Chapter Forty-Seven: Empty Talk Misleads the Country
"This... it seems..." Lin Xishui hesitated for a moment, "Miss Su, what do you think?" ”
Su Ke's words seemed to be opened all of a sudden, and he said endlessly: "I think that many big landlords and gentry have annexed a lot of land, resulting in the common people not having land to plant, and the state can forcibly collect the land and then distribute it to the people, so that everyone has land to plant, and no one will starve." ”
"If the common people cannot afford to grow land, the government will give the peasants loans and grain loans, and take two or three cents of interest every six months, and return them with the summer and autumn taxes respectively, and the landlords will have no way to exploit the common people."
The more Su Ke said, the more excited he became, "There is also the most important conscription, which can be changed to compulsory conscription to be borne by government employees, and those who are unwilling to serve on errand pay a certain amount of money according to the level of wealth and poverty, which is called exemption money." The bureaucratic landlords were no exception. ”
"Every big family has many slaves and maids, and this should be forbidden, after all, everyone has the desire to pursue their own happiness!"
Lin Xishui was speechless for a while, although these methods seem to be of great benefit to the people, but once they are implemented? It doesn't have to be what it turns out to be.
Anyway, he was sure that if he really changed it in the way of this chick, the Great Cloud Dynasty would definitely be chaotic.
Empty talk is misleading.
She suddenly found that Lin Xishui hadn't spoken for a long time, "Hey, why are you just looking at me and not talking?" ”
Lin Xishui waved his hand and said with a lack of interest: "Miss Su, these things are not for ordinary people like me to worry about. ”
Su Ke seemed to have been poured cold water, and the flame that had just ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished.
She showed a look of extreme disappointment in her eyes, shook her head, and stood up, "Originally, I thought that the person who could write such a shocking poem as Mulan Poem would be such a talent, but now it seems that he is just a selfish villain." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
, Lao Tzu was despised by a chick!
Still an ancient chick!
This chick is still an ugly-looking talented girl!
Well, in fact, what Lin Xishui cares about most is the last point.
As a modern person, Lao Tzu knows Marxism, Grandpa Mao Thought, Grandpa Deng Theory, the three representatives headed by Grandpa Jiang, the Eight Honors and Eight Shames, and the Thought of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.
The hormones in Lin Xishui's whole body swelled instantly.
If you are so ugly, you dare to despise Lao Tzu, today you will open your eyes and know what is called the frog at the bottom of the well!
"Stop!"
Su Ke stopped, turned his head and looked at him coldly, "Young Master Lin, do you have anything else?" ”
If her tone was as warm as spring just now, now it is as cold as winter.
It seems that in this chick's heart, he has been nailed to the pillar of shame of contempt.
"The points you just said are just rhetoric, if the country really implements it according to your method, hmph, just wait for the broad masses of the people to rebel!"
Su Ke was stunned when he heard this, his face was first surprised, and then full of displeasure, but he didn't immediately refute it.
She returned to the chair opposite Lin Xishui and sat down, and said in an unkind tone: "Since Lin Gongzi criticized the law of governing the country that I said is useless, there must be a good reason, the little woman is here to listen." ”
Lin Xishui looked at Su Ke with a look of asking about the guilt of the teacher, how could there be any hint of listening, the literati deserve to be literati, and they are so literary when they are angry.
"Since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you."
"Okay, the little girl has been taught."
Lin Xishui scratched his head, "What did you say in the first article just now?" ”
Su Ke: "...
She now has an urge to scold in her heart, but her reason keeps telling herself, calm down, you must be calm!
Su Ke forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "What I'm talking about is that the state can forcibly confiscate the land and then distribute it to the people." She said this almost through gritted teeth.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Lin Xishui asked rhetorically: "The state forcibly expropriates land, how can it be compulsory?" Did the landlord cut off his head without handing over the land? ”
"Of course not, first of all, the state can prohibit the sale of land, where the land exceeds a certain number of acres, the excess must be distributed to the clan neighbors, of course, the court can give corresponding compensation."
Lin Xishui sneered: "Su Da Cainu, you forgot the most important point, in the minds of all the people, land is the most important, especially those landlords, you let them take out the land and divide it, what is the difference between their lives?" In addition, why do some people sell their land? A lot of it was because they couldn't survive anymore, so they sold their land for food! ”
"You're not right!" Su Ke argued: "Many people's land is forcibly bought by landlords!" ”
"I don't deny that there is such a possibility, but you can't generalize, let's leave this aside for the time being, let me ask you, if those landlords know that the court wants to divide his land, and he doesn't want to divide it, then what will he do?"
Su Ke said disapprovingly: "Even if he resists, can he ever resist a country?" ”
"Of course a landlord can't, but have you ever heard of a saying that water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat?"
Su Ke's face changed, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"What I mean is simple, the state can suppress one landlord, but all the landlords come out to resist, so what will become of the Great Cloud Dynasty?"
Seeing that Su Ke fell into deep thought, Lin Xishui continued: "There are also government loans and grain loans to farmers, your original intention is good, I hope the people will not be exploited, have you ever thought about it, if in the implementation process, local officials forcibly let the people borrow from the government, and raise the interest at will, can the people resist?" ”
"There is also money for exemption from servitude, I know that you want the people to be freed from servitude, so that they will have time to farm, but the rural residents who originally took turns to serve as slaves returned to their hometowns to farm, and the people who enjoyed the privilege of exemption from labor also had to pay silver? What if he has no money? If you do this, it turns out that those landlords should not go to labor or not go to labor, and the status quo of the people not only did not change, but on the contrary, they paid an extra sum of silver. ”
Lin Xishui took a long breath, and finally finished speaking, tired Lao Tzu, I haven't said such a lofty topic for a long time, I really admire myself.
If there was a mirror now, he would definitely knock one to himself.
At this time, the ruthlessness in Su Ke's body had completely disappeared, and he was replaced by a head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'm thirsty to death after saying so many things, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water. Lin Xishui picked up the empty teapot on the table.
"Ahh Su Ke suddenly had a wicked smile on his face, "Young Master Lin, didn't you just say that it's none of your business?" Why do you say so much? ”
it, I've been beaten by this chick's agitation.
Lin Xishui simply pretended to be stupid and patted the teapot in his hand, "Do you drink water?" ”
