The patriarch of the Liu clan who had just spoken continued:

Also, Sanniang's letter mentions that there is a place called Mogadishu, which seems to be far away to the horizon. My family has 100,000 acres of fertile land, 35 Tang people, 15 Fusang Tang people, and then there are 2,000 slaves. The little Fuso also sat on the master's seat, what do you think are the tenants of our three tribes? ”

The elders of the other two clans nodded slightly.

In their minds, the big nobles, the small nobles, the people with land, and the people without land. This is the grade difference.

Even if they are nobles, they are not qualified to compare with the landless people of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that among the tenants of the big clan, the literacy rate is more than thirty percent, and these people are qualified to become branches of the big nobles.

"Clever."

Someone figured this out.

Sanyuan Fang Dalang naturally refers to willow wood.

"Some people are afraid that they will be unhappy." A clan elder of the Wei clan said with a smile: "Those who are good to tenants on weekdays should understand that one more person in the clan is one point stronger, and one less person is one point weaker." Some clans work together, others do the opposite. ”

"Yes, those families in Fengdong heard that the tenants took the opportunity to leave, and they would rather borrow debts than repay the annual rent, and they would rather not have the harvest in the fields, so they must be very disgusted."

Someone else asked: "I don't know what rules can be made for this matter in the court?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not yet, I haven't seen the saint let the people of the world discuss ten things, only to write the second thing, this matter is easy to say, when it comes to trouble, let's see how the five surnames deal with this matter, since we are one heart, then it is better to buy land together. I heard that the war in Indochina was very good, and there were countless fertile fields of fine rice there. ”

People of the world!

In fact, not many people are actually talking about it.

Ordinary people prefer to use their family's ten acres of thin land to merge into the field of a large family, and after getting the coin, they can buy five times more land in the rest of the land.

Some are more willing to take shares, and the income of large farms is at least twice as much as their own few acres of thin fields.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin sent thousands of people to secretly collect people's opinions on breaking the original rules.

For several days, Li Shimin had no intention of looking at the tables in various places, he was waiting for the reactions of all strata of Chang'an collected by the people sent out.

Depending on the reaction, he will release the third and fourth articles of the world's great discussion.

Fang Xuanling asked to see him, and Li Shimin waited for a while before nodding in agreement.

Fang Xuanling entered the room to give a salute, and after sitting down, he said: "Sage, the minister doesn't understand why you insist on breaking the ancestral system. ”

"Ancestral system, whose ancestor?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

"The minister lost his words, and the minister wanted to say that the people have lived like this for thousands of years."

Li Shimin looked sideways at Fang Xuanling: "I ask you, the past practice was to spin yarn with a thread at home, then work in the field during the day, and go back to step on the loom at night. This is what you call ancestry. ”

Li Shimin didn't say any more, it was impossible for Fang Xuanling's wisdom not to understand the meaning behind it.

Fang Xuanling did understand.

At present, 500 stone of hemp can be spun in a day and night by water power, and 5,000 stone of hemp can be spun by steam engine. This is especially true of looms, in just a few years, it can be said that every new and improved loom will appear, and even the integration of the loom that has been improved three times in a year.

Don't be a small shuttle, a small shaft. That little change makes the speed much higher and the quality of the cloth higher.

Fang Xuanling was still afraid, afraid that it would cause joint opposition from the family lords and famous nobles.

The world of the Tang Dynasty is said to be the world of the people of the world, but in fact, it is still the world of the Tang nobles. It's just that there are some slight changes in the level of the Tang Dynasty at the moment.

In the past, there were five surnames, famous families, big nobles, small nobles, squires, commoners, and tenant servants.

At present, it is the Tang people, the Tang ethnic minorities, the Tang dependent ethnic groups (such as the Fusang people), and foreign races. Then, on this basis, it is divided into five surnames, famous families, and large and small nobles.

The most straightforward way to put it is that in Huating County, Cui Yiye told the officials around him several times very vaguely that although his wife's maid is a maidservant, she is definitely more noble than the daughter of the great nobleman who took refuge.

Because his wife's maidservant is a native of the Central Plains.

When Mrs. Cui Yiye's maid saw Ashinadur's concubine, Cui Yiye thought that his wife's maid had to give a gift to Ashinadur's concubine, for the simple reason that Ashinadur was a great nobleman of the Tang Turkic tribe.

Fang Xuanling sat in Li Shimin's study, originally wanting to persuade a few words, but sitting here, he didn't know how to persuade him.

It just so happened that Cui Junsu arrived.

Cui Junsu didn't come alone, and Tang Jian.

The two of them entered the room to give salutes, and Cui Junsu handed over a watch: "Sage, there have been some discussions between the government and the opposition recently, and when determining the clan chronicles, they all think that the five major clans should be determined first to conform to the will of heaven. ”

The Five Great Clans?

When Li Shimin first heard this, he thought that the five surnames were going to be in civil strife, but wasn't it the five surnames, the seven clans, the royal family, and the eight clans?

When he got the watch and looked at it, Li Shimin realized that he had misunderstood.

Tang Cheng Hejaz, then the word Tang represents the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Han is the first ethnic group in the world, and then the Tang is the Turkic people, and the Tang belongs to the Lingnan people. Then it was blank, and then it was changed to a page with more than a dozen families.

For example, the Tang belongs to the Heishui Jin tribe, the Tang belongs to the Tiele Hui tribe, the Tang belongs to the Western Turk Qishi tribe (the Western Turkic mud tribe), the Tang belongs to the Murwei tribe, and so on.

Turn another page, and the Tang Dynasty is a minority.

Fusang, Silla, Jiaoren, etc......

Tang Jian took a step forward: "Sage, according to the original deliberations, the great clan is based on the theory of population, contribution, academic, technical, meritorious and so on. The Fuso population is huge, and in just two years it has grown from 5.5 million to 6.7 million, which means that 1.2 million newborns have been born in just two years. The five major clans do not have the Fusang clan, and I am afraid that there will be objections to this matter. ”

Cui Junsu immediately stood up against it: "What are you afraid of, the Murwei clan and the Mur Clan have said that the clan has more children and more nutrients, since seven months ago, after the Mur Wei and the Mur Gang implemented the fertility reward law, half of the women who have been recorded now are pregnant." ”

Tang Jian smiled and shook his head: "Brother Cui, no matter how hard Murwei works, their total number is more than 700,000 people, how can they compare with the Fusang clan with more than 5 million people." ”

Li Shimin asked at this time: "Cui Qing, what do the government and the opposition think?" ”

Cui Junsu clenched his fists heavily: "Sage, the government and the opposition don't want Fusang to join the five major clans. But it is indeed difficult at the moment, forcibly changing the rules that are not conducive to the Fusang clan will cause chaos, and the rules have been set a long time ago, I am afraid that this matter is very difficult, but the minister is unwilling. ”
