Nowadays, it's no secret that youwo martial arts people join the regular army (standing army). Even small soldiers get their hands on a hundred mu of land. They do meritorious deeds on the battlefield and are never stingy with rewards, not to mention the promotion of social status and many preferential treatment of family members in the countryside.
"The son of the third aunt of my eldest brother's second brother's brother-in-law. When he enters the Zhengjun to grant land, his relatives are called military dependents. The government comes to the door to express condolences on the difficulty every year."
"My second uncle's third brother-in-law's fourth aunt's son. He has won six slaves and maidservants for his meritorious service on the battlefield. He drives farming for hundreds of mu. He can go for cattle and horses at ordinary times."
The so-called ox and horse walking is a name that existed in the Western Han Dynasty. Originally, it refers to a person who is more senior than the eagle dog running dog under a noble man's door. Later, it evolved into a servant for whom to serve. Slaves are not just women, but male and female slaves.
People who are talking, they work hard to dig the soil, wave hoes, and talk to people around them at the same time. They come from all over the world and become a labor group with their hometown. The group leader is generally the stingy husband, Youjiao and pavilion head in the village, and up to the people in the county.
Most of Xiaomin's small talk is about comparison. Whoever has a good life and who has a talented person can talk for a long time. Usually, most of them come from hearsay, so they have the reason to hear from which uncle and aunt.
Now it's not complicated to see who's doing well. What can best reflect is getting the title.
There are too many people who have nothing. After they get the title, their houses are wholly-owned by the government. Under their names, they also have land to inherit their families and slaves who can be sent at will.
People will look forward to a better life and want to get a title? Living in the Han Dynasty, the most convenient way to change your life path is to join the army. After registration, there will be many beneficial benefits, not to mention. Military families can really get a lot of preferential treatment in the countryside.
It was a new policy six years after Yuan Shuo that a hundred mu of land could be obtained by joining the army. Originally, it was only ten mu of land. Later, didn't the territory of the Han state be expanded again and again? Many retired officers and men are arranged in areas with a wide range of people and land, and the center will increase the number of ten Mu to 100 mu.
There is also a new policy, which is willing to move to the new territory, and the government is also willing to increase the number of acres. The farther away from the Han mainland, the more favorable the policy will be.
"There are also gifts every year. For example, my second uncle's third brother-in-law's fourth aunt's family was assigned an ox leg at the last winter solstice. It's a big ox leg!"
The corbel is just a reflection. More often, the military family can get a wide variety of condolences. They directly send money or give cloth the most times, but they all like cloth.
"Haoerlang's family deserves preferential treatment. Whoever refuses to accept it is unable to get along with everyone!"
"Yes! Yes!"
After the rampant chaos of the hooligans, the contemporary people have an obsession with the mastery of force. They firmly believe that the Han people should have their own strong armed forces, and it is absolutely impossible for the hooligans to invade without resistance.
Contemporary soldiers have indeed been spilling blood on the battlefield. Bloody battles again and again have finally eliminated and expelled the Hu prisoners who bullied the Han people. For most people, it is a good society without Hu prisoners on their heads. For this reason, many people are willing to give everything.
"I thought, waiting for the end of this corvee, the next corvee I should become a county soldier."
"What's the use? Can I go to ah San?"
"If I don't go to ah San, I also have a chance to go to the grassland and the northeast."
"Don't fight a big war! Becoming a county soldier can only be a local soldier."
In fact, I say so much in order to change my life trajectory. Among them, I have the greatest desire for land. However, in the Han country, no matter how rich I am, I can't get land. I can only get the reward of land by going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and doing meritorious deeds.
Based on the foundation of the 20th rank, and the fact that the Qin Empire once fell into the embarrassing situation of military merit without reward, the Han state's control over land is definitely the strongest in all dynasties.
Three years after Yuanshuo, the state has been engaged in land redemption. Whether it is a Haozu or an aristocratic family, one is measured under the supervision of the sword. Based on the actual head of the family, 200 mu of land per person will be redeemed by the state.
In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the Han army attacked and destroyed the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the South also measured the land. There were tens of thousands of hectares of land, even if there were more than 2000 mu left.
In the eighth year of Yuanshuo, there was no non military family holding more than 10000 mu of land in the Han country.
Liu Yan did so with the full support of the military. After all, the military is the group most likely to be rewarded for merit. The rest of the class dare not speak even if they oppose it. No one wants to be targeted by the military. Huanwen in the South who wants to oppose it most has repeatedly raised his butcher's knife and slashed it.
The amount of land under the family name is directly linked to the reward for merit, which is also fully accepted by the group united around Liu Yan. They themselves are members of interest groups. The policy of reward for merit is naturally beneficial to them. Only those excluded from the group should howl.
Whether the latter sang Yu is really targeting ran min or anyone, anyway, he has done a good thing for most people, that is, soldiers recruited into counties and counties can also get land rewards. Although the number of land per mu is not comparable to that of the standing army, most people at least have a legal channel to obtain land.
At present, apart from the land obtained due to military service, it can only be leased from the government. The land cultivated by the vast majority of people comes from leasing, and there is no land under their own name at all.
Controlling land ownership is Liu Yan's proposition. The reason is to encourage the Han people to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. In short, it is a policy set for building the army, one country, one Lord and one righteousness. In many cases, policies need to make concessions for the current situation. For example, even county soldiers can obtain land.
Liu Yan was not unaware of people's desire for land. On the one hand, he needed to maintain the foundation of the 20th rank Baron system, which was to ensure the army's strong belligerence; On the other hand, what he did was to force powerful, aristocratic families and other capable groups to find another way out, such as turning their eyes to industry and commerce.
The ancients have long had the consciousness of "instability without agriculture, wealth without work, and life without business", but "agriculture" is still better, "work" and "business" have always been despised.
The state of Han did not allow them to acquire land without merit. Haozu or aristocratic families did not dare to stretch out their hands on the land, but their pursuit of wealth could not stop. Without Liu Yan's reminding, they looked at workshops and businesses.
Four years after Yuan Shuo, various workshops in the North emerged one after another, which was an effect after the lack of access to land. The state was forcing powerful families to find another way out and got the result Liu Yan wanted.
The state controls the land. People without their own land can only work in addition to renting from the government. The farming season is concentrated in spring farming and autumn harvest. The other two seasons are not idle squatting on the threshold to catch lice. You can work to make money.
The development of "workers" will drive the society forward. If they want to increase their profits, they need to study how to reduce costs and accept goods at the same time, which is not only a process of improving productivity, but also the basis of scientific and technological progress.
When there are commercial goods, someone has to purchase them. Businessmen are a group responsible for purchasing commercial goods for sub-sale. Both "workers" and "businessmen" have made profits because of their labor, and the state has also obtained taxes.
In fact, the Han state was only short of food, not money, because too many families were forced to turn to "workers" and "merchants". At one time, some officials thought it was very bad, because "workers" and "merchants" occupied too many manpower, resulting in food shortage. In this way, the officials basically went home to eat themselves. It was not Liu Yan who did it. It was Xu Zheng, a Taiwei, and Cai you, who was in charge of millet internal history, who joined forces to make efforts.
The military accepts the rise of "industry" because, of course, industrial development is beneficial to the military. At the same time, it can't stand anyone pointing fingers at land distribution.
Cai you's reaction will be so fierce. The two groups of "workers" and "businessmen" are constantly contributing small money. Whoever hinders the part of the internal history of controlling millet from getting small money is their great enemy.
"Boulders and giant trees are transported by galloping roads." Cai you is now at the construction site of new Chang'an. He is very proud to introduce Liu Yan in plain clothes: "Chi Dao is made by the rise of 'work' and great talents imitating the Pre-Qin Dynasty."
Chidao in the pre Qin Dynasty is an ancient version of a rail road. The road is paved with wood tracks and specially made wheels. Horses pull special cars to gallop on the chidao, which can be thousands of miles away in a day.
The Han state is building two national highways, including Chi Road, which is far more difficult than ordinary roads, and the project is the last.
The construction of chidao was designed by Liu Yan himself, but the samples were drawn according to the modern railway, but the materials were changed into wood products. Now he heard that someone had seen the classics of chidao in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. He was surprised and confused at the same time.
Cai you had to advocate for the development of "industry", just as the military had to advocate war. He still boasts that the annual tax amount is there, which also reduces the contradiction caused by people's small land holdings. After all, working is also one of the ways to support the family.
Of course, Liu Yan knows the Chi Road, and also knows that the Chi road from new Chang'an to Qinling is more than 70 Li long. The main reason for building this Chi road is that there is no lack of giant trees in the construction of the palace que.
"Great talent?" Liu Yan was interested: "summon me to meet you."
Cai you mentioned the stubble, which was obviously prepared in advance. He turned around and gave orders to his entourage, and soon the man was brought up.
The visitor was an official wearing a waiter's official uniform. Because people now look older, they can't judge their age from their appearance. Cai you introduced his name, age and origin, which really surprised Liu Yan.
"Minister Ma Zihuan, meet the king!" Ma Zihuan, who was born in Qiang nationality, is a Han in terms of dress, speech and behavior. His background is not small. He has designed and built palaces in Xiangguo and Yecheng for Shi Hu.
Liu Yan looks at whether he is a Han, what he sees is the recognition of Han thought and culture, not blood. He believes that as long as he speaks the Han language and demands himself with the Han etiquette, his thought is also rooted in the Han family, that is, a Han person.
Of course, whether the Han people also depends on their appearance. At least they can't have much difference from the Han people in appearance, especially in skin and hair color. This is also the lingering hatred of the Han people after experiencing the suffering of the white skin family.
Liu Yan was never stingy with capable people. After a burst of encouragement, he asked curiously, "where can you see Chi Tao?"
How dare Ma Zihuan hide a trace? It is said that Yao Yizhong came across it from Yao Yizhong's family library. It is also said that Yao Yizhong asked Shi Hu for the books recording Chi Dao. I don't know where Shi Hu came from.
The Sima family came to a "land of China" in the ruling stage. The capital Luoyang was broken by Liu Yuan of the Huns, the emperor was caught to pour the toilet, and the treasure house also fell into the hands of the Huns. The southern Huns used to be two hundred or three hundred years old dogs. They knew more about the importance of advanced civilization than the rest of the ignorant people. At least they knew that books and books had to be grabbed and moved to Changan.
Later, the Jie nationality defeated the Huns and became the new ruling race in the Central Plains. As the former slave race of the Huns, the Jie nationality is a barbarian in the real sense. They don't know the importance of the heritage of Han civilization as well as the southern Huns. Fortunately, the Qiang nationality knows more or less, and the Qiang nationality has received a considerable number of ancient books of Han civilization.
The Han state ruled by Liu Yan killed many aristocratic families and copied countless classics. Those were brought to the South after China's land subsidence.
Generally speaking, the sinking of the land of China dealt a great blow to the civilization of Zhuxia. Not only the destruction of the Han people from the body to the spirit, but also the loss of a considerable number of ancient books and records. Many ancient crafts were also destroyed by the barbarians.
Ma Zihuan saw "Tianyan" and was encouraged by Yan huanse for a while. She was very excited to leave. She walked a long way before she came back to her senses. She seemed to forget some of CAI you's explanations?
Cai you did this. First, Ma Zihuan is really capable. The most important thing is that Liu Yan is looking for a "beauty" and plans to pull out Ma Zihuan, a representative figure, to warm up. However, Ma Zihuan seemed to forget his business and was so angry that his liver hurt.
Legalists can govern the world, Huang Lao can govern the world, and Confucianism can dominate the world. Cai you doesn't think Mohism can revive, but the power of "work" can preach, at least to occupy a place in the world of the king looking for "beauty". He wanted to remedy it, but he saw that Liu Yan was stunned at the scene of working and couldn't open that mouth for a time.
"I feel this." Liu Yan doesn't want to talk about the hardship of prospering the people and killing the people. Corvee is a responsibility and obligation, and it's not that he didn't give wages. He saw people singing and laughing while working in more than one place, and a simple smile appeared on his face: "in the year of great disaster, it is a good government of the country to promote work for relief."
Of course, Liu Yan will definitely ignore other scenes, such as slaves wailing under the supervisor's whip
