"No money? No money is also a reason? ”

The national teacher said in amazement.

Jia Yidao was sad for a moment, and then carefully explained to the immortal who did not eat the fireworks of the world.

"The national teacher, all the expenses of the imperial court come from taxes, and these taxes are limited, the official family, the imperial court, the army, the construction of the expenses are all taken from these taxes, the construction of the city, the construction of the city defense equipment, the food and salary of the garrison soldiers, are also from this, and even the Salesian Bureau, the medicine bureau and the almshouse run by the official family, including the construction of the national teacher here are also taken from the taxes.

These taxes are limited.

Even in normal times, it's just maintained.

In the past 20 years since the Mongol invasion of the south, Sichuan and Huai have been destroyed, and this time the war has even spread to Jiangxi, these places can no longer provide taxes for the imperial court, but also have to pay for the relief of those refugees by the imperial court, and the burden of the two times is doubled.

How big is the Great Song Dynasty on this map?

And how many such places are there?

The financial resources of the imperial court have been exhausted, that is, these can not be maintained now, let alone build forts along the Huai, this plan disciples have indeed thought about it, but don't think about anything if you don't have money, it takes tens of thousands of people to build a city, these people need wages, they need to manage food, the materials needed must be purchased, even if you burn a city brick, it costs money, and after the completion of the city, you need money to defend the city, even a knife and a shield are also money, not to mention that you have to garrison after it is built, a city must have at least more than 10,000 garrisons to ensure defense, and the salaries and food of these soldiers are also moneyWhere do the disciples go to get this money? ”

Jia Rudao said helplessly.

"What if taxes are increased? Look at the gardens and pavilions around the West Lake, look at the mansions of the wealthy families in Lin'an City, and look at the Buddhist temples on the opposite mountain, I think the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not short of money, right? ”

Yang Feng asked.

"Well, their money isn't from the imperial court."

Jia Rudao explained: "The people are rich does not mean that the court is rich, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed rich, whether they are gentry or rich businessmen, they are all rich and rival the country, but their money is theirs, what the court can ask them to do, is just to pay taxes, they pay the taxes, the court can no longer ask them for money, the court can indeed increase taxes, but they will definitely be dissatisfied, and then they will make trouble, the Great Song Dynasty will have civil strife, if the taxes are increased too much, their grievances will accumulate, It will even rebel directly. ”

"Who would dare to rebel with me?"

Yang Feng sneered.

"Well, there are national teachers, they really don't dare to rebel, but they don't rebel and they also have means to deal with the imperial court, such as hiding the land, now the government has a large number of land, and the taxes are not paid at all, if you can really do all the lands and pay taxes according to the rules, the disciples will not be so difficult."

Jia Rudao said.

"Then check it! Inventory all the land and let all the landlords pay taxes according to the land! Who would dare to be dissatisfied and let him come to me! ”

Yang Feng said.

"Well, disciple, let's do it!"

Jia Yidao said with satisfaction.

In fact, he just wants to conduct a large-scale warp realm, that is, a census of the land, and the census of the field is the basis for the next step of the redemption of the official land, after all, to redeem him, he must first know how much land there is, but this will definitely offend the entire officialdom, even Zhao Yun did not dare to make up his mind, so he simply asked Yang Feng to be backed by force under Zhao Yun's acquiescence.

The land system of the Song Dynasty was free trade without annexation.

However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the land was not entirely gentry's, and there was a huge amount of official land. Those officials and gentry colluded with each other to underestimate the value of fertile land, and carved up these state-owned assets in a sense, so that the vast majority of the farmland in the Southern Song Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of landlords, and these landlords were mainly officials, and these big landlords with official qualities were called official households. Jia Rudao's original land redemption target was these official households, all official households that exceeded the standard of land were sold to the imperial court, the means of payment were moderation, paper money, of course, for those who sold too much, also gave some silver, in short, he had a set of different standard schemes.

I have to say that this guy is so bold, that's absolutely tough, that's really bold.

He was unceremoniously directed to the officials.

Who are those officials? In other words, he himself is an official household, and all official households are all in his hands, as well as those honorable nobles, the top wealthy families in various places, and he directly carried a knife at these people.

However, he did not lease these redeemed lands directly to the poor, but contracted them to certain tenant owners, who then leased them to tenants, thus forming an official farm with the tenant as the core, and the government set up a separate official village to manage it, and finally established the management system of its official land. Of course, it is also wrong to say that he carried out a complete nationalization of land, and his initial target was the official households, to be precise, the big landlords, and did not target the small and medium-sized landlords at the next level, but it is obvious that his ability is limited, and in the end he only got a few million mu from the hands of the big landlords, including the 10,000 mu that he himself voluntarily handed over.

This bit of land must be abnormal, there are hundreds of millions of acres of land in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the vast majority of them are in the hands of these big landlords, and theoretically he has no pressure to get 100 million mu.

Apparently he failed in the end.

This is impossible to win, he can't compete with the entire Southern Song Dynasty officialdom, he really wants to play so seriously, and forcibly take back all the excess land of official households, it is estimated that he can't wait for Zheng Huchen to let people drown in the pit, so he has no choice but to attack those small and medium-sized landlords who he can still deal with, the standard of land collection has been reduced from 500 mu to 200 mu, and the object of land collection has changed from official households to no distinction between officials and people. At this time, this vigorous reform has changed its flavor and lost its original significance, and after Ding Jiazhou, the officials and gentry who had long been unbearable to him rose up to attack him, and Jia Rudao had to step down, and he stepped down immediately after the Gongtian Law was abolished.

In fact, the defeat of Jia Rudao in the Battle of Dingjiazhou may not be so pure, because his defeat was all caused by the generals fleeing without a fight, and Sun Huchen and Xia Gui, the two fierce generals in the Battle of Ezhou, all fled without a fight.

Needless to say, Xia Gui.

Sun Huchen originally broke through in Ezhou with 700 horsemen to protect Jia Nidao.

These two people fled without a fight, and it is difficult to say whether there is a conspiracy element in this, after all, there are examples of those goods in the Ming Dynasty, and it is really impossible to overestimate the discipline of those officials and gentry.

This is the original historical public land law, but now Yang Feng's goal is to support Jia Yidao to achieve his original intention, that is, to collect the land of those official households, as for the tenant system or direct land division is not important, Jia Yidao's goal of engaging in the public land law is only to increase financial revenue, he can't be like Yang Feng One and a half land rent, in fact, the standard of passage at this time is half of a family, and the landlord at this time is basically like this, Jia Yidao is not a saint and will definitely not live a better life for the people. In this way, he only left the interests of the poor at the bottom untouched, and increased the interests of the state by weakening the interests of the big landowners.

This is already very progressive, is it still expected that he will work for the benefit of the common people?

The first step of the Gongtian Law is to warp for the boundary.

But it is not easy to do a good job in the warp realm, the history of the Southern Song Dynasty is not without pioneers, after all, the gentry hid the land that is a stubborn disease that has been in all dynasties, the Southern Song Dynasty is particularly serious in this regard, when Zhao Gou's minister Li Chunnian did it, but the warp was ousted once he was ousted once, and he was ousted from power twice in total, so even if it is just the warp realm, Jia Rudao has to find a mace first.

"But you don't expect those officials, do you?"

Yang Feng looked at him and said.

"This, national teacher, the disciple has some people with some background."

Jia Rudao said hurriedly.

Of course, he understands what Yang Feng means, the concealment of land is a common phenomenon in the entire officialdom, not only officials, but also subordinate officials, he uses these definitely unclean subordinates to be responsible for this kind of thing, and it is also a group of guys who are used to corruption and bending the law, this is simply a joke, those gentry casually stuff some money, these officials in the realm can write the account book as a book, and his failure in history is also one of the reasons.

But he doesn't have anyone else to work with!

"I have a plan!"

Yang Feng said.

"National teacher, please advise!"

Jia Rudao said hurriedly.

"It's very simple, you also know that I still have some people in Chengdu, they have been reading and reading since I left, this has been almost a year, some of the smart and clever ones in it must have been used, let them be in charge of the warp, they have nothing to do with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also loyal to me, and it can't be said that they can't be corrupt at all, but after all, they are much better than your people, and they are also good at mobilizing the masses, for example, let those people supervise the warp, encourage them to come out and report those who hide the land, There is a reward for whistleblowers. ”

Yang Feng said.

"But they don't necessarily have the guts."

Jia Rudao said.

"It depends on how you reward, anyone who reports that the hidden land is more than 1,000 acres, after verification, they will be rewarded with 100 acres of land in the Chengdu area, they will not report to the local government, but come to me to report, and then I will protect their safety and escort them to Chengdu, you see, those gentry who have hidden land always have a few enemies who have a difficult life, and they will definitely be happy to take revenge in this way. They are nothing more than a move, Chengdu is the best fertile land, although the place belongs to the front line, but with me to protect, those Mongolian soldiers will definitely not dare to intrude, a hundred acres of land is enough for them to worry about food and clothing, in addition, you reward them with some money, they have revenge, and get enough benefits, they will definitely be happy. ”

Yang Feng said.

"This, this is ......"

Jia Rudao said with some confusion.
