Chapter 494 Noble clan transformation plan

Everyone looked at Lin Yifan in unison, not knowing why he said this.

Lin Yifan looked at the crowd indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, why do I, Hengshan, create so many new systems?"

There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of everyone, and then they seemed to think of something, and a strange brilliance burst out of their eyes.

"What I want to build in Hengshan is an unprecedented new world." Lin Yifan looked around at the crowd and shouted sharply, "It is to get rid of the fate of reincarnation, to abandon the vicious struggle of winners and losers, and more importantly, to build prosperity Enduring civilization. The reason why I said Mr. Pei was wrong is because I, Hengshan, never wanted to drive out the gentry. What we have to do is to completely transform the gentry so that they are no longer attached to the land and absorb the common people. blood and sweat. I hope that the gentry in the world will become sages who can benefit one side, become pioneers in pioneering and enterprising, and be messengers who lead our Central Plains civilization to spread outside the region."

Lin Yifan's words completely shocked everyone.They carefully recalled the grand ambitions and magnificent ambitions in these words.

Pei Yan was already trembling at Lin Yifan's words, not fear, but excitement.Only then did he realize that the leader he had chosen had such broad ambitions, not only wanting to create an unprecedented dynasty, but also wanting to expand the civilization of the Central Plains to the world.In the eyes of adults, the gentry is no longer a moth that you want to get rid of quickly, but has become an important pawn in your grand plan.In this regard, Pei Yan not only does not feel ashamed, but is inexplicably excited. This is the future of the gentry, and this is the responsibility that the gentry should have.

"My subject, Pei Yan, is willing to be urged by the lord, and I will never give up." Pei Yan knelt on the ground and bowed solemnly.

When everyone saw this, they knelt down and shouted in unison, where they dared to stand still.

Lin Yifan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Everyone, get up quickly, I'm not in Hengshan to kneel down, and I can't do this again from now on."

"Thank you, my lord." Then everyone stood up.

"My lord, just now you said that the gentry should be reformed. I wonder if you can explain it in detail." Pei Yan looked at Lin Yifan expectantly.

Lin Yifan saw the curiosity in everyone's eyes, and if he knew it or not, they would definitely ask more questions.Immediately pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "My lord has a few suggestions for the gentry. I want to share it with everyone today. If there are any mistakes and omissions, I hope you can make up for them. One is to restrict the land ownership of the gentry and force them to turn to industry and commerce. The world The land is limited, if it is mostly controlled by the gentry, as the population increases, the people will lose more land. If there is no land, there will be no livelihood, and sooner or later there will be riots, and the world will reappear. The speed of amassing wealth is not only far faster than land output, but also can absorb more landless peasants, relying on work to support the whole family. In this way, instead of becoming the source of turmoil, the gentry will become the village sages and gentry who benefit the people of one side , wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

Gentlemen for business?Everyone frowned slightly. If, as your lord said, the gentry do business and earn a hundred times more profit, wouldn't that make the gentry stronger, and how could it weaken them?

"My lord, is this inappropriate?" Guo Huaili looked puzzled, "If the gentry were allowed to do business and earn more wealth, wouldn't it be more important for their ability to annex land?"

Lin Yifan smiled slightly, "Master Guo, don't worry, my law in Hengshan has been set, and the land limit for a household is [-] mu. No matter how rich the nobles are, they can't buy more land. However, if they earn money, they have nowhere to spend it." It is really detrimental to Hengshan's economy. Therefore, we can allow the land in the newly opened Huawai land to be no longer restricted. If the gentry want to buy land, they can move to the border area and enclose the land at will. "

"My lord's move, is it because you want the gentry to secure the border for me?" Han Song, Chen Dengke and Ye Hongyu looked at each other and asked Lin Yifan.

"That's right. In the future, the thousands of miles of grassland in the north must all be brought under our rule by Hengshan. In order to stop the coveting of the northern barbarians on our Central Plains for thousands of years." Lin Yifan nodded and said solemnly, "However, this vast and boundless grassland It is not enough for us to migrate and immigrate alone. I hope that the gentry will move some of them to settle down. With the addition of the gentry, with its strong manpower and material resources, it will speed up the process of the civilization of the Central Plains penetrating the grassland. And the Western Regions, if there is The addition of the gentry, relying on the powerful Central Plains culture held by the gentry, will slowly centralize the entire Western Regions. Only by making the Western Regions culture tend to our Central Plains, from then on can it be included in our Central Plains and become an indivisible land."

"Your Excellency sees thousands of miles, and I appreciate the five inscriptions." Pei Yan deeply agreed, and bowed to Lin Yifan and said, "I and other nobles are not born to like to stick to the countryside and rely on the land to reproduce the family. It's just that the Central Plains is so big. The land is limited, and the gentry are everywhere, interdependent and fighting with each other. If I, Hengshan, can provide a vast land for the gentry to gallop, who cares about the little ancestral property in their hometown? Who doesn't want to spread the family and spread it all over the world ? Ladies and gentlemen, if it is true what your lord said, it is not impossible for the gentry to be my help in Hengshan."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions were different, and some people nodded slightly, obviously quite agreeing.

Seeing this, Guo Huaili frowned, "My lord, even though the gentry can be a force to consolidate the border, there are hidden dangers in it. If the gentry in the border area is too powerful, wouldn't it be a threat to the tiger?"

Lin Yifan nodded slightly when he heard the words, "That's right, the gentry gather together as one family, some big families have hundreds or even thousands of people, and the children of the clan are scattered throughout the township, allowing the gentry to occupy the town and become the real rulers of the locality. The power of the government is often only at the county level, and it is difficult for government orders to go to the countryside. Therefore, there are the following points in the transformation of the gentry. "

Lin Yifan paused for a moment before continuing: "The second is to release the population of the gentry to make the best use of their talents. Among the gentry, the whole life of the clansman is under the control of the patriarch. The fate and treatment of the sons and daughters are very different. No, the fate of the concubine is not as good as that of the next generation, and even eventually becomes a tenant farmer of the family. I believe that the concubine and the concubine are all brothers and sisters, so how can one treat the other more favorably? Even if the family only needs one person to inherit, then the second son of the concubine should be his other son. Find a way out. I Hengshan has a vast world, and it is time to let it run wild and expand the family in all directions."

"Thirdly, family lynching is prohibited and the family law of the ancestors is abolished. Among the gentry, lynching is abused and persecution of clan members occurs from time to time. The family law is greater than the national law, and it is the norm of the gentry. My Hengshan system, everything should be appealed to The national law prohibits lynching. This is to implement the national law to everyone. Everyone must abide by the law and know the law, and they must be able to understand how to use the law. The gentry are also the people under the Hengshan rule, how can it be an exception?"

After hearing this, Pei Yan felt a huge pressure on his head, making him breathless.These two items have already touched the most fundamental interests of the gentry. Without the cohesion of the gentry, the gentry will no longer be a gentry, but just a mess.And the lack of ancestral family law will make the family's deterrent power no longer, and eventually the family will only split into branches. After a hundred years, who will remember the big family in those branch families?
Pei Yan looked at Lin Yifan bitterly, he knew that no matter how much he begged, he could not change this established decision.Gentlemen, I'm afraid they're about to bleed.
