Chapter 337 The Argument Between Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen

Chapter 338 The Argument Between Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen

"A natural disaster."

Zhang Liang spat out two words slowly, Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard these two words, he didn't expect Zhang Liang to see it so thoroughly, he was worthy of seeking a saint.

"This natural disaster is God's wrath, and people cannot avoid it. In all dynasties, I have never heard of a dynasty that was not affected by natural disasters. Your words are simply preposterous."

When Liu Bowen heard what Zhang Liang said, he immediately got up and looked at Zhang Liang and snorted coldly. Zhang Liang looked at this middle-aged man who was much older than himself, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said.

"Brother Bowen, you are right. Natural disasters are indeed unavoidable. Take the big man as an example. Every time there is a natural disaster, the court will even send out food and grass for disaster relief. But let's think about it from another angle. After the natural disaster, a large number of people were displaced and lost their land. "

"And whose hands did these lands go to? The local gentry or aristocratic families, and then these people leased the land to the people and exploited the people through the land. Not only that, these aristocratic families also have the right to be tax-free. With development, we found that the total amount of land has not changed, but the taxes collected by the imperial court have become less and less."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen knew that Zhang Liang saw him as waiting for his reply, but Liu Bowen didn't speak this time, and Jia Xu stood up instead.

"Mr. Zifang, what you said is wrong. Now that the lord is suppressing the family like this, how can there be a family? So the situation you mentioned does not exist."

When Ye Xiao heard what Jia Xu said, he understood that Jia Xu supported the land equalization system.

"Mr. Wenhe, what you said is a bit biased. Juzheng disagrees. Nowadays, many aristocratic families are not said to be natural aristocratic families. Many aristocratic families are born after birth. For example, if a certain family married their daughter into the palace, this family will flourish. , Another example is that a farmer has accumulated savings through hard work, and then grows and acquires a lot of land, and slowly grows bigger."

Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Juzheng's expression and nodded approvingly, thinking that this is fine, as expected of being the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes were sharp and his words were accurate.

When Liu Bowen heard what Zhang Juzheng said, he thought for a while and nodded, expressing his agreement with his point of view.

"Then wouldn't there be an aristocratic family in the public ownership?"

Liu Bowen's tactic of "returning others in the same way" was well used, directly throwing Zhang Liang's question to Zhang Liang.

Hearing Liu Bowen say this, Zhang Liang seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He cleared his throat with a faint smile, and then said.

"Once the land is publicly owned, the ownership of the land will always be owned by the imperial court. Whether the people or the aristocratic family, what they have is only the right to use the land. As the lord said, we can take back these use rights at any time, and they transfer the land to each other. Selling the land is easy to transfer, and the sale is only the use right, but the final ownership of the land will always be in our hands.”

"It's like renting a house. No matter what, I will always be the owner of this house. I just rent the house to you. In this way, once a big family annexes the land, we can sell the land of the big family. The land was taken back and redistributed in various ways."

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Liu Bowen and others fell into deep thought.

"If Zifang continues to implement it like this, then we can also stipulate that we can determine what and how much to plant on this land, so that we can control the production of food and ensure the production of the people."

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Gong.

Well, the current situation on the field is that Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Liang, and Chen Gong support public ownership, while Liu Bowen, Jia Xu and others support private ownership. According to what Ye Xiao said, the principle of the minority obeying the majority Ye Xiao turned and said to the crowd.

"The situation on the field is already obvious. Let's implement public ownership first. Bowen's wife, go and spread this system."

"Yes."

The two left after talking. Ye Xiao finished discussing. At this time, Ye Xiao was walking on the street, enjoying the evening breeze, and felt very comfortable coming towards him.

"My lord, a man named Man Chong came to look for you."

While Ye Xiao was walking, the people from Jin Yiwei came over and whispered this sentence in Ye Xiao's ear.

When Ye Xiao heard Man Chong's name, he was taken aback for a moment, and then began to recall the stories about Man Chong.

Man Chong is a Juye from Shandong. According to the historical trajectory, he should be caught by Cao Cao and taken to Xu County as the county magistrate, and then he will start his legendary life after joining Cao Cao. Man Chong is famous for his strict law enforcement in his life. After Cao Cao's death, he was the first person who could fake a Yue. It can be seen that Man Chong's ability, and Man Chong can be said to be one of the rare people with both civil and military skills in the entire Three Kingdoms. He is not only a person who can fight The military commander is still a strict and cruel official.

Although cruel officials are not a nice word, but in troubled times, cruel officials can often manage an area quickly.

"Take me to see him, and give me a copy of his information by the way."

Ye Xiao faced the Jinyiwei of the Jinyiwei beside him, and sent a piece of information to Ye Xiao as quickly as possible. Ye Xiao opened the information and began to read it. Through reading the information, Ye Xiao learned that after he captured Qingzhou, Man Chong lived in seclusion among the mountains and forests, wanting to be a hermit.

"In that case, why did this person come to see me suddenly?"

Ye Xiao looked at the information and muttered to himself, he really couldn't figure it out, why would a person who wanted to be a hermit come to see Ye Xiao suddenly, Ye Xiao thought that since Man Chong wanted to see him, it must be for It is impossible to say that he came for an official position because of his ideals.

Soon Ye Xiao entered Ye Mansion and found Man Chong in the living room.

"General Ye, do you have time?"

Man Chong saw Ye Xiao coming in, and then saluted him, saying that Ye Xiao heard Man Chong say this, thinking that you are blocking my door, can I have no time?
"Mr. Man Chong, please tell me something."

Ye Xiao looked at Man Chong and said with a smile.

"General Ye, after you defeated Cao Cao, I planned to stay out as a hermit, but this time there was a drought in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and your actions moved me."

"and then?"

Ye Xiao looked at Man Chong in front of him and asked with a smile.

"The three places in Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou suffered from drought. Among them, Qingzhou and Xuzhou suffered the most severe drought, and General Ye paid the most attention to disaster relief in these two places. This is what Man Chong admires the most."

When Ye Xiao heard Man Chong's rainbow fart, he knew that this matter was not simple, and there must be something else to say. Immediately, seeing that Man Chong didn't speak, Man Chong saw that Ye Xiao didn't respond, so he took a sip of tea and continued. Said.

"It can be said that it is a blessing for the people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to meet General Ye. This is why those refugees came back after General Ye issued a disaster relief order. However, some of General Ye's actions made me feel very strange. Originally, people in the mountains and fields shouldn't ask about these things, but I still couldn't figure it out these days, so I drove to Yuzhou to ask General Ye."
