Vol 4 Chapter 3218: Aristocratic Manor has strong agriculture

Liu Muzhi's brows furrowed: "This is a death penalty, but a living crime is hard to forgive? However, in this way, if you don't kill people, let it go, is it really okay?"
Liu Yu said indifferently: "We in Dajin also had a new emperor ascending the throne, the emperor got married, and we should pardon the world in order to pray for blessings. It seems that except for treason, disrespect and other heinous crimes, ordinary capital crimes can be pardoned."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "There is such a practice, but this time you have to use an amnesty, it is not appropriate, you are not a king, even if you want to use the excuse of remarriage, it is not appropriate to use this amnesty."
Liu Yu said: "Yes, but other excuses can be used, such as the capture of Guanggu, the demise of Nanyan, and the surrender of Murong Chao as a false emperor, in order to pay homage to the dead soldiers and people, and to celebrate our destruction of the first northern country. The puppet state of the Hu people can give Qingzhou amnesty, there is a precedent for this."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "You even know this, yes, there was. When Huan Wen attacked and destroyed Chenghan, he also granted amnesty once. This kind of amnesty for the purpose of stabilizing the hearts of the newly recovered areas does not exist. Illegal degree. It can be used. And in this way, you can assign the pardoned dying people, along with their family members, to the noble families as slaves, and after defeating Tianshidao last time, you can treat the people who have the lives of Jin soldiers in their hands. Those enemy troops are sent to the fighting arena, and the stage is a slave, it is a reason."
Liu Yu nodded: "But I can't tell Alan directly, so if she can convince her clansmen to hand over more than 2,000 people after she goes back, it is estimated that the last ones will be old and weak, or injured sergeants. It is the tradition of their barbarians, the noble and the young are strong, the old and the weak are cheap, and when it is really necessary to die, they will abandon the old and the weak first."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, many of their ideas are contrary to ours. If we replace us Han people, we would rather have our children die and save the elderly and children. This is our filial piety and the foundation of our benevolence and righteousness. But in this way, those who give high-ranking families to the noble family will be the weak ones, and their idea of ​​selecting elite soldiers and becoming their own part will no longer be established."
Liu Yu sighed: "This kind of aristocratic family wants to build an army, and in the future, they have countered the demands of our Beijing Eight Brothers in Beijing, why don't you mention it to me? If it wasn't for me who resolutely withstood this request from Miaoyin today. , and now the consequences are unimaginable.

Liu Muzhi smiled and said, "Shouldn't you thank me for this matter? If it wasn't for me to hide from both sides, how could you have successfully killed Nan Yan? If I told you this condition at the time, you would definitely not give in and agree. At that time, there is no food, grass and weapons supplied by the aristocratic family, even if you can win the battle of Linqu with the food and grass when you dispatched troops, you will never be able to besiege Guanggu for a year."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I can attack the city ahead of time, and I don't have to delay it for so long. To be honest, I always thought it was Qingzhou's tyrants supplying food and grass, but I didn't expect that it was mainly from the rear, or from these noble families. Are we so After years of operation, is it still inseparable from them?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, that's the truth, no matter if you are willing to accept it or not, you can't change this. Before, we tried to get many Jingba brothers to entrust some land to their queens and let them manage it, but it didn't work. In two years, all of them will be out of business. Skilled tenant farmers, channels for water diversion, supply of seeds and farm implements, these are not things that our warriors can solve. Even if you send slaves, we will now give you dozens of hectares of land. , I want you to manage it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get the food to pay the tax."
Liu Yu said sternly: "We neglected this point before. To grow the land and spin the cloth requires technology and management. I thought that many of my brothers were farming at home before joining the army. Unlike me, who did not know farming at all, After the land is divided, I can manage it well, but I didn’t expect that when there are more land, it will also be impossible to manage.

Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Yes, just like letting the children of aristocratic families join the army, you can't expect them to be in the army for a few months to be able to charge into battle like the brothers in Beifu. I have to admit that in terms of management and management, the children of the noble family who have operated the manor in Wudi for nearly a hundred years are much better than your Jingba brothers."
Liu Yu said solemnly: "The problem is not that they don't have this ability, but that they have this ability, but they don't use it to be loyal to the country. They have to deal with the country's grain tax and use various means to reduce or exempt them, leaving a lot of grain and cloth. It all became their private property, and in the end there was a war in the country, and it was time to ask them to contribute."
Liu Muzhi said indifferently: "The tax rate is like this, there is no way, you can't say that the wealthy family is more taxed, and the ordinary people are less taxed. They can save more food, to put it bluntly. Because of their higher management level in the manor, the farmers and tenants under them are more skilled in farming, especially in terms of production conditions such as irrigation, seeds, and agricultural tools, and they have more advantages."
"It is also one mu of land. If it is a self-cultivation farmer with only fifty or sixty mu of land, it may produce about two stone of grain at most, but in Wudi's manor, they can produce three stone, five buckets or even four stone, the same thirty Tax one, their family manor can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth."
Liu Yu's brows wrinkled: "Can it be so much worse? Nearly double the output?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is still built on land in a similar area~EbookFREE.me~ The fertility of the land is quite similar. If it is in a different area, it will be farther apart. In Jiangzhou, Jiangbei and other places, the production It is possible for the output to be three or four times higher than that of the highly developed Wu land.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "No wonder at that time we had to assign land to the eight brothers in Beijing, and the opposition of these noble families was not so strong, so I accepted it at once. It turned out to be in my heart. It has become that their private grain storage is higher than that of the state, and it has become that we need to ask them in turn to do big things, how can this be good?

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "In the long run, it is necessary to wait for the children of the eight brothers in Beijing who were trained in the prelude to learn how to operate and manage the manor in these places, and then they can set up farms in the name of the country or Huangzhuang. Officials, farmers, specialize in letting people with management skills take care of these places to avoid the private management of the family. Only in this way can we achieve long-term stability and complete the plan to settle the fields.

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he said, "I'm afraid it will take more than ten years to train such talents. Is there any good solution in the short term?"
