Chapter 249 is not broken, not standing
But this land policy is not easy to change, if you don't get it right, it's a stinky thunder, and it shouldn't be blown up, and it also makes a fool of yourself.
Where does food come from?
In the hearts of ancient people, only land was the foundation of survival.
In the same way, no matter how wealthy you are, only land is the measure of the size of a family.
The so-called family wealth and fertile land are an ideal middle-class family standard.
Therefore, they all regard the land as the foundation of their lives, and whoever moves, he will be anxious with whomever he wants.
The timid and fearful people, without land, can still pick up a sickle and hoe to rebel, and the same is true for the family.
It really offended the whole class, they can do anything.
Throughout the long history of feudal society, the land question has never been truly resolved, and it can only be said to be a matter of light and serious.
In the current environment, the issue of land annexation has become a major cancer in society, and the resulting class contradictions are becoming more and more acute.
If it can't be effectively alleviated, then no amount of reform he has done will be in vain, like a floating sand tower, and the foundation is not solid.
But how can land reform be carried out effectively without completely angering the family class? How to grasp the degree of this?
During this period, Liu Zhi consulted a large number of officials in the DPRK and China, and now the new elite faction in the DPRK and China is very active, and most of them are in favor of reform.
And they themselves represent the family, so their opinions are more constructive.
In the end, it was a letter from Chen Yu, the newly promoted Taishan County Guard, which made him suddenly.
Since the end of last year, after Chen Yu was the leader of the imperial examination in high school, he was sent by Liu Zhi to Taishan County to serve as the county commander, which was once the lair of the thief leader Gongsun Ju, and it was also the most severely damaged place in the entire Qingzhou.
Chen Yu's family was poor, and he was an extremely rare Qianshou in the court, and many people were waiting to see his jokes at that time.
But Liu Zhi believes that the more severely damaged the place, opportunities and risks coexist.
If you don't break or stand, whether you can make achievements depends on everyone's ability, not to mention that Li Ying, the county guard of Qingzhou, is also a person who loves the people like a son.
With such a Shangguan as the backing, if Chen Yu can't make a career, it can only be said that his ability is mediocre, and he Liu Zhi looked away.
Fortunately, Chen Yu lived up to expectations, he acted vigorously and resolutely, cooperated with the inspection of the imperial history, and drastically rectified the local officials.
The local officials who are usually greedy and shameless, and the fish and meat towns, are all ruthlessly brushed up.
Taking advantage of the fact that the land documents of the government and the local tyrants were burned by the bandits, the land was re-surveyed and distributed.
Due to the fact that the local people died more in the war disaster, the excess land that was cleared was sufficient for distribution.
The imperial court also issued an edict to exempt the disaster area from taxes, and also distributed relief food to the people, and the government came forward to lend them seeds, which could be offset by hard labor.
Li Ying called on the whole county to overhaul water conservancy, and the amount of labor to be paid was determined by the actual number of acres of land in the family, and the government only had to eat.
In the case of excess labor, a certain amount of wages may be paid, but not in cash, and after being registered, it can be used as a tax credit in the future.
In this way, Qingzhou's water conservancy construction was vigorously launched, and in less than a year, it achieved remarkable results and became the object of imitation by other states.
In addition, the recovery effect of people's livelihood is also good, the sky is pitiful, Qingzhou this year is smooth and rainy, and the autumn grain harvest is bumper, which greatly eases the local finances.
And the county where Chen Yu is located is also the place with the most outstanding achievements in all aspects, Li Ying praised him very much, and especially wrote to the emperor, asking for him to be commended.
Later, Liu Zhi promoted Li Ying to Qingzhou Mu, and Chen Yu naturally became the county guard of Taishan, and the speed of his promotion made people red.
But people's political achievements are clearly there, even if they are red, there is nothing to say, Liu Zhi praised Qingzhou and asked all states and counties to follow suit.
This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the magistrates, who of course did not aim to serve the common people.
It's to be able to make political achievements, get promoted and make a fortune.
But no matter what their reason is, as long as they can meet Liu Zhi's predetermined requirements.
Although he has now begun to carry out patriotic education in schools at all levels, it does not prevent everyone from thinking about it for themselves.
Who is not a layman, the necessary material rewards are still very necessary.
Speaking of which, Emperor Guangwu did a good job in this regard, especially Emperor Zhang of Han, who thought that there were too few low-level officials to support their families, and it was really difficult to keep them from being corrupt in this situation.
Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty has always paid great attention to improving the treatment of officials, and its core idea is to pay high salaries and maintain integrity.
At the same time, the evaluation system for officials is also gradually improving, giving the imperial history the power to participate in the news, and once it is verified, the official will be dismissed immediately.
Those who excel in the assessment will be given commendations such as promotion, over-promotion, increase in rank, knighthood, bounty, portrait, ancestral hall, edict commendation, posthumous title evaluation, posthumous honorary official position, and special treatment from the previous dynasty.
Therefore, the rule of officials during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was relatively good, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it gradually became bad again.
At present, Liu Zhi is taking a two-pronged approach, while vigorously punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and on the other hand, commending those who are honest and honest in government, so as to promote the enthusiasm of officials.
Now that the atmosphere in the whole country has taken a great turn for the better, Liu Zhicai thought about starting an experiment with land reform.
Recently, Chen Yu sent him a recital, which happened to be a lot of proposals for land reform.
There is a sentence that gets to the point, that is, the root of land annexation lies in the sale and purchase of land.
In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu used the large amount of land recovered in the war to distribute it to ordinary civilians, and also lowered taxes.
Fortunately, in the prosperous times, once encountering natural and man-made disasters, in order to survive, they had to sell their fields.
And the commoners who lost their land were either reduced to slavery or outcasts.
It is precisely this that the powerful family also took advantage of, and increased the number of their land and slaves.
After a long time, a kind of normalization has gradually formed, and the land in the hands of the people has become less and less, and the family has gradually become stronger in the process.
But a simple ban on the sale of land will not work either, and will lead to more social contradictions.
For example, if a small person's family suffers a disaster, waiting for money to save his life, and you don't let him sell his land, will the family starve to death?
Buying a field is also the noblest ideal of a rich man in the countryside, and not letting him buy land with money is estimated to be as uncomfortable as ripping his heart.
In the final analysis, it is the mastery of this degree, just like walking a tightrope, if you can't find the right balance, it is easy to capsize.
The land question is an eternal problem, and this is the same even in modern times, and it has been adjusted in the course of continuous exploration and experimentation in order to be more suitable for the current national conditions.
Therefore, copying the policies of any dynasty has drawbacks, and only the most suitable is the best.
But what is the right one?
Liu Zhi has been a marquis since he crossed over, and he became an emperor again in a few days, and he never had the opportunity to really understand the lives of the people at the bottom from beginning to end.
He could only listen to opinions from many sides, and to put it bluntly, it was similar to the opinion polls of later generations, which widely solicited suggestions from all walks of life.
Aggregate research and refinement are then carried out in the hope of developing a land policy that is acceptable to all strata.
Of course, the exemplary policies of later generations are also referenced.
Even though he had only studied middle school history, Liu Zhi was deeply impressed by two land reforms.
The first is the Yongye Tian and Kou Tian system of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the sericulture industry was highly developed, and the Tang Dynasty reopened the New Silk Road, and the demand for silk increased sharply.
Therefore, it was stipulated with Tang Taizong that each Ding would be allocated 100 acres of land after he became an adult, of which 20 acres would be Yongye field, and only mulberry elm and other silkworm trees would be planted.
The other 80 acres are divided into fields, and crops can be planted at will.
The difference between the two is that Yongye Tian is private property, which can be bought and sold at will, and will not be taken back after death.
The ownership of the land belongs to the state, and if the number of people in the family is reduced, it will be forcibly taken back and redistributed to other families.
In the early and middle Tang Dynasty, this policy was maintained, and it also directly created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and achieved peace and prosperity.
By the time of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to increase the revenue of the state treasury, it was changed to rent regulation, which increased the income of the landlord class and the state.
But it also laid hidden dangers for the sharp deterioration of the country's situation after the Anshi Rebellion.
Therefore, the system of dividing the fields and Yongye fields was still very correct in the Tang Dynasty.
The second is the Qing Dynasty's apportionment into the mu system, which spread the Ding silver into the field and levy it, abolishing the previous "poll tax".
The government loosened its grip on household registration, allowing farmers and artisans to move freely and sell their labour.
All local governments shall find out how many acres of land are in each place, and share the tax according to the per mu.
Those who send more than one will have more land, and those who send less will also have land.
The "poll tax" of the Qing Dynasty was equivalent to the "calculation of endowment" and "mouth tax" of the Han Dynasty, that is, taxes were no longer levied according to the population, but according to the number of fields.
In this way, the taxes of the peasants were greatly reduced, while the taxes of the powerful landlords were increased.
To a certain extent, it has alleviated social contradictions, which is very useful, but the only drawback is that it cannot be improved for the current situation of serious land annexation.
Nor can it free a large number of people who have become de facto slaves.
Investigation and research take time, and policy formulation needs to be carefully considered, so there is no rush for a while.
During this period, Liu Zhi devoted more energy to the frontier, first of all, he agreed to the request of Huangfu Gui and others to put Qiantai Bird back.
Behind the scenes, he stepped up the development of parachutes and gunpowder, and with an indestructible weapon, a heavenly danger to the heavenly mountains was nothing in his eyes.
At the same time, a large number of spies were sent to Liaodong, Liaoxi, Wuhuan, Dongqiang, Xiqiang, Xiongnu, Wusun and other places.
The first is to collect local intelligence, the second is to carry out some activities to sow discord, and the third is to carry out some appropriate sabotage.
This is also the routine operation of espionage warfare, and as a modern person, it is natural to understand the huge role that spies play in warfare.
As for the Yulin Army, who has never returned, who would care about it in such a noisy situation now?
Besides, there has been no major war on the side of Bingzhou, and His Majesty the Emperor accepted the letter of surrender from the leader of Wuhuan, Qiantai Bode, and let him go.
The most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor seems to be no longer so enthusiastic about the war, and has been silent.
This made most of the civil servants breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the establishment of the Military Aircraft Mansion, it is just a means for His Majesty to balance the power of the court.
In this way, it has come smoothly to the end of the year, although there were major floods in Yangzhou and Jingzhou during this year, but in general it was barely passed.
And the vigorous rectification of the government also ended perfectly with the big case of Shouzhong Chu in Qingcheng County, Yizhou.
The case caused a sensation throughout the country, knowing that although Qingcheng County is located in the remote southwest, it is on the rich and fertile Chengdu Plain.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qingcheng Mountain area was still a Ze country, and later Taishou Li Bing built the epoch-making Dujiangyan.
Since then, the rich and beautiful Chengdu Plain has been created, and the wealth coupled with the high sky and the emperor is far away, these two favorable factors have also become fertile ground for corruption.
Shuzhong has always been a key area for rectifying the rule of officials, and at the same time, due to the complex geographical situation and the large number of ethnic minorities, it is also a place where wars frequently occur.
Therefore, Liu Zhi attaches great importance to the situation here, you must know that the climate in Shuzhong is pleasant, the people are outstanding, and the status of the world's granary has been neglected.
And because of the strong cultural environment and the birth of many talents, Zhang Ling chose Qingcheng Mountain as his preaching place.
After he got it, he was respectfully called Zhang Daoling, known as the Heavenly Master, and had 100,000 believers in Shu alone.
There are still 200,000 believers in Longhu Mountain and Yangzhou, and if this matter is not handled well, it may lead to a major riot that will sweep the whole country.
Liu Zhi is not averse to orthodox Taoism, and the underdevelopment of science and technology in ancient times will inevitably breed various sects.
But as long as it is a sect that persuades people to do good, he welcomes it, and faith can sometimes be used as a tool of rule.
And it's very easy to use.
Therefore, Liu Zhicai made up his mind to wash away the stigma of Zhang Daoling and thoroughly investigate and deal with the corruption case in Qingcheng County.
Sure enough, the inspection of Yushi and Long Linwei lived up to expectations, the two forces worked together, and in less than two months, the case was investigated clearly.
The mastermind behind this case is the Yang family of the Yizhou family, who have been entrenched in Yizhou for many years, control many important positions, and are still rich in Shuzhong.
Although the imperial court has always paid attention to the fact that the state pastor and the county guards are all sent from other places, they can't stand the other party in the air.
Later, they were either excluded or chose to join the same stream, of course, some people chose to open one eye and close one eye, pretending to be deaf and dumb for their own future.
And Qingcheng County Shou Zhong Chu is the same generation as the Yang family.
This time, the emperor carried out a nationwide purge, and they knew that they could not escape the law, so they racked their brains to think of this trick to lead the water to the east.
On the one hand, the Five Dou Mi Sect was powerful, and it robbed them of a lot of manpower and resources, just taking the opportunity to get rid of them.
On the other hand, of course, it is to frame and divert the emperor's attention, hoping to avoid it.
