Zhuge Jue has been in Taishan County for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the local situation, especially the situation of the fields.

After that, he asked people to go to Taishan County to investigate and update the situation in the past two years.

Today's Taishan County has been divided relatively early, and a considerable number of people in the area have already been allocated land during the period of Zhang Chong Liji Taishan County.

After Zhang Chong led the Taishan army out of the long spoon, officially began to attack the south of central Lu, and with the victory of the Han army several times, the Taishan army in Guanghe five years, Guanghe six years between the Laiwu Valley, Liangfu Valley and the Luzhong Plain successively divided the land.

And according to the level of 100 acres per household, it is distributed to all local leaders.

At that time, the policy of equalizing land greatly stimulated the production enthusiasm of the Qianshou, who got up early and worked hard, hoping to get a good harvest on their own land.

Therefore, after two years of hard work, the lives of the leaders of the households in the central and southern regions of Shandong have been greatly improved.

First of all, the vast majority of the former abject poverty lived the life of yeoman farmers in the past, and their living standards were better than those of Zhang Chong's family back then.

After all, when the land was divided, a large number of families went out one after another in order to divide more land, unlike Zhang Chong's family, there were six people in a household, and life was tight.

Now these households drink millet porridge in the morning, deliver millet rice to the field stalks at noon, and have another meal of millet porridge in the evening. What is a good day to have three meals a day?

These poor haha's people can't even think about it.

Even farming is easier than before, and it used to be a wooden rake, and the old energy could not be plowed. And now? There are iron ploughs and rakes in the community, and they are equipped with large animals, and the ploughs are fast.

Of course, there is a problem here, because these things are loaned to them by the society, and then they have to collect grain from the harvest.

However, there are strong and weak people, virtuous and foolish, and there are still some sub-landowners who sell and lease these lands to others because of lack of sufficient labor, or because of illness, or simply laziness.

And there is another change that Zhang Chong expected at the beginning. At least I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

That is, these wealthy sub-farmers themselves began to invite field guests and raised servants, and their style was no different from the land in the past.

Why is this happening?

It turned out that with the chaos in the world, the county magistrates of various places began to do their best to organize troops, either for hegemony or for self-protection.

This trend cannot be stopped by a few virtuous local magistrates, because this is the process by which bad money drives out good money.

Yes, you have high morals, you love the people like a son, and you can't bear to levy taxes on the people.

But the county magistrate next door to you is not, he is cruel and cruel, sweeping the floor as a soldier, and he doesn't want to live at all, so he sends troops to occupy you.

Then the good ruler dies or dies, and the rest is the tyrannical Lord.

And now Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Qingzhou and other places are similar to this situation. Each is called long, and there are many people who are called captains.

At this time, Lu Zhongnan, which still maintained a stable order, naturally became a happy land for the leaders of the surrounding areas, so in the past three years, a large number of people have begun to migrate to this area, how many people are there? Although no one counts it, this number is indispensable since every family began to hire field customers.

Because most of the land in central and southern Lu has been divided, these outsiders who fled to central and southern Lu almost had only one way out.

In this way, the peasant households in central and southern Lu have been transformed into lands with houses, fields and apprenticeships in just three or four years.

The speed of this was much more than anyone who had come up with the policy had anticipated.

Originally, when Zhang Chong was planning the field administration, he also considered the actual situation of each family, so he encouraged the community to implement the form of mutual assistance and help the poor households in the society to get rid of poverty.

But as life conditions have improved, this thinking has changed.

Zhuge Jue learned from the old officials that this kind of mutual assistance almost existed in name only.

This old official gave Zhuge Jue two reasons, one is that the cohesion between the Li Society is very poor, and the other is that everyone's minds have changed.

Originally, the local Li Society was based on clans, and although they also continued to divide households, they also lived in clusters.

But when the Taishan army was dividing the fields before, in order to break the foundation of the local tyrants, they all scattered the households and settled them into a society.

Although this kind of resettlement has dissolved the foundation of the local tyrants, it has also dissipated the relief capacity between the village communities. Those who are lonely, poor and weak, have no one to help at all, and can only fight against poverty.

And this change in the grassroots structure has naturally changed everyone's mentality.

Some of them are endowed and hard-working, and they have a little relationship, and they soon developed in the starting point of this kind of average field.

They are bent on occupying more land and hiring more tenants, and only regard this equal development opportunity as the best period for the family to make a leap, so how can they have the time and energy to help those who are backward.

In their eyes, those people are lazy and arrogant, and they will take advantage of them wherever they help.

It is also true that many of these people were blind streams in the township back then, and they did not produce. After dividing the field, he didn't want to take care of it, so he borrowed it everywhere to live.

And these people are still a little related, knowing that some of the communities at the eastern foot of Taishan have returned to poverty before, so they have begun to divide the land again.

These people estimate that this policy will soon be spread in the central and southern regions of Shandong, after all, it is said that the second leader of the Taishan Army who implemented this policy is still not stable?

So these people have no fear, and they didn't think about repaying it at all, after all, didn't their debts disappear because of the arrival of the Taishan army?

All of the above are all things that Zhuge Jue learned from many officials in Taishan County, and they are all reliable and down-to-earth officials.

It was the all-round understanding that made Zhuge Jue undecided.

Because he understands that if it is determined from the morality of good and evil in the Spring and Autumn Period, there are good people on both sides and bad people on both sides.

For example, those farmers who work hard to make a good living have to take away their land again and give it back to him?

For another example, those Qianshou of Taishan County are Qianshou, so aren't those who fled from the surrounding counties Qianshou? Just because they came late, they will be tenants with others?

For example, those who are only weak, orphaned, sick and disabled, don't they want to work hard, but the reality is that they have to sell their land and return to poverty?

Therefore, Zhuge Jue, a traditional Hanshi, can't solve this problem, and he also knows that this is a matter of land, so he is too sensitive and does not dare to express his position.

However, in his heart, starting from the instinct of a follower, he did not want to continue to divide the land. Because that's too much of a toss, and every toss is not good for the top and bottom.

The upper is the opportunity to exploit the people, and the lower is the possibility of becoming someone else's fish.

Therefore, at this time in the front hall, Zhuge Jue twisted this thin book and couldn't settle down for a long time.

But fortunately, there is no need for Zhuge Jue to continue to entangle, someone has spoken.

But it was our Zhang Chong's father-in-law, the conscience of the Han family, Cai Yong spoke.

As soon as the old man slapped the table, he began to squirt:

"I thought that Yun Chang was a perfect person, and the famous generals of the ancients were inferior, but I didn't expect that the first time I took office, I would eat the people, shameful."

As he spoke, he stood up from the mat and said to Zhang Chong:

"Your Majesty, such a marshal is the pillar of my Taishan army, and it is even more necessary to strictly enforce the law. Please ask the king to take away his scarf, escort the car back to Yecheng, and hand it over to Yousi. ”

Listening to Cai Yong's words, Zhang Chong's face darkened at that time.

Good guy, as soon as Cai Yong came up, he was going to be strict with the number two person in the military, if these people present didn't know that the old man was such a person, they might feel that there was something special in it.

And this really has to be done according to Cai Yong, and those generals outside may wonder if you are already dealing with them.

So Zhang Chong hurriedly stopped Cai Yong's play and said:

"Cai Gong, you sit down first, speak slowly, don't rush."

Zhang Chong opened his mouth, and Cai Yong sat down at this time, but he just sat down, and he said:

"This Guan Yunchang must be handled strictly, the people have finally lived a good life for a few years, and they hate such tyrants, our Taishan Army is the one who understands the people best, and it should also be the biggest backer of the Qianshou, if Guan Yu is not dealt with strictly, our hearts will be greatly disappointed."

What Cai Yong said still provoked a refutation from one person in the end.

The one who speaks is the chief subordinate, and he is full.

Du Man and Cai Yong are New Year's friends, but this will still inevitably ridicule:

"Cai Gong, some people are called Qianshou, but let's not really be the head of Qian. Which Qianshou still raises apprentices and Tianke? ”

Cai Yong wanted to talk again, but Du Man blocked him with words:

"Okay Cai Gong, your suggestion is very good, but wait for you to discuss it together before you mention what is strict or not, after all, don't wronged the other people."

Cai Yong's face was flushed, but he also knew that his political insight was not as good as Du Man, and when he said this, the conviction just now was a little loose.

Seeing that the topic was back to normal, Zhang Chong clicked on Zhuge Jue in the field:

"Zhuge Qing, you have served in the Yitai region before, and you have always understood the situation there. Tell me what you think about the impeachment letter. ”

Here, Zhang Chong did not ask him to express his position first because Du Man spoke, which is a more intelligent means.

Because Du Man is the chief of Menxia Province, almost the head of the secretaries, his statement almost has a huge impact, and it is not suitable to speak at the beginning.

And over there, Zhuge Jue, who was named, felt bitter, but still expressed his opinion calmly.

This is Zhuge Jue, I have thought of it in all aspects, but I still do not change my original intention.

So, he bowed his head and replied:

"Your Majesty, because it is related to the conflict between the Marshal of the Left Army and the central and southern parts of Lu, these two sides are the key pillars of our army in the Central Plains, and our army's subsequent southward attack on the Central Plains must be coordinated by the Taishan region. And during this critical period, the Taishan area is best to calm down. The king can let Guan Shuai Chen Shu confess first, and then decide. ”

Zhang Chong nodded, agreeing with Zhuge Jue's opinion.

Although Zhuge Jue said it tactfully, it also gave Guan Yu a chance to Chen Bai, but in fact, his position is very clear, that is, Mount Tai must be stable now, and even if there are other problems, they must retreat.

With Zhuge Jue speaking, Tian Feng under him also considered his own opinion:

"Your Majesty, the top priority of our Taishan army is to quickly stabilize the mountains and rivers, and the army and soldiers must rely on grain and grass first, so it is even more important to calm the heart of Li Shu and let them stabilize production. Although our army divided the land to relieve the poor. But up to now, whoever can produce food stably will support our army. From this point of view, even if there is a tendency to become a local tyrant in the Taishan area today, it is acceptable. And this shows that the development of the Taishan area is very fast. ”

Tian Feng is a northerner, and he naturally has a sense of detachment from the things in the Taishan area, but his words are not untargeted, but intentional.

He was actually testing how the king looked at the current Hebei heroes.

In the past, the Taishan army practiced a policy of confiscating all land and dividing it equally, including both the strong and the land, as well as those small yeoman farmers.

But later, in order to quickly pacify Hebei, the Taishan army adjusted this policy, but let the landlord hand over half of the land, and the rest of the mixed land was distributed to the head of Qian.

It was under the adjustment of this policy that Hebei quickly stabilized, and the small and medium-sized heroes also began to regard the Taishan Army as an existence that could be cooperated.

But these people, or everyone, have a doubt, that is, whether this policy exists temporarily, and whether it is done to temporarily stabilize the powerful people.

So Tian Feng tried to express an opinion.

That is, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, whoever can pay food to the Taishan Army will support us. And those powerful landowners can also pay grain and support, even more than those who are handed over, and they also support.

Then do you say that people like Tian Feng are the mouthpieces of the Hebei clan, and they want to speak for those people? Yes, but not much, Tian Feng himself values the way of the Holy Monarch more, and he wants to assist Zhang Chong to complete the great cause of rebuilding mountains and rivers.

Treating Tian Feng as Hao's right mouthpiece is too much to look down on him.

In fact, Tian Feng's idea is not his own, and many people in China agree with this statement.

This group of people felt that the most urgent task was to quickly stabilize the order of the world, rather than simply to relieve the poor. They also knew that the strength of the Han family lay in the annexation of land, so they also agreed to a certain degree of land redivision.

For example, for the Hebei heroes, it is also painful for them to divide half of the land, but it is generally believed that as long as it is recognized by the Taishan Army, it is worth it.

Why?

Because these people have no doubt that the most powerful person to dominate the world now is the Taishan Army. And once the Taishan Army is the lord of the world, then they are the ministers of Congyuan, and they can be as Guangwu as they were back then, so that the Hebei families can earn the wealth of the next twelve generations.

Isn't it just half of the field, give!

These are all Tian Feng's meanings, and did Zhang Chong hear the words, of course he heard it.

It's nothing more than that, whether it's Haoqiang or Qiantou, those who can pay grain are good people.

But is this what Zhang Chong wants?

He just snorted coldly in his heart and didn't say anything.

Not long after Tian Feng finished speaking, He Kui, who was in the second seat, spoke. He himself is both a scholar and a farmer, and he can understand both sides, but he supports Qianshou more.

So for what Tian Feng said, he still refuted a few words:

"Our Taishan army uses the ambition of the Yellow Sky to do the right thing for the sky, which is to sweep away this injustice. If according to what Tian Gong said, it is good for anyone who can pay the grain, then how can the leaders of the Qianqian be worthy of the powerful and powerful? According to this reason, does our Taishan Army want to call the shots for Haoqiang? If this is the case, it is a betrayal of the Qianshou who trusts us, and a betrayal of those who have sacrificed for our great cause. ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he didn't dare to refute it, but just sighed and accepted this statement.

Sure enough, there is still one of the most difficult paths to take.

After criticizing Tian Feng a few words, He Kui said something else to Zhang Chong:

"Your Majesty, I have tasted that fast is slow, slow is fast, sometimes we have to talk fast, and sometimes we have to talk slow. And now that the Han family is shattered, and the world is competing for deer, it can't be slowed down at this time. Because once it grows, the hearts of the people in the world will be their masters, and this battle will be difficult to fight. This is why Guangwu is fighting for the world quickly, but Qin has to fight for the rest of the sixth. ”

Zhang Chong was listening.

"Therefore, in order to win the world quickly, we need to unite everything that can be united as much as possible, such as the new lands in the Taishan area, and the heroes of Hebei. These people are on our side, and they are forces that can be leveraged. After our army wins the world, it will be simmered carefully, which is slow kung fu. ”

So He Kui's suggestion is one sentence:

"You can't slow down the world, and you can't rule the world fast."

Honestly.

But some people don't agree with this truth.

He is the Ministry of Finance who has always been silent.

Yan Zhuang pointed out one point very keenly:

"How can the rich peasants of Mount Tai be confused with the Haoqiang of Hebei?"

He said to He Kui:

"The rich peasants of Mount Tai received the great favor of our army and regarded our army as their parents, so they donated their children, abandoned their clothes and silks, and lost to the army. There is a positive comparison between our army and them, that is, the love of fish and water. But what about Hebei Haoqiang? In the past, there was the crime of resisting our army, and there was also the fact of arbitrariness. If it is not completely eradicated, this Hebei will not be able to settle down. ”

Yan Zhuang's words made Tian Feng's face change slightly in the last row, but the latter still didn't speak.

After that, Yan Zhuang talked about his own job:

"After half a year's investigation of each field group in Jiyou and Youzhou, we can roughly draw such a conclusion. That is, only two hundredths of the population is strong, occupying six points of the land, plus eight hundredths of the small land, it can reach eighty. Ninety percent of the remaining ones are Qiantou and tenant households, who work on the remaining twenty percent of the land, and contribute seventy percent of the harvest to the local heroes every year. As for the rest, there were apprentices and serfs who had no land, and they lived and died as the main generals, and could only work in the fields all day long, and could not get a single meal. ”

Yan Zhuang finished talking about this data and was categorical:

"If you don't get rid of these silverfish now, will you wait until these people's children are mixed into the place, and then do it?"

For a moment, the subordinates present were silent.

It was only at this time that the chief Du Man spoke, and he agreed with Yan Zhuang, completely ignoring the fact that this person had just refuted a subordinate seat, and said:

"Okay, Yan Shangshu is good. We should talk more about this reality and less about opinions. Otherwise, no one will be able to convince anyone. ”

When he saw Zhang Chong looking at him, he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, I think the advice of the princes is very good now. Personally, I am also in favor of the rich self-cultivated households in Taishan County, because these people have contributed to our army and are staunch supporters of our army in the local area, so we cannot chill their hearts. Moreover, even if the surplus land of these people is harvested, it will not really solve the problem of this division. Therefore, my personal opinion of the yeoman farmers is that the political affairs hall still wrote to Guan Yu on the front line, asking him to slow down in this regard and devote more energy to consolidating the military of the front line. Recently, military reports have been sent from various places, and the forces around central and southern Shandong are all vigorously fighting their troops, and at this time, it is still necessary to give priority to the military. ”

Zhang Chong was suspicious, but he didn't expect that he had privately said to him the year before last that he would re-equalize the land, but he would start to oppose it.

But he didn't speak.

Then Du Man said:

"As for the treatment of the Hebei family, everyone's opinion is relatively unanimous, that is, the side couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly. For their generation, it is time for our army to close the net. ”

These two words simply spoke to Zhang Chong's heart. But for this transformation of Du Man, Zhang Chong's heart is a little complicated, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

Seeing that all the public had no objections, Zhang Chong said the last words:

"Now we are in an intermediate period, because of the rapid expansion of the past two years, we are temporarily unable to go south to the Central Plains. And this point will inevitably be used by the princes of all walks of life in the Central Plains, who will either form alliances, or annex each other, or even encircle and annihilate our army's base areas in the central and southern Shandong and Heji regions. If the redistribution of the yeoman kulaks under his rule were to be adopted at this time, it would inevitably lead to local chaos, and the armies would hesitate. When the time comes, the internal and external difficulties will be difficult, and Hebei will have no spare strength to support, and the base areas in the Central Plains will be in danger. ”

"Another point is strategic, the most important task of our army at present is to sweep away the powerful and powerful under its rule, complete the internal distribution of land, stabilize production, and establish and reorganize local organs at the commune, township, and county levels. At this stage, the rich self-cultivators, especially our own land-dividing households in the old areas, must protect them even more, so that their generations will not be confused by the powerful and powerful. ”

"But even so, there are still constraints on the rich who have cultivated themselves. A moment ago, the palace secretary planned to send an edict to Fenggao's Yunchang, asking him to take back the leased land that exceeded the original quota to the counties. The fields were then distributed among the displaced people. If there is not enough land, the displaced people will be relocated to Hebei, and the counties in Hebei will distribute the land in a unified manner. ”

Looking at the people below, Zhang Chong said something like this meaningfully:

"In short, if you don't work, you can't eat, we just pulled off the one that was riding on the head, and we can't sit on the head of someone else."

And this sentence naturally also determines the treatment method of Taishan self-cultivated farmers.

That is, 100 acres per household is a baseline, and if it exceeds this number, one household will not be able to cultivate, and it will definitely have to be tenanted to others.

And this kind of thing of lying on other people's labor and eating the ground, Zhang Chong does not allow it. Therefore, if there are more than 100 acres, they must be recovered and redistributed to those who have no land.

The seven ministers below all listened carefully to Zhang Chong's words, and it was obvious that these words would be used as a method for the Tian administration of the Taishan Army for a long time.

As for how long this time is, no one knows, and maybe Zhang Chong doesn't know.

But at least, the problem of the self-cultivated rich peasants in Taishan and the Haoqiang in Hebei have also been solved because of this discussion in the front hall.

The reform of the superstructure made this decision quickly distributed to all counties, and a big action was about to be launched in the land of Hebei.

Support the monthly pass, and there is a little bit of a monthly pass of more than 1,000.
