Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The cold moon was pale and illuminated the land of Yizhou, and the north wind was whistling, beating against Liu Chan's camp tent. Outside the tent were several guards wrapped in cotton clothes and holding halberds.

Unlike the whistling of the north wind outside the tent, the inside of the tent was very quiet. A bonfire was lit in a fire pond in the center of the tent, and the swaying flames warmed the entire tent.

Under the orange lamp, Liu Chan was wearing a blanket on his shoulders, holding a pen in the book, raising his head from time to time to think, his eyes were deep and sharp, as if he was thinking about some important issue.Thinking of the key points, I wrote the following and wrote about the policy issues that I have been thinking about in recent months.

In particular, in the past two days, I asked about what Ma Bao, the chief of Baishui Pavilion, and Li Tie, a farmer, saw and heard, which gave Liu Chan a great inspiration.

Ma Bao, the head of Baishui Pavilion, can be regarded as a small landlord under the rule of the Han Dynasty. He has servants and cattle in his family, and he has a lot of fields to cultivate.

This kind of small landlord, after several generations of development, can become a medium landlord in Hande County by continuously annexing land and seeking to improve his status. If he can get the inheritance of books, he is very likely to become a common surname in Hande County.

As far as farmer Li Tie is concerned, the big man is basically an ordinary citizen. There are not many acres in his family, and at the same time he has to bear a lot of corvee work. However, this kind of people are the cornerstone of the big man, and they are the ones that the big man needs to protect most.

As ordinary people, Li Tie's family will basically not be able to rise if they cannot seize the dividends of the times or policies.For example, a carpenter farmer can become a small and wealthy family by making new farm tools; or many peddlers who sold cakes in the Eastern Han Dynasty took advantage of the common people's love of eating rice cakes and became a rich man.

The big man needs to restrain similar small landlords like Ma Bao from continuing to annex land, and at the same time provide them with a channel to rise.

The key point is to at least protect Li Tie from going bankrupt, because once he goes bankrupt, it means that Li Tie's family will become a refugee, and will be classified as a tenant under a big family, or sold into a big family, and such results will often backfire. To the big man himself.

The Dahan must first formulate a land system to protect the ordinary people of the Dahan, but Liu Chan has thought about this land system.

Just like what Liu Chan said to Dong Yun and the others after meeting Li Tie, the civilian husband, the amount of acres of land for common people should be limited, and people who do not reach the prescribed quota of private land should not be allowed to sell their land as much as possible. Even if they sell land, they can only sell a small amount of land. Urgent.And those who exceed the quota of enough acres are completely allowed to sell their fields.

Among them, the most important thing is to distribute the land to the people according to the amount, pass on the sons after death, and take them back if there are no sons.

Therefore, after Liu Chan thought about it, he undoubtedly found the land system most similar to this, because it was the circulation relationship of the land equalization system implemented in the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The essence of the land equalization system is that the state grants farmland to the people, but it is only a famous land system without a detailed transfer relationship, and what the Dahan needs is the transfer relationship of the land equalization system.

The land equalization system grants people a certain amount of land, which is further divided into private land (Yongye Tian, ​​Sang Tian) and public land (Lu Tian, ​​Bei Tian).

The transfer relationship is not complicated. After the death of the people, the public land is recovered, the private land is inherited, and the descendants have priority in inheriting.After the man becomes a man, he will first grant his father's private land to you, and if it is not enough, the local government will grant the land to the father and son according to the specific situation.If the father dies, the public land will be given priority to the son to complete a cycle.

Therefore, if your father is a powerful man, the private land under your father's name will be directly assigned to your name as your field, and the country will no longer divide your land, and the land will be inherited and digested by your internal heirs after several generations.

Liu Chan put pen to paper, looked at the manuscript he wrote for the first time, and read the letter that Zhuge Liang had just sent. It explained his main ideas, and the core of it was that the land was limited by the official title, and the land was provided according to the official title. Occupation amount, offenders will not be paid to the county.

Liu Chan took a sip of tea, looked at what he had written, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Zhuge Liang's proposal to limit the land for officials and titles, coupled with the transfer relationship of the land equalization system, will be able to restrain the mergers of the strong and powerful to the greatest extent.

For example, Ma Bao, the head of the Baishui Pavilion, has 300 mu of fertile land, which is already beyond the limit of ordinary people, but just stuck in the limit of the head of the pavilion.If his son does not become the head of Baishui Pavilion, he will return to the quota of land limited by the common people. Once the Ma Bao family does not become an official and the quota of acre does not increase, they will not be able to get new land, and all land will be digested internally.

This is like an order of grace, unless Ma Bao is a ruthless person who will always be a single child, and this child will never die early, then there is no way.Therefore, this system will not cause a powerful reaction, at most a few comments, after all, it does not directly deprive you of your land, but only restricts you from continuing to merge.

Moreover, through the state granting land and the transfer relationship, it will be possible to ensure that a large number of farmers have land to plant at a minimum, and if they sell the land, they can only sell their own private land.

This field-acre process relationship cooperates with the Dahan's implementation of the land restriction system, which will limit the merger of the powerful to the greatest extent, and the biggest bug is the common people.The more people there are, the fewer acres the world can share. If you want to fix this bug, you may have to fight outside to get new acres to alleviate this problem.

For an agricultural society, it would be a good way to reclaim new territory, but the overly large territory might be another problem.

Liu Chan put down the teacup, looked at the freshly baked first draft of the field system, and couldn't help pondering. He always felt that there were still some shortcomings, but he couldn't find it.

"Come here, order Dong Shizhong!"

Liu Chan didn't think too much, one person was short of wit, and the other two were wise, so it was most appropriate for him to be assisted by a capable political minister.

Not long after, Dong Yun breathed out air-conditioning, walked into the tent, and saluted Liu Chan.

Liu Chan was not polite, and directly motioned Dong Yun to sit down, and handed over the first draft of the field system to Dong Yun for him to read.Liu Chan continued to look at other battle reports sent by Zhuge Liang.

After a while, Dong Yun put down the first draft, although his face was pensive, but his joy could not be suppressed.

Liu Chan closed Zhuge Liang's battle report and asked: "Although I made the first draft of this field system, there are still some shortcomings. I wonder what Xiong Zhao thinks?"

Hearing this, Dong Yun took a few glances at the draft, pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, there are many slaves in the Han Dynasty, what does Your Majesty think?"

"En!" Liu Chan woke up suddenly, and almost forgot about the servant.The Han Dynasty was close to the western frontier, and there were many Hu and Qiang people. Most of the Han people had Hu Yi as their servants. Not to mention that in Han Dynasty, Chengdu was the national slave trade market.

Although Liu Chan did not know the specific number of slaves in the Han Dynasty, he was sure that there were no less than 200,000 slaves in the Han Dynasty, and they existed in various forms.

Dong Yun looked at Liu Chan cupping his hands, and persuaded, "I report to Your Majesty, if you don't follow the example of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty to release the servants, I, a big man, can fill the population of Lianglong."

Liu Chan frowned slightly, the release of the servants would inevitably further affect the interests of the Yizhou nobles and tyrants.After pondering for a while, Liu Chan said, "Don't worry! We'll discuss this matter after the Prime Minister returns to his teacher. Besides, the land system is an initial system, and it still needs to be polished to make up for the loopholes."

"promise!"
