Chapter 732

"Gentlemen, the great man must not set such a precedent. Our interests cannot be damaged. Once this example is opened, it will inevitably harm future generations!"

When Xu Zheng returned to the Taiwei office, he called a group of generals to brief those who were not qualified to participate in the meeting on what was discussed at the meeting.

No matter how much land is distributed, the military's share will not be less. Even the military may gain great benefits. That is what all parties must do to let the equal field pass. No one can ignore the existence of the military.

As a lieutenant, Xu Zheng is eager to gain benefits, but his integrity has not been lost. As the first person in the military, the first thing to think about is that once there is no credit, or even no need to pay, he can get something free, so what's the use of struggle?

It has really developed to the point of free land sharing. Xu Zheng can understand one thing without much thought. It is bound to hit the military's desire to fight, and the collapse of the military merit Baron is also close at hand. The army has no sense of war. Once the military merit Baron collapses, the first thing is his dereliction of duty.

"In the pre Qin Dynasty, the emperor died because of the collapse of his military exploits, and in the early Han Dynasty, the country collapsed because of the equalization of land. I will never do such things to dig the foundation of the Empire, nor will I allow anyone to do so!"

The military exploits of the Qin Empire collapsed. The murderer was not others, but the first emperor Ying Zheng. After the army swept through the eight wastelands and six harmonies, he did not fulfill his promise to the military, that is, he was quite stingy in reward. In fact, he is not willing to be stingy. In fact, the land held by the state is not enough to be distributed to meritorious soldiers, so the reward is not authentic enough.

The Qin Empire was unified because of Shang Yang's reform, but it was also because Shang Yang's reform was doomed to the destruction of the country after unification. Not only because the first emperor was stingy with rewards, but also related to whether he could continue to expand. Once he lost the direction of expansion, the destruction of the country became inevitable.

The Han Empire inherited the Qin system, that is, the national system and system were largely the same as the Qin Empire. This is also reflected in the implementation of the military merit baron. The Baron enjoys various benefits and treatments, which ensures that there will be a group as the "basic plate" under any circumstances. As long as those "basic plates" still have the determination to guard the country, no matter how bad things are, someone will stand up in case of an accident.

Empress Lu's equal field is a great welfare release for those with nobility. In order to get the country out of the downturn, we have to do so. At that time, she was also faced with a situation that, on the premise of relying on people for everything, too many people held more land than they could cultivate. Unlike the Qin people, the Han people had many slaves who could drive farming. In order not to make holding too much land a burden, they allowed private sales of private land.

Once land can be bought and sold privately, it naturally opens the door for land merger. In good times, few people are willing to sell it, but they can't stand the unexpected weather. The capital that people can't stand to sell land to maintain their livelihood has become a choice. The big families and giants with sufficient capital have repeatedly increased the number of land under their name to a certain extent, That is, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people.

The characteristics of the farming nation, and then the society under the small-scale peasant economy... To put it bluntly, the environment that highly values business and the society that does not encourage the development of handicraft industry, whether people hold land or not is a key to whether people can live.

When most people become landless, they have no other means to make a living. What can they expect except to have a big mess and break everything, so that a new round of unpaid land equalization can take place?

Xu Zheng didn't think so thoroughly. He had only one starting point, that is, he would never allow anything to attack the army's belligerent heart. He looked at a group of seemingly overwhelmed generals and schools and said, "no matter what you're thinking, I'll give you a military order and do my best to block the attack. We must not make it a reality to equalize the land without compensation!"

Do any generals think it's good to equalize land without compensation? There must be. They also know that no matter how the free equal field is operated, no one can bypass the military. Those who want the free equal field to pass must pay off the military. The best way is to give the military enough benefits in this equal field feast.

"The general fully agrees with what the Taiwei said!" LV Tai glanced back and forth at many colleagues and said calmly, "no matter what else. I would have been unable to figure it out. I can get it without paying. It has never been so since ancient times!"

In all aspects of the Han Dynasty, the military enjoys first-class treatment and vested interests. At the same time, they will naturally stand on the side of giving interests. With the promotion of national righteousness, they have become a sharp blade for outward expansion and a solid shield for guarding the country.

For example, there are not no examples in the history of the state of Han today. If it is too far away, just talk about the Han Army in Liu Che's period. Why are they willing to shed all their blood? In addition to Liu Che's personal charm, it is driven by his hatred for the Huns and the reward for his war achievements.

"Ha ha..." after a strange laugh, Li Tan said, "it's not enough to get land after joining the army. Do you want to get land for free?"

Joining the army and obtaining farmland is a concession of the military to the civil affairs system, or a compromise of Liu Yan in the face of a large number of people who really have no land. This policy has ensured that the vast majority of groups can own land. In fact, in some ways, groups willing to serve the country have obtained land.

It is not difficult to join the army in the Han Dynasty. It is difficult to become a member of the field corps. The huge County soldier system is actually a welfare release.

The last time the military agreed, they thought the county soldiers were their own people, so giving some benefits didn't seem to be thrown out of the bowl. In addition, Liu Yan said something for the civil affairs system. The boss spoke, and the bill could only be passed.

County soldiers are a kind of corvee system. When the corvee period expires, they will return to the people. What officials of the civil affairs system want is for the people to obtain land and ensure the stability of the people.

In fact, the state holds a large number of land, but the state leases land to the people. In general, the tax rate of land leasing is about 10% higher than that of private ownership. In terms of tax alone, the tax received from renting land is higher, but the most important thing for local officials is not tax, but whether the county under their jurisdiction can retain people.

To put it bluntly, the land will not run away. Where the land under his name is, the person will not move his nest all his life. If he rents the land, he can rent it everywhere. With good luck, he can rent a good place where private land is inferior.

"The prime minister, the imperial envoy and the doctor... All spoke about it." Xu Zhengcai would not be frightened. He stood up and said forcefully: "if they think this can compromise the military, they are wrong!"

"Do you want to..." before Li Tan finished his words, he 'hey hey' smiled a few times and said, "let the Hussars general return to the dynasty?"

Ran min was a restless man. He didn't stop in Chang'an for a few days after the reporting period. He asked for orders to go to the grassland outside Yanmen. He said he wanted to stroll. In fact, he took a thousand cavalry around the grassland and played with those unregistered grazing tribes. He is the only one who can do this.

Xu Zheng also laughed. With this smile, even the generals who don't know where the smile is also laugh, otherwise they are not sociable.

If the military loves civil servants most, it is undoubtedly ran min.

Ran min is righteous when he is reasonable. When he is not reasonable, he can also act like "Lao Tzu is reasonable". Even Ji Chang, the prime minister, can't find Liu Yan for many times. The rest, including sang Yu and others who have been wronged the most times, can't turn around and leave immediately in the face of Ran min's enemies. Then smile bitterly and bow your head and don't talk back. If ran Min talks back, he may do it, that is, he will be beaten so that he can't take care of himself.

"There's no need to find Yongzeng." Xu Zheng didn't feel his authority was challenged. He said bluntly: "the Hussars general is our big killer. It seems that the military is small to play early."

Ran min is not a threat to Xu Zheng, but the system formulated by Liu Yan has determined that no one can never move in one position.

The official system of the state of Han is that three gongs and nine Qings are elected for up to three consecutive terms. One term is four years and can be re elected three times. After that, they should give up their talents. Xu Zheng has been a Taiwei since the first year of Yuanshuo. When he arrived in the ninth year of Yuanshuo, it happened to be the last year of his second term. He was confident of his three term. Who became the captain of the post? Liu Yan has the final say.

Why is there a "restricted reelection" tenure system? To put it bluntly, after taking office for three times, the position is allowed to give play to others. After a person's term of office, he can continue to aim at that position. If he can be seen, he will be capped for three terms again, and this cycle will continue.

If you have been in office for three times, you need to leave office. If you can take office again after that, it is not unnecessary to fart. In fact, it is to show that the official position is not lifelong, and then to increase the authority of the ruler.

Why does the emperor have to be lifelong? That's two things. If the emperor also talks about the term of office, if the emperor is willing, all officials and all living beings in the world are not willing.

After Xu Zheng issued the mobilization order, he waved his hand to let the fuck go, leaving a general of the "Zheng" level.

"Let's discuss today..." Xu Zheng lost his toughness just now and looked very worried: "what does it mean?"

In the last recruitment order, cultural people from various places gathered in Guanzhong. Later, it evolved into people who think they can do it. Although four or five months have passed, people continue to come to Guanzhong. Even because an individual was recruited by Liu Yan, Li Mao became a doctor of speech, and he can teach the children of the emperor, which is Tianda's attraction to those who feel capable.

There are many cultural people, and this meeting can't stop. There is no lack of talkers on one occasion after another every day. Everyone has made every effort to seize the opportunity to show his superiority in talent. Increasing fame in the cultural people group is, on the one hand, more to attract Liu Yan's attention so as to ascend to the sky step by step.

It is common to use "conventional" means to improve fame and hope to attract Liu Yan's attention. There is no lack of people who want to find something strange. The means used by those people are extremely useless. They have no brain to attack Miyagi and have to give advice. They are even milder than those who can't see and commit suicide in public.

Liu Yan's attitude this time deserves the military's concern. Xu Zheng is extremely afraid that Liu Yan, as the boss, will stand on the side of free land equalization. His concern is not aimless. Otherwise, what will cultural people be allowed to discuss?

"Shouldn't it?" Li Tan thought about it for a while and said, "today, with great ambition, how can you forget to expand your territory?"

By the way, no one in the Han Dynasty, whether officials or people, has used "King" or "King" to call Liu Yan, but changed the name of "today". The title of "Jinshang" extends from the "son of heaven", which is more used by them to express Liu Yan's expectation of becoming emperor as soon as possible.

"The world is boundless." LV Tai has seen the world map more than once. His breath will become heavy every time he looks at it. As a military general, he is still eager to sweep the real world. He naturally believes that Liu Yan will not let go of the unification of the world: "there is absolutely no intention to attack the morale of the army."

It must be said that the world map drawn by Liu Yan not only draws the continents, The shape of the eastern end of the world island is relatively reliable (with reference), and the rest is completely unreliable. Anyway, it means that those continents are enough. As for the islands, he has some impressions of the major islands and island chains in Asia, and the rest are casually painting.

"Today, we should unify our thoughts in order to unify the real world." Li Tan's mind has always been very active, and he guessed: "it should be to touch the qualities of those cultural people, to find people or theories close to the concept, and to see what public opinion will appear."

"It's reasonable to say so." Xu Zheng thinks that Liu Yan doesn't know the disadvantages of free land equalization. It can even be said that he is encouraging people to break everything from time to time and do it again. In his eyes, Liu Yan is an absolutely wise loyal object. He laughed at his thoughts. He relaxed and said with a smile: "we can guess that they (referring to civil servants) can also guess. They will certainly make people cater to the present. If you have something in them, you can also get involved."

Who doesn't have two or three things, and which country's important officials don't work? The state system also allows the title to have family ministers. In the final analysis, after the status has been established, there will basically be their own small groups, which can not be avoided.

"It must be mixed." Li Tan has his own saying: "it's our duty to recommend for the country."

LV Tai said with a sense of responsibility, "you should be so! You dare not make a big man bury the danger of overturning."

In the Han Dynasty, state-owned small groups were allowed. It's hard to say what Liu Yan was thinking, but if small groups evolved into pests harmful to the country, at least Liu Yan is still alive.
