I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 395: Ending the official field and giving it to all people

Upon hearing this.

Li Yuan immediately quit: "Brother Zheng, don't mention the military camp. I am very dignified at home."

But as soon as his words came out.

Li Yuan's eyes widened and she looked at Li Zheng with some surprise: "Just do whatever you want."

Qin Wan'er on the side covered her mouth and smiled: "Li Yuan, I said you are still pretending. Who doesn't know you? You should stop pretending. We are all a family from now on."

"Stinky girl, you are so bad, why should I pretend?" Li Yuan said coquettishly.

……

time flies.

blink.

More than twenty days have passed.

In Chang'an City, everything is calm.

Li Zheng reviewed the memorials every day.

In the political hall.

"A report came back from the southern border."

"Zhenla and Nanzhao have completed thorough reorganization and control."

"The original armies of the two countries have also been reorganized, with a total strength of more than 230,000."

"Prince Jiangxia, what should I do next?"

Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin and said.

The memorial in hand was passed back from the southern border.

"You should have a plan in mind." Li Shimin smiled.

"I plan to establish a prefecture in Zhenla and Nanzhao each. I will abolish the names of Zhenla and Nanzhao and establish Lingnan Prefecture."

"Wei Zheng is temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Lingnan Prefecture."

"What do you think, Father?" Li Zheng asked.

"If the citizens still exist, I'm afraid they will still have thoughts about the people of the original two countries. This is the reason why the country's name is abolished and a county is established."

"It's just that with a population of 10 million, this can be called the number one county in the Tang Dynasty."

"Although they are all in charge of the Tang Dynasty now, the dignitaries and landlords of the two countries will never remain honest."

"We still need to send heavy troops to guard it."

"And we must give more comfort to the people in these two places, otherwise they will miss their homeland and break the hearts of those powerful people." Li Shimin said solemnly.

At the beginning of the country's subjugation, those powerful people who had lost their former power would definitely have a lot of thoughts.

"The two countries are now at war."

"My son, I have an idea, which can be regarded as a pilot for the future of the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"What do you think?" Li Shimin asked immediately.

Li Zheng did not speak, but took a piece of white paper, picked up the pen and wrote your words on it: "Finish the field and give it to all people."

Li Shimin was shocked and immediately understood what his prince was going to do.

"Elaborate."

Li Shimin said immediately.

"Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, and fields are the key."

"Father, you also said that not long after the founding of our Tang Dynasty, it was also the most powerful moment of our Tang Dynasty. At that time, the land in the world had not been occupied by the rich and powerful, and the current Zhenla and Nanzhao were equivalent to my newborn country. Don, you must seize this opportunity."

"Otherwise, problems will arise in the fields again." "While the two places are still at war, and the order to withdraw the troops has not yet been issued, all the fertile land in Lingnan will be collected as state-owned official land. All official land is not allowed to be sold. Private possession is not allowed, everything must be registered in the official register and reported directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs," Li Zheng said seriously.

"Then how to give this land to the people?" Li Shimin asked.

“Tax in lieu of rent.”

"When the people of the Tang Dynasty are granted official land based on their household registration, the tax is the rental fee. As long as the tax is paid to the court, it is the land rent. This is implemented in Lingnan now, and the Tang Dynasty can do the same in the future."

"A clear look will eliminate the need for those powerful people to oppress the people with high land rents."

"We, the Tang Dynasty, established our country in the world, and all the surrounding countries were under the invisible influence of our Datang Dynasty. It is the same in this country. The rich and powerful have taken over fertile land too much, and the people at the bottom are miserable. As long as our country, the Tang Dynasty, implements such a national policy, the millions of people in Lingnan will definitely return. , If they rebel against the Tang Dynasty and the people don't follow it, they will be like grasshoppers," Li Zheng said carefully.

When Li Shimin heard this, Li An also showed an expression of emotion, full of brilliance: "What a trick, one stone, three birds."

"Firstly, the fields will be returned to the state, secondly, they can be directly given to the people for planting, and thirdly, they can attack the powerful and powerful families."

"Li Zheng, this is a good strategy."

"Although this implementation will be hindered by the powerful people in Lingnan who annex fertile land, compared to the success, their resistance will be minimal."

"Our Tang Dynasty has half a million troops in Lingnan, and they can still rebel." Li Shimin laughed and directly agreed with Li Zheng's proposal.

Hear the words.

Li Zheng was not polite. He directly picked up his pen and wrote on Li Daozong's memorial: "From now on, Zhenla and Nanzhao will abolish their national titles, and the original territories of the two countries will be merged into one, Lingnan prefecture. Wei Zheng will temporarily be the prefect and be in charge of Lingnan." Government Affairs.”

"In addition, within the territory of Lingnan, all fertile land, regardless of the dignitaries or commoners, will be collected and no sale will be allowed. After it is taken back to the imperial court, it will be given to the people based on their household registration population. Regardless of the dignitaries and civilians, they will be divided according to their household registration population. Those with five household registrations will not be allowed to be slaves. Divide the fields.”

"After the land is distributed, the tenancy will be replaced by the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty."

"Anyone who cultivates good land and pays taxes for the court is exempted from tenant rent."

"Other."

"Returning government land is a national policy. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed."

"The army is guarding it for this reason."

With the writing of the pen and the seal of the seal, the will was fulfilled.

"It depends on the effectiveness of this matter. If it is feasible, using Lingnan as a test site, we can implement it in the Tang Dynasty in the future." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded: "Once the Tang Dynasty implements it, it is destined to be bloody. For those powerful and wealthy families who are not satisfied, this will kill them."

"I don't mind a bloodbath for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng sneered.

He is not the kind of cowardly person. Coming out of the battlefield, he has seen too much killing and too much bloodshed.

It was for my family before and for the future.

So it's the same now, for your own empire and for the eternal life of the empire.

"I'm still alive. If I want to kill you, it won't be your turn. The future successor will have less blood on his hands." Li Shimin laughed.

About killing people?
He, Li Shimin, conquered the world with one blow and one kill. How many emperors in the past dynasties killed more people than he did with his own hands?
"Report."

"Chen Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, would like to see you."

Wang De's voice sounded outside the hall.

"What's the matter with Chen Jing?" Li Shimin frowned.

Since Tang Jian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was seriously ill, Chen Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, temporarily took charge of the Household Affairs Bureau.

Chen Jing was senior, and Li Shimin originally admired him. However, after he later participated in the party's struggle for Li Chen's position, Li Shimin did not have a good impression of him. However, there is currently a shortage of people in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he will wait until his prince succeeds to the throne. It's time to clean up.

"Xuan."

Li Shimin said.

Chen Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, walked quickly into the main hall with an eager look on his face.
