Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.
Chapter 323 "Dividing a small person into an acre", the perfect land system
"This this......"
"This was actually done by the prince?!"
Gu Jiang took the paper from Zhou Zheng's hand and looked at the dense content above. Gu Jiang felt a little awkward when speaking.
Other officials were puzzled, and then they were stunned and in disbelief after being circulated directly.
When they looked at Zhou Zheng, their mouths could no longer close, their pupils were dilated, and some even knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng on the spot.
It wasn't that they were kneeling down to lick Zhou Zheng, but the content on the paper was so shocking that it made people go crazy.
Judging from everyone's expressions, Zhou Zheng was relatively calm.
But Gong Tan, Gan Mo, and Zhou Ping looked at each other in confusion, obviously not understanding why these officials in Xiang County were so excited at this moment.
It wasn't until Gong Tan and others took over that they finally understood why Gu Jiang and others had such changes!
Because what is written on this piece of paper is the so-called land system: "Dividing a small person into an acre".
"Boss, you are truly a god!"
At this time, Zhou Ping also restrained the cynicism on his face, and his body even trembled a little.
As the crown prince, he is very aware of the importance of land to the people.
To be precise, it is the importance of land to the court, the people, and officials.
Only by truly mastering the land can we control everything in the entire country.
Since ancient times, all major dynasties have done a lot of work on the land system, with the goal of making the land system as perfect as possible and becoming the court's greatest weapon.
However, with the development of time and changes in specific circumstances, most land systems began to no longer fit the situation.
Whenever a dynasty falls, it is mostly related to the land.
Because the conflicts between the landlords, the people, and the court will become more and more obvious.
It's almost impossible to find the middle ground.
Most of the time, the court could only achieve its so-called purpose by reducing or increasing land taxes.
It's a pity that this method is too dangerous.
If a wise king is in charge, it will naturally not be a big problem.
But the emperor is not omnipotent, and not all emperors are wise. If one is not careful, the modification and adjustment of land taxes may become the cradle of corrupt officials and a means for landlords to make money.
However, Zhou Zheng's so-called method of "divide a small family into an entire family" this time has almost completely solved this problem.
On the basis of setting the number of people in Xiangjun as a fixed number of dings, he implemented the method of "dividing dings into acres", evenly dividing the ding tax into the land tax, and levying a unified land ding silver, which completely solved the problem of levying ding and land taxes at the same time. dual-track taxation system.
It seems simple, but in fact this idea is unprecedented and enough to cause a huge sensation.
Only Gong Tan listened a little dazedly.
Although she was the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, she obviously didn't understand much about "The Story of a Young Man".
Gu Jiang: "Mr. Gong, by dividing people into acres, we have fully realized that the labor tax on people is collected from the land tax, so that the population tax and the property tax are integrated. This means that the landless people no longer have the burden of the labor tax on the land, so that the landless people no longer have the labor burden of the population tax. The amount of land tax increased for households. For the court, there was no reduction in tax revenue. For the people, there was no nominal population tax. This was an unprecedented innovation in the taxation system. The management of land, population, finance and taxation began to gradually Integration.”
Zhou Ping: “That’s right, if we really implement the policy of “sharing a small share of a man’s share with an acre”, although the state’s personal control over farmers will be further relaxed, it will mobilize farmers’ enthusiasm for production. Class conflicts will be temporarily alleviated, and the phenomenon of hidden population will also gradually decrease. Promoted the population growth of the Zhou Dynasty."
Gan Mo: "Yes, once the "divide the land into acres" is implemented, it can avoid the annexation of farmers' land by large landowners to the greatest extent, and can protect many small and medium-sized farmers and self-cultivators. It can also make taxes as equal as possible!"
Several people explained to Gong Tan word by word.
But without exception, they all looked excited and absolutely worshiped Zhou Zheng.
All in all, "Shatting the land" can make farmers live better, restrict landlords, increase the population, and make it easier for the court to collect taxes.
In their view, this is an almost perfect land system.
It was a new system that had never been proposed by anyone in the past three hundred years.
Looking at the entire world and throughout human history, it is a unique existence.
This makes Gu Jiang and others excited! ?
If "Everyone can be divided into acres" can be implemented in Xiangjun, then Zhou Zheng will definitely become the reborn parent of countless people in Xiangjun!
And it is also a real great merit that they follow Zhou Zheng to promote "Standing in the Farm"!
At this time, Gu Jiang and others finally understood why Zhou Zheng had asked them if they dared!
If they were still a little hesitant just now, but now their eyes are firm. If "Standing a small family into a farm" is really implemented, why wouldn't they dare? !
Hearing everyone's explanations, Gong Tan was a little shaken in his heart.
Although she didn't quite understand the land system created by Zhou Zheng, it didn't matter anymore.
Because he believed that something that even Zhou Ping, Gu Jiang and others could wildly recognize was definitely not simple.
"What the hell, luckily I studied history well in my last life, otherwise how could I be so successful in pretending!?"
Zhou Zheng looked indifferent, gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip, speaking softly in his heart.
The world where Zhou Zheng lived in his previous life had a history of five thousand years and countless land systems.
From the well-field system, to the tax per mu, from the land equalization system, the rent-yong modulation, the government army system, to the one-whip method, from the two-tax law to the square-field equalization tax law, they are all in their own way.
However, these land systems, which have accumulated the skills of our ancestors, are not perfect.
It was not until the emergence of a whip law that merged taxes and levies, distributed land taxes, corvees, and miscellaneous labor on acres, and immediately returned the labor to the land, measured the land, and expropriated by acres, and expropriated in silver, that the land system truly began to become controllable.
But the most complete one is undoubtedly "Standing in the Acres".
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not the world Zhou Zheng lived in during his lifetime, the situation they faced was surprisingly the same.
At this time, the proposal of "Dividing a small person into an acre" is enough to perfectly solve the problem of the land system.
Although Zhou Zheng knew very well that there would be further developments in the land system after "Dividing a Dread into an Acre", these developments were too advanced and the world could not accept them.
"As long as you agree."
"This "Standing in the Land" is my painstaking work. I hope you can study it carefully because of its importance."
"Of course, it will take your efforts to implement the so-called "divide a small family into an acre" in Xiang County."
Zhou Zheng sighed slightly with emotion, and when he looked at Gu Jiang and the others, his expression became more solemn.
And these words caused a strange change in the originally exciting atmosphere.
Many officials present also had their hearts beating rapidly.
They knew that "Dividing a Little into a Farm" was the absolute perfect solution.
But this plan has touched one of the largest interest groups.
Landowner group!
This is undoubtedly taking away the jobs of the landlord group. If it is really implemented, it is very likely to cause all landlords to resist or even rebel!
