Chapter 56 "You must have seen the emperor on an errand in the palace, right?"
Liu Wei's goal this time was to visit Cao Cao, but the actual purpose was to inspect the imperial village.
This kind of thing has always been the small royal treasury of every dynasty.
Liu Wei is naturally no exception.
This is also why he proposed to take out the Huangzhuang to the displaced people to Tuntian, but he was strongly opposed by He Jin and the Empress Dowager He, and in the end, he only divided the part of the land between Luoyang and Chenliu.
But even so, it also made him a great increase in popularity among the people in Beijing.
After all, all dynasties have only heard that the emperor used the Huangzhuang to reward the palace people, but they have not heard of any emperor who used the land of the Huangzhuang to support the homeless.
If you want to do something, you can't do it without money.
The emperor's small purse, each of which was tightly covered.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more than 3 million mu of Huangzhuang fields, and this number doubled to more than 6 million mu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan Shi clan was seriously merged, and the imperial village shrank by only about one million acres, and the local tail was too big to fall, and the imperial court had no money, which made one poor emperor after another, and the majesty of the royal family was declining......
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the climate in the north became more and more harsh, and uprisings continued to break out in various places; The southern landlords enjoyed the peace and did not respond, and in the end the 300,000 Manchurians swept away the heroes.
The four words of land annexation are unforgettable.
"There are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class that betrays the class."
Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, and he severely punished corruption, worked hard and thriftily, but left a curse.
The Sima family usurped the throne and became the emperor, and it was naturally difficult to change the style of the family.
Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated by historical limitations, and the short-sightedness of the Sima family was also one of the main reasons for the later decline in people's livelihood and chaos.
Under the shackles of feudal society, no matter how virtuous the emperor is, no matter how capable the ministers and generals are, they may be able to exert great efforts to make the country prosperous and carry out reforms to slow down the outbreak of contradictions, but they cannot prevent the final outbreak of contradictions.
Its practice is nothing more than rewarding cultivation and weaving, and routinely being diligent and thrifty; Require the landlords and nobles to bear more taxes; Bucking the tide and "encouraging" the redistribution of land.
During the Wenjing period, the first type was pursued, which was to make the cake bigger.
During the Liu Xiu period, the "Dutian" was promulgated to restrict land annexation and keep the cake.
Only Wang Mang, a traverser who was sanctioned by the laws of the plane, hoped to use the ancient method of the "well field system" to concentrate the land, and then redistribute the land to the peasants and redistribute the cake.
With these three steps, the difficulty ladder increases, and the last one is even more hellish difficulty.
The stage of making a big cake has always been "the reign of the Ming monarch and the world of great rule", which has been praised by literati and writers.
Once the reform began, it was like "Liu Xiudutian", "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tu Break", "Tang Dynasty Juntian", "Wang Anshi Reform", "Zhang Juzheng a whip", "Yongzheng gentry as a messenger to pay grain, spread into the mu", each of them is the pinnacle of power to promote, and eventually people die and even people have not forgotten the government, and finally they have to be arranged by the "Qingliu celebrities" to compete with the people for profit, and the final evaluation is three or seven open.
As for those who try to betray their own class, try to divide the land equally, try to let the "tiller have his land", do not want to kill all sides to reopen the world, and want to re-divide the cake......
In the past 5,000 years, there are not many people who have such courage, and Wang Mang's fate is a vivid example.
Liu Wei is a real traverser, but he doesn't want to be Wang Mang.
So when He Jin and the Queen Mother jointly opposed, he decisively admitted his mistakes and was as good as a stream.
He was only fifteen years old, and he had twenty or thirty years to live.
These three ladders, he is ready to climb step by step.
The first step is to let the people of the Han Dynasty eat their stomachs first.
This was not an easy task in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when the sky was changing.
……
The Huangzhuang outside Yanshi City is the destination this time.
In order to facilitate the resettlement of displaced people in the vicinity to implement Tuntian, Cao Cao has been running on the Chenliu-Luoyang line during this time, and now the station is Yanshi.
To the west of Yanshi, there are thousands of miles of plains and close to the water, which is the most suitable and fertile place.
The black tiger drove the carriage and ran all the way, and in just one morning, he entered the realm of Huangzhuang.
Due to Liu Wei's order to settle the fields, this year's batch of wheat was planted late, but relying on the fertile land, the growth is also gratifying.
When they arrived, the side of the road was already tasseling and blooming, and the green wheat seedlings were mixed with a faint golden yellow, which made people happy just by looking at them.
"Black Tiger, pull over."
Seeing that there was already a house in front of him, Liu Wei was not in a hurry, but ordered the black tiger to stop.
As soon as the car stopped, His Majesty the Emperor, who was dressed in civilian clothes, jumped out of the carriage immediately, and regardless of the muddy land, went down the ridge in three steps and two steps.
"Be careful, husband."
Tang Ying hurriedly followed behind, carrying the hem of the skirt, but her steps were also light, as if she had been on the ground for a long time.
To be honest, it is not offensive to describe Liu Wei as a non-diligent and indistinguishable body.
As a human being in two lives, this is the first time he has seen Mai Miao.
Before that, he had only seen the golden wheat waves on TV, but he didn't know that the wheat would bloom into lantern-shaped flowers, although it was not fragrant, but it already had a faint wheat fragrance.
Liu Wei came closer, and lightly dug up a wheat plant and put it in his hand.
The wheat did not grow as round and bloated as it was seen on TV in later generations, but it stood proudly, and the wheat grains were clearly and very full, and it looked unruly and wild.
Without the scientific breeding of later generations, it is already very hard for this wheat to grow like this.
Tang Ying behind him took a few steps forward, and also stared at the ear of wheat with Liu Wei.
"This flower is almost off, and in half a month, it should be harvested."
His daughter-in-law said plainly, but Liu Wei was a little surprised, and Tang Ji saw him staring at him stupidly, so he quickly explained: "When I was young, I spent some time in the grange, and my mother-in-law and aunts would always talk about it. ”
Thinking of what happened when she was a child, she was also a little fascinated, and as if she recalled some interesting things, her face couldn't help but turn red.
In that way, Liu Wei was fascinated by it, staring at the daughter-in-law who had grown more and more beautiful in the past six months.
The atmosphere is really a bit ambiguous, but some people don't have long eyes, and people are in a state of interest.
"What are you doing?! Stop it! ”
A slightly old voice in the distance came from far and near, and Liu Wei followed the prestige, and saw two old men running towards this side quickly.
The one who ran in front looked angry, and one of his shoes flew away, and he didn't care.
Liu Wei was also a little embarrassed when he saw that he had been caught, but he deliberately kept a straight face and gestured to the black tiger with his eyes.
Zhao Heihu was also used to it, so he took out a waist card directly from his waist and handed it to the sloppy old man.
Who knew that the old man was also skilled, he didn't take the brand at all, he rushed to Liu Wei in two steps, and snatched the wheat plant in his hand.
He didn't pay attention to the people, so he counted the grains on the ears, dug up the mud from the field, and carefully planted it.
When the slightly better dressed old man in the back saw him, he just smiled and took the sign, which confirmed everyone's identity.
Who knew that after confirming the identity of the person from the palace, the old man recognized Liu Wei at a glance, and asked with a smile:
"Little brother, you must have seen the emperor on an errand in the palace, right?"
Liu Wei was stunned when he heard this, is this to sue the emperor?
Not really, right?
He was stunned here, and it wasn't until the little sister of the Tang family behind him chuckled lightly that he realized that something was wrong......
