Chapter 813 Isn't Luo Cheng afraid?

"The two tax law actually contains these service money, and the service money is reduced to the two taxes, so the people do not need to serve free battles after the two taxes. The government also has special money and grains, which can be used to hire people to serve. Usually, the servants in the yamen are also hired, with special service money, and the construction of roads, cities and water conservancy, as well as special funds from all levels of the superior Dao County."

Li Mi opened her mouth wide and felt like she was listening to the heavenly books. She had never heard of any dynasty or emperor in which dynasty and dynasty to implement such a policy.

He always felt that these policies were unreliable, but now he has seen the excitement of the counties in Shandong Province, and he knows that these are facts.

I don't want to admit it in my heart.

But the closer you are to the counties in Henan, the worse you are to the counties in Donglai.

This result made Li Mi very frustrated, even more frustrated than his defeat in Beimshan.

Luo Cheng, a martial artist who was a blacksmith, not only immediately conquered the world better than him, but now he is also governed the world better than him. How can this not be frustrated?

"I have a problem. You just said that Shandong also implemented the equal land system as outside the pass. It is easy to say that the land outside the pass was occupied by the Goguryeo people. Now the Goguryeo people were killed by the emperor and their population was subdued. The land was collected by the public and immigrants could be resettled and immigrated. However, this Shandong land used to be Henan. For generations, many gentry and powerful landlords have mastered more than 70% of the land, and the remaining 30% of the land is in the hands of the people who occupy more than 90% of the population."

How did Luo Cheng solve this problem?

In Li Mi's view, many dynasties are actually weak and defeated, but in the end it is actually a land issue.

The nobles and gentry and powerful people always hold the vast majority of the land, but the people only have a small amount of land. As the dynasty stabilizes, they will increase the land annexation. The little land in the hands of the people will continue to flow to the hands of the small amount of nobles and powerful people until the fragile balance is broken, and the world will be in chaos, and it will undergo another reshuffle and restore the fragile balance.

Although Luo Cheng was also rebelling, he was following the upper-level route. He was originally a Sui general, and he also supported Yang Hing as the emperor, and then ascended the throne again. This made him inherit the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the nobles and powerful people in Shandong should have retained their property, fields, and other properties.

"Those who supported my emperor will naturally be protected from infringement. However, those who rebel and resist the court will naturally confiscate their property and land. In addition, those who fled before and who have lost their households will also be reclaimed. In addition, all the official fields, fields, government fields, etc. in the previous government were all officials. The court took out these fields and all the fields and granted land."

At the same time, the Qin court mobilized the people who had no property in the pass to immigrate to Liaodong, where they gave them full land.

Of course, if this is the case, it is definitely not enough.

Therefore, Luo Cheng implemented another big move in Shandong, Huainan, Fanyang and other newly occupied land.

Buy back the public land.

What does it mean to buy back public land? After all, I used to take out a large number of fleeing households and all the land for the people, and mobilize many people to go outside the customs, and then take back all the land they don’t have in their hands and then go out.

Why buy it back again?

The core of buying back this public land is the field limit order.

All people have a land limit.

For example, in the pass, an ordinary male person can only own up to 100 acres of land. No matter whether you have good or bad land, mountainous land, slope land or paddy fields, you can only own up to 100 acres. If you have twenty acres of private land, you can grant up to 80 acres of land. This land is a quarantine land and will be taken back when you grow old.

If there are honors, titles and official positions, the land ownership can be increased according to the level of honors and titles.

This strategy is actually aimed at those powerful landlords, especially the old nobles and powerful people. Because the upstarts who followed the emperor all had titles and official ranks, their landholdings were greatly improved.

But even if the old nobles and powerful people in the past had their clan members, they had official ranks or titles, after all, a large family had a large amount of land for a hundred or even hundreds of years of accumulation. The existing official ranks alone could not reach such a huge landholding.

What should I do if there is an excess?

The government buys back and replaces one-third of the amount, and the government pays for it, and the other third is awarded to them by the government. This can be regarded as some comfort to them. If the remaining one-third exceeds the amount, it will be replaced outside the pass or border areas, and replaced by one to two ratios.

Through such means, the serious land annexation problem in the Central Plains will be alleviated.

However, doing so is a great risk. After all, the gentry and powerful landlords in these places are not ordinary people.

But Luo Cheng still did this. His confidence was that the Gongtian Order would not harm the interests of the heroes and soldiers who followed him. With the support of the meritorious soldiers and the support of the people, Luo Cheng was not very afraid of the opposition of the old nobles and local tyrants.

For this reason, he insisted on his own and vigorously promoted the public land order.

After this decree was issued, the local area was indeed very excited, and some people wanted to make trouble, but as soon as they made moves, they were led by generals stationed in various places to suppress them.

Luo Cheng was quite ruthless and decisive in dealing with these people.

All the houses and land were confiscated, and the chaos was uprooted, and all the families were exiled to the garrison outside the pass.

Under such thunderous methods, although other powerful landlords were still very dissatisfied, they also had to consider their own abilities. Without the ability to rebel, they could only obey.

"Isn't the emperor afraid of hidden dangers? What if the war starts and these people collude with the enemy and rebel?"

"My emperor said that they would not have this opportunity!"

Li Mi didn't know what Luo Cheng was so confident, but now it seems that Shandong is really lively. It can be said that his risky move may be successful, and there may be hidden dangers, but at least he has seen the profits now.

"The emperor is indeed very courageous and has to accept it. He took the risk of offending so many old nobles, gentry and powerful landlords, but only to grant land to more people." Li Mi thought to himself that he did not seem to have such courage.

After all, this land limit order not only harms the old nobles and powerful people now, but also potentially harms the new nobles and heroes today, but the emperor still did this.
