Chapter 565 There is no best, only suitable

After everyone digested Qin An's words, Meng Tian spoke: "Sir, what do you mean is that the court situation does not need to be changed, as long as the village chief controls the court well." ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. There is no best policy in the world, and there is no best court, only a suitable policy, a suitable court. Qin An said, "There are too many changes, too fast, and it's not a good thing."

Tell you about something that really happened in history.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a relative named Wang Mang, and the controversy over this person is still arguing to this day, thinking that he is a time-traveler. ”

"What?"

"Traverser?"

"There are traversers?"

Everyone stood up in shock, and they all looked at Qin An in disbelief.

Qin An smiled and waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down: "Don't be so excited, the reason why he is called a traverser is because whether it is something he invented, or something he announced that is too close to modern times."

So there are many people who think that he is a traverser, and the only one who is recognized as a traverser. ”

"There is a traverser as the emperor, so has he established a very powerful dynasty?" Ganro asked eagerly.

Qin An shook his head and said, "You think too much. Although he became the emperor, he did not become an emperor for a few years, and the dynasty collapsed. ”

"Why?" Gan Luo said, "As a traverser, he should have a lot of advanced knowledge like Mr., and these knowledge should be able to benefit the people, how can he lose the country." ”

Qin An sighed and said, "It's just because it's too advanced, so it's not suitable for the environment at that time."

Among them was land reform: Wang Mang promulgated the "Tian Order" and the "Equal Loss Order", which introduced public ownership of land, banned the sale and purchase of land, and redistributed land. He also established the "royal land system", whereby land was distributed to the royal family and nobles, making them the rightful owners of the land. ”

"This is a little different from the land that my husband mentioned before." Ganro said.

Qin An nodded and said: "That's right, there is a big difference, first of all, the public ownership of land, he confiscated all the fields of ordinary people, but he did not make all the land nationalized."

Do you think ordinary people will be convinced? ”

"Not convinced. It's that I'm absolutely unconvinced. Meng Tian said.

"That's right, not convinced." Qin An said, "But they are just fighting small people, how can they fight with the imperial court, so they have to endure if they are not convinced."

Moreover, this system did not distribute the land to the people very evenly, so that the landless people who wanted to cultivate the land had to sell themselves to the nobility.

However, there is another clause in Wang Mang's law that does not allow slaves and maids to be bought and sold, which makes the people who could still be sold into slavery even more have no source of livelihood.

This contradiction accumulated, and the people at this time also hated this Wang Mang.

And the law, in his law really made everyone equal, and he killed several of his sons, all of whom were his own sons.

But at that time, who did not have a selfish heart, especially a large number of nobles and officials, strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with any of them.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, he doesn't understand.

The nobles who were afraid of death, they also began to have a discord with Wang Mang.

Everyone was waiting for an opportunity, a chance for Wang Mang to be defeated, because Wang Mang had soldiers in his hands, so no one dared to contradict him head-on.

In the end, the unpopular Wang Mang was beheaded by a merchant after being defeated. ”

Everyone was silent, and a suspected traverser became an emperor, and in the end, it turned out to be like this.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin An continued: "In general, Wang Mang's policies are very good policies, aimed at resolving social contradictions and achieving social stability and economic prosperity.

But these good policies were not the most suitable policies for the time, because they were too radical and there were many problems in their implementation, which led to the eventual failure of the New Deal.

So I never raised too many policy issues with my father-in-law.

No, it has been mentioned, and that is the abolition of agricultural taxes. But was rejected by the father-in-law. ”

"Abolition of agricultural taxes?"

Everyone spoke out in amazement.

This idea is too bold, and the abolition of agricultural taxes is a good thing for all the people in the world, but it is not a good thing for the imperial court.

The abolition of the agricultural tax means that the peasants do not need to pay grain, and they can grow as much as they want, which is a great thing, but what about the imperial court?

There is no food in the imperial court, so what is used to feed the soldiers?

Even if you have money to buy food, what if people don't want to buy it? Or what if the people sell less?

Seeing that everyone was shocked again, Qin An immediately said: "Don't worry, my father-in-law didn't agree, and it's really too hasty to think about it now."

This matter should be resolved slowly, step by step. ”

"No, it's not, sir. This is not the time to take your time, and the food tax should not be abolished. Ganro said.

"No, the food tax has been abolished." Qin An replied, "Now there are fewer and fewer people who grow food, all of them are contractors or the state." ”

"Why is this happening?" Ganro asked.

"There's a lot going on here. The first is that you can't make much money growing food, and you may lose money. Qin An said.

"How can you lose money growing food?" Ganro asked again.

He felt that his IQ was insufficient, although the people were very hard, especially the farmers who farmed the land, who worked hard all year round and might not have enough to eat in the end.

But it's impossible to lose money, who will do something at a loss.

Qin An immediately said: "You don't believe it, I'll settle an account with you." Let's use the highest yield of 1,200 catties of rice per acre of land.

Fifty catties of rice are worth one hundred yuan, that is, two yuan per catty, that is, two thousand four hundred yuan per acre of land.

This is the most productive time when there is so much money. Rice needs water, and watering it is a hundred dollars at a time. After planting, you have to water at least twice, that is, two hundred.

The profit became two thousand two hundred.

But you don't count the seeds, the good seeds need more than a thousand, and we count a thousand. Then the profit is one thousand two.

If you still need to fertilize, then you need five hundred, and the remaining seven hundred profits.

The profit a year is only seven hundred, which is not counting labor. If a peasant goes out to work and is not afraid of hardship, he can get a salary of 5,000 or even 10,000 yuan.

Comparing the two, how many people do you think there are still people who go to farm? ”

"This ......," Gan Luo was speechless.

"The people don't farm anymore, so what do you eat?" Gan Mao asked.

"The people don't plant, the state planted, and the contractors planted." Qin An replied with a smile.

"Didn't you say they would lose money, so why do they still plant?" Gan Mao asked puzzled.

Some people died, but not completely......
