Chapter 401 The Land Acre System of the Kingdom of Heaven (2)

Chapter 400: Land Acre System in Heaven (2)

China has always been a large agricultural country, with the vast majority of the agricultural population, and the land issue of farmers has become the most important issue in society.

 How to solve the land issue is related to the rise and fall of political power in the past dynasties, as well as the prosperity and decline of social economy.

 In the Tang Dynasty, due to the equalization of land, there were Zhenguan and Kaiyuan governance;

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful landlords were suppressed, which made the country rich and the people prosperous.

On the contrary, if land is concentrated among wealthy officials and gentry and farmers are displaced, productivity will be destroyed, which will inevitably lead to large-scale peasant uprisings.

Zhong Xiang and others in the Song Dynasty proposed "equalizing the rich and the poor, equalizing the rich and the poor";

 Li Zicheng in the Ming Dynasty called for peasant uprisings by "equalizing land and eliminating grain";

Until the early Xianfeng period of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Hong Xiuquan promulgated the "Celestial Land Acre System", taking advantage of farmers' desire for land and pushing the land war to its peak.

 From this we can also see the people’s desire for land.

 Zhang Liang's "Tianguo Tianmu System" and Hong Xiuquan's "Tianchao Tianmu System" are essentially similar.

After all, it was Hong Xiuquan himself who proposed this idea to Zhang Jiao, or to be more precise, it should be Hong Xiuquan’s subordinate, Feng Yunshan, the former southern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

East King Yang Xiuqing and Wing King Shi Dakai, who were born together with Hong Xiuquan, are now famous all over the world for their military achievements. Only Feng Yunshan has remained unknown, but this does not mean that Feng Yunshan has no ability.

 In fact, what few people know about the Taiping Rebellion is that Feng Yunshan was the founder of the God-worshiping religion, and Hong Xiuquan was just a puppet on the surface.

Due to Feng Yunshan's accidental imprisonment, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing seized the religious power in the name of "Heavenly Father Comes Down to Earth" and became the top leaders.

Throughout the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, those who conquered the world were Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others.

As the King of Heaven, Hong Xiuquan only played the role of spiritual leader from beginning to end.

Hence, Hong Xiuquan could not have come up with "The Land System in Heaven". The real creator should be Feng Yunshan, the original founder.

Of course, such a large program cannot be completed by Feng Yunshan alone. He just put forward an idea.

Feng Yunshan, the Southern King in original history, had always been feared by Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, and he died in an "accidental" battle very early, before he had time to truly display his talents.

 Feng Yunshan's fate in this life was equally bumpy. As a political talent, Feng Yunshan only had a mediocre position among the Yellow Turbans. However, the most powerful idea of ​​promoting capital, the "Celestial Land Acquisition System", was still picked by Hong Xiuquan.

It was not until Zhang Liang was born that Fang Yunshan finally turned around. After being discovered by Zhang Liang, he worked with Zhang Liang to formulate the "Heavenly Land Acre System", thus gaining Zhang Jiao's attention.

 The new "Celestial Land Acre System" also takes the essence from the "Celestial Land Acre System" and discards the dross, so it is undoubtedly much more practical.

Both are based on the principle of "everyone in the world cultivates the fields together", taking the household as a unit, regardless of men and women, and evenly allocating land according to population and age.

 And based on this, the temptation to the people is fatal.

Furthermore, the perverted system of "implementing the holy treasury system" which was only to "leave enough food for each household and return the rest to the holy treasury" was eliminated.

Of course, the biggest difference between the two is that "Heavenly Dynasty" is anti-social, while "Heavenly Kingdom" is just anti-aristocratic.

 In history, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded Nanjing, the nature of the top leadership changed, and this was the same for most peasant rebels.

 The top brass of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom enjoyed happiness, fought for power, and rebelled. The internal darkness could be said to be at its peak, but they still persisted for more than ten years.

The Yellow Turban Uprising, which was also a peasant uprising, was more powerful than the Taiping Rebellion, but it was wiped out in less than a year.

 This is the difference between whether there is programmatic ideological guidance. From the time when the Yellow Turbans raised their troops to the present, Zhang Jiao has proposed doctrines, Huang Chao has proposed strategic directions, and Xiang Yan has provided military guidance, but there is no ideological program.

 Zhang Liang's "The Land and Acre System of the Kingdom of Heaven" just fills this gap.

Yellow Turban Army’s goal is to save the poor people in the world and let them live a good life.

But now the Yellow Turbans have spread across several states, and the corrupt officials and the families that oppressed the people have disappeared, but the people are no better off than before.

 In the final analysis, it is because the people have no land to cultivate, and the land is in the hands of aristocratic families.

Although the Yellow Turbans destroyed many aristocratic families in Kanto, it does not mean that there are no aristocratic families in the territory. What is left is still a huge force.

The reason why these aristocratic families dare not move lightly is not only because they are frightened by the iron-blooded methods, but also because the Yellow Turbans have not completely touched the bottom line.

 But once they attack the Yellow Turbans and the land, they will definitely not remain silent even if they die.

Due to the destruction of many aristocratic families, the Yellow Turbans also had a large amount of idle land in their hands, but the reason why it was never distributed to the people was because Zhang Jiao was waiting for another opportunity.

 An opportunity to weaken the aristocratic family to the extreme so that the land policy can be implemented smoothly, and now this opportunity has come.

Nowadays, most of the aristocratic families led by the Yellow Turbans have been reduced to only a trace of blood.

 Aristocratic families with no arms and only assets are no longer able to stop the implementation of the "Heavenly Land Acquisition System", and the resistance to reclaiming land from aristocratic families is much smaller.

Once the "Heavenly Land Acre System" can be promoted, even Sizhou, which is the most resistant to the Yellow Turbans, will definitely change its resistance to support. After all, the temptation of land is not something that farmers can resist.

The Yellow Turbans encountered too much resistance in Sizhou, and if Sizhou was unstable, there would be no way to enter Guanzhong, so this was a good time to launch the "Heavenly Land Acre System".

With the support of the people all over the world, the Yellow Turbans can remain invincible.

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang both thought so, but will it actually go so smoothly?

　　——

On the other hand, Xiang Yu woke up earlier than Zhang Jiao, and when he thought of what he had done before, he felt regretful.

At that time, Xiang Yu, who had been suppressed for a long time, was in a state of madness. He was blinded by hatred and gave such an order. Xiang Yu felt bitter when he thought about it now.

Based on Xiang Yu's understanding of Zhang Jiao, he didn't need to think about it to know that Zhang Jiao must be extremely disappointed in him.

The position of the successor, which was a natural fit, may also change unexpectedly.

“Shi Lan, you must have been frightened when you saw my scary side.” Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and said to Shi Lan, who was guarding the bed.

Shi Lan lowered her head and said stiffly: "That wasn't you. You didn't know what you were doing at the time."

Xiang Yu didn’t notice Shi Lan’s weird reaction, and thought she was really scared by him, so he said softly:

“Even if I turn into a demon, I will never hurt you.”

Shi Lan's body trembled, and her eyes when she looked at Xiang Yu were both moved and complicated.
