Chapter 892: The Collapse of the Great Family
The Han family is the first of Hebei Haoqiang, and it is also the No. 1 family in the world, and this round of wind and rain is the first to bear the brunt. The Han family was caught up in a heated debate about what to do.
Han Gang resolutely resisted all the actions of the imperial court, and he even proposed to use the strong men and long-term workers in the hands of the Han family to carry the imperial court to the end...... He also found the armor and made a sword, and the tiger face seemed to fight to the death.
The other brothers, Han Jiang didn't speak with a dark face, Han Wei also lowered his head, the imperial court had just destroyed Western Xia, it was hundreds of thousands of people and horses, and it was easy to end without even a little water wave.
With the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty today, it is really unbeatable.
With the Han family, it can't be stopped at all, maybe they send a few thousand people, and it will be easily leveled...... Han Wei has been under Wang Ningan for many years, and he knows it very well in his heart.
If Wang Ningan is ready to exchange benefits, he must come up with conditions that are so generous that he can't refuse...... But if he doesn't exchange with you, it means that there is no room for maneuver, either bow his head or perish!
It's a matter of life and death!
……
Several elders of the Han family couldn't make up their minds, and there was chaos outside.
Han Zongwu spoke out to ask for the right to choose, but was driven out by Han Gang in anger, not only him, but the rest of the young people were also driven out.
Han Gang is very domineering, adults talk, what are you children talking about!
It's pitiful, some of these people have beards, but they are not children!
The big guys all surrounded Han Zongwu, some called brothers, some called uncles, and some called uncles, and everyone was going to cry. You are now an official, and you used to be a student of King Xiliang, you can speak, analyze it for the big guys, what should I do!
Han Zongwu sighed, he originally admired Wang Ningan the most, and he also studied the most.
But seeing Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Gong, and Su Zhe dominating, he was in an embarrassing situation and couldn't mention it...... In fact, I can't blame others, it's mainly his identity.
You say, Wang Anshi pushed the Qingmiao Law and the Fangtian Tax Law, touching the interests of the family, and Wang Ningan pushed the division of the fields and moved to Haoqiang, which angered the Han family.
He's caught in the middle, and it's strange that he can be in a good situation.
After being tortured in the past few years, Han Zongwu has become more and more withdrawn and eccentric, usually with a calm face and almost nothing to say.
But at this moment, he had to say!
"Since everyone asked me, I might as well speak up and explain everything clearly."
"That's the best, we're all confused!"
Han Zongwu cleared his throat, "The decree of the imperial court is to attack the Haoqiang family, there is nothing wrong with this, so why should you attack Haoqiang?" Why are there so many people in power in the government and the opposition who support attacking Haoqiang? We should also reflect on ourselves and think about whether something is wrong with us. ”
In normal times, no one will admit that they are wrong, but at this time, they can only listen to it.
Taking the Han family as an example, although there are many talents, there are still many ordinary clansmen.
But the problem is that the Han family's property is counted under a general ledger.
Han Yi should be the governor of the government, the court can't collect taxes, Han Jiang is the ruler, and the court can't collect taxes!
Not only can't you accept ordinary Han family people, but even other Han family's side houses, side branches, and even house slave house workers can't be accepted!
The imperial court exempted officials from land endowments, but it didn't exempt so many people from field endowments!
A Han family has at least 1,000 people exempt from taxes, affecting hundreds of thousands of tenants and millions of acres of land...... In the whole of Hebei, how many million acres are there?
If they are all such families, who will pay the taxes of the imperial court?
This is only the tip of the iceberg, the family has money, food, land, people, and patriarchal family rules that exceed the laws of the imperial court...... There is even ethnography, and there are trading houses, cash drawers...... Let's just say that every great family is a complete system, and it is almost like directly ascending the throne as the emperor of the soil.
Because of the existence of the family, the imperial court decree cannot be issued, and the population resources controlled by the family cannot enter the market and be deployed, they are like stubborn fortresses, resisting the tide of the times.
……
"The imperial court is definitely going to do it...... In the past, everyone was attached to the Han family and could get the benefits of tax exemption, but now? If you follow the Han family again, you will only be unlucky together, and if you say something unpleasant, it's time to disperse! ”
Scattered?
Separation!
Although Han Zongwu meant this when he was in the hall, he really said it, and it still scared everyone!
Han family!
That's a wealthy family, admired by people, not to mention anything else, people outside hear that you are from the Han family, even if it is a partial house, you have to take a look at it! It is also easier to marry a daughter-in-law than someone else's.
What should I do if I leave the big tree of the Han family?
Is there a way to live?
Everyone was terrified.
"This time, the imperial court is moving Haoqiang to Western Xia, you have to figure out first, what is the standard of this Haoqiang."
Han Zhongyan stretched out three fingers, "First, Haoqiang must have more than 100,000 yuan of family property; Second, there should be more than 5,000 acres of land production, or more than half of the land production in the state and county where they live; Third, there are more than 10 family members...... As long as any two of these three conditions are accounted for, they will be recognized as Haoqiang. ”
Of course, the three Han families have all occupied, and they are still greatly exceeded, and it is simply unreasonable for the court not to take them under the knife.
"If the family is divided, the house is partial, and there are family members, etc., the property is much lower than the standard, as for the land, you think about it, how much can you have?"
Everyone lowered their heads, in fact, they didn't need to count, they all counted in their hearts, more than 1,000 acres, and less than 100 acres.
According to the standard of land division, different places, if the population is large, evenly divided, the land will be less, on the contrary, the land that can be distributed is more, in the case of the Han family, almost 6 acres per person.
It doesn't seem like much, don't be busy, this time the field is divided according to the population, that is, women also have a share!
A family of five can get 30 acres of land, which was originally attached to the Han family, and it is not a small amount to hand over three or five percent of the land rent.
Or take 100 acres as an example, depending on the Han family, deducting the land rent, it is only equivalent to 65 acres of income.
In addition, there are various expenses in the clan, and they also have to contribute money.
If the land is divided, the land will be reduced, but the land endowment will also come down, and the difference will not be so great...... Moreover, the most important thing is that if you only plant 30 acres of land, you will have more than half a year at your disposal, and you can go out to work to make money, or you can do a little business to subsidize your family.
All in all, it will be a little bitter, but it will not fall into the sky and be unable to survive.
Some people even think it's good to divide it.
There are advantages to being attached to the big family, but the big family has many rules, strict constraints, regular sacrificial activities are held every year, and they have to work for the clan, and after careful calculation, it can only be said that there are gains and losses...... It's good to split up and make your own decisions!
The imperial court has even destroyed the Western Xia, and it is stupid to go against the imperial court, isn't it impatient to live!
And to put it a little too far, under the big tree, the benefits are not the direct longhouse of the Han family, they eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and ordinary people can't share much at all.
For a little soup and water, he competed with the imperial court, and this is not the way to find death! The big guy gradually had an idea, with a resolute look on his face, and he hugged his fists one after another, thanking Han Zongwu for his guidance.
Han Zongwu also sighed, of course he had feelings for the Han family, but he also knew that the big family had really come to an end, and the family built on blood and patriarchy had to be dissolved.
He was an official of the imperial court, and after the dissolution of the Han family, he could almost get 50 acres of land...... Han Zongwu didn't have the heart to run it at all, and he didn't think about cultivating and reading heirlooms, it was too outdated.
His son is five years old this year, and two years ago, he was sent to a kindergarten in Kaifeng, and he has never been exposed to farm work since he was a child.
All in all, don't let the child continue to be the master.
Not only him, but also many young people in the city think the same way, times are indeed changing.
With only 50 acres of land, it is not worth hiring a few people to cultivate it, so it is simply transferred or left to the imperial court, and he can just get a compensation.
Between the families, of course, there is a family connection, but if you have to share life and death, you have to listen to the elders of a family, and you can't breathe from generation to generation, it's really unnecessary!
Han Zongwu thought about it, and actually walked out of the Han family.
When he looked up, he saw a person waiting for him with a smile.
"It's Brother Zizhan!"
The person who came was Su Shi...... Su Daxian is middle-aged, and he likes to eat, chubby, simple, and completely a rough man, and he is getting farther and farther away from the fairy-like merry talent.
However, he is still as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, and when he heard about the Han family, he was afraid that he would implicate his friends, so he just came to see Han Zongwu!
"Brother Zizhan, I have thought about it, split up! Thoroughly, it's all divided, save you trouble! ”
Su Shi smiled, his mouth was broken, and he chattered, "I'll just say that you can think about it!" Let's go, brother, please eat hot pot and celebrate your new life! You don't know, up and down, how many eyes are staring at your house! Anyway, let's pick up soap together! I'm really afraid that you will take a wrong step and step into the empty ......."
After so many years, Wang Ningan didn't tell Su Shi what it meant to pick up soap, so Su Daxian still didn't care, hooked up with Han Zongwu, and said with a smile: "I'm really afraid that you won't be able to think about it, if you have to live and die with the family, it will be troublesome." ”
Han Zongwu smiled bitterly and threw Su Shi's arm, and said in a muffled voice, "Can you not want to?" That's all my relatives! I hope they don't make a mistake, if they have to force the court to kill chickens and monkeys, I can't save them! ”
As he was talking, the sound of duangduang suddenly sounded!
Han Zongwu opened his mouth wide, not good!
It's the big clock in the house!
According to the rules, as long as the bell rings, all the children of the Han family, including the Han family's long-term and short-term workers, family guards, and tenant farmers Ding Zhuang...... Gather together, and don't linger for a moment!
Usually only when the family encounters a crisis and there are thieves, will they ring the bell and gather people to protect themselves!
Could it be that Uncle and they, do they really want to die and break the net?
Han Zongwu didn't care about the hot pot, so he turned around and ran, and Su Shi had no choice but to follow...... In front of the Han family ancestral hall, a large group of people who had gathered in the black press had gathered, did they really want to tear their faces?
