The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

Hearing this, Yang Guang's eyes flashed without a trace, and Wang Anshi on the other side was completely stunned. has the heart to reform and change the law for the country, how can he not know Yang Guang's ambition and hegemony, even if he really didn't know it before, when he was canonized as an internal auxiliary minister in the court, it should be clear.

It's just that although his own method has many flaws, it can still be strong and the Sui Dynasty is strong.

When the Great Sui was strong, it was natural to be able to travel the world, why did Zhang Juzheng say that it was far from enough?

"Zhang Juzheng, what do you think?"

Zhang Juzheng's answer was most appreciated by Yang Guang, but after all, this is a handwritten book, and some things cannot be written out and put into practice, Yang Guang wanted to hear the real thoughts in his heart, so he asked.

"The minister thought that the following three points could make the Great Sui invincible, first, spread the land into the mu, second, the fire consumption returned to the public, and third, the gentry paid the grain as an errand. "

Seeing Yang Guang's inquiry, Zhang Juzheng did not hide it and immediately answered.

"Now, aren't you going to fight against those wealthy gentry?"

Wang Anshi was taken aback and couldn't help but speak.

On the opposite side, four words appeared in Yang Guang's heart: 'Yongzheng New Deal'.

Originally, the dynasty of the Great Sui at this time, in addition to the treasury, five surnames and seven wangs, was the power system of the wealthy families in the major cities, counties and towns, as well as the gentry who had made a name for themselves in the past.

First of all, for example, the emperor issued a tax order, and the officials received the orders and issued orders to the magistrates layer by layer. The magistrate could not directly inform the people, but had to inform and consult with the local gentry first, and then the wealthy gentry would gradually issue the official list to the people under their banner.

Where taxes have been raised, where have they been reduced, tenants have been exempted from taxes and vehicles in the event of a catastrophe this year, and the country has to increase its war preparedness.

According to Zhang Juzheng, that is, the rights of the gentry and wealthy families will be deprived, so that they will also become one of the people, and they need to pay food and errands.

This is fundamentally more direct than suppressing the five surnames and seven wangs, that is, except for the emperor, officials, and others are all regarded as people, and there is no other hierarchy. Of course, the five surnames and seven wangs do not have the so-called aristocratic status, and they do not exist at all.

Then the fire consumption is returned to the public, and copper coins, broken silver, and silver ingots are circulated in the market. Silver ingots can be opened and turned into broken silver, and naturally broken silver will also need to be forged into whole silver ingots and stored in the treasury.

This is to turn the pieces into a whole, but the amount of broken silver of this ingot is impossible to create a silver ingot of two amounts, which has loss, that is, the forging fire consumption, sometimes it takes one or two dollars, sometimes it takes one or two or three dollars, in order to create one or two whole silver. At this time, this money, three coins, became a fire consumption, and it was spread out on the heads of the people.

And the fire consumption is uncertain, how much or less, and the local officials in charge of jurisdiction will turn empty on it, Lou money.

If there are many people, the people will suffer a great sin. Sometimes it costs a tael of silver to forge it, and it even costs one or a half of silver to make it. Everyone knows that the officials eat fire, but there is no way. Because wear and tear is necessary, otherwise it can't be done. And the loss cannot be spread in the state, once this is done, the local officials are greedy for the treasury money, and the loss is still there, and what is lost is Yang Guang's silver.

And Zhang Juzheng returned to the public with fire consumption, obviously letting these fires consume silver, all of which were handed over, and local officials were not allowed to be greedy for ink, many local officials were actually unable to make ends meet many times, and these fire consumption sometimes had to be used as government use, so it would be difficult for local officials to maintain.

As for the apportionment into the mu, this is easy to understand, that is, the land is calculated according to the capitation and distributed equally, whether it is a wealthy gentry or a poor man, there is land to plant. But it's easy to say, but it's still very difficult to do it, for example, the land has size, good and bad, and it's not so easy to be average at this time.

In case of injustice, it will still cause social conflicts.

"Wang Anshi's change can make the Great Sui rich and strong, but if these local gentry and wealthy families still hold power, the Hanmen will never be able to rise, then the Great Sui will not be able to dominate the world. Only by eliminating these privileged classes and achieving equality under the officials can His Majesty be proud of the crowd and the hearts of the people will be one. "

Zhang Juzheng made a summary, which was his initial idea.

"These three steps are just the beginning, Your Majesty should also nationalize all the land in the world, not to buy and sell privately, but to rent. The common people also leased the land of the country to cultivate, and they could completely stop the resurgence of these squires and wealthy families. "

After a pause, Zhang Juzheng immediately said.

Yang Guang was shocked when he heard this: Isn't this the state ownership of land? The land of the entire country is nationalized, and individuals have no right to own land, so they can only lease it. That is, there is no landlord, so you can only rent other people's land to plant if you have the ability, and you have to pay rent to the allocated heads.

And in this way, the common people have a variety of choices.

Cultivate the land by yourself, or lease it, and take some rent for other small transactions, and once a person dies, or when it is divided again in the next year, the excess land is taken back, or it is divided.

In this way, the possible exploitative relationship between the people at the bottom is eliminated. Although there are still smart people who lease the land back and find people to breed and become landlords, they can earn much less, and they still have to pay rent and pay for hiring people.

If the harvest is not good, there may be a loss.

In this way, almost all the people will work hard to farm, and the country will have more food, and naturally, there will be more money.

"No. "

Wang Anshi pondered carefully, and always felt that there were loopholes in some places, and those gentry would not give up their rights so easily, especially those who had previously obtained fame and had an extraordinary status in the local area, and suddenly canceled their privileged status, I am afraid that there would be chaos overnight.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing what Wang Anshi said, Zhang Juzheng asked.

"It is not appropriate to collect it, and if it is done according to this law, how can it be levied. "

Wang Anshi wanted to directly say that it could not be effectively promoted, and the gentry would not agree. Finally, he glanced up at Yang Guang, and then dispelled his thoughts.

can instantly promote a few of his own people who are not the Sui Dynasty to important official positions in the country, just with this ability, as long as the emperor agrees, what other methods cannot be promoted.

"'One whip law', summing up the enlistment of a county, measuring the land, leviing all silver, the official is decomposed, and the hired servant is coped. "

Hearing what Wang Anshi said, Zhang Juzheng was not angry, but immediately gave a way to deal with it.

"Good, Wang Anshi admires. "

Just after listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Wang Anshi didn't care about it anymore, and bowed to Zhang Juzheng in public to express his admiration.
