Chapter 462: A Proving Field for Reform

"Crazy! These are two crazy people! ”

Li Gu was completely frightened by Ye Hua's proposal...... He has been in the center for a long time, and his knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary people, combing through what Chai Rong and even Guo Wei have done over the years, Li Gu found a terrible clue...... In the past few years, all kinds of deeds seem to be laid out, all for today's poor dagger!

Abolish the Ding Fu, spread it into the field Fu, the gentry pay the grain as one, the local consumption is returned to the public, the local ingenuity is set up, the power of the people is exploited, the promotion channels of the officials are opened, and the martial arts are introduced as officials...... If this set is down, it will be turned upside down and changed for another day!

Thoughtful, absolutely deliberate!

Don't you know?

Take out any one, the world can be in chaos, and you dare to throw it out together, do you want to see the death of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Li Gu was stupid, he just wanted to ask, is there anything more exciting?

Ye Hua smiled and looked down at Li Xianggong.

"How can you bear it so much? A little thing will scare you stupid, and if you say something bigger, you will be scared to death! ”

"What else are you going to do?" Li Gu asked in trepidation.

Ye Hua knelt down, leaned into Li Gu's ear, and only said two words, Li Gu immediately trembled, and suddenly, old tears flowed, he knelt and crawled a few steps, and when he arrived in front of Chai Rong, he kowtowed, and after a few clicks, his head became red and swollen.

Li Xianggong raised his head, an old face, full of tears, that is called a miserable!

"Your Majesty!"

This voice was like a cuckoo crying blood, "It is not easy for the first emperor to build a foundation and establish a business. In the past five years, the southern conquest and the northern war, hard work, only the great Zhou today's national situation, now the soldiers are full of food, waving the army to the south, in an instant, you can unify the country, create an indefatigable foundation! Your Majesty, the old minister is full of courage and begs, I implore Your Majesty, don't spoil the Great Zhou Sheji because of a thought! Wang Tian's proposal is categorically infeasible! If Your Majesty insists on this, the old minister, the old minister is willing to crash to death on top of the Golden Palace! ”

Li Gu wiped a handful of tears, stiffened his neck and said: "The old minister is deeply favored by the first emperor, and he can't watch the Great Zhou Dynasty die, so the old minister can only go to Jiuquan first!" ”

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes breathed fire, and he pointed at Ye Hua with his hand!

"It's all you little traitor! You instigated Your Majesty to do that kind of thing! The old man is waiting for you in hell, but I want to watch you, who will be killed by ten thousand people, and will be scolded by the ages...... You, you are simply a demon of a troubled country, a thief who confuses the Lord......"

Li Gu scolded desperately, Ye Hua couldn't listen to it anymore, "Li Xianggong, what you said is not as thorough as Master Wang!" ”

"Master Wang? Someone said it? ”

"That's right, it's Wang Pu Wang Bachelor." Ye Hua was holding a long letter in his hand, which was written by Wang Pu...... At the beginning, Chai Rong was taught from Hedong, and Wang Pu stayed in Hedong as a political envoy.

The set of things that Chai Rong and Ye Hua discussed cannot be empty words, there must be a test field.

This glorious task fell to Wang Pu......

Wang Pu was also frightened by the successive reforms, it turned out that Wufu was a small official, which was just the beginning of everything, and the next reforms, which were called wave after wave, each of which made people tremble.

As far as the gentry are concerned, after receiving it, Wang Pu felt that it was categorically unfeasible, if it was forced, it would only arouse the opposition of the corporal in the world, and then the Great Zhou Dynasty would be chaotic.

He wanted to write against it, but after analyzing it again, it may not work in other places, but Hedong is different!

The war had just been experienced here, and the original Han gentry and landlords had almost run away, and the nobles of Shatuo had also been swept away. All that's left is a blank slate.

Especially important, Ye Hua asked Zhang Yongde not to disperse the land.

Wang Pu finally understood Ye Hua's intentions, it turned out that this kid was preparing for today's reform, and he was really far-sighted!

The land is not scattered, and that's easy to do.

Wang Pu counted the land of the twelve states in Hedong, and in the first battle to sweep away the Northern Han Dynasty, there were thousands of meritorious soldiers, some were promoted to high positions, some retired and went to work as local officials, and many more people married daughters-in-law and urgently needed to settle down.

According to the size of his military merits, Wang Pu awarded the land to these meritorious soldiers.

The maximum number of people can get 5,000 acres, and the lowest is 1,000 acres.

Because Ye Hua has requirements, if it is less than 1,000 mu, it will cause the land to be dispersed and become a small-scale peasant economy...... Think about it, if a thousand acres of land are in the hands of one person, he will deduct food and drink, and the rest of the grain will definitely be taken out and traded.

And 1,000 acres were scattered among the ten families, and every household got rid of the rations, and the rest was limited, some wanted to keep it, and some wanted to sell it...... It is likely that the soles of the shoes have been worn through, and even a pound of grain will not be collected.

Wang Pu easily understood what Ye Hua meant, in fact, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the imperial court has attached great importance to the gentry and used the clans to manage the place, also out of the consideration of reducing costs and improving efficiency...... It's just that after the gentry and landlords become bigger, they will turn around to restrain the imperial court, encroach on the power of the imperial court, and evolve into one after another local emperors, who will turn around, obstruct reforms, resist the implementation of government decrees, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Everything is a double-edged sword, there are gains and losses.

How do you weigh the pros and cons?

Wang Pu remembered Ye Hua's "three advantages", and he gradually had an idea.

First of all, Wang Pu granted the land to the meritorious soldiers, and first created a group of landlords, but these new landlords are different from the traditional landlords, more precisely, they are farmers!

There is a large piece of land empty, and with his own hands, even if he dies of exhaustion, he can't cultivate it.

If it is placed in the Central Plains, things will become very simple, they will rent the land to tenant farmers, lie at home and collect the rent, and they will be able to live an easy life.

But not in Hedong, there is not so much labor here!

The first thing the farmers had to do was to buy slaves from the Jinglu pacification envoys.

Zhang Yongde was happy to serve his former subordinates.

He sent out his men and horses to the grasslands, captured slaves, and sold them to the farmer.

As for these farmers, they have no income for the time being and cannot pay for the purchase of slaves...... Of course, the fields can't be left empty, and that's when Miss Fu San's money bank comes into play.

The money farm paid for the slaves on behalf of the farmer, who used the future harvest as collateral.

This is a fully capitalized operation.

Many people will think that the capital-led farm is more advanced than the traditional landlord tenant farming model, maybe this idea is right, but in Hedong, in the most primitive farm, this is not the case at all!

Slaves had an advantage over sharecroppers, they were just easier to exploit!

In general, the landlord and the tenant farmer are each half, the landlord does not work hard, and the tenant farmer can only enjoy half of the harvest after hard work...... It seems unfair.

But in the farm mode, the slaves worked every day except for basic food, and there was no rest at all!

Almost ninety percent of a slave's output goes to the farmer!

In a word, the farm model is to exchange more brutal squeezing for more goods!

In terms of efficiency, it is indeed progress.

From other perspectives, especially from the perspective of slaves, not necessarily!

Resist, Flee, Sabotage...... All sorts of situations happened constantly, and in order to suppress the slaves' counterattack, the farmers needed the help of the imperial court, and naturally, they accepted the demand to pay taxes.

The so-called integrated payment of grain by the gentry is not a problem at all in Hedong.

Wang Pu also found a very interesting situation, because the main body of Hedong's grain collection is the farmer, who is more influential and understands more than ordinary people.

Those officials wanted to set up a clever name and exploit them, and the difficulty increased a lot.

Another policy, the return of envy to the public, has become logical.

The farmers were willing to pay more money and avoid the extortion of the petty officials.

After doing these two things, a very gratifying result has been produced.

The government's annual income has increased greatly, and Wang Pu's money has become more.

Mr. Wang is not a miser, who will not spend money if he has money!

First of all, he rectified the rule of officials, and incorporated all the minor officials and servants of the yamen at all levels in Hedong into the official establishment and gave them to Yulu.

Wang Pu did this thing so naturally, and he didn't even notice it immediately, what a great change! You must know that in all dynasties, because of their weak financial ability, they could not afford the huge personnel expenses, and allowed the officials to exploit the people.

For example, in a county, the official establishment, the officials who take the imperial court, may be so pitiful, and the others must rely on collecting all kinds of fire consumption and extortion to live, otherwise they will also go hungry.

Under such circumstances, there are many contradictions and serious antagonisms between officials and the common people. And in order to appease the emotions of the people, they regarded the servants as untouchables, and the so-called advocates of excellence and soap subordinates, they became inferior to even prostitutes!

Now that they have become pariahs, have no way out, and have a little power in their hands, it is not surprising what those officials will do.

Therefore, in many operas, there are clean officials and corrupt officials, and almost without exception, they are all black-hearted scum who are greedy for money and profit.

There's no way, the environment is like this, you can't live without scum!

Wang Pu was surprised to find that the new law had brought too many unexpected benefits, and the former stubborn diseases were easily solved, so he wrote a note to Chai Rong and a letter to Ye Hua.

In the letter, Wang Pu was both happy and worried.

I am glad about the changes in Hedong, but I am worried about whether these experiences can be sustained...... After all, Hedong's situation is too special, he is not sure, what will become of him in the future, and how many people will regard Hedong as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and want to get rid of it quickly!

Ye Hua handed the letter to Li Gu, Li Gu took a quick look, he was stunned by the situation described above, he couldn't believe it!

"W-that's true?"

Ye Hua chuckled and said: "Li Xianggong, what we have to do is very difficult, but it is not so dangerous, Hedong is a good example, what you should think about is how to carry it forward!" ”
