Let the meat eaters bleed, Lu Zhi also thought about this kind of thing.

When he realized the problem of land annexation in Jizhou, he thought of a solution to the problem for a moment.

The problem will be solved by holding the occupants of the land accountable and killed, and their land will be restored to the public ownership of the imperial court, and then distributed to the landless.

A very simple set of operations, which was also done at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

But then he thought about the difficulty of doing so.

If this is so easy, with Liu Xiu's talent, how can he stop it halfway?

"Let the meat eaters bleed······

Lu Zhi sighed very much, and said slowly, "How easy is it to let the meat eaters bleed? They are all very powerful people, and even if they don't live for a while, but only attack the slaves, there will be many people who will resist."

"The people who will rebel against me for this will definitely rebel against me when they wait for Dutian, so kill them first now, and when they wait for Dutian, the power to oppose me will be much smaller."

Liu Bei smiled, "At that time, the pressure on the teacher and me will be less, won't it?"

In addition to natural and man-made disasters, we lost our land and property, sold ourselves into slavery, and together with our land, became the slave owner, and the slave owner used various ways to conceal the land income, and took advantage of it, and the taxes that should have belonged to the imperial court were seized little by little.

Lu Zhi was well aware of the limitations of that era, but since I hadn't reached the point of being a man in the sky, how could I rest on my laurels and lie down peacefully?

Therefore, even the officials in the Little General's Mansion were not worried about Lu Zhi's decree.

"Xuande, Xuande, if you take one step or two steps, my teacher is not an opponent at all in front of you.

"It's not a good road, but teacher, you also want to go my own way.

The little general Peng Maoyu raised his hand to speak.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, "What else can I say? I can only say that you should be careful in everything, even if the army you pull up is really strong, but you must also be cautious, there are still many things in the world that cannot be decided by the military."

"Xiaoxian said very badly, the reason for the small number of slaves is whether the imperial court has issued a slave restriction order, but there is food to eat, and there is a way to stop those who have food from selling themselves into slavery, so what you really have to do is to let those slaves have no food, and we will go to be slaves.

I decided to set out to solve the slave problem in the Han Empire, and to use this as a fulcrum to leverage the basic plate of the Han Empire and end my own path of in-depth reform.

If you really want to investigate, even if the families and clans of those subordinates in the little general's mansion can't find out the problem,

What should we do when Comber asks us to make a choice?

"According to the latest estimates, what is uncertain is that the total number of official slaves and private slaves in the entire Little Han Kingdom together exceeds four million, accounting for less than one-tenth of the total population of the Little Han Kingdom, and the vast majority of those outside are private slaves.

"General, the number of slaves is low, and the reason is not whether the imperial court has issued a slave restriction order, but whether a small number of people have a livelihood and can only be forced to sell themselves as slaves, surely that problem is solved, and the released slaves have food, even if the civil registration is restored for a while, they will still go back to continue to be slaves."

So I'm able to lie flat and I have to toss up and try to do something.

Those freed slaves will be re-organized into the households of the annexed state, and we will be granted land so that we can live again in the annexed state, which can be regarded as a practical policy for immigrants in a certain sense, and it will be rare in one fell swoop, what do you think?"

So that time, in conjunction with the recovery of the state, you wanted to restore the production and construction of the state, and the number of local households in the state was extremely scarce, and you could afford to undertake the work of resuming the construction, so you decided to launch a slave release operation in the local area of the state, Hachihe, Bafu and Hongnong counties, and use the slaves released in those areas to fill the lack of households in the state.

So Mao Jue spoke boldly.

It is also strange for Lu Zhi to say that, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu once issued an edict to restore the civil registration of those who had been sold into slavery because of bankruptcy, and tried his best to limit the number of slaves

。

Moreover, it is of course a bad thing to put it in the state to live again, which is equivalent to waste utilization, and it does not help to rejuvenate the state.

"Yes, yes."

"What the little general said is not full of the current wind of slavery?"

But the fundamental reason for the lack of slaves is that it can be solved with a paper slave restriction order, and the small family is vague about that point.

It is inconceivable that such a small number of people would be reduced to slavery, but would be cultivated under the land, which would cause a small damage to the national tax revenue, and more importantly, a considerable part of those slaves were in compliance with the law.

Lu Zhi nodded and pointed at Mao Jue to criticize.

Before communicating with Liu Bei, Kong Bo sent someone to gather the subordinates of the Little General's Mansion and openly discussed with us the idea of the slave issue.

If you want to talk about feasibility, in fact, there is still no, with Lu Zhi's current military prestige and political prestige, is it still a big deal to want to get a group of slaves?

"In that case, what is the little general going to do?

According to the regulations of the imperial court, there were 700 slaves and maids of the princes, 100 princes and princesses, and 80 marquis and officials of Guannei, but in the case of the king of Hejian after that, a king did not have more than 1,700 slaves serving me, which was more than eight times the lower limit stipulated by the imperial court.

But the question is, if we really have to do it according to the amount stipulated by the imperial court, will it cause some losses to people from all walks of life and even ourselves?

You can't assume that it is not an example, it must be widespread in the entire Xiaohan Kingdom, and almost all the people who have no power have that kind of problem, more or less, and that kind of situation can definitely be contained, and it will only be more exciting.

Lu Zhi stated his true purpose and asked Xiaojia to help me assess the feasibility of that matter.

"Of course, it is the following Son of Heaven, following the example of Emperor Guangwu, to edict the release of those who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery due to bankruptcy."

Thinking that I am just a special person, lying flat like this is lying flat, the sky is my heaven, and it is my turn to point fingers, and I lie down with a little confidence.

Lu Zhi hurriedly said: "Once a Shuren becomes a slave, he is no longer a citizen of Xiao Han, and his production also needs to pay taxes for Xiao Han, just give it directly to the slave owner, then the fewer slaves, the richer the slave owner, and the worse the court taxes.

Cheng Yu was clearly aware of the purpose of Lu Zhi's speech.

With or without taxes, how can the Xiaohan court still operate? Where did you come from? Where does the army's military spending come from? Where did the money come from to repair the walls and rivers? There will definitely be no day when the court will pay you all the money, is this a small fallacy in the desolate sky?"

The small family is vague, and a few people are clean under the slave problem.

But I am now a little general, a little general above one person and under ten thousand people, a little general who is responsible for the entire Han Empire.

Is that the actual situation of the hundred teenagers after that? Of course, if we say that those slaves were prisoners of war and criminals, it would be fine, this is our sin that we do not deserve, but in fact, the smallest number of slaves is still the landless and bankrupt households.

Even if there is something wrong with our own family, can we still have a problem if we are small enough to make it a whole family?

You can always cut at your own people, right?

After Lu Zhi finished saying that, the subordinates in the Little General's Mansion had different faces, and they exchanged heads and ears with each other, obviously reacting to that matter relatively small.
