Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2838: Donate money to buy land

   Zhu Lingshi opened his mouth wide in shock, and could almost swallow a big bowl: "This, this is fine too?"

   Zhuge Changmin returned to God: "Didn’t Dajin prohibit land mergers and sales? Brother Jinu, you can't take the lead in violating this national law, otherwise your reputation..."

Liu Yu said coldly: "Yes, Dajin does forbid the sale of land, and can only allocate land based on knighthood and military merit. However, the regulations are dead and people are alive. If you want to say that everything is handled in accordance with national law, then I would like to ask Jiangnan. How could the eight counties of Wudi all become the manor fields of aristocratic families and natives of Wudi? How many high-ranking knighthoods do you need to occupy a manor of hundreds of hectares and thousands of hectares?"

Having said this, he looked at Shen Tianzi: "Tianzi, Yunzi, Linzi, those Zhuangzi of your Shen family in Wuxing, add up to 1,300 hectares, dare to ask a few of you, including your father and grandfather’s generation. The title, is it enough to occupy these areas?"

Shen Yunzi hooked up the corner of her mouth in embarrassment: "This, this is indeed far from enough, but it is a problem left over from the founding of the country. We, Wu Xing Shen, have these manors for generations since the Soochow Dynasty, and the Yuan Emperor also did so after the Southern Passage of the Yuan Dynasty. Recognizing and retaining these land deeds, as a reward for our Shen family's support of the Sima family and loyalty to the country, although Shen Chong was involved in rebellion, we only accepted the land from his family and did not move other families."

Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. In fact, most of the land in Wudi was distributed to aristocratic families and local tyrants in such a way that violated national laws. In name, these lands were distributed to their subordinates. But in fact, the state cannot directly collect taxes from these farmers, and these farmers pay taxes and rent farm tools from these families, not from the country. Over time, this has become a common practice. From the legal situation, The imperial land deeds left by the Yuan Emperor when he founded the country are proof that the state allowed these lands to be privately owned by these families and local tyrants."

   Shen Linzi quickly said: "Yes, our family also has the land deed granted by Emperor Yuan when he founded the country. Otherwise, I am afraid that these lands will be taken away by others early."

Zhuge Changmin nodded: "Wu, or Jingzhou is indeed the case, but that was left over from the founding of the country. This Qingzhou is different. This is a newly expanded land. It must follow the national law. It stands to reason. The place that comes down must belong to the court, including the land, and it will also belong to the court. You can't talk about private transactions."

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is easy to handle. The court divides land. It doesn't mean that it is given to people. According to the laws of the Dajin Dynasty, the land is divided by nobility. Those with merit are given priority. This is our current national law, right, Changmin ."

Zhuge Changmin smiled and said: "Yes, you set this rule by yourself. You can't take the lead in violating it. Those noble families, their titles have already been used on the land of Wudi and Jiangbei. How can you come to Qingzhou again to grab territory? ?"

   Liu Yu hooked the corner of his mouth: "This title does not have the rules of the court. You can buy the kind of non-hereditary people who are exempted from death. The so-called admission to the millet to worship the Lord has already happened."

   Zhuge Changmin slapped his thigh abruptly: "Ah, why did I forget this. That is to say, as long as the family members are willing to pay and pay, they can exchange these vain lords from the imperial court?"

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, during the Battle of Feishui, Xie Xianggong did this. He gave out a virtual prince to obtain donated food from the major families. This is how we formed our Beifu Army. Although we no longer need to conquer their food and grass when we set up the army, because many children of the family, such as Yu joined the army, they also went with the army, but the awards after the war, I am afraid that many people cannot sit still and want Take a price and get a piece of the post-war benefits."

   Zhu Lingshi said dissatisfiedly: "Why let them take advantage of this, and why should we give it to those noble families like this? This is not fair!"

   Liu Yu sighed: "Ling Shi, then I want you to settle here in the future and move your family here. The court will give you the corresponding land according to your title. Would you like it?"

Zhu Lingshi opened his mouth, still shook his head and said, "This, I'm afraid it won't work. The foundation industry of my Zhu family is now in Jiankang. I am definitely not willing to come here. Of course, if I become an official here, General, led troops to garrison, that is only to obey the arrangements of the court, but my family is also unlikely to live here, let alone be here as a long-term foundation."

Liu Yu nodded: "That's it. Everyone's home is in the south, not here. I am afraid that after the fight, most people will return to their hometowns, except for a few bachelors who want to stay in Qingzhou for a long time. Besides, I’m afraid there are not many people who want to stay. Since the land here is not occupied by everyone, why not let the family members who pay money and pay for their brothers to come here to occupy land and buy property?"

Tan Shao frowned, "Isn't this land of Qingzhou going to be distributed to the local Han people, or it should be returned to the country, so that it can be distributed to refugees who have no land in other places, like overseas Chinese whose ancestral home is in Qingzhou? People, you can return here, why sell this land to the great families in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Liu Yu sighed softly: "Everyone, you are all high-ranking generals, and you will gradually become the guardian of the party in the future. For example, Xiang Azi is already a state governor. In a few years, probably you will all be in this position one by one. Mu Zhi, you said, this Qilu land can be safely left to the local powerful management such as the Han family, the Gao family, and the Feng family. Will the Pilu family, who was the first to return to the government, govern?"

Yang Muzhi furrowed his brows and shook his head: "No, if they are returned to manage Qingzhou, it will be the same as before. These local clans only consider family interests and are not loyal to the country. Who is strong? Whoever they are attached to, even if Dajin establishes political power here, it will be emptied for them and cannot control the grassroots here. We, Tai Goats, have lived in Qilu for hundreds of years. We are fully aware of the actions of these local tycoons. To make the land of Qilu truly become the site of the Great Jin, a large number of southerners must be allocated land here. It is best to leave thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and their families to take root here. Only in this way can it truly be possible. Here is the order from the local bank."

Liu Yu laughed: "But didn't everyone just say that the family business is in the south, and you will go home after the war. You don't want to stay here. Then Muzhi, you said, to do what you just said, you have to How to do?"

Yang Muzhi hooked his mouth: "Only the land allocated by the state after the war, especially the large tracts of land and pasture left by the Xianbei people after they moved away, will be allocated to the Han immigrants who will come to Qingzhou. A large number of such immigrants have come to Qingzhou to take root. I am afraid that only aristocratic families have this power."
