"I have heard a legend that on a continent, there is a very powerful creature, this creature can defeat all other creatures living on this continent, they are the undisputed kings of that continent.

So this creature continues to multiply, and it continues to occupy territory until it occupies the entire continent.

But then, because the quantity was so large, they became short of food, so they had to bite each other.

In the so-called animal fight, the big ones are of course dominant, so in the fierce competition for resources, only the big ones survive.

But the food is still not enough, because these large bodies also eat a lot of food, so they continue to bite, and the small ones are all eliminated, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years, and finally this kind of creature is an incomparably large species, which can shake mountains and rivers.

But they perished eventually, and I don't need to say it, you should know why. ”

"The body is getting bigger and bigger, the food is getting bigger and bigger, and if it goes on and on, there will inevitably be a shortage of food in the end, and of course it can only perish." Lu Su said, but suddenly frowned.

Liu Zhang smiled and turned to a few people: "I know that you hate me Liu Zhang in your hearts, but I really don't hate you, at least for you personally, I don't hate, it's just that the era dominated by you must pass, I don't want the big man's water bladder to break." ”

Liu Zhang stood up, and Lu Su suddenly raised his head and said, "King Shu, maybe what you said is right, the world clan will eventually perish in the process of continuous growth."

However, His Royal Highness the King of Shu used the price of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people to establish a new era, if the people who dominate this era are like those people. I don't blink a blind eye. All the children of the world. They don't blink an eye. ”

Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, did not answer Lu Su's words, and walked to the high platform, Zhang Ren ordered the execution, and the rest of the people were beheaded, Huang Lan, Li Cai, and the main members of the clan, including Sima Hui. Lu Su, Pang Degong, and Zhuge Ci, all of them were Ling Chi.

Liu Zhang stepped on the steps and faced all the civil and martial arts: "Ladies and gentlemen, before ascending the throne, this king announced three decrees, all of which are based on the previous new policies. ”

Huang Yueying took out a scroll and stepped forward, unfolded it and read aloud:

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty, fake the three orders. It is the national policy of the Han Dynasty.

The first order of His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty, the land order. Every subject of the Han Dynasty has the right to own basic land, which can be given up by himself, but it must not be taken away.

According to the number of acres of land in the local area, the number of people, and the fertility of the land, the government calculates the private land standard of each adult.

Private land can be bought and sold, leased, and only a basic tax is paid.

If the people of the Han Dynasty want to expand their land, the land outside the standard of private land is in the form of lease by the imperial court, and they must not only pay taxes, but also pay rent taxes, and the double taxes must not be in arrears, otherwise the leased land will be recovered.

The leased land is not privately owned, it is owned by the imperial court, the lease period shall not exceed ten years, the lease can be renewed at the expiration of the lease, and the state can also take back the land, and the people of the Han Dynasty who leased the land shall not be prevented under any pretext.

If private land is bought or sold, the seller also has the right to the standard land, and he can buy back the land in the future, and the local government must distribute it according to the private standard, and the market price must not be increased or persuasive.

If the buyer exceeds the standard of private land, the purchased land cannot be turned into private land, but can only be leased land, and the tax and tax are paid at the same time.

There are two exceptions, first, those who have the title of Han can obtain the right to own more private land according to the title, from the baron to the prince, the amount of private land is different, and all private land only needs to pay taxes.

If the title is downgraded or abolished, the excess land ownership rights are automatically deprived, and if the ownership is to continue, taxes and taxes must be paid, and the court has the right to repossess the lease at the end of the lease period.

Second, anyone who commits a crime, depending on the crime, can be deprived of the right to possess standard land, and if the right is to be redeemed, it is necessary to make an equal contribution to the Han. ”

This is a new land order changed from the original land order after Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying discussed.

Liu Zhang's sole purpose was to put an end to land annexation and the reduction of ordinary peasants into tenant farmers or slaves.

Although it cannot be a large-scale inventory like the population census in later generations, the imperial court will send people to the local area to supervise it every few years to see if it is concealed or unfair.

These private lands are the foundation of the lives of the people at the bottom, and perhaps these people need to sell their land when they encounter a catastrophe, but after selling, these people still have the right to own standard land, and buy back these lands, the price will not be too expensive.

In this way, when the people have money, they can still buy back these lands.

Of course, these are only useful for those who have the ability to regenerate, for example, the standard can have five acres of land, and the people can sell one acre of land, and after making money, they can buy this acre back.

If it is true that this family is in a slump and can no longer have money, then Liu Zhang will not be able to save them, in any era, there are the poorest and poorest people, and it is unavoidable.

All Liu Zhang can do is to make the system as reasonable as possible and try not to produce a large number of poor people.

And those buyers, if the original standard land amount is insufficient, buy back is private property, if it exceeds the standard, then still have to pay taxes and taxes. And the government can take it back at the end of the lease period.

This will definitely discourage the enthusiasm of some local tyrants to buy land, but those who want to run farms will still have channels, and will not prevent their livelihood.

At the same time, it will not cause a situation of serious concentration of land. If it is found that the land is seriously concentrated, the government can raise the tax as the first step, and if it is ineffective, the land can be directly recovered.

The government also could not take care of the interests of the local tyrants and keep renewing the lease, because the new land order stipulates that every adult citizen has the right to own standard land.

If a person's standard land is insufficient, and he can afford to buy it, the government must not stop him for any reason, but must sell it to him, so that if the land is seriously concentrated, the government has only one way to reclaim the leasehold.

During the feudal period, in the era of no industrialization, land was undoubtedly the most important asset, Liu Zhang did not want the land annexation to repeat, let alone because of the system and the big family oppression, so that the people had no way to live at all.

It may seem unfair that people with knighthoods can get land, but that's only for previous titles.

After the decreasing title, it is impossible to annex the land for a long time, and the high lords who previously owned a large amount of land, as long as their descendants do not have enough contributions, cannot maintain the title, and can only scatter these lands.

The title is to reward those who have meritorious service to the Han Dynasty, and it is also a privilege, and Liu Zhang feels that people who have made outstanding contributions to a country are qualified to have certain privileges.

And many heinous criminals are not even worthy of citizenship, let alone own land.

Those clans who had already been brought to the execution platform, Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others, heard the new land decree, if it was them before, such a decree would be a joke.

Because no one is going to do it.

But now that they think about it calmly, such a policy may be the real way to put an end to the rupture of the water bladder, and now that the Han Dynasty established by the Sichuan Army has not yet begun, everything is blank.

At this time, the promulgation of such a national policy will have the least resistance, and if we wait for several decades and wait for the first batch of vested interests to stand up, this policy of depriving the upper class of people will absolutely not be implemented.

At this time, these clans knew that perhaps in terms of land, the dynasty established by Liu Zhang might be better than the previous ones.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty ordered the second order, the price limit order.

The price limit order does not apply to all products. Luxury items can be sold at an unlimited price as long as they are bought and sold fairly.

The price limit order is only for the people's daily necessities, and all daily necessities must be determined by a special department to calculate the market price and maintain the basic supply.

The government must maintain a certain amount of hoarding of daily necessities in the face of disasters and other reasons for the reduction of production, and no merchant or wealthy family is allowed to hoard goods during the time when there is a shortage of essential goods, and must not sell them at high prices. ”

The price limit order is similar to the previous promulgation, and it has not changed much, but it must be put forward, because in the entire process of Liu Zhang and the Sichuan army's campaign, it was only the land order and the four imperial examinations that really encountered resistance.

And the price limit order is almost forgotten.

However, Liu Zhang knew that now the surplus of agricultural production in the Han Dynasty will inevitably lead to commerce, and when commerce is developed, the price limit order will be the biggest obstacle.

Unless there is a widespread famine in the country, the price limit order can ensure the basic order of life of the people, and at the same time it is also a means to avoid the exploitation of the capitalists.

Even if there is no disaster, if these daily items are manipulated, it is considered a disaster, and Liu Zhang has to prevent it.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, when the family was inflated, the land order was the biggest obstacle, and Liu Zhang could also foresee that if the commercial society was formed, there was no price limit order at that time, and whoever issued the price limit order, whether you were the emperor or the minister, would suffer.

Throughout the ages, few reforms have come to a good end.

Therefore, Liu Zhang must set the price limit order as a national policy when the country was founded.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty ordered the third order, and the fourth imperial examination.

The four subjects can be added or subtracted according to different eras, but the fairness of the examination is absolutely guaranteed, as long as the talent is appropriate, regardless of whether they are born into a wealthy family, they can pass the examination, belong to the corresponding department, and obtain the corresponding benefits.

The two exceptions are those who have the title of Han Dynasty and can get corresponding extra points in their own examinations, and those who are not of the Han nationality and belong to the same Chinese nationality will be given extra points depending on the regional education. ”

The imperial examination system has been used in feudal society for thousands of years, which is also the most important means for all talents in the network, and to give the poor the most important means to enter the office, he has many benefits, network talents, regardless of the wealthy families, as long as they are talented, they can be used by the imperial court.

, can also maintain stability, the poor and the people at the bottom have the hope of getting ahead, so they will not accumulate too many complaints. (To be continued......)
