Chapter 162 "On the Hidden Household, the Hooligans"

In Qujiangfang, where the water and sky are the same, Yunchu held a feast.

This is the reward of the people of Qujiangfang after confronting the sky and after the victory, and it is the best way to improve the self-confidence and pride of the people of Qujiangfang. As the chief hero, Abe naturally received the highest reward given by Yun Chu - a cow!

Don't look at this as just a cow, but it is the highest reward for the government to reward meritorious people.

Under normal circumstances, passers-by save a life and reward a sheep.

When encountering bandits on the road, he fought hard, and counter-killed and captured him to the government and rewarded a milk sheep.

Suddenly encountered two disasters of water and fire, shouted loudly, made people flee, and bravely took the lead in disaster relief, those who have great merit will be rewarded with a cow!

This is where the principle of rewarding Abe with a cow comes from.

Abe was very happy, and the people of Qujiangfang were also happy for him, and at the banquet, the Japanese people were very drunk.

He also cried and sang and danced, and watched Yun Chu sing hopefully: "The capital of Nara is like cherry blossoms in full bloom. The fragrance is everywhere and fills the eyes. (Original, Wakoku, Ono Lao, in 700 AD)

Reward Abe with a cow, this is a business, and it is also a matter of course, if this time the idea is Erniu, or other Tang people, Yun Chu's reward to him is also a cow, however, there will be a subsidy from the village sages, as for how much this subsidy is, it depends on Yun Chu's mood, in short, these subsidies will definitely make a lower family become an upper family in an instant.

Yun Chu himself was trapped in Qujiangfang by the flood, and was trapped for seven days, during which some Qujiangfang people took a bamboo raft to Chang'an City to report safety to the Yamen and their families.

In these seven days, Yun Chu was not idle, but began to lay out his own papermaking business.

There are a lot of bamboos on the edge of Chang'an, this thing has become a harm in Jinchangfang, and even more so in Qujiangfang, if they are not cut down in a year or two, they will dare to grow into the farmland.

The biggest reason why Qujiangfang papermaking was chosen was that the people here already had the consciousness of working to support their families, and Yunchu hoped to transform the rent that used to rely on land to deform into these workshops, that is to say, the people of the Tang Dynasty who worked in the workshops actually had a certain right to decide on the workshops.

In other words, they are not only the workers of the workshop, but also have a certain ownership of the workshop.

This is a huge change, even a sea change for the farmers, and Yun Chu hopes that someone will be brave enough to participate in it.

There is no land in Wannian County that can be distributed to adult men and women, which leads to the fact that many people's hukou will not appear on the household registration of Wannian County at all, which is the reason why Chang'an alone has a population of millions, but at this time, the population of the entire Datang is less than 3.6 million households.

According to the investigation of the officials of Wannian County, at least more than 30% of the people in Wannian County alone exist in Chang'an in the form of hidden households and hooligans.

That is to say, because the Tang Dynasty did not provide the means of production - land to these more than 30% of the people, so many people do not have to bear the rent and commission, and they are not eligible to participate in the government military system.

In the long run, the government system will become larger and larger, but the taxpayer population will not increase, or even decrease, the government's income will decrease, and at the same time, because there is no money, the government will provide less and less protection to the people.

This is a very bad vicious circle, so after reaching the peak of feudal social development such as the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty early, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty declined all the way, and finally became the unification dynasty with the worst ending.

As an official, Yun Chu is still a competent official, he was like this before, and he is still like this, so Yun Chu took advantage of the days when he was trapped in Qujiangfang to write "On the Hidden Household Flow, Gangsters".

In this note, Yun Chu used the way of tracing the roots and the tone of discussion to explain to the emperor and his ministers the emergence and development of hidden households and hooligans, and then to the harm of hidden households, hooligans and hooligans to the Tang Dynasty society and the harm to the Tang Dynasty imperial power.

Finally, he also wrote in a threatening tone: "If you don't understand the danger of hermits, rogues, and hooligans, you will have more pillars than farmers in the south acres; There are more rafters than workers on the plane; The nailhead phosphorus is more than the millet grains in Yu, and there must be worries about the world overturning.

In this way, the Tang people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn it; Later generations mourn and do not learn from it, and it also makes future generations mourn for future generations. ”

This is the first long piece of argument in the form of a long note, which Yun Chu wrote for five days, hoping to get the power from the emperor to dispose of the hermit, the rogue.

Before this letter was submitted, Yun Chu showed it to Di Renjie, Wen Rou, and Liu Renliang respectively.

The three of them applauded in unison, especially Liu Renliang was so excited that he couldn't help himself after seeing this letter, not only signed and sealed this letter, but also personally presented it to the emperor at the court meeting at the beginning of the month.

Li Zhi was silent for a long time after watching the song, even if the giant bear was by his side, there was no joy on his face. So, his dinner was cheaper than the giant bear.

There are hidden households and hooligans in Datang society, Li Zhi knows about this, and he never dreamed that the number of hidden hooligans can account for more than 30% of the registered population of Datang.

Moreover, he also knew that there was another huge group that Yun Chu did not mention in the song, and that was the part.

If the emperor had turned a blind eye to the hermits, the hooligans, a large part of them would have become a subordinate of the nobles.

When the time comes, the Tang Dynasty that Yun Chu said is worried about overturning, and it will definitely appear.

What did Emperor Gaozu rely on to start his business, and how could Li Zhi not know that the loyalty of the tribe to the master was already well-trained, which was far from being comparable to some rebellions of the chaotic people.

Yun Chu's twists and turns cut a cancer in the Tang Dynasty society with a knife, and it was bloodily displayed in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi read Yun Chu's recital again and again, until late at night, after Wu Mei arrived, he still faced the recital and sighed, he thought of several solutions, and finally gave up because of the rat trap.

After getting Li Zhi's permission, Wu Mei watched Yun Chu's recital, and after reading it, Wu Mei was also stunned.

At this moment, her interests are the same as Li Zhi's, Li Zhi's losses are also her losses, Li Zhi's interests are infringed by hidden households and hooligans, and similarly, her interests are also damaged.

After the husband and wife sat in silence in the hall for a long time, Wu Mei tried her best to make her voice calm.

"Your Majesty, King Ji has sealed 10,000 households."

Li Zhi raised his head suddenly, looked at Wu Mei and said, "What do you think?"

Wu Mei said again: "King Han, King Zhou, King Lu, King Shu, King Huo, King Jing are ten thousand five."

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "This is all sealed by Gaozu and Taizong."

Wu Mei said again: "Gaomi, Changguang, Wanchun, Jiujiang, Luling, Wanchun and many princesses, each with five thousand households."

Li Zhi's body shuddered, because Wu Mei was only talking about Gaozu's daughter, and Gaozu had nineteen daughters, except for Princess Pingyang's fiefdom that relied on death battles, the rest were able to obtain five thousand households, but it was only because of Emperor Gaozu.

This is not counting the twenty-one daughters of Emperor Taizong.

Wu Mei picked up Yun Chu's note and pointed to the line of numbers on it and said, "Your Majesty, the Ding mouth on the county household registration is only three million five hundred and eighty-three thousand.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong proposed to change the original county, state, county, and three levels into the current state and county two levels, so that the issuance of government decrees was much smoother. ”

Li Zhi stared at Wu Mei's eyes and said, "Do you want to?"

Wu Mei nodded and said: "Rewarding money is just a temporary pain, rewarding land has become a disaster for all generations, the Tang Dynasty, there should only be a hundred divisions of the court, and then the state and county officials, the more they are cleared, the more accessible His Majesty's decree is."

The concubines thought that this king and that prince would become an obstacle to the issuance of His Majesty's decrees.

Just like the current flood, it is not because there is too much rain but because the river is not well dredged, and if the river is dredged strongly, even the most heavy rain will only be sent by the river to the sea, and will not become a disaster in this pass. ”

Li Zhi grabbed the giant bear's ears and began to knead, he grabbed it very hard, the giant bear snorted dissatisfiedly, and when he saw Li Zhi ignoring it, he lowered his head and let Li Zhi knead, this kind of kneading is far worse than the pain of Yun Chu's bamboo stick hitting his body.

Li Zhi thought about it for a long, long time, while Wu Mei sat in place with a smile, neither of the husband and wife spoke, only the lights on the palace lamps danced to convey light.

The water leak of the timekeeper dripped water droplets into the copper bowl below, making a loud noise.

I don't know how long it took, Li Zhi silently rolled up Yun Chu's fold, sealed it, put it in a brocade box, and then handed it to Wu Mei. "I've given it to you."

After speaking, he got up and left the hall with the sleepy-eyed giant bear, tonight, Li Zhi felt that he might not be able to sleep.

Wu Mei held the brocade box in both hands, glanced back, Li Zhi, who had already left, and then looked back at the brocade box and whispered, "Who to start with?"

The sun finally jumped out of the dark clouds wet, after more than ten days of autumn rain, the cold autumn finally came.

The flood that plagued Qujiangfang had fallen more than a foot, some farmland had come out of the water and turned into a quagmire, and only some finger-long small fish were left in the puddle in the middle, and some of the big fish seemed to know that the catastrophe was coming, and they frantically waged their tails and left the narrow pool, ready to return to the big river, the big river, the big lake.

It's a pity that there are always naughty children who carry bamboo baskets to catch fish, hold them down to death, so that they have no way to escape.

These big fish are generally sent to the Jinchangfang canteen, or the Guangfufang canteen, and finally become a delicacy praised by people.

Yun Chu, who returned home, had been waiting for the sound of the song, but as a result, he didn't wait for it, there was no reward, no scolding, as if he had never been on the song, and the court was quiet and peaceful.

Of course, it was not without good news that the people of Lantian County finally dredged the river, blew up the dammed lake with gunpowder, and relieved Chang'an of being flooded
