Land policy needs to be in line with the current social context, and at least in this period, the equalization system is indeed the most appropriate choice.

Gao Cheng had lunch, refused the invitation of a group of officials, and spent the whole afternoon in his wing, thinking hard about the land policy after the founding of the country.

But in the final analysis, the root cause of the contradiction between man and land is that the rate of cultivated land reclamation cannot keep up with population growth, and no land policy can solve this contradiction.

Gao Cheng, who had nothing to gain, had to change his thinking and change the spearhead of solving the contradiction between man and land from land to population.

Of course, it is not to learn from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to lose more than half of the world's household registration.

He no longer drilled the tip of the bull's horns, and suddenly opened up and solved the contradiction between man and land, which is nothing more than population diversion.

As a liberal arts student, he didn't know much about industry and couldn't do industrialization, but by encouraging and developing handicrafts, he promoted the development of commerce and achieved the goal of population diversion, which was an effective method.

But it just so happened that the idea of taking agriculture as the foundation, commerce as the end, and the idea of the noble capital and the end of the noble capital began to spread widely in the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the government began to issue insulting decrees against the merchants.

The root cause of this is nothing more than years of war, social unrest, and a measure to prevent the diversion of the population by commerce when the agricultural population is not yet able to meet the needs of production.

Thinking about it, Gao Cheng immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Gao Huan again.

In the letter, Gao Cheng explained the contradiction between man and land and Gao Huan clearly, thus proposing that the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce was suitable for the troubled times, but it was not suitable for the Gao regime after the unification in the future.

As a result, Gao Cheng proposed two future national policies to Gao Huan.

The first is to develop Jiangnan in depth and increase the amount of cultivated land.

The water-cooling conditions in the south of the Yangtze River are outside of this, so why wait until the alien race tramples on the Central Plains and crosses the south in clothes before thinking about regressive development.

The seventh national policy is to develop agriculture and commerce at the same time, and the line of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is destined to go far, and agriculture alone is simply enough to withstand the rapid growth of the population.

What Low Cheng has to do is to adjust the commercial tax according to the number of people, whether the population has grown on a small scale, impose heavy taxes on commerce, and when arable land can meet the population growth, reduce the commercial tax and encourage commercial development.

As soon as he thought of this, Low Cheng felt that there was no need to start a debate on the idea of the essence and the end, so that the people in heaven could understand what the contradiction between man and earth was, and reverse the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, which had been deepened since the two Jin Dynasty.

As a low Cheng, it is possible to personally participate in the debate, and I will quickly recruit accompanying staff, such as Gao Jishi, Xing Shao, Wei Shui, etc., and plan to use us as debaters in the future.

Low Cheng also ordered people to invite low Longzhi and Gao Cheng and other civil officials.

A group of cronies were hurriedly summoned to the small hall of the Bohai Royal Mansion in Yecheng.

Low Cheng sat on the throne and asked everyone:

"You think hard today, if I mix up the seven seas, and wait for a long time, the people will decay, the household registration will breed, and the acres of land will be fully distributed, and you will not have any plan to teach you?"

Does anyone think that Low Cheng is daydreaming if he wants to unify the sky, Xiao Liang is rotten, and the Western Wei Dynasty has no heart to cheer up, but he has a weak foundation.

Among the eight forces, the Eastern Wei is the weakest, and now it is in a period of vigorous development, and there is no doubt that the gap between the two sides will take a step back and widen.

In hindsight, Low Cheng really doesn't have a unified posture.

That is another reason why everyone is desperate for Low Cheng.

Whether there is interest or not, how can it retain people's hearts just by showing goodwill.

While the scribes were still pondering, Wen Zisheng, who was guarding the side, was the first to speak:

"The acres of land are sufficient, so they use soldiers in seven directions, and use the swords of soldiers to seize land for farmers."

Low Cheng looked sideways when he heard this, good guy, the north and south are towards Bismarck, and they belong to yes.

Does he Wen Zisheng want to abandon martial arts and become an iron-blooded prime minister?

William VII. Before he could speak, Gao Cheng got up and said approvingly:

"Yes, Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty was so reckless that his household registration was halved, and the people were living a living, almost overthrowing the country, and the little general should take this as a lesson."

Hearing this, Low Cheng said to Gao Cheng:

"Zunyan and sit, Emperor Wu is reckless, if it weren't for Huo Guang and the people to recuperate, there is a continuation of Han Zuo, Cheng or will use troops in seven directions, but he also knows how to sympathize with the people."

said to Jin Meimei again:

"Mobei bitter cold, difficult to cultivate, it is beneficial to increase the acres of land, or can be used to promote animal husbandry, the season style said is not unreasonable, but animal husbandry is more than farming, in the household growth, is different from a drop in the bucket."

Wen Zisheng's speech is suspicious to open up another line of thought for Low Cheng: seize Mobei and Guangxing animal husbandry.

But today, the topic that Low Cheng is determined to be the simultaneous development of agriculture and business, so he will talk about that topic and make the past clear.

And he asked the people,

"Have you gotten anything?"

Gao Jishi saw that his colleagues were all contemplative, so he got up and replied:

"The servant was ordered to make Liang, go to the south of the Yangtze River, listen to the geography and climate, although there are few mountains, but the water network is vertical and horizontal, its climate is cold, the crops are seven crops a year, and the southern Jiaozhou can even be eight crops a year, and the little general has to go to the south of the Yangtze River, or can move the people to reclaim the famine."

Gao Jishi's words surprised a group of northern scholars, crops are ripe eight times a year, what kind of joke is it talking about.

Low Cheng thought deeply about this, I am not a southerner in the next life, in the Song Dynasty, 'Su Lake is ripe, the sky is full' and the Ming and Qing dynasties 'the lake is ripe, the sky is full' The two proverbs can be described as thunderous.

Gao Ji's proposal to develop Jiangnan also coincided with me, but after the unification of the north, I was thinking about Xiao Yan's belongings, and it seemed that there was a lack of Yu Wentai and Xiao Bodhisattva.

"Pengju's words are very good, in the future, the seven seas will be one, and you should take the development of the Jiangnan as the national policy."

Low Cheng took the opportunity to put forward his idea of developing Jiangnan in the future to his cronies, and retracted the theme to the contradiction between man and land:

Then in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the household registration was more than 77 million, and in the last years of Emperor Xuan, it reached more than 70 million. Only 84 years of recuperation, the account is doubled, and the reason why this Cheng is relieved is also.

"Even if the Jiangnan is reclaimed, eighty-four years, the cultivated land is doubled, so as to meet the civil use, another eighty-four years, what should we do? When the cultivated land is not exhausted, and the growth of the household registration is endless, it is enough to reduce the non-troubled times, Cheng and his father have overcome obstacles, and the hard work of entrepreneurship has not achieved today, and the family business of He Ren died because of this. ”

The times are the same, without the presence of those gate lords who have been inherited from the Han Dynasty to the present, it is possible for Low Cheng to say anything about the wealth and nobility of the country.

That kind of rhetoric is to treat the Xianbei nobles of the eight towns of that period, and it is related to those Han people.

Everyone saw that Low Cheng said the antecedent effect so slightly, and they all looked at each other.

At that time, Gao Cheng vaguely grasped the crux of the problem, and I said:

"The little general is worried, there is a non-hukou breeding, waiting for the unification of the sky, how can the little general reform the tax system, follow the example of the Qin and Han dynasties to tax people, and control the growth of hukou."

Family planning? When Low Cheng heard Gao Cheng's suggestion, his first reaction was not to think of that word.

While low Cheng was annoyed that the topic was delayed in developing towards the simultaneous development of agriculture and commerce that he expected, he also couldn't help but feel that the idiom of brainstorming was really wrong.

That's a little less nervous than drilling the horns yourself.

It's too late, stay up all night tonight to write, and I will definitely send you at least 6,000 words before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if you can't do it, you won't ask for a monthly pass next month.
