My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 574 572 Cao Pi: I will be a workaholic

Opening various account books, Cao Pi felt his eyes darken.

According to Cao Cao's request, the system of planned and dictated land transfer should be promoted as quickly as possible in the north.

The so-called fastest speed is violent promotion. In other words, it is open robbery.

In the name of national policy, let the aristocratic families hand over their hidden properties, tenants, and the excess that is not covered by the policy.

According to the land allocation system of various counties in the south, which was the system of land allocation first proposed by Chu'an, an adult man had ten acres of permanent land, which could be passed down to his descendants, and twenty acres of official land, which had to be returned to the court after his death. , seventy acres are divided into fields for planting fruit trees or mulberry trees.

The elderly, women, or those with disabilities are entitled to 40 acres each, of which 10 acres are permanent land, 20 acres are government-granted land, and the remainder is oral land.

Among them, the head of the household added 30 acres, 10 acres of permanent land, and 20 acres of official land, so that as the head of the household, he could be given more land to support his family.

For example, a thirty-year-old man who has never married a wife or has any children, but is the head of a household, can be allocated 130 acres of land, 20 acres of permanent land, 40 acres of official land, and seven Ten acres of land are divided into fields.

But there are many fields that cannot be cultivated by one person, and the taxes and corvees that need to be borne are also beyond the capabilities of one person.

Therefore, at the beginning of dividing the land, strong measures must be taken to match this person with a woman so that he can reproduce his descendants. You must know that there is no shortage of beautiful wives and maids in aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi, who was a member of the aristocratic family, exhaled. The disaster of the aristocratic family was really the biggest reason for the turmoil in the dynasty.

The aristocratic family occupied land and people, and used unconventional means to hide their land and people, so that the court's tax revenue declined year by year, forcing the Emperor Ling to sell his official position, and this directly aggravated the family's misfortune.

Chu Anjun, who was able to come up with this strategy, was really brave enough to be the first to hit the shortcomings of the times, and he also implemented it with clever means.

If the south implements this policy and compares with the north, everyone will praise Liu Bei's benevolence, and the heart of the world will belong to Liu Xuande.

But fortunately, Cao Pi's father was also extraordinary. He held the army tightly in his hands and controlled the army's food and salary, so that the current situation could be achieved.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious.

In terms of soldiers and rations, they were inferior to the Confederate Army.

Fortunately, if the system of planning and dictating land transfer can be fully implemented, there will be no shortage of soldiers.

With this system, every aristocratic family or wealthy family will almost completely hand over the family's land to the tenant farmers and private slaves. By then, Cao Cao's extra soldiers will definitely exceed 200,000.

And this also became Cao Zhang's confidence to train the new army.

He is now the eldest son of the Cao Mansion, so he should put the overall situation first, and he should not have any rift with his younger brothers.

Cao Pi reflected on himself, and then continued to look at the account books.

In Xuzhou, many members of the gentry were serving as officials, and more than a dozen of them had titles.

At present, there is no special treatment just because someone in the gentry is an official or has a title. However, official positions and titles are still accompanied by official land, otherwise, these individuals who become officials will really rebel.

After all, the promotion of the dictated land system was still under the system of the Han Dynasty. Regarding these old systems of the Han Dynasty, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei had touched them for the time being.

The account book in front of him was Sima Yi's survey data on the wealthy families and aristocratic families in Xuzhou. Most of them were obtained directly from the prefecture and county yamen. Just the numbers on it made his heart move.

The actual number will only be higher than this, even several times higher.

Once implemented, the number of soldiers alone will be at least 30,000 to 40,000 more, and these extra soldiers will not affect local farming in Xuzhou.

However, this workload is indeed a lot, so it's no wonder that Sima Yi's eyes are dark and he looks like he doesn't have enough sleep.

Is there no one to give Sima Yi a deputy?

Cao Pi didn't understand, but he had to understand.

This was an offending job, and Cao Cao did not let his sons get it, just to preserve a chance of survival. So, Cao Pi took a breath.

Sima Yi's condition was obviously reaching its limit.

The promotion of Jiguotian is of extremely important significance to the Cao family.

It will take at least two to four months for the war to occur. During this period, he can assist Sima Yi to implement the plan as soon as possible and increase his chances of winning.

In this way, even if he did not achieve great success on the main battlefield, he could still get credit for promoting the system of oral assignment of land.

After making up his mind, Cao Pi continued to flip through various books.

Each state and county has different registers, and the manpower required is also different.

Along with the army, in addition to soldiers, there were nearly a hundred literate men and women.

After being familiar with the work in Jizhou and Yanzhou, this group of people have become quite proficient in handling their respective tasks.

However, like Sima Yi, they also did not have a good rest.

"Come here, please invite Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhou and others to come here." Cao Pi quickly ordered his attendants to bring more than 20 people he had brought from Wu County who were interested in serving as officials in the north. The literati brought it.

At this time, the more people there are, the better.

And the literati who have been tired for three months will definitely be very happy to have someone join their work.

He earned this wave of favors by changing hands.

"promise."

After giving the instructions, Cao Pi thought for a while, then took a pen and paper and prepared to report to Cao Cao.

The general idea is that the promotion of the dictated land system is closely related to the ensuing war. However, Sima Yi, nearly a hundred literati and other soldiers have been exhausted in the past three months.

Since he is in Xuzhou, he should contribute to this effort, even if he will be hated by others later.

It would also allow Sima Yi and others to take a break and lay a solid foundation for subsequent work in other states and counties.

At the same time, it was also suggested that Cao Cao choose more children from the Cao and Xiahou families to work in order to reduce the pressure on his father.

And sincerely hope that Cao Cao can rest for a while, his health is the most important thing.

He also said that he had been out for a long time and was afraid that Cao Rui would miss him, so he asked Cao Cao to take care of his grandson in his spare time.

After writing it, I checked it and found that there was no omission, so I had the letter sealed and sent to Yecheng quickly.

"Surveying fields, verifying population, and registering." Cao Pi sighed silently. Doesn't the workload of one state require hundreds of people to work desperately?

After that, he also devoted himself physically and mentally.

It wasn't until the next day that the attendants brought over the twenty or so people, and Cao Pi asked the scholar who was originally in charge to teach these people to help.

"Thank you, Master, for taking care of us!" The original group of people almost cried.

"Thank you, sir!"

After all, like Sima Yi, they had only slept less than two hours a day for the past three months, and even got to the point where they could fall asleep while riding horses.

Now that someone is here to share the work, they are naturally happy!
