Vol 2 Chapter 1080: The determination of the emperor and queen

Eight years of Jingming, midsummer.
The fighting in the south is in full swing.
The Da Zhou army commander drove in and took down fifty cities in one go.
Yang Ji's prestige is unparalleled for a while, and no one can match.
In order to cooperate with the overseas expansion plan, under the strong promotion of the emperor and the empress, the imperial court promulgated a series of systems on land trading.
In the past, land sales could be bought arbitrarily as long as they had money and power.
Also known as land mergers.
The imperial court has almost no effective means to prevent it.
More than 90% of the incidents that forced the good into slaves, forced the good into prostitution, and forced human lives, are rooted in the land.
For example, in the years of natural disasters, the wealthy people drive up food prices, suppress land prices, and engage in food hunger marketing.
Although they don't understand the theory of hunger marketing, they do not prevent the local wealthy from adopting such methods.
Moreover, natural disasters are usually accompanied by diseases.
On the one hand, there is no harvest in the fields, hungry, and on the other, there are various diseases. In case you have to pay taxes to complete the corvee, its tragic degree is a living human tragedy.
The result is that the big rich become the small rich, the small rich become the poor, and the poor can only sell their sons and daughters.
As long as the natural disaster lasts for more than half a year, the land should be sold when the children are sold out.
And the price is extremely low.
Local tycoons will take the opportunity to buy fields on a large scale. In a village, a pavilion, a township, or even a county, most of the land falls into the hands of a family.
The Hao Clan Hengqiang, Xiao Min went bankrupt.
The bankrupt civilians should be better tenants, farming for the big family, and begging to survive.
Next time, sell yourself as a slave or escape from famine and become a refugee.
As long as they do not return to their household registration place, the government cannot collect taxes from them and levy corvee. This is why so many people choose to escape from famine.
As for selling, it’s not that you want to sell and someone will buy it.
Large families buy people, usually only buying children, after a few years of training, they can work and be loyal.
Boys and girls are also okay, you can buy them and use them.
Elderly people, such as men and women in their 30s and 40s, no big family will want it.
Even if you don't want money, just ask for a bowl of rice, and work for nothing, the big family won't want it.
...
There is also a common situation where you don't have to wait for natural disasters.
Natural disasters do not happen every year.
But every year there is a need to buy land.
At the beginning of the wealthy family, they usually buy dozens of acres of land here and a few hectares of land there.
The more I buy, the more, but it's all in the east and the west.
At this time, the rich family wanted to connect the land under their name into one piece.
Think about that scene. A visitor came, pointed to a large piece of land, and said: "The land here is all mine."
Listen, how proud.
Blocking other people's land in the middle of the land is particularly an eye-catcher.
How to do?
Buy it!
But no one wants to sell.
The family is not too difficult to afford to eat, and most people do not sell land.
Even if there are difficulties, they will think of other ways first. As a last resort, no one will easily sell the field in his hand.
The land saved by my ancestors has been meticulously treated for decades, and it is hard to grow thin fields into fat fields. Why do I have to sell them because you want to buy them?
At this time, one wants to buy and the other does not want to sell, and contradictions arise.
How to do?
The hooligan raised by the rich family came in handy.
All kinds of private means went into battle, forcing people to sell land.
This kind of strong buying and selling has been performed every day for thousands of years.
Hate, poverty, clan conflicts, various natural disasters and man-made disasters are often rooted in the land.
...
In the eighth year of Jingming, the new land system that the emperor and empress had brewed for many years broke through many difficulties. After all parties compromised, the terms were supplemented and revised and finally came out.
From the first day of August in the eighth year of Jingming, everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, regardless of agriculture, industry, and commerce, can only have a maximum of 100 acres of land under their name.
Under the name of a servant, one person can only have ten acres of land.
Within this standard, ten taxes are one.
The land purchased in the past can enjoy this tax rate as long as the individual's name does not exceed 100 acres.
Anything exceeding acres will be taxed ten and five within the range of one time.
More than double, the tax rate increases.
For example, a good person has 120 acres of land under his name. One hundred acres, one tax for ten.
The extra 20 acres will cost ten tax and five. To harvest one hundred catties of wheat, one has to pay fifty catties of grain tax.
Scholars have other rules.
Xiucai fame, the upper limit of land under the name is 150 acres, cute two people.
In other words, in addition to the scholar himself, there are three people in the family who can enjoy the benefits of owning 150 acres of land and 10 taxes.
Juren, Jinshi, and gradually increase.
Become an official, such as Master Ling Lu in the book of Zhongshu, the head of the hundred officials, he can own up to 25 hectares of land under his name, ten taxes one, and 25 cute people.
...
Along with the promulgation of the land law, there is also a new slavery law.
There are many rules and regulations, which are related to the vital interests of everyone. The announcement made the whole world boil instantly.
The streets and alleys, Qin Lou Chu Hall, teahouses and restaurants, are all discussing new land laws.
For the first time, the Newspaper Department was dispatched on a large scale, requiring all newspapers in the world to publish regulations on the Land Law and the Slave Law, and to publish their interpretations.
At the same time, Sanhe Express, Shaofu Bank, Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop, and other commercial organizations have also joined this propaganda battle.
They went deep into poor rural areas and deep valleys, explaining the new land law with local villagers.
In order to prevent people from fishing in troubled waters and messing around with poor information.
Every newspaper publishes special reports, and it is not a problem to even do special reports for three months.
This means that in the next three months, all news will make way for the laws of the land.
For thousands of years, what has people cherished most?
Not life, but land.
The emperor, the high officials of the court, and the peasants and small people in the countryside are all fighting for the land.
The emperor wanted to expand the territory, occupy more land, or defend the territory laid by his ancestors.
High-ranking officials of the imperial court wanted to endorse the family and buy land on a large scale, the more the better.
A small family becomes a big family, a big family becomes a powerful family, a powerful family becomes a family, a family influences the court...
This is an infinitely rising channel, and no one is willing to give up.
Rural peasants, small people, go out early and return late and work hard. They just want to buy a few acres of land to save a little family business for the children.
Even the big merchants, the money they can’t make is not always buying, buying, buying enough land. He changed from a businessman to a landlord gentry.
Now, Dazhou does not restrict the imperial examinations for the children of merchants.
As long as you are a good citizen, you can participate in the imperial examination regardless of the scholar, agriculture, and business.
Even the children of the clan can participate in the imperial examination. And after years of hard work, seven or eight talents have been admitted. In a few years, there may be a few Juren Jinshi candidates.
In other words, there is no need for merchants to change their identity. The status of a businessman does not affect the child's imperial examination.
However, there are still many businessmen who follow the customs of their ancestors and run wild on the road of buying and buying.
With so many people buying land, it is inevitable that the same area of ​​land must be sold.
Where does the land come from?
It can only be sold from the hands of Xiaomin, seized, or occupied, or persecuted...
In short, every dynasty reached the middle and late stages, and it was inevitable that the land would separate from the hands of the small people and concentrate on the rich and powerful.
Now the imperial court suddenly promulgated a land law, along with the slavery law, all of a sudden, it blocked the unscrupulous purchase of land.
Buy it!
Just buy it!
The new land law, sorry, is not being enforced by the Ministry of Households.
I bought a lot of land and wanted tax exemption. I'm sorry to find the wrong person. Go out and turn right to find Shaofu.
A group of weak chickens in the household has colluded interests and has no clear connection with the local wealthy family. Letting them tax and measure the land is equivalent to half of the new land law has just been promulgated.
The emperor and queen, through various means, coupled with a certain amount of interest compromise, the new land law responsibilities, all belong to the Shaofu. Jin Wuwei cooperates with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the past, the guardian who was confined to the harem, transformed into a guardian.
The specifications have been improved, and the establishment has increased. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has recruited a large number of unemployed jinshi in advance, as well as outstanding talents.
Except for the talents, all the recruits were officially staffed by the imperial court, with imperial salaries.
Ask about the feelings of the Juren Jinshi recruited to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The mood is painful and happy, and it is beautiful from time to time.
why?
Of course it is because of power!
Cooperating with such a large project involves the interests of all parties. It is conceivable that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will bear the greatest infamy in the world and become a veritable man of the pot.
The emperor and empress introduced the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is estimated to be used to carry the pot back. It is really far-sighted.
People who are indifferent are willing to carry the pot.
It is no ordinary person to carry the pot on behalf of the emperor and empress. It is only in the eyes of the emperor and the queen that he has the right to carry the pot.
With such a big pot on the back of the Ministry of Internal Servant, the power can be imagined, and it has also gone up by 30%. They all dared to stretch their fingers towards the young mansion.
Deng Cunli of the Shaofu didn't say anything, holding the machete, he chopped back the finger that the Ministry of Internal Servant had extended.
Fatty!
Dare to reach out to Shaofu.
I want you to know something good or bad.
The Inner Attendant clutched the chopped finger, yelling pain, and can only scream pain secretly, not in front of others.
Frustrated!
That has to be endured.
Follow behind Shaofu's ass, pointing to that and hitting that.
The most difficult thing about the new land law is taxation!
The households and the local government, facing local tycoons, aristocratic families, are mostly weak chickens.
The new laws of the land, if you want to know it, mainly restrict local tycoons and families.
Xiaomin has no power to buy 100 acres of land.
Asking the local government to pay taxes to the wealthy family, fearing that they would be beaten out before they came.
Therefore, the emperor and empress deliberately handed over the task of implementing the new land law to the Shaofu, so that the Ministry of Internal Servant and Jinwuwei cooperated.
This configuration represents the determination of the emperor and queen to implement the new laws of the land.
If you want to buy land recklessly, a small family of eight or ninety people will own hundreds of hectares, even thousands of hectares. Okay, double the tax, and double the tax until ten tax nine.
When land can't bring profit, but it becomes a burden, we have to see who dares to buy land wantonly.
Not satisfied?
Put Kim Goe!
