Soon after Shen Zhezi moved into Stone Town, the plum rain came as scheduled, the continuous rain fell, the sky was gloomy and low, the heat decreased slightly, and the sky and the earth were filled with thick moisture. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Such weather, and in the current situation of calamity, will probably arouse infinite sorrow in people's hearts. The ministers gathered in Stone Town were also infected by the weather, and there was no threat of military disasters, so they gradually let the boat go to the riverside and chanted and sang, occasionally seeing a few corpses by the river that had been pecked clean by swimming fish, and often had to pluck a handful of sympathetic tears and sigh and weep.

However, in this rainy day, Shen Zhezi's mood improved a little. It's not that he lacks empathy, but that the arrival of the rainy season has something to do with farming. Now that the rain is neither early nor late, if the fighting can be finished before July, the sowing of late rice can be delayed. With this rice harvest, this year's situation will not be too difficult.

Director Wang had taken over the administration of Jiankang, and Shen Zhezi was also advising the ministers who stayed in Stone City to return to Taicheng to perform their duties. No matter how turbulent the political situation in Japan is, after all, the small people must be allowed to eat, so that the situation can be stabilized. In the past six months, although the villagers in Jiankang Zuo have been devastated by the war, since they are lucky to survive, they must endure their grief and plan for the future.

The generals of the Protectorate Mansion came to pester Shen Zhezi every day, hoping to borrow some grain and grass to go to the requisition and pacify the rebel Zhang Jian, but the grain and grass were not obtained, but instead they asked for a warrant, and all the members of the Su Guard who were not in the military were repatriated and resettled back to their hometowns. In order to settle these villagers Ding Zhuang, who were coerced by the chaotic army to join the guards, Shen Zhezi deliberately went back and forth to Taicheng several times before reaching a consensus with Wang Dao and other Taiwanese ministers, temporarily taking expedient measures, turning military achievements into the field, and placing these people as soon as possible and putting them into production as soon as possible.

Such an arrangement is not in line with the customary law, and in the past, the imperial court often directly incorporated these coerced people into the military and set up camps for the aftermath of this situation. In this way, the officials who handled it had political achievements, and the imperial court increased the acres and population under its direct control, and it was easier to do. The only people who were violated were the people, and the good people became military households from then on.

However, the current situation is somewhat peculiar, on the one hand, there is no land suitable for a large amount of land in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and on the other hand, there is an urgent need for production to supply Gyeonggi. However, to implement military merit to each individual, and then divide them one by one, there is no precedent since China and the DPRK, especially to let Wang Dao accept such a plan, it is simply an impossible task, and it will provoke a lot of material discussion.

Shen Zhezi's method of persuading Director Wang is also simple, but he still scares him.

It is an indisputable fact that Jiankang's surroundings are now in dilapidation, if they can't quickly stabilize and win people's hearts, then when the Queen Mother and the Taiwan personnel return in the future, it will be difficult to bear such a huge influx of people with Jiankang's current situation. At that time, it is very likely that someone will take advantage of this to demand that the capital be moved, or even simply detain the empress dowager and others in Beijing, and then discuss the relocation of the capital.

On the question of whether to move the capital or not, Shen Zhezi and Director Wang's position is the same, that is, the center will never be allowed to leave Jiankang! Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to be so eager to recover Jiankang, as long as he rescued the emperor.

But Director Wang is still not sure what Shen Zhezi thinks, and the question raised by Shen Zhezi does exist. He has to come up with enough reasons to refute the intention of moving the capital to those who have a heart, and the best way is undoubtedly to stabilize Gyeonggi in the shortest possible time! With such a premise, the seemingly impossible solution has become an extremely effective option.

There is no quickest way to make the people feel comfortable and willing to plough their land than to give them their land directly. As long as this idea is established, there will always be a way to get out of the land. If nothing else, the king of Xiyang and other kings who undoubtedly defected to the rebels held large tracts of farmland around Gyeonggi.

Originally, these lands were supposed to be used to reward meritorious heroes, but now with Shen Zhezi's encouragement, Wang Dao directly appropriated them. As for the reward in the coming day, it is a matter that needs to be considered after it is determined that the capital will not be moved.

Because the counterinsurgency was nearing its end, in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, after making a decision, Wang Dao immediately put the matter into practice. There were too few officials in the capital, so Shen Zhezi directly transferred the people of Shicheng to help measure the land and liquidate the acres.

Shen Zhezi's enthusiastic attitude made Director Wang a little suspicious, could it be that he misunderstood, this colt really has no distractions and is dedicated to the country? But in any case, when the news was announced, all the guards in the capital were jubilant, not only were they exempted from the tragic fate of becoming military households, but they were able to obtain acres of land by virtue of their military exploits, which was really exciting! In this way, you can't stop even if you want to!

However, this decree caused an uproar among the Taiwanese ministers, and in the past, the imperial court did not grant land, and the foundation of several land breaks was land. However, not to mention that the land judgment policy itself is mixed, and the vast majority of the land granted by land is wasteland that has been abandoned for a long time or has not been reclaimed at all. In this way, a large-scale grant of fertile land around Gyeonggi, and in the name of military merits, has provoked the bottom line of everyone's family.

Therefore, when this decree was promulgated, Wang Dao was full of guests every day, and they advised him not to be the beginning of the chaotic government. For some close people, Director Wang also patiently explained why he did this, advised these people to plan for the overall situation, not to care about small profits for a while, and repeatedly assured that this is only a special case in an extraordinary period and will never become a regular rule.

But Director Wang himself also knows that once this opening is opened, some people will benefit from it, and the power of example will always exist, and it may not be completely banned in the future. But what can he do? If Wang Shu could dominate the eastern battlefield, and if Xi Jian could cross the river to preside over the stage, he would not choose such a plan that was destined to be a disaster.

But the problem now is that his family no longer has enough strength to stabilize the situation in the current situation, if Sanwu or Jingzhou really want to move the capital strongly, what can he do to stop it? Just one Shen Zhezi, relying on the thousands of people in his hands, can run rampant in Taichung, so he has no way to restrain him. If the proposal to move the capital to Japan was really proposed, he couldn't imagine how many people would join it desperately!

However, today's plan can only be in the shortest possible time, before all parties have reacted, and the people of Danyang, who have mastered the hearts of the guards, can people be feared!

The voices of opposition in Taicheng, and even those rumors that implied that Director Wang invited the people with state-owned assets, Director Wang could turn a deaf ear, but when Tao Kan's letter was sent to Taicheng, Director Wang had to take it seriously. Tao Kan was originally the weight of Shaanxi, and now the Jingzhou army has broken Su Jun's main force, and his prestige has reached a peak.

After pondering for a long time, Director Wang still sent someone to Stone Town to invite Shen Zhezi, during this time he was also thinking about why Shen Zhezi was enthusiastic about helping him, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the most likely thing was that Shen Zhezi hoped that he could hurt people's hopes because of this. But no matter what the young man's intentions were, Director Wang didn't intend to let him stay out of the matter.

In the past few days, because of the granting of fields, Shen Zhezi has been in contact with Wang Dao more, and the relationship between them has eased, and they are no longer as distant as before. He walked into the official office of Wang Dao to give a salute and sit down, and after greeting each other for a while, Wang Daocai handed over Tao Kan's letter lightly, and said with a smile in the banquet: "The day before yesterday, I gave Tian Zuo Zheng, and I actually got Tao Gong's comments, would you like to take a look?" ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he understood what Director Wang meant by inviting him over, and he didn't shirk at the moment, picking up Tao Kan's letter and hurriedly taking a look. There is nothing surprising in the content of the letter, Tao Kan also disagrees with this granting of land, and the letter is nothing more than that the whole king should not be impulsive to harm people's hopes for bad laws.

Regarding this military merit award, Shen Zhezi didn't have too deep intentions, he just wanted to fight for a little welfare for these innocent people in Danyang, and by the way, he brought Director Wang in and let this old man bear a little more discussion.

If there is any institutional revolution that is going to be set off through this, it is overly optimistic. With the power of the current wealthy families, not to mention other people's families, he knows very well what Shen Zhezi's own family is. Nowadays, although there are frequent wars, if it is said that the war is expected to cultivate a new class of military merit, it is really a ghost.

The rise of the Beifu Army in history, that was the Yu brothers and Huan Wen taking over the baton, lasting for more than 20 years of uninterrupted soil breakdown and the disintegration of the Shi clan in all aspects, supplemented by the Taiyuan royal family's dog-eat-dog to corrupt the country, coupled with the rebellion of the Heavenly Master, as well as Huan Xuan's usurpation, and finally generated Liu Yu's homeopathic blow.

At that time, the people opposed the granting of land for military merit, and in addition to the strong smell of legalist prisoners in this law, they were more greedy for the land that was about to be divided, and did not have a strong sense of class struggle. And Tao Kan objected because Wang Dao's law destroyed the customary military merit reward system, and he, as the head of Fang Zhen, could not help but show his attitude.

Shen Zhezi has always felt that the so-called progressiveness of the traverser is an affirmation of people's value and ability, rather than a large-scale system construction. Institutions are embedded in the acquisition and distribution of resources in the whole era, and a good system is always the whole society joining in it, rather than creating it. Based on this understanding, he is willing to help more people strive for opportunities and platforms to display their abilities.

For example, the system of collecting rents from the fields that will appear this year in the past will abolish the household survey and collect taxes according to the land actually occupied. This policy, from the present point of view, has greatly alleviated the tax pressure of the small people, but it has passed on the pressure to the big families, because the big families occupy more acres.

According to this standard, the taxes that the Shen family needs to pay have increased by more than ten times! However, due to the lack of actual cultivated land, the taxes payable by small families have decreased. It can be said that this is a good government that robs the rich and helps the poor. But so what? The big families refuse to pay taxes! The accumulated tax arrears are as high as hundreds of thousands!

In the Xie An era, this decree had to be repealed because it was necessary to unite the forces of the family to resist the invasion of the former Qin. This is a different choice in different eras, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Fuzhi commented that this decree was a barnyard government of the Jin Dynasty, and it can be said that the body of heaven is based on the people's system, which has become a corroboration of Zang's character. It's a pity that the validity period of this people's system is a bit short, less than 20 years, and the Heavenly Master Dao coerced a large number of people in Jiangdong to revolt, which was a bit of a slap in the face.

Shen Zhezi's willingness to promote military merits and grant land is similar to Wang Dao's consideration, which is to quickly stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi and win the hearts of the people by the way. Of course, his superiority over Director Wang is that Director Wang rushed to the front, and he hid behind the arch fire. Of course, if this method can plant a seed that values merit, he will be happy to see it come true, but Shen Zhezi is not hopeful. Because neither side in the current situation has enough courage and energy to carry it out.

Since Director Wang sent this letter to him, Shen Zhezi still decided to help Director Wang be a lobbyist and meet Tao Kan after a little silence.
