Since that banquet, Wei Shuo has not appeared in public in Zhuqi County for a long time, and he has been hiding in the county government to discuss with Liangqiu about the resettlement of displaced people. Recently, with the invasion of Xuzhou by the Hu people, a large number of people fled from the west and north to Zhuqi County, and now there are more than 30,000 displaced people gathered in Zhuqi County.

When Wei Shuo did not come, except for some of these displaced people who were forcibly taken into slavery and subordinates by the local tyrants, the vast majority of them were still stranded in Zhuqi County waiting for government relief.

"Lord Wei, to this day, there is still a surplus of food needed to help the victims in this county, but those displaced people have been idle, and the official is worried that after a long time, it will be inappropriate for everyone to slack off."

After listening to Liang Qiu's words, Wei Shuo thought so. He knew that pacifying the displaced people was not simply a matter of distributing some food, but the most important thing was to find some work for the displaced people, and it was best to give each family some land, so that the displaced people would settle down in the local area.

"Lord Liang, how much land is there in Zhuqi County that can be allocated now?"

Wei Shuo obviously wanted to follow the path that the founders of all dynasties and dynasties had walked -- the people divided the land, and land was the most important means of production in feudal society, and the amount of land owned by the common people was related to whether a dynasty could be stable and long-lasting.

"Where is there any field to be divided? More than 90% of the land in the county is in the hands of the local heroes, and the wasteland reclaimed during the Taikang period has become the private land of the family and the powerful to this day. ”

"What about Tuntian? If Wei remembers correctly, Cao Cao, the former Emperor Wudi, reclaimed a large number of tuntian, is it all gone? Wei Shuo did not know much about the land system of this period, and he only remembered that Cao Cao had implemented Tuntian on a large scale in the north, and then relied on Tuntian soldiers to unify northern China.

"The tuntian system has long collapsed, since the first year of Xianxi, the imperial court issued an order to abolish the mintun that existed in name only, although the Bingtun still exists in a small part of the northern border areas, but the role is not much. Soon after the abolition of the tuntian system, Emperor Wu issued an order to implement the land occupation system. As a grassroots administrative official, Liang Qiu was quite familiar with the various policies implemented by the imperial court, which just made up for Wei Shuo's rustiness in this regard.

"Occupy the land? What is that system? ”

Speaking of the land occupation system, Liang Qiu suddenly paused, and I don't know whether to say it directly, after all, he is the beneficiary of the land occupation system. According to the regulations of the order of occupying the land, the officials of the rank and the lowly occupy the land and the shade of the guests: the higher the official quality, the more land they receive, and after receiving the land, they often receive but do not return it. To put it bluntly, the occupation system is to protect the interests of the wealthy families.

"Is it ...... to occupy the land" Liang Qiu hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth, after all, such a secret could not be hidden for long, so he gritted his teeth and continued: "The land occupation system is a land policy implemented by the imperial court to encourage the common people to reclaim wasteland after the collapse of the tuntian system. Although he acknowledged that the wasteland reclaimed by the common people belonged to the common people, he did not recover the land that had been over-occupied by the family officials. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo frowned, and he said in disbelief: "Liang County Order, is this the land occupation system implemented by the imperial court?" This system of land occupation not only allowed the family to occupy the old excess land, but also provided convenience for those who did not occupy or occupied less land in accordance with the law! ”

"No wonder since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the gate valve family has become more and more arrogant, and the roots are all in this land occupation system. Didn't the imperial court know? In this way, not only was the original land not touched, but because of the combination of economic and political privileges, they were able to participate in the new land distribution caused by the promulgation of the land occupation decree again. ”

At this moment, Wei Shuo finally understood why gate valve politics was so prevalent during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and what kind of economic foundation determined what kind of superstructure.

Every change of dynasty is accompanied by a new round of land redistribution, and with the collapse of the tuntian system in the Wei and Jin dynasties, a new land system began to be implemented in the land of China, which is the land occupation system promulgated and implemented by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. Judging from the content of the land occupation system, it is a land system that not only guarantees government revenue, but also protects the privileges of the nobles.

The core spirit of the land occupation system is not to limit the privileges of the bureaucracy, but to confirm and protect the fait accompli that they have occupied a large amount of land and hukou.

It can be said that the land occupation system is the economic basis for the Western Jin Dynasty to implement the family gate lord politics, and it is precisely because of the popularity of the land occupation system that a large number of ordinary people have become the slaves and subordinates of the wealthy families.

After Liang Qiu's repeated explanations, Wei Shuo finally figured out the difference between the tuntian system and the land occupation system. However, in Wei Shuo's view, neither the tuntian system nor the land occupation system is the ideal land system, and the fact that the tuntian system can collapse in just a few decades shows that it has irreparable defects.

In fact, Wei Shuo didn't know that the biggest limitation of the tuntian system was that the people involved in the tuntian had no personal freedom, and they were equivalent to tenant farmers in the imperial court. The imperial court leased the land to the landless poor and collected a certain annual tax. However, because Tuntian is compulsory, the tax collected by the imperial court is not the same, and the tax is even as high as eighty percent in the later period!

It is precisely because of the arbitrariness and coercion of the tuntian system that a large number of tuntian people in various localities have fled one after another because they could not bear the exploitation. Those who fled would rather be slaves and subordinates of the family than to be under the hands of the imperial court.

In addition to the tuntian system and the land occupation system, Wei Shuo knew the land system best than the uniform land system, which was a new land system that emerged during the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was more advanced than the first two types of land systems in that the land equalization system distributed land according to population. Because the land belongs to the common people themselves, it greatly mobilizes the common people's enthusiasm for production.

When it comes to the Juntian system, we have to mention the government military system, the two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and the fall of the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty is not unrelated to the collapse of the Juntian system and the government military system. Although the Juntian system is good, Wei Shuo is worried that proposing the Juntian system now will attract fierce opposition from all sides.

In Wei's view, neither the tuntian system nor the land occupation system is suitable for today's situation, and now there is a new land system in the heart, called the uniform land system. Although Wei has the intention to implement this good law, I don't know if you have the courage to follow a certain one? ”

"Lord, Qiu Bucai, I wish the staff to follow."

As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, before the others could react, Liang Qiu actually knelt on the ground first and showed his loyalty. Liang Qiu directly admitted that Wei Shuo was his lord, and it was deliberate. Liangqiu himself was also from a poor family, but he took the road of the family at that time, and he was lucky enough to get the position of the county magistrate of Zhuqi County, which had just been badly damaged at that time.

Over the years, Liang Qiu has always been a puppet of the local heroes, and before he met Wei Shuo, he was extremely aggrieved as a county commander. Now that he sees that the world is about to be in chaos, he thinks that he is not a hero who competes for the world, and the best way is to choose a virtuous lord to assist. And Wei Shuo is the person he thinks can follow, now that the opportunity has come, how can he not hurry up and express his attitude?

As soon as Liang Qiu was interrupted, the others also reacted, only to see Zhang Erlang and Cao Hong also kneeling on the ground. Zhang Erlang also shouted loudly: "Brother Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it, I will definitely be on your side." If anyone dares to disobey you, I will cut off his head, little brother. ”

Although Cao Hong is not as direct as Zhang Erlang, he also said earnestly: "Since Cao followed the adult, he vowed to find a way to work for the benefit of all the people, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?" If you have any difficulties, you may wish to say it directly, so that everyone can discuss it together. ”

"Good! Wei Mou He De how can he be treated, if he succeeds in his hegemony in the future, he will live up to your feelings today! Wei Shuo said with an excited face: "Let's start our hegemony with Juntian Ling!" ”

"Juntian, as the name suggests, is to break the monopoly of the family on the land in the world, and distribute the land in their hands to the common people who have no land in the world according to the method of dictating the land."

"Junda system? By dictation field? ”

After listening to Wei Shuo's words, Zhang Erlang was nothing, Liang Qiu and Cao Hong didn't know what they had thought, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and the two trembling sweats were like pulp. The two of them could see from Wei Shuo's few words that Wei Shuo was going to dig up the roots of the family! It is conceivable that once the family discovers the Juntian system, they will definitely launch a crazy revenge on Wei Shuo.
