"The imperial court should pay attention to commercial development and encourage commercial activities, so that there are more people doing business in the world, and the tax revenue of the imperial court can also increase, and the development of commerce can also allow different state capitals to strengthen contacts and communicate with each other, so that the state capitals around the Tang Dynasty can develop rapidly, and there will be more people working in workshops, so that the people can earn money to support their families, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is not the life of a peaceful and prosperous world, and more importantly, once the economy develops, the imperial court will be able to recover a large amount of land for collective planning.
Farming is easier to manage, and there will be no disputes over the land.
If it were something else, he wouldn't be able to say so much, but when it came to business issues, he knew a lot under the influence of Yuan Shan, and he, the prince, saw clearly in many points of view.
Li Chengqian said that these were all things that Yuan Shan said casually in the past, and he also said it casually, but this kind of theory really shocked him when he heard Li Shimin's ears, especially when the whole world is not a formal talk, in fact, when Li Chengqian finished saying this, Li Shimin thought about a lot of problems, after all, it involves the land issue, which is a major matter for the country.
Normally, it is not mentioned, but if you think about the current situation, if you give the land to the people, isn't this the king's land?
Li Shimin's understanding of this matter was still a little biased, and he didn't accept it even more, so he said: "Isn't it right for me to distribute the land to the people?"
” All the ministers were shocked, this kind of topic seemed to be a little heavy, Li Chengqian almost forgot what he said just now, and immediately said when he thought of it: "Father, the son of the minister naturally does not mean that it is wrong to distribute land to the people, this is actually a problem of agriculture and commerce. ” "Agriculture and business issues, what is this?"
Li Shimin continued to ask.
Li Chengqian was a little speechless, this is actually obviously the problem between the development of commerce and agriculture, and where does he know more esoteric things, so he said: "Father, this question is a bit profound, I'm afraid only Yuan Shan can answer it." ” Li Shimin was about to roll his eyes, and said that he would still find Yuan Shan for a long time, but how could he give up this topic so much if he was so interested today, and said, "Go and call Yuan Shan immediately." ” After a while, Yuan Shan trotted in all the way, and as soon as he came in, he saw a group of people looking at him, and immediately said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ” "Okay, excuse me, I called you here to ask you about agriculture and commerce."
Li Shimin said.
"The problem of agriculture and business, what is that."
Yuan Shan muttered in his heart.
"Agriculture is a basic industry and is indispensable, and commerce is an economic activity in the circulation of commodities, both of which are very important to the community, and if one of the two is biased, it is not conducive to social development."
Yuan Shan said.
Although he didn't know what these people were studying before, he didn't think there was anything wrong with answering him like that.
"Oh, you can't choose one over the other, I ask you, what do you understand about the saying that the whole world is not the king's land."
Li Shimin continued to ask.
Yuan Shan was a little Meng, but he still replied: "The minister's understanding is that this sentence is the supreme right, but it is necessary to use such a right carefully in combination with agricultural development, and the people need land to cultivate crops. ” Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "Do you think the whole world is not the king's land?"
” "Naturally, it is the king's land, just like the equalization of land system implemented by His Majesty, this is the development of agriculture, and whether there will be follow-up problems if the division of the king's land is unreasonable is the real problem that His Majesty has to consider, rather than just listening to the one-sided words of this sentence."
Yuan Shan said.
When Li Shimin heard about the Juntian system, he became interested, and this was one of the decrees that he later thoroughly implemented, and it was a great achievement in the whole country, but he wanted to know what it had to do with agriculture.
"What are the drawbacks of the equalization system for the development of agriculture?"
Li Shimin asked, he wanted to hear what Yuan Shan could say.
As for the Juntian system, the decree that began in the eighth year of Wude was only implemented more thoroughly in the early Tang Dynasty when Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, and the achievements of the Juntian system after the fact are obvious to all, not to mention the increase in taxes of the imperial court, but also promoted the growth of the small peasant economy.
"Your Majesty really wants the minister to say it."
Yuan Shan asked hesitantly.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Li Shimin said.
"Well, let's talk about it, the fact of the equalization system is to increase the growth of the small peasant economy of the imperial court's taxes, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the land that can be used to grant the equalization system is only ownerless land and wasteland, and the quantity is limited, so it generally cannot reach the quota, and the 100 acres of fertile land distributed by the courtiers are not enough, this is just a common phenomenon, and in the future, because of the reduction of wasteland, there will be less and less land that can be distributed, so that the per capita land policy of the equalization system itself cannot be satisfied.
Moreover, if the allocated land is insufficient, the people's income is very small, and once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, they will turn back and make people desperate.
And that's just one of them.
Yuan Shan said.
"There are also bankrupt peasants who will be forced to sell their land as a last resort, and become displaced people to flee everywhere, so that the displaced people caused by the famine must be very well aware of it, and although the land received by the equalization system is required to be old and dead, in fact, very few can be returned to the government.
Among them, I have to mention the aristocracy and bureaucrats, the landlords of the family legally and illegally occupy a large amount of public land, which can be recovered less and less, so this leads to the emergence of another situation, because the population growth of the field is more and more insufficient, so that the risk of farmers relying on the soil to live is more and more increased, this is the second, in fact, the result is the same, basically in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they will be desperate and become homeless, And if such a thing really happens, then Your Majesty and the ministers should know more about the situation after that.
Won-sun continued.
The words were very bold, Li Shimin grasped them all, of course he was very clear about this situation, otherwise he would not have chosen to suppress the family, there are more things involved, but there is no doubt that what Yuan Shan said is true.
But he also has no choice, after all, this world is not his family, although it is the Li family's world, but there are no stars holding the moon, where will there be today's achievements, after Yuan Shan's words about the land, Li Shimin's perspective on the problem has changed.
If it is placed in the later stage, this Juntian system is definitely a troublesome matter, and if he wants to solve these problems now, he may be able to rely on the business that his son Li Chengqian said to balance it.
