Chapter 1022 Land Questions

Looking at the thousands of China, the changes in dynasties are all due to land issues.

The merchants coveted the wealth of the Central Plains and seized the King of Xia; the Zhou people were in the western front and also coveted the land of the Central Plains, so they raised their troops and went east.

The Qin Dynasty was named for its military merits, and its core was land.

The collapse of the Tang Dynasty was the decline of the military system, and the decline of the military system was the decline of the military system because the nobles, officials, and powerful people swallowed up the land of the military, resulting in the decline of the military power and the rise of the military system.

However, the current situation is different from the environment in the early Han Dynasty, the early Ming Dynasty, and the early Qing Dynasty.

Generally, the new dynasty was to eliminate the excess population, the sharp land contradictions were alleviated, the old ruling class collapsed, and the new ruling class was established.

Now, I have also said that the imperial guards and bureaucrats should change the soup and not change the medicine, and continue to become officials after changing their outfits.

This means that in the troubled times, the powerful people not only did not lose money, but instead continued to use their power to carry out land annexation.

Those bureaucrats are like officials in Western countries in modern society, and the emperor is like an elected president. No matter who becomes the emperor, their interests remain unchanged and they still do things.

However, the advantage of this is that as long as you conquer the capital, you can gain complete bureaucracy and quickly establish rule over the country.

The disadvantages are even greater.

This means that Li Jia is very happy that he can make a big cake and that he has the right to distribute it with the knife. As a result, he found that only some scraps were left for him to divide.

The inability to give a large amount of land means that the court cannot penetrate the hearts of the people and gain stable hearts of the people.

This is why, less than 60 years after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Qingli reform was urgently carried out and the cake was redistributed because it had never been distributed.

The situation in the Central Plains today is that a large amount of land is deserted, and many people are displaced and become refugees.

Many powerful landlords constantly merged with rich land and continued to merge mature land from the people.

Therefore, during the Song Dynasty, the slopes, ditches, and mountains that the people of the Han and Tang Dynasties looked down upon were also reclaimed in large quantities.

After the land reclamation, the mature fields were plundered by the powerful and became refugees a few years later. Then the Song Dynasty transferred these refugees as troops and the country distributed money to support them.

"That means that the only things I can teach fields are the barren places in the south, and the huge territory of the Central Plains, there is not much field for me at all."

Li Jia suddenly realized that, as a founding king, he actually encountered the problem of a king who lost his country:

How to face land annexation.

However, he is different here.

Because after the Tang Dynasty reformed the two tax laws, taxes were no longer collected by the head, but by the amount of land, because the number of people would change, but the land was wherever the land was, and no matter how much land was annexed, it would still have to be paid.

That's what the Song Dynasty thought, so it changed its previous dynasty and no longer curbed land annexation.

However, it ignores one thing that officials will use their power to evade taxes frequently.

In order to weaken the local government and centralize the central government, it is necessary to set up a wide range of officials to separate power, and thus the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was studied.

The more officials there are, the more land they will evade taxes, and then they will be suppressed by the remaining self-cultivated farmers, which will create refugees and become military personnel, which will lead to redundant soldiers and redundant expenses.

Too many soldiers is useless, too much money is not enough, and too much official position is not honest.

This is the origin of the three redundant problems in the Song Dynasty.

This is a dead cycle.

"No, I'm going to discuss the land issue. Why do I have so little land in my hands?"
