Chapter 834: The Biggest Problem at the Moment
Land annexation refers to the increasing concentration of land in the hands of a small number of big landlords and big bureaucrats, while the peasants are increasingly losing their land, or even having no land at all.
Land annexation is an incurable stubborn disease of centralized power in feudal society, and large landlords use all kinds of despicable means in order to own more land.
Especially in the disaster years, in the war-torn years, due to some force majeure factors, the big families and local tyrants took advantage of the land to let the peasants who owned the land sell their land and real estate and become tenant farmers.
……
Ying Fei knew in her heart that the land annexation under the Qin Marquis Mansion was so serious, it was obviously not possible, and there was no dynasty with serious land annexation in history that would not perish, no matter how powerful it was, it was useless.
Even the hard-boned Ming Dynasty in history who did not make peace, did not pay compensation, did not cede land, did not pay tribute, and the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died in the land annexation.
According to historical records, when the Ming Dynasty arrived in Chongzhen, a large amount of land was annexed to the name of the scholars, and these scholars did not have to pay taxes.
Even relied on the emperor and empress to wear cloth clothes, reduce the expenses in the palace, and personally reconcile the relationship with the family, in order to ask for hundreds of thousands of taels of military expenses.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty died in the hands of a group of displaced people, and it was picked up by the Manchus. Thinking of this, Ying Fei is full of shadows about land annexation.
It is the result of economic development, the manifestation of private ownership of land by landlords and the strengthening of the power of the landlord class.
Due to the weakness of the central government, land annexation intensified at the end of the Han Dynasty. The local heroes and clans became stronger, and the people became homeless, and there was the Taiping Road riot.
When land annexation is serious, two contradictions come to the fore. The first is the contradiction between the peasants and the landlords, and the second is the contradiction between the imperial court and the landlords, and the development of these contradictions will lead to riots.
Ying Fei knew in his heart that land annexation was obviously unstoppable, even though he was a traversal and familiar with the history of the rise and fall of many feudal dynasties, it was still impossible for him to prevent land annexation from happening.
Because land annexation is basically unsolvable.
The only thing he needs to consider at this moment is that no matter how the land is annexed, the tax source of the government treasury will not be lost, this is the fundamental!
The thought flickered for a long time, Ying Fei looked at Guo Jia and the three of them, and said, "There are only four of us today, and everyone will talk about how to solve the land annexation!"
With the exit of the four words of land annexation, the atmosphere in the study was solemn for a while, because they all knew that the difficulty of this problem was far higher than that of the people.
"My lord, land annexation became more and more rampant during the time of the Second Emperor Hengling, and now it has gone through the Taiping Dao riots, as well as the Xianbei invasion and the princes competing for hegemony."
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed with a touch of solemnity, he looked at Ying Fei, and said: "The degree of land annexation is even more serious, if it weren't for the fact that the lord and the male crossed the three states, and the momentum of land annexation was curbed, I am afraid it would be even more serious."
"In today's Central Plains Kyushu, the lightest place for land annexation is probably the Liangji Yisanzhou under the command of the lord."
……
Xu Shu's expression also became ugly, he glanced at Jiang Wan and Ying Fei, and said: "If the land annexation is not resolved, even if we implement the law of arranging households and sharing the people, the most fundamental situation will still not be resolved."
"Hmm."
Taking a sip of tea, Ying Fei nodded. Because he knew that what Xu Shu said was right, the land annexation could not be resolved, even if the law of arranging households and Qi people was implemented, the people would have no land to plant at that time, so they could only work for the big families.
In this way, the implementation of the law of compiling households and joining the people will lose its greatest effect.
……
Ying Fei shook her head, her heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy, a dynasty perished, a dynasty was reborn, which was mixed with too much filth, which needed to be washed away with blood.
The issue of land annexation, with the implementation of the law of arranging households and Qi people, has become the primary issue of the Qin Marquis Mansion at present.
Problems one after another, the front foot has just implemented the organization of households and the people, and the back foot is land annexation, at this time, Hou Qin Hou Yingfei also realized the seriousness of the problem.
The people of the household are just ringworm scabies for the big families and local tycoons, and under the tough attitude of Qin Hou Yingfei, maybe all this will not be a problem.
It's just land annexation, which is the lifeblood of the family, and once the Qinhou Mansion issues a change to control, it will cause the family to resist.
Once it resists, it will be a disaster for the current Qinhou Mansion at all.
"Lord, the situation of land annexation must be stopped, and now that the law of arranging households and Qi people has just been implemented, once it is made again, I am afraid that it will cause a backlash from the family."
Guo Jia rolled his eyes, raised his head to look at Ying Fei, and said: "When the New Year passes, it is time to serve as a servant, and when the time comes, raise strong men, open new fields for official fields, and attract servants to farm."
"In this way, not only will the burden on the government treasury be reduced, but the servants will also be able to cultivate the land."
"Hmm."
Nodding, Ying Fei knew in her heart that Guo Jia's method was simply a way to alleviate the situation, and it could not be solved at all.
"Although Fengxiao's words are good, the harvest of the newly reclaimed land is not high, and there is no way to raise taxes at all, not to mention that the country does not compete with the people for profit, and this law cannot be implemented quickly."
A touch of helplessness flashed in Ying Fei's eyes, he looked at Guo Jia and the others, and said: "The land annexation must be resolved, otherwise even if Great Qin is re-established, it will not be able to maintain long-term stability."
"You must know that the biggest reason why the Han Dynasty fell apart was because of serious land annexation. If this matter is not resolved, the threat to the imperial court from the clans and local tycoons will not disappear. ”
……
With Qin Hou Yingfei's words, Guo Jia and the others were also silent, because they all knew that what Yingfei said was not wrong.
The annexation of land will lead to the enlargement of the family, threatening the imperial court, and at the same time, it will also lead to the people having no land to cultivate, becoming landless and vagranted, increasing the probability of riots.
……
"My lord, in your opinion, what should be done about the annexation of land?"
After being silent for a long time, a gleam flashed in Jiang Wan's eyes, he had a rough solution in his heart, but this solution needed the full support of Qin Hou Yingfei.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Wan had no choice but to ask Ying Fei because he needed to know the attitude of the Marquis of Qin on the matter of land annexation.
Hearing Jiang Wan's question, Ying Fei showed a rare hint of entanglement, he took a sip of tea, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Gongyan, Benhou plans to implement a new law on land taxation, and it will be implemented this year, and the field tax of fifteen taxes and one will remain unchanged, but the object of taxation will be expanded to the fields of the four states."
"Once the new land endowment law is implemented, whether it is the Shengdou small people, the big families, the local tyrants, or even the land property of the Qinhou Mansion, they must be paid according to the law, and those who resist the law will not be tolerated."
