C421 Contractual systems

Before the Imperial Examinations were implemented, culture had always been in the hands of the hereditary valve, and the descendants of ancient clans practiced martial arts and grasped the heritage of culture. No matter who is in power, no one is allowed to pass it on to the family. The rivers and mountains that were beaten always needed to be managed by others. Those who could read and write were all in the hands of the hereditary valve.

Even the famous and formidable Cao Cao Cao had no choice but to lower his head to hereditary valve.

After the Five Clans colluded with the strange Hu to rebel against the Qin State. Xie Fei ordered everyone to kill him, but the hereditary valve of the world did not hold high hopes for him. The descendants of the five clans held the authority of a majority of the County s in the entire prefecture, so it would be unavoidable for the entire prefecture to fall into a state of paralysis if they were to fall out. Moreover, the number of hereditary valve s on good terms with the Five Great Clans were countless. The Qing He Chui s and the Xi He Zhong Clan had a marriage relationship, and the Fan Yang Lou's s had a relationship with the Yan Clan.

The West River Zhong family was the same as the Yingchuan family. They evolved from the same surname. Although the influence of the West River Zhong family couldn't be compared to the Yingchuan family, it wasn't easy to underestimate them either. The West River Zhong Clan was divided into thirteen rooms, three halls, and over a thousand direct descendents. In addition, there were over three thousand people from the side branch. The Zhong family owned nearly three hundred thousand acres of fertile land and nearly a hundred thousand tenants in six counties in Xihe County, including Shicheng, Yongan, Pingyao, Jieyu, and Mianshu.

The music of the river was even more remarkable, with more than four million people living in the modern era and ranked 51st among the hundreds. Although the music of the river was only one of the music of the river, it was well-known throughout history and was known as the famous father of Fan Ya during the Qin and Han Dynasties. If the overlord listened to Fan Ya's words, then perhaps the history of the Qin and Han dynasties would be rewritten. At the time of the Jin Dynasty, the Fan family had 15 hall names, covering both rivers and the Huaihe River basin, making it one of the world's top Wealthy Class. There were more than ten thousand members in the Fan clan, so it was not an exaggeration to say that there were more than thirty thousand members in the nine clans.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, being undisciplined was an unchangeable principle. However, no one expected it to be this. Not only did Xie Fei kill them, he killed over fifty thousand people in one go, almost destroying a portion of the hereditary valve in the entire State.

Xie Fei also asked some people to specially write out the Five Clans' scandal, writing out every single disgraceful thing that they had done to betray their ancestors and collude with the enemies to rebel against the nation. What bullying of men and women, forcing the good into prostitution, taking from the strong, and suffering a large debt of blood. Not only did Xie Fei kill all of the Five Great Clans, he even made them lose their reputation. Which noble family didn't have shit under their butt? It was just that no one else was willing to talk about it.

These crimes were all confessed before the death of someone with five surnames. It could be said that they were all proven guilty. Xie Fei also copied the form of a newspaper from the future, printing and distributing 50,000 copies of the criminal evidence of the five surnamed race to the various counties, posting it on the streets and alleyways of the various County. Of course, at that time, the illiteracy rate among the commoners was more than 95%, so even if they posted it, not many people would be able to recognize it. Xie Fei also ordered all the leaders of the County s to read this newspaper thoroughly, and that the paper should be spread to every single citizen.

In fact, this was similar to the red-headed documents of later generations.

In Chang An Yue Inn, a scholar with long sleeves flew everywhere as he criticized Xie Fei severely. However, just as he spoke a few sentences, he was scolded by the people on the side. On the topic of scolding people, these people were obviously no match for sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued scholars. However, if they couldn't get anything out of their mouths, the commoners would start to fight.

Originally, Qing Liu Scholars had been hoping to make use of Xie Fei's cruel and bloodthirsty act. After what had happened, all the scholars had given up. Think about it, Xie Fei had defeated the arrogant people from the grasslands, and pushed the Qin State's border northwards by more than two thousand li, all the way until he reached the region of Lake Belga. He was the hero of the Peerless Battlefield. However, the crimes committed by the five races were irredeemable, and the humans and gods were angered. It was exactly according to Xie Fei's words, if one did not kill them, it would not be proper, but if one did not kill them, it would not be enough to pacify the people.

In terms of scolding, a single scholar could scold ten commoners. In a fight, a single commoner could beat three people. Tens or even hundreds of angry civilians beat up that boastful scholar until he fled in terror.

Xie Fei's handling of the Five Clan's matters did not cause any waves at all, and the matter was quickly forgotten.

Chang'an was still the same, singing and dancing according to the song. It gradually became more prosperous.

It was June, and the summer was beginning. A thousand miles without a cloud, ten thousand miles in the blue sky. The Inner Palace's scorching heat was pressing, and Xie Fei's period of seclusion had already ended. At the same time, Xie Fei took out a strategy to deal with the Wealthy Class.

In the early part of the day, Xie Fei made a declaration that he would never be allowed to leave the imperial court. Handle some trivia. Then, Xie Fei directly opened his mouth and said: "The Wealthy Class has been the source of the disaster. Everyone, please do not have any opinion on the matter regarding the Wealthy Class!"

Xie Fei was not happy with the Wealthy Class family, this was a matter that the baldy decided to let go of. However, the heads of the six tribes and most of the ministers were from hereditary valve, and even the royal Schell's was from hereditary valve. hereditary valve had many privileges, the most common being exemption. So they have a lot of land in their name. At most, it was hundreds of thousands of fields, at least, it was tens of thousands of acres. Putting everything else aside, just the Schell's alone was enough to support sixty thousand Northern Residence soldiers. Sixty thousand soldiers and horses, in addition to requiring a large amount of money and food, was enough to support sixty thousand soldiers and horses. A single Schell's was enough to support sixty thousand soldiers and horses. At least, the Schell's had hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

As the Prime Minister, of course he wouldn't allow her to be kind. Wang Meng said, "Your Majesty, we do need to be cautious about this. Right now, the Wealthy Class families have a lot of power. However, there are no lack of powerful individuals in these Wealthy Classes. If you want to forcibly take them away, I'm afraid you will only meet with blade and soldier, and blood will flow like a river. "

"I second that!" The joke was tied to one's own interests. If he didn't agree with it, wouldn't he be able to?

Xie Fei had already foreseen the situation in front of him, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. As far as the Feudal Lords were concerned, it didn't matter who was in charge. As long as they could guarantee their own benefits. However, Xie Fei had some prejudices against scholars and family members, the contradictions between the two were already irreconcilable. Xie Fei was a powerful Emperor, it was impossible for him to lower his head to the Feudal Lords. During the time of Mao Taizu's reign, there was almost no resistance to implement all kinds of new laws. That was because the Central Plains had been in war for decades.

Now was the period of chaos and chaos, but because of Xie Fei's sudden appearance, there were fewer wars in the Central Plains. The Huns were holed up in the River Styx, so they did not have any chance to traverse the Yellow River south. Of course, the Feudal Lords were not affected by this, and most of their forces were still there.

Wang Meng naturally knew what Xie Fei meant. It was impossible for him to lower his head to the gatekeeper. However, the difficulty of dealing with the issue of the valve was obvious. So what if it was the Emperor of Han Wu? He would still lower his head to the valve, and Cao Cao was the same.

Xie Fei looked at the official court official, anger burning in his heart. However, Xie Fei knew that if he wanted to handle matters regarding the sect, he had to be direct.

Xie Fei changed the topic: "We plan to conduct an inventory of households in the entire country. As long as one was a commoner under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin, after making up their own household and writing their own books, as long as one participated in clearing the wasteland, one would be able to obtain cultivated land free of charge. As long as one cultivated 10 mu of wasteland, one could obtain 4 mu of land and the other 6 mu of land as their official land. Each household had ten acres of land per person. The government must pay for the cattle and seeds and use the tax to pay them back. "Within ten years."

"The Emperor is wise!" This was a good thing for the nation and its people. The court officials naturally could not object.

Xie Fei also knew that the Wealthy Class families only relied on the land in their hands, if they had land, they would use slaves and tenants to cultivate it. These servants and tenants will naturally follow the orders of the Wealthy Class families, only then will they have the ability to fight against you. These tenants and servants could be turned into soldiers to cause trouble, and they could also listen to the words of the Wealthy Class families, because these Wealthy Class families were the land that they relied on to survive.

Right now, Xie Fei did not need to worry, the Qin State only had a population of over ten million, and these people were not as big as the population of a prefectural city in the future. Don't you have land? I will let the refugees and the commoners open up more wasteland. In this era, not to mention feeding more than ten million people, even a hundred million is more than enough. Therefore, Xie Fei was not worried. I made you non-human. The tenants planted their own family lands, and the officials rented their own lands as well. The officials' taxes were lower than the royal family's, so they could reduce the dependence of the tenants on the royal family.

Wang Meng started to understand what Xie Fei meant. The reclamation of wasteland, the interests of the country and the people, even if the family was unwilling, what could they do?

Xie Fei continued, "At the same time, we also need to reform the system of bestowal of land, abolishing the previous" human head tax ", all citizens only need to pay 10% of the land tax, regardless of whether it is the leasing of land, whether it is official land or private eternal land. They all collect taxes according to the output per mu. All other services are abolished. The government needs to repair the city walls or build water conservancy, roads and other basic facilities. They need to pay the wages to benefit the people. "

What Xie Fei was talking about was actually the method of paying an assessment for future generations. Tian Fu Tong had taken Tian Mu as his object of taxation, and simplified the procedures for the collection of taxes and the collection of taxes. This also abolished the right of the family to be exempt from taxes. Didn't your family own land? You can pay as much tax as you have. The people could rent official land, and it was only ten percent tax, so they didn't have to worry about anything else.

"This was the national law that was passed through the whole country during the time of Qian Long." "Stall into the acre" is a policy used by Qing rulers to ease land annexation. This was different from what Xie Fei did, because no one would know of it. Even if one was alone, one could own millions of acres of land, so of course one had to pay the tax of millions of mu of land.

This way, even if the royal family was unwilling, they could still rebel. However, whoever supports you, regardless of whether they are servants or tenants, they are not idiots. This was also a contract system for future generations. The citizens' requirements were not high, as long as they had land, seeds, and food, there was no need to rebel at all.

Of course, this matter wouldn't go smoothly. When the court officials finally reacted, they began to oppose him.

Xie Fei began to implement his Emperor's privilege, and handed over the results of his one month stay in writing to the various court officials. It doesn't matter if you agree or not. Since the emperor is me, I'll just let it pass.

Although sharing the land and collecting taxes according to the acre would harm the interests of the hereditary valve, this allowed the people to obtain the greatest benefits. No matter how great the authority of a Venerable family was, Xie Fei would never reason with them.

According to the records of "Qin Shi": two years in Taiping, Qin Wu emperor ordered, the national implementation of household registration law, acre of land tax liability law. All of a sudden, the County began a fierce campaign to clear the wasteland. In just two years at Taiping, more than 30 million mu of wasteland have been reclaimed throughout the country. At the same time, the interests of the class of landlords were beginning to be seriously critical. The land on which the family lives causes severe wastage. Take the case of Hanzhou, where 30% of the cultivated land under the name of the family is left uncultivated. This proportion was as high as 70% in the three years to Taiping. In the ten years to Taiping, almost ninety percent of the Qin State's land was in the hands of the commoners.

At the same time, Emperor of Qin Wu ordered the Qin State to never raise taxes, the peasants' land was distributed according to the number of people, and once they reached the age of fifteen, they could apply to the officials for land according to the proportion of the local land.

Although Xie Fei had forcefully carried out the reform of the land, the disadvantages were also obvious and different.

In July, one-third of the County s were empty. In August, this ratio was almost half!

Wang Meng reported to Xie Fei, "Your majesty, right now, the disciples of the hereditary valve have all withdrawn from their duties. Nearly half of the County s are empty. This was not the way to go about it. Although there are three students replacing them, most of them are still unable to stand up for themselves. "

Xie Fei laughed: "How difficult is that. Currently, there are no more than five thousand households in the Upper and Lower Prefectures; there are only over a thousand households. There were not even as many people as there were in a small township of later generations.) They don't want to be officials, is there nothing I can do about such a silent confrontation? As for the empty County s, they would be divided into tens of thousands of counties with one county magistrate and one hundred thousand counties with one taiwai, as well as a few aides and aides. "I don't believe that, even if Zhang Tu Hu died, he would still be able to eat mixed pig meat."

"The more I don't force you, the more I will never lower my head. The county magistrate and the taiwai did not require a great talent. They only needed a little bit of talent to accomplish the task. I

The governance guidelines are all set. They just need to implement them. What if they don't even know how to do things? "

Xie Fei said to Wang Meng: "I'm afraid that if they fail, they will cause trouble again. The more they do this, the more it will make us feel disgusted, so we can send orders down to the imperial guards to keep an eye on these people, and as long as they behave, if they make any more movements and order the imperial guards to move immediately, we will see if they are arrogant, or if their necks are harder than our blades. "

Wang Meng sighed to himself, "Ai, the gate is closed!" "Don't worry about it!"
