"Huh? Most of them are the private fields of the family?! Xiang Zhuang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, this situation was really a bit unexpected by him, it stands to reason that the Western Chu State was destroyed after only five years, and the Great Chu was just established as a country, and the phenomenon of land annexation could not be so serious?
At that moment, Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Ziyi, why is this happening?" ”
Xiang He sighed and replied: "The first king and Liu Bang attacked for five years, costing countless money and grain, plus the six counties of Jiangbei were repeatedly harassed by the Liang army, and the people had no grain to collect, so the four counties of Jiangdong had extremely heavy land endowments, and the people could not afford to pay the land endowment, so they could only borrow grain from the family scholars, and if they couldn't pay the borrowed grain, they could only mortgage the land property, and after a few years, it became like this." ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, it seems that it is still caused by the war, although Jiangdong has not directly suffered from the war, but it has also been affected by the war.
After pondering for a long time, Xiang Zhuang finally said: "Ziyi, this situation must be stopped!" ”
Jiangdong's land annexation is so serious, it is obviously not possible, in history, there is no dynasty with serious land annexation that will not perish, no matter how strong it is, it is useless!
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, when Chongzhen, a large amount of land was annexed to the name of the scholar clan (a scholar with a meritorious name), and these scholars did not have to pay taxes, and finally the treasury was so poor that the soldiers had no food and no salary, and finally the Ming Dynasty died in the hands of the displaced people, and what kind of climate could the displaced people become? In the end, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was cheapened in vain, which is really embarrassing.
Xiang Zhuang didn't want the Great Chu or the future Great Chu Empire to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Empire.
Xiang He didn't understand what Xiang Zhuang meant for a while, and asked, "Great King, do you mean to curb the private land of the family and the family?" This situation has actually been stopped, and since the king succeeded to the throne and reduced the tax rate to 15 taxes, the yeoman farmers in Jiangdong have enough to support themselves. ”
"No, that's not what the widow said." Xiang Zhuang shook his head.
Land annexation is obviously unstoppable, even Xiang Zhuang is a traverser, familiar with the rise and fall of many feudal dynasties, but he still can't put an end to the occurrence of land annexation, this is basically unsolvable, Xiang Zhuang only needs to consider that no matter how the land is annexed, the tax source of the treasury will not be lost, this is fundamental!
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, if the scholars also paid the endowment, how could the country perish?
If the Tu tribe, who own a large amount of land and have more than one million in number, also pay taxes, how can the Ming treasury be so poor? How did the emperor and empress need to wear cloth clothes? Where does Zhu Youzhen need to make a relationship with his courtiers and relatives of the emperor? As a result, Zhu Youzhen's face was only turned into a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and it was not enough to reward the soldiers and civilians defending the city, and as a result, Beijing City was directly broken by the displaced people, Zhu Youzhen committed suicide, and the Ming Empire was over.
When Xiang Zhuang was silent to himself, Xiang He suddenly said: "King, the minister has a way. ”
Xiang Zhuang subconsciously asked, "What way?" ”
Xiang He said: "After the autumn harvest, it is time to enter the agricultural slack season, and the strong men of the counties and counties should also serve the Yao service, and the minister thinks that it is better to concentrate the labor of the strong men of several counties to reclaim a large amount of wasteland along the Guquze (Taihu Lake) and the Yangtze River, and attract tenant farmers from all counties and counties to come to cultivate at low prices, then the dilemma of too little official land and insufficient land can be easily solved. ”
Today's Jiangdong is far from saturated with population density, and there is still a lot of wasteland near Taihu Lake that can be reclaimed.
"That's a good idea." Xiang Zhuang nodded, then changed his words, and then said, "But the newly cultivated fields are all raw fields, and the yield is only afraid that it will not be too high. Especially this year, I thought that the autumn grain harvest situation would improve, and I didn't want to be so embarrassed. ”…,
Xiang He was silent, he really couldn't think of a solution to this.
Xiang Zhuang suddenly said: "Ziyi, I plan to implement the new "Tian Fu Law", and it will be implemented this year, the fifteen taxes and one Tian Fu will remain unchanged, but the object of tax must be expanded to the land of the whole country, whether it is the Shengdou small people, the scholars or the wealthy families, or even the royal family, they must be paid according to the law, and those who resist the law will not be tolerated." ”
"This ......," Xiang He frowned, "King, is this a bit too much?" ”
He didn't have to think about it to guess that once the new "Tian Fu Law" was implemented, it would inevitably attract the opposition of the family and the Shi clan, because almost all the Shi clan owned a large amount of land, and the family was even more so.
In the situation that the "Law of the Household Qi Min" has just been promulgated, and the Jiangdong clan has been offended all over again, Xiang He does not think that now is a good time to offend the family and the Shi clan, once the family, the Shi clan, and the clan join forces to resist the royal power, then the situation will be serious, and if it is not good, Dachu will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe.
Xiang Zhuang also felt that the matter was very important, and immediately sent someone to find Bai Lixian.
After listening to what happened, Bai Lixian shook the feather fan and muttered for a long time and said, "King, it's not impossible to do this. ”
"Military advisor, aren't you ......" Xiang He was in a hurry, but was stopped by Xiang Zhuang when he was about to refute, and then Xiang Zhuang turned to Bai Lixian and said, "Ziliang, what should I do about this?" ”
Bai Lixian smiled slightly, looked at Xiang and said: "What worries Yin the most is that once the new "Tian Fu Law" is implemented, the clans, scholars and clans will join forces to resist the law and challenge the royal power, it is not difficult to break this situation, first of all, gather the clan strong men of each county to serve in Yao, or build a city, or reclaim the famine, so that the clans in each county will not be able to make trouble. ”
Xiang Zhuang nodded and said: "Ziyi has already told the widow about this matter just now, let these clan strongmen go to Gu Quze and go to the Wujiang River to open up wasteland, and the treasury can also increase an additional income." ”
The clan warriors in all counties have gone to Gu Districtze and Wujiang to open up wasteland, and those clan elders have smelled the smell and want to make a move, but they have no strong men under them, what else can they make a fuss? As for the clan strongmen concentrated in the counties of Guquze and Wujiang, of course, they have to implement militarized management, and no one will take the lead, so there will be no accidents.
Bai Lixian nodded, and then said: "Secondly, the king has to issue another edict to greatly increase Shiqing Shixun's income in the name of rewarding meritorious officials, at least return the amount of land collected from Shiqing Shixun to them, so that Shiqing Shixun's interests are not harmed, and they will not react jī." ”
The Shiqing Shixun mentioned by Bailixian is actually the old Chu family, such as Shusun Guan, Qu Yi, Wu Qi, etc., although the number of these old Chu families is not much, only a dozen, but the influence in Jiangdong is very great, don't look at them have no military power, but as long as they ascend and shout, there will definitely be people who raise troops to respond.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to curry favor with the old Chu clan.
Bai Lixian paused, and then continued: "In the end, there are only the scholars who migrated to Jiangdong from the six counties of Jiangbei, this part of the scholar clan is not like Shiqing Shixun who is in a high position, and he does not have much influence in the army, but he is better than the huge number, and the four counties of Jiangdong also have thousands of scholars, once the group resists, it is still not to be underestimated." ”
Xiang He nodded again and again, thinking deeply: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, most of the county orders, county officials, and many subordinate officials of the four counties and fifty-six counties in Jiangdong are served by the children of the scholar clan, once the new law angers the scholar clan, they don't have to openly resist the new law, but just instruct the children of the scholar clan to abandon the official and go into hiding, and the bureau will not be able to clean it up." ”
Xiang Zhuang was shocked: "This is indeed a hidden danger. ”
Imagine, once most of the county orders, county officials, and subordinate officials of the fifty-six counties resigned, wouldn't the political situation of the entire Chu State be chaotic?
Bai Lixian smiled slightly, and then said: "Therefore, before the implementation of the Xintian Law, we must first implement the Shinong Industry and Commerce Course, and reserve enough talents for the country. ”
Xiang He said confusedly: "Military Division, Shinong Industry and Commerce Class? ”…,
Bai Lixian waved his hand, took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Zhuang's eyes lit up after reading it, and then handed the scroll to Xiang He, Xiang He saw that his expression moved slightly at the end, and he read in a low voice: "All the children of Chu State, regardless of Shinong and industry, can participate in the national examination?" Those who pass the test will be awarded the title of duke? ”
Xiang Zhuang bowed his head slightly, although the title of duke is humble, and the annual withdrawal of rice from the treasury is negligible, but for many children from poor families who were born in agriculture, industry, and business, once they have the title, just like the show of later generations has fame, and they have the qualification to be an official, which is the most important thing.
There is no doubt that the implementation of the "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce Class" can indeed greatly eliminate the hidden danger of the children of the Shi clan boycotting their jobs.
This is because, in addition to the children of the family and the scholar family, there are also many scholars among the children of farmers, workers and merchants in Jiangdong, especially the children of merchants, because the family is well-off and has the opportunity to study, but since Wei Ying's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, the status of businessmen has deteriorated, and now, it is basically impossible for the children of merchants to come out.
Once the "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce Class" is implemented, the status of the family will not be greatly threatened, and it is estimated that there will be no reaction, and the majority of the Shi clan will definitely oppose it, but Xiang Zhuang was originally prepared to deal with them, so there is no need to scruple anymore, and as for the children of the poor families such as farmers, industrialists, and merchants, they will definitely fully support the implementation of the new law.
In this way, the new law has its first staunch supporters!
Whenever the law is changed, while eradicating the old ones who have immediate benefits, it is also necessary to support the new interest stratum, otherwise, the new law will not last long at all.
The reason why Wei Ying's reform was successful was that he supported a large number of emerging landlords in the process of changing the law, so in the end, even if Wei Ying died, the new law was not abolished, and the reason why Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng's reform failed was because they did not support the interest groups closely related to the new law, and as a result, the law was abolished.
