Chapter 104 He Must Live Until That Time

Chapter 104 He must live until that time

As a giant standing on the shoulders of history, Chen Ying saw it more clearly than Fang Xuanling, the most alliance of the Tang Dynasty. The biggest root of the Tang Dynasty's decline from prosperity was not Li Longji, but in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, who formulated the framework structure of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Delu.

Just like the rent-in-law regime, in February of the second year of Wude of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty (619), each Dingbao stipulated that "two stones, two zhang of silk, and three thighs of cotton". Ding's man was over 20 years old and granted 100 mu of land, of which 20 mu was Yongye land and 80 mu was the quit land. After his death, he returned the land. The government collected rent-in-law from the people based on the records of land granting. Regardless of the rich and the poor, a fixed amount of rent-in-law regime will be paid.

With the help of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng formulated this rent-in-one modulation, which greatly alleviated the embarrassing situation of the defeat of Qianshuiyuan in the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty and the exhaustion of finances, laying the foundation for the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Jiancheng did not consider that any political system has a certain timeliness. Once the population increases explosively and exceeds the land's ability to bear, a huge change will occur. The rent-independent adjustment system requires the cooperation of the equal-land system. Once the equal-land is destroyed, the rent-independent adjustment law fails. After Wuzhou, due to the increase in the population and continuous land annexation, the imperial court no longer implemented the equal-land system. The land obtained by men was insufficient, and a fixed amount of rent-independent adjustment was paid, which made the farmers unable to afford it and most of them fled.

Of course, whether it is the defeat of Talas or the defeat of Dafachuan, including the subsequent Anshi Rebellion, the biggest root cause is actually the collapse of the rent-in-law modulation system.

The collapse of a founding system is also the destruction of a dynasty. Cao Cao also cultivated farmlands, Cao Wei also suffered a defeat. The Ming Dynasty was a military household, and the defeat was a military household system. The success of the Qing Dynasty was iron crops, and the failure was iron crops, which raised three million people into stupid pigs. As for Changshen Kai, he was success and Huangpu and Huangpu.

No one can escape this cycle, no one can break this vicious circle.

Chen Ying can clearly see the disadvantages of rent-in-one modulation. Chen Ying believes that whether it is Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, even Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and them will definitely see this problem. The key is that they are all smart people and they all want to protect themselves.

Chen Ying was naturally unwilling to act as the pioneer. He understood the truth that the citron that had advanced first rotten first. Chen Ying did not want to be Shang Yang. Any political reform was bloody and would inevitably touch the cheese of the vested interest class. Therefore, any reform pioneer will definitely not have a good end and will definitely harm their descendants.

Chen Ying did not want to be Shang Yang, and it was difficult to see the Tang Dynasty continue to go further and further on the original road. Therefore, when he became the Great Protectorate of the Western Regions, he consciously implemented the system of diversion and subsistence.

Neizhi, unlike the battlefield, where the enemy is there, with soldiers all the way and finally won. Even if the troops are at a disadvantage, Chen Ying was not worried. After all, he could use his golden fingers to make up for the disadvantage in numbers with the power of science and equipment.
