Chapter 106: Chidao Idea (I)
(It's a shock, I thought that the research on Chidao was just me, but I didn't expect that there would be clips of horse-drawn trains in the bullets.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And a recent book I read "Dominating the World" also has related ideas, and I'm very depressed. But the chapters that have been written, it is impossible to delete the large paragraphs, and the gallop is a very important thing that I have carefully arranged, which is related to the future dominance of the world. I thought that kindness made people remove the locomotive, and it was a big joke for the eunuchs to pull the carriages on the tracks with ropes, but they never thought that there were also horse-drawn trains in foreign countries. It's me who is lonely and unheard, and I am losing. However, Chidao is really a great initiative of the Qin Dynasty, and interested book friends can study it, which is much more advanced than those railcars in Britain and the United States. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, sometimes you have to marvel that the brains of the ancients are not smaller than those of modern people. Depressed, I asked for a collection and recommended it...... )
More than 1,000 students below shook their heads, too, most of these students were poor, and they signed up for Royal Roads University only after they were free of tuition, food and lodging. If there are those who are born for the Son of Heaven, there are also them, but there are not many. Most of the students are from poor families, and those who are scholars from rich and noble families disdain to learn any strange skills and tricks, and they want to hold the Analects and say what "half of the Analects govern the world", which is simply living in a dream.
No one can deny that Confucianism has a positive effect on society. But if you are afraid of everything, excessive worship will backfire. The consequence of superstitious Confucianism is that the literati have misled the country. The fate of the Song Dynasty is still vivid.
In the 100 years since the founding of Dashun, the number of poor people has been increasing, and the root cause lies in the land. The land of the Great Shun Dynasty has been increasing, but the land controlled by the imperial court is getting smaller and smaller.
This is all because the Great Shun Dynasty implemented the Juntian system, which was originally excellent. It affirms the ownership and possession of land, reduces disputes over land and property, and facilitates the reclamation of ownerless wasteland, thus playing a positive role in the restoration and development of agricultural production.
The implementation of the uniform land system, and the new rent adjustment associated with it, have been reduced compared with the previous one, and the implementation of the three-long system (i.e., five families and one neighbor chief, five neighbors and one mile long, and five li and one party leader). Its duties were to inspect the household register, supervise farming, collect rents, and levy conscription and military service. The three chiefs enjoy certain preferential treatment and may be exempted from official service by one to three people. The three-long system is also another peak in the development of the clan system), which is conducive to the dependent peasants to get rid of the control of the powerful clan and transform into a state household, so that the number of self-cultivated small farmers controlled by the government has greatly increased, the source of servitude has been ensured, and the recognition of the people of Dashun to the imperial court has been strengthened.
The law of Dashun Chaotian clearly stipulates: "Middle-aged men and Ding men over the age of 18 shall each receive 80 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field." Forty acres of land for old men and disabled people, and thirty acres for widows and concubines; If these people are the heads of households, each of them will receive 20 acres of Yongye land and 30 acres of land. Miscellaneous households receive land like the people. The industrial and commercial households, and the official households, received half of the land of the people. Taoist priests and monks gave 30 acres of land, and nuns and female crowns gave 20 acres of land. In addition, ordinary women, tribesmen, and slaves and maids were not allowed to farm.
The ministry officials were reduced from the first grade to the eighth and ninth grades, and the sixty hectares of Yongye Tian were reduced to two hectares. Loose officials of five grades or above are subject to the same ministry of Yongye Tian. In addition, bureaucrats and government offices at all levels also receive different amounts of land and public land, with the rent of the land being used as a supplement to the bureaucracy's income, and the rent of the public land being used as the cost of the government. The ownership of these two types of land is vested in the state.
The aristocratic bureaucrats' Yongye Tian and Zhitian were free to sell. If the people are displaced and cannot afford to be buried, they are allowed to sell the eternal field. Those who move to wide townships where there are few people and have more land and sell them as houses and residences are allowed to sell their land. The amount of land purchased shall not exceed the statutory amount to which the person shall share. ”
But at this time and at that time, the Juntian system was suitable for the first 20 years of the founding of the Great Shun Dynasty, not for the next few hundred years. With the improvement of the productivity and the development of the commodity economy in the Dashun Dynasty, land annexation was unprecedentedly prevalent, and public land was continuously converted into private land through various means, and the fields controlled by the imperial court became increasingly scarce, and the imperial court had no land to grant land. At the same time, the imperial court expropriated the peasants who had been granted land, and the peasants could not bear it, or fled one after another, or sold their land and turned to the landlords as tenant farmers. In the past, the agricultural tax of the Dashun Dynasty was ten and three, which seemed to be a lot, and it was also very reasonable. But there are not many farmers who really have land, and they get very little benefit. The real pressure was on the tenants, who had to pay not only the taxes of the imperial court, but also the tenants' rents. There were only about 200 catties of grain in one acre of land, but as much as sixty percent had to be handed over. However, the imperial court and the tenant rent are all fixed rents, and the harvest year is fine, but if it is a disaster year, what will the tenants pay for rent? Don't look at the current Dashun Dynasty seems to be very peaceful, in fact, the root of the contradiction has long been buried and is waiting to ferment. If there is no insight and courage to guide it, I am afraid that another dynasty that will drown in the peasant uprising will be Dashun.
In addition, Dashun did not have a population policy, and when the country was founded, the population was only more than 20 million households, and the total number was only 60 or 70 million. But by the Hongxiang period, the population had surged to more than 30 million and nearly 40 million households, and the population was more than 100 million. This is still a registered population, not a place where the population is hidden.
With more people and less land, coupled with the fact that land annexation is so serious, social contradictions are unprecedentedly prominent. Most of these poor children under the podium came from this background. Forced to make a living, they went to Chang'an City and worked everywhere. If a kind-hearted craftsman takes him in and takes him as an apprentice, it can be regarded as having a bite to eat. But being an apprentice, serving the master for a hundred years and taking care of the master's family, is not very comfortable.
And these people in the hall are not very lucky, no one wants them to work, so they come to Royal Roads University to eat. If you can learn a skill, it is even better. You call these people, where do you have any knowledge, and what does it mean to gallop? Even if it is a post road, they, ordinary people, dare not go. On weekdays, they only walk through the official road.
Seeing that no one answered, Lu Chengqi drew two tracks on the blackboard, both paved with sleepers. Similar to modern train tracks, but much larger, just big enough for a carriage to get stuck in.
As soon as this picture is drawn, even if Lu Chengqi's painting is not good, he can still see a rough idea. At this time, a student in the hall suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Something, I've seen it! ”
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he turned around and said in surprise: "Have you seen it?" ”
The student had a square face, dark skin, and simple eyes. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am from Henan, and there are more of these things in our mountains." The old people in the village often say that this is something left by Qin Shi Huang, but after such a long time, it is a little rotten......" As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't seem to be very confident.
Lu Chengqi said excitedly: "That's right, it was left by Qin Shi Huang, Henan, and the place is also right." Tell me again, do you know what this thing is for? ”
The student stammered and didn't speak very fluently. But no one laughed at him, after all, Lu Chengqi, the son of heaven, was asking him, and it was too late for others to envy him, where would he laugh?
After saying such a paragraph, the student's sentence was much smoother, and he replied: "Your Majesty, I am just a mountain person, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't survive in the mountains, I wouldn't have come to Chang'an City." We can't even name this thing, and now I know it's called Chidao, and I don't know what it's used for......"
Lu Chengqi was slightly disappointed, but he immediately said: "You can know so much, it's already good, sit down." I will say that this chidao was invented during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, and its uses are extremely diverse. During the Qin Dynasty, why was the Qin army invincible? It's all because they have this gallop! During the Qin Dynasty, there was no shortage of horses, and there were countless chariots and carriages, even if we were in the Dashun Dynasty. As soon as their carriages and chariots stuck on this gallop road, they were able to gallop. It is not a problem to travel thousands of miles in a day, and even more, you can rush from Chang'an City to Youzhou City in one day and one night, during which you can travel thousands of two hundred miles, such as flying. ”
Hearing this, not only the students in the classroom, but even Yang Daoqi, Shen Kuo, Su Song, and Tang Xun who were listening to the class were stunned. The students don't know about this speed, but they do! If the Great Shun Dynasty can reach this speed, wouldn't the government decree be unimpeded, and even a rebellion would not be able to arise?
