Fu Bi was not stupid either. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it, wandering outside the sky.

Fu Bi is not long-winded, what else do others say? Yan Shu has not done a good job yet. There are too many national affairs, and those who are capable work more. Fan Zhongyan needs to work hard, so he will leave it to Fan Zhongyan. It seems that his luck is really good. In front of Lu Yi and the capable are more laborious, and later on Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Lang are the prime minister who is comfortable.

Zhang Dexiang saw it very clearly that Fan Zhongyan's reform was very pedantic and would not succeed, but he was not responsible for himself. He was stubborn and defended himself. He only wanted to be fine and let you jump away. Du Yan's reputation was a pity that because he trusted Fan Zhongyan so much, he got into the fog this time. But he was also a steady person, why did he offend Lu Yijian? Jia Changchao was crying. Come back, come back, the wanderer wandering around the world, the Zhongshu is your cloud, Lu Yijian. Strictly speaking, if you go to the northwest to receive some small favors from Lu Yijian, you will not make a sound.

What else can Fu Bi say?

If Ouyang Xiu had brought a group of little brothers, Lu Yijian would not have thought of talking this time and could have pulled up his fists and started the battle.

Zhao Zhen asked in confusion: "I may be controversial."

"Your Majesty, there is no dispute about the new policy you initiated. At this time, the country is terminally ill and does not use tiger and wolf agents. How to treat it?"

Fu Bi is about to fall down again. Is this the conservative Lu Yijian?

I was wrong about this, including later experts playing the piano randomly, saying that Lu Yijian was a conservative, and the Qingli New Deal was ruined by Lu Yijian, and he was nonsense. He was not conservative, but he frightened the tea method. In the second year of Tiansheng, he and Li Zi and Liu Yun used the sticking method. That is, the trade law instead of the old tea method. It should be said that the tea method only accounts for a small part of the country's income, and there is little turmoil. As a result, all the powerful people were complaining and slandering. Not only the powerful people, but also the teacher Sun Shi, Zhao Zhen, came forward for these powerful people. In order to calm the dispute, the court had to put them in a row.

Some officials from the Three Divisions were exiled to the Shemen Island. Lu Yijian was still unwilling to give up and restored the styling method with Li Zi again in the third year of Jingyou. The rich men wanted to object, but Lu Yijian's status was solid at that time, so he had a sudden inspiration and used four statements to replace the original three statements, expressing concessions to the court, but in fact, he changed the soup and did not change the medicine. As a result, under their step-by-step attack, the Tea Method declared a second failure. These two failures still fresh in his memory. Since then, like Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong and others, they can only carry out a broken step reform, which is the fine adjustment in Zheng Lang's mouth.

It was not until Zheng Lang came to the door to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Yijian in order to exempt him from the law of service. Lu Yijian suddenly realized.

The failure of Lu Yijian's tea method, and the failure of the new Qingli policy immediately, and Wang Anshi's Xining reform failed. In the end, it is the doctrine of mean that Zheng Lang talked about with Zhao Zhen in the palace. In other words, it is called Confucian righteousness. To put it bluntly. Once the reform is made, some of the powerful and powerful people will be harmed, and it is best not to touch their interests. It is impossible to avoid it. Give them some new interests to compensate them and appease their emotions. There is no way. As Zheng Lang's doctrine of the mean, the so-called world is the world of these elites. As for the people, go to hell. People who have been ten thousand years old cannot be the masters.

There is really no way to compensate, win over a group of new powerful people and benefit them. The powerful people are opposed, but the powerful people are supporting each other and conflict with each other, the law will be implemented. As long as it has been implemented for a few years, or more than ten years, it will not be arguing again.

But Zheng Lang gave a nice name, Ren.

This alone is not enough. Benevolence is kindness, and power is needed. Use decrees to punish and shock.

Where did you see these two new Qingli policies?

In addition, a group of messy little brothers jumping up and down, how could they not fail?

Zheng Lang expressed his thoughts, and Lu Yijian was depressed, and then held Zheng Lang's doctrine of the mean every day to read it as a quote. He also told Lu Gong about the various differences between judging things based on the facts and discussing things based on the person, such a profound philosophical topic.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Accurate."

Lu Yijian said again: "Your Majesty, but when you go down, it is not a whole piece of land. There are more than a dozen acres of large fields, and only a few small fields are not connected. Some of the main households are scattered in dozens and hundreds of places, and the measurement is not easy. Therefore, I think it is necessary to issue an edict, and the senior households in various places measure the fields under their jurisdiction, set up trees and plant trees as the boundary, and mark the fields owners in the continent, the soil color, the size of the fields, and the size of the fields, and then hand them over to the county magistrates for filing. If there are changes in disasters, pioneers, change owners, water conservancy, roads, etc. in the future, the senior households must be asked to measure again, and then file with the county magistrates. When officials go down to measure the fields, they will measure according to the fields of each county magistrate, and if they are not within the field magistrate, or if the fields are not fully imposed, they will be punished by punishment. Otherwise, even if any officials go down to clear the amount, they will be blind. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Fu Bi was dumbfounded again.

But this is not the intention of Lu Yijian and Zheng Lang.

The history of merging fields and hidden fields was very complicated. The Tang Dynasty first paid taxes with the dynasty, and paid as much grain and cloth as a dynasty, and took on a dynasty. So some officials did not allow the people to move, blocked the roads leading to the outside world, and even closed the commerce of prosperous commercial cities such as Yangzhou and Kaifeng, allowing citizens to return to the countryside to farm. This is definitely wrong. Later, Yang Yan's two-tax law was not implemented well, which caused great controversy. However, it benefited the Song Dynasty and was familiar with the people of the Song Dynasty, so they continued to use the two-tax law.

The people use the grain, silk, gold, iron and mulberry and hemp produced in summer and autumn. The tax amount is to pay taxes according to the upper, middle and lower grades of the land. If the land of the middle field takes one tenth of the stone produced in one season, it means paying taxes to the court in one bucket.

In fact, it would not be the case. Otherwise, Zheng Lang would not have collected three-tenths of it in Taipingzhou, and the people were still smiling. Because in addition to this tax, there are also distributions, from transfer fees to starting the main money, hiring ships, etc., there are many names, and convenience has become a change of harsh people. The most powerful official can make one dou of grain and four dou. This has been opened since the Tang Dynasty. The officials kicked up, and the one who kicked it was his own. The most powerful two and a half dou could be kicked out and only one dou left.

This is the real two taxes.

The income from various materials of the two taxes is generally between 30 million and 40 million guan. The two taxes alone are higher than all taxes in the Tang Dynasty, but the people are not as burdened by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Because there were a large number of exempted households in the Tang Dynasty, including the once huge five surnames and seven families, the scope of the collection was very small, although not as high as that of the Song Dynasty. However, the burden of the households actually being taxed is much heavier than that of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to vocational land, the Song Dynasty had to pay two taxes as long as it was private land.

The starting point is good, but the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty are also a history of mankind. Poor people have no choice, and the wealthy and powerful people have their own ways. They have little to do with the merger of land. The Song Dynasty never forbidden land merger, even if you have 100,000 acres of land, you just need to pay taxes.

How can we escape from this tax? So we hide the land, including those who escape oral vocational service. Most of the hidden land are made by poor people, but most of the hidden land is made by powerful people.

This is definitely a bad sign.

In order to make money, Fan Zhongyan did not allow Zhao Zhen to reduce his financial support, nor did Zhao Zhen relax on tea, salt, wine and alum. He wanted to sell official positions and make money. How could he sit down and watch so many wealthy families hide their land and avoid the two taxes?

The practice is the same as the Qingli New Policy. I only know how to check it. I have to pay taxes after finding it. After checking one county, I will check the next county. After checking one state, I will check the next state. There are no specific punishment measures and I want to target the whole country. As a result, I found more than two million acres of hidden land in Shangcai County. It was shocking, but I had to stop it.

But it caused a worse consequence. Seeing the trouble of the court, he hid the field even more seriously. In the end, he was forced to helplessly. Cai Ting and Liaocheng and Gao Tangtian were again. It seemed successful, but he was overthrown again, and Bao Zheng could not take it seriously. He was very smart. He didn't start investigating and was scared away directly. I couldn't check it.

The overthrow of the land has caused more serious land concealment. Nearly 700 million mu of arable land in the entire Song Dynasty was concealed into 220 million mu of arable land, which was 70% less!

This is the main reason for the power of the powerful people in later generations, but another reason is ignored, and the method is inappropriate!

What Lu Yijian said was the result of his consultation with Zheng Lang, which was derived from the Fangtianjun Tax Law, but it was not, and he even did not want to investigate the hidden land across the country. It was just for a deterrence and issued the imperial edict as the basis for further eliminating this disadvantage in the future. The main goal was to block the expansion of the scale of hidden land.

We must distinguish the main and secondary, and we can measure the hidden fields of the country in a daze. Let’s look at Wang Anshi. We can only restore the country’s land from 2.2 million hectares to 2.8 million hectares. This is also a theory mentioned in the Doctrine of the Mean. Adjustment also requires strength, just like kneading dough, kneading more than ten pounds of dough, and a few pounds of dough with a large force, but whether it can knead hundreds of pounds of dough is a pure waste of expression, which is similar to what gentlemen do now. To be more popular, it is to do what they can do within their power.

This kind of calm, sober, and mature and passionate young man must not like it, but as Lu Yijian, he liked it very much.

This is what you have to do when you do big things. You don’t want to fight on the battlefield. Let me fight. Kill one of them to make money, kill two of them to earn one. The Zhongshu every move or even write a word casually. At least hundreds of schools will be affected. Can you play like Ouyang Xiu?

Why did it not be said through Lu Yijian's mouth? Because the gentlemen's reforms offended many powerful people, they all regarded Lu Yijian as a representative of the conservatives. But God knows whether Lu Yijian would be conservative? As soon as he came forward, he would pull some opposing ministers to express their support.

Both sides are investigating this hidden field, and the resistance they will face will be small.

And more than that, Lu Yijian said: "Your Majesty, I think that among the four states, Ru Cai is closest to the capital, and I am suffering from the thieves. At this time, we should be comforted and not harassed. There is a Grand Canal in Bozhou. If you want to rescue the disaster in the north, the Grand Canal is the focus, and I also think that it cannot harass you. The number of land in the country has dropped from more than 5 million hectares when the late emperor was over 3 million hectares. However, there are many newly reclaimed fields in various places, and there are countless mountain fields. The old ministers have lost it."

"Lu Qing, don't blame yourself," Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and rubbed his tears and said emotionally.

It turns out that he is the old prime minister, and he immediately tells the seriousness of the matter.

Lu Yijian said slowly again: "Your Majesty, you can see how many hidden fields will be? Wherever you poke it, it will be a hornet's nest. So this year, I will issue an edict to establish laws and standards, and then send envoys to Qingliangshouzhou to learn from the success and gains and losses, and discuss it after next autumn to see how the national harvest is, how the finance is, and how the development trend of hidden fields will be. Then make a decision. One is more stable, two is to borrow precedents, and three is to deter the hidden fields first, allowing hidden fields to be reformed and reduce disputes. This is a way to save the country."

How well said, Zhao Zhen said: "Lu Qing, please report."

"I will say goodbye to Your Majesty now." I can't stay any longer. Maybe I will be surrounded by Yanchen outside the palace and blocked him. I hurriedly asked Mr. Lu to push his wheelchair out.

Zhao Zhen looked at his back and said to Fan Zhongyan: "Lu Qing is old, so you don't have to pursue Lu Qing in the future."

But how is it possible? Ouyang Xiu and others went crazy after hearing this, and countless impeachments were issued to the palace the next day.

Your Majesty, what are you doing? Didn’t you say that Lu Yijian would retire, and from then on, this evil person would no longer ask about government affairs, why did he ask about the measurement of land and acres, and even let him enter the palace. This is a very bad omen, and you have to be suppressed immediately.

As for Lu Yijian's move this time, he was actually a cooperation with them in measuring the land mu, Ouyang Xiu didn't care at all.

Looking at the countless vicious memorials, Zheng Lang felt very sorry for Lu Yijian. Zheng Lang thought of a sentence in his mind, wanting to perish one person, let this person go crazy first. After Ouyang Xiu asked himself to speak, he was honest for a few days and was hysterical again.

As a result, this literary master's position became increasingly lighter and lighter in Zheng Lang's heart. In fact, Lu Yijian and himself took action well this time, especially when choosing Shouzhou, it was very useful! No one thought of it, it was strange.

I can’t even think of this, it’s a big deal!

The balance tilted again.
