Chapter 164: Land

Qi Xuan had the heart to say that he had the final say, but he felt that it violated the concept of equality between the Taoist sects, and he didn't respect Zhang Yuelu very much, and more importantly, he had no confidence, so he had to say: "It is said that it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, this kind of thing, no matter who has the final say, everyone will discuss it." ”

"I know you kid didn't plant." Qi Niang squinted at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu said innocently: "What does this have to do with whether there is a kind or not?" ”

Qi Niang said with a heart: "Other men don't care whether they can call the shots in front of others, at least they say that they can call the shots." You don't dare to say that you are in charge in front of me, what will you say in front of the Zhang family's girl, I don't dare to think, you kid should not be afraid of guilt, right? ”

Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically: "Qi Niang, if you find a man now, then who has the final say?" ”

Qi Niang said as a matter of course: "Of course, I have the final say, this is a specific analysis of the specific situation." ”

Qi Xuansu pursed his lips: "This is a double standard. ”

Even when Qi Niang ignored it, she seemed to be reasonable: "I'm having double standards." What, are you not convinced? ”

Qi Xuansu whispered, "No wonder you're alone. ”

"Tianyuan, you kid??????????????? What to say? Qi Niang squinted at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu naturally saw the wind and steered: "I said, Qi Niang, you are good theory." ”

Qi Niang didn't bother with him, and said: "I heard that Li Wujian specially approved you to rest, look at this posture, no matter how big the action is, it will not be your turn to go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, so you don't have to come back with the large army, you can apply to return to Yujing with the first batch of withdrawals, and Li Wujian will agree." You have made so many military exploits, and the charge of fear and cowardice cannot be deducted from your head, but you will only say that you are high-spirited and have given up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to your fellow Daoists. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "What am I going to do when I go back to Yujing early?" ”

Qi Niang said: "Of course it's to look at the house, your own house, don't you take a look?" ”

When it came to the end, Qi Xuansu was not so eager: "Won't it be too urgent?" Do you want to stop being heavy? ”

Qi Niang rarely did not attack Qi Xuansu verbally, but said earnestly: "In the West, there is a term called 'consumption', which means squandering and exhausting, this word appeared two hundred years ago, with the great development of maritime trade, many middle-level Westerners believe that the wealth of the world is inexhaustible, so they advocate that people squander wealth at will." The concept of 'consumption' was born, and many people pursued decent consumption, craving unbridled material pleasures and pastimes, and regarded these as the goal and meaning of their lives, and this trend gradually affected our side. ”

"I have always been against the so-called 'consumption', and the main reason for the spread of this concept is that Westerners think differently from us. In the view of Westerners, the mission of man is to understand the world with physical strength and wisdom, and then conquer and control the world, become the master of all things in nature, and make it serve people. This is completely different from our Oriental idea of the unity of man and nature, and the pursuit of harmony between man and nature. On the basis of the idea that we regard heaven and man as friends, and Westerners regard the relationship between man and heaven and earth as conquering and being conquered, exploiting and being exploited, it is logical that the so-called 'consumption' emerges and breeds. ”

"Although I am against 'consumption', and 'consumption' is inherently in conflict with the frugality of Taoism, in this matter, I hope you will not be too frugal. In my own experience, when I was young, I wanted something but didn't buy it because I didn't have the money, and after the years of confusion, I might not want to buy it even if I had the money, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to get the experience I had when I was 20 years old. ”

"With your future, in ten or ten years, you may have 10,000 mansions, but you will not have the joy of getting your first new house when you were 20 years old."

"This is like a matter of men and women, when you become famous, whether it is a male pet, a female pet, or even a eunuch, as long as you want to, you can always be surrounded by countless people, but can you still find the sweet and bitter of the beginning of love when you were young? After the crown is an adult, it will only be boring to buy toys that you couldn't ask for when you were a child. ”

"Persuade the monarch not to cherish the golden clothes, and persuade the monarch to cherish the youth. There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches. The ancients have long explained this truth. ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly understood a little why Qi Niang was not very interested in spending money, not only because she was stingy, but also because she was old, and the same money could no longer bring her the same level of heartbeat.

When he was young, he could sneak out of the Vientiane Dao Palace, take a stroll around Longmen Mansion, eat a sugar gourd, and pinch a candy man, even if it was a beautiful thing, he could have a good mood for several days in a row.

If you give him a hundred or a thousand strings of sugar gourds now, you won't be able to get back a little carefree of the past.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it will not be the same in the end, a young man." ”

Qi Niang finally said: "This matter is settled, I will leave Yujing before Li Changgeng takes over as the rotating Dazhenren." ”

Qi Xuansu can only accept it. It will not be until the beginning of July that the two deputy head sect masters will be handed over, he just needs to rush back in June, it is not yet April, and there are two months in between, which is enough for him to deal with the affairs of Fenglin Continent.

There are a lot of things in Fenglinzhou, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are nominally resting, but in fact, they are no longer on the battlefield to make war achievements, which does not mean that the two of them can travel in Fenglinzhou openly, and in normal times, they will also participate in some less important civilian work, Qi Xuansu participated in the reform of the aristocratic system in Fenglinzhou.

Zhang Yuelu participated in the reform of the land system.

Some people may wonder how the reform of the land system has anything to do with Tiangangtang, but in fact, the reason is very simple, the reason why Daomen wants to reform the aristocratic system is to separate the name of the nobility from the land and prepare for the next land reform. For example, it is to change a feudal king with a fief into a prince without a fief.

That's why titles are important and not so important. If the title is linked to the territory, Qi Xuansu will not be so easy to get a position for Phantom Ji to get an earl.

The reform of the land system, which is advancing simultaneously with the reform of the aristocratic system, involves real interests, and the fundamental interests of some people are moved, and these people will be desperate, and it is basically impossible not to use force, so it is natural for Tiangangtang to cooperate.

The reason why Daomen wants to reform the land system is mainly due to two considerations.

The first aspect is to crack down on the local heroes, this time the situation in Fenglinzhou is out of control, forcing the Daomen to end up in person, in addition to respecting the faction to sit big, the key is the rebellion of the feudal lords and daimyo in various places, each wants to be the king of grass, and return to the "Warring States" situation of the year.

In these places, the strong and powerful, naturally also include the Fenglinzhou Buddhism, the Taoist Gate has already turned against the Buddhism, and the Fenglinzhou Buddhism has chosen to stand on the side of the Zun Zheng faction, this time naturally there will be no good results, the Buddhist temples around the country have a large amount of land, and the Daomen has recovered these lands, which is to weaken the Fenglinzhou Buddhism. Without the support of the land, what else does the Fenglinzhou Buddhism take to support the monks and soldiers. A Confucian once said that there is only one who sets up a pot to cook white rice, and there is no reason to set up a pot to cook it. In the same way, boiling Buddhist scriptures in a pot can not feed millions of monks.

All in all, Daomen should solve the problem of local power from the root.

In the past, the "people" in the mouth of the emperor and general actually referred to the local tycoons, as long as they could reach a consensus with the gentry and aristocracy, they could get the world. Daomen does not deny this, but with the development and change of the world, the common class is becoming more and more important. After Daomen reclaimed the land, he naturally did not cultivate it himself, but still had to redistribute the land.

All dynasties regarded land annexation as a great enemy, and even if it could not be completely curbed, it was necessary to find ways to slow it down.

First, because the people with land are the main source of taxes, and the soldiers of good families are also the best source of soldiers. Second, the suppression of annexation can effectively prevent the emergence of landless and displaced people. In order to prevent the displaced people from rising up, the imperial court formed a box army, which did not do training, but only served as labor, resulting in redundant soldiers with no combat power. In order to prevent the big families from dominating the court, they had to let go of the imperial examination and absorb a large number of children from the poor family in order to balance, resulting in redundant officials. It has always been the case that the high lords of the family do not pay taxes, the people are reduced to tenants, and the court has no taxes,??????????????? The imposition of additional taxes has led to more people becoming tenants, and in addition, they have to use troops, so they can only delegate power to the localities, resulting in the growth of powerful people in various places.

Based on these considerations, Daomen decided to redistribute the land and distribute it to the people. And they should make a big publicity, so that the people know that it was the Daomen who saved them, and let the people know who is on their side and who is exploiting and persecuting them.

Although it is not possible to say that the people will not pay the grain, it is true that the taxes are reduced and the fields are distributed.

As long as the common people recognize the Daomen from the bottom of their hearts, then the rule of the Daomen is firm, and the nobles are strong and strong, and they can't make big waves.

At this point, Daomen knows that it cannot be done in one step, but step by step. Therefore, the first to allocate the land of the royal family, Tianmen and Fenglinzhou Buddhism, these three as the defeated side, it is the right thing to be completely liquidated, they can't win the battlefield, and there is no room for resistance at this time, let alone arouse the opposition of other feudal lords, in the eyes of the local feudal lords, it is already a great mercy that the Daomen did not slaughter the Zun Zheng faction, and it is reasonable and legal to collect the land, and it will not affect others.

This is divide and conquer.

First win over one faction, stabilize one faction, kill one faction, and only two factions remain.

Then pull another faction, kill another faction, and only one faction remains.

In the end, the only remaining faction was killed, and that faction was powerless to resist and could only wait to be killed.

At this time, the three major factions, the Zun faction, the local powerful neutral faction, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion.

First win over the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, kill the Zun Zheng faction, and stabilize the neutral faction, and the neutral faction believes that it is reasonable for the Zun Zheng faction to be liquidated, and there will be no radical actions.

Only the Toyotomi Prime Minister and the local neutral faction remained. Then use the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion to clean up the local Haoqiang, at this time, will the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion be sad because of the death of the local Haoqiang? They don't, they just think that they can stabilize their rule by solving these places.

After the demise of the local tyrants, only the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion remained, and they rose to the Daomen, all relying on the support of the Daomen, and the remnants of the Zun Gang and the local Haoqiang faction would also fight back frantically with the acquiescence of the Daomen, and instead became the pawns of the Daomen to deal with the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the monarch wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die. After these three steps, the main opponents were eliminated, the heavily walled factional hills were dispersed, the centralization of power was completed, and the New Deal was successfully implemented, and the land redistribution was carried out.
