Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2409 Alternative debate (plus more)

  When Sun Quan and Cao Cao were engaged in various open and secret intrigues and fell in love with each other, in Chang'an Sanfu, another group of tenants who had completed their tenure in the village became farmers.

  These farmers paid their original tenant household registration in the garrison offices in various places in Sanfu, Chang'an, and exchanged for a new farmer household registration. The joy almost overflowed from their bodies, and it has become the beautiful scenery of Sansuke in recent days.

  Refugees have no farmland, or they have lost their original farmland. Therefore, the best result for these refugees is to become tenants of a certain landlord class, and then live and die, generation after generation of tenants, Zhuang Ding.

  In Guanzhong, the biggest landlord class leader is Fei Qian.

  As long as human beings are still attached to the land, and the land is still an important means of production, the landlord class will never disappear, at most it will just change its name.

  It’s like the big man at the moment, the farming policy is not the best, but it must be the most suitable.

   This is an inevitable product of the times, and no politics can be too far away from the times.

  Fei Qian is certainly no exception.

  During the chaos in Heluoguan, a large number of gentry families either perished or fled, which made Feiqian cheaper, so that Feiqian had his own source of Zhuanghe grain and grass at the very beginning.

Except for a small number of prisoners of war and slaves, the tenants who worked as tenants for Feiqian's farmland were basically tenants recruited from among the refugees. The field acres corresponding to the acquisition period.

  This garrison policy smoothly organized the refugees and became the most basic core force under the three-color banner of Fiqian. Then Cao Cao and Sun Quan copied the homework, and the two also changed slightly according to their own needs.

  The biggest change is that both Cao Cao and Sun Quan think that Fei Qian is stupid, and even take the initiative to release the land, so that these laborers who could have been exploited for generations become free people...

   But neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan understood that what is terrible is not class oppression, but class solidification.

  As long as the lowest class is given a little hope, even if this hope is only a little bit, it is enough to support these people for a long time to plow the land like cattle and horses.

  Fei Qian released the population and land, even if the Guanzhong gentry were unhappy or unwilling, they had to release the tenants and land, otherwise no one would be willing to go to their manor...

  In the Han Dynasty, what is scarce is the population, not the land.

  Taking Chang'an as an example, in the second year of the first year of the Western Han Dynasty, according to the "Hanshu Geographical Records", Jingzhaoyin governed twelve counties, with more than 195,000 households and a total of more than 680,000 people.

   Among them, there are 80,000 households in Chang'an City, with a population of about 280,000. If the various royal families, soldiers and other personnel in Chang'an at that time are also included, the population of Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty was about 500,000 in its heyday.

  Eastern Han Dynasty was much less, as for now...

   In future generations, the city of Chang'an will have a population of tens of millions!

Of course, the modern transportation and logistics of the later generations are unmatched by the current big man, but there is still no problem with Yifeiqian's current planning and layout of Chang'an to support a population of one or two million, and there are also counties around Jingzhaoyin, It can also divert the population.

Therefore, it can be said that if the gentry in Guanzhong do not follow Feiqian, then these refugees and labor force population will be gathered under Feiqian's banner, and their manors and fields will be reduced or even abandoned because they cannot recruit people. …

   Don't forget that Fei Qian also has "The Law of the Wild Field", if it is identified as a wasteland, it will be taken back by the system... Bah, it will be forcibly recalled by Fei Qian!

  Although there is definitely room for manipulation here, such a law is already terrible if it is placed there.

  Those arrogant guys thought that Fei Qian was just saying what he said, and he would never carry it out, and his bones were completely chilled.

  One side is a radish and the other is a big stick, which naturally makes the gentry of Sansuke in Guanzhong want to follow along.

Today, the composition of the refugees in Chang'an Sanfu, or the tenants, is very complicated. There are people from different regions, with different accents and customs. If they are randomly assigned, or as in most cases, they are left If each region organizes and gathers on its own, then it is very likely that there will be many more countries within countries and counties within counties in Guanzhong Sanfu...

Reasonable planning makes it impossible for any region to have a township party due to the majority of townspeople in a certain place. Coupled with mutual trade and commodity flows, these barriers that might have arisen have been eliminated. break down, and finally become a general whole.

  When these tenants were transformed into farmers, after living in Guanzhong Sanfu for two or three generations, they gradually became Guanzhong people from outsiders.

Now Guanzhong Sanfu has developed industry and commerce, prosperous trade, planting, breeding, handicrafts, etc., no matter what kind of business, it is profitable. In addition, after the opening of business with the Western Regions, a large amount of gold and silver from the Western Regions stimulated Guanzhong Sanfu The powerful economy has made the operators of these industries, no matter how big or small, enjoy a lot of bonuses. Therefore, these sons and daughters of the gentry, under Feiqian's repeated serious treatment and rectification of officials, are submissive. post.

   Take the Sima family for example. Why is the reputation so good? It can even be said that not only do they not have food and cards, but they even use money from the family to subsidize some poor children and students from poor families? Is it because the Sima family has such a broad mind, they would rather go hungry to support Fei Qian's great cause?

   Not really.

  Under the Sima family, in Pingyang, in Anyi, in Chang'an, in Linjin, there are storefronts and Zhuangzi, and in the Qilian Mountains in the Western Regions, there is a limited-year right to open gold mines...

   Pang, Huang, and other gentry, Webster, Du, etc., are the same.

   Or else?

I really thought that the upper lip touches the lower lip, spray some saliva to draw a big cake, and at the end of the year, they will find all kinds of reasons to kick the old employees who have been working for a year before recruiting new ones. There will be companies that do the same gesture again How promising?

  During the great chaos in Xiliang, many Heluo families in Guanzhong relocated. Later, when Feiqian was rehabilitated and stabilized, a large number of children of the gentry came back with various land deeds and house deeds...

   What Fei Qian did was to deny all of them!

   And also scolded these fleeing gentry children, scolding these guys for not having the virtue of defending the soil.

   Then the gentry who stayed in Sanfu in Guanzhong and did not leave just scolded with Fei Qian. In the end, these children of the gentry who moved out with house deeds and title deeds could only quit the group chat cursing.

  The reason why the gentry in Guanzhong would scold Fei Qian together is because these people really think how important the "virtue of guarding the soil" is? No, it’s just that Fei Qian took the big head of these "lands without owners", and the gentry who stayed in Guanzhong took the small head. If the land needs to be returned according to these land deeds, Fei Qian will certainly suffer a heavy loss. The Guanzhong gentry were similarly damaged.

  And where did those nobles who cursed and quit the group chat go?

  Most of them are on Lao Cao’s side.

  After all, these guys originally wanted to rely on the emperor to deal with Fei Qian, but they didn't expect that even Lao Cao was beaten twice, let alone relying on the emperor to find trouble for Fei Qian.

  It’s like a certain person, Mi Heng, who originally wanted to make trouble, but now...

When Mi Heng was in Yecheng, he felt that he was the savior of the world, the one who helped the country, and the person who carried the power of justice with him. He was full of fanaticism and insisted on going his own way. After that, it can be regarded as more or less able to see some reality clearly.

   What reality is, in simple terms, is interest.

  The lesson in Yecheng made Ni Heng aware of the benefits under the hood. He thought he had seen ugliness and evil, and he still had some sense of superiority of "Qingliu", criticizing everything and despising everything.

  But after arriving in Chang'an, Mi Heng faintly felt that something was wrong...

  Actually, after Ni Heng came to Guanzhong, his understanding of the system under Fei Qian’s rule became more and more deepened. In many places, he reversed his imagination of the hussars in Yedi.

Mi Heng originally thought that the people in Shandong should be heirs of scriptures, and they should also uphold the sage's concept of "education without discrimination, government with virtue". The reality of the reality gave You Heng a few slaps, completely knocking down the persistence in his heart, and crushed it in the mud.

   Then Mi Heng was completely spoiled...

Mi Heng originally thought that even if he came to Chang'an, he would either be like Yecheng, or not even as good as Yecheng. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Yecheng, he realized that compared with Shandong, the atmosphere in Shanxi is simply the same. Open to the max...

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

  This sentence, although Mi Heng does not understand, but can vaguely see it, can feel it.

  People in the Sanfu area of ​​Guanzhong are obviously more energetic, more open-minded, more active, and more confident. This kind of self-confidence is not only reflected in the gentry in Guanzhong, but also in these ordinary farmers and even tenants in Guanzhong.

  The active thinking is naturally reflected in Qinglong Temple.

   Of course, not all of them are like this.

  For example, in Qinglong Temple, those who say that there must be benevolence these days, are actually not too different from the gang of Shandong gentry. Mi Heng even saw these benevolent guys lying on the railing of the restaurant more than once, staring fixedly at Hu Xuanwu, with tears of emotion flowing from the corners of their mouths...

  Hu Xuan, a Hu who is called a Hu, who is called a skirt.

  Especially those Semu people from the Western Regions, wearing heelless dancing shoes, stretching their bodies, touching the ground with their toes, spinning at high speed, their skirts fluttering high, revealing...

  The area around the stage where the performance was performed was simply overcrowded.

Not only that, but Ni Heng once thought that there were a group of people in Guanzhong wearing beard robes with a strong smell, just like the barbarians, killing people when they moved, being arrogant and unreasonable, just like Xiliang back then, but it was only after arriving in Chang'an that they found out that they were dressed in bearded robes. There are also Hu people in robes, but there are also many who look like Hu people, but wear Han clothes, and even feel very proud of passing on Han clothes...

   This made Mi Heng deeply moved.

   Today's Guanzhong is not what it used to be.

  At least it wasn’t Guanzhong during Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang period…

  Some are enthusiastic, have faith, some are fanatical, some are profit-seeking, some have to be convinced, and some regard work as a living...

   This is Guanzhong at this moment.

   This is Qinglong Temple at this moment.

  Ni Heng turned around the corridor and saw a lot of people surrounded in front of a hall, so he couldn't help but took a few steps forward, and looked inside among the onlookers...

  This is the debate hall in Qinglong Temple. The name of the hall is simple and rude, "The Hall of Zhenglun", and then it is divided into Zichou Yinmao and so on. In the spacious and bright room in the hall, the sunshine of Yangchun shines through the window lintel and falls on the woven wool carpet from the Western Regions that is spread on the floor.

   In the middle of the woven wool carpet, there are two people sitting across the table.

  The lower part of the hall was also full of people, and there were so many people that there was no room for them to sit in the hall, so just like Mi Heng, he stood outside the hall.

   Mi Heng stood on tiptoe and looked in. There was one person Mi Heng knew, and it was Wang Chang. The other person is also quite young, but Mi Heng doesn't recognize him. Mi Heng raised his head and looked at the wooden sign hanging on the side of the main discussion hall, on which was written "Fan Yang Lushi".

  『Fan Yang Lu? 』Mi Heng was a little surprised, and then suddenly became a little dazed.

   It seems that they are all attracted by this "Fan Yang Lu family". After all, this surname was also resounding everywhere in the Han Dynasty...

  Starting a debate?

  Ni Heng stretched his head.

   Oh, it's ok, just at the beginning...

I only heard that in the hall, the young man from the Lu family of Fan Yang cupped his hands and said to Wang Chang: "I have heard about it from Youzhou. Brother Wang is full of knowledge, and he is always a leader in the competition of the Shoushan Academy... Now I am confused. I also ask Brother Wang not to hesitate to enlighten me...』

  『My dear brother, please speak frankly. ’ Wang Chang said.

  Wang Chang was also a small debate expert before, but after he became an official, he gradually participated in debates less and less.

   This time it was also because Fan Yang, Lu Shi and Lu Yu invited...

  Lu Yu is the youngest son of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi can be said to be a well-known Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As his youngest son, Lu Yu traveled around Yuzhou and Jizhou. Later, he felt that the officialdom under Cao Cao was turbulent, so he returned to his home in Youzhou to avoid disaster. Zhouzhou ignited the flames of war again, but was forced to leave again and moved to Guanzhong.

   This time I found Wang Chang, although on the surface it was for a debate, but in fact, it was for the sake of fame. And Wang Chang, as the Taiyuan Wang family, had a good relationship with Fan Yang's Lu family before, so he was willing to have such a debate with Lu Yu.

   Winning or losing is not important, the important thing is to stand on the stage first.

   Lu Yu looked around slightly, and found that there were indeed quite a few people gathered, and he felt a little nervous in his heart.

  Wang Chang smiled and nodded at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "There are merchants today who sell goods. The desire to buy is low and the desire to sell is high. The rich have ten thousand gold in their homes. There are endless fields and thousands of servants. They are like kings without titles and marquises without titles." In the granary, the rice and millet are stale, and in the courtyard, the clothes are spread out. If these people do not produce crops or harvest, what is the benefit of the country? 』

  Wang Chang nodded, and stretched out his hand to signal Lu Yu to continue.

This question of businessmen was not only brought up by Lu Yu today, it was already a very attractive topic in Qinglong Temple very early on. When they were in the same position, the "shi" opened fire on the "shang". After all, spraying "shang" is politically correct.

Lu Yu went on to say: "The industry in Guanzhong is quite rich today. Porcelain, tea, cloth, brocade, weapons, battle armor, cattle and sheep, and war horses are exchanged for Shandong's lacquer, horn, glue, hemp, indigo, madder, pine oil, and shells." , if we talk about the things, they are all the hard work of the people, but why are things different? Are the rich in the three auxiliary areas of Guanzhong more than the rich, and the poor in Jingchu and Yuyan are more poor than the poor? 』

  Wang Chang touched the beard on his chin and nodded. This question is more interesting than the previous one.

  Different from Guanzhong Sanfu, the farmers in the east of Xiaoshan Mountain have indeed had a hard life in the past few years, suffering unspeakably.

   On the one hand, these farmers have to bear the invasion of war, on the other hand, they also need to bear taxes and corvee. Of course, there is a hidden one. These farmers in Shandong were forced to share the damage caused by the industrial scissors caused by the Sanfu in Guanzhong.

In order to maintain the original luxurious life, the Shandong gentry have passed on the difference in trade to ordinary farmers, allowing these farmers to bear more expenses, get less remuneration, bear higher land rent, and more arduous labor. Food prices fall and fall again, taxes rise and rise...

   Those with industrial support are still better.

After all, the industrial and commercial development of Guanzhong Sanfu will also make these small Shandong manors and small landlords jealous. They will more or less follow the model of Feiqian to operate and set up large-scale operations, such as unified production and centralized planting, so as to facilitate more Collect more hemp grass, indigo, pine oil, shells and other items needed in Guanzhong.

In addition, the merchants in Shandong are basically under the control of the gentry. In order to obtain higher benefits, these merchants will increase the price of some items and reduce the price of agricultural products based on their own needs and the requirements of the gentry. The purchase price, further bloodletting the farmers under its jurisdiction.

  From this perspective, Lu Yu’s aversion to businessmen and his thoughts on the suffering of farmers in Shandong can be regarded as inheriting some spiritual inheritance from his father.

  Wang Chang thought for a while, and didn't answer Lu Yu's question immediately, but asked: "If you take the opinion of a good brother, what should you think?" 』

  『Agriculture is the foundation of a country, so agriculture should be emphasized. First of all, when farming and eating together, the virtuous can work with the people when they are busy, and when the farming is slack, the virtuous can weave mats together and teach the Tao...』

  『Secondly, when things are divided equally. What is left of the people should be collected in one place, and the virtuous will preside over the distribution. There should be no hoarding, and no double price. Only in this way can we be fair and just to the people...』

  『Third, it should be distributed to benefit the people. What the superiors like, the subordinates must follow. The subordinates of the hussars have more property and benefit the people, so the subordinates imitate it more. If things go on like this, it will be a disaster...』

  Wang Chang couldn't help laughing as he listened.

   I didn't expect this Lu Yu to be really...

   Ridiculous.

   The new year is another unceremonious "bia" slap on the face...

   Let those unsatisfactory things go with the old year,

   Welcome the new year together!

face to the future!

Happy new year!

   Happy New Year to all book lovers!
