Chapter 478: Government Reform

Qin Feng hadn't been home for a long time.

During the ongoing war, even if he was in Yecheng, he spent the night in the barn.

Victorious, he can finally go home.

When Yecheng was at its most cruel, the back house of Qin Feng's mansion was not disturbed, and Qin Feng wanted to let the children grow up happily.

It was snowing heavily, and there was already half a foot of snow on the ground. And in the room, it was extra warm.

Qin Feng sat in front of his eldest son Qin Yan's bed, stroked his hot little face, and sang, "Now close your eyes, sleep obediently, and have a sweet dream...... ”

Qin Yan, who had a cold and fever, closed his eyes in the middle of the song, but asked, "Father, who taught you to sing this song." ”

Qin Feng is full of love for children, "It was my parents who taught me, their parents taught them, and it has been passed down, and one day, you will also sing to your children." ”

This cold-blooded and ruthless prince on the battlefield is at home at the moment, singing bedtime songs full of fatherly love for his children. In fact, Qin Feng's children were very scared before, they had heard the earth-shattering killing sound of ghosts and gods more than once, but now they were not afraid at all, because their father had returned.

All the children sat or lay around to listen, and Qin Feng stretched out his arms to wrap around them. They had never heard such a song before, they snuggled up to Qin Feng's body, and they all fell asleep.

Qin Yan, who was sick, also slept, and he was about to recover.

Qin Feng was surrounded by sleeping children, two sons and four daughters, none of whom was missing. This made him afraid to move, and when he looked back for someone, he found that his wives were crying.

Cai Yan and the others are always moved, and it is very difficult to sleep one usually. And in Qin Feng's bedtime song full of love, the children all fell asleep quietly, the greatness of father's love.

If Qin Feng's subordinates could see this scene, they would definitely be shocked. An iron-blooded prince has such a kind side. Perhaps, it is really because of this side that Qin Feng and Cao Cao are different.

On this snowy night, without the roar of the dragon, the dragon spread his wide, warm wings and protected his children and his mermaids.

The ladies of the Qin family, how much they hope that this moment can reach eternity.

……

Winter leisure.

Qin Feng, who ended the war, began to make drastic efforts to rectify government affairs. With a stable place and a stable rear, he can go further on the road to hegemony.

After the war, there are all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people to rebuild production after the war. Qin Feng began to implement the uniform land system, and reduced the land rent to 30%. In other princely places, the land rent was generally fifty percent, and more landless peasants only had a mouthful of food from the landlord who would not starve to death.

On the Qin Feng side, there is only 30% of the land rent, and the cultivators have their fields, and the people's enthusiasm for production has skyrocketed. Just this system ushered in all the support from the grassroots for Qin Feng.

China has always been a large agricultural country in ancient times, but Qin Feng will not stop developing and building industry and commerce. Instead, it is necessary to give more support to business policies so as to prosper the economy.

Qin Feng is now not just a county land, but a state and a half territory. He ordered Zhou Shan to restart the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce. It is hoped that the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce will take the lead and lead the great development of industry and commerce under its rule.

Before the princes discussed Dong, Qin Feng closed down the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in various parts of the world. In Zhou Shan's current opinion, how wise the lord's original decision was. In order to obtain money and food, the princes confiscated the goods and wealth of the merchants on a large scale, and the commerce of various places suffered a fatal blow. And because the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce withdrew in time, there was no loss. If it is a little later, it will definitely be the target of the key seizure and crackdown.

The Huaxia Chamber of Commerce has a strong foundation, although Qin Feng closed the Chamber of Commerce before the princes discussed Dong. However, the sales talents, technical talents, and materials of the Chamber of Commerce were all brought out. The world is in turmoil, and these people are very willing to follow Qin Feng. Although he moved with Qin Feng, his loyalty has increased to a higher level.

With sales talents, technical talents, official support, and a huge land and population for the market, it is only a matter of time before the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce rises again.

In today's China, peasants are the main body and the group with the largest population base. If you want to prosper the market, you have to make the peasants rich. Qin Feng reduced land rent, on the one hand, so that farmers can have food and clothing, and on the other hand, it also allows farmers to be rich.

At first glance, after Qin Feng's rent reduction, his income from money and grain decreased. However, the surplus grain in the hands of the people can enter the economic circulation link in the form of commodities. After the entire business is mobilized, Qin Feng's taxes must skyrocket. Buy the grain of the peasants with money, enrich the peasants. Accelerating economic circulation and prospering economy and agriculture, Qin Feng's income from money and grain will be more.

The peasants are the foundation, and if we want to develop the economy in a big agricultural country, we must first enrich the peasants. The foundation of Qinfeng's wealthy peasants was the equalization of land, that is, the official distribution of ownerless land to small farmers according to the number of people, the land was state-owned, and after a certain number of years of cultivation, the land of the landlord class did not belong to the scope of equalization.

The implementation of the equalization system affirms the ownership and possession rights of land, reduces disputes over land and property, and is conducive to the reclamation of ownerless wasteland, thus playing a positive role in the restoration and development of agricultural production. The implementation of the equalization system, the reduction of the amount of rent adjustment associated with it, and the implementation of the three-long system, are conducive to the peasants who are dependent on the Haoqiang clan to get rid of the control of the Haoqiang and transform them into state households, so that the number of self-cultivated small farmers controlled by the government has greatly increased, and the source of servitude has been ensured, thus strengthening the centralization of ****ism.

The local Haoqiangshi clan could not control the population, and Qin Feng's power would of course be enhanced.

The class of scholars, which developed from the time of the rise of Guangwu, has now become a general existence of local emperors, and has a large population. This is contrary to the ruler and is something that no ruler wants to see.

But starting from Emperor Guangwu, the tail of the scholar clan is not lost.

Qin Feng would never inherit the bloodsucking worms on the Han family, and his Juntian system would definitely greatly weaken the influence of the Shi clan in the local area. In order to further weaken the power of the scholars, Qin Feng implemented the rural cooperative system on the basis of the equalization system. The cooperative system can unite the peasants, on the one hand, to prevent the grassroots government from not doing well, and on the other hand, to unite without fear of the gentry openly and covertly suppressing it.

After the Juntian system, another important decree of Qin Feng was to eliminate the privileges of the scholars that had been in place since Emperor Guangwu. In other words, the nobles also had to pay taxes. The gentry occupied a vast amount of land, but they did not pay taxes. The income of the scholar class is almost equal to that of the imperial court. That is, the scholars and the court divided the wealth of the world equally.

As a result, the imperial court lost half of its income, which is also the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty has not been strong. In layman's terms, the money is earned by the scholars, and they don't pay taxes, and the government is still a fart.

It seems that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao all relied on the Shi clan to develop. The vast majority of the officials under his command are scholars, and those who are not scholars are about to become scholars. Therefore, Cao Cao, these princes, knew that the scholars had shared too much wealth, and they could not do anything to the scholars. Because then they will become the commander of the light pole and they will perish.

However, Qin Feng was completely different, he developed completely on his own. The vast majority of his subordinates are people who came out of the grassroots and are from poor backgrounds. Due to the control of Qin Feng's thoughts and the characteristics of his power group, although his subordinates hold certain rights and will be rich in the future, they will not go down the road to becoming a new scholar. Because their rights are only functional rights, and they can be removed at any time if they do not do well, not political and economic privileges.

The nobles hold political and economic rights, to put it simply, political privileges mean that the nobles must be able to be officials regardless of their ability, and the most obvious economic privilege is not to pay taxes.

The people under Qin Feng's influence, you can only be an official if you have the ability, and you will not be able to embark on the road of the emerging scholar clan if you pay taxes like ordinary people. Will this discourage your subordinates? No, Qin Feng let his subordinates, whether they were from the scholar clan or from a poor family, become famous enough to sprout their descendants.

And in the power of Cao Cao and other princes, the poor family was born without ** fame. For example, Guo Jia won many decisive battles for Cao Cao. But Cao Cao didn't dare to add an official to Guo Jia, even if Cao Cao controlled the court and became the prime minister, Guo Jia was still a military advisor. The military advisor does not have any substantive rights to sacrifice wine, it is a supernumerary position made up by Cao Cao himself, which is a "small" staff officer.

This is evident from this.

And Qin Feng is completely different, his subordinates will be more motivated. As for Xun Yu, who was born in a scholar family, the vision of these talents will not be limited, and talented people will definitely have a good future when they become famous. As for mediocrity, you can ignore it completely.

The new land system benefited the general public, and the people cheered Qin Feng's name, and even in the middle of winter, it could not freeze the enthusiasm of the people. In the hearts of the people, Qin Feng is their great savior, and he is the closest leader of the people throughout the ages.

However, the nobles could no longer exploit and oppress the people, and they were very dissatisfied with the destruction of their bloody interests.

Jizhou is much better, Qin Feng's world-famous father-in-law took the lead in echoing Qin Feng's policy and took the initiative to pay taxes, which made the Jizhou scholars dare not say anything. However, in Qin Feng's newly acquired territory, the scholars of the state are colluding with each other, brewing a conspiracy to overthrow Qin Feng's rule. However, due to the strength of the Qin army, these warriors did not dare to mess around for the time being, but they still united, refused to implement Qin Feng's new policies, and secretly coerced the people not to leave their land to reclaim wasteland.

The power of the scholars in the local area was strong, and the people were oppressed for many years, fearing the persecution of the scholars. So although there is a good policy, they are willing to reclaim their own land, but they don't dare.

After the beginning of spring, when it was time to reclaim the wasteland, things broke out. Jizhou has begun to reclaim a large area, but Bingzhou has not moved, and it is known through the intelligence guard that it is because of the persecution of the Shi clan, and the people dare not reclaim their own land.

Refusing to carry out the ruler's orders was an extremely serious situation, Qin Feng must not let it develop, and he summoned his military advisors as soon as possible. However, the nobles have controlled the place for hundreds of years, and things are not easy to do.

Just like the future generations, Qin Feng is about to start a head-to-head confrontation with the evil thinking of the landlords of the scholar clan. (To be continued.) )
