The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 1379 What is treating both symptoms and root causes?

"Your Majesty is wise! Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!" Zhang Wanhai said with more than 20 farmers kneeling down.

Next, Gao Shuang, King Zhao, and Li Yuanhao had an urgent discussion in Prince Zhao's big study, no, Zhao Feixue also came, and the four of them held a special meeting here.

"Is this land enfeoffment system going to be abolished? But this abolition will definitely affect the interests of the big landlords and nobles? What should I do?" Li Yuanhao said in distress.

"Abolish the landlord's right to own a large amount of land, and abolish the land hereditary system! Take back all the land from the landlord! Then, the state will transfer it to the peasants. This is the real land equalization system!"

Gao Shuang expressed his opinion straightforwardly.

"But now 90.00% of the land in the Jingtian Dynasty is controlled by landlords. If it is implemented on a large scale, it will inevitably cause a group of landlords to attack!" Li Yuanhao said with some fear.

"Your Majesty! My concubine thinks that our Bao'an County can be used as a pilot for promotion!" Zhao Feixue had an idea, and interjected.

"Oh?! Tell me quickly!" Li Yuanhao said to Zhao Feixue.

Zhao Feixue then expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Feixue's reform ideas are as follows:
It is suggested that King Zhaojun return 90.00% of the land he has allocated to the emperor, and then let the emperor directly allocate the land, strictly in accordance with the land equalization system, to ensure that each farmer has his own land.

King Zhaojun was a little displeased. After all, this was all entrusted by the first emperor, but Li Yuanhao said:

"My father-in-law! Your loss will be made up by the court! In the future, you will get a certain percentage of the land tax and rent from the farmers, how about it?"

Zhao Junwang was not happy in his heart, the land bestowed by the first emperor was gone all of a sudden, but the emperor and his daughter were determined to reform, and the emperor's kindness was great.

Think about it, as the head of the country, I must set an example and support the emperor, so I nodded in agreement.

At this time, Li Yuanhao, Zhao Junwang, and Zhao Feixue turned their attention to Gao Shuang and asked for Gao Shuang's opinion.

Gao Shuang shook his head and said, "This kind of reform! It's a temporary solution, not a root cause! In the end, we still have to compromise with the landlord class, so let's do it! If you all listen to me, I will only say a few words that touch people's hearts:
Announce that all land is nationalized, and the state has the ownership and distribution rights of all land!Every farmer owns the land allocated by the state. Farmers use the land of the state and pay a certain amount of agricultural tax directly to the state.

In this way, the country and farmers benefit from each other!Achieved a thorough reform, the effect of benefiting the country and the people! "

Gao Shuang also said that reform should be decisive and must not be vague, otherwise, it will only delay good opportunities.

Although Zhaojun Wang still couldn't bear to lose his land like this, he felt that Gao Shuang's words were reasonable, so he thought for a while, and said directly to the emperor:

"I am willing to hand over all the land that has been enfeoffed to the state! The state will redistribute the land to ensure that every farmer in the entire Bao'an County can get the land! Let the land equalization system truly benefit the people!"

"Okay! Father-in-law! You can make up your mind! Congratulations! I will reward you very much!"

After Li Yuanhao finished speaking, he signaled Eunuch An beside him to write down the merits of King Zhaojun in the credit book.
