The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 770
Lu Heng started the age of sailing after deliberation, not a momentary impulse!

First of all, it is only possible for the navy to do this when it is free. Otherwise, the navy will fight inland and then call back the fleet from the vast sea?This is not a joke?
Then there is the technical problem of ships. Although new sea ships and Mulan boats appeared a few years ago, the production was still very low and not enough to start such a large-scale voyage.

Now that the technology has matured, after several years of accumulation, the output can be greatly increased, and many sea-going ships have been built enough to equip the navy.

Then, as the domestic situation in the Song Dynasty gradually unifies the world, domestic resources will slowly reach their peak and then decline. After all, they are a farming nation and the land is so little.

After the troubled times are over, there will be a great order, the population will grow explosively, and the land will gradually become insufficient. The chronic problem of land annexation will not be solved even in later generations.

Although Lu Heng nationalized all the land in the world, it is impossible to change any right to use it overnight, and taking it back at any time would cause social unrest.

To give a simple example, the land of future generations is the right to use it, so the house price has fallen from the sky, and the people have worked so hard to buy a house, but the country suddenly said to take it back, would you do it in exchange for you?
In the same way in this era, legal acquisitions will cause land annexation issues!

To solve this problem is nothing more than two methods of 'increasing income' and 'reducing expenditure'. There is nothing to say about reducing expenditure. There are various ways to increase income. First, plan the nature of the land in terms of its nature, such as farming, breeding, animal husbandry, housing, merchants, factories, etc. and other reasonable planning and allocation.

The second type is "geometric folding". The term is a bit taller, but it is actually a high-rise built by later generations. The land area is no longer a plane in a broad sense but a three-dimensional one.

But the sky is 'infinite' in a broad sense. How high it can be reached depends entirely on the level of science and technology, so this line goes back to technological productivity.

The third is 'opening up frontiers and breaking ground'. What's the use of talking about so many barren lands in the words of many great powers?This is the most nonsense!There is no useless land, only useless people and ideas!

Lu Heng is most disgusted by the ideology and remarks of these "great powers". Even if the theory becomes more and more crooked in the later period, I will not repeat it here. Compared with the northern grasslands, the difficulty of opening up borders and breaking ground may be "hell level". Why not open up wasteland for various island countries without any difficulty?
You must know that Lu Heng was born in Jiangdong, so there is nothing wrong with vigorously promoting sailing. Lu Heng's broad horizons let Lu Heng know that the Malay Archipelago is on the other side of Hainan, and further south is Australia, whose land area is no less than that of China in this era!
Don't underestimate the merchant's sense of looking for business opportunities. As long as Lu Heng is the leader of private merchants, they will automatically initiate catering. Therefore, as long as Lu Heng's Song Dynasty shoots the first shot to establish a stable base, there will be merchants who will follow suit and cooperate with the policy. These lands can be completely transformed.

Another point is that the timing is just right now, Lu Heng thinks that some people think that they should wait until the reunification, but Lu Heng thinks that after the reunification, apart from the threat of the northern grasslands, people's minds must be "swords and guns put into storage, horses let go." On the contrary, Nanshan will have an aversion to war, and the resistance will be even greater at that time!

But now the strength of the Song Dynasty needs to be restored but remains strong. Such a small-scale battle can not only maintain the combat power of the army, but also open up territories. Why not do it?
What's more, the naval divisions are holding their breath now. With the Song Dynasty's naval division becoming the best in the world, but they can't get any decent military exploits, most of them are logistics. Gan Ning abandons the naval division and turns to land warfare. , What kind of navigation plan will be launched after the Navy is abolished?
Therefore, war is a continuation of politics. Only when there are enough interests will war be waged. Later generations can achieve most of the world peace because the economic system is becoming more and more mature. Obtaining huge benefits is the origin of the fundamental core.

Long story short, when Lu Heng measured the land and implemented the "square land average tax law", Lu Heng proposed that the "land use law" divide the actual use of land into farming, breeding, animal husbandry, housing, commerce, factories, etc. Different ways of using it to charge different taxes.

For example, residences are tax-free, and all taxes for farming, breeding, animal husbandry, commerce, and factories are classified and set, and there are many details, such as no fields are allowed in the county, and naturally it is impossible to have land for farming that requires detailed regulations to sort out.

It is natural that some people will conceal and change the way of land use, and declare that the house is used for animal husbandry. Besides, it is very normal to raise pigs next to one's own home in the countryside, so a special punishment mechanism and affiliated institutions should be set up to supervise it.

When Lu Heng and the important ministers established and sorted out the bills one by one, this stage alone has been discussed for almost two months, from administrative regions, official promotion management, economy, land measurement, land use rights, The central bank system, currency issuance system, voyage plan and other major items have been discussed.

Then when it came to the stage of implementation, Lu Heng suddenly thought of a huge problem. In the historical lessons of the Northern Song Dynasty's New Deal and reforms, the law is a good law, but various drawbacks have emerged during the implementation process.

It is because of personal interests, middle- and lower-level officials 'distort' the law and then destroy specific facts, and even conceal and deceive the people, etc.!

You must know that in this era, the common people's wisdom is basically not developed, and the common people are only busy with their own livelihoods. For them, the law is basically linked to morality and nothing more. If they are fooled by low-level officials, the first comparison is whether it will affect themselves. livelihood.

And this is also the fundamental reason why every reform failure in history was blamed on Jiangdong and given to the people, causing complaints.

To solve this problem is two words 'supervision'!
At least during the implementation stage of the New Deal, it is necessary to comprehensively monitor the implementation of low-level officials to see if they have done harm to the country because of personal interests. This requires a huge information network and management system.

Lu Heng was thankful that he established Jinyiwei and Huangcheng Division, which solved the problem of sources of information and then the supervision system. When Lu Heng raised this question, all the important officials thought about it seriously.

"Officials, when the New Deal is implemented, set up a "Secretary Intelligence Bureau" to sort out all the progress and news related to the New Deal, and at the same time give certain enforcement powers." Yu Yunwen came out and said after the ministers communicated.

Lu Heng thought for a while and finally opened the draft: "The law enforcement power is limited to control and arrest, and then the special case is transferred to the local criminal department, and the officials and families involved are transferred to the Six Doors and the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Wang Lang, Shi Xie, you two Set up a special task force to deal with the cases of official fraud, corruption, concealment and non-reporting caused by the New Deal, and organize a charter for me."

"The next officer takes orders!" X2
