Chapter 2 The Junda System

Emperor Wu originally intended Liu Renliang to lead Chang'an, but when Liu Renliang came out of the mountain, Chang'an had already been arranged, and it was not appropriate to parachute another leader.

So, he also drove to Luoyang with the king's companion, and easily won the post of prime minister with the qualifications of the patriarch of the three dynasties.

Although Di Renjie also has a reputation for uprightness, her relationship with the emperor is too close, and she does not deal with the powerful.

Di Renjie is also considered to be a little psychologically prepared for Empress Wu to ascend the throne as the emperor, Xiazhou has more contact with the people as a county order, and there is no impetuousness in the capital, but there is some hope for Empress Wu to be the emperor. One is that everyone in the world expects an emperor who can allow them to live and work in peace and contentment. Second, a hundred years later, he will still return to Li Tang, and it will be okay to make trouble all these years.

These different ideas between Liu Renliang and Di Renjie are naturally expressed in the usual pairs, so Emperor Wu is naturally more satisfied with Di Renjie, and others respect Liu Renjie more.

Shen Sanwen was bent on getting rid of Liu Renliang, but there was no good time, the elders of the three dynasties, it was much easier to play with the court than a hairy boy like him. Also because Shen Sanwen has always supported him openly and secretly in matters such as Empress Wu's accession to the throne, Liu Renliang was very dissatisfied with this concubine.

Liu Renliang often sneered at Shen Sanwen, but Shen Sanwen had to bear it. If you take revenge at this time, you may still have a bad reputation, disrespecting the loyalty and sage of your predecessors, and bullying others.

However, Shen Sanwen didn't intend to let him in big things.

After Di Renjie arrived in Luoyang, he compiled his years of political experience into a book and submitted it to Emperor Wu.

Di Renjie explained to everyone the disadvantages of the current field system.

"Under the current land system, every Tang Dynasty citizen can get a share of Yongye land, and if they cultivate diligently, they can be self-sufficient, even nuns and widows can survive freely.

However, in recent years, natural disasters and military disasters have increased taxes, and the people have to borrow money to survive, and if this continues in the coming year, year after year, the people will find it difficult to survive, and can only become slaves of officials or rich families.

Although Yongye land cannot be transferred, once it cannot survive, the people are willing to become slaves, hand over the land and depend on others for survival, or simply sell the land.

In this way, the wealthy families rushed to annex the land, and the people were displaced.

Xiazhou, at the beginning of the minister's appointment, was like this.

Fortunately, Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou, was strict under his rule, and the minister was very powerful, so the governor of Wang Du personally supervised the implementation of the field system, and all those who illegally sold Juntian or maliciously acquired and merged Juntian were severely punished.

In addition, some of the thin fields were not enough to pay taxes and could not sustain themselves, so the governor and his ministers called on the officials of Xiazhou to pay out of their own pockets, give alms to the people, and share weal and woe with the people of Xiazhou.

The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, but policies related to the survival of the people, such as the land system, are becoming more and more unsustainable.

The minister implored His Majesty to recalculate the land, distribute the land, increase the punishment for destroying the land system, and ensure that all the people of our Tang Dynasty have enough food and clothing to be persecuted by the evil and rich. ”

Most of the people in the DPRK and China are powerful people, and it is difficult to empathize. But people like Cui Cha and Liu Renliang, who have lived in the countryside for a period of time, naturally understand what Di Renjie said, and Yu Limin is a matter of life and death.

However, since ancient times, land has been the foundation of a wealthy family, and only with land can there be food, and only with food can there be better survival.

The more land you have, the more food you have, the more people you can feed, the more people you can control, and the more power you have.

When Gaozu, the law was strict, and humbly admonished, although the nobles of the family also collected wealth and purchased land, but no one dared to touch the foundation of the people's survival, if it was heard of by the imperial history, it was difficult to bear the anger of Gaozu.

Since Gaozong, he has been fighting for many years, although he does not say that there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, but according to the distribution of the population, there is still a slight gap between the rich and the poor. At the beginning of the national war, it was still possible to take into account the conquest and carry out tax reductions and exemptions, but in the back, there were few people in the fields and military expenditures increased, and for many families, the tax pressure was not great, so there was no tax reduction or exemption policy.

In the early days, there were few people in the fields, which did bring some income, but later on, the armaments increased, taxes were restored, some people could not afford to farm, and some households had no one to cultivate, so the field system was unsustainable.

Rich families have this opportunity, and they will naturally go crazy to annex land, so, Wu Zhou, at this time, it can indeed be said that many people are living in dire straits.

Although Luoyang City, Chang'an City, everyone sings praises and firmly believes in the peace of the country and the people, but in the place, many people endure unspeakable suffering.

Di Renjie's visit to Xiazhou had a profound impact on his concept of governance.

Even, at the end of the twists and turns, Di Renjie proposed peaceful coexistence with the border countries and reduced disputes.

This is the first time that Di Renjie has performed a concert since returning to Beijing.

The court caused an uproar.

"Your Majesty, there have been changes in the Juntian system, but it is not as Lord Di said, shaking the foundation of the people, but it is just a small number of small people who tend to be inflammatory, greedy for wealth and nobility, and do not want to cultivate anymore. ”

Ministry of Justice: "Juntian is divided according to the population, and it is naturally different in different years, and if there is birth, old age, sickness and death, it is naturally re-planned." It is not indispensable for the land of a family to be assigned to one place. The whole world is His Majesty's land, and the idea that anyone dares to occupy the public land as his own and annex the land is alarmist and false. ”

Di Renjie's temperament of not being afraid of the powerful has not changed.

Di Renjie angrily reprimanded the two Shangshu, "Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries." You don't want to serve the country, but hide the country's serious illness and let it go, what is your intention?

The people can't survive and become slaves to everyone, and they are cattle and horses, which is also greedy for wealth? Knowing that the whole world is not loess, and trying to deceive the king, deceive the superiors and subordinates, what should you be guilty of? ”

Hubu Shilang: "Master Di knows how much manpower and financial resources are needed to calculate the land and redistribute it?" How much will happen to the redistribution?

It not only gives the corrupt people the opportunity to encroach on the fertile land, but also gives the coveters the opportunity to divide the land.

This is to make it more difficult to govern and harm the people.

Master Di can govern Xiazhou well, how to ensure that the whole world can be like Xiazhou? ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu continued, "How to ensure fairness in the division of equal fields? Each household has been cultivating for a long time, and how to reassure the people if they divide it rashly? Far from improving people's living conditions, this move will only anger people's resentment. ”

Di Renjie glared at them angrily, "If you know that there is a mistake and do not change it, if the disaster is successful, it will be too late to regret it." If there is a natural disaster, the land of a state, the light ones will starve all over the wilderness, and the people will eat the children, and the heavy ones will fall into the grass, burn, kill and loot, and rise up. Then you will be sinners through the ages.

Your Majesty is sage, and naturally he will not be deceived by others. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne for the first time, he is being elected as a meritocrat, renovating the old system, and safeguarding the livelihood of the people. If you can punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, check the local lawless, and ensure that people have clothes, you will be able to become a saint for the ages and a model for future generations. ”

Liu Renliang, Cui Cha, and Shen Sanwen took the lead in seconding the proposal.

And they were silent.

Emperor Wu: "Di Aiqing's words are reasonable, how to innovate still needs to be discussed, I hope that the secretaries will focus on social affairs, and do not want to abolish the public affairs for private purposes and delay state affairs." ”

(Don't forget Shen Xiaobao's name, what is the best name?) )
