"The second should be...... Grant land. Wang Jibao stubbornly replaced the "Juntian system" with the granting of fields, which means sending fields.

She was born as a liberal arts student in modern times, and her history grades are very good. However, her understanding of the "Junda system" is somewhat biased. She thinks that if it is called "Juntian", it should also be divided equally. But the "equalization system" she understands is not an equal division of land, but the distribution of some barren mountains and wasteland to landless peasants to plant.

Wang Jibao explained: "When I say granting land, I mean that the imperial court will distribute the unowned wasteland to those peasants who have no land to plant, so that they can bear the rent and conscription to the imperial court. But these lands are not allowed to be bought or sold. The imperial court has the ultimate right to belong. After a pause, he said: "Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for these lands, anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so it is better to let the farmers plant." They are able to grow food to feed themselves. You can also hand over a part of it to the national treasury, which is also considered waste utilization. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yonghong nodded and agreed.

What's in this little girl's head? I'm afraid it's not a very easy question to come up with. At least for now, no one in the entire Hongwu Continent has ever thought of giving the land to others for planting. Now, as Bao Mei said, anyway, those lands are idle and idle, so they will be used as waste.

But even for recycling, it's a bold and generous approach. This man must also have an extraordinary broad-mindedness.

After giving everyone enough time to think, Wang Jibao said: "In addition, I want to talk about the issue of officials. ”

"Oh? What does this have to do with officials? Zhu Yonghong asked with interest.

"Is there anything better for you to come up with an idea of the reform of the rule of officials?" Wang Yuxun was also more curious.

Wang Jibao said with a smile: "It's not a matter of official governance, it's actually related to the reform of the land system." Generally, famous families, court officials, and those students from poor families enjoy tax exemption on all the land under their names after they have obtained meritorious fame, and even the slaves under their names can enjoy exemption from conscription and military service. I don't think that's reasonable. After Wang Jibao finished speaking, she motioned to Zhu Linxi again and asked him to show a copy of her so-called investigation report.

This report records the tax payments in the past few years in the counties where they sent people to the county offices along the route to transcribe them. After that, Wang Jibao made a column chart of the corresponding year and the amount of land to be taxed, as well as the materials and silver handed over.

It is not difficult to find that the land to pay taxes is getting less and less, and the taxes paid every year are also decreasing year by year.

Wang Xu is now very concerned about the affairs of the land, and Wang Jibao also taught him not only to study the land, but also to study various things related to the land. So this time, he couldn't hold back and took the lead in asking, "Why are there fewer and fewer?" ”

"Well," Wang Jibao thought for a moment and replied, "What do you say?" In fact, the total amount of land has not changed much. Or so much, maybe even more. However, in order to pay less taxes, ordinary people will put their land under the names of those who do not have to pay taxes. Then, they didn't have any land in their hands, so naturally they didn't have to pay taxes to the imperial court. In fact, they gave all the money to those who did not have to pay taxes to the imperial court. The result of this was that the taxes of the imperial court were declining year by year, and the purses of those who did not have to pay taxes were getting bigger and bigger. That's about it. ”

"Bao Mei is right. Why do so many children from poor families want to gain fame, in fact, there are many people who do not have to pay taxes in the future, and they can also be exempted from forced labor. In addition, he can record the land of his neighbors and eight villages in his name. In this way, they can earn a lot of money without having to contribute. Wang Yuxun added.

"Oh, I see!" Wang Xu suddenly realized.

"Sister Bao, this is the question you want to talk about officials." Zhu Yonghong said with a smile.

This girl's way of speaking is quite acceptable. But he was more interested in the chart made by Wang Xibao. If you just list the numbers, it is not obvious, but when you make such a graph, it is clear at a glance.

"Yes. What I'm going to talk about next is the issue of officials. Wang Jibao nodded and responded: "In fact, no matter which dynasty or generation, the emperor likes to divide the land when he gives the ministers as a reward. Even after me, my father, and my brothers came to Shaoguo, my father-in-law also rewarded a lot of land. ”

Wang Jibao then said to Zhu Yonghong: "But have you ever thought about it, father-in-law, the more land you give out, the less land the state can pay taxes in the future." In addition, the land that should have been taxed is put in the name of those who do not have to pay taxes, and there are some rich and powerful families who buy a large amount of land through various methods. In this way, the later it gets, the less land is actually taxed. Land will also be more and more concentrated in the hands of those who do not have to pay taxes. What happens after that? It is that the peasants have less or less land in their hands, or even none of them. In the end, what will they do if they want to support themselves, their wives and children? ”

After sweeping the circle of people present, Wang Jibao continued: "Sell yourself, sell your sons and daughters." As a result, many people who should have been subject to conscription and military service have gone to the homes of those who would not have to have to do so. The number of people who can perform conscription and military service has naturally decreased. ”

Wang Jibao said again: "You see, when it comes to the real war, even the number of people serving in the military is decreasing, how will we expand the army in the future?" And what do you use to fight others? ”

She asked Wang Yuxun again: "Third brother, what is the usual practice if the state wants to increase the revenue of the treasury?" ”

Wang Yuxun frowned and said, "Increase taxes." ”

Wang Jibao nodded and said, "Yes." Even if the imperial court does not increase taxes, some officials will increase taxes in order to show merit or if they are greedy for ink. In this way, the common people will have to think of ways to pay less taxes, and as a result, they will still choose to hang in the names of those who do not have to pay taxes. In this way, there is an endless loop, that is, it will go back to the situation I said earlier. The cycle will only make things worse. ”

It's not that Zhu Yonghong, Zhu Linxi, Wang Ziyi, Wang Yuxun and others are not as good as Wang Jibao, but because Wang Jibao is a person who stands on the shoulders of giants in an authentic way.

"Are you going to talk about restricting the lands of officials and nobles? That is, the thing mentioned in the secret letter between you and Brother Xi asked each family to report how much land they had? Zhu Yonghong said this by Wang Jibao, and his mind was much clearer.

What this girl is talking about is an out-and-out good way to govern the country! If it's a man, what if it's a man? But even if it's not a man, that's surprising enough. Fortunately, his son has a vision, and he has given people early, and he has not cheapened other countries.

Not only Zhu Yonghong was dumbfounded, but in addition to Zhu Linxi, who had already been discussed by Wang Jibao, Wang Ziyi, Wang Yuxun and others were also dumbfounded. Who instilled this concept in Baomei? So they all looked at Wang Jibao in unison.

Wang Jibao was a little embarrassed, and smiled dryly: "I'll say it casually, you know better than me, that's what I said." Where you think you can use it, use it. If it's not right, I'm just talking about it. ”

Zhu Yonghong looked at Wang Jibao for a while, and then said to Zhu Linxi very seriously: "Brother Xi, write down these, no, and all the ones about the reform of official governance proposed by Baomei before, and they will be regarded as the heirlooms of our old Zhu family in the future, and they will be passed down from generation to generation." ”

"Yes, my son does." Zhu Linxi replied equally seriously.

"Also, write down Baomei's bookkeeping methods, the methods of managing people at all levels, today's form, some of the things she usually teaches Wang Xu and Wang Palm, as well as the cannibalization theory she said, etc., whether they are useful or not, you must write them down."

In the past, they really didn't pay so much attention to what Wang Jibao said, and sometimes they took what she said as a bad idea. This time, they all had to think seriously about how much of what she said was bad ideas and how much of it was great wisdom.

Such a little aunt made Wang Xu and Wang Brown feel extremely proud and proud. They were the ones who were taught by my aunt.

Also proud and proud are Wang Jibao's three apprentices. These little guys who are far away in a foreign country are also treated like relatives by Wang Jibao.

"Baomei, according to your thoughts, in the future, you need to work out a specific amount for the land of those who do not have to pay taxes. If they exceed this limit, they will have to pay taxes. Wang Yuxun asked.

That's what it means. I just want you to come up with a detailed system. For example, how much land can be enjoyed by the super-high-grade national prince without paying taxes, how much is the first-class minister's, and so on. In addition, there should be a limit on the number of servants that these privileged classes may have. Beyond this segment, it is necessary to serve in the conscription and military service. If you really don't want to accept it, you can pay the money to offset the account and so on. ”

Wang Jibao's idea was once again recognized by everyone.

Next, Wang Jibao also discussed with everyone about the attack on the lord.

She thinks there should also be a limit to raids. Otherwise, there will be more and more people who rely on the shadow of their ancestors and do not seek progress, and even some people have developed a lot of bad habits because of this. Therefore, in order to make the children of these families progressive, it is best to consider that the title should not be hereditary for several generations, and it is best to have a degree problem.

Wang Ziyi then raised the question of the education of the children of these families and the future of the shadow. In order to supervise the study of these children of these families, although it is not as difficult as the imperial examination, it is best to conduct an assessment on them in the future when they are sealed.
