Chapter 122 Wang Tian’s proportion! Zhu Gaoxu: I’m going to send troops to surround Shuntian! (5.6k please subscribe!)(2/3)
"What I want to teach you today is not a whipping method."
"In other words, it's not just a whipping method."
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others, especially the serving emperor, all frowned.
Not just a whipping method?
What could that be?
Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes present, and could see the doubts in their eyes.
"Before solving this problem, we must first find out the core of the problem."
"1. How to prevent land annexation."
"Second, how to cut off the oppression of the people by grassroots officials."
After finishing his words, Ji Boying paused for a moment.
The entire main hall of Zuixian Tower was silent, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard, waiting with bated breath for the immortal master to start speaking.
They all know that what the immortal master is going to say next is the solution to the problem.
Ji Boying's eyes especially glanced at Hong Xi and Zhu Zhanji.
Hong Xi and Xiao Zhu straightened their backs.
"Don't worry, Immortal Master, I will definitely bring you back every word! And urge my father to study!"
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded and then spoke.
"First, implement the Wang Tian proportion system."
‘Wang Tian’s proportion?’
When these four words fell into the ears of all the emperors and princes, they all looked confused. They had never heard of this thing before.
Have you ever heard of the Wang Tian Zhi, what is the Wang Tian Proportion System?
"Keep listening."
Ji Boying could naturally see the doubts in these people's eyes.
In fact, he initially thought about whether he could farm acres by allotment, but considering that Ming Dynasty will use overseas productivity to rapidly promote its own social development in the future, a large amount of arable land productivity will inevitably be greatly liberated, and farming acres by shareholding will soon be possible.
Eliminated.
"First, measure the land across the country, and issue an edict in the name of the emperor to recognize the land acquired by the powerful gentry."
"Absolutely not!"
After hearing this, Lao Zhu slapped the case and stood up.
In his opinion, these powerful gentry who annexed people's land are the worms of the country and should all be put to death!
"You have to do it even if it doesn't work."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.
The trend of annexation in the Ming Dynasty was carried out by everyone from the chief minister of the cabinet to the county officials. Even the swords of the emperor such as Jin Yiwei were like this. If they were all executed, it would really be killing from the beginning to the end. No one would be left.
, the entire country's machine was down instantly.
Lao Zhu opened his mouth, but still didn't speak. He sat down again and continued to listen.
"After this, the emperor issued an edict that all land in the world, except for the land owned by the powerful and gentry, would be nationalized. In this way, farmers in the world essentially became tenants of the state."
"Then, this state-owned land is defined as an independent land investment collective, called Wang Tian."
"Let's give an example."
"A certain powerful man owned ten thousand hectares of land. The imperial court took out ten thousand hectares of land from the king's field and combined it with the powerful man's ten thousand hectares."
"After the merger, the state was responsible for managing the cultivation of these 20,000 hectares of land, and gave the powerful 60% of the income from the 20,000 hectares of land."
Hearing this, Immortal Jiajing frowned and couldn't help but speak.
"Master, why is it all my money, they take 60%, and I only take 40%?"
Ji Boying glanced at Jiajing, gave him a look that told him to shut up and listen carefully, and then continued.
"The following year, the imperial court allocated another 20,000 hectares and combined them with the 20,000 hectares. This year, the powerful people were given 30% of their income."
"Another year, the imperial court allocated another 40,000 hectares, combined with these 40,000 hectares, and gave the powerful 20% of the income."
"By analogy, when the proportion of land owned by the powerful is less than 10%."
Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Leave it to your own devices."
As these emperors and princes listened and thought, their eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity.
The so-called "left to your own devices" means that you are out of the game with one kick, and it can even be accompanied by a house raid, so that you can get back everything you gave before, including the principal and interest.
"That's great!"
"It's really wonderful!"
The Jiajing deity clapped his hands and laughed happily.
"In this case, it will all be my money!"
Ji Boying glanced at Immortal Jiajing, wasn't this old boy devoted to cultivating immortality? He looked like he was out of money.
The other emperors and princes also had their eyes lit up after thinking for a moment.
The core of land annexation is to deal with the powerful people who own the land. Forced retrieval will inevitably cause chaos.
This method of boiling the frog in warm water is very good. By the time the frog reacts and wants to send it, it is already too late to resist.
Ji Boying's initial source of inspiration for the idea of Wang Tian accounted for the proportion of Wang Tian was Wang Mang's Wang Tian system, as well as several real cases he witnessed during his years of working in a large modern factory.
It is undisputed that the best way to solve land annexation is to nationalize all land, prohibit land sales, and rent instead of sell.
It's just that Wang Mang's reforms were too radical and ideal, and the land in the hands of all the powerful people was taken back to the country at once, which naturally caused crazy attacks and opposition from the powerful people.
The proportion of Wang Tian is like boiling frogs in warm water, allowing these powerful people to get more money every year than in the past. This captures people's short-sighted inertia and vested interests theory.
In the end, after these powerful people completely lost control of the land, they were kicked out.
It’s just that once this trick of boiling frogs in warm water is implemented, it will take more than ten years to gradually recover.
"Two, private land sales are prohibited, and future generations of kings are not allowed to grant land to powerful people and clan members."
At this point, Ji Boying mainly looked at Hongzhi Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang was startled and quickly stood up.
"Remember the teachings of the immortal master!"
The young man Zhu Houzhao sitting behind him also stood up.
"Don't worry, Immortal Master, I will supervise the country from now on, and land granting will never happen again in Hongzhi's reign."
The Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, who was in the position of "Guiyi", looked at Hongzhi Zhu Houzhao with envy.
If he had been able to enter the court and supervise the country in advance, he would have fought with the civil servants for more than ten years after he ascended the throne, and ended up being chronically poisoned.
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded slightly and then continued.
"Third, after the land in the world is nationalized, farmers will become tenants of the imperial court. All miscellaneous taxes and miscellaneous servants such as field taxes, taxes, corvees, and servants will be abolished and unified as "rent taxes", which will be paid once every spring and autumn, and will be converted into silver taels."
"Fourth, a special Taxation Department is established under the Ministry of Household Affairs. The head of the Taxation Department has direct authority to hear from heaven. In the future, the taxation department will be solely responsible for the collection of national taxes. It will report to the emperor together with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and local governments will no longer be involved.
."
After Ji Boying finished speaking, he glanced at the group of emperors and princes who were still digesting these four points, and sat back on the imperial chair.
Magic tricks.
I have an extra bottle of blue canned fire beef in my hand.
Open the easy-pull ring, take a sip, and refresh yourself.
"Brother..."
But at this moment, before Lao Zhu could speak.
"Reminder: The mandatory patch update has started"
A series of silver codes quickly passed before Ji Boying's eyes.
In just a few seconds, when the code disappeared, Ji Boying frowned.
The content of this mandatory patch is indeed a bit confusing at first glance.
"In order to reduce the influence of the host on the countries of various time and space, except for the emperors and princes of each time and space and the white list of the host, all other memories related to the host will be erased."
"The white list is open, and each time and space is limited to five people."
To be continued...
