Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is an idea, but even if the rebels are eliminated, there are only more than 100,000 people, including their families, you can get up to 200,000 people to move to the six counties in Jiangbei, and develop local development. The manpower needed is more than that.”

Liu Yu said indifferently: "There are 200,000 to 300,000 people in Jiangbei, and after Nanyan is destroyed, there will be many Han refugees in this land of Qilu going south and entering the relatively safer land in Jiangbei. In this way, There can be millions of people in Jiangbei, which is enough for development and farming. If these people do not divide the land temporarily, but they can leave one-third to 40% of their farming income in a tax-free manner, I believe they will be happy. , we have calculated before, this ratio is enough for more than ten years to buy a large piece of land anywhere."

Liu Muzhi said sternly: "So, Jiangbei's manpower, temporarily using these populations that do not need land allocation, is enough, but after these people accumulate wealth and family business, the aristocratic family will divide land there according to the title. The time is almost up, so let them cultivate their own fields and family business at this time, right?"

Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin: "Do you think it's appropriate to handle this? In the short term, in the medium term, the Jiangbei land will still be owned by a noble family. After a few decades, when the title expires and cannot be retained, part of the land must be recovered. Of course, if the children of the aristocratic family are strong enough to earn a high enough title over the years, they can keep the existing land and manor, but that is the effort of the children and grandchildren themselves."

Wang Miaoyin said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, Brother Yu, I'll say it again, I'm on your side, but the interests of the aristocratic family and the overall system of the family and the world, I need to maintain, the central government power, according to The distribution of nobility ensures that the descendants of the aristocratic family can still have the right to the main family. However, the manors in the countryside and rural areas are mostly tributaries. As for their sons and grandchildren, we can't control them, and the current system of meritorious titles actually has the greatest impact and influence on them."

Having said this, Wang Miaoyin paused and looked at Liu Yu: "Mu Zhi is right, you may think that there is no change now and before, the children of the aristocratic family still occupy a lot of land and manor, but you don't know The thing is, no one dared to ask about the legality of these manor estates before. Ever since you revealed the true face of Qinglong Xichao on the stage, and made public the fact that the Mafia was coercing the world's aristocratic families by controlling the land deeds. , Sun En's Rebellion has added another fire, in fact, now the children of the aristocratic family, especially the tributaries, can no longer occupy a certain manor forever as they used to."

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "But isn't Wudi's manor still mostly in the hands of aristocratic families?"

Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "That's because of the Sun En Rebellion before, those noble family members and tributaries who were killed in the war, because they sacrificed their lives for the country, they can temporarily allow their children and grandchildren to inherit the title of a generation, and rely on these titles to divide the land, but These titles, in the current world of meritorious titles, are removed by death, and are not hereditary as in the past. Therefore, it takes ten or eight years as soon as possible, and twenty or thirty years later. After these people die, if their children and nephews die If you don't make new merits, you won't be able to get a new title, the original title cannot be retained, without the title, the land will be returned to the country."

Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder so many people have followed suit this time to join the military. It turned out to be to protect the family business. Then we should be more ruthless in this regard and gain more military skills, which can speed up the return of the country's land. common people."

Wang Miaoyin hooked the corners of her mouth: "Actually, Brother Yu, you don't know, these tributaries, concubines, relatives who have long been out of the five servers, as the head of the family, we are also very troubled, and they will not give the head of the family any benefits. , and will not pay taxes to us, but will use our name to occupy the fields below, and whenever there is war, we have to pay taxes for the country, and we have to rack our brains to collect rations from these people. "

"For example, this time, if it wasn't for them to be able to protect their land with military merit, it would be difficult to get to the sky if they wanted to collect food and grass from them."

"Sometimes, in the name of ancestor worship, we have to circle them all in front of the ancestor's tablet, tell them three and five to show loyalty and filial piety, let them express their stance in person, and even keep their descendants as hostages, so that they can obey their orders. You don't want to. We thought that we could gain any benefits and benefits from these distant relatives who have long been estranged from each other and cannot be beaten by eight poles."

Having said that, Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and looked directly into Liu Yu's eyes: "Actually the same is true for you, Liu Daolian is stupid and greedy, but you really want to ask him for his property for the Northern Expedition now. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He should still be willing to take part of it. But if it is his son, his grandson, his great-grandson, if your descendants use the name of the Northern Expedition again, let these distant cousins Are they still willing to serve the country with food? This relationship is also what I said about virtue. The family can at least partially recycle the food, grass and manpower, but if the civilians are replaced, they will not be able to restrain themselves after two generations. distant relatives."

Liu Yu nodded: "According to the current system of merit and nobility, no merit will not be rewarded, and no title will last for a long time. Gradually, these people will not be able to keep their wealth forever by relying on relationships. Your noble family only needs to protect your own lineage. It's alright, these side branches, you have to learn to let go slowly."

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "I, the Great Jin, govern the world with filial piety. If you are within the five servitudes and do not take care of your relatives, others will not praise you for your dedication to the country and your selflessness. They will only say that you are ruthless and unrighteous, and your six relatives do not recognize you. So Even if they win the title, the aristocratic family often has to guarantee their brothers and nephews first, not their sons, because their sons will inherit their titles no matter what, and nephews will not have this treatment."

"However, as long as the scale of the war is large enough and there are many people who divide the military merits, there will definitely be more and more newcomers to the title, and the power of the world will gradually be distributed to more people, not just These aristocratic families are now high.”

"Ji slave, the current high-ranking family, in fact, just wants to protect their heirs, at most within the five servers, after the five servers, it is actually not much different from outsiders, and some statements are only for the sake of These distant relatives outside the five servers see, as long as you clarify this point and formulate policies accordingly, you can achieve what you want."
