Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu's expression softened a bit: "What do you mean, there will be more and more territory in the future, and the world will become larger and larger, so you can solve the problem of the family's dominance by occupying more space?"

Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, the existing noble families have released almost all their sons and nephews to occupy the manor and land, and they can't make up the Wudi Prefecture. This time, even if they use military merit to give them some places in the six northern counties of Jiangbei, It doesn't hurt either, because before, most of the manors in Jiangbei were managed by aristocratic clansmen. For example, the Pinglu Village we visited was like this. This time, it's just that the title can be more state-owned according to the title. The land, let them take care of it for the time being."

Liu Yu raised his brows: "But this land is granted according to the title, and as long as the title is still there, it can't be taken back. Before, it was only managed by them, and now it is the grant of land, and the nature is different."

Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Giving the land is only enough to get one-third of the food, because Nanyan was there before, the aristocratic family was not willing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in Jiangbei. Development, because they are afraid of Nanyan calling at any time, but it is different now. Once Nanyan is destroyed, Jiangbei will become the mainland and become safe. Then they will definitely increase development and investment, even if it is for their own legal purposes. One-third of the income will also work hard. Therefore, even if these places are given to the children of noble families as nobles, the income of our treasury will definitely increase greatly."

Wang Miaoyin said: "Furthermore, the division of title land is always limited. If you want to acquire land in Jiangbei, you have to give up some of the current manor. For example, if Jiangbei wants to acquire 100 acres of new land, then Wu land may have to be handed over here. About fifty acres of land, some of the manors in Wu land may be sold to local tyrants and landlords in Wu land, or, this time, the soldiers who have won honors due to their merits will also have the opportunity to buy some fields in their hometown that the big family is ready to give up. This kind of opportunity , it may not have been there before."

Liu Yu said in surprise: "However, many soldiers don't know about farming, and it's useless to ask for land. Didn't they all resell those rewarded land to noble families, or let them manage it?"

Liu Muzhi laughed: "Slave, from time to time, people like you and Tie Niu who have made meritorious deeds in the past have never been able to farm the land, and they are all high-ranking like the fifth class. The title of title is divided into dozens or hundreds of hectares, and if the family does not employ tenant farmers, of course it cannot be managed."

"But in this situation, there are thousands of soldiers and soldiers who have made meritorious deeds, and it is very difficult to obtain high-level titles with military merits. It is very likely that they are just some civilian titles that cannot be hereditary. These titles are only divided into dozens of acres of land, and they can be planted by themselves. Moreover, in the past, in order to get the land back into their hands, the clansmen of the aristocratic family used to rob them, especially the water sources and fertilizers for irrigation, as well as seeds and farm implements, forcing everyone to give up these lands, but this time it was different. If the aristocratic family voluntarily gave up these manor fields, how could they still use these tricks?"

Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi: "Then you have to keep an eye on it this time. All laws and titles occupying land must be strictly enforced. This time, I will personally see the newly acquired titles and occupy the land in Jiangbei. We have to take out at least half of the Wudi Manor for replacement, and it’s impossible to let the noble family take up all the cheapness.”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "That's for sure. I dare to tell you this because I have calculated the distribution of these benefits. Wu land has been developed for many years, and some places are not as fertile as the newly developed six counties in Jiangbei. The opportunity to change to a new land is hard to come by, but it is easy to take advantage now, but it will be difficult to change it back in the future. As long as we control where the title is and where the fief is, we can slowly take over the noble family in Wu. Gaomen, developing to the north, is far from the root place that has been entrenched for a hundred years, and many things are easy to handle.”

Wang Miaoyin's mouth pouted softly: "Mu Zhi, what are you talking about, it seems that you are trying to turn the tiger away from the mountain and deal with us, don't forget your father-in-law Jiang's family, who is also from the Wudi family you mentioned. One of them."

Liu Muzhi laughed: "Our noble families all moved from the north, from the Central Plains to Wu, for example, your Xie family came from Chen Jun, while the Wang family was born in Langgan, and now there is a chance to regain the lost land, It's just the time to return home, and the ancestors of my Liu family are the land of Nanyan and Qilu. This is not called "Tiaohu Lishan", but a feat of having the opportunity to regain lost land and ancestral tombs. Wonderful sound, this truth, you It needs to be understood by the major families.”

Wang Miaoyin nodded: "That's the truth, but the land is easy to talk about, what about the manpower? The noble family has newly acquired the land in the north of the Yangtze River, so many people will be needed to farm and take care of it. How to solve this? "

Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu and said, "Ji slave~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What do you think about this? Going back to the old yellow and white two volumes, the way of making customers from generation to generation, it will definitely not work, but these places If it is distributed to aristocratic clansmen, it is unlikely to be distributed to ordinary people for farming. After Nanyan is finished, a large number of Nanyan people will move south to Jiangbei for resettlement. Is it possible to consider arranging these people to enter the aristocratic family first? How about farming in the manor, like the way it was handled in the Murong Clan's pasture in Nanyan?"

Liu Yu frowned slightly: "I have considered this point. In the future, the source of Jiangbei's manpower can have two aspects. One is the demon thief. There are already more than 100,000 people, and they have threatened many people along the way. After we defeat the demon thief, these people will have nowhere to go. We don't have to arrange them as slaves and fighters as we did last time, and we can assign them to Jiangbei. Let them work to atone for their sins, and convert the food and cloth produced every year at the market price, giving them a chance to use this money to buy a field and house that ordinary people can get after ten or eight years.”

Wang Miaoyin laughed: "I really do have you, Brother Yu, this is to count the henchmen of the demon thief in advance."

Liu Yu nodded: "To be honest, those who are still following the demon thieves are the old thieves who would rather die than surrender, and the local slang barbarians they brought out from Guangzhou. These people have the opportunity to come to Jianghuai in the Central Plains. It is not easy to send them back to their place of origin. Therefore, they are placed in Jiangbei, managed by an aristocratic family, and there are also Beifu troops guarding Guangling. It is expected that no one dares to cause trouble here. The Xianbei people of the Murong clan need to be educated, and these Lingnan barbarians also need to learn how to integrate into the lives of our Han people.”
