Chapter 104: He Must Live Until That Time
As a giant standing on the shoulders of history, Chen Ying can see it more clearly than Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who are the most allied in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline, and the biggest root is not from Li Longji, but from the early Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, who both formulated the framework structure of the Tang Dynasty and the law of martial arts.
Just like the rent modulation, Tang Gaozu Wude in February (619) stipulated that each dina "rent two stones, two zhang of silk, and three taels of cotton". Ding male over 20 years old, granted 100 acres of land, of which 20 acres are Yongye fields and 80 acres are oral fields. Return to the field after death. The government collects rents from the people based on the records of land grants. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they will pay a fixed amount of rent.
With the help of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng formulated this lease modulation, which greatly alleviated the embarrassing situation of the Tang Dynasty since the defeat of the shallow water plateau in the first year of Wude and the depletion of finances, and laid the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Jiancheng did not take into account that any political system has a certain timeliness. Once the population increases explosively and exceeds the capacity of the land, it will cause a sea change. Once the uniform land was destroyed, the law of rent adjustment failed, and after the Wu Zhou Dynasty, due to the increase in population and continuous land annexation, the imperial court had no land to implement the uniform land system, and the land obtained by the male was insufficient, and he had to pay a fixed amount of rent and Yong, so that the peasants could not afford it, and most of them fled.
Of course, whether it is the defeat of Talas, the defeat of Dafeichuan, including the Anshi Rebellion that followed, the biggest root cause is actually the collapse of the rent-yong modulation system.
The collapse of a founding system is also the fall of a dynasty. Cao Cao Xing also tuntian, Cao Wei defeated also tuntian. Daming Xing is also a military household, and defeat is also a military household system. The Manchu Qing Dynasty also had iron crops and iron crops when they were defeated, and raised three million people into stupid pigs. As for Chang Shenkai, he is also Huangpu in success, and Huangpu in defeat.
No one can escape this cycle, no one can break this cycle.
Chen Ying can clearly see the drawbacks of renting Yong, Chen Ying believes that whether it is Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, or even Wang Qi, Wei Ting, Yang Gongren, and even Yu Wenshi and them, they must also be able to see this problem. The point is, they are all smart people, and they all want to protect themselves.
Chen Ying naturally didn't want to be the first bird, he understood the truth that the first to rot first, Chen Ying didn't want to be a businessman, any political reform is bloody, and it will inevitably touch the cheese of the vested interest class, so whoever is the pioneer of reform will definitely not have a good end, and will definitely leave a disaster for future generations.
Chen Ying didn't want to be a merchant martingale, and it was not good to see Datang continue on the original road, going farther and farther, so when he was the protector of the Western Regions, he consciously implemented the system of apportioning the land into the mu.
Internal governance, unlike the battlefield, where the enemy is there, with soldiers all the way through, and finally wins. Even if the troops are at a disadvantage, Chen Ying is not worried, after all, he can use his golden finger, with the help of science, and the power of equipment, to make up for the disadvantage in numbers.
Therefore, when he was in Anxi, Chen Ying adopted the strategy of one hand with a stick and one hand for sweet dates, the indigenous people of the Western Regions were all simple, and the most was just a little more fierce by nature, but in Anxi, with the prestige of defeating the 200,000 army of Yehu Khan and defeating the 100,000 army of Murong Fuyun, Chen Ying implemented assimilation very smoothly.
Of course, the same is true in Tibet. The ordinary slaves and common people of Tibet here are also very simple, but for their tribal leaders, because of their different education, they are not uncivilized barbarians, and they are very intelligent people, if they are stained with hair, they are all monkeys.
With Chen Ying's order, the two or three million slaves in Tubo were smashed and shackled, and each person was given a piece of land, and Datang Tongli Qianzhuang lent them a loan to let them develop cultivation. Of course, every new farmer needs to pay a tax on one-tenth of his income.
Chen Ying has supreme prestige in Tubo, and in the implementation of this movement to liberate serfs, it is not without resistance, but these tribal leaders who oppose the Songtsen Gampo League, or the leaders of the various tribes in Tubo, they do not dare to resist by force, and the smoke of Songbang Fort City has just dissipated, and everyone does not dare to try Chen Ying to sacrifice the thunder again.
After all, the miracles they passed on by word of mouth were not really verified, and the miracles that Chen Ying showed, they all saw with their own eyes.
In the face of such a divine envoy walking in the world, they did not dare to resist by force.
After more than half a month of consultations among the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance, five representatives led by Andonaji came to Chen Ying with a calm and righteous mentality, hoping that Chen Ying would give them an explanation.
Chen Ying looked at Andronaji and said with a look of hatred: "A bunch of fools whose brains were kicked by donkeys!" ”
Although Andronaji didn't say it well, he could still understand the general meaning, of course, Chen Ying scolded him, and he definitely didn't dare to fight back.
Andonagi nodded again and again, "Yes...... Be...... Be. General Chen taught a lesson! ”
Chen Ying said without pretense: "Say you're stupid, don't believe it, the general asked you, how much grain can you earn a year now?" ”
Andronaji thought for a moment and said, "Thirteen thousand bags! ”
In fact, even if the wind and rain are good, he only earns about eight or nine thousand bags of barley, and as the head of the tribe, he needs to feed the samurai, and he also needs to buy armor and weapons, and he lives a tight life every year.
Chen Ying pointed to Andoniji and said: "The Amdo Town under your jurisdiction now has seventeen forts, with a total of more than 23,000 people, including 18,000 people, and each Ding is taxed at ten stones, which is 180,000 stone barley. ”
Adornaji was stunned when he heard this, as if it was really like that.
He clearly remembered that his annual income was less than 10,000 stone of grain, and now he would collect twenty times more, and he was immediately relieved.
Chen Ying would definitely not tell Andonaji that the original Amdo tribe had less than 6,000 people, and the young and strong people in the tribe combined were more than 2,000 people, and now, Chen Ying had more than 10,000 Tubo troops and their families, and the total population of Amdo had increased to three times.
Andronaji and the other four delegates heard Chen Ying's explanation, and they happily went back.
Although the slaves of their tribe have been turned into yeoman farmers in the Tang Dynasty, they only need a high income that is not low.
After Andonagi left, Ma Zhou looked at Andonaji's back and said: "Lord, you shouldn't deceive Andonaji, the Tubo people all admit to death, once Andonagi comes to his senses, he will definitely dislike the Lord."
"There's a premise to this, he has to live until that time.
