Chapter 798: The Disadvantages of the Two Laws

Tang Yi was also puzzled, this awkward husband is really a bad man.

Today's history has made itself unrecognizable:

Yan Yun's surname is Song, and the Empress of Da Liao has turned back.

Among the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, three of them have given Lao Tzu a thank you ceremony.

Master Fan has lived a long life, and Zhao Zhen has not only begun to have blood, but also has a son.

Wen Yanbo, the minister of power of the Four Dynasties, was trained by him to become a "Wen Papi"; Han Qi, the head of the Three Dynasties, was broken by him.

Emperor Yingzong didn't even enter the palace gate, and he was trampled on. Later, Shenzong, Zhezong, as well as the talented Song Huizong and his unlucky son Qinzong were also gone.

It can be said that everything that can change in the Great Song Dynasty has basically changed all over the place, and Tang Yi himself doesn't know what it will look like in the future.

But it's this Wang Anshi......

It's just this Wang Anshi!!

It's really embarrassing, it's all like this, can you still get the "Seedlings Law" and the "Recruitment Law" out?

Tang Yi was still very convinced, so convinced that he couldn't wait to pick Wang Anshi's skin.

......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

However, having said that, why did Tang Yi react so much to this "Green Seedling Law" and "Recruitment Law"?

It's very simple, if you let Tang Yi use one word to describe these two.... Stuff.

And that'sβ€”

Mourning, heart, sickness, madness!

That's right, it's madness. The lofty ideals of recklessness and fairy-tale political thinking have reached the point of madness.

In the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, the people who came up with these two bills were definitely geniuses and their thinking was absolutely ahead of their time.

However, those who can put these two bills into practice are absolutely stupid, and they definitely have brains.

Let's talk about them one by one.

Let's talk about the seedling method first.

The original text of "History of the Song Dynasty": "The Qingmiao Law is used as the Qingmiao money in Changping, scattered with the households, so that the interest is divided into two, and the spring is scattered and the autumn is collected." ”

The general meaning is that the grain stored in the state is used as the capital, and in order to ensure that the peasants will not waste or sell their land because they have no money to cultivate, they will borrow money from the peasants in the name of the state and charge "low" interest in order to ensure that the peasants will not waste or sell their land because they have no money to cultivate.

Clever, right?

On the face of it, this method is really a good idea.

First, the stagnant grain storage activities in the regular liquidation position have not only played their due role, but also earned some interest for the country and achieved the purpose of generating income.

Second, if the peasants have money to cultivate, they will not sell their land, which effectively inhibits the acceleration of land annexation.

Advanced enough, right?

This is the Great Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, a bit of a later generation of agricultural loans, right?

Ahh

Tang Yi took a bite of old phlegm and quenched Wang Tian's face!

Go first!

The idea is very advanced, but if it is put into practice in the Great Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, it is stupid.

First of all, there is this "low" interest - "interest in half".

I have to say a little digression here, later historians often say that most of the changes of various dynasties in China died due to land annexation, and there is a certain truth.

When the people lose their land, they will lose the foundation of their lives, and they can do anything. Overthrowing the rule of the dynasty naturally became one of the options for survival.

So what are the root causes of land annexation? Are farmers stupid? Sell your job as soon as you can't go on? And then go to play with your life?

No, the root cause of land annexation is actually usury.

Peasants will not sell their houses and land as soon as they come up, let alone be stupid enough to sell their living capital. Most people still have illusions about life and a vision for the future.

Therefore, they will not come up and go shopping, and sell land directly.

They will choose a compromise solution, which is to mortgage the land and borrow from the rich and landlord class to get by.

So how much is this interest?

It is very high, and all dynasties and generations are basically going up in 30% interest, and it is a rolling interest, and the interest is rolling.

That is to say, borrow ten times, pay three times a year, and pay back thirteen times next year. If there is a credit, and then the next year, it is thirteen times, and the interest rate is three, which is seventeen times.

This is still calculated according to the annual interest, and in some places, the monthly interest is borrowed, and after a roll, there is no boundary.

In short, the high interest rate of this loan is unbearable for ordinary farmers.

If the harvest is good, it is better to say, and it can barely be repaid after a few years of hard work. However, in the event of a continuous failure of harvest, there will be no way out of life except to go bankrupt and give up the land.

Therefore, in a year of great disasters, farmers use pledged land to survive, which has become a year in which the problem of land annexation has erupted in a concentrated manner.

This is also the reason why the wealthy people of Hebei and Jingdong Zhulu will watch the Yellow River burst its banks and wash away farmland, but they are not distressed at all.

It stands to reason that when the river is troubled, the biggest loss is the wealthy family with the most land in their hands.

However, on the contrary, when the river is at its worst, it is the best time for the landlords and wealthy families to make huge profits.

How can the benefits of acres be comparable to those of loans?

......

Let's go back and talk about the sentence "scattered with people's households, so that the income is divided into two" in the Qingmiao Law. ”

Two points is low enough, right?

Hehe.

Don't get me wrong, this "two points" is not the other two points, this is not two percent, this is two percent! higher than the usury of later generations.

Can the yeoman farmers on the verge of bankruptcy be able to afford the interest? This is using the money of the imperial court to lend usury!

Of course, this interest rate is lower than the current private lending interest rate of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it cannot be measured with modern thinking, because this interest was the norm in ancient times.

However, even 20 percent of the interest rate is still unaffordable for the peasants.

Moreover, Wang Jiefu seems to have forgotten something.....

It is his method of youth that is to be implemented by the bureaucratic class.

So who lends the most money in the private sector? Who has the most land? Of course, it is these rich and powerful people who are officials.

It's like, if a murderer is asked to judge himself, will he cut off his own head?

Therefore, the starting point of the Seedlings Method is good, but once it is implemented, it immediately goes out of shape.

Descending to various states and counties, it is simply full of tricks and flowers.

Some states forcibly borrowed money from the people in the name of the imperial court for the sake of political achievements; There is a private interest rate, turning two cents into three or four cents.

What's more, it turned the Seedlings Law into another tool for seizing peasants' land.

The people were living well, but they were forced to put a sum of money in their hands by the government, and with it came unbearable interest.

As a result, the Quartet is full of complaints and the people are struggling to make a living.

Wang Tianzhen was originally a seedling method for benefiting the people and the dynasty, but he didn't please both ends.

......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

And what about the "conscription law"?

Hehe, the green seedling method is a secret robbery that has turned around, and the recruitment law is an open robbery.

Moreover, the king god is not robbing the toiling people who have offended the light, but his own colleagues. It is the landlord class that has a considerable say in the ruling class.

That's embarrassing.

"According to the high level of the family, each order pays to hire people to serve as servants, and when it comes down to single dings, female households, and those who have no servants, they also lose money, which is called auxiliary service money."

Wang Jiefu's meaning is very clear, isn't it that he can't be conscripted? Aren't they all on strike? Then just pay for it.

"According to the wealth of the family", that is, the number of households is assessed according to the amount of property, the rich households pay more, the poor households pay less, and the labor is hired to serve as forced labor.

It is estimated that Wang Dashen is in order to put an end to the problem of landlords concealing Ding and hidden households, and even Shan Ding and female households have not let go. As much as other families pay, you pay half, and you have to take money to help.

Or is that sentence, if it is really evaluated, who is a rich person? Who pays more?

It is the official who goes up and down with him every day.

This is the robbery of the privileged class. Of course, the so-called reform in ancient times was to rob the privileged class, but it was so blatant and direct to ask for money.....

Who can stand for you?

You have offended the civil and military forces of the Great Song and Manchu dynasties, as well as the ruling class, and if you don't let them have a good time, can they make you feel better?

......

Yes, the Qingmiao Law, the Recruitment Law, and a Fangtian Law that offends people even more.

These three core decisions of the "Xining Reform" offended both the poor people and the ruling class.

The husband is not fighting alone!

Xiang Gong is fighting the entire Great Song Dynasty alone!

doomed to the defeat of the "Xining Reform".

......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

To be honest, in Tang Yi's opinion.

Whether it is the Seedling Law or the Recruitment Law, including the Fangtian Law that does not have a living world. If you change the dynasty and replace the Great Song official family with ruthless roles like Li Er and Zhu Baye, the pros and cons will not be mentioned for the time being, but at least it can be implemented normally.

Because not only is the emperor ruthless enough, but also the power is highly centralized, who dares to bare his teeth?

But it was a bit naΓ―ve to appear in the Great Song Dynasty, where the imperial power was not so concentrated and the scholars were on a par with the emperor.

These civil servants can play you to death!

....

Now, the era name "Xining" is definitely lost by Tang Yi. However, the Qingmiao Method and the Recruitment Law in the "Xining Change", these two-stirring sticks appeared in front of Tang Yi again, can Tang Yi be calm?

It's really slaughtered Wang Anshi's heart!

......

"No, you can't let this stubborn donkey toss!" Tang Yi couldn't sit still, "I'll go find him." ”

"Come back!" Fan Zhongyan shouted loudly, looking suspicious. "What? The two laws of green seedlings and conscription, disagree with Dalang? ”

Tang Yi almost didn't cry. Fail to agree? No matter how crazy my apprentice is, I haven't come up with such a radical method.

"Master, this is not a matter of disagreement with the disciples."

"These two methods themselves are contrary to the direction of innovation we originally proposed!"

"Huh?" The four of them were stunned, and Fan Zhongyan groaned for a moment before reacting. His face changed suddenly!

"You mean..."

"Mild...."

"That's right! That's it! Tang Yi nodded vigorously, "The defeat of Qingli, Your Majesty and you are stumped, don't you know how important this 'gentleness' is?" ”

β€œ.....”

Fan Zhongyan was silent...

And Tang Yi clenched his fists anxiously!

Even Master Fan praised Wang Anshi's two methods, but you can imagine how serious the problem has become?

To put it bluntly, a thousand years ago is a thousand years ago, and it is impossible to reach the vision of the pluralistic world of later generations, and the accumulation of wealth cannot be taken in one way, so you can change your vision and devote yourself to another cycle of wealth.

It's like, if real estate doesn't make money, you can go to play movies, and if you lose money, you can play IT. Even if there is no room for development in China, you can still throw money out and go to another world to find business opportunities.

And what about the Great Song? The ultimate meaning of wealth is land, and land is the ultimate goal of the poor, the rich, and all people. You move the land directly, and there is no one who does not fight with you!

What did the king of Runan rely on to gather the wealthy families in the north? What does the Duke of Wei rely on to call for wind and rain in the northwest?

It's this land that can't be touched, and whoever touches my land, I'll turn against whomever I want. Emperor Lao Tzu is not easy to make! This is fundamental, in a way, greater than the imperial power! More than all ideals!

The imperial court wanted to move the land of the wealthy family, but the king of Runan and the Duke of Wei tried every means to protect their land, which is the fundamental reason for today's situation.

And then again, even in later generations, diversification, globalization. I am the only one who can break it without relying on force, fund it by external forces, and innovate and strengthen the country by itself, and there is no other semicolon!

Therefore, from a few years ago, when Zhao Zhen made up his mind to renew the policy of innovation, Tang Yi strongly advised Zhao Zhen, "Moderate and smooth." ”

"Master Fan!" Tang Yi spoke earnestly.

"The Runan Wangfu has the help of the wealthy families of Hebei and Jingdong, and the Duke of Wei has the general trend of the northwest."

"It looks like half of the Great Song Dynasty is making enemies of us, but..."

"We still have the other half, how can these two laws really be implemented. The other half is gone. ”

β€œ......”

β€œ......”

β€œ......”

"But..."Fan Zhongyan hadn't come back to his senses, but Li Bingchen took over the conversation." But things have come to this point.... Runan Wangfu and Wei Guogong put their lives at risk! This mildness can't be said, right? ”

People have already shown their swords, no matter how gentle you are, it's a bit .....

"Besides, Your Majesty really needs an opportunity to balance the northern wealthy clans now."

"And Wang Jiefu's two methods are in the heart of His Majesty...."

"No, it's not." Tang Yi shook his head and said admittedly: "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." Whoever shines the knife will chop his hand, this is the truth. ”

"Guilty or not, a dozen large pieces are barbaric!"

β€œ......”

Minister Li looked at Tang Yi in a daze, and was speechless for a while....

Liang Jiufang said: "It's really strange..."

"The little madman is no longer crazy, but we old people have become crazy people who don't care about it."

Tang Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and grinned: "The big official scolded me..."

Li Bingchen can pull out such a useless sentence, which shows that he is already agreeing with Tang Yi in his heart, and he is looking for a step.

And at some time, Fan Zhongyan also raised his head and said:

"First, these two laws have been discussed for several days, and they can't be recovered."

"Second, if you want to stop it, you must give Your Majesty a new reason to balance the courtiers."

"You ....."

"Is there a good solution?"

In this way, Tang Yi came back late, if he could have stopped these two methods in time before they were heard of in the world, but now....

It's hard to ride a tiger!

As soon as these words came out, the four old men all looked at Tang Yi in unison, waiting for his answer.

In fact, everyone has little hope. When Tang Yi first heard about the two laws, he came up with the so-called good strategy, that is, to take back the two laws, and let the officials have a new handle to deal with the courtiers.....

It's a bit embarrassing.

Tang Yi groaned slightly, but what he said surprised the four of them....

"Conscription Law...", he muttered for a long time.

"There's no good way to do it yet, but you can drag it out... If you don't implement it, it won't become a big harm! ”

"As for the Seedlings Method..."

"Well said!"

"Solvable!"

......

There should be an update tomorrow morning.
