightly sad voice sounded out of place, and it turned out to be Liu Ruoshui pouting and whispering, "It would be nice if my parents were still there." ”

Fan Yu suddenly glanced at Liu Ruoshui, Liu Ruoshui knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

However, Zhou Bian didn't mind, smiled and touched the little girl's head and said, "What your king wants, naturally not only this, in the future, the people of Wangji will no longer have the scourge of swords." If this king cannot protect them, he is not a worthy king. One day, I will take your brother and go into another country to avenge your parents. ”

Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui smiled, "The slave and maid have just lost their words, and the king doesn't have to mind." ”

Zhou Bian feigned anger and said, "Don't you trust your king?" ”

"Yes, of course. The king of my family will be able to glorify the cause of civil and military affairs and revive my Great Zhou! Liu Ruoshui immediately begged for mercy, and Zhou Bian couldn't help laughing.

After visiting a few more villages, and after asking a few old farmers at random, everyone went back to Chengzhou. Unexpectedly, when there were still a few miles away from the city, but he heard the sound of quarrels, Zhou Bian stopped the carriage, and ordered Zhou Mi to come forward to inquire about the news, and after a while, he listened to Zhou Mi come back to report, it turned out that this Chengzhou City was near the nobles' fields, if they cultivated by themselves, it was fine, but some nobles still had hundreds of acres of land in their homes, such as Taishi Shaoshi and Young Master and others, naturally there was slavery farming, and at this time, seeing that the royal family's fields were allocated to their own farming, and they were still the same as before for the master's life and could not eat, if it was as before everyone was helping people to farm, It doesn't make much difference whether it's for the royal family or for the nobility, but now the difference is bigger, so naturally if you don't follow it, you have the audacity to make trouble and quarrel with the steward of the noble family.

It turned out that this was the case, it was really not a widow but an uneven one, Zhou Bian sighed lightly and ordered everyone to continue to walk back.

After returning to the palace, Zhou Bian summoned the three of them, and asked casually, "Are the three of you still satisfied with the royal family?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the Taishi replied, "The old man has two thousand yuan a month, and the young master and the young master have one thousand and five hundred yuan a month, which is already a lot, even if it is enough to raise some slaves." ”

"Oh, that's good. But there is one more thing, this king has heard today that the servants in your fields outside the city have asked for the land to be divided as well. ”

The young master secretly screamed in his heart, is the king still going to open the knife to the nobles' land, and when he was about to speak, he was robbed of the head by the young master, "There are a few people in the old man's family, and the old man and the dog have a fortune, so don't want the field, please take it back." ”

"No, the land was given to your ancestors by the kings, and the king cannot take it without permission. It's not a matter of just letting them make trouble, this king has three ways for you to choose, what do you think? ”

"I want to hear about it." This time it was the Taishi who spoke.

"First, sell the land to the royal family, my royal family will pay 1,000 yuan per acre, if the cash is not enough, I will owe it first, and I hope to understand. Second, you can also be like the royal family, charging a certain amount of rent per acre of land, as long as it is too much, no one will have an opinion. Third, pay the workers to start work. What do you think? ”

Taishi didn't think much about it, and took the lead in saying, "The old man is willing to follow the king's second method." The young master naturally did the same, and then the three of them looked at the young master, only to see the young master smile, "The old man is the same." ”

"The three of them are really my important ministers of the Great Zhou, so sympathetic to the king's people, this king is here to thank you." Zhou Bian arched his hand as he spoke, and continued, "It's just that the rest of the nobles' families still need to be bothered by Master Shaofu." ”

The young master nodded hurriedly, and he agreed.
