The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 27 New Deal
"Next! Hebei Province will implement several major new policies." Yang Tong went through the plans he set up in his mind, and then said: "First, land reform!"

"Throughout history, I found that the core issue of every dynasty change is land. At the beginning of every dynasty, the land will be allocated to the common people, and then slowly merged into the hands of some people. If the common people have no land, it means that they have no way to survive. , so this dynasty was replaced by another new dynasty. All in all, each dynasty is actually repeating land distribution, concentration, and monopoly... Therefore, the problem of our family is the land problem.”

Everyone was completely shocked!

These words shocked them dumbfounded and dazzled!

His Royal Highness King Qin actually blamed the rise and fall of the dynasty on the dispersion and concentration of the land?
They think that they are familiar with history books and politics, but they have never considered the development and future of an empire from this perspective!This is not to say that they are inferior to Yang Tong, but the gap between thousands of years of experience.Even if they read tens of thousands of volumes, how can they compare with Yang Tong who has directly obtained the experience of countless successful people?Therefore, what Yang Tong took for granted is definitely a ground-breaking famous saying in this era.

Yang Gongren was so excited that his beard trembled wildly, and he praised: "'My family's problem is the land problem', this statement...is absolutely true!"

"In terms of land, extremely strict laws must be established. Anyone who buys land will be sentenced to death in the future."

Yang Tong explained: "People who buy land are usually rich people. If the people don't sell it, he will increase the price by ten times or a hundred times...Many short-sighted people can't resist the temptation for a while, so they sell their land and mortgage it! After spending all the money, I realized that I had become a landless refugee! Therefore, rumors of complaining about the court and magistrates appeared. When the landless refugees gathered together, rebellion came into being. Therefore, it is not the seller that needs to be banned, but the It is the buyer. As long as the people have land, even in famine or disaster years, they can make do with it. If they can survive, no one will take the risk of being killed to rebel."

"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Wei Zheng had an excited expression on his face.

This His Royal Highness Qin Wang not only can see through the world, but also understands people's hearts...

Kong Yingda pondered for a while, and said: "The land is vast and sparsely populated. After allocating according to the imperial court's system, there are still many fertile and beautiful lands left. It is a pity to leave them idle and desolate. If they are all allocated, a lot of taxes can be generated."

"No! No! No! The people will!" Yang Shidao repeatedly said three no words, and then told about Wang Shichong's harm to Henan Province, and then said: "Because of Wang Shichong, there are now a large number of disaster victims flooding in every day. The population will increase, and if a large number of fields are allocated now, there will be no way for future people to settle.”

Kong Yingda stopped talking.

"Your Highness, can you share some disaster victims in Bohai?" Gao Yaxian asked with a sneer.

Others have the same expression.

Now there are a large number of disaster victims in Qinghe County, Zhao County, and Boling, and they can prosper in a short period of time. If there are people, there will be such real political achievements!Therefore, the other eunuchs were extremely envious and jealous of Yang Shanhui, Yang Yuanhong, and Huangfu Wuyi.

"The next step is to fill up Boling first!" Yang Tong saw that everyone was disappointed, so he came up with an idea: "But you definitely can't do it, you can set up a recruitment point on the south bank of the Yellow River and use ships to transport it to the north. Is there any?"

"Understood!"

Pei Renji, the prefect of Ji County, and Gao Yaxian, the prefect of Bohai... suddenly smiled. Their territory is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and they have a natural advantage over other counties.However, the governors of Zhuojun, Shanggu, Hengshan, and Wuyang are not worried. They can't get the victims of Henan Province.It is said that there are quite a lot of victims there.

Yang Tong smiled happily when he saw the red-eyed prefects wanting to rob people, and then said the second major reform: "Second, from this year onwards, the system of taxation per mu will be implemented!"

"Everything goes into the mu?"

Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Yang Shidao, Kong Yingda and others looked at each other.

They are all resourceful people in the world, and they have a very strong understanding of new things. "Standing into the mu" is a new term that only came later, which made them a little confused, but as long as they roughly understood what Yang Tong meant through the words, their expressions were shocked.

Seeing the expressions of the five people, Yang Tong smiled secretly, feeling a little complacent, no matter how great they were in history, they could only look like this in the face of this advanced knowledge, so he stopped talking and let them digest it by themselves .

The people are not idle people, and they straightened out the relationship in less than a moment. Yang Gongren said: "In addition to the land tax and corvee, there is also a per capita tax. At the end of the dynasty, the land annexation Serious, resulting in a large number of people who lost their land, but all dynasties ignored the actual situation and still collected small taxes from the people. This is to force the poor to death, and the poor have no choice but to rebel. , If you don’t fight, you will definitely die.”

Everyone nodded, that was indeed the case.

"Is it possible to understand this 'split Ding into Mu'?" Yang Gongren thought for a while, and then said: "It means that the Ding tax is incorporated into the land tax, and those who have more land pay more, those who have less land pay less, and those who have no land pay less. Those who do not pay the policy!"

"It's very thorough!" Yang Tong praised sincerely, and he understood the word "a small piece of food" in an instant, which is worthy of being one of the famous names in history!

"Compared to the ever-changing population, the land is always complete and stable, so it is more secure and applicable to divide the land into acres! It makes the taxation more fair and reasonable."

Yang Tong glanced at everyone, and said: "'Talk into Mu' has six advantages: [-]. It is more fair and reasonable, removes heavy shackles for the poor, and eases social conflicts; [-]. Unifies taxation and reduces many tedious procedures. , saving a lot of time for tax collectors; [-]. Collecting taxes by mu and proportionately, eradicating the opportunity for tax collectors to embezzle public funds and grain; Income, so as to promote the development of production and prosperity of towns and cities; [-]. Incorporating taxes into the fields means that there are more fields and more taxes to be paid, thus slowing down the process of land annexation; "

"The first five benefits are easy to understand, so what's the point of avoiding the birth of a big family?"

Everyone frowned.

I also feel depressed and frustrated. Speaking of which, they are all highly intelligent and famous people, but now they are like three-year-old children in front of Yang Tong. I don’t know this or that.Very frustrated.

Yang Tong explained: "Today's aristocratic families have countless servants, and the servants are not in the official status. They do not pay taxes to the imperial court, but to the aristocratic families. This makes the tax and corvee of the imperial court They have all fallen into the pockets of the aristocratic families, and if they accumulate for a long time, each of the aristocratic families and the aristocratic families will become the great aristocrats of the super-big family. They only need to train these servants a little, and they will become an army of tens of thousands , Dead soldiers! This has become the source of social turmoil."

"People can hide, but fields cannot. Once the tax system of 'divided into mu' is implemented, the object of taxation will change from head to land! Hiding one more person means that one more person will be burdened by oneself! With this in mind, there will be no such thing as tens of thousands of Tibetans, and in this way, there will be no big aristocratic families and powerful clans that can threaten the stability of the country."

The expressions of Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Yang Shidao, and Kong Yingda were completely shocked the moment Yang Tong finished expressing his meaning.

Yang Gongren whispered: "This is the real sharp weapon!"

"Based on this alone, we must continue to carry out the 'spread into the mu'!" Yang Shidao also exclaimed again and again.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Wei Zheng's eyes were shining sharply, looking at Yang Tong, he said with emotion: "Compared with Your Highness, the so-called geniuses and child prodigies are like a mess. I have Your Highness in the Sui Dynasty. What a blessing."

"This is the real breaking down and then building up, this is the great order after the chaos!" Kong Yingda nodded repeatedly.

Others were also amazed.

"I'm just talking on paper. How can I 'split the people into the mu' and collect taxes? We need to calculate them one by one. If it increases the burden on the people, it will be bad." Rao is thick-skinned compared to the city wall, Yang Tong also let everyone praise Get blushing and fluttering.

"Here!" Everyone obeyed!
"Third, the reform of salary rewards! In the previous salary system, there was money, food, and cloth; not to mention complicated and troublesome distribution, and a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, and they will be replaced by money in the future; the rewards are no longer land, but money. In this way, the occurrence of a new round of land mergers is avoided, and the birth of a new generation of big families is also suppressed! Officials and soldiers use money to buy daily necessities, which not only truly preserves wealth for the people, but also prospers business!"

"Fourth, establish a commercial law, collect commercial taxes... crack down on smuggling..."

"Fifth, the separation of administrative, judicial, and law enforcement powers...the establishment of county censors, and the establishment of county-level criminal departments..."

"Sixth, set up a department of education, in charge of education, one minister, two assistants...doctors...two free schools in each county! Subjects include..."

"Seventh, abolish the distinction between upper, middle and lower counties and counties, and the rank and treatment will be calculated according to the middle level... From now on, there will only be prefects, general guards, and county magistrates... County magistrates... instead of prefects and magistrates..."

"..."

A series of new policies that benefit the country and the people have left the civil and military stunned and dumbfounded!
Yang Tong also knew that everyone would not be able to remember it for a while, so he had prepared for it a long time ago and gave everyone a brand-new "Policy Guidelines for Hebei Province" for them to digest slowly!
