Chapter 635: Fate and the Xiguo system!
After conquering the two countries, Yao Yun [Molong Ding], [Zhenshan Seal] and other ritual vessels returned triumphantly.
Lady Liusu, the second elder Wu Tong, the prime minister Sun Muyue, and the people of Xidu were welcomed twenty miles away from the suburbs. The scene was extremely grand and grand.
"Congratulations to the king for his victory!"
Amid the celebration, Yao Yun and others welcomed the [Molong Ding], [Zhenshan Seal] and other broken ritual vessels back to the Wu Temple to add national destiny to Xiguo.
The second elder Wu Tong saw so many ritual instruments, including two ritual instruments that kept the country, and his mouth was filled with smiles.
After many years, he was finally able to worship so many national ritual instruments again.
The second elder Wu Tong, who was covered in spring breeze, immediately began to work on grand sacrificial activities.
After Yao Yun gave the national ritual vessels and a number of ritual vessels to the second elder Wu Tong, he ignored them. Instead, he turned to discuss with the Prime Minister Sun Muyue about taking over and governing Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom.
After taking over the two countries, the Xiguo system naturally needs new places to continue.
In today's summer and heavenly dynasties, the feudal system was implemented, and the emperor owned the world. The emperor divided the land and the people to the princes. The princes enjoyed extremely high regional autonomy and assumed corresponding obligations.
Among the vassal states, the princes also granted the title of nobles and officials, and the nobles and officials were granted the title of scholars, and they were granted the title of title every layer.
The land in the world is called public ownership, but it is actually a public ownership system owned by aristocrats. In Xiguo, the land belongs to Yao Yun and the country. Yao Yun contracted the land management rights to the people, and used these to collect rent, taxes, and extract the surplus of the farmers' labor to strengthen the Xiguo.
Of course, farmers can trade land management rights for expansion of reproduction.
The senior Qi Refining Master and important minister of Xi's Kingdom also granted land, but instead of excluding the land ownership, the land beneficiary rights were enfeoffed, the land management rights were dispatched by Xi's Kingdom.
This is similar to the "fair fiefs" implemented by many vassal states in the Xia Dynasty, but it is also different.
Under the "fixion" system, nobles can collect rent and tax from the people.
The people on the fiefdom of Xiguo still paid taxes to Xiguo, and the land rent was also handed over to the treasury, and then the treasury was rewarded to the emerging gentry of Xiguo.
Under this system, the income obtained by the emerging gentry in Xi's country has not been much smaller, but has increased a lot. Especially in recent years, the grain yield per mu of Xi's country has increased year by year, and the land income has continued to increase. The wealth of the emerging gentry in Xi's country has also increased.
What's more, the Xi country had a developed business, and these gentry invested the income from fiefs into shops and workshops, which was much higher than the aristocrats of other countries' "fiscals".
With the same large fiefdom, the emerging gentry of Xi Kingdom was much richer.
For example, Xiguo is a joint-stock company. Yao Yun and Guoguo are major shareholders, operating and managing, creating profits, and the gentry are small shareholders, working hard for the country and enjoying dividends.
The advantage of this is that the general public is linked to the country and the family, decoupled from ordinary aristocratic races, strengthening centralization, and integrating Xiguo resources will help encourage the people to work and produce.
The Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom all implemented the "fiscation" system. The nobles of the two countries could collect rent and tax from the people under their rule, which was different from the Xi Kingdom's system.
In this case, Xiguo naturally needs to ban it and implement the Xiguo system nationwide.
Most of the land and wealth of the two countries were controlled by the nobles of the two countries. After conquering the Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom, Yao Yun used a "violent regime" with zero cost and ordered the Xi army to sweep the Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan Kingdom.
Once dependent on Mobo, the wealthy families of the gentry from Shanyuan Kingdom were either confiscated or imprisoned, or wandered to other countries and traveled far away.
The farmland, house land deeds and slaves that once belonged to the great nobles of the two countries were all confiscated by Xiguo, and all their wealth fell into the hands of Xiguo.
In order to stabilize the situation, Yao Yun's methods were much gentler to the small and medium-sized gentry of the two countries, focusing on appeasement.
As long as he surrenders to Xiguo, Xiguo will recognize the legitimacy of his wealth - the "fissure fief" is still retained, but there is no ownership of the land, only the land beneficiary right.
Another thing is slaves. Xiguo will buy slaves from small and medium-sized nobles and even ordinary people by redemption.
Of course, the redemption money is not a one-time payment. Xiguo is famous for its prosperity and prosperity, but after all, there is not that much money. Xiguo will implement installments, write an IOU in the name of Xiyun Marquis Yao Yun, and use the labor income generated by the slaves to pay the original nobles of the two countries in installments.
As a result, the Xi State carried out institutional transformation and assimilation of the original Mo State and Shanyuan State.
What? The nobles of your two countries do not agree? Questioning the credibility of Xiyunhou?
Believe it or not and immediately let your family be destroyed, follow Mo Bo and Shan Yuan Bo follow the footsteps?
During the initial assimilation process, the small and medium-sized nobles of the two countries were indeed worried and were unwilling to give up their "fixion" and get any "fiscation gains". They were also worried that their "slaves" were "blacked" by the Marquis of Xiyun.
After all, the status gap between the two sides is big. If Mr. Xiyun doesn’t return, who will they ask for?
This worry did not last long. As the great nobles of the two countries confiscate their homes and flee, under the "killing the chicken to warn the monkey", the little Jiujiu in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Compared with those families whose families were destroyed, the methods of Xiyun Hou were relatively gentle and did not "forced robbery". With the lobbying of the officials of Xiguo, the profits of Xiguo's fiefs were so abundant... Under many comparisons, the small and medium-sized nobles quickly compromised and bowed to Yao Yun to surrender.
The common people of Mo and Shanyuan countries have no land, but many of them have slaves in their families. This is their private property, so they naturally do not want to hand over to Xiguo and get an IOU.
For ordinary people, let alone the IOU that King Xiyun wrote was called, even the IOU that Emperor Di Mu made was useless.
When dealing with ordinary people who are powerless, Xiguo naturally cannot use force to force the nobles of the two countries to submit, otherwise Yao Yun will become a tyrant.
The most important thing is that the situation among the people is more complicated. Some slaves are tools of their labor, and some are important components of their reproduction. They are complicated. If they implement the Xiguo system in one size fits all, then chaos will occur.
Therefore, for ordinary civilians, slavery needs to be slowly planned and relied on Xi'an to take it step by step.
Fortunately, Tianwen Academy can train many minor officials every year, and then it can be distributed in various places in a net, and it will eventually be improved step by step.
However, overall, the people of the two countries support the rule of Xiguo very much, because Xiguo distributes the land management rights of a large amount of fertile land to the people, realizing that "the one who farms has his own land", the people of the two countries naturally support Yao Yun.
Not to mention, Xi's country is famous for its wealth and prosperity, and who doesn't know that Xi's Marquis is kind and kind to love the people, governs the country well, and has good health to the people under his rule.
