Chapter 331 Generosity
Wang Ju is also making final preparations.
He first called dozens of commanders together. Even the Pochet Army was greedy and deducted, but these commanders performed well in the canal worker this time.
Of course, it depends on who takes the lead.
Wang Ju ordered the soldiers to slaughter a few fat sheep, then brought the soju and said, "It's just shoji, but it's not the kind of shoji that scratches the wound. It must be specially made and cannot be drunk. Don't be there. A fat sheep can only be exchanged for two or three kilograms of shoji."
"It's so expensive?" Some instructors said.
In fact, it is like Hou Ke drinking real fried tea. Some people are used to it, while others are not.
However, Wang Ju thought it was a good thing after saying this.
Everyone was drinking soju and roasted lamb, but Wang Ju changed it to a small cup, which restricted everyone from drinking too much.
Drinking and eating meat is a party, but there must be important things to explain at this party.
That is to measure the fields and divide the fields.
It would be easier to measure the fields and divide the fields, but there would be many troubles in the future. So Wang Ju made a big move this time, and he and Cheng Fang each led the officers and soldiers of the 20th battalion to divide them into 20th battalion. Each brigade was divided into five squads based on capital units. Then, the battalion was divided into five squads again. Then, the battalion was divided into prisoners of war and the officers and soldiers who were learning to measure the fields. Each brigade was allocated four or five corpses.
Wang Ju taught them Arabic numerals, which may be difficult for those who read and read, but for these illiterate soldiers, it is easier to learn. Even when calculating, it will not be too difficult. It is just simple addition, subtraction and multiplication, and division is rarely used.
In fact, the main thing is to calculate the area formulas of various shapes. But it is also a simple area formula. There are really some strange-shaped fields with intertwined canine teeth. Then fold them.
In fact, if it weren't for a dispute, although there were a lot of fields, Wang Ju actually sent the officers and soldiers of the 41st Battalion to measure it, and he was a bit of a slaughter of chickens.
But the reality is that so many people measure it, there may be problems of one kind or another.
So Wang Ju must explain in advance.
In such a vast area, the areas measured by each brigade must be allocated, so that they can get familiar with it.
There is also Wang Ju's compensation, and this must be explained clearly. The headache is that there are many people and are not together, but it has nothing to do with the brigades. Wang Ju took Huang Liang and Tao Qing to copy it, and just follow Wang Ju's instructions to compensate.
In addition, it is the real compensation for all the canal-built residents. If labor is exchanged for farmland, it must be written more clearly.
In order to write the small account book in each commander's hands clearly, Wang Ju also deliberately selected dozens of literate and settle accounts from each battalion army to help.
Don’t look at these booklets. Wang Ju has also suffered. For more than half a year, he has not written a single word for his medium-sized math book, so he has fiddled with it every night.
We must also try to move out concentrated areas as the future Yongyefield of the sergeant. There are very few soldiers in these sergeant corps, mainly the Poche Army, which is mobilized during wartime and trained in idle time. Therefore, each battalion cannot be broken up. Some warehouses and training grounds must be built. If this one is not handled now, if it is not done well in the future, it will appear that can be plowed dozens of miles away, and there will be no training.
Finally, it is to deal with some emergencies when measuring and distributing.
Hou Ke was drinking and murmured, "Where are the land being divided by 20,000 people?"
In fact, ordinary people's fields are easy to divide, and those within the sergeants are also easy to divide. After all, they still have subsidies for the imperial court.
Some small and medium-sized owners who have not hidden the fields are even more ill. Even if they hide the fields, as long as they hide too much, Wang Ju did not really intend to deduct much from them this time. It would probably be a little trouble, but the problem would not be big.
Those major major companies that have been designated within the country are also not a big problem.
The difficulty lies in a few people. In several counties, the majority are Jingyang. This year, Jingyang has benefited the most, and of course the most. There may be about ten households, including more than twenty households, and the few are only about twenty households, but the total number is only about two hundred households. However, there are quite a lot of land in their hands, which can reach more than two thousand hectares, and the hidden fields are very hidden.
But even now, Wang Ju has not disclosed how to deal with these difficult-to-door households.
After Wang Ju finished giving the instructions, he asked the instructors to have a drink and chat, and then called Hou Ke aside. The two of them wrote a memorial together.
That is, once the farmland is distributed in the irrigation area, no transactions are allowed.
Why? Let’s look at Han Qi’s San Ding Yi, the target is the main household, many labor service is also the main household, and the taxes are also levied according to the amount of cultivated land in the family.
Therefore, many poor households bring land to the tenant, that is, they negotiate with the main household in private, give the main household a small amount of rent a year, and then divide the land into the main household's name. As for whether the main household hides the land or evades taxes, it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, the court was unable to complete the arrest of the people and the people, so they were arrested regardless of the situation, which led to some extremely poor households such as ** and were arrested for being brave or working as a servant.
Some of the main households were greedy and directly ate the farmland they had taken to take charge, causing lawsuits.
In fact, if the hidden fields in the Song Dynasty were not rectified, there would be a great crisis. It would not be more than two million hectares of arable land. Among these registered arable land, there were also official fields such as school land and military farmland. In addition, female households (no male households), martyrs, temples, and official households did not have to pay taxes. If these arable land were removed, how many taxable arable land would be registered?
Moreover, this system has also caused countless lawsuits on arable land. For example, Mr. Peng, if he put his arable land in his nephew's name, he would not have to pay taxes, but why not? I dare not, what if I eat it?
Not to mention uncles and nephews, even brothers will embezzle each other's plowing fields!
Even Wang Ju handled dozens of arable land lawsuits in Huachi County on the border, let alone Zheng Baiqu.
So Wang Ju made history backwards and restored to the early Tang Dynasty's measures, using these irrigated fields together as Yongye fields, which are your personal and will be inherited by your descendants after death, but they cannot be bought or sold. Even if you sell so much land in your family, you still have to pay such taxes in a year! As for the land of the soldiers, the court does not allow them to pay taxes, but they themselves cannot sell their arable land. Even if they are sold, the court will not recognize the legality of their transactions.
If someone is doing business outside, he is really unable to operate it. He is allowed to let outsiders rent the seeds, but he is not allowed to buy or sell it.
This is a backward approach. Even though the Tang Dynasty implemented this method, it did not prevent the phenomenon of arable land annexation.
However, if the Song Dynasty could not make the Xixia almost the same within these thirty or forty years, the crisis would come. At that time, whether it was sold or not!
Because the irrigation area reaches eight counties, the court must agree.
The two of them wrote the memorial and sent it to the capital with a fast horse.
The outside instructors continued to drink wine, and some were talking about the matter of dividing the fields.
It was not assigned by Wang Ju to each instructor.
What they were talking about was that those camps could be distributed to the fields this year.
There will be about 40th battalion officers and soldiers who can be assigned to the fields. In fact, most Poche Army troops also have arable land in their hometowns, but most of the soldiers have a small amount of arable land, but the land is also thin. Can they be sent to the Poche Army if they are sent to the Poche Army? If they can be sent to the Poche Army, they will also be able to get a head or instruct them.
So if that battalion can be assigned to the ground first, the family members of the battalion will live a good life.
Most commanders may not expect the little farmland they can get. Of course, it is better than not. But their families are free of food and clothing, and they will be happy. This is one of the important fundamentals of morale. If you don’t have morale, you will die if you go to the battlefield. The more you fear death on the battlefield, the faster you die.
"This idea is very good, but I may not take up the long term." Hou Ke said.
"That's true, it is equivalent to the government system of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. As for whether it will take up the long term, I don't expect it to take up the long term."
“Why?”
"Now the government is striving for progress. If the Xixia family cannot solve it in the past few decades, then as I said, prosperity will lead to decline. Even if the king of the next few generations continues to maintain it, over time, everyone will no longer have hope..."
I won’t talk about what’s next, and the Song Dynasty began to officially decline.
Hou Ke scratched his head and said, "Do your duty, Zi'an, it's going to start in a few days."
"You can't drag it anymore, if you drag the winter wheat, you will be missed."
"Is there no other way except your method?"
"Minister Hou, what other good solutions can you come up with?"
Hou Ke was confused. The facts were in the rhythm of the king from the beginning. He did not check the hidden fields and the actual number of acres at the beginning. Where can I imagine other ways to go?
"I am not worried about anything else, but about Zi'an, your own future. After all, my dynasty is based on leniency..."
"Minister Hou, stop talking. If I don't talk about others, I will say that you have political achievements and lenient things. Why is it that you are only a position of official position so far? As for the ministers in the court, what lenient things are said to be based on is just an excuse to suppress opponents. Who do you think can be based on lenient things?"
"Sima Gong."
Wang Ju almost sprayed out the tea. For this old thing, Wang Guangyuan, this person was an old man of the late emperor's vassal residence, and he had kindness to the late emperor. Therefore, after the late emperor ascended the throne, he offered a relatively noble and idle position, but not an important position. Can this private favor be reasonable, right?"
“That won’t work either.”
"Okay, even if that doesn't work, I'll ask again, how many incompetent officials did the imperial court raise?"
"this……"
"Why is Sima Gong only staring at Wang Guangyuan, an official? That's fine. Wang Guangyuan was demoted to Qizhou. What crime did he commit? No, why didn't Sima Guang even give him the qualification to wear seal clothes? Even a small official like us, we can't give seal clothes. Why did Wang Guangyuan leave the capital and the official family was heartbroken in the ban? Isn't it just that the official family is young and easy to bully? This is what is called loyalty?"
Also, Wang Juneng gave seven or eight examples, so there was no need for him to give.
Hou Ke was confused again. Sima Guang could not be considered generous, so he should not say that other ministers who were decisive, scheming, or ruthless.
Wang Ju patted Lao Hou's shoulder and said, "Minister Hou, if he is really generous, then he will stay in the place for the rest of his life like you."
…………
"I've met Zhang Zhongjun," said the four officials.
This Zhang Zhongen was the confidant Empress Dowager Cao and Zhang Maoze, who wanted to harm him, and he was this little eunuch, but now he was a big eunuch. He then asked Zhao Zhen to be exiled to Chang'an as the commander of Yongxing Army.
The inside story in the palace is unknown, but Zhao Zhen and Empress Dowager Cao are in disagreement. This can be seen that not only is he going crazy this time, but also how Zhao Zhen treats the people of the Cao family, or how Zhao Zhen compares Zhang Guifei's family with Cao family.
Of course, history has been revealed one more page.
As soon as Zhao Zhen died, everything in the Zhang family became a past trend and lacked foundation. So Zhang Maoze was transferred back to the palace and is now transferred to the deputy governor.
This shows that the palace's emphasis on Zheng Baiqu may not be Zhao Xu, but the two empress dowagers!
That's why this big eunuch was sent out.
"No need, prepare to open the channel."
"Now." Wang Judao.
The canal leader was dug up, and Wang Ju began to ask the soldiers and civilians to come up.
Then he ordered the officers and soldiers of the two battalions to stand on the pontoon bridge.
It turned out that Wang Ju planned to use a boat to pull mud bags, but because the completion time was advanced, the Jingshui water situation was still huge and the gap was large.
So Wang Ju changed his mind and set up a floating bridge on the wooden stake. The man stood on the floating bridge, pulled the mud bag up with a rope, opened the canal entrance, and put water in.
Human life is at stake. This is a festive day, and it is always a bit bad for human life.
The soldiers pulled up bags of mud bags and transported them to the shore. There were many people standing on both sides of the scene. Some people looked at the strange canal head Shitang, but their eyes quickly retracted.
He pulled up a bag of mud bags and transported them to the shore.
Water began to rush into the canal.
"Water is coming," the people couldn't help but cheer in unison.
The more and more water is coming, because there is a drop, it hits the bottom of the canal and makes a huge sound. However, this sound is heard in the ears of the people, just like the sound of nature.
At this moment, Wang Ju shouted: "Retreat quickly and remove from the floating bridge." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster! u
