Chapter 293 Land Issue (2) (Second Update, Ask for Collection and Subscription) Without the people to plant the land for you, I see how you are going to plant so much land?
Do you grow your own?
Your family is prosperous, but even if your descendants are prosperous like seven clans and five surnames, how many descendants can a family have?
One or two thousand people are already in the sky, right?
But not to mention how many of your pampered people can bear the daily heavy manual labor of farming, even if you do farm - you have millions of acres of land under your name, so much land, even if one or two thousand people don't sleep all year long, how much can you plant?
What to do with the rest of the land?
Datang has a law, once a certain piece of land is barren for many years and no one cultivates it, the imperial court has the right to take it back, and it is the kind that does not give money - you can't not plant, and others are not allowed to plant, right?
It is not allowed to occupy the pit and not in any dynasty, especially in terms of people's livelihood, and such a problem is absolutely not allowed.
Originally, this law was of little use to families with many tenants, because some people farmed the land for them.
But since the immigration policy came out, the family has been completely panicked, because compared with farming for others, owning their own land is the dream of all Han people - don't underestimate the land complex of the Han people, in order to have a piece of land that belongs to you, what is it to leave your hometown?
Even if the Maison had reacted as quickly as possible, such as blocking the implementation of immigration policies, such as selling their land at a low price, or reducing the rents of tenants, it was completely useless, and these policies could not stop the people from running to the Turks.
And without tenants, with their little manpower, tens of millions and nearly tens of millions of acres of land, with their family's manpower, they can't plant at all, even if they sell the land while planting, but in the end, there are still large tracts of land that have been taken away by the imperial court.
It's just that they can't stop it, because this is a law that the imperial court has long established - the families can secretly ignore the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but on the surface, they don't have the courage, otherwise even if the court really does something to them, no one will intercede for them.
It was this move of the imperial court that made many families almost bankrupt, and even for a period of time, some small families simply relied on chaff to survive, which shows how miserable they were at that time, and they hated Li Zhen who proposed this policy to the core.
After more than ten years of recuperation, these small families finally recovered a little bit of vitality, but the Tang Dynasty went to war again.
Once the Tang Dynasty really prepared for Nanyang to follow the Turkic immigration strategy, the situation of the family would be even more miserable - not only that Nanyang was more fertile than the Turkic land, and the environment was better.
More importantly, because the immigration policy was promulgated for the first time ten years ago, a considerable number of people did not believe that such a good policy would fall on their heads.
But later, when many examples proved that the immigration policy was real, the people who went there made a fortune, which made the intestines of this part of the people regret green, and they looked forward to the Tang Dynasty one day to lay a few more pieces of land, and they would go to divide a few pieces of land.
Unfortunately, although the Tang Dynasty did lay down a few pieces of land later, such as Gaochang, Tuyuhun, Tubo, etc., due to various reasons, these sites did not implement the immigration policy or the number of immigrants was too small, which disappointed most of the people who were looking forward to it.
Gaochang is because this country itself is a country of Han people, and it doesn't matter about the rule of the Tang Dynasty at all, so naturally there is no need to immigrate.
Although the people of Tubo and Tuyuhun are not of Han blood, the Tang Dynasty ruled here to ban serfdom and turn all serfs into free people, which made the people of the two countries grateful, and it was too late to support the Tang Dynasty, so how could they oppose the rule of the Tang Dynasty?
Although the Tang Dynasty did arrange for some people to emigrate to the past, it was not a large number, but only a part of the landless poor people were transferred from Shuzhong or Ganzhou and other places, and the policy did not spread to the hinterland of the Central Plains at all, which disappointed the people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan and other places.
But the imperial court has no policy, and they have no choice but to pray every day that the Tang Dynasty will lay down some more places.
Then, their wish came true, Lin Yi committed the border, Li Zhen, the king of Tang Yue, waved his army south and easily destroyed Lin Yi, and was about to kill Zhenla, seeing that a large piece of fertile land was about to fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and now almost every day there are people looking forward to when the imperial court will promulgate the immigration policy again, and even every day there are people asking about the situation in the Yamen, but the answer is that there is no news about this aspect yet.
While many people were disappointed, they were also waiting with confidence, because even they knew very well that this time was different from the past, and this time the imperial court would definitely promulgate an immigration policy.
Because according to the news from the front, Nanyang is different from other places, and the king of Yue seems to be particularly disgusted with the Nanyang natives, and is even ready to turn the Nanyang natives into slaves and escort them to slave camps all over the Tang Dynasty to let them work until death.
This made many people sigh that the king of Yue was so bold at the same time, but also full of expectations waiting for the implementation of the immigration policy - since the people of Nanyang are going to become slaves, then such a big place in Nanyang must not be left empty, so the promulgation of the immigration policy is almost certain, and the scale is absolutely unprecedented, I am afraid that even the scale of immigration to the Turks ten years ago is not comparable to this time.
Last time, because of the actions of the family, some black households did not terminate the contract with the family, and later when the news of the Turks came, these people hated the family to the core, and they were even more looking forward to the next immigration policy of the imperial court.
If the imperial court is really ready to start the immigration policy again this time, then the threat to the family will be much greater than ten years ago, and all tenants and black households will definitely be out of the control of the family and become good citizens with land and land.
But what about the Maison?
Although after suffering the loss ten years ago, many families have learned to grow wise, and did not annex too much land, but invested the money in their hands into business.
But this is only a part, there are still a considerable number of families who continue to invest in the land after recovering their vitality, including the current seven families, there are still many families who hold a huge amount of land, if the imperial court really wants to start the immigration policy, it will definitely be a big disaster for these families.
