Chapter 0086 - The Extremes of Things Must Be Opposed
"Hey...... You summoned the officials today to ask about things, and Zhang Kuangtu immediately knew what you wanted to do, so you can't be in a hurry, just watch...... If my prediction is correct, there will be an accident in ten days and a half months, and if there is no accident this time, there will definitely be an accident at the time of the summer harvest. Feng Qianhou said confidently.
"So, the old fox can't sit still with his eyebrows burned, is he going to make a move? What do you think he will do? Zhang Yue laughed meaningfully.
"I don't know how he does it, anyway...... It's best for you to leave Yanzhou! In this way, he Zhang Kuangtu can't be a handsome, and he can always be a rich man, and if you hit a big family like this, his good life will come to an end, it's you...... Can you be willing? ”
"Haha...... Ginger is still old and spicy! Zhang Yue gave a thumbs up, turned up and opened the cabinet behind him, took out a large stack of household registration and field files, and distributed half of Feng Qianhou, and said with a smile: "Then let's check and calculate now, and see how much Yongye land each household shares, and the mouth is appropriate." ”
In fact, at the beginning of this year, the DPRK and the Central Government issued an edict to all prefectures and counties: "All provincial prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the fields leased to the displaced people for cultivation and the taxes levied are profitable.
Wherever there were farms, mulberry soils, and houses that had been rented by the displaced people, they were given to each household as a permanent inheritance, and the counties were ordered to give vouchers; All taxes and profits levied by households that originally belonged to the Ministry of Household Households and the households of the county will be exempted from this year. The existing cattle are given to the household, and the government will never collect them. ”
Emperor Guo Wei came from the people, and was very aware of the shortcomings of camping fields, and used all the tens of thousands of manor fields of local governments to give to existing tenants as permanent inheritance.
This edict is very timely, not only solving the problems caused by the frequent movement of local population, but also greatly reducing the burden on the people, and the main beneficiaries are of course tenants.
Decades ago, when Liang Taizu Zhu Wen conquered Huainan, he allowed the soldiers to plunder the cattle of tens of thousands of local households, and Zhu Wen rented all the stolen cattle to households in the southeast states to obtain cattle rent. In the following decades, the dynasty changed several times, and the cattle rent still existed, and Guo Wei also issued an edict at the beginning of the year to exempt it.
An official wrote that if the manor land belonging to the government was sold to a tenant, he could get 300,000 yuan of money, and he could also increase the cost of the state.
Guo Wei said: If it is beneficial to the people, what is the difference between it and helping the country?
There are about 100,000 displaced people and tenants in Yanzhou, and the emperor's edict was issued for a few months, and the officials in Yanzhou did not pay attention to it.
The so-called upper policy, lower there are countermeasures, the state and county officials are all from the local big and wealthy families, the relationship between the localities is intertwined, to distribute the land, then first need the cooperation of these officials. If they don't let go, they won't be able to do it.
So how much land is appropriate for each household, and is it redistributed or partially distributed? Obviously, this water is too deep, the interests of too many people are involved, and the emperor can't solve the problem fundamentally, so the edict is vague, it can be regarded as doing something good, and the effect of course depends on the implementation of local officials.
"In these years, the population has plummeted, and a lot of land has been barren, but there is no shortage of fields, and there is no need for comprehensive clearing and redistribution. It can be done according to the uniform land system in the early Tang Dynasty, that is, young and strong men over 18 years old are granted one hectare of land, of which 20 acres are Yongye fields and 80 acres are divided fields. The land was divided to grow grain, and if he died, he would be returned to the government. Do you think this number is still feasible? Feng Qianhou asked.
"It worked in the Tang Dynasty, but now! All I can say is, fake ...... Big...... Empty! Zhang Yue laughed and added: "It's very simple, what kind of family is the homeless tenant, not only poor, but also young and strong, and the farm tools and ploughing cattle are not ready, can they plant a hundred acres of land?" ”
"Not bad! It seems that you also have this cognition, so we will use this as a basis, 20 acres of Yongye field per household, and 30 acres of mouth land, which is the most appropriate! There are also regulations according to the Tang Dynasty:
the halving of the concurrent industry and commerce, and the narrow township does not give it; slaves and maidservants and ploughing cattle are not given; Fallow fields are doubled for one or two years, and not in narrow villages; The elderly and the disabled are given 40 acres of land, and widows and concubines are given 30 acres; Divided fields are not allowed to be bought and sold, except for those who move from narrow townships to wide townships; If the land has been sold and not moved, the land will not be given again; Where the mouth is divided into fields, they are all from the nearest convenience, such as the county has no field, can be given in the near county; The granting and returning of land are completed in October and December every year. ”
Feng Qian's thick mouth is like a river, and his back is like a stream, and the distribution of land and property in the Tang Dynasty is very clear.
"This rule has to be changed, and it is no problem to apply it according to the actual situation!" Zhang Yue nodded and said, in fact, he didn't understand what Feng Qianhou said.
"The official Yongye Tian has always been hereditary, so are the officials of Yanzhou hereditary or not?" Speaking of this, Feng Qianhou's face was serious, and his eyes were aggressive.
"If I follow my heart, of course I don't want to give them hereditary, if twenty acres of Yongye land are passed on to the three sons, each of them is only ten acres, and I know with my feet that they will definitely annex the land, at least another ten acres, right?"
"So that's a problem, and if someone in the court asks about it, it's hard for you to say. Let's still be the same! Officials are awarded Yongye Tian according to their ranks, and the reform of the camp field is a long way to go, and its fundamental core matter is not something that we can pry into now! Feng Qianhou raised his head and sighed......
There were more than a dozen officials and staff members of the Zhang clan in Yanzhou who served in the state government and marshal's mansion, and they went to Zhang Kuangtu's mansion one after another in the afternoon of the same day to ask about countermeasures. In addition to the Gao family's land and slave tenants, followed by the Zhang family and the Liu family, the head of the Zhang family is Zhang Kuangtu, so naturally this matter cannot be done lightly.
"If according to the edict of the central government at the beginning of the year, more than half of our family's land and tenants will be divided, if the chapter inspection is really handled in accordance with this, how can it be good? I hope Uncle Clan has an idea! "The first to speak was Zhang Congli, who joined the army of the state government secretary, he was more than forty years old, and he was in charge of Jinliang, boats, cars, houses, crafts, etc., and his subordinates had a number of Zuo Shi.
"Don't come to my house if you have nothing to do, so as not to tell the truth, I just want to say one thing here, the kid surnamed Zhang is just the right to know the state affairs, as long as we drag it out, it will be over, what are you anxious about? Let's all go back! "Since the family came, Zhang Kuangtu is not good, but he doesn't want to say more.
finally drove everyone away, and soon came again, there was Gao Yunwen, the former brother of Gao Yunquan, and Liu Jinghui, the head of the Liu family, these two people were obviously in the lead, and there was a large group behind them, all of whom were local households, and some clansmen were small officials in the state government.
"I said don't come, but you still come here, think I'm not in enough trouble now?" Zhang Kuangtu said angrily.
"Where, where? Mrs. Zhang is sick now, isn't it appropriate for us to come to visit the patient? Gao Yunwen said with a strange smile.
Zhang Kuangtu was angry, left the rest of the people in the guest hall, and only invited Gao Yunwen and Liu Jinghui to sit in the inner room, and said: "Behind the inspection of the chapter is the current emperor, we can't be hard-hit, we must be careful, if we can find a way to drag it over, it is the best." ”
"Huh! What if not? I heard that the attitude of this surname Zhang is very resolute, and he is leading troops to take office, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to do. My family's nephew Shaoji was beheaded in Tokyo, it was thanks to this person, if Zhang Gong didn't deal with it early, I was afraid that it would be difficult to have a good result, and now we can't rely on others, so we can only come to you. Gao Yunwen instigated with a smile.
"What Brother Gao Shi said is very true, Zhang Gong should think twice! Why don't you let my nephews Liu Xiansheng and Zhang Quanxu go to the county for a trip? Liu Jinghui asked tentatively.
"They can't go, it's too conspicuous! Once something happens, Zhang Guangren will know how to do it. There is a saying: the extremes of things must be opposed! As a last resort, you must not take risks, you must be completely sure. If he insists on going his own way and causing some great disaster, it has nothing to do with us, can you two understand? Zhang Kuangtu pondered for a moment, stared at the two of them sharply and said.
"With Zhang Gong's words, we are relieved and will visit another day! Leave! Gao and Liu glanced at each other, and at the same time got up and retreated.
