Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 490 One whip, permanent tenancy system

Divide into mu?

All the ministers in the Hall of Martial Ying pondered these four words, and soon many people seemed to realize something.

Because "spread into the mu" was not created out of thin air, but from Zhang Juzheng's "one whip" method.

Of course, the whipping method also did not come out of thin air, but was also summed up from the experience of people who had the ambition to reform the government's shortcomings in the past dynasties, or it was conceived as a matter of course.

China has 5000 years of history, and its history has never been broken. Many things have a long history and come down in one continuous line.

For example, Xie Xuelong quickly thought of a whip method.

The whole content of Zhang Juzheng's whipping method back then was: combine taxes and taxes, collect land taxes and various types of labor together, and at the same time divide part of the labor into the fields.

In the past in the Ming Dynasty, corvees were apportioned according to the number of households and the number of people. The one-whip rule required a showdown based on the number of people and the number of acres of fields.

In addition, except for the in-kind grains designated by the imperial court, the land tax was converted into taels of silver.

The common people were apportioned corvee, and they could also pay for it, and then the government hired people to undertake it with money.

In the end, the original system of "receipt by the people and people's settlement" in which taxes were levied through chiefs of food and villages was abolished, and changed to a system of "government collection and government settlement" levied by the government.

The one-whip law is the core content of Zhang Juzheng's reform. If it can be fully implemented and continued to be implemented, it is estimated that it will last for more than a hundred years for the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that it was difficult to fully implement the whipping method when Zhang Juzheng was alive, and it was abolished after Zhang Juzheng's death, just like the death of a person.

Even so, it lasted at least 50 years for the Ming Dynasty.

In the history of later generations, the "split Ding into mu" and other measures in Yongzheng's reform were not fully implemented, but the degree of completion must be higher than that of Zhang Juzheng's reform. After all, Yongzheng was the emperor, and Zhang Juzheng was only the chief assistant.

As a result, Yongzheng reversed the law of the change of the Chinese dynasty of "Hu Wu's century-old national fortune"...
Although Aimee Zhu saw that many ministers seemed to be enlightened, she also saw some ministers looking confused.So, she simply talked about "spread into the mother" on the slides.

After listening to it, the faces of the ministers were all different, and many of them were beeping in their hearts——

'Your Majesty's move is much more ruthless than that of Qingzhang Tianmu. '

'Qingzhang Tianmu just asked the gentry and landlord to pay the full amount of taxes that should be paid. '

'But this is a thorough deepening of the whipping method, allowing those with more land to pay the silver (service money) for those with little land and those without land, which is tantamount to letting the landlord cut their flesh. This is not an ordinary pain. '

'If it is really implemented, it will be a big disappointment to people (landlords). '

'···'

For a time, no matter whether it was the cabinet ministers or the officials of the household department, some people felt that it was too harsh and inappropriate to cut the landlord into the land, and it might even trigger a civil uprising.

But no one dared to stop it.

Because this incident can indeed greatly alleviate social conflicts, and it will be of great benefit to the long-term rule of Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuxi now has more than 80 new troops of the Ming Dynasty in command, and she has great supernatural powers, so she has very good conditions to implement this strategy.

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, she looked at Huang Daozhou, and asked with a smile: "If it is implemented, Mr. Yi Shan thinks it is okay for a woman to talk about her husband?"

...

"This..." Huang Daozhou hesitated for a while, and said, "Of course it is possible."

If the tax is levied on the basis of acres of land, then how much tax is paid has nothing to do with how many tenements there are in the family.In this way, the common people naturally don't care whether a woman talks about sex or not.

Thinking of this, Huang Daozhou still had a question, and immediately said: "If so, women's discussion of sex will only make her stand out in the new political division, and it will be the same whether it is sex or not in the future. Why is your majesty obsessed with this?"

"Only women can gain some rights that women do not have but men have. This will liberate the power of women in Ming Dynasty." At this point, Zhu Wei paused, "This matter is far away, it has nothing to do with today's topic, You should continue discussing land tax reform."

Although Auntie Zhu didn't continue talking, but a kind of ministers remembered them all, and each of them began to mutter in their hearts——

'It seems that His Majesty is still not enough to be a female emperor, and he still has to fight for the rights and interests of women. '

'Could it be that His Majesty wants to restore the status of women in the Han and Tang Dynasties? '

'Your Majesty is very determined to do this. It seems that this day will really change a lot. '

'···'

Aimee Zhu didn't know what the ministers thought, and she wouldn't care if she knew.

Because she is really determined to do this, and will not give up because of anyone's obstruction.

However, what needs to be done at present is the first two steps of the land tax reform, clearing Zhang Tianmu and sharing Dingmu.

The meeting continued, and soon the head of the household department, Xiong Rulin, mentioned an incident that attracted the attention of Aimee Zhu and the cabinet ministers.

"I believe that when the land is cleared, the common people are easily deceived and used by the landlords and evil gentry to obstruct the officials, because most of the common people are landlords and tenants.

There are many people in Ming Dynasty who are tenants, and the disadvantages are linked together. Since His Majesty is determined to carry out land tax reform, it is the best policy to eliminate the disadvantages of renting together! "

After hearing Xiong Rulin's words, Auntie Zhu couldn't help smiling and nodding.

It seems that there are one or two people in the household department who can use it.

With the help of Hao Guangming and the later generations of the Internet, she naturally understands the issue of Daming’s tenancy and rent, because this matter is originally integrated with Daming’s land administration, and they influence each other and cannot be separated.

The Ming Dynasty succeeded the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and this land tenancy relationship naturally originated from the permanent tenancy system in the Song Dynasty.

It stands to reason that the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties did not suppress land mergers, and many people in the world should have no land to grow and could only be reduced to refugees.But this is not the case in reality. People generally become landlords and tenants after losing their fields, because landlords also need people to farm.

Even, many common people will take the initiative to give their land to gentry, scholars, nobles, vassal princes and clans with tax exemption rights, and take the initiative to become tenants in order to avoid court taxes.

The reason for this is because of the existence of the "permanent tenancy system".

For example, if a piece of land is owned by a landlord, the landlord can lease the land to the landless people for rent.

If this matter is strictly implemented in accordance with the permanent tenancy system, the landlord has no right to increase the rent at will, nor has the right to interfere with what the tenants plant, or even deprive the tenants at will, that is, they cannot arbitrarily terminate the land lease relationship.

There have been smart people in all dynasties who came up with this permanent tenancy system in order to alleviate social conflicts caused by land annexation.

Of course, any system depends on how well it is implemented. If it is not implemented well, it will not work.If it is carried out to the left, it will easily lead to other contradictions.

...

For example, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many Fujianese came to Jiangxi to farm.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu. Install the latest version. 】

And in most places, there are many landlords who just find an excuse to seize the tenants in order to oppress the tenants.As for rent increases, it is commonplace.

Therefore, many times it is not that there is no good policy, but that it is not well implemented.

Of course, the permanent tenancy system is not all advantages in terms of feudal dynasties, but also has many disadvantages.

Auntie Zhu looked at Xiong Rulin and asked, "Since you know the disadvantages of renting, can you tell me more about it?"

The ministers were not surprised to hear this.

Having been a courtier of Aimee Zhu for half a year, everyone knows that Aimee Zhu hates empty talk from courtiers the most.Whenever a meeting is held, the courtiers must speak with something to say, and it is best to be able to explain specific matters and even mention specific data.

Xiong Rulin dared to mention this matter at the imperial meeting, so she was naturally prepared.

He said: "The method of leasing land in my dynasty is the permanent tenancy system. Although this method is beneficial to the tenants, it also has disadvantages.

That is to say, after tenants lease the land, they can not only use the land for a long time and let their descendants inherit the tenancy rights, but also sell, mortgage, pawn and re-lease the land.

The minister believed that among the rights of tenants, the "re-tenancy" clause was the worst, which made it difficult to distinguish the ownership of many lands, and even the original owners could not be found.

Therefore, the disadvantages of the permanent tenancy system should not be eliminated. Not only will the interests of many tenants and landlords be integrated and used for them, but it will also make it difficult to clear Zhang Zhang's land! "

After hearing Xiong Rulin's words, the other ministers couldn't help thinking.

In fact, the problems brought about by the permanent tenancy system have been causing problems for local governments when dealing with land-related issues.

As Xiong Rulin said, sometimes a piece of land has been sublet several times, and if you want to find the original owner to solve the problem, you have to spend a lot of time, and you can't even find the original owner.

Moreover, subletting will also cause second, third, or even fourth exploitation of the subsequent tenants, making the permanent tenancy system change from a good government that reduces the burden on tenants to a bad government that exploits bottom-level tenants!

However, when the ministers were thinking about the issue of the permanent tenancy system, Aimee Zhu was thinking about Xiong Rulin's resume...
