Guanzhong, Jingzhao Prefecture, Xianyang County, Dawei Village.

This is the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, with fields crisscrossing and piers and markets close to the Wei River, and people are constantly coming and going. Now it is also the winter free time in Guanzhong, and many farmers in Dawei Village take advantage of the slack farm to take on the wharf beside the Wei River.

In fact, there is no work to carry. For example, today, the next division is three or four. There are chaos everywhere. The bigger merchants are not going out at home. There are only some small vendors who cannot stop their hands and feet are still running, but how can they work hard to carry the work?

Everyone is gathering on the dock now, but it is just a habit. In addition, they also want to get together to chat and complain.

These popular topics discussed by the Guanzhong peasants actually seem to be around the Central Plains and Hebei!

That's right, not only was the violent Zhou Dynasty enclosing land, but the Song Dynasty court that moved westward also issued the "Equal Field Order" in the winter of the sixth year of Xuanhe.

Of course, the content of "Yoda Ling" is also hated!

According to the provisions of the "Equal Field Order", the farmland in Guanzhong and Hanzhong prefectures and counties must be completely cleared first! A hidden field of one acre and one cent is never allowed to exist!

Moreover, the work of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang is no longer the local governments, but is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. The new armed military officers and soldiers will be responsible for clearing the fields.

After the clearing of the fields, all the land and acres in Guanzhong and Hanzhong will be linked to military service. The 200 acres of land are classified as a manor, and division and sale are strictly prohibited. The landlord's home that owns the manor must undertake the corresponding military service to provide a military soldier to the Western Song court.

If the landlord's house cannot leave the government, or can't issue valid land certificates or tax receipts, the land will be confiscated immediately and distributed to soldiers of the Republican Army. After obtaining the land, the soldier will also be recruited from recruiting soldiers to become soldiers. He needs to serve for life and be replaced by his father and son. If he is unable or unwilling to serve, the land will be taken back and redistributed. If the soldier is killed or disabled, the land can be owned by his heir until he is an adult. If his heir is unwilling to serve in adulthood, the land will be taken back.

In addition, officers, cavalry and non-commissioned officers of the Western Song New Army can also obtain different number of farms according to the size of their official positions.

Both cavalry and non-commissioned officers can get 3 farms, officers with ranks of platoon leaders can get 5 farms, officers with ranks of team (company) leaders can get 7 farms, officers with ranks of battalion commanders can get 9 farms, officers with ranks of brigade commanders can get 11 farms, officers with ranks of division commanders can get 13 farms, and officers with ranks of appeasement envoys can get 15 farms.

The standard for receiving the farmland is not their official rank, but their official rank. This is a similar rank to the Zhou army. It will eventually replace the military officer rank and become a symbol of the rank of the new army officers.

In addition to the three ranks of government soldiers, cavalry and non-commissioned officers, there is also a "deputy rank" under all the "main ranks", and the farms that can be collected are one less than the corresponding "main ranks".

In addition, having a certain position does not mean that one must hold an official position with the same name as the position.

Each farm will have 200 acres of arable land and 5 acres of residential land. Without counting the residential land, the division commander officers of the New Army of the Western Song Dynasty will be able to obtain 2,600 acres of land as their own field, and the highest level of comforting officers will be able to obtain 3,000 acres of farmland.

These fields granted to soldiers are of the nature of job land, so all taxes are exempted. Military families can also exempt taxes and corvee from the corresponding taxes and labor service according to their level.

Considering the output and rent collection of land in Guanzhong, the income of these farms is actually not quite generous... It just allows the officers and soldiers of the Western Song Dynasty to live a relatively wealthy life.

Most of the fields owned by an officer will be taken back after the officer's death. His heirs can only inherit the fields standard for non-commissioned officers (cavalry) and will also have to bear the corresponding military service.

In short, in the future, the land in Guanzhong and Hanzhong (about 50 million mu) must be linked to military service.

After obtaining the land, all new military officers and soldiers will no longer be able to receive military salary and salary, and will also have to bear the expenses required to purchase some of the equipment and war horses.

However, their military merits can also be used in exchange for rewards or promotions. If they get rewards, they can get a bounty, and if they get promotions, they can get a farm.

By the way, the so-called bounty is not gold, silver or copper coins, but Shu brocade!

The Western Song Dynasty court did not grab the gold and silver from the Song Dynasty banks, and the number of copper coins they brought to Guanzhong was not large. Sichuan, under the control of the Western Song Dynasty court, has always been a place of "short of money", and had used iron coins for more than a hundred years before Ji Yi's reform.

So the officials and soldiers of the retro party simply came to "use brocade instead of money", which actually suppressed commercial activities by reducing the effect of currency...

The future Western Song Dynasty will "do not need money" and do not need developed industry and commerce. Of course, I will not have any choice if I want it!

Since you can't do it, then just don't want it, follow the Qin system and promote farming wars.

And the Qin system is of course a harsh rule!

Compared with the "merchant harsh policies" promoted by the Great Zhou Republic, I don't know how much vicious it is.

In essence, the harsh politics of Zhou State was still the cunning politics of the bourgeoisie. It was necessary to protect private legal property, and it was necessary to talk about bourgeois legal rights.

Therefore, the government must carefully design a trap, and it cannot prevent civilians from going to Tianjin to petition. Of course, it is useless. The Senate does not need the votes of civilians. The Senate represents the interests of citizens.

But petitioning and protesting is the right of civilians, so Wu Yijiu can only endure it...

But the Western Song Dynasty was completely deprived of it!

Whether there are legal land deeds and tax receipts or not, private land will become a land estate! If you own land deeds and tax receipts, the original land owner could retain the right to use the land by joining the army, but in fact the ownership was confiscated.

As soon as such a harsh policy was released, there were naturally many simple Guanzhong men fighting, and the result was self-evident...

The farmers from Dawei Village mentioned a failed fight that happened around them.

"I really didn't expect that Wang Xiucai, a scholar, also had such martial arts skills. He cut down three officers and soldiers with one knife!"

"So what? Have you been shot by a hidden arrow? Now I am locked in the Xianyang prison and convicted of treason. I will be beheaded in a few days."

"Oh, what a good person Wang Xiucai is, why is he going to be executed? Why doesn't the official family know how good or bad it is?"

"Good or bad? Huh, if you know how good or bad, can you still get the East Pirate to Guanzhong?"

"Don't say this nonsense. If you ask someone to report it to the official, maybe you will be a thief!"

The farmers looked around and suddenly found a middle-aged man dressed in a merchant standing in front of them, followed by a few quite strong guards, who seemed to have just gotten off the boat.

There are few big merchants on the Wei River now! These are really businessmen? Could it be the spies in the spies in the spies in the spies room of the Privy Council?

The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the frightened farmers, but smiled gently and bowed, "I came from Yongzhou below. I want to sell it in Xianyang with some goods. Can you help me pick it? The price is easy to say."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The farmer listened to his Xiangyin and felt a little relieved, and was unwilling to give up the opportunity to get some money.

The "goods" brought by this merchant were actually books! There were dozens of boxes in a row, and I don't know who to sell them to in this chaos?

However, when the farmers saw these books, they felt even more at ease that the spies from the spies in the spies room of the Privy Council would not have taken dozens of boxes to handle the case.

"Brother-in-law, who is Wang Xiucai you just mentioned? Why did he treason?" The merchants and farmers walked forward, and were still talking to one of the elderly farmers in a friendly manner. As they were talking, they suddenly turned the topic to Liu Xiucai who was about to cut off his head.

"It's not for the "Junior Land Order"..." The old farmer was also a fool. He didn't pay attention to the eyes of the farmers who were on the left and right. He just said casually, "His family is a landlord from Dawei Village, with 3,44 acres of land, but the population is small. The males in the family are Wang Xiucai and his son Wang Zhongfu... One is in his forties and the other is only thirteen years old, and he can't be a soldier in the palace!

Moreover, both father and son are scholars. Wang Xiucai has also taken the exam several times. Although he has not, he is a scholar after all. He is also a little famous in Xianyang City and has known many gentry friends. How could he be bullied by a group of soldiers a few years ago? Alas, it's so declining!"

The merchant sighed: "I originally thought that only Zhou Guosiwen was sweeping the floor, but I didn't expect that the same was true in Guanzhong... I really didn't expect it!"

This merchant was not someone else, but Chen Go, who had abandoned his official position. He originally wanted to go to Xiangyang Prefecture first, but when he thought that Zhao Huan was the orthodox, he pretended to be a bookseller and entered the pass, wanting to find an acquaintance to recommend him to the officialdom.

However, after entering the pass, Chen Gou found that the Western Song Dynasty was also depriving the land of the landlord class like Xin Zhou! Moreover, the methods were even more fierce. At least, Xin Zhou protested casually. As long as there was no armed uprising, the Zhou army would not suppress it bloodily.

In addition, the Zhou State recognized the legitimate rights and interests of private land! The landlord did not have a land deed and did not pay taxes. How could he prove that the land was his? It is also necessary to be confiscated... Moreover, a considerable number of the land confiscated by the Zhou State were really "ownerless". The owners were either run away noble bureaucrats, or simply the official fields of the Song Dynasty, the imperial villages of the Zhao family, the temple fields of the temples, the school fields of the academy, etc.

Guanzhong did not experience war, nor did it have so many official fields, temple fields, school fields, imperial villages, and even the great bureaucrats and nobles. Almost all the private fields were private fields. They were confiscated indiscriminately. They were simply robbers!

The Eastern thief was a thief, and the Western Song Dynasty seemed to have become a thief! And it was even better than the Eastern thief... It was no longer a harsh rule, but a tyranny!

Chen Gou sighed: "It seems that there is no business to do in Guanzhong... By the way, the child named Wang Zhongfu was not captured by the government, right?"

"not yet……"

Chen Gou said: "Since I'm lucky, I'll save him and let him follow me to Jinghu. Maybe Jinghu will be better, Jinghu is the best world after all."
