Chapter 1199 is about to start dividing land

"The land system of the Liao Kingdom is different from that of the Song Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom actually has very few private land, and most of them are concentrated on Nanjing Road. In other places, the main land is mainly based on official land. The situation on Tokyo Road is the same. There is basically no private land, and the land is owned by officials.

The official fields in Liaodong are divided into three categories: homeless wasteland, military farmland, and official fields. The homeless wasteland can be recruited to cultivate and rented to the official. Most of the military farmlands are military farmlands, which are cultivated by soldiers. In addition to the harvest, the soldiers will support themselves, and all of them will be returned to the country. In the official fields, people can be recruited to cultivate and rented to the official.

In addition, the Khitan, Xi tribe, Jurchen and other tribes also occupied land in Liaodong, and these lands were also official. The land occupied by the Khitan nobles built in Liaodong was the official land distributed to the tribe.

However, some of the Liao courts were rough and powerful, and the powerful families often occupied official land privately, cultivated and cultivated, and did not register with the government to escape land rent... This is the land my family occupied in Xianzhou."

In the Liaoyang Palace, the person who was very dedicated to explaining the land issue of the Liao Kingdom to Wu Haogu was the Ma Renwang.

He served as a high-ranking bureaucrat in the southern part of the Liao Kingdom, and he had been in charge of the "California" for a long time, that is, a high-ranking official in charge of civil affairs and finance. Of course, he was very familiar with land issues.

In this era, the State of Song had established a complete private land ownership system, which was the private land ownership system that was misunderstood by later generations as the "feudal land system".

In fact, in countries outside China, no one links private ownership of land with feudalism.

As for feudalism, the land needs to be sealed! It’s not feudal to spend money to buy it…

Therefore, the land ownership of the Song Dynasty was actually not feudal, but Wu Haogu's "bourgeois republic" was establishing feudal land ownership.

The nature of the manors of the Knights and the Mansions is a vocational land. That is, the salary of the Knights and the Mansions is paid by the land output, so the manors occupied by the Knights and the Mansions are tax-free and rent-free. Moreover, the knights, the Mansions themselves, and the prescribed number of Dingkou do not have to pay the exemption of service and household tax.

Of course, the number of exemption money and taxes that can be exempted from the Knight House and the Mansion Army is different. There are more ditches that can be exempted from the Knight House, while there are few ditches that can be exempted from the Knight House.

Of course, the Liao Kingdom was mainly feudal land ownership. However, the Liao Kingdom's management was relatively rough and did not establish a strict field and military service system.

The management of official fields was even more chaotic. The nobles and powerful occupied land and enclosed land at will, and the temples also occupied land together, and the court did not care much about it.

Therefore, the area of ​​reclaimed black soil in Liaodong is far larger than that of Nanjing Road, but in terms of tax revenue, it is far less than that of Nanjing Road, which has barren and narrow land.

Because of the background of the Central Plains bureaucratic system, Nanjing Road was managed relatively strictly. Therefore, the Suche in Liao Dynasty had records that "the rich families were forced to be taken away, and the children did not dare to cherish their treasures, and the Yan people thought it was the most painful."

On the Tokyo Road, in history, because Feng Yanxiu and Han Shaoxun were in charge of Tokyo Road, he wanted to collect taxes according to the Yan location standards, which led to the Dayanlin Rebellion, so the Liao court later adopted a concession policy.

Not only did the relatively light taxes be implemented in Liaodong, but the land was not seriously "inclusive", so the Liao court did not know how many official land was occupied by the powerful and wealthy families.

Wu Haogu asked with a smile: "In other words, all the land in Liaodong is owned by officials of the Liao Dynasty. Is that true?"

"It's basically the official one."

"That's easy!" Wu Haogu stroked his hands and smiled: "First of all, it's about land! How much land here in Liaodong and western Liaoning has been reclaimed or can be reclaimed must be found out!

Mr. Ma, you can take the lead in this matter! Let Zhang Lin, Zuo Qigong, Han Qixian, Yu Zhongwen and others come to Liaodong to assist you, and the children of various families in Yan can also come to Liaodong and take local officials in western Liaoning. Is this a good arrangement?"

The horse man looked around and stroked his beard and said, "Okay, okay... With these people help, I can definitely check the land in Liaodong and western Liaoning clearly.

In fact, when I was an official in Liao Kingdom, I really didn’t dare to investigate. If I continue to investigate, I would even give up my life. Now in Liaodong and western Liaoning are under the rule of the Republican government, what are I still afraid of?”

"Yes! Don't be afraid of anything!" Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The Republican Army is in Liaodong, and the western Liaoning has set up a large army of 300,000. Whatever the right surname is the left surname, you will be in the battle if you are not convinced!"

"How dare they?" Ma Renwang shook his head and smiled, "And they have no reason. Those lands are not theirs. They have been white for more than a hundred years. What else do you want to do?

In fact, it is not the Bohai Youshou family that is planting, but the Bohai slaves are planting. At the earliest, the Bohai Youshou family that was just a Khitan nobleman or a temple who had enclosed the land.

Because the Bohai You surname controls a large number of Bohai slaves, whether it is the Khitan nobles or the lawless temples, after occupying the land, the Bohai You surname must be managed, and they have become bigger because of this.”

It turns out that the land on Tokyo Road, Liao Kingdom is not rare, but what is lacking is labor. This is also the main reason why the Bohai You surname can gradually grow and grow after the country is destroyed.

This time, Wu Haogu not only had to deprive the land of the You surname (actually not theirs), but also had to deprive the You surname family of the population control.

Because at least 200,000 citizens (including military households and knight households) that Wu Haogu had to settle in Liaodong also needed tenant farmers and hired farmers.

"In power," Ma Renwang touched his beard, "I suggest that while encircling the fields and inspecting the land, all the children of the Bohai right surname on the ground in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning will be moved to Lushun Prefecture to resettlement."

Wu Haogu was holding his beard, as if he was thinking carefully.

Ma Renwang said: "The You surname of Bohai manages land and land for the Khitans for more than 100 years, and most of them have some assets. Moreover, their children have read some books, which is considered half a scholar. If they can concentrate in Lushun Prefecture, Lushun will definitely prosper quickly."

"Will there be troubles in gathering them in Lushun?" Wu Haogu was a little worried.

Lushun was his large base in Liaodong and the ruling center.

The Ma Ren thought about it and said, "Then move them to Chenzhou and Lushun respectively. If they are divided into two places, they should not be in chaos... It is estimated that one hundred and two hundred thousand people will be moved. One person will be divided into five acres of land, and one million acres of land should be enough."

"Split four places," Wuhao Gu Road, "Give some more to Brother Ma and send some to Andong Mansion. There are 5,000 households to Bohai Prefecture. In this way, the right surname of Bohai will be divided into five places, and there will be no harm."

"It's actually seven places." Ma Renwang smiled, "There are some in the Liao Kingdom, and there are also Bohai people in the north of Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road. In addition, some will go out to Huanglong Mansion to surrender to Wanyan Aguda, and maybe some Bohai slaves will be taken away."

"Then let them go!" Wu Haogu waved his hand, "When the troops were deployed, they would start searching households in Liaodong and western Liaoning! After finding out the household registration, they would announce the relocation of the right surname.

In addition, the patriarchs of each family in the right surname must all be concentrated in Liaoyang Prefecture to live."

Wu Haogu was in Liaodong this time, and western Liaoning was able to carry out the "land revolution" easily.

On the one hand, there were the Han tyrants and other leaders in Yan land to help; on the other hand, the Republican government had elites who "land reform" in Yan land; on the third, there was a 300,000 army town here!

This 300,000 army was not only a deterrent to the Bohai Youn surname, but also a supervisor to the officials responsible for prosecuting the land and fields.

And Wu Haogu himself, of course, had to take charge in Liaoyang Prefecture!

For the current Republican government, there is nothing bigger than "land reform in western Liaoning and Liaodong".

Once the feudal land reform is completed this time, the citizens of the Republican government are likely to exceed 300,000!

With these 300,000 armed citizens, the Republic has a solid foundation.

In addition to being in charge, Wu Haogu also planned to invite scholars from Murong Wangyou, Lu Haowen, Lu Benzhong, Su Zhu, Su Guo, Li Gang, Hou Zhongliang and other empirical schools, rational schools and even Neo-Confucian schools to Liaoyang Prefecture to discuss the issue of establishing a republic together.

Establishing a republic with the whole world is much more difficult than creating an empire by copying it.

At this time, China had had an imperial tradition of more than 1,300 years. There were many precedents to follow in the establishment of an empire or a kingdom (there was actually no essential difference between the two in China).

However, the Republic is a national form that has never been seen in Chinese history. In addition to the "Western Zhou Republic" recorded in history, it is the practice of local regimes such as Jiehe Shang City, Jingdong Shang City, Youzhou and Nanyang Protectorate.

To be honest, republicanism is not mature and is far from being deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Wu Haogu now carried out the Republic's brand because he could not see the hope of the imperial system.

It’s not that he cannot be the emperor himself, but that without changing the general direction of Youzhou Republic, only Wu Haogu and Wu Haogu’s son can hold on to the emperor. If he passes it down, there will definitely be a revolution.

Because the foundation of the Youzhou regime is not the literati who maintains the imperial power, but the armed citizens and bourgeoisie who subverts the imperial power. These people are equivalent to American mobs who everyone carries guns and capitalists with black conscience!

Among them, the elites of armed citizens are military academy students. Who are these?

The elites in the bourgeoisie are college students with students from Yuntai Academy as the core (universities have not expanded their enrollment these days). How many thorns have been produced in modern universities?

As long as you understand a little bit of modern history, you will know that military academies and universities are the cradles of revolutionaries in imperial countries!

How could Wu Haogu work hard to cultivate revolutionaries while letting his descendants kill the emperor's work? He doesn't even eat his own children!

So Wu Haogu, who knows what monster he has raised over the years, will never let his descendants become the target of revolution.

However, we must consolidate the foundation of the republic in our lifetime, so as not to dive into the trap of imperial system in a mess and send our lives on the guillotine in the future. Wu Haogu has to spend some time.

In addition, it is the Middle Ages after all, and the privileges of the Republic and the nobles are not completely opposite. The heroes of the Republic, including Wu Haogu himself, still need certain privileges as rewards...
