Even if the clan of the gate lords in all parts of the world dare not blatantly encroach on the people's fertile land due to the imperial decrees, there are still various ways to use it.

For these clansmen, they have a lot of farmland, a lot of wealth and sales channels, and those people can't fight against them at all.

In the past, when the Great Qian, the imperial court would deliberately restrict the land of the powerful and powerful, and suppressed a large number of silver coins for trading, as well as the reserve price system implemented by the imperial court, etc., which greatly restrained the powerful and noble clans of the gate lords.

So that the people will not have a bumper grain harvest, but the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants. When there is a shortage of crops, there will not be a situation in which grain prices will rise several times.

However, since the collapse of the Great Qian, this system has quietly disappeared. Even if later emperors established a similar standing position system, it would have had a limited effect.

During this period, there were few people in the world, and the people lived well, but after a few decades, these problems will be exposed in large quantities.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this reason, there is another reason that the land granted by the imperial court to the people is divided into Yongye Tian Hekou Field, adult male Ding is granted 80 acres of land, and Yongye Field is 20 acres."

"100 acres of farmland is enough for a family of six to live. Among them, 20 acres of Yongye land are granted to the people permanently, but 80 acres of land need to be returned to the government after the age of 60. ”

"It looks like a good system, but it's actually extremely difficult to implement. One of the most important problems is that the people are not willing to return their land. ”

Li Shimin asked: "This is the land distributed by the imperial court, how dare the people not return it?" ”

"Your Majesty, how many officials are there in a county town? How many things need to be managed? And there are more than 100,000 people in a county, how do they know that those people have reached the age of 60? ”

"When the time comes, it will inevitably be difficult to supervise, and local officials will sometimes get too troublesome and directly distribute the land to their grandsons. So basically, these divided fields can't be recovered. "The Tang Dynasty implemented the same field system as the Sui Dynasty.

It is all the Juntian system, but the Tang Dynasty has improved a little, and the Wang family has conducted a lot of research on the field system of the Sui Dynasty, and found that the mouth divided fields granted by the imperial court will not be recovered.

"It seems that this is a big problem." Li Shimin's brows furrowed, he had already realized the problem.

The power of the imperial court at the county level is not strong, and there are only 100 officials in a county seat, not because the imperial court does not want to expand, but after it is expanded, the administrative costs that need to be paid are far from what an agricultural country can afford.

At that time, Wang's method was to use a large number of retired soldiers to act as low-level managers, allowing them to control the township and replace the township elder system.

But this situation can only last for a while, and with the increase in the world's population, it will not be able to hold on after a hundred years.

And this kind of behavior is competing for space with local nobles, families, and heroes, and the power of the noble family in the Tang Dynasty court is very strong. Especially the Guanlong aristocratic group.

There is too much resistance to the way to push the big dry.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to cancel the division of the land, and assign all the land to the imperial court, and then the court will rent the land to the people at a low price, so that these people will need to pay a small amount of tenant rent in addition to the agricultural tax."

"These tenants can be used as income for the local officials, and with these incomes, the local officials will naturally be interested in these official lands." Wang Xuanjing told his solution.

To be honest, Wang Xuanjing, a freak who combines the official field system and the Juntian system, is indeed good, but there are still a lot of shortcomings.

The most conspicuous point is that if local officials are greedy for money, they wantonly exploit the people who rent official land, or directly resell it, which is a troublesome problem. Of course, these things are a matter of the officials, and when the time comes, it is necessary to send an inspector to the imperial history or other means to supervise it.

Li Shimin did not directly agree with Wang Xuanjing's suggestion, but he already agreed with it in his heart.

He also knows that if he doesn't give some benefits to low-level officials, they will naturally make money from other sources. Wang Xuanjing's practice has given these low-level officials benefits, as long as the supervision is stricter, it is easier to implement, and even if corruption exists, it will not have much impact.

A few days later, Li Shimin issued a new policy of acreage, and Wang Xuanjing's official land system was added to it.

The official land system can only be implemented in the early days of the founding of the country, when there are a large number of idle vacant land, wasteland, and farmland in the world.

Moreover, because the imperial court began to implement the system of restricting Buddhism and Taoism, it is foreseeable that in the next few years, the imperial court will confiscate a large amount of land from the monasteries and Taoist temples in various places.

These fields can be used as official land, and even the people who work on these fields will not be affected.

At worst, the worst is that farming for the monks has become farming for the government, and the tenant rent is lower.

After all, the imperial court still has to be face-saving, and the appearance of eating will not be too ugly, and those monks have no scruples, and the tenant rent charged is not ordinarily high.

With Wang Xuanjing's debate in the court, and after telling the true situation of Tianzhu Kingdom, no one in the court has anything to do with Wang Xuanjing, and these people are now going to check the situation of Tianzhu Buddhism.

Wang provided a large amount of literature and materials, and completely stripped off the skin of the Buddhist hometown, and many officials who originally believed in Buddhism even showed signs of faith collapse.

Without the opposition of these people, the imperial court's decree restricting Buddhism was carried out smoothly. Starting from Chang'an, it continues to extend to the surroundings.

The Buddhist temples in Guanzhong were censored one by one, and a large number of Buddhist believers were forced to return to the laity.

Wang Xuanjing speculated that tens of thousands of Buddhist believers could be dismissed in the entire Guanzhong, and these Buddhist believers would basically be reorganized into private households and then start cultivating the land.

Now that the world has been decided, there are fewer people and more land, and so many people have been added to farm, and next year's tax revenue will only be more.

In addition to the removal of these monks, a large number of bronze artifacts and money confiscated from the temple also made the imperial treasury abundant.

Wang Xuanjing ordered people to re-smelt those Buddha statues and bronze objects, and then mix them with other copper materials to cast copper coins.

Since the middle of the Liu and Song dynasties, the currency system in the world has become chaotic, and the kings of various places have minted copper coins on a large scale, resulting in dozens of copper coins circulating in the market.

A lot of copper coins because of the lack of material, copper material, the value is difficult to exchange, the court tax and the daily use of the people has a great impact, the court has always wanted to mint copper coins, but the lack of copper materials, now there are so many bronze vessels, it is natural to mint a batch of new money.
