Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River Basin, in the grass period of Chinese civilization, the Yellow River is a very gentle river, like a mother raised the ancestors of China, raised them to adulthood, and watched them step by step towards strength, in thousands of years, until the late Tang Dynasty, the mother river Yellow River is still a very gentle river, basically there is no excessive flooding incident.

But with the mother's menopause, as well as the child's rebellious period, the conflict between mother and child intensified, the mother river is no longer gentle, but becomes irritable and irritable, but also because of the child's excessive willfulness, the mother is tired of tossing, plus some reasons of the child himself, helplessly, another river that is not inferior to the mother river, probably the mother's sister, that is, the commonly known little aunt - the Yangtze River, has gradually become a haven for children.

Since the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yangtze River has played an important role in protecting the Chinese civilization, the Jin Dynasty's clothes crossed to the south, the Song Dynasty's royal family moved south, and the two Chinese people died in danger, the little aunt Yangtze River is protecting the fragile and naughty Chinese civilization from the scourge of extermination.

That is to say, before the Song Dynasty, the land south of the Yangtze River was the representative of the wild land, so that in the early middle and early Northern Song Dynasty, the famous prime minister Kou Zhun also disliked the southerners very much, and he was happy with the large number of northern admissions in the imperial examination, and he was not happy when the number of southern students was large.

It was the same in the Tang Dynasty, and it is indeed so, in modern times. Jiangnan is synonymous with wealth and warmth, Suzhou and Hangzhou are familiar with the world, Jianghuai style, Sichuan, the country of abundance, Shanghai, the pearl of the Orient, Shenzhen, the overnight rise of the city, the economic miracle of modern China is the first to occur in Jiangnan, the Gengzi Rebellion in 1900, but also the southeast provinces of the province to protect themselves, the Jiangnan Westernization Movement has preserved a lot.

After the Southern Song Dynasty. The economy of the north was overtaken by Jiangnan. Jiangnan became the country's economic center of gravity, various policies were tilted towards Jiangnan, and the importance of Jiangnan gradually increased, although in the end, the little aunt failed to protect the precarious Nanming regime. Shenzhou land has been sinking for hundreds of years.

But in the Tang Dynasty. This qiē does not exist zài. No matter how fertile the land in the south of the Yangtze River is, how much idle land there is in the south of the Yangtze River, the uninhabited land is fertile land for thousands of miles. But the people of the Tang Dynasty really would rather fight for an acre of land in Guanzhong, not take the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was a posture that they would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong.

Suning went south to the south of the Yangtze River in the process, fully felt this, although he has been to Sichuan, but never been to the Tang Dynasty of Jiangnan, Sichuan is the country of abundance, no dynasty will ignore Sichuan, the development of Sichuan and other areas in the south of the Yangtze River is slightly different, but in general it is not much different, but the population of Shuzhong is quite large, the land south of the Yangtze River is vast, but the population is really too small.

After leaving Xiangyang and continuing to go south, Suning rarely saw people, occasionally saw a small village, the population of which was only a few households, dozens of households, pitiful, so a large piece of land, most of them were deserted, weeds more than food, more beasts than humans, it is really a paradise for wild animals, in addition to the capitals of those states and counties, there are still some looks, thanks to the Three Kingdoms period and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period of many wars in the south of the Yangtze River, some historical cities are still inhabited, Many of them are the descendants of those scholars who crossed south with the royal family of the Jin Dynasty or the descendants of their tribes.

But leaving the city, you can't see the dense villages and populations around Chang'an City after leaving Chang'an City, and you can't see the golden wheat waves for thousands of miles, for Suning, who has enjoyed the golden wheat waves many times on his Zhuangzi, is quite unaccustomed, Suning's attention to the land now has far exceeded six years ago, after seeing the starvation caused by the lack of food, Suning's attention to the land Cheng dù soared.

Not only the possession of land, but also the use of land and how to use it, this is the first time that Suning has felt the difficulties of the people's wisdom after the establishment of the concept of local autonomy, there is no fertile soil and no one cultivates, and the place where people cultivate is almost still in the state of slash-and-burn farming, Suning really does not know how the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties controlled the land south of the Yangtze River, and it seems that all the efforts were put into the aspect of the war with the Northern Dynasties, so that there was no heart to build agriculture and develop itself.

The clothes are in the south, and the technology of the two Han Dynasty and four hundred years should have been brought over, why, is it still like this until now? In addition to those famous historical cities and their surrounding places, the more you go west, the more you can't feel the existence of Han civilization, Changsha is an exception, in order to guard against the southern tribes, all of them have garrisoned in Changsha, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and the famous medical saint Zhang Zhongjing also did Changsha Taishou.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the civilization of the historical city has approached Guanzhong or even surpassed it, but in terms of economy, the whole line is backward, far behind, and it is not worth mentioning at all, if it is not for the implementation of the Jiangnan rise plan, Suning is really afraid that the entire Jiangnan will not have any political and economic achievements.

It is no wonder that Wei Zheng in another time and space will be met with such fierce opposition when he proposed to develop Jiangnan, developing a piece of land and occupying a piece of land that has been developed, those are two completely different concepts, two concepts that cannot be compared at all, the development of a piece of land, especially in ancient times, it is so difficult, even in modern times, so after defeating the Manchus, countries such as Britain, France, and Germany did not put forward any territorial claims, but put forward political and economic claims.

They understand that the construction of these places that have not been in contact with modern civilization at all is worth the loss, China is too big, the population is too large, and the country is too far away from China, and if the construction is done, it is inevitable that China will take it back after it becomes strong, and make a wedding dress for others in vain.

Now Jiangnan is a large area of primeval jungle, how difficult it is to develop, this is also counting the development of the two Han Dynasty and the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen four generations of the credit in it. Every time Suning goes to a wild place, he has to sigh deeply, to develop these places, it is really, alas, it is easy to occupy and difficult to build, the Tang army can occupy the entire Jiangnan like a bamboo, but what about after that? What about after destroying the existing system?

However, the existing system is obviously not enough to support the Tang Dynasty's plan for the rise of Jiangnan, and the current powerful people own countless lands. But not much land is actually being utilized. Most of them are empty there, no one cultivates and no one manages, and the deep concept of land affects them, and only when there is land can there be a qiē. Land is not a bubble. Rather no one cultivates. It is also necessary to grasp these lands and title deeds.

The Juntian system of the Tang Dynasty is almost without a trace in the south of the Yangtze River.

I have to say. The Jiangnan Rise Plan is really difficult, no experience, no right to speak, these words are so right, who would have thought that the current wild land is the future economic center? No matter which Tang Dynasty people see the uninhabited land south of the Yangtze River, it will be difficult to accept, right? Especially the Guanzhong people who have experienced the prosperity of Chang'an City!

"The development of Jiangnan is so difficult!" Suning finally sighed, realizing the great difficulties of the Jiangnan rise plan, there are still many deficiencies in his design, and even the Juntian system also has many deficiencies, and the reason why the ancient dynasty has always been unable to solve the problem of land annexation is a very important reason.

Land can be bought and sold freely, many times the land can be bought and sold freely, but like the local Haoqiang, the common people also love their land very much, the land allocated to some people in the early days of the dynasty is regarded as an heirloom, but it was annexed in a few years, which is not only the power in the trouble, but also the ordinary year of famine, the people rely on the land can not eradicate enough food, will starve to death, at this time Haoqiang came to take advantage of the fire to rob, the people had to sell the land in exchange for money to eat their stomachs, But after the famine, the land could not be returned.

This is also the reason why the land annexation became stricter in the year of famine, and the means of rice merchants to raise the price of rice to earn high profits were also used after that, which made it impossible to prevent it.

And the current qiē, a scene that may reappear in the audience, does not seem to have much possibility in Jiangnan, because after walking through many places, Suning suddenly found that there don't seem to be many free people in the land of Jiangnan, unlike the land of Jiangbei, the number of free people in Jiangnan is even less than the number of tribes and hired farmers, most of them are dependent on the powerful clan to survive, and the number of free people cannot be compared with Jiangbei at all.

After learning about this, the four guards and Chen Xie, who had been relieved of the punishment and reinstated after following Suning south, expressed their incomprehension, obviously going to Xiangyang and Yangzhou and other places to get their own land and income, but they would rather be tribes and tenant farmers than willing to leave here to go to Xiangyang and Yangzhou, which are in full swing to fight local tyrants and divide the land, let alone Shandong.

After the fall of the Shi clan in Shandong, hundreds of thousands of tribes and tenants were liberated, and the people were restored to their civil registration and distributed land according to the Juntian system, but I heard that this policy was not smooth at the beginning, and many tenants and tribes opposed their own independent portals, which was the same as in the land south of the Yangtze River.

The four guards and Chen Xie are all from Guanzhong, and their families are all in Guanzhong, and now they are all in Sujia Zhuangzi, and they are the first batch of beneficiaries of the Juntian system and the first batch of Zhuang households of Sujia Zhuangzi.

They don't know, but Suning does.

"The nationality is not so easy to get, with the nationality, you have to be independent, pay your own taxes, bear the status of the land, the harvest year is fine, a year of famine, the income plummets, but the court often does not care, as usual to collect taxes, pay taxes and have no food, and even some do not pay taxes and have no food, what should I do at this time? Starve? Selling land for food? Then he became a lonely ghost and wandered around, and finally starved to death?

It's not easy for freedmen, but what about the tribes and tenants? That is the private property of the lord's family, for the property, the lord's family attaches a little bit of importance, will not give you food, will not watch you starve to death, as long as you do not make a mistake, some kind-hearted lords will give those who can't eat the tribal and tenants something to eat, so that they can bear the famine year, and more importantly, there is no need to pay taxes separately, so in comparison, would you rather be a free citizen or a tribal tenant?

Looking at it this way, it's not difficult to understand, right? Why would you rather be a tenant than own a piece of land? That's a bloody lesson, in such a world, you can't bear a piece of land at all, unless you become the owner of a large piece of land, turn over and become a landlord, be the owner of a farmer, and have a large amount of land, then even if it is a famine year, you can't starve to death, so that you can keep the land, a family has dozens of acres of land, planting wheat and millet, and the output is almost not enough to eat, and it is still the case in a bumper harvest year, not to mention a famine year. ”

Suning told this truth to the four guards and Chen Xie with a stern face, and for a while, they had nothing to say, not that they were unwilling to have their own land and set up their own door, but that the cost was too great and the risk was too great...... (To be continued......)
