Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Xiao Yu knew very well that the process of equalizing the land would not go smoothly. What he moved was the cake of the entire vested interest group, and his supporters were only those people who were originally brought out from Yazhou, and the people at the bottom who had no right to speak.

Even the group of officials brought from Guangzhou were all vested interests, sharing the land, or cutting their own flesh, so it would be strange to support them.

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of a common political ideal and goal, as well as a unified ideological program. The ideological awareness of these vested interests is still too low.Although Xiao Yu often expresses his political ideals in the "Xinghuo" newspaper, how many people can understand and accept them?It's really hard to say.

He does not rely on these vested interests to seize power, but he still depends on them to govern the country, because ordinary people do not yet have the right to speak, and there are too few people belonging to him in the court.

I hope that this group of new scholars can understand their painstaking efforts and continue to work hard.But at present, those who take the selection examination are also children of the landlord class, and these are also vested interests, so it depends on how they choose.

Xiao Yu decided to give them ideological lessons before these officials went down. Although he couldn't guarantee that everyone would be called by him, he should still be able to persuade some people with ideals.

Min Chong has been working out the specific operating regulations of the land equalization system these days, and he has to go into the palace to discuss details with Xiao Yu almost every day, and he is busy until late at night.

This day was busy until late at night, Xiao Yu looked at the hourglass, and it was already the middle of the day, so he said: "Teng Yun can just live in the palace for the time being, so as not to have to travel back and forth."

Min Chong showed a mysterious smile: "No, I have to go back. There are good shows every night when I go back."

Xiao Yu asked, "What play?"

Min Chong laughed: "Since we decided to share the land, people have come to visit my house every day."

"What do you want?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

He has received many memorials these days, all about the land equalization system.Some quoted scriptures to advise him to stop land equalization from various interests, and some advised to limit the number of acres held by landowners, because the landlord class did not want to hand over all the land to the state.All in all, the land equalization system is not supported.

Min Chong said with a smile: "Someone asked me to persuade His Majesty to give up my thoughts, someone gave me a suggestion to equalize the land, and someone bribed me to draw their family out and not participate in the equalization of the land. Now I am the most popular person in front of Your Majesty. Yes, the gift giver refused to leave until late at night. Everyone didn’t avoid others, it’s really funny.”

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile: "Hey and prosperous in the world, it's all for profit. It's hard for you. You have offended so many people by doing this. Why don't you go back? It's so tiring to go back to deal with those people at such a late hour." ah."

Min Chong stretched his waist: "It's not bad, I quite like to see them humbly and helpless with me."

Pei Linzhi, who was sitting on the side, frowned: "You can either stay in the palace, or bring a few more subordinates, so as not to be retaliated against."

Min Chong stood up: "I've brought someone, don't be afraid. Your Majesty, I'm leaving."

Pei Linzhi called Lai Feng: "Take a team to escort Master Min back."

Lai Feng took the order and left.

Xiao Yu rested his chin, looked at Pei Linzhi, and said with a smile, "It's still you who are thoughtful."

Pei Linzhi walked behind Xiao Yu, squeezed his shoulders, and loosened his bones: "It's too offensive to do this. I heard that there are quite a few people visiting the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion these days. Do you think they go to What are you looking for Xiao Yao for?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "Look for him to persuade me? But Ah Yao has never mentioned this matter these days."

Pei Linzhi said: "I'm afraid it's not all about persuasion. I think there should be a lot of people checking his tone and attitude."

Xiao Yu looked up at Pei Linzhi: "What do you mean?"

Pei Linzhi sat down beside him: "What is Xiao Yao's true attitude towards the land equalization system? Does he really support it?"

Xiao Yu tilted his head and thought for a while: "He never objected."

"What about the people around him?" Pei Linzhi asked.

Xiao Yu licked his lips: "You mean, the people around him will oppose Jun Tian?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Our people are all poor and unemployed and just work with us, but the prince's people are different. His subordinates who are born and died should have bought land and land. If they don't want to be equalized, what do you think will happen?" ?”

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Linzhi: "You mean that Ah Yao might rebel?"

Pei Linzhi said: "It's not necessarily that he wants to rebel, what if someone incites him to rebel?"

When Xiao Yu heard this, he didn't know what to say, and murmured, "It would be too hurtful to do this." Even if he had no relationship with Xiao Yao before, he has developed feelings for him these years, and this is the only one. brother.

Pei Linzhi said: "Let's announce the land equalization bill in the court tomorrow. Didn't it mean that there is no restriction on business? They can't be landlords, but they can always be businessmen. When business is active, tax revenue will rise."

This is the countermeasure discussed by Xiao Yu and the others. In agriculture, the land equalization system is implemented, and the policy is relatively tightened. The imperial court cannot only rely on agricultural tax to maintain operations, but also to promote commercial development.

Those aristocratic families have lost a lot of land. It may be difficult to maintain the standard of living in the past. In order to pursue profits, these aristocratic families may put down their face and go into business. Once they pursue profits, their productivity and production technology will be greatly improved.

What the imperial court needs to pay attention to is the supervision of capital and the market, anti-monopoly, price control, and crackdown on illegal operations at any time.

Xiao Yu nodded: "Well, it will be announced tomorrow." This can be regarded as a diversion, at least it gave those aristocratic families a way out.

Pei Linzhi patted his head: "Okay, it's been a busy day, let's go to sleep."

Xiao Yu raised his head and leaned on Pei Lin's shoulder: "It's really hard to be an emperor, it's exhausting every day."

Pei Linzhi kissed him on the forehead: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Yu grabbed Pei Linzhi's neck with his backhand, closed his eyes and said, "I hope I can achieve some results, otherwise it would be too frustrating to work in vain."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be." Pei Linzhi kissed the tip of his nose, reached out to his knees, and hugged him up.

On the next day, Xiao Yu formally announced the law of the land equalization system in the court:

All land is nationalized, including mountains, rivers, agriculture and forestry.Cultivated land is allocated on a per-capita basis, with only the right to cultivate, without ownership, and cannot be sold privately, but can be leased to others for cultivation.

It is not allowed to mine mines without permission and damage the forests. All mining activities must be approved by the local government.Gold, silver, copper, iron, and salt mines are important resources of the imperial court, and private individuals have no right to mine them, only the government can mine them.Large-scale land reclamation must be replanted with corresponding saplings.

The ownership of the homestead is still owned by the state, and the existing real estate is owned by private individuals. Others are not allowed to occupy it, but the house can be bought and sold.If you want to build a house outside the allocated homestead, you need to buy a homestead from the local government.

The land equalization system will be completed within this year and will come into force on New Year's Day next year.

After the bill was announced, all the ministers in the court showed expressions of lovelessness. This is completely irreversible.

Xiao Yu looked at His Highness's disgraced minister and said with a smile, "The imperial court will encourage commercial activities in order to benefit the people's livelihood. You ministers have any opinions on this, and you can speak freely."

Since ancient times, the low position of business has been the lowest among scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce. As for why it is low, it is naturally the result of deliberate suppression by those in power.Because of the low efficiency of ancient agricultural production, low output, meager profits, and quick business profits, once unchecked, the labor force will be heavily inclined to business, which will easily lead to barren farmland and reduced food production, which will affect the national economy and people's livelihood. famine.

So when Xiao Yu mentioned this matter, many of those ministers were fooled.

Min Chong quickly cheered him up: "Your Majesty often says that there is no business and no life, and I deeply agree with it. But you can't relax all commercial activities in one go, and you have to do it step by step. For example, the quota of companies must be gradually issued."

This is also what they negotiated. The commercial scale needs to be controlled, at least not to interfere with normal agricultural production.

Although there is now hybrid rice and the grain output has increased a lot, Xiao Yu has been encouraging the Ministry of Industry to invent and produce more efficient production tools to improve agricultural production efficiency and release more labor.But before the invention of the steam engine, it was still a small-scale peasant economy, and the efficiency was too low.

Pei Linzhi also said: "I think it is necessary to promote commercial activities, and Panyu's business has developed quite well."

Some active courtiers suddenly realized that this was an opportunity. If they lost their land, they could make up for the loss through business to maintain the normal expenses of the big family.

After coming down to court, Pei Linzhi said to Xiao Yu: "These ministers seem to look down on business."

Xiao Yu smiled and spread his hands: "The opportunities are all given to them, if they can't seize them, there is nothing I can do."

He has not prohibited the relatives of the ministers of the DPRK and China from doing business. In the initial stage of commercial development, there must be more encouragement than restriction, otherwise the enthusiasm will be discouraged. As for other systems, they need to be gradually improved.

Now that the land equalization system has been determined, it is time to implement it next.

Of the [-] Jinshi, except for [-] or [-] who stayed in the capital to serve, the rest were sent to various states, counties and counties to implement the land equalization system.

Before leaving, Xiao Yu personally gave an ideological class to the more than 200 Jinshi sent down. In fact, it was not a class, just a chat, and conveyed his own ideals and thoughts on governing the country. He hoped that these Jinshi could also establish a lofty political philosophy. Ideals and goals, create a great cause together with him.

For Confucian disciples, governing the country and the world have always been the most lofty ideals.Especially young people, this kind of ideal has not been eroded and beaten by reality, and it is still very clear and firm. Once encouraged by Xiao Yu, everyone is very enthusiastic.

Xiao Yu was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, no matter what the result was, at least he still had some supporters.

In fact, Xiao Yu underestimated his own influence. Over the years, with the propaganda in newspapers and the narration of storytellers in the streets, his low status in the eyes of the common people is extremely high. Almost everyone knows that he is a strange man full of legends. The society has driven such a big change, and I believe that he is a rare wise king.

What do readers desire most?Naturally, you have to meet a wise king and make contributions.

Although the land equalization bill proposed by the imperial court is a bit aggressive, anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is making unprecedented changes. All they have to do is to carry out the changes. If they succeed, they will be famous in history in the future.

At the end of March, all the promotion officials of the land equalization system set off from Jianye to promote the land equalization system all over the country. They were accompanied by soldiers assigned by the imperial court to protect the safety of the officials.

Su Ying, the only Jinshi in Yazhou, was left behind by Xiao Yu in the household department, and Meng Hong was appointed as a pusher to implement the land equalization system in Yazhou.
