Chapter 723 National teacher, is it bad to let go of each other?
However, what made the gentry desperate was that the national savages were destined to go all the way to the darkness on the road of doing things in a way.
Then he had something wrong!
"National Master, is it wrong at this time?"
Tang Ke said.
"Isn't it? What's wrong?"
Yang Feng said.
While speaking, he picked up the jade seal from the side and stamped an imperial edict in front of him with an untouched ink mark. The two words "Guotian" in the imperial edict were almost the same as Emperor Dao. This is his new trick. Kuotian, just like Jia Sidao in the Southern Song Dynasty, conducted a thorough survey of the land of officials and people in the Song Dynasty. Both the official land and the civil land were measured and evaluated and divided. At the same time, the tenants on the land, the crop yields grown, the supporting water conservancy facilities, and the accompanying specialists also drew a complete set of maps of the Song Dynasty according to the new map drawing method.
Of course, nothing else is.
But it is very troublesome to cover the fields, especially when he advocates the equalization of fields every day. Who doesn’t know that after covering the fields, it should be equalized.
"The Ministry of Revenue measures the land and investigates the hidden leaks. Isn't this my job? All over the world, is it the king's land? Since the land is all owned by the government, the government wants to know more about how much land it has. Is there anything wrong with it? As far as I know, since Cai Jing came to power, there have been more and more illegal acts such as invading official land. Does the Secretary of Tang still want to continue to sit idly by these traitors to go to justice?"
Yang Feng said.
"Well, I don't have that intention."
Tang Ke said quickly.
"It's just that at this time, the country has suffered major devastations, and there are strong enemies outside that have not been eliminated and lost territories have not been restored, and there are rebellious groups that have been chaotic and are suspicious and fearful. It is really not appropriate to have more trouble. Covering the fields will inevitably cause local chaos and delay the plan for the Northern Expedition."
He continued.
"If you are in chaos, behead them. Who dares to do so if you are in chaos?"
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"You can just write about the matter of raising the fields. The specific matters are not the User Department. I also choose the raising fields team to go to various routes. Each raising field team is equipped with an infantry brigade. I have to see who dares to be in chaos. In addition, the empress dowager is kind and wrote that all the officials and servants in various places will be released for the people, and grant official land to make a living. In addition, all contracts among the people who have traders will be illegal from now on. Those who have traders and sellers will be exiled to Qiongzhou, regardless of whether they have traders or sellers."
He continued.
Tang Ke fell down an air conditioner.
Speaking of which, no one from the officials or gentry bought a few concubines at this time, except for non-mainstream people like Wang Anshi and Sima Gang, even Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan were the same, Kou Zhun was even more famous, and this decree had a wide range of attacks.
Of course, it's not Yang Feng's business.
In fact, he also knew that such things could not be banned. Things that were not banned in modern times were even more impossible in this era, but the contract of selling one's body is no longer protected by law, which will still bring about great changes. First of all, the slave class no longer exists, which puts an end to the slave system. The complete end of the slave system means that everyone is a good man, and if they hurt slaves, they will be punished according to the law, and killing slaves will be paid for their lives. For example, those romantic and famous scholars secretly pressed down on a maid at home, and the latter can sue him *******, so Lord Kou is not happy in his life. Although it is okay to marry a concubine, the thing like buying a concubine will not exist.
Even a concubine has to marry her.
The eldest woman dares to stab her concubine with a needle and is careful to go to jail.
In fact, this is not an exaggeration, because there were already women in the Song Dynasty who had already cut their concubines' hair, and they were sentenced to one and a half years according to the law. Of course, they must have paid for their sins later, but there was indeed such a case.
And Yang Feng was just really clear.
"Also, all the temples, fields, shops, and usury are not officials. What kind of industry does monks want? It is enough to have believers and incense. In addition, the same crimes as those of the people are allowed to be reduced."
Then he said again.
"Who still buys the certificate?"
Tang Ke said in surprise.
It is normal for the national master to use public service to help private affairs, and Tang Ke was not interested in standing up for the masters, but the problem is that selling tuesh certificates is an important source of income in the court. If you do this, you will not have any reduction in sentences and preferential treatment, and you will not have any temple production to support you. You will rely on the charity of believers like beggars. If you don’t have loans and profits, you will have no business. Who will go to become the master of tuesh? Who will buy the tuesh certificate? A tuesh certificate is up to 600 to 700 cents!
"Faith is pure, don't always talk about money or not. Are those who truly believe in Buddhism just because of these things? "
Yang Fengyi said righteously.
Okay, just pretend. Who doesn’t know your dark little thoughts? The temples in Bianliang City are almost occupied by you. Those masters dare not speak out one by one. Now they are just extending outside Bianliang City.
Tang Ke thought to himself.
But he was not interested in taking care of it anymore. Fortunately, the temple property and land were not in office and it was also a considerable income.
"And, it's about tenant-hit issues."
Yang Feng said.
Tang Ke was shocked.
"National Master, what problems can tenants have?"
He almost said in a pleading voice.
He actually wanted to say that you just stop causing trouble. Wouldn't it be good to let each other go?
"As far as I know, it is common for landlords to treat tenants harshly, especially many landlords even rely on their hands to control the tenants' livelihood. They not only set high rents like sucking bones and sucking marrows, but also use tenants at will, not to mention beating, scolding, and bullying. There are even those who rape their wives and daughters. Even the court laws are quite partial to them. Landlords can kill tenants and be sent to neighboring states. This is simply absurd. They are all reading books of sages. Are they not shameful?"
Yang Feng said.
"The national teacher, most of the landlords are still good."
Tang Ke said awkwardly.
The Northern Song Dynasty was not the worst of tenants, but the Southern Song Dynasty was really miserable, especially after the theory of the Ash Duke became even more complete. The tenant was wrong first, because you violated the rules and regulations. Of course, it was better than the Qing Dynasty and finally developed into some places. It was a little better than the agricultural powers in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was about half a pound of 800 taels of 1000 yuan. This is a common phenomenon in the era of landlords. Even in the era of bald men, rural landlords were actually not better than the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, some areas of our Qing Dynasty were well continued. It has to be said that there has been no progress in this issue for eight hundred years, and even changes are still changing even worse.
"This is not possible. From now on, the landlords and tenants will be the same as the landlords and tenants, and the land rent is not allowed to exceed 60%. It is said that they dare to receive 80%. Is this the tenants going to raise them as rats? For the tenants, the landlords who collect more than 60% of the rent will be rewarded with their land."
Yang Feng said.
"That's Mintian."
Tang Ke reminded him.
"Under ordinary circumstances, is it the king's land? Is the civil land not the official family of the Song Dynasty?"
Yang Feng said.
Tang Ke was sad for a moment, and he decided to shut up. However, the national teacher's measures were not too exciting. After all, 80% of them were collected, which was a very good land area. Most of them were actually around 60%. The landlords did not want to starve the tenants to death. Their standard was to starve the tenants to the point where they could barely work. They would lose money if they could not work. About 60% of the land rent was a common phenomenon, but it was rare to be less than 50%. What's more, those landlords and officials from all over the country were in the same group, with policies and countermeasures at most. In the end, this order had a little restrictive effect, but in fact, those landlords still had room for operation.
Of course he didn't know that this was just the national teacher who was first to win over the hearts of the tenants.
The direct descending to Junta Order forced the gentry to rebel.
Moreover, this equalization order cannot be conveyed to the ears of ordinary people in the south, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places. It was intercepted by the local officials, and then they would clear the ruling with the support of the gentry. Those ordinary people would not know about this. Those gentry would tell them that the national teacher was a monster, and then they believed it. After all, the gentry had the right to speak, and then they resisted. Yang Feng first made these small favors, which not only ensured that the gentry would not be stimulated to rebel for the time being, but also ensured that the officials would continue to convey it with their noses.
After all, none of these matters.
Those local officials will not be stimulated too much. They will convey these things, and then the people will know the goodness of the national teacher.
Although they actually didn't get much.
But the national teacher really has to think about them after all.
If you have a good impression, those brigade teams will carry out publicity and spread public opinion on the equal-field system. First lay a good foundation. The next step is to issue the equal-field order and force the gentry to rebel, then slap them to death. Without the common people, even if they rebel, it is useless. One-third of the population of the Song Dynasty is tenant tourists! The vast majority of the remaining are unaffected industrialists and businessmen and self-cultivated farmers. Most of the landlords are small landlords who are also unaffected or very little affected. How many real big landlords are there?
How big a storm can they cause even if they rebel?
As for those under his command...
"Reform the system of title enthronement, and all titles will be changed to real titles!"
Yang Feng said.
"National Master, the ancestors have achieved the Dharma!"
Tang Ke said.
"Can't the ancestors change the law? Twenty-five cents per household? What's enough for twenty-five cents? One hundred households are only half a dozen. How can this reward the generals who fought bloody battles for the country? It's directly changed to a fiefdom, and one hundred households will be sold for one hundred acres."
Yang Feng said.
"National Master, all these empress dowagers agree?"
Tang Ke said carefully.
"Of course, if the Queen Mother disagrees, what can I do like this? This is a jade seal. How can I do this without the Queen Mother's special order? Wouldn't that be contrary to the way of a minister?"
Yang Feng said and made another imperial edict.
The Empress Dowager did agree, and after he was tortured, he screamed and agreed. He probably hadn't gotten up yet. I have to say that the national teacher's big stick was too powerful, which was completely inconsistent with his image of a childish face. The poor empress dowager was severely damaged, but he still pulled the national teacher's sleeve and asked him to continue to go to the instructor's house tonight. Speaking of which, the official's school could not be delayed, the empress dowager was also worried about this!
"In addition, the Queen Mother's special order, all the princesses have been restored to the title of princess, and the princess is just a princess, why should she be called the princess?"
Chapter completed!
