Chapter 213: The Temptation Begins

After listening to Zhang Mazi's story, Zhao Pu said in his heart: It's time to change the law!

It is time to implement the military household system and the apportionment of land to the mu.

"The people are the source of the soldiers, there is no army without the people, and now the army is scattered, only relying on the 30,000 eight-character army, unable to resist the Jin army, only a large number of recruits, can resist the Jin army. It's just that the imperial court is short of finances and wants to recruit troops, but there is no money, so I want to implement the military household system, integrate the army and the people, raise the army with the people, and defend the people with the army! ”

"The military household system has been implemented in Yangzhou for some time. Now it will be implemented in the Xiangfan area. Soon it will spread to most of Hubei and the whole territory of Henan! ”

While speaking, Zhao Pu distributed the manuscript of the general's household system and passed it to the ministers separately.

At this time, only seven people attended the meeting, including Wang Boyan, Zhang Jun, Lu Yihao, and Zhu Shengfei. They are all members of the imperial court, officials of the three provinces, or some key departments, and determine the direction of the court's future policies. Changing the law needs their approval.

Looking at the manuscript, many courtiers looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

The premise of implementing the military household system is that there is a large amount of idle land that is distributed to the people.

If it was in the past, it really couldn't be realized, because these lands were all owner's land, and once the land was seized, it would inevitably lead the gentry to counterattack, and if it wasn't done, the world would be in chaos. And this time the Jin army went south, a large number of gentry and landlords were killed, or fled, and a large amount of ownerless land appeared.

It is just right to distribute these lands to the common people and form military households, which on the one hand will stabilize the people's hearts and on the other hand, it will be possible to organize more troops.

It's just a bit of forcible grabbing.

Everything is forcible and plundered in the name of the state.

Are those terra nullius really ownerless? Not necessarily, the landlords and gentry who fled away only temporarily left and still had land ownership; The head of the original land died, but there were still children, clansmen, and distant relatives. In this era of land supremacy, there will never be ownerless land, but the owner is not determined.

In short, it seems to be terra nullius, but it is not ownerless.

It's just that with the war, there is no owner for the time being.

And Zhao Pu took advantage of this time difference to turn the temporarily ownerless land into a permanent ownerless land.

In the new law, it is stipulated that within 10 days of the promulgation of the new law, the title deed must be held and certified by the government. Only when you are certified can you be considered a master. If you don't go to the certification within 10 days, it means that you lose the title to the land permanently. The land that is unowned will be distributed according to the local population.

This decree is a bit of a trick.

The Jin army invaded, the rich households, landlords, gentry and the like, most of them had already fled, panicked, it would be good to save their lives, even if they carried things, most of them were gold and silver, or dry food, etc., who would run away while carrying the title deed. Most of the title deeds were burned or lost during the war, and even if the title deeds of some landlords were preserved, only a few.

In addition, ten days is too short, and some landlords who have fled abroad have no time to rush back, even if they want to cheat and go through the back door, they will delay the deadline.

This new law is a large amount of land embezzled by landlords in the name of legality and to earn illegal benefits.

This decree is too ruthless.

Wang Boyan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, this method is not feasible. The Jin army went south, and many lands fell in Henan, Hubei, Shandong and other places. The scope is too wide, and once it is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to social unrest! ”

Zhao Pu said in his heart: "Ironclad will definitely cause turmoil, and the difference is only controllable and uncontrollable!" ”

Zhang Jun also spoke: "Your Majesty, this law offends the gentry and is better than the law of green seedlings, and this law is extremely harmful!" ”

Zhao Pu nodded secretly in his heart: The Qingmiao Law harms people because there are too many loopholes to exploit; And this policy, if it is not done well, will also make the people suffer! “

"The Jin army is going south, my situation is like a dangerous egg, at this moment, training is the best, and we must not make waves again!"

"Your Majesty, these prefectures and counties have been attacked and harassed by the Jin army, and they should focus on cultivating and recuperating, even if they want to change the law, they shouldn't be in too much of a hurry!"

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty......"

In an instant, Zhao Pu seemed to have become a reactionary, seemed to have become an enemy of the ministers, and at this moment Zhao Pu was unprecedentedly isolated.

But Zhao Pu was not worried at all.

"Go on?" Zhao Pu said calmly, "The state has a minister, and it is immortal." I may not like what you say, but I will defend your right to speak to the death. Wang Anshi's change of law, why it failed, is because of bias. I think that the new law is good and should be implemented, but I forget that oranges are oranges in Huaibei, and oranges in Huainan are oranges! ”

"But you'd better not object to the change! Now is the only change in a century, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, the society will be subverted in an instant, a careless, widowed is the king of the country; And all of you here are either two corpses, observing festivals for the country, or reduced to ministers, leaving a stench for 10,000 years. Doing nothing is doomed to be a dead end. The situation has reached the point where it is impossible to change, and what remains unchanged is to wait for death, and to seek death when the law is changed. And the change seems to be looking for death, but in fact, there is still a glimmer of life, as long as you grasp it, you will still succeed, but if you don't change the law, you will definitely die, and there is no way to live. At this moment, it is inevitable to change the law, and the change will be successful, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will die, and you will not have a good life, and you will also be a slave when you get to the Jin Army, and the Jin Army may not be reused! ”

Zhao Pu's words were calm, but when they fell in the hearts of the ministers, they were like thunder.

"The general strategy of the military household system has been specified, but there are many shortcomings in specific details and loopholes that are easy to be exploited. There are many, many disadvantages of improper governance, and it is up to you to make up for them! Zhao Pu's tone was calm, but there was no doubt in his words.

"Of course, you can choose to leave here and walk out of this door!"

Wang Boyan, Zhang Jun, Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei and others looked at each other, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously. If you walk out of this gate, you won't be able to come back.

Everyone is an important minister of the imperial court, and they have all studied hard for ten years, and they have experienced scientific research and hard work before they entered the official career; And to enter the official career, it is after decades of hard work and hard work to reach such a position, is it all easy? At this time, it is difficult to give up. It's just that when it comes to changing the law, all the ministers have no bottom in their hearts, this is a guy who offends people.

It's just that the intention of the Holy One is already very obvious. Feel free to say that there is no guilt; However, it is necessary to support the change, even if there are many drawbacks. What they need to do is to constantly look for the drawbacks of the new law and then make up for the drawbacks, instead of blindly opposing it for the sake of opposition.

At this moment, the temple was quiet.

The crowd is still hesitating......

Zhao Pu was furious in his heart, the Confucian idea of moderation is really harmful, everyone wants to live a stable life, not desperate. If you are an ordinary person, this is nothing, but as an important minister of the court, if you want to play Mingzhe to protect yourself, this is looking for death. Without Wang Wu and Zhao Liu, there is no shortage of scholars in the world, and there is no shortage of people who are officials.

Suppress your anger!

Suppress your anger!

Zhao Pu kept talking to himself, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and waited silently.

The change of the law is not a matter of one person, although he is the emperor, but he also needs the support of his ministers to continue the change. Maybe these supports are just false, just utilitarian, and insincere, and he can only pinch his nose and admit it. At least for now, he needs support, even if it's superficial.

In order to let the shelf of the law change, set up!

If you don't set up a shelf and don't start taking the first step, you can't start changing the law.
