Chapter 45: The Land Dispute (3)

"This time the inventory and measurement of the land, I decided to open a new land office, this house is specially set up for the inventory of the land, not among the three princes and nine kings, directly under me, responsible for the inventory and measurement of the land. When the land matter was over, the government was immediately abolished. What do you think? ”

Originally, the establishment of a new government was tantamount to changing the official system, which was a major event. But Hu Hai then said that it was only set up temporarily, and it was not among the three princes and nine secretaries, and it would be removed afterwards, so of course there was no problem. What's more, with this government, you can better clarify where your responsibilities lie.

And the idea of Huhai's land government naturally came from the Ministry of Land and Resources in later generations. Now is not the time to reform the official system, the Ministry of Land and Resources will definitely have it behind, but whether the Land and Resources Government will withdraw or not depends on the situation, and Hu Hai has used the strategy of delaying the army.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Hmm. This land government wants to let Feng Lao Aiqing temporarily take over and coordinate the land inventory and measurement of my Daqin counties. And Lao Zongzheng and Zhang Aiqing assisted from the side. Are the three Aiqing willing to bear this burden to share my worries? ”

Hu Hai chose Feng Quji, Ying Teng and Zhang Han to cooperate in charge of this inventory and measurement of land, he has his own reasons, Feng Quji is the right prime minister, he is highly respected, upright, can be said to be the best candidate.

And Ying Teng is Zongzheng, representing the Great Qin Ying clan, and those who naturally dare to obstruct it will have to weigh it; And Zhang Han is his confidant, who holds both the positions of Lang Zhongling and Shaofu, and happens to be involved in this matter as his own representative, and he can understand and deal with what happens at any time.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Feng Quji, Ying Teng immediately agreed, not to mention Zhang Han.

"You Aiqing also have different opinions?"

Hearing that the three of them responded very simply, Hu Hai asked again.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Feng Quji is the prime minister, although he is on the right, but he is also one of the first hundred officials; Ying Teng is the head of the Zongzheng clan, and Zhang Han has two positions, one person is responsible for two secretaries, and now he is even hotter, the emperor's henchman.

Since these three people have all responded to each other, and the most important thing is that the important ministers in the hall have seen through the emperor's deeper thoughts from the three people selected by the emperor, naturally no one will oppose it without opening their eyes.

"Well, good! Then the land government immediately drafted a decree to issue it, and the four governments of the Imperial History Mansion, the Zhisu Nei History Mansion, the Shaofu Mansion, and the Tingwei Mansion fully cooperated with the land government to check and measure the land, and the people and things needed by the land government could be transferred from the four prefectures at will. What do you think? ”

The four prefectures of the Imperial History Mansion, the Zhisu Nei History Mansion, the Shaofu Mansion, and the Tingwei Mansion were also considered to cooperate with Hu Hai. The imperial history is the supervision system of later generations, and the same is true for Daqin, and the inventory of land naturally needs to be supervised;

Li Si has just said that he is in charge of these things, and of course he should also be involved;

Shaofu can be said to be the only one Hu Hai understands about the responsibilities of Jiuqing, because Zhang Han is the person who began to pay attention to the people who want to be subdued when he was on his eastern tour, so of course the Shaofu who is in charge of the taxes of Daqin cannot be less;

Tingwei is the minister of public security in later generations, and there will naturally be friction and conflict in this inventory and measurement of land, and it will definitely be much easier to carry out with the people of the law enforcement agency of Tingwei's mansion.

Hu Hai thought about the land after killing Zhao Gao, although he said tonight that he was only clear about the responsibilities of the five prefectures in Jiuqing, but it happened that these five mansions could be used, of course, he couldn't let it go.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

These important ministers in the hall know better than Hu Hai the responsibilities of these four prefectures. And the emperor's arrangement of these four prefectures to cooperate is also just right, and naturally no one will have any opinions on these important ministers.

"Well, since all the ministers have no opinions, then it's settled. I would like to talk about my arrangements for this inventory and land survey. ”

Hu Hai picked up the teacup on the long desk and took a sip before he said slowly,

"In this land inventory, I intend to take Nanyang, Yingchuan, Hanoi, Dongjun, Xuejun, Langxie and other counties as the line, and the counties south of these six counties can not be taken care of in terms of the current situation of Daqin, and we will discuss it later.

The counties north of these six counties, including these six counties, I hope that within three years the land government will complete the inventory and measurement, and make sure that all the nobles, families, wealthy families, ministers of the court, and all the people of the counties have all the fields.

All fields that have been concealed or encroached upon shall be registered for inspection. In this inventory and measurement of land, it is necessary to make a register of the number of people, households, and livestock in the surveyed land by the way, so as to prepare for the purpose of granting land.

These six counties include the counties to the north, and I intend to do so in batches. The land government started from Neishi County, and the amount was ......"

Speaking of this, Hu Hai suddenly got stuck, and the important ministers under the hall were a little inexplicable, and they didn't know why Hu Hai stopped just starting.

In fact, Hu Hai didn't want to say it, but he didn't know which of the counties in the world of Daqin was which, and the six counties he said before were written down after saying n many times because of the countermeasures he had thought of, and he couldn't do it without a map at this time.

Just when the ministers in the hall were at a loss, Hu Hai spoke.

"Cui Niang! Someone brought the map from my study. ”

"Slave obeys!"

As soon as Hu Hai's words fell, a delicate voice answered outside the main hall.

Soon, several eunuchs and palace maids carried the giant map in Hu Hai's study.

Hu Hai got up and walked to the giant map placed in the hall, and all the ministers in the hall also gathered around. At this moment, Hu Hai's brain is running rapidly, absorbing the information about the field reform in later generations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, my Great Qin is north of the six counties of Nanyang, Yingchuan, Hanoi, Dongjun, Xuejun and Langxi, and there are more than 30 counties.

In the first stage, I want to start from Xianyang, Neishi County, followed by Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong in eight counties.

In the second stage, starting from Sanchuan County, along the north of the line of Hedong, Shangdang, Julu, and Guangyang to 13 counties including Liaodong,

In the third stage, there are more than ten remaining counties such as Nanyang.

All the counties, the arable land, the uncultivateable land, the barren land, the land of the mountains and forests, the number of households, the number of people, livestock, etc., shall be registered.

After the completion of the registration of all the things such as the inventory and measurement of land and the people in each county, the arable land will be granted to the people immediately. You Aiqing must know that at such a time, I am willing to take such a big risk to check the purpose of measuring the land, so the matter of counting people and granting land is fundamental.

This matter must not be taken lightly. The three-year period is what I want, and if it is not possible, it can be postponed.

You Aiqing can inform the rich families or families who have a lot of land without a title, and I will not let them hand over the land in vain, and the original land of each province can be kept up to 5,000 acres, and the excess land will be repurchased by the imperial court with taxes.

In other words, the imperial court exempted it from paying taxes for the purchase of land; Wealthy families or clans who want more land can also buy at a price after the imperial court clears and grants land, and each household is limited to 10,000 acres of land.

All newly granted and purchased fields can be transferred and leased, but the transfer and lease shall be notarized by the government. The land purchased shall not be deserted, and the land purchased shall not be used for the construction of houses, and all the land shall be confiscated by violators. What do you think? ”

Hu Hai finished speaking in one breath, glanced at the ministers gathered in front of the map, and then asked.

In fact, he wants to buy land to build a house, but it is impossible to do everything in one step, right? Gradually, sometimes the results are better.

Leaving 5,000 acres of land for wealthy families or clans who do not have titles should reduce the resistance of these people and reduce the backlash.

Allowing the rich to buy land indirectly gave the feudal landlord class the soil to breed, because if these people who have money and nowhere to spend will not get an inch of land, then their land reform will encounter unimaginable obstacles.

As for whether there will be too many rich people or too many people with titles, so that the people will not be able to give land in the end, Hu Hai is not worried at all. There is a lot of land waiting to be developed outside, not to mention anything else, how much arable land can be cultivated in the three eastern provinces in later generations? And what is the population of Daqin now?

In the same way, under the mandatory order that the fields should not be barren, the rich or noble families must also find people to cultivate the land, and the common people can of course go if they want to get more income when they have land. But how many people are there in Daqin at the moment? Less than 20 million, compared to the huge land of Great Qin, there are few people and more land.

At that time, in order to find enough people to help them with their farming, these landlords would inevitably encircle the people who worked for them, which naturally minimized the degree of oppression of the tenants, because it was not good for the tenants, so I would not work with you and go somewhere else.

Of course, legislation will be enacted to protect the interests of ordinary people, so that the interests of the people at the bottom can be better safeguarded.

In this way, the lives of the people will be greatly improved, and in the case of a small number of people, if they want to get more labor, then it will definitely prompt the old and young masters of Daqin to exercise more at night and have more children, so that the population will increase sharply in a short period of time.

Moreover, Hu Hai has already thought that when the number of people begins to grow, he will use legislation to protect and help the poor people in difficulty. That's all for later.

As the elite of this era, the ministers under the hall have already weighed the pros and cons in their hearts when Hu Hai said it.

The plan for all the Qingzhang lands in Huhai can be said to have taken into account the reactions and interests of all strata of the Great Qin at present, and it is methodical and gradual, without a one-size-fits-all approach. can be basically considered perfect,

Hearing Hu Hai's question at this moment, Li Si and the others glanced at each other, and then Li Si stepped forward and bowed to Hu Hai and said,

"Your Majesty's words are balanced and gradual, and the ministers think it is very good. It's just Your Majesty, what should I do with the food eaten by people who seem to be ministers and other landless people? ”

(Let's ask for a recommendation.) )
