Chapter 292: Seedlings Law
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the family is the biggest hidden danger of a dynasty and the biggest enemy of the royal family.
However, the royal family and the family are also in a state of interdependence, and it is very difficult for any dynasty to completely eliminate the family. Countless emperors have tried various methods, but in the end they have not seen any results. There were even some emperors who were in a hurry and caused the family to rebel and overthrow the rule of the dynasty.
When he saw the end, Master Ji found that Feng Qingyao had even given a way to rebuild after the disaster and properly avoid land annexation. The whole method is even more watching, and Master Ji is fascinated and can't extricate himself.
Master Ji felt that if it was implemented according to the method Feng Qingyao said, it was very likely that there would never be a situation of land annexation after the disaster in the future. If there is really no land annexation in the future, then the method of raising the family as pigs mentioned by Feng Qingyao earlier will not need to be implemented, and the risks that come with it will be much smaller.
In fact, the method listed by Feng Qingyao is just the Qingmiao method of Anshi, the prince of the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, Feng Qingyao made some changes.
According to Wang Anshi's Seedling Law, households in all prefectures, counties, and other areas could borrow cash or grain from the local government to subsidize farming before the summer and autumn harvests each year. The amount of loans is divided into five classes according to the different assets of each household, the first class can borrow 15 yuan at a time, and the last class can only borrow consistently, and the loans of the current year will be repaid with the spring and autumn taxes. The interest is divided into two cents per period.
The Seedlings Method is a good method. In order to curry favor with Wang Anshi, the officials below forced the households to borrow money to show their political achievements, regardless of whether they needed it or not. There is that greedy villain who turned the two cents of the profit prescribed by the imperial court into three or even four cents. The extra part goes into the pockets of the private individuals.
In a very short period of time, the Seedlings Law became a tool for officials to accumulate wealth. It became the government's harsh policy of lending usury to collect interest, so that the Qingmiao Law was finally not implemented and was abolished.
Feng Qingyao made some changes to the Seedlings Law in combination with the actual situation of the world, first of all, the amount of loans was much larger. The affluence of the common people of this world was much stronger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and although the households were still divided into five classes, even the lowest first-class loan amount was five guan, and the first class could borrow fifty guan.
Of course, Feng Qingyao also reminded above that we must attach great importance to the supervision of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, otherwise if we let those corrupt officials and corrupt officials do it at will. It's hard to say what this Seedlings Festival will become.
In addition to the seedling method. Feng Qingyao also mentioned yƬ to establish a regular closing position. The so-called Changping refers to the establishment of a certain number of public granaries in each county under the supervision of the imperial court. In a good year, farmers put one-twentieth of their annual income into the standing position. Other households can also voluntarily deposit a certain amount of money and grain.
If there's a disaster in the area, you can withdraw as much food as you save. In this way, even if there is a disaster, before the rescue of the imperial court arrives. Farmers can also have some food to survive. There will be no situation where children are sold, women's houses are sold, and land is sold.
Equally. The regulation of regular liquidation should also keep up. Otherwise, I am afraid that the grain in the often closed warehouse will fall into the hands of those corrupt officials again. In the event of a disaster, the people themselves could not get the money and food they had saved, which was a fatal blow to the prestige of the imperial court.
Qingyao also wrote down his own views on the rectification of the rule of officials. The first is, of course, to strengthen supervision and control and not to give those corrupt officials the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes. The second is to increase the salaries of officials appropriately, even though the salaries of officials in this world are very high. However, the officials at the bottom did not have that kind of treatment, and if they relied on the court's money alone, they would not be able to support their families. Therefore, corruption and bribery of petty officials are almost inevitable.
The third is to punish harshly and harshly enforce the law!
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the People's Republic of China, it can almost be said that the management of the entire 2,000-year-old feudal dynasty in China was the highest, not because of any other reason. It is because Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless and dares to kill.
No one may be afraid of killing someone, but if you kill a hundred, a thousand, or even tens of thousands, everyone will be afraid and will naturally obey the rules.
When the salary has been raised enough to support the family, and the cost of breaking the law is so high that their own lives are so high, most petty officials will still choose to abide by the law. Although it is inevitable that there will still be crimes against the wind, when the pay is not proportional to the gain, such people will still become very few.
"Virtuous son-in-law, how did you come up with this method? If you can't become an official and benefit the people, it will definitely be a loss to the imperial court! ć
Master Ji didn't know when he came back again, and when he saw Feng Qingyao there, he didn't know what he was writing, so he leaned over to look at it. The more I looked at Master Ji, the more surprised I became, and later it directly turned into shock and ecstasy.
Finally, when Feng Qingyao finished writing, Master Ji looked at Feng Qingyao with a flushed face and said.
Feng Qingyao smiled lightly and did not speak.
In fact, Feng Qingyao can set up a more perfect method than this, but Feng Qingyao doesn't want to work hard to do it. It is a very hard work to solve this problem perfectly. The reason why Master Ji's recital was revised was to avoid Master Ji from being retaliated against by the gentry family. It is almost impossible for him to contribute to the world.
"This ...... This is what Mr. Wind wrote?"
Just when Master Ji was standing and sighed, an extremely surprised voice suddenly came from behind Master Ji, but it turned out that Zhou Xue didn't know when he would come back.
However, because Master Ji and Ji Yanran were both intently looking at the watch in their hands, they didn't notice Zhou Xue's arrival. Feng Qingyao Su Ri'an saw Zhou Xue's arrival, but he didn't care. So it wasn't until Zhou Xue was surprised that Master Ji and Ji Yanran discovered Zhou Xue.
Seeing Zhou Xue's surprised expression, Ji Yanran was both proud and worried. The reason for the pride is naturally Feng Qingyao's extraordinary talent, which makes other women very jealous. What worries me is that some of the things written on Feng Qingyao's performance table are too appalling, and if they are spread, it will be extremely detrimental to Feng Qingyao.
At least those big families will definitely have a deep hatred for Feng Qingyao, and it is not impossible to even assassinate him directly. But now that everything inside has been seen by Zhou Xue, it's too late to hide it.
Seeing the worry in Ji Yanran's eyes, Zhou Xue hurriedly said, "Sister Yanran, little sister knows the severity. You won't say what you shouldn't say. I'm not the kind of person with a long tongue. (To be continued......)
