Chapter 646: Let the people build a shrine for me
Jia Liu didn't want to divide the land to the households on a whim, but it was the current situation of the land in Zhili that forced him to divide the land.
There is no way, the Eight Banners occupy too much land in Zhili.
At the beginning of the country, the enclosure was nearly 500 miles from Beijing, starting from Shanhaiguan in the east, Taihang Mountain in the west, the Great Wall in the north, and Shunde Mansion in the south.
One hectare is 100 acres of land, that is, the total amount of good land owned by Baqi in the territory of Zhili is more than 19 million mu.
How many places are there in a province?
When Jia Liu was in Baoding, Buzheng Lao Yang made a special report on land and finance.
In the area of land, the statistics of the houses of the political envoys are that 52 percent of the total number of fertile fields in the province are banner fields, and the rest are private fields.
The total number of fertile land in the province is about 36 million mu.
That is to say, Jia Liu, the six provinces and eleven prefectures under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili, except for the two mansions of Guangping and Daimyo in the south, there are eight banner granges all over the place, accounting for about half.
The land of the prefecture and county, which is nearly 300 miles away from Beijing, is all owned by Baqi, and not a single acre of private land exists!
Half of the fertile land in the territory has become a flag field, which leads to the provincial area including the northern part of Henan, all of Hebei, the eastern part of Shanxi, and most of Inner Mongolia, and all of Tianjin Zhili obviously has nearly one million square kilometers of land, but the tax revenue is far less than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are much smaller than it in the south, and even inferior to neighboring Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi.
In terms of fiscal revenue, the annual treasury tax of Zhili is less than 4 million taels, including salt tax, customs duties, tea and mining tax, etc.
It ranks sixth in the country's provincial warehousing tax silver, and the top five are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan.
The highest amount of money and grain, salt taxes, and customs duties in Jiangsu is more than 9 million taels.
The second-place Zhejiang cliff fell to only 4.2 million taels, only half of Jiangsu's.
In the past few years, Sichuan's fiscal revenue was less than one million taels, and it ran a deficit every year, and it needed the assistance of rich provinces to maintain it.
That is, the financial transfer of the future generations.
The data is not made up by Jia Liu, it is the material disclosed by the Ministry of Households, and the governors of various provinces and the government yamen have corresponding reference data, so it can be said that the proportion of tax and silver in the treasury of each province is also a reference standard for the imperial court to compare the governors and officials in various places.
As a super province with nearly one million square kilometers of land and a population of nearly 30 million, Zhili's tax revenue is obviously not on the table.
The root cause is that half of the land has been divided among more than a million banner people.
More than 28 million people in Zhili, except for urban residents, seventy percent are either working as clothes and farming in Baqi Grange, or renting the fields of the banner people to live.
In order to avoid taxes, some Han people directly invested their land in the banner people, and the total amount of this land was more than 3 million mu.
Compared with the tenants who rented the land of the flag man, the Han people who invested in the land were better off, because they did not have to pay the right tax to the imperial court.
The reason for the charging is to prevent being encircled and losing people and land;
The second is to avoid taxes and bargain.
The fundamental reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was that there was no way to collect taxes, and the reason for the failure to collect taxes was that the land was donated in large quantities to the meritorious gentry.
The land owned by the gentry class is not taxed, or less taxed, which is the preferential treatment given by Ming Taizu to scholars, and does not want to become the root of the country's demise.
Together with it, there are a large number of hidden households who are willing to serve as tenants for the gentry in order to avoid taxes.
The official population of the Ming Dynasty was only about 60 million, but the number of hidden households was three times that of this official figure, as many as nearly 200 million.
This is also the origin of the controversy over the population of the Ming Dynasty by later historians.
According to the various policies of the Ming Dynasty, the population of the Ming Dynasty was 250 million, and then according to the Qing Dynasty's own historical records and relevant historical materials that flowed abroad, it was estimated that the Han population decreased by more than 100 million after the Qing army entered the customs.
It is the most serious extinction event in Chinese and foreign history.
One faction insists that the population of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 60 million, which can explain why by the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the population of the whole country was only 13 million.
Decades of war, it's obvious that your Han cannibalism has caused the population to plummet, what happened to the Qing soldiers in Guan Daqing?
Due to the need for unity, the data of more than 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty were everywhere and appeared in various books, completely ignoring the fact that the Ming Dynasty had a population of 60 million since the founding of the country, and as a result, it did not increase or decrease for more than 200 years.
It's ridiculous.
In order to settle the controversy, the elders gave a statement of 150 million people, admitting that the Qing army did cause disaster to the Chinese population after entering the customs, but the number and specifics cannot be said.
The history of the Southern Ming Dynasty is basically a brushstroke.
There is no way, after speaking, researching, and researching, it is easy to have contradictions.
Some histories should be remembered, and some cannot be remembered.
Across the Yangtze River, more than 300,000 died on the opposite side, and 780,000 died on this side, which one do you want to remember?
The three southwestern provinces have not seen anyone for thousands of miles, and even Hong Chengchou begged the imperial court not to let the soldiers kill people, how can this kind of thing be reflected in the textbook?
Of course, Jia Liu's side must not remember history too much, because he also needs to look forward.
After all, it has been a hundred years, and he has also killed many thugs who have been cultivated by the old four devils, and he has also made the old four devils out of the Yongshou Palace.
I can't say that I am satisfied, but I have a sense of accomplishment anyway.
Eight Banners took half of the land in the Zhili circle, of course, so that the tax revenue of Zhili was not as good as that of other provinces.
The number and scale of the enclosure are far more than a hundred times the land that was awarded to the vassal king before.
The existence of a large number of flag fields will inevitably lead to the further expansion of land contradictions.
Therefore, Jia Liu must ruthlessly divide the eight banners and completely solve this unstable factor that affects the stability of Zhili.
The advantage is that the enclosure has nothing to do with the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
First, when entering the customs, there were few people in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the main force was King Sanshun.
The Sanshun kings later led their troops south, so when the Eight Banners divided the fruits of victory in the north, very few fell into their pockets.
It is the existence of a group of cannon fodder pioneers.
In addition, Kong Youde was defeated by the Ming army and committed suicide, and the Geng family and the monk family rebelled, and the fruits of the natural enclosure had nothing to do with them.
After the Ming army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the Guannai was organized into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, it did not have the right to enclose land.
What qualifications did the newly surrendered puppet army have to enjoy equal rights with Zhenman?
Even if Jia Liu is now pulling people into the club, it also depends on the people.
The Eight Banners of the Han Army can get a small part of the fruit in the enclosure, that is, the few old Liaodong Han Army.
Most of these are Jurchens.
Such as the Tong family, the Shi family or something.
Most of the so-called flag fields of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were either obtained by the ancestors for their military exploits, or they were bought with money from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia.
Those who are poorly mixed are also leased and planted like the Han people.
This is how the 200 acres of land handed down by Jia Liuzu and Jia Han came from, but now there are only more than 60 acres of land belonging to the Jia family, and the rest are called Daquan lost.
If he hadn't taken the road of Heshen, these dozens of acres of land would have been sold by Jia Liu, and then he would have used the money to fight guerrillas in the south.
It is a good thing to give the landless Han people with the eight banners of Mongolia, and it is also a benevolent government, and it is also a great blue sky that can make Jia Liu become the support of 30 million people in Zhili.
Because whoever moves Lord Jia Jia will move the lifeblood of 30 million people in Zhili!
At that time, he must be enthusiastic to support the front, desperately trying to push Lord Jia Jia into the Forbidden City, and invite him to sit on the dragon chair.
The problem is that this is really full of cakes!
To put it mildly, what is the difference between dividing the land into eight banners and creating a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty?
No matter how powerful you Jia Liu is fighting with Aixin Jueluo, what does it have to do with other Manmeng Banner people?
The Eight Banners are not all slaves of Aixin Jueluo, if you want to talk about anti-Qing, which Eight Banners has not done it in a hundred years?
So you can fight at the top level, but don't affect the flag people at the bottom.
Divide the land, that is, to be the enemy of all the Manchurian bannermen!
To divide the land is to divide the flesh and blood of the Qing Dynasty!
It is to completely deny the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty!
It is a reactionary element who conspires to overthrow the Qing Dynasty!
Can the old rich agree?
Can Uncle Se agree?
Even Jia Liu's own subordinates are also full of Mongolian flag soldiers, and in addition to Li Shijie, the governor of Sichuan, and Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, who else is Han?
How many of these Manchurian flag-bearers can jump out of the small circle of class like Jia Liu?
So if you don't get this thing right, you will shoot yourself in the foot and make yourself the common enemy of the people who are full of bannermen in the world.
With Jia Liu's current strength, can he brave the world's disapproval?
Of course not.
Ding Qing also persuaded the governor not to do this for the first time, even if he waited for the five towns of the new army to practice before doing so, he Deputy Director Ding would not say a word.
Whether it is Cao Mang or Taizu, there must be strong military support.
Subverting the Qing Dynasty, Deputy Director Ding has no opinion.
If the Qing Dynasty does not die, they will have to worry that someone will settle their accounts after the autumn.
As for all these dirty things that the Communist Association has done since its establishment, which one is not enough to punish the nine clans?
But the goal is firm, is the step thicker?
This will put yourself on the table and ask others to attack, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Your worries are also my consideration, of course we can't completely overturn the national policy of enclosure, but there are workarounds for everything, you must know that the imperial court still owes me a large amount of land."
The large amount of land that Jia Liu said the court owed him was actually the land of several hat kings who participated in the palace rebellion.
Theoretically, Prince Xian's Mansion, Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion, and Pingjun Palace, the four heads of the Great Rebellion, were all killed by Jia Liu.
In terms of meritorious deeds, should the flag fields occupied by these four hat kings belong to Jia Liu?
Don't you give it all to him, and divide it into half, right?
Last year, Jia Liu had a dispute with the old rich because of the flag fields of these four hat kings.
According to the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Zhuang's Mansion has 550,000 mu of flag fields, Prince Xian's Mansion has 900,000 mu of flag fields, Prince Jian's Mansion has about 700,000 mu of flag fields, and Pingjun Wangfu has 470,000 mu of flag fields.
The four palaces have a total of more than 260 acres of flag fields, in addition, the four palaces have successively purchased their own land over the years, the total amount may be less than the flag fields, but the scale is certainly very considerable, conservatively estimated that the four flag fields, their own fields add up to at least more than 4 million acres.
There is also a Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Kang Yong'en was killed by Jia Liu's subordinate Yan Yuji, but Prince Kang's Mansion was not executed.
But since Yongen participated in the rebellion, there was no reason for Prince Kang's Mansion to be passed on.
When Kyori discussed the new Hat King, no one said that Prince Kang's Mansion should be kept.
This Prince Kang's Mansion is also the direct inheritance of Prince Li's Daishan, and it can be said that it is the head of the hat king.
There are more than 2 million acres of flag fields and self-owned fields.
In addition to the land, the princes who committed the crime also had a large number of real estate shops, and if they were all sold, they would definitely be astronomical.
The people he killed, the homes he ransacked, why couldn't these lands and wealth belong to Jia Liu?
At that time, Jia Liu really wanted to eat it all, but he couldn't swallow it when he arrived, because there were too many factors involved.
To put it bluntly, the strength is not enough.
That's why it's been a bit of a ruffle.
Now, Jia Liu decided to make a fuss about it.
Change!
Theoretically, he should have been assigned to the flag field of the rebel prince of his own force, and his own land was exchanged with the flag field of Yongping Mansion.
Then carry out a pilot project in Yongping Mansion.
Why take Yongping Mansion as a pilot?
Because all the land in Yongpyeong Province is a white flag in name.
When the Qing army entered the customs, the standard of the Eight Banners was distributed according to the left and right flanks.
Dolgon's Zhengbai Banner was stationed in Yongping Province, so Yongping, which was supposed to be assigned to the Yellow Banner, was assigned to the Zhengbai Banner, and the Yellow Banner was divided into Baoding, Hejian and Zhuozhou areas at the end of the right wing.
In fact, there are only two or three out of ten Manchu left in the original Three Banners, and the rest are all traveling westward with cranes.
According to the later statistics of Shuntianfu, there were more than 110,000 people in Shangsanqi Manchuria who unfortunately died during the palace rebellion, and tens of thousands of manpower were mobilized to dispose of these corpses alone.
Therefore, the current Zhengbai flag was rebuilt by the old rich in order to win over the flags, which makes the resistance to Jia Liu's proposal to change land smaller.
Jia Liu's meaning is very simple, Lao Fu will return all the 3.2 million mu of flag fields in Yongping Mansion to Zhili, and Jia Liu, the governor of Zhili, will dispose of it himself.
The land in Beijing that should have been allocated to him was given to Xinjian Zhengbaiqi.
In this way, Jia Liu is happy, Xinjian Zhengbai is happy, and the old rich and the color uncle are also happy.
In terms of land value alone, the land on the edge of Jingshi is the most valuable.
The land price here in Yongping is only two-thirds of the land price near Jingshi, or even less.
Ding Qing understood and was a little surprised: "Didn't the adult suffer a loss?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you lose or not, as long as the people can be favored... You know that I am a human being, and I would rather suffer myself than the people. ”
Jia Liu's face was frank.
Once the old man agreed to the land exchange plan, he immediately began to measure the fertile land in Yongping Mansion and immediately distributed the land to the households.
Just like Shanhaiguan, as long as the opening of the Qitian land division is opened, it will be easy to do later.
The first person to eat crab must eat crab claws first, and it is impossible to eat crab roe first.
But crab roe will never escape the fate of the lower stomach.
"For the sake of the people, my lord is really heartbroken, and he has really done the world for the public!"
Deputy Director Ding was quite moved.
In other words, no one would take out millions of acres of land and divide it like this.
But Master Jia Jia did it!
It is really an example of the people who are selfless, dedicated to the people, and do not bring life to death and do not take it away!
"As long as the people can say good to me, and can say that I, the Governor, am a good official, and can follow me to make progress, my wish will be fulfilled."
Worried about the country and the people, Jia Liu, who was worried about the Qing Dynasty, got into the carriage with heavy steps, and when he lay down to rest, his eyes opened again, and then he lifted the sedan curtain, and said to Deputy Director Ding, who was explaining the matters on the side: "By the way, when the time comes, not only will the newspaper give a special lecture, but also mobilize the people to cultivate the ancestral hall for me, understand?" ”
