In fact, Qiao Ren has made a decision on the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and is ready to implement it, but in today's difficult financial situation, the material selection system still gives way to finance. After all, if the family is not allowed to get out of the category of local tyrants, no matter how good the material selection system is, it will be in vain.

"Zitong doesn't need to worry, the Lone King is not a reckless person, this time Dutian and Guangwu are not the same. The lonely king will take care of Jiang Zuo's emotions, and the most important thing is that this is not the early age of Ji Han. Qiao Ren deliberately slowed down on his horse, so that he could keep up with Jiang Ji.

This is an incomparable honor for outsiders, but Jiang Ji himself didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he heard Qiao Ren's explanation, Jiang Ji was also relieved, yes! It is indeed different from the time of Emperor Guangwu now. The establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the result of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu winning over the powerful landlords to jointly support it, so the political foundation of the Eastern Han Empire was the local powerful everywhere, so when Liu Xiu was in the field, these powerful people were surprisingly angry, because they felt the feeling of betrayal and killing the donkey. Their so-called privileges were exchanged for supporting Liu Xiu, in other words, these benefits were the legitimate rights that Liu Xiu should give them.

Therefore, Liu Xiu's Dutian order was issued from the time it was issued, and the three important ministers were issued to the common people, which was a voice of opposition.

Unlike Soochow, most of the non-state-owned land in Soochow is in the hands of a small number of families and is not scattered. As for the local Haoqiang, he said that he was only a small head. And the family is different from the Haoqiang, compared to the local Haoqiang evolved from the large and small military nobles, the number of the family is smaller and not unified, and the most important thing is that they don't pay much attention to the military. The local heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty all had troops and private soldiers, and because they were military landlords, marching and fighting were commonplace. However, the family is a family of scriptures, mainly engaged in business and farming, although there are also private soldiers, but they do not like to use knives very much. I don't want to be as easily excited as Haoqiang. The most important point is that there is a professional soldier in the center of Soochow with more than 40,000 people.

In addition, there were a large number of Huaisi families who did not have much land in Eastern Wu, and they were either engaged in business or some officers and nobles who relied on state rewards. Even if due to the existence of the re-customization system, many Huaisi generals living abroad have a piece of land, but as a military general, how useful it is to hold land is not as good as having some surplus money to purchase equipment and reward soldiers! Moreover, these Huaisi people are difficult to leave their homeland, and they would rather have an acre of land in their hometown than a hectare of land in Jiangzuo. Besides, the land of the Huaisi system is granted by the state, and there is no hidden phenomenon at all.

Relatively speaking, the real obstacle to the Eastern Wu Dutian is the Jiangzuo family who own a large amount of land, but the strength of them is compared with the country. Compared with the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is much smaller.

But even after thinking about all this, Jiang Ji still didn't have much confidence in Qiao Ren's Dutian, but seeing Qiao Ren's resolute look, Jiang Ji couldn't help but ask: "King, I don't know how you want the family to give up some of the hidden fields and households!? ”

"Shang!! The Jiangzuo family is blessed. Each family not only has a lot of land but also occupies a lot of mountains, rivers and forests, but how much benefit can such a large piece of land bring them!? Qiao Ren pointed to a mountain not far away that belonged to the Danyang Xu family. Yaoyao's middle finger sighed: "There are few people in the Jiangbiao generation. Labor shortage. The Jiangzuo family has a lot of land, but there are not many private households. Instead of pointing to these fields, it is better to develop trade with the Lone King!! ”

Qiao Ren still had a sentence to finish, as the Zhang family of Wu County, who had the most land in the Jiangzuo family, due to the relationship between the family and Wen, they did not accumulate land very early. Instead, it turned to inland trade, and is now a trading giant on the Yangtze River. And the Zhu family of Wu County, which has the second most land, is divided and difficult to become a climate. As for the family of Huiji, they are all a group of local tyrants. Even though there are a lot of bureaucrats, they are all petty officials who are not in the stream, and they can't put pressure on Qiao Ren at all.

"The king is right!!" Jiang Ji nodded approvingly, "But it's too much to take for granted, the king should try his tone with Hui Shu first." And even if it is to inspect the land, Liu Jingyu also needs to make some preparations, not in a hurry! ”

"You have a point!!" Qiao Ren nodded and said, after all, this was all thought of by him alone, and it was not perfect.

For example, if the tax system of the Han Dynasty is continued after the land is completed, the result is that those peasant households have to run back and become the hidden head of the family again. However, if the more feasible rent-based system is to be adopted, it must be based on the equal-land system. But Qiao Ren didn't want to use the Juntian system.

It is true that after the implementation of the Juntian system, Wu Guo was able to logically use the new tax system, the rent system, and the new military service system, both of which were based on the Juntian system. Even with all these conveniences and benefits, Qiao Ren was concerned about the way land was distributed to farmers according to population. In Qiao Ren's view, this kind of overly equal ideal distribution system is an obstacle to China's progress, and the equal distribution of land cannot hinder the concentration of land.

To put it bluntly, that is, after the equal division of land, there is continuous concentration, and then the contradictions erupt and the dynasty collapses, and the new dynasty adjusts its policy to distribute the land equally, and so on. However, the germination of capitalism requires strong economic strength, and of course the equal distribution of land cannot meet this demand, so there is the most famous 'sheep eating man' during the embryonic period of British capitalism - the enclosure movement, which is essentially a manifestation of land concentration.

So Qiao Ren hesitated, once the first system of equal distribution of land appeared, China would inevitably fall into an endless cycle. The current family does not have that pathological demand for land, and for money, it is not like the landlords of the Ming Dynasty who cast gold balls and silver balls and buried them in the ground. The families of Soochow are still rationally pursuing enjoyment and consumption, and as long as this attitude remains unchanged, the germination of capitalism will occur sooner or later under the stimulus of commercial development.

Of course, Qiao Ren wants this country to be strong forever, otherwise he is not the ruler of the dynasty, why bother to do anything, he is now a supreme minister and has nothing to promote, and no matter how much credit there is, it will be a drag for him and Sun Shao. But it was this obsession in his previous life that made him continue to work hard.

"Maybe I should try to collect business tax!? Qiao Ren said to himself.

"What did you say, King? What tax!? Jiang Ji on the side listened to a rough idea, but he didn't hear it clearly, and asked hurriedly.

"Oh!!" Qiao Ren suddenly raised his head and saw Jiang Ji's confused gaze, and said with a calm mind: "What the lonely king means is that after Dutian, the tax will be changed, the tax will be reduced, and the tax will be exempted. The land tax was added and changed to five taxes and one. ”

"King, will it be too high, this tax people!!"

This is the limitation of the times, even a person of insight like Jiang Ji has fallen into the words, ten taxes to five taxes and one seems to be a lot more, but in fact there is a lot more, but more is that the family that owns a lot of land pays more. For the people who have no land or a small amount of land, it is to reduce the burden.

If the mouth is exempted, children under the age of 16 do not have to pay taxes, and the people will naturally have more children, and the national strength of Wu will increase. If the burden of calculating the adult labor force is reduced, the burden will be reduced, and the living standards of the people will naturally improve. The increase in land endowment will also be quite large due to the increase in the fiscal revenue of the country with a large foundation. And the most important thing is that it is not the people who increase the burden but the family, for the family is not very different from the five taxes and one ten taxes, but the point is whether the people of this era can understand that this new tax system is actually helping them to relieve pressure, rather than literally changing from ten taxes to five taxes.

If we add an increase in the commercial tax and the complete exemption of the tax, the movement of the population will inevitably increase, and commerce will become more and more developed due to the movement of the population. Although the state does not have free labor and military service, it can obtain unprecedented economic income, so that the state can form a completely full-time professional army, instead of the central fifth army being professional soldiers, and the foreign army is a half-cultivated and half-combat army, as is the case now.

After Qiao Ren was ready to go home, he summoned Jiang Ji, Liu Ji, Zhang Wen and others to discuss and see if they could understand it, if it was said that there was no way to connect a few great talents in the world who were deeply influenced by Qiao Ren, then the farmers would ???????
