Chapter Ninety-Eight: Understanding
But Liu Xun is different, although he is also a child of the family, but firstly, he comes from later generations, and he is very mature in the ideology and theory of suppressing the family, and secondly, he has cut off the inextricable ties with the family when the Lujiang army was reformed. At that time, Liu Xun and the Shi clan had already torn their faces.
"For example, today's situation can be said to be a super-large scholar clan in the area. For example, Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, is the No. 1 Dashi clan in Tianzi, and they are all a large group of small and medium-sized Shi clans, following a Dashi clan. As for me, Liu Xun, there is actually no support from the scholars, as long as the people can support me, I will not fail.
There must be reform, and there must be victory. In the process of reform, it can be a little softer. Of course, if the illegal gains are not only to be confiscated to the public, but also to punish them. Even if the owner does not agree, all the scholars in the world will rise up to resist, and Lao Tzu will have to force it. Liu Xun clenched his fists, very firm.
As for the resistance of the scholars, Liu Xun didn't care about it at all, after all, it was useless for them to be bullish, the power of the people was infinite, and it was necessary to know that those who won the hearts of the people won the world.
Moreover, in this troubled era, only the army is the most reliable foundation for survival, and everything else is false. As for the army, the officers in the past may have been controlled by a family, but now it is different, his army, whether it is a high level or a middle level, is basically composed of civilians. And the land reform is undoubtedly more acceptable to these civilians. And this army is already very stable in Liu Xun's hands.
Therefore, Liu Xun's birth is a special case, Liu Xun has the prerequisite for the Dashi clan to open the knife and obtain the power of the people.
And princes like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have deep roots. Even if they wanted to reform the land, return the land to the people, and win the support of the people, they could not do so. To put it bluntly, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not have this condition, and they did not dare to break the cauldron and oppose the Shi clan, so how many of his subordinates were not from the Shi clan?
And if Liu Xun returned the land to the people, not only would it not conflict with his rule, but it would bring him more taxes.
Moreover, this kind of reform is the only way to centralize power, and the loss of land means the loss of everything. And as a monarch, you have more control over the place.
And this kind of reform should be sooner rather than later, and it is obvious that the strength of the scholars in several counties is much easier to deal with than the strength of the scholars in one country. This is definitely the most effective means of centralizing power at the moment! Thinking of this, Liu Xun couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Now that Liu Xun, the emperor of the soil, has made a decision, things are naturally much easier. As a result, a vigorous cultivator Youqitian led by Liu Xun is about to kick off.
Of course, at the same time, Liu Xun naturally did not dare to fall behind in the preparation of the army, after all, time was pressing, and the army took a break while reforming, and when the warship was created, he had to continue to the next goal, which was to meet Sun Quan.
Liu Xun proposed that the land ownership system of the scholars be abolished and replaced with a land ownership system for peasants.
The surplus land of the nobles was confiscated and distributed to the landless or landless peasants to cultivate, and at the same time, the nobles were given their share of the land that they should have been entitled to, so that they could cultivate it themselves and support themselves. If you can't plant it yourself, you can hire people to plant it, but you must be paid for your labor, and you can't exploit the people.
If this reform can be realized, agricultural production will be better developed in Liu Xun's territory in the future, and more strength will be accumulated for him to dominate the world in the future.
In addition, Liu Xun also proposed the policy of preserving the poor economy. The poor family here is actually a down-and-out clan. In this way, it was possible to isolate the nobles in favor of the restoration and development of production, as well as social stability.
On the other hand, Liu Xun is ready to improve the treatment of the soldiers who kill the enemy for him. When the reform is implemented, Liu Xun will inevitably have a wide range of financial resources, and it should not be a problem to raise the military salaries of soldiers and soldiers.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in Liu Xun's territory, and the peasants were chattering, not knowing whether it was true or not, but they were full of eagerness for the division of land. This won Liu Xun too much popular support. The soldiers were naturally excited, eager to kill all the families who dared to block the reform for their lords.
And the scholars panicked, they didn't believe it was true.
And the generals saw the determination of the lord to implement land reform, in these Jiangdong counties, Liu Xun is the "emperor", and those who resist him will definitely die. And the policy implemented by Liu Xun is so popular with the people, it is bound to succeed. Therefore, as Liu Xun's subordinates, they all support their father-in-law's decision.
Of course, the nobles should also have land, and how much land is allocated according to the population of the family. Liu Xun was not going to force them to a dead end, and the old family left them about five times as much land as ordinary people. With these lands, they can still live very nourishingly.
And it is worth mentioning that Liu Xun only divided the land, not the money and goods, which has left a way back for the scholars.
If they don't know the times, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Moling Taishou Mansion
After a few days of dissemination, Liu Xun's reform method seemed to occupy wings, and in a short period of time, it has basically become known to everyone.
On this day, Liu Xun summoned Wenwu in the chamber of the mansion. Sure enough, the military attachΓ© was enthusiastic about the reform, while the attitude of the civilian government was intriguing.
Soon, Zhang Brown and Deng Qiang, who were in charge of collecting intelligence, sent information from all sides, and Liu Xun made a summary of this.
Discontent among county officials is growing. On the contrary, they support Liu Xun, and basically every soldier supports Liu Xun. Liu Xun is a little difficult, after all, force is easy to solve, but culture is a hard injury, where will there be so many talents in a few years of development. If you kick out all the officials at this time, how should you govern this huge land? β
"If it is fully promoted, I am afraid that it will encounter considerable resistance. It is better to carry out a pilot project first, which can deter the scholars in various counties. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Xun decided to carry out the pilot first, and then he would lead the noodles with points.
After all, there are many advantages of the pilot project, first, it will not cause a big mess, second, it will find out the deficiencies from this practice, and third, it will provide rich experience that is conducive to the comprehensive reform in the future.
Liu Xun waved his hand and prepared to take the lead in Lujiang County, where his foundation was relatively stable. He quickly settled all the matters of Moling, and temporarily let Gan Ning serve as the Taishou of Moling. And he himself returned to Lujiang non-stop.
After returning to Lujiang County, Liu Xun didn't care about resting and found Liu Panjin.
In the hall, Liu Xun told Liu Panjin what he thought.
Liu Panjin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Lord, although your idea is good, but it must be difficult to implement, Lord, you can think about it carefully, the strength of ordinary people is not the opponent of the Shi clan at all?" During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not insignificant, but the huge Yellow Turban Rebellion was encircled and suppressed by the scholars. Isn't the power of this family intuitive enough? β
Although Liu Panjin is reasonable, for Liu Xun, of course he knows that the power of the people is strong. Liu Xun said without thinking: "All the changes of dynasty started with farmers. And the Yellow Turban Rebellion was just because there was no correct leadership, otherwise, it was enough to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty, let alone a mere family. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army is fundamentally different from this Taishou, after all, the Yellow Turban Army has corrupted military discipline, whether it is a scourge like the scholars or the common people, how can it be supported by the common people in this way. So think about it with your ass and you will know how he ends. β
Liu Panjin was stunned for a moment when Liu Xun said this, "Lord, what do you think of Wang Mang?" β
Liu Xun couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself that the master would be the same as Wang Mang in the later generations. Liu Xun said with a straight face:
"Pan Jin, I will definitely succeed in reform. I am not Wang Mang, I have deduced my own reform, and I will definitely succeed. And I started from a county, Wang Mang is the whole country, how can it be the same. It's just such a county, with my current strength, I can even bulldoze it. But can Wang Mang bulldoze the whole country, the answer is, of course, impossible. And I have the most important resource, the army, the ultimate beneficiaries of this reform are the soldiers, as well as the ordinary people, as long as the army, the people's hearts are in my hands, the world is naturally in my hands, and whoever makes trouble with Ben Taishou will be killed when the time comes. β
Looking at Liu Xun, who was determined and unquestionable, Liu Panjin suddenly fell silent. He suddenly felt a little timid, what was he afraid of? The Lord has always taken three steps to do things, and each step has been very successful, so that there is a huge situation today. With such a talented lord, what is he afraid of.
After coming back to his senses, Liu Panjin said: "The lord is wise, and Panjin is willing to contribute to the lord." β
Seeing Liu Panjin's agreement, Liu Xun was immediately overjoyed and immediately ordered Liu Panjin to issue a decree. "The reform will start in three days, and these few days will first let the family have a psychological preparation. And you can also prepare your own work in advance. β
Sure enough, when the people of the family heard the news of reform, they naturally couldn't sit still, and went around to discuss the rebellion, which made Lujiang a little uneasy in the past two days.
The clan is quite satisfied with the results of the past few days, the reform order issued by Liu Xun was almost completely resisted, and the head of the Lu family is proud at the moment, as if he is a big hero who leads the Lujiang group to deal with Liu Xun, and is ready to lead people to besiege the county government tomorrow, so that Liu Xun will retreat.
They didn't know at the moment that what they were doing was under Liu Xun's cold eyes. In this regard, Liu Xun's eyes are full of murderous intent, the army has been secretly mobilized, and everything is waiting for the moment of outbreak.
On this night, when Liu Xun learned that Deng Qiang's clan was a family, he hesitated for a while and then ordered his attendants to call Deng Qiang and his patriarch Deng Hua. Although Deng Qiang is also from a family, he has long been marginalized, and the people in the family look down on him at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so depressed that he would go to Liu Xun's side to be a soldier and eat with a mouth.
