Later China's land reform used violence to seize land from landlords and then distributed it to landless peasants, fundamentally solving the historical problem of inequality between rich and poor.
Then could there be such a land reform in the Ming Dynasty?
The answer is no.
Zhu Youxiao knew that if land reform was carried out in this way, the Ming Dynasty would come to an end.
The landlords will rebel, the soldiers will rebel, the officials will rebel, and everyone except the poor farmers will rebel, and maybe even the poor farmers will rebel.
And the most important thing is that except for a very small number of rogues, most people are not willing to get the land in this way.
The Chinese who have not yet experienced the persecution of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at least have the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong and know that it is wrong to seize other people's land and property without reason.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao felt that the more than two million landowners who died during the land reform were thought to be at least 4.5 million according to some data.
Do they really deserve to die?
Do they really deserve to die?
They are divided into two groups based solely on their wealth and poverty.
Zhu Youxiao asked himself that he still couldn't do it if he considered the people in one of the opposing camps as bad guys and could kill them at will.
Since that doesn't work, can we carry out land reform in another way?
For example, using money to buy land from landlords and then selling it to landless poor people.
However, this method will also encounter many problems.
First, what should the landlords do if they are unwilling to sell?
Second, what about the farmers?
Only if you can afford it, this is not like resettling Liao people.
The state pays to build the houses first.
Although the seeds, farm tools, and draft animals must be paid off within three years, there is no charge for the land and the houses.
The seeds must be paid off within three years.
Farm tools and livestock were a piece of cake.
To carry out mild land reform in the country, farmers must pay to buy land.
Otherwise, the country cannot have so much money to buy land from landlords.
But farmers have worked hard for a year and often can only make ends meet, so how can they have enough money to buy land?
Zhu Youxiao thought about these two problems, but he couldn't think of any solution at all.
He had to comfort himself that there would always be a solution.
If he found some smart people to think about it together, he should be able to figure it out.
At this time, Huiming shouted: "Your Majesty, that land has not been planted."
Zhu Youxiao woke up and looked up, and sure enough he saw a large piece of land without any crops.
He was furious, reined in his horse, jumped off, and walked into the fields.
When Wei Zhongxian saw this, his horse did not stop, so he jumped down and rushed to Zhu Youxiao's left.
Huiming didn't see him moving in a hurry, but followed Zhu Youxiao on the right side, looking as if he was at ease.
Not only were there no crops planted in the ground, but the straw from the last planting was left in the ground without being pulled or burned.
Zhu Youxiao stepped on the straw bitterly and cursed: "You don't even plant good land, you deserve to be damned."
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, please go and ask the people next to you first to see what the situation is before we say anything."
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
Wei Zhongxian saw an old man working in the field far away, so he walked over and cupped his hands and said, "Old man, why are there no crops planted on that land?"
The old man looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Are you the person who borrowed money from Zhao Er?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "No, I'm just a passerby.
When I passed by here, I saw that the crops were growing very well everywhere, but there was nothing planted in this area.
It looked a bit dazzling, so I asked my father-in-law to ask."
The old man sighed and said: "Zhao Er originally came to Qian'an with his father and divided the land.
They only lived a good life for a year, but he didn't want his father to leave.
Zhao Er was young and ignorant, and idled around with a few boys every day.

He actually went to the town on the other side to play Pai Gow with someone, but lost everything.
Someone in the gambling stall lent him money, but he still lost.
Those people wanted him to use his land to pay off the debt, but Zhao Er didn't want to, so he had to hide and do nothing.
Where is the land?”
Wei Zhongxian wondered: "Isn't this land allocated to Zhao Er?
He doesn't have the land deed, so how can he buy or sell it?"
The old man said: "Others don't want the land deed, they just want people to live in Zhao Er's house and cultivate the land.
Anyway, it's free.
If you can plant it for a year, you will get a year's harvest."
Wei Zhongxian also hung out in casinos when he was young, so he naturally understood what the old man meant by Bai De.
I had no choice but to enter the palace after losing so hard that I would never touch gambling equipment again in the future.
He hated gambling deeply.
When he heard about Zhao Er, he felt sad again.
He thanked the old man, walked to Zhu Youxiao, and briefly explained the situation.
However, Zhu Youxiao did not say anything about the gambling incident.
He said directly: "Aren't there special inspection envoys in Xincun?
Why are things like this not reported or dealt with, so that such a good beach land is empty?
Let's go to Xincun to manage the Yamen Bar."
Wei Zhongxian said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, this gambling trend needs to be severely punished."
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "I am willing to admit defeat.
I have to pay the price for my stupidity.
Since I can't find out what others are doing, there is nothing I can do about being treated like a sheep.
Gambling cannot be dealt with officially."
It’s forbidden.
The most it can do is regulate the behavior of gambling stalls.
You should write this down first and discuss it together when you get back.”
After getting on the main road, the group came to the Qian'an New Village Management Committee.
The Qian'an New Village Management Committee is a new organization dreamed up by Zhu Youxiao.
One person from twenty households in each plot of land in the new village will be elected to form a management committee responsible for managing the mutual aid and cooperation among the villagers.
Parallel to the Management Committee is a court agency called the New Village Inspection Department.
This organization has only one official, the New Village Inspector.
He is only responsible for reporting all aspects of the new village to the superiors and informing the Management Committee of various decisions made by the superiors. , and he has no say in specific management, let alone decision-making power.
After entering the management committee, there was a noise coming from inside.
Zhu Youxiao stopped Wei Zhongxian's move to step forward and walked in.
The people inside were making a lot of noise, but no one paid attention to them.
Zhu Youxiao listened for a while and understood that it was people from the casino who came to the management committee to ask for planting Zhao Er's land, but the management committee did not allow it, so the two parties quarreled.
At this time, a person who looked like a boss from the casino said: "Okay, what we want to say is very simple.
Either the management committee will help Zhao Er pay back the money, or the management committee will let us plant Zhao Er's land to repay the debt.
Our money It’s not caused by strong winds.
The management committee must give us an explanation.”
A person on the side of the management committee said: "I have reported Zhao Er's situation to the higher authorities, and there has been no approval from the higher authorities.
But when we divided the fields, we made a good decision.
This is the land for the resettlement of Liao people.
It is not each family’s private land, so it cannot be bought or sold, nor can it be leased
