My Great Qin Cannot Die

From the Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the system of state-owned land has always existed, and it was regarded as the road of the country, while the annexation of land was regarded as a great harm to the country, and all dynasties and dynasties tried every means to suppress it.

After all, if the land is concentrated to a few people, on the one hand, it will reduce the country's tax sources, and on the other hand, it will form a powerful class of tyrants and aristocratic families, posing a threat to the imperial power.

In addition, farmers who have lost their land may also become refugees and take risks to rebel.

This is a cancer, and it is not under human control. Even a high-ranking empire cannot stop it.

Therefore, various dynasties in history have paid special attention to the issue of land mergers. Although mergers cannot be completely eliminated, the government has to redistribute land every other period to avoid excessive concentration of land.

It's just that Ying Zheng also knows that doing this is simply to treat the symptoms rather than the root causes, and to re-allocate resources every once in a while, which requires the appearance of a bright ruler and a strong minister.

Once there is a faint-hearted king, the land acquisition is like a wild horse out of control.

In doing so, although it limits the development of the intensive economy, it limits the progress of industry and commerce. But doing so is conducive to the unity of the empire and the stability of the regime.

Ying Zheng is the lord of the empire. What he wants is the stability of the empire, not serious land annexation. Even in today's Daqin, where the rivers and mountains are in trouble, he will not allow land annexation to happen.

……

Seeing the joy that the First Emperor said, Zheng Guo hesitated for a moment, then turned to Ying Zheng, and said, "Does your Majesty have a good plan for the land annexation?"

Zheng Guo was afraid that the first emperor mentioned land annexation because he saw it in the process of his eastern tour, and he made a decision on a whim and his heart was full of anger.

As a high-ranking person, especially the emperor of this era, you must be calm and rational, and not be easily influenced.

"Have a little idea!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were cold, his whole body was as sharp as a sword, and his voice sounded in the study.

"There is a saying that a turbulent world uses a heavy code. Today's Daqin is like a sickly young man. Naturally, I also have tiger and wolf medicine in my hand, which will completely shake the world."

"Zhi Li Nei Shi, after returning home, the arrangements should be made properly. The straight road needs to be put on the agenda, and the drawing of the road map should be completed earlier, and the same land acquisition should not be underestimated."

"It has to be done..."

"No."

Nodding in agreement, Zheng Guo turned to Ying Zheng and said, "As for this matter, we need to proceed step by step. The minister will let Datian Ling take charge of this matter and try to find out the situation."

"Um."

……

With regard to land mergers, we must be aware of them. Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine for the different symptoms that appear.

Regarding the land acquisition, Ying Zheng naturally had the medicine of tigers and wolves in his heart, and in his opinion, the medicine of tigers and wolves was a bit terrifying.

It was precisely because of a trace of fear in his heart that Ying Zheng bluntly stated to Zheng Guo that he had a plan in his heart, claiming that there was a medicine for tigers and wolves, but he did not reveal the solution.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty perished due to land annexation, the entire later generations have been devoted to solving the problem, and many decrees have been promulgated for this.

As for the military colonies in the Three Kingdoms period, the land-equalization system was implemented from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, the whipping method drafted by Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, and the system of stalls entering the mu during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

Almost all of them are aimed at preventing mergers, but all along, the effect has not been great.

These reforms cannot help consolidate the empire and give it a new lease of life, but can only delay the demise of a dynasty to a certain extent.

It can be said that these series of reforms are all for the purpose of forcibly renewing the luck of an empire and a dynasty.

To really want to disintegrate the land merger, there are only two ways to go. Even so, it is not perfect, but it is much better than before.

Because of this, Ying Zheng's heart was entangled, just like in later generations, the system of state-owned land was implemented in cities, and the system of collective land ownership was implemented in rural areas.

This is equivalent to abolishing the private land system and completely cutting off the source of land mergers, but the function of land as a resource allocation is also lost accordingly, and the efficiency of land output is not high.

Implementing the system of separation of land ownership and use rights throughout the country is the only way to prevent land mergers, and it is too difficult to do so.

The only advantage is that the Daqin Empire is just like the later dynasties. It has just been established. The founding emperor is extremely powerful and has unparalleled prestige.

The most important thing is that, after going through a profound change, everything in the new empire was in a barren state. At this time, a profound reform has a great possibility of success.

After all, at this time, the power is in the hands of the emperor. The people of the empire, who have just experienced the war, clearly remember the consequences of the war.

In addition, the other is to study the Song Dynasty.

In history, the Song Dynasty, like the Great Qin Dynasty, recognized the private ownership of land, but the Song Dynasty went further and more crazy than the Great Qin Dynasty.

They allow farmers to reclaim idle land into their own constant industry, and provide policy support and encouragement~www.wuxiaspot.com~ stipulates that all newly cultivated land will not be taxed, and all states and counties with outstanding achievements in land reclamation will be rewarded.

Inspired by this, all social classes and strata have joined in land reclamation, and people have sought land from waters, tidal flats, and sandy land that used to be idle.

As a result, the area of ​​arable land in the Song Dynasty greatly increased.

Moreover, the private ownership of land has been liberalized, which has greatly improved the efficiency of land use.

It does not suppress mergers and allows people to freely buy and sell land ownership, which leads to fierce competition among land operators. There has been a thousand-year-old land for eight hundred owners. Money sells.

Due to the fierce competition, the home that loves leisure and does not work well and is not good at business will be eliminated. Therefore, both the small peasant family and the landlord class make every effort to maximize the benefits of the land they own.

Because of this, more advanced farming techniques and tools were born and spread and utilized faster, thus promoting the improvement of land use efficiency.

……

Most importantly, such a land policy indirectly promoted the development of industry and commerce.

The land can be intensified without restraint, and the production efficiency is improved, so that some farmers lose their land, some farmers are liberated from the land due to the improvement of efficiency, and a large number of surplus labor force appears.

In this way, it will inevitably stimulate the madness of all walks of life, the development of industry and commerce has greatly promoted the prosperity of the social economy, and the productivity has been rapidly increased.

From Li Kang's memory, the Song Dynasty's navigation, shipbuilding, medicine, craftsmanship, and agricultural technology have all reached unprecedented heights.

If the Great Qin Empire reaches such a level, what he thinks in his heart must not only be on the land of the Central Plains, across the sea, but also the vast rivers and mountains.
