Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 637 Let the people build a shrine for me

Jia Liu didn't want to distribute the land to households on a whim, but the real situation of Zhili's land forced him to distribute the land.

There is no way, the Eight Banners occupy too much land in Zhili.

In the early days of the country, the land was enclosed within a range of 77 miles near Beijing, starting from Shanhaiguan in the east, Taihang Mountain in the west, the Great Wall in the north, and Shunde Prefecture in the south. There were three large-scale enclosures, covering a total of 19 hectares in the [-] states and counties under Zhili. Fertile land.

One hectare is 1900 mu of land, that is to say, the total amount of good land owned by the Eight Banners in Zhili is more than [-] million mu.

How many lands does Zhili Province have?
When Jia Liu was in Baoding, Buzheng Lao Yang gave a report on land and finance.

As for the land, according to the statistics of the Chief Envoy’s Household House, 50.00% of the total fertile land in the province is the flag field, and the rest is the private land.

The total number of fertile land in the province is about 3600 million mu.

That is to say, Jialiu, the six provinces and eleven prefectures under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili, except for Guangping and Daming two prefectures in the south, is scattered all over the Eight Banners farms, accounting for about half of them.

All the prefecture and county land within [-] miles of Beijing is owned by the Eight Banners, and there is not even an acre of private land!

Half of the good land in the territory has become the banner field, which leads to the province's area including northern Henan, all of Hebei, eastern Shanxi, most of Inner Mongolia, and all of Tianjin's Zhili obviously owns nearly one million square kilometers of land, but the tax revenue is far less than that of the south. Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are much smaller, are not even as good as their neighbors Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi.

In terms of fiscal revenue, Zhili’s annual treasury tax silver is less than 4 million taels, including salt tax, customs duties, tea tax and mining tax.

It ranks [-]th among all provinces in the country in terms of warehousing taxes, and the top five are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan.

The highest amount of money, grain, salt tax, and customs duties in Jiangsu totaled more than 900 million taels.

The No.2 Zhejiang cliff fell to only 420 million taels, which was only half of that of Jiangsu.

In the past few years, Sichuan's fiscal revenue was less than one million taels, and it was in deficit every year. It needed the cooperation of rich provinces to maintain it.

That is, the financial transfer of future generations.

The data was not fabricated by Jia Liu, but was made public by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The provincial governors and government officials have corresponding reference data. It can be said that the proportion of tax and silver in each province is also a reference standard for the imperial court to compare governors and officials in various places.

As a super-large province with nearly one million square kilometers of land and a population close to 30 million, Zhili's taxes are obviously not on the table.

The root cause is that half of the land was divided up by more than one million bannermen.

Of the more than 2800 million people in Zhili, except for urban residents, [-]% of them are either farming in the Eight Banners farms or renting the fields of bannermen.

There are also some Han people who directly invested their land in the bannerman in order to avoid taxes. The total amount of this piece of land is more than [-] million mu.

Compared with the tenants who leased the bannermen's land, the life of the Han people who invested in it was better, because they didn't have to pay the formal tax to the court.

The first reason for depositing is to prevent people from being occupied, and all people and land will be lost;
The second is to avoid tax and seek cheapness.

The fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that it could not collect taxes, and the reason for not collecting taxes was that a large amount of land was given to the gentry class with fame.

The land owned by the gentry was not taxed, or taxed less. This was the preferential treatment given to scholars by Ming Taizu, and he did not want to become the root of the country's subjugation.

There are also a large number of hidden households who are willing to be tenants for the gentry in order to avoid taxes.

According to the official statistics of the Ministry of Households in the Ming Dynasty, the population was only over [-] million, but the number of hidden households was three times that of the official figure, reaching nearly [-] million.

This is also the reason why later historians debated the population of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the various policies of the Ming Dynasty, one group concluded that the population of the Ming Dynasty was 50 million and [-] million, and then based on the Qing Dynasty's own historical records and related historical materials that flowed abroad, it is estimated that the Han population decreased by more than [-] million after the Qing army entered the customs.

It is the most serious extinction event in Chinese and foreign history.

One faction insists that the population of the Ming Dynasty was only over 18 million, which can explain why the population of the whole country was only 3 million in the [-] years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

Decades of war and chaos, it is obvious that you Han people killed each other and caused the population to drop sharply. What is the matter with the Qing soldiers?
Due to the need for solidarity, the data of the Ming Dynasty's population of more than 60 million appeared everywhere and appeared in various books, regardless of the fact that the Ming Dynasty had a population of [-] million when it was founded.

It is not absurd.

In order to quell the debate, the peacemakers gave the statement of a population of 1.5 million, admitting that the entry of the Qing army did cause disasters to the Chinese population, but how much, specifically, cannot be said.

The history of the Nanming period is basically sketched.

There is no way, talk, textual research, research, it is easy to produce contradictions.

Some histories must be kept in mind, and some cannot be remembered.

Across the Yangtze River, more than 800,000 people died on the opposite side, and [-] people died here. Which one should we commemorate?
The three provinces in the Southwest were so far away that no one was seen for thousands of miles. Even Hong Chengchou begged the court not to let the soldiers kill people. How could this kind of thing be reflected in the textbooks?

Of course, Jia Liu should not keep the history in mind too much, because he also needs to look forward.

After all, it has been a hundred years, and he also killed many thugs that the fourth devil had cultivated with all his strength, and even made the fourth devil out of Yongshou Palace.

I can't say I'm satisfied, but I feel a little bit of a sense of accomplishment anyway.

The Eight Banners took half of the land in the Zhili circle, which of course made Zhili's tax revenue inferior to other provinces.

The number and scale of the enclosed land is a hundred times greater than the land awarded to the vassal princes by the Ming Dynasty.

The existence of a large number of banner fields will inevitably lead to further expansion of land conflicts.

Therefore, Jia Liu must be ruthless to divide the territory of the Eight Banners, and completely solve this unstable factor that affects the stability of Zhili.

The good news is that the enclosure has nothing to do with the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

When they first entered the customs, the Eight Banners of the Han Army had few troops, and the main force was King Sanshun.

King Sanshun later led his troops to the south, so when the Eight Banners divided up the fruits of victory in the north, very few fell into their pockets.

It is the existence of a group of cannon fodder pioneers.

In addition, Kong Youde committed suicide after being defeated by the Ming army, and the Geng family and the monk family rebelled, so the fruit of the natural enclosure has nothing to do with them.

After the Ming army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the pass was organized into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, it did not have the right to enclose land.

What qualifications does the newly surrendered puppet army have to enjoy equal rights with Zhenman?

Even if Jia Liu recruits people to join the association now, it depends on the people.

Those within the Eight Banners of the Han Army who can get a small portion of the fruit in the enclosure are the few old Liaodong Han Army.

Most of these are actually Jurchen.

Such as the Tong family, the Shi family and so on.

Most of the so-called banner fields of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were either obtained by the ancestors with rewards for military exploits, or they were bought from the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia with money.

The less well-behaved ones, like the Han people, are also rented to plant.

This is how the [-] mu of land that the sixth patriarch of Jia inherited from Jia Han came from this way, but now the land belonging to the Jia family is only more than [-] mu, and everything else has been wiped out.

If it hadn't been for Heshen's way, Jia Liu would have sold the dozens of acres of land, and used the money to go south to fight guerrillas.

It is a good thing to distribute the land of the Eight Banners of Mongolia to the landless Han people, and it is a benevolent government. It can also make Jia Liu a big blue sky supported by the 30 million people in Zhili. support from the common people.

Because whoever touches Master Jia Jia is the lifeblood of the 30 million people in Zhili!
At that time, there must be enthusiastic support, desperate to push Mr. Jia Jia into the Forbidden City, and invite him to sit on the dragon chair.

The problem is that this really touched the cake!

To put it bluntly, what is the difference between dividing the land under the Eight Banners and rebelling against the Qing Dynasty?
No matter how hard you Jia Liu fights with Aixinjueluo, what does it have to do with other Manchurians?
Aren't the Eight Banners all slaves of Aixinjueluo? If you want to talk about anti-Qing, which one of the Eight Banners hasn't done it in a century?

So you can fight at the top, but don't affect the bannermen at the bottom.

Divide the land, that is to be the enemy of all Manchurian Banners!

To divide the land is to divide the flesh and blood of the Qing Dynasty!
It is to completely deny the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty!
They are reactionaries who plot to overthrow the Qing Dynasty!

Can Lao Fu agree?
Can Master Se agree?

Even Jia Liu himself has a bunch of Mongolian bannermen under his command. Apart from Sichuan governor Li Shijie and Zhili governor Yang Jingsu, who else is Han Chinese?

How many of these Manchu and Mongolian bannermen can jump out of the small circle of class like Jia Liu?
So if this matter is not done well, it is to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone, and make yourself a common enemy of the Manchurian Banner people all over the world.

With Jia Liu's current strength, can he risk the disgrace of the world?

Of course not.

Ding Qing was also the first to advise the governor not to do this. Even if he waited for the new army's five towns to practice and then did it, he, deputy director Ding, would not say a word.

Whether it is Cao Mang or Taizu, there must be strong force to support it.

Deputy Director Ding has no objection to overthrowing the Qing Dynasty.

If the Qing Dynasty survives, these people have to worry that someone will settle their accounts after the fall.

With regard to the nasty things that the Gongjinhui has done since its establishment, which one is not enough to punish the nine clans?
But the goal is firm and true, isn't the pace a little thicker?
This will put yourself on the stage and invite people to attack, the gain outweighs the loss.

"I've also taken your worries into consideration. Of course we can't completely overthrow the state policy of land enclosure, but there are ways around everything. You must know that the imperial court still owes me a large amount of land."

Jia Liu said that the court owed him a large amount of land, which was actually the land of several hat kings who participated in the palace chaos.

Theoretically, the leaders of the four rebellious families, Prince Xian's Mansion, Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion, and Prince Pingjun's Mansion, were all killed by Jia Liu.

In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, should the flag fields occupied by these four hat kings belong to Jia Liu?

Don't all belong to him, half of the head office?
Last year, Jia Liu had a dispute with Lao Fu over the flag field of the four hat kings.

According to the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Zhuang's Mansion has 55 mu of flag fields, Prince Xian's Mansion has 90 mu of flag fields, Prince Jian's Mansion has about 70 mu of flag fields, and Pingjun Wangfu's Mansion has 47 mu of flag fields.

The four palaces have a total of more than 260 million mu of flag fields. In addition, the four palaces have successively purchased their own land over the years. The total amount may be less than the flag fields, but the scale must be very considerable. It is conservatively estimated that the four banner fields and their own fields add up to at least More than 400 million mu.

There is also Prince Kang's Mansion. Prince Kang Yongen was killed by Jia Liu's subordinate Yan Yuji, but Prince Kang's Mansion was not executed.

But since Yongen participated in the conspiracy, there is no reason for Prince Kang's mansion to be passed on.

When discussing the new hat king in Beijing, no one said that Prince Kang's mansion should be kept.

This Prince Kang's mansion is also the direct inheritance of Prince Li Daishan, and it can be said to be the head of the hat king.

There are probably more than [-] million mu of flag fields and self-owned fields under the name.

In addition to the land, those princes who committed crimes also have a large number of real estate shops, and it must be an astronomical figure to sell them all.

The people who killed themselves, and the homes that were stolen by themselves, why can't these lands and wealth belong to Jia Liu?
At that time, Jia Liu really wanted to eat it all, but he couldn't eat it when it arrived, because there were too many factors involved.

To put it bluntly, it is not strong enough.

So this has been a gossip.

Now, Jia Liu decided to make a fuss about it.

Change!
Theoretically, he exchanged the flag field and the self-owned land of the treasonous prince who should be distributed to the forces he belongs to with the flag field of Yongping Mansion.

Then carry out a pilot project of dividing land in Yongping Prefecture.

Why take Yongping Mansion as a pilot project?

Because all the land titles of Yongping Prefecture belong to Zhengbai Banner.

When the Qing army entered the customs, the standard of the Eight Banners enclosure was allocated according to the order of the left and right wings.

Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner was stationed in Yongping Mansion, so Yongping, which should have been assigned to Xianghuang Banner, was allocated to Zhengbai Banner, and Xianghuang Banner was divided into Baoding Mansion, Hejian Mansion and Zhuozhou area at the end of the right wing.

In fact, there are only two or three out of ten of Manzhou, which was originally on the Three Banners, and the rest have all traveled westward.

According to the later statistics of Shuntian Prefecture, there were as many as 110,000 people in Manchuria who died in the Shangsanqi during the palace chaos, and tens of thousands of manpower were used just to dispose of these corpses.

Therefore, the current Zhengbai Banner was rebuilt by Lao Fu in order to win over the other banners, which would reduce Jia Liu's resistance to changing the land.

Jia Liu's meaning is very simple. Lao Fu returned all the 320 million mu of flag fields in Yongping Mansion to Zhili, and Jia Liu, the governor of Zhili, would dispose of it himself.

The land near Beijing that should have been allocated to him was allocated to Xinjian Zhengbaiqi.

As a result, Jia Liu was happy, Xinjian Zhengbaiqi was happy, and old Fu Hese was also happy.

In terms of land value alone, the land on the edge of the capital is the most valuable.

The land price here in Yongping is only two-thirds of the land price near the capital, or even less.

Ding Qing understood, and was a little surprised: "Didn't your lord suffer a loss?"

"It doesn't matter whether you lose money or not, as long as the people can get favors. You know that I am a human being, and I would rather suffer myself than the people."

Jia Liu looked frank.

Once the old rich agreed to the land exchange plan, he immediately began to measure the fertile land in Yongping Prefecture, and immediately allocated the land to households.

Just like the Shanhaiguan side, as long as the opening of the Qitian land distribution is opened, it will be easy to deal with later.

The first person to eat crabs must eat crab claws first, and it is impossible to eat crab roe first.

But crab roe, absolutely cannot escape the fate of the stomach.

"Your Excellency really broke his heart for the sake of the people, and he really did the world for the public!"

Deputy Director Ding was quite moved.

No one would take out millions of acres of land and divide it up just like that.

But Master Jia Jia did it!

Really selfless, wholeheartedly for the people, a role model for all people who don't bring life with death!

"As long as the people can say hello to me, and say that I, the governor, is a good official and can follow me to make progress, my wish will be fulfilled."

Concerned about the country and the people, Jia Liu, who was so worried about the Qing Dynasty, stepped into the carriage with heavy steps. When he lay down to rest, his eyes suddenly opened again, and then he raised the car curtain, facing the person who was explaining matters Deputy Director Ding said: "By the way, when the time comes, the land will be divided. Not only will the newspapers have a lot to say, but the people will also be mobilized to build a shrine for me, understand?"
