Chapter 246: Empire (9)


"It's not easy to deal with, so the son came to ask his father how to deal with it.

Cao Cao nodded lightly and said, "This matter is indeed tricky, but it is always necessary to solve the matter." ” Boss Cao put down the thick Zuo Bo paper in his hand, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and finally spoke.

"Since it is the annexation of the land by the clan, I can talk to them one by one, and make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and make a decree that the Dali Temple will conduct a thorough investigation, and after that, if a person is caught, he will be severely punished, and the light one will be punished and the heavy one will be exiled to the Western Regions, so that the three-pronged approach will definitely change somewhat."

Even Cao Cao cannot be said to be eradicated, but can only be said to have improved.

Being able to say these words, it seems that Cao Chong's previous words have made Boss Cao understand a lot.

"But even so, it can only solve the problem of land annexation for 20 years, and cannot solve the problem of land annexation for a longer time."

Cao Cao glanced sideways at Cao Chong and asked, "It seems that the prince has some thoughts in his heart, you might as well say it directly, Lone is actually the kind of narrow-minded person, even his own son is jealous."

Of course you're not.

Cao Chong secretly complained in his heart.

But today I was the one who came to ask you.

Cao Chong thought about it for a while, and felt that it was still too difficult for Cao Cao to solve the problem of land annexation.

If Cao Chong did not have 5,000 years of cultural accumulation, he would not have been able to figure out how to solve the land annexation.

Just as before Maxwell's equations came out, few people knew that electricity and magnetism were so closely linked, and before Einstein's general theory of relativity, no one could explain the laws of the microscopic world from Newton's classical mechanics.

The reason why a great man becomes a great man is that he can see things that ordinary people can't.

Compared with these people, Cao Chong is really standing on the shoulders of giants, just a second-hand dealer of knowledge.

Efforts have been made by all dynasties and generations to resolve the issue of land annexation.

However, some of them had little effect, and some of them were difficult to return, and by the end of the dynasty, land annexation was definitely a man-eating tiger.

For the current Cao Wei, although this problem has sprouted, it is not acute after all, and if it is prevented properly, there is still a lot to be done.

In order to curb land annexation, the Tang Dynasty adopted the equalization system.

The main contents of the uniform field system are: men over the age of 15 receive 40 acres of open fields, 20 acres of mulberry fields, and women receive 20 acres of open fields.

The open field is doubled or doubled to prepare for fallow, which is for the "double field".

Those who are dead or over the age of 70 will be returned to the office.

The mulberry field is a world field, and there is no need to return to the official, but if the mulberry, elm, and jujube trees are planted within three years, they can move to the empty wasteland, but they are not allowed to move from the heavy place to the light place.

Where there is a lot of land, residents can borrow state-owned wasteland for cultivation as much as they can.

In the garden and house, the good people are given one acre for every three families, and the slaves and maids are given one acre for five people.

Land that has been displaced by crime or whose households have no occupation shall be confiscated by the State and shall be used for the purpose of granting and receiving land, but first granting to their close relatives.

The local guards are given the posts according to the level of the official position, 15 hectares of the assassin history, 10 hectares of the Taishou, 8 hectares of each of the Zhizhong and Beijia, 6 hectares of each of the county order and the county Cheng, and they are not allowed to buy and sell, and they are handed over to the successor officer when they leave their posts.

However, by the middle of the Tang Dynasty, this system was completely destroyed.

The main reason for the destruction of the equal-land system in the Tang Dynasty was the increasingly fierce land annexation and the rapid expansion of private ownership of large land, which broke the original pattern of the equal-land system.

Although the system of equalizing land implemented in the middle of the Tang Dynasty was the most complete compared with the previous period, it relaxed the restrictions on land sales, and even the division of land could be bought and sold under certain circumstances, which opened up a convenient way for the development of land annexation and the development of private ownership of large land.

At the same time, the aristocracy, bureaucrats, and landlords at all levels received a large amount of permanent land, so that the amount of private land they owned far exceeded that of ordinary peasants, which also contributed to the development of private ownership of large land.

In this way, the practice of the equalization system not only failed to fundamentally inhibit land annexation, but also objectively fostered the development of feudal landlords' private ownership of large land.

For the Tang Dynasty, although the Juntian system achieved certain results, it could not inhibit land annexation, but the Juntian system had merits.

The Song Dynasty is a more strange dynasty, different from the previous dynasties, the Song Dynasty did not inhibit land annexation, but encouraged industry and commerce, even if the people had no land, they could also go to business, which greatly alleviated the evil consequences of land annexation, the Song Dynasty did not fall in land annexation, but in the emphasis on literature and light on military force, but its encouragement of industry and commerce is indeed worth learning.

As for the demise of the Dameng Empire, in addition to the reason of the Xiaoice River Age, land annexation must have accounted for a certain amount of it.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor set up the imperial village, the princes and kings themselves were big landowners, even the eunuchs had their own land, even the emperor took the lead in annexing the land, the land annexation of the Ming Empire can be seen in general, even the fierce Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip law, and the land was checked nationwide.

The result was that both of these failures failed.

The Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the Ming Dynasty and incorporated the Ding Yin that had been passed down through the dynasties into Tianfu for collection.

One of the most commendable is to spread the land into acres.

The so-called apportionment of Ding into Mu means that Ding Yin is spread into the field and collected, and the previous "poll tax" is abolished, so that landless peasants and other laborers get rid of the burden of Ding labor for thousands of years; The increased tax burden on landlords also limited or eased land annexation to a certain extent; The burden on landless peasants is relatively light.

At the same time, the government loosened its grip on household registration, allowing farmers and artisans to move freely and sell their labour.

It is conducive to arousing the production enthusiasm of the vast number of peasants and other laborers and promoting the progress of social production.

In the Ming Dynasty, a whip law was implemented, and the Qing Dynasty continued to implement it, and part of the Ding silver was levied on the acres of land, and part of the Ding silver was levied according to the per person.

In the Qianlong period, it was passed through the whole country, and after the land was apportioned into the mu, the land was united, and the Ding Yin and Tian Fu were unified with the land and mu as the tax object, which simplified the tax and collection procedures.

The inhibition of land annexation by "apportioning the land into the mu" enabled a large number of yeoman farmers to survive, injecting a boost into the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

It is a pity that as early as the beginning of the entry of wild boar skins, their royal family, nobles and officials, large and small, frantically occupied the land of the Han people, and the land annexation was unstoppable.

Later, as the landlords' economy recovered, their annexation of land became even more arrogant.

There are many ways to buy, to beg, or to give.

And these were also the reasons for the direct outbreak of the Taiping Rebellion.

Combined with the policies of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties to suppress land annexation, and combined with the national conditions of the current Wei State, Cao Chong's words were also spoken.

"If you want to solve the problem of land annexation in the long term, you must do the following.

First, it is the combination of the equalization system and the apportionment into the mu, the so-called equalization of the field system and the spread into the mu, that is" Cao Chong explained to Boss Cao the system of spreading the land into mu and the equalization of fields, and the latter's eyes immediately lit up.

"Second, instead of suppressing commerce, it encourages industry and commerce, even if the land is really annexed, the people will not have nothing to do and nothing to eat."

This point is borrowed from the Song Dynasty.

Cao Chong glanced at Boss Cao lightly and continued: "The third point is to promote education, improve the imperial examination system, and advocate the ideas of the six arts of Confucianism, learning from things, and teaching without class. ” Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand, and said, "You go on." ” "Fourth, the codification is established.

Put "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new."

"The "golden mean" and other excellent theories of the hundred schools of thought were condensed into a code of laws, in which a decree was written on the suppression of land annexation.

This has the advantage of winning over Confucian scholars and winning people's hearts.

At the same time, it can lay a theoretical foundation for future generations to keep pace with the times and reform, and will not let them rest on their laurels in the future.

"The fifth point is to promote water conservancy and encourage the reclamation of wasteland."

Cao Chong secretly glanced at Boss Cao at this time, and the next sentence came out.

"The last point is foreign conquest" That's right, Cao Chong went to great lengths, mainly for this last point.

The essence of land annexation is that the big landlords occupy the land, and the peasants have no land, so they will not have enough to eat and will go hungry, so it has become the most turbulent element in society.

If Wei conquered the outside world and poured the internal pressure of Wei on other countries, the so-called land annexation issue would be impossible to talk about.

The empire on which the sun never sets in later generations is also Cao Chong's thinking.

Conquest from abroad Cao Cao looked at Cao Chong, but saw the majestic cause in his son's chest.

It turns out that everything today is for the last point.

However, Cao Cao was not angry, but still had some appreciation.

But how to say it to Cao Chong, Cao Cao still has to think about it.

And Cao Chong stared at Cao Cao at this time, obviously wanting an answer.

Cao Wei:
