Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2871: Tweeting the sons of family business

Liu Yu’s eyes were shining, and his voice was powerful and powerful: "Fatty, you and I know that even if the country’s laws and regulations are stricter, people who are targeted by those laws and regulations will do everything possible to exploit the loopholes for their own benefit, so we are formulating these laws and regulations. , I'd rather be stricter, and try to limit where you can take advantage of it."

Liu Muzhi sighed: "That said, but after all, this kind of major reform that hasn't been seen in a thousand years still requires time for preparation. Now Dajin is not peaceful, and it can even be said that it is difficult to make internal and external relations. After successfully destroying Nanyan, there are a lot of troublesome things to deal with, the hidden Tiandao League in the south, the new land occupied by Qingzhou and the disposal of hundreds of thousands of Hus, the status of the Han Dynasty, and The new round of rewards for meritorious soldiers and the ensuing large numbers of children from aristocratic families to the north to enclose land and occupy fields are both very troublesome to deal with. Even the high rewards you promised also require the elites of the family to pay. Donate, if you mention this reduction to the people at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to produce a single copper plate."

Liu Yu hooked the corner of his mouth: "Everything has a sequence. After the Nanyan is destroyed, the rewards and knighthoods of the soldiers will be dealt with. The granting of this land is still linked to the knighthood. We can try to reduce the title. The system for the people, but it is not implemented all at once, and a buffer period is given. For example, if a family has multiple titles, only one person can realize the title, and the titles of other people will become virtual titles, just like the eighth-level people in the Qin and Han Dynasties. , It stands to reason that it is higher than the fourth rank, and can be exempted from taxation, but later it cannot be exempted and become a virtual noble. The same can be done for the noble. For the time being, the non-professed noble can not enjoy the share of land. , The benefits of tax exemption. As a transition."

   Liu Muzhi's brow furrowed: "Will the world be discredited by turning a real title into a virtual title?

   Liu Yu laughed: "Fatty man, do you still remember Xie Xianggong's change of food division?"

Liu Muzhi stretched his brows and murmured: "Yes, since the Qin and Han dynasties, one-third of Shiyi’s income has been attributed to the nobles, and two-thirds have been handed over to the court and the treasury, but thank you After Xianggong took office, because there were too many false titles at the time and the state finances could not make ends meet, this one-third of the income was changed to one-ninth, which was the first county of 1,800 households. The tax income from the food towns of 600 households will only be paid to 200 households. If this is not the case, the imperial court would not have money and food to form the predecessor of the Beifu Army."

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, even Xie Xianggong realized that at that time, because of the excessive number of titles, he could no longer support the revenue of the treasury, which had greatly affected the normal operation of the country, so he resolutely took the knife from his own Xie family. With the tax reduction of knighthood, because he is fair and leads by example, this decree has been implemented, and the same is true for our decree on the abolition of knighthood."

"Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there has always been a distinction between high and cold, and Gaomen often refers to this kind of aristocratic family. Han people are ordinary people without nobles and no scholarship. Since the Great Jin Dynasty, the people have been abolished. Sir, the status of the people is further reduced, and the gap between the high and cold will be deeper and deeper. If it were not for the Yongjia Rebellion, the north fell into the hands of the Huren, and the Great Jin needed elite soldiers and wise men to defend the country. I'm afraid that you and I have nothing to do, and I won't even have the chance to get ahead."

"This situation can no longer continue. Just like the beasts raised at home, once they are pampered and fed, they will no longer have the basic skills of predation. This is not a good thing for them. At the bottom of the baron, there is no room to seek power. He can only eat and die, rely on these nobles and the allocated land, and rely on the squeezing of dealers and tenants to make a living. What is this not a vampire?"

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Is it possible to use Emperor Wu's Tweet Order to temporarily let all the children in the family be assigned to the land and land under the father's title, but only one eldest son can attack the title, and the others? As a result, although the title is retained, the land is greatly shrunk. If there are three or four sons, unless another meritorious contribution is made, the eldest son’s field will be the same as the previous three. By a quarter, although the other masters have obtained the land, they have no princes, and they have to bear the taxes. It is also difficult to accumulate, and the land is taken back to the country after death. Do you think this is a better way to deal with it? ?"

   Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "You really have you, fat guy, you can think of this!"

Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly: "You don't know what the scholars think. In fact, many people don't think that they will get money for generations without success. They just feel that if their generation can't leave something for their children and grandchildren It’s because you can’t face your ancestors after you die, and you don’t have the face to enjoy the sacrifices of your descendants. After all, you have enjoyed the benefits but you can’t pass them on to your descendants.

"So the status of this Shijue~www.wuxiaspot.com~ should be the bottom line of most high-ranking families. The newly promoted meritorious soldiers may not care much about this if they take Shijue, but the old families are very concerned. If left over, even if the occupied land is greatly reduced because of this kind of favor, it is acceptable. At least, this will not cause a large-scale rebound in the short term, and it seems that other people who do not have the right to inherit can just inherit it. A large amount of land will also be very happy. In this way, they can be divided and disintegrated within the family, and they will not be allowed to confront you as a whole. This is probably the only solution I can think of."

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good. Originally, I was still thinking about establishing a distinction between the founding knight and the fifth-class knight, so that the founding knight could continue to inherit, and let the fifth-class knight descend on his behalf until he became a folk, but there is This method of yours seems to be unnecessary, but in this way, if the aristocratic family only gave birth to one offspring, wouldn't it be possible to divide the land?

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "How bitter the world is, you are the son of a high-ranking family. I don't know which day will come and die early. Therefore, powerful people have more children and more blessings. This is also to prevent this risk. It is true that one does not need to separate the field, but the risk becomes extremely great. Once the son dies, the country will be eliminated and all the land will be recovered. Such a risk, I am afraid that most people dare not take it. Besides, this family Nobles are all wives and concubines. Sons are often counted as five or ten. How can there be only one pass?"
