Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 982 He Must Live Until That Time

Chapter [-] He must live until then

As a giant standing on the shoulders of history, Chen Ying sees it more clearly than Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who are the most allied in the Tang Dynasty.The biggest root of Tang Dynasty's turn from prosperity to decline did not lie in Li Longji, but in the early Tang Dynasty.Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, who both formulated the framework structure of the Tang Dynasty and the law of Wude.

Just like Zuyong's modulation, in February of the second year of Wude (619), Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty stipulated that "rent two stones, two feet of silk, and three taels of cotton" per dina.Ding Nan was over 20 years old and was granted [-] mu of land, of which [-] mu was Yongye land and [-] mu was subdivision land.Return to the field after death.The government collects rent and adjustments from the people based on land grant records.Regardless of rich or poor, all pay a fixed amount of rent.

With the help of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng formulated this rent-yong adjustment, which greatly eased the embarrassment of the Tang Dynasty since the defeat of the Qianshuiyuan in the first year of Wude and the financial depletion, and laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Jiancheng did not consider that any political system has a certain timeliness.Once the population increases explosively and exceeds the capacity of the land, it will lead to great changes.The adjustment of the rent-yong must be coordinated with the equal-field system. Once the equal-field is destroyed, the law of the rent-yong adjustment will fail. After the Wu Zhou Dynasty, due to the increase in population and continuous land mergers, the imperial court no longer has land to implement the equal-field system. The payment of fixed rent adjustments made farmers unable to afford it, and most of them fled.

Of course, whether it was the defeat of Taros or Dafeichuan, including the later Anshi Rebellion, the biggest root cause was actually the collapse of the rent-yong modulation system.

The collapse of a founding system is also the fall of a dynasty.Cao Cao Xing also farms, and Cao Wei also farms when he loses.The Ming Dynasty prospered and defeated the military household system.The Manchus succeeded in iron crops, and lost in iron crops, turning 300 million people into stupid pigs.As for Chang Shenkai, he was a Whampoa in success and Whampoa in defeat.

No one can escape this reincarnation, no one can break this vicious circle.

Chen Ying can clearly see the disadvantages of Zuyong's modulation. Chen Ying believes that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, even Wang Gui, Wei Ting, including Yang Gongren, and even Yuwen Shi and them, must also be able to see this problem.The point is, they are all smart people, and they all want to be wise and protect themselves.

Naturally, Chen Ying was not willing to be the top bird. He understood the reason that the top citron rotted first. Chen Ying did not want to be Shang Yang. Any political reform would be bloody and would inevitably touch the cheese of the vested interest class, so But whoever reforms first will not end well, and will definitely bring disaster to future generations.

Chen Ying didn't want to be Shang Yang, and it wasn't easy to see Datang continue on the original path, going further and further away. Therefore, when he was appointed as the Chief Protector of the Western Regions, he consciously implemented the system of dividing the land into the mu.

Internal governance is not like a battlefield, where the enemy is there, leading the soldiers to crush them all the way, and finally win.Even if the troops are at a disadvantage, Chen Ying is not worried. After all, he can use his golden fingers, the power of science, and the power of equipment to make up for the disadvantage in numbers.

So when he was in Anxi, Chen Ying adopted the strategy of using a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other. With the prestige of protecting Khan's 20 troops and defeating Murong Fuyun's [-] troops, Chen Ying carried out the assimilation very smoothly.

Of course, the same is true in Tibet.The ordinary Tibetan slaves and people here are also very simple, but for their tribal leaders, because of their different education, they are not uncivilized barbarians, but very smart people. It's a monkey.

Following Chen Ying's order, the 300 million slaves in Tubo were smashed and their shackles were broken. Each of them was allocated a piece of land, and Datang Tongli Bank gave them loans to develop cultivation.Of course, every new farmer needs to pay a tenth of his income in tax.

Chen Ying has supreme prestige in Tubo, and he encountered resistance in promoting the movement to liberate the serfs. However, whether these anti-Songtsan Gampo tribal leaders, or the leaders of various ministries in Tubo, they dare not Resisting with force, the smoke of Songbangbao had just cleared, and everyone dared not try. Chen Ying once again sacrificed the sky thunder.

After all, the miracles they passed on by word of mouth have not been truly verified, and the miracles performed by Chen Ying, they have all seen with their own eyes.

Facing such an envoy walking in the world, they dare not resist with force.

After more than half a month of consultations with the tribal leaders of the Anti-Songtsan Gampo Alliance, five representatives headed by Andonaji came to Chen Ying with a calm attitude, hoping that Chen Ying would give them a explain.

Chen Ying looked at Andonaji, and said with a look of hatred: "A bunch of idiots whose foreheads were kicked by donkeys!"

Although An Tuo Naji didn't speak well in Tang Yan, he could understand the general meaning. Of course, when Chen Ying scolded him, he would never dare to speak back.

Andonaji nodded again and again, "Yes... yes... yes. General Chen taught me the lesson!"

Chen Ying said without pretending: "If you say you are stupid, don't believe it. The general asked you, how much food can you earn a year now?"

Andonaji thought for a while and said, "Thirteen thousand bags!"

In fact, this is his own cleverness. In fact, even if the weather is good, he only earns about eight or nine thousand bags of barley. As a tribal leader, he needs to feed the warriors, and also needs to buy armor and weapons. Every year, life is very tight.

Chen Ying pointed to Anduo Naji and said, "The Anduo town you govern now has 3000 forts under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 8000 people, among whom there are 18 people in total, and a tax of ten stones is charged for each town. Even if you eat [-] shi of highland barley, even if you roll them around, you won’t be able to finish them all!”

Andonaji was taken aback when he heard the words, as if that was really the case.

He himself clearly remembered that his annual income was less than [-] shi for grain, and now he would charge twenty times more, so he immediately felt relieved.

Chen Ying would definitely not tell Andonaji that the original Anduo Tribe had less than [-] people, and the young and strong members of the tribe added up to over [-]. Now, Chen Ying sent Tubo troops and their There are more than [-] family members, and the total population of Andor has tripled.

After hearing Chen Ying's explanation, Andonaji and the other four representatives went back happily.

Although the slaves of their tribe have been turned into self-cultivators in the Tang Dynasty, they only need a high income.

After Andonaji left, Ma Zhou looked at Andonaji's back and said: "My lord, you shouldn't deceive Andonaji with this, the Tibetans are all convinced, once you let Andonaji relax Come on, he will definitely resent the Lord.”

"There is a premise that he must live to that time.

PS: After sitting in the car for a whole day, I couldn't carry it any longer, so I fell asleep now.
