A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 446: Digesting the Peninsula’s Royal Enlightenment
The aristocratic family manor that appeared in Daqian did not have too much binding force on the clan.After all, although it is a manor, the household registration is separate and the land is also separate.

The land owned by the direct descendants of Chen's manor is only ten hectares, which is one thousand acres of land, reaching the upper limit, but all the shops and workshops in the manor belong to the direct descendants.There are also twenty hectares of sacrificial land and twenty hectares of public land in the manor, which are also in his hands.

Although the Daqian Law levies double tax on a family holding more than [-] acres of land, public land and sacrificial land are not included in this.

When the law was originally enacted, there was a heated debate over whether to include public land and sacrifices to heaven in the clause doubling taxes on land with an area of ​​more than [-] acres.

Legalists supported the inclusion of public land for sacrificial fields, while Confucians strongly opposed it.After all, sacrificial land is used to worship ancestors, and public land is used to support some widowers, widows, orphans, and independent members of the family, or to bear the expenses required for public affairs.

According to the traditions of Zhu Xia, it is correct to worship ancestors and support the widowed and lonely, and it is also what Zhu Xia civilization advocates.

Confucianism advocates a harmonious society, while Legalism advocates the rule of law. In both social forms, worshiping ancestors and subsidizing widows and orphans are respected. Therefore, the two types of land, public land and sacrifice land, are treated differently.

However, Confucianism won one game, but it did not win completely. Although Legalists agreed with Confucianism, they then calculated the Confucian public land, the output of offering sacrifices to heaven, and the needs of offering sacrifices to widows, widows, orphans, and singles. Finally, The upper limit is twenty hectares.

Therefore, Confucianism won but did not completely win.

The chief of the Gongtian Sacrifice Field has great power to dispose of the land, so although on the surface it seems that the direct descendant of the clan only has ten hectares of land, he actually controls most of the power in the clan.

Even if the ordinary tribesmen control some land, they are unable to fight against the tribe leader.

What's more, compared to the output of fields, the output of business is higher, and it has advantages economically, politically, and even educationally.The emergence of Saga Manor is inevitable.

Under the manor economy, the manor owners control almost most things. At the same time, they will train economic scholars and officials from an early age. As long as they are passed down from generation to generation, their strength will become stronger and stronger.

Even if it comes to the end of the dynasty, these manor owners have fertile land, tens of thousands of servants, and various craftsmen, and they can form their own army.This was the case in the late Western Jin Dynasty in real history.

Even before the Jin Dynasty, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was already like this. The nobles had fertile land, connected counties across states, and even local powerful people were like this.It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: A wealthy man's house consists of hundreds of buildings, his fields are filled with fields, and his servants are thousands of people, with thousands of followers.

The Mi family who funded Liu Bei could directly recruit tens of thousands of servants to form an army.Although Le Jin who supported Cao Cao was not as good as the Mi family, he did not make too many concessions.

In the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this situation will become more serious.

There are two aristocratic families, Wang and Xie. Let’s not talk about the Wang family for now. The Xie family only has a manor in Xie Xuan, which is ‘bordered by the Yangtze River on the right, mountains on the left, flat tombs and bridges, and a clear lake with a distant mirror’.

Such a manor covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, and the Xie family has more than a dozen such manors.In real history, when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nanchen, the registered population of Nanchen was 200 million.Half of southern China has a population of 200 million. One can imagine how many people from those aristocratic families have hidden themselves.

Now that the emergence of aristocratic families has taken shape, the court can only issue laws to restrict it, but it cannot ban it.After all, compared to Xungui, the aristocratic family at this time was more advanced.If the imperial court can continue to be strong, these aristocratic families will naturally become a boost to the country.

Of course, according to the current decree of the imperial court, it is impossible to develop the family manor to the level of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, let alone the Western Jin Dynasty.

The seventh year of Emperor Qian Yuanfeng's reign.

It has been two years since the establishment of Lelang County. In the past two years, the imperial court has immigrated to Lelang County with more than [-] people.Compared with Liaodong, Xiyu and Mobei, the climate environment of Lelang County is much better.

In addition, it is located in the Datong River Plain with abundant water resources, which is conducive to farming. It is much easier to immigrate here.Because Jizi Korea was still in the slave system before, and most of the civilians were slaves. After the arrival of Daqian purged the upper class, they distributed farmland to the lower class civilians, and quickly gained the support of these people.

At the same time, Wang Yun took advantage of the situation and implemented a change of customs here. Anyway, more than [-]% of these civilians were slaves in the past. What customs did they have?Therefore, Daqian's customs were quickly accepted by them.

After accepting the change of customs, Wang Yun began to implement Ganyu in Lelang County.However, compared with changing customs, the implementation of Ganyu is much more difficult. After all, Wang Yun cannot find so many people who are proficient in both languages.

However, Wang Yun is not in a hurry. Wang Yun only needs guidance. If he wants to become an official, he must learn Ganyu. These people will naturally take the initiative to learn.Wang Yun just hired hundreds of people to teach Ganyu every day, and a large number of people came to learn it every day.

In addition to these, Wang Yun also invited several farm children from Luoyang, and then asked these farm children to teach farming skills.

After occupying the peninsula, Wang Yun discovered that the farming technology here lagged far behind that of the Central Plains. Not to mention the continuous cropping system, even the cattle farming technology had just appeared.Most of the farm tools are made of wood and bone, and there are basically no iron farm tools.

Daqian's farming technology is equivalent to black technology here, and coupled with the iron-clad farm tools, it directly accelerated Lelang County's farming technology by hundreds of years.Grain output has increased from less than 180 kilograms per mu to [-] kilograms.

In order to completely control Lelang County, Wang Yun exiled all the nobles of Lelang County to the Western Regions. As the original capital of Jizi North Korea, Lelang County had a large population and more than 3 nobles. These people were escorted after their homes were ransacked. Western Region.

The people from the Western Regions are very different from them in appearance and accent. These people can only survive by relying on the Dagan people.Moreover, after being far away from his homeland and coming to the Western Region, he couldn't even run away.

These people look similar to the Gan people and can easily integrate into the vassal states of the Western Regions.

After these nobles were exiled to the Western Regions, everything in Lelang County basically fell into the hands of Daqian. It only took one or two generations to manage this land and it would become the inherent territory of Zhuxia.

Wang has always been a strong supporter of the expansion of Zhuxia territory.After migrating a large number of nobles, Lelang County's farming technology has also been improved, and it can feed a larger population. Coupled with the policies of the Daqian court, in the next ten years, Lelang County's population will increase Improve quickly.

At the same time, the imperial court also began to continue to immigrate here, and at the same time moved people from here to other places, accelerating the assimilation of this place.
