PS: THANK YOU FOR THE TIPPING FROM BOOK FRIEND HOVHO!!!!!!!!

"General Yue is consulting the lord, is he going to take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Guanzhong?" Feng Dao put down the book, looked at Li Yi, who was still angry, and said in a low voice, "Now there is Yuan Shao's army in Guanxi, the combined army of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao in the direction of Wuguan, Han Sui and Ma Teng in Xiliang, Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an, and Zhang Ji in Tongguan. ”

"Judging from the situation in Guanzhong today, the possibility of King Qin's success is very small." Xun You continued, "Pengju may think that since the army cannot occupy Guanzhong, it is better not to send troops, lest the army enter Guanzhong, which will provoke contradictions between various forces and cause a greater crisis." ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, we have just made the decision to recuperate, if we send troops immediately at this time, there is a suspicion that we will change the order, and we will be attacked by those who have a heart." Moreover, Northern Xinjiang has been fighting wars all these years, and it does take time to recuperate. In addition, the situation in Guanzhong is complicated now, and the price we want to occupy Guanzhong is too great. In my opinion, we are still trying our best to take advantage of the contradictions between the various powers in Guanzhong, and to resolve this crisis as much as possible so as to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong. ”

Li Yi looked at the map on the desk for a long time and sighed.

Indeed, at this time, if you are not careful, you will be involved in a vortex that is difficult to get out of, which is indeed contrary to your own plans.

But if there is no expression, it is a little unreasonable. After all, now Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are nominally taking refuge in themselves.

Moreover, if Yuan Shao or Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were allowed to occupy Guanzhong, it would be very unfavorable to Li Yi.

According to Li Yi's original idea, it was best for Guanzhong to remain in a chaotic but relatively balanced state until he had the spare strength to take Guanzhong into his pocket.

Therefore, he appointed Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others as Taishou, and also awarded Fan Chou, Wang Fang and others to high-ranking officials Houlu, in order to keep them in this state. However, this situation seems to be untenable now.

It was precisely because he knew Li Yi's plan that Yue Fei was not able to make a decision on this matter. It is a dilemma to send troops or not to send troops.

In addition, there is another factor that has to be considered, that is, Chang'an is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Liu family after all, if it falls into the hands of Yuan Shao and others, I am afraid that many people will have something to say. Although the current situation in northern Xinjiang is that these people are just talking, after all, they will create a discordant atmosphere, which is very annoying.

Li Yi shook his head and said helplessly: "Pengju kicked the problem to me, it seems that I have made up my mind about this bad guy." ”

The people in the tent laughed dumbly.

"I'll personally go and explain to the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials." Li Yi said, "However, we still have to do the posture of rescuing Guanzhong." Let Pingxi General Huang Zhong lead his army south to Hedong, and let Annan General Zhang Yan lead his army into Taiyuan, what do you think? ”

Liu Bowen said: "My lord, at present, there are 82,000 troops in Hedong and Bingzhou, and if Zhang Yan brings the army to Shangdang again, there will be more than 110,000 troops west of Taihang Mountain. At present, the financial endowment of Hedong and Bingzhou is somewhat tight, and if there are more than 30,000 troops at once, the financial endowment will be even tighter. ”

"Jizhou should support as much as possible, and Taiyuan must send a large army, which is very beneficial to deterrence and stability in Guanzhong." Li Yi smiled, "Compared with the difficulties of previous years, what is this difficulty?" ”

Xu Maogong and the others nodded again and again.

"If there had been no disaster in the northern border counties and Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, the situation of our shortage ......of financial resources would have been alleviated, but unfortunately," Jia Xu sighed, "In the past few years, wars and disasters have come one after another, and we are a little overwhelmed." The big man is bitter! ”

"It's going to be fine." Li Yi said confidently, "Grit your teeth, stay up for another two or three years, and when the wealth is sufficient and the grain is full, we will send troops to quell the rebellion, sweep the world, and stabilize the country in the shortest possible time." ”

………………

Annan general Zhang Yan rushed to the general's mansion in Jicheng, and Li Yi personally greeted him.

After greeting each other, Li Yi said with a smile: "Brother Feiyan was called back to Jicheng this time because there were many things we still had to discuss carefully. ”

Zhang Yan asked, "The lord plans to march into Guanzhong?" ”

"No, it's a matter of the land." Li Yi said, "This time you went to Taiyuan, in addition to leading the army, you also supervised the military administration of Taiyuan and Shangdang County. ”

Zhang Yan said with a little surprise: "The lord plans to implement the 'plan to teach the field' in Taiyuan and the Shangdang? ”

Some time ago, the discussion of land policy in the Jicheng Imperial Court was in an uproar, after all, this is a major matter related to the foundation of the country, even Zhang Yan, who is far away in Handan, has also heard about this matter. However, the later discussion on industry and commerce caused much less repercussions, and many people in the Han Dynasty did not attach much importance to this at all.

"Yes, I entrust this matter to you with carte blanche on this matter." 'Metering the dictation of the field' is a method that we have come up with, and we have not done it before, nor have we had any reference or lessons, so can it put an end to the generation of displaced people. We don't know whether it can increase the tax revenue of the imperial court, whether it can stabilize the people's hearts and restore its national strength, and whether it can become the foundation of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty. Therefore, now we urgently need to try and promote, accumulate experience, and constantly revise and improve this new system. ”

"If the 'Ji Dictation Tian' is successful, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner." Li Yi patted Zhang Yan vigorously and said solemnly, "Brother Feiyan, the country is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not far from the peaceful world, which is our common wish and ideal." Brother Feiyan, do you believe that we will succeed? ”

"Lord, we will definitely succeed, we will definitely succeed!" Zhang Yan said excitedly.

………………

Before Zhang Yan went to Jinyang, Li Yi convened the Hebei officials for the last time.

The big tent was brightly lit, and nearly 100 Hebei officials sat together to listen to Zhong Xuan, the chief farmer, give a detailed explanation of the many problems and difficulties that need to be paid close attention to in the "counting and dictating fields" system.

The basis of "counting and teaching fields" is "counting mouths", that is, compiling households and making population registers. This is a huge and complex task, which requires the full assistance of the county, township, li, and pavilion. All the population of the county, from the officials to the slaves and maids, must be registered, and nothing should be omitted.

Special attention should be paid to the registration of cultivated cattle. After the abolition of the tuntian system, the cattle that were originally owned by the government became privately owned by the farmers, or jointly owned by a certain number of farmers, and the forage consumption of the cattle also needed to be given to the farmers.

One of the most important features of "dictating the land" is to protect the original private land, that is, to protect the interests of the wealthy from loss. Although their private land is also part of the grant, the ownership is their private own, and the ordinary peasant households only have the right to use the granted land, and the slaves and maids of the wealthy families participate in the granting of land just like ordinary peasant households.

On the basis of protecting the interests of the gate valve tycoons, how to prevent the gate valve tycoons from annexing land? The system does not prohibit the sale and purchase of land, but on the contrary, it allows the sale and purchase of land.

After the implementation of the system of "counting and granting land", except for the private land of the wealthy and the gatekeepers, the rest of the land belonged to the imperial court and the state, and the farmers who granted the land only had the right to use it, but not the ownership, so they had no land to sell.

In other words, the sale of land is effectively limited to those who own private land, and land annexation can therefore be curbed.

Then the question arises, what if ordinary farmers suffer from disasters, or have died and have poor families to bury and cannot survive? Will they sell the land use rights? Will this be a disguised land annexation? Will this create new displacements? How can this be prevented?

Zhong Xuan clapped his hands and reminded the officials to pay attention, and he said: "We plan to grant 40 acres of land for every adult man, and 20 acres for adult women. If this amount of land is granted, it can basically meet the needs of survival, but the question is, what can we do to prevent farmers from selling their land use rights? Shouldn't we consider allowing farmers to sell a certain amount of land use rights at the right time? If so, what is the approximate number? ”

This question immediately led to the "Beda" issue. "Dou Tian" means that the farmer has double or twice the amount of land granted for fallow.

With the level of scientific and technological development of the Han Dynasty, it was not possible to use chemical fertilizers on a large scale, so it could only rely on the fertility of the land itself, and then apply a small amount of farm fertilizer, so it was necessary to fallow the land.

Depending on the region, the fertility of the land is different, and the number of double fields is also different.

The amount of the land is directly related to the sale of land use rights.

If a farmer sells all of his fields because of embarrassment, what will he do the following year? Therefore, even if farmers are allowed to sell some of their land use rights, they must ensure that they still have double land in their hands and can barely survive.

"If you want the people to survive and make them rich, it is absolutely impossible to rely on charity, you must find a way to let them save themselves, even if they suffer natural and man-made disasters, they can save themselves, and the only thing that can save them is the land on which they live, so when you try out the new system, you must find an effective solution on this point." Zhong Miao bowed and said earnestly, "We can't find a solution here, and we can only rely on you to revise and improve the new system when you promote it." ”

The land system, the taxation system, and the forced labor system are closely linked, and the whole body will be affected by the change of the land system, and the tax system and the forced labor system must be changed along with it.

"Light taxation is the main purpose of the new system, so with the implementation of the 'counting dictation of fields', the new tax and servitude system will also be implemented, although at the beginning of the implementation of the new system, the imperial court's tax revenue may suffer a certain loss, but in the long run, this is necessary and necessary, you do not need to worry about it." Zhong Miao waved his hands and said loudly, "As long as we solve the people's stomach problem, the Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner!" (To be continued.) )
