"Not bad, Anmin"
"The army is sent to the people, and it is also stopped by the people"
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it"
"If the people live and work in peace and contentment, the world will be peaceful; if the people are unable to make a living, the world will be in chaos."
From ancient times to the present, there are countless such examples.
In an era when people are in dire straits, someone must stand up and overthrow this unfair rule.
In later generations, the Tang Dynasty is the most glorious and far-reaching dynasty in history.
The decline of the Tang Dynasty and There were many reasons for the downfall of the Tang Dynasty. The secession of Panzhen and the Anshi Rebellion were the main factors that severely damaged the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the most direct cause of the downfall of the Tang Dynasty was the Huangchao Uprising.
It can be said that the Huangchao Uprising was the crushing The last straw of the Tang Dynasty.
One year before Wang Xianzhi's uprising, a severe drought occurred in the Guandong region. Officials forced the people to pay rent and taxes and serve as servants. The people were desperate and gathered around Huangchao and had many armed conflicts with the imperial officials.
15 Huang Chao, his nephews Huang Kui and Huang Enye and other eight people raised troops to respond to Wang Xianzhi.
Due to the severe drought, the court did not act, and the officials forced the people to rebel, which directly led to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty.
In the late Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River overflowed.
Officials at all levels had various plans for disaster relief funds. As a result, there was not much left.
The government not only plundered all the food and food available to the people along the river, but also rushed everyone, old and young, to the construction site.
In this way,"One eye of a stone man can incite rebellion in the world" As soon as the warning signs came out, peasant rebels from all over the country swarmed up, and the Yuan Empire was doomed from then on.
This was also because the people were forced by the court to survive.
The same was true in the late Ming Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty.
At the beginning of the collapse of a dynasty, people often There are peasant uprisings happening in various places.
Even if the peasant uprisings are suppressed, it is like a gust of wind that has blown the banner of rebellion by various vassals and princes.
"Anmin......Anmin......Without people, there are no soldiers. Without soldiers, there are no weapons. Without weapons, there are no soldiers.......That is peace in the world."
Ying Zheng suddenly understood and stood up from his seat suddenly.
He looked at Li Mo with bright eyes:"Sir, do you have a way to calm the people?"
No wonder Li Mo asked Han Fei to come over!
Han Fei is responsible for compiling the legal system. He was called here to let him implement the policy of reassuring the people that Li Mo said.
Under Ying Zheng's questioning and the urging of Han Fei's eyes , Li Mo explained his thoughts.
During the Autumn and Warring States Period, the land system of the Western Zhou Dynasty was originally continued.
That is, the well field system.
At that time, there were public land and private land. Private land was reclaimed by oneself.
And reclaimed land The private fields of the country are not included in the scope of taxation.
Therefore, slave owners and nobles actively cultivated private fields.
There is a scene where"the people are unwilling to do their best" on public fields.
One has to pay taxes, and the other does not need to pay taxes. Everyone knows what to choose..
As a result, there were more and more private fields, and gradually no one cultivated the public fields.
In order to increase land tax revenue, the vassal states had to break the distinction between public fields and private fields, and then tax them uniformly.
First, the State of Lu promulgated" The"First Tax on Mu" decree announced that both public and private fields would be taxed on a per mu basis.
Then, Shang Yang carried out reforms in the Qin State and legally established the private ownership of feudal land.
He proposed"Abandon the well fields and open the streets.""Allow people to open up wasteland
《"Warring States Policy" said that Shang Yang"broke Qianmo and taught the people to farm and fight."
The so-called"Qian Mo" refers to the irrigation canal in the middle of the"well field" and the corresponding vertical and horizontal roads. The vertical ones are called"Qian" and the horizontal ones are called"Mo".
The Kaiqianmo border system obviously has more advantages than the well-field system and is more popular among the people.
After Shang Yang's reform, Qin's national power experienced a qualitative change, and it became the first of the Seven Kingdoms.
Only then can we annex the six countries
"Sir, what you mean is, farming for the people?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng said with a queasy expression.
It sounds simple to let the people have land.
But the fundamental problem is that the land is not in the hands of the people. It is not in his hands.
It is in the hands of the clan gentry!
Li Mo said:"Yes, and the first step we have to do is to take back the land ownership"
"Within Liuhe, the emperor’s land. It wades through the quicksand in the west and ends in the north in the south. There is the East China Sea to the east and Daxia to the north. Wherever people go, there is no one who is not loyal to him."
To do this is to make it clear that the land belongs to the state.
Farmers and noble landowners only have the right to use and occupy the land.
They can own it, but they cannot buy or sell it.
In this way, Ying Zheng became the largest landowner.
As for the Queen Mother,......That is the biggest landowner mother!
Ying Zheng pondered:"Recovering the land and then allocating it is indeed a way, but the problem is, even if the land is allocated, how can we ensure that the people's lives will be changed?" The economy of the ancient imperial court mainly came from taxation!
No matter what industry you are in, whether you work or not, you still have to pay taxes. 793 This is the so-called"poll tax""![]
Although the term"head tax" came from the Western Han Dynasty, the"head tax" had already begun to sprout as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty.
By the time Ying Zheng was around, taxation was as fierce as a tiger.
But it has to be collected.
Without collecting taxes, where would the country have money?
How can we build and develop without money?
How to quell the intrusion of surrounding barbarians?
For the common people, this"poll tax" is also a huge pressure.
From the age of fifteen to the age of fifty or sixty.
One hundred and twenty coins are paid annually, and two hundred and forty coins for merchants and slaves.
A person like Li Mo has a big business, so he doesn't care about this little money.
But not those ordinary people.
If we want the world to be stable, we need to reduce taxes and relieve pressure on them.
Ying Zheng was immediately in trouble.
He understood what Li Mo meant.
But if taxes are not collected, there will be problems with the national finances.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Mo thoughtfully:"If there is any way to alleviate the pressure on the people without affecting tax collection,......That's good"
