Rebirth of Erlang God Yang Jian

Chapter 123

During the three years of Yang Jian's cultivation, King Zhou did not stop below. He also changed everything through his own efforts to enhance his own strength.

Slavery society has too many disadvantages. Especially since its development, it has become the biggest obstacle to the further development of productivity. Inhuman life and cruel exploitation and abuse have made slaves hate forced labor. They have no choice but to resort to slow work, destruction of production tools, and abuse.

They showed resistance by raising livestock and other methods, and many boldly chose to flee directly. Many bankrupt civilians and small producers would rather live on charity than work for slave owners...

What replaced slavery was the longest feudal system in Chinese history. Feudalism can be said to be the strongest system in Chinese history. The biggest difference between slavery and feudalism is that in the former, slaves live forever and live forever, from generation to generation.

They are slaves, and no matter how hard they work, they cannot change. In the feudal system, the poor could own their own land, and they could also become members of the ruling class through various channels, such as imperial examinations and other systems. The poor had relatively certain rights.

of positivity.

King Zhou first implemented the New Deal in Eastern Qi. The main content of the New Deal was to divide the land in Eastern Qi, most of which was owned by the state. A small part was owned by the heads of each ethnic group. At the same time, the slaves of each ethnic group were released from slavery, turned slaves into farmers, and

The land was granted. The condition was that the slaves must complete the specified production tasks within one year. As long as they could complete it, they would be freed immediately. If they were unable or unwilling to complete it, they could become private domestic slaves of the patriarchs.

In order to further increase the enthusiasm of the patriarchs and slaves, King Zhou's measures allowed the freed peasants to use the land given to them to cultivate and work, and 20% of the income from labor was turned over to the original patriarch. 20% was turned over to the national tax, and the remaining 60%

It is owned by farmers. The farmers' occupation of the land is not permanent, but is temporary for thirty years. As long as the specified annual harvest tasks can be completed, this period of ownership can be increased every year to benefit future generations; if it cannot be completed due to sabotage or laziness, it will be

The period of possession may be reduced or the land may even be taken back. If the land fails due to natural disasters, additional calculations will be made.

In addition to the harvest of their own private fields, each clan chief also enjoys 20% of the farmers' harvest. There is also a time limit for the number of years they can enjoy the land and treatment. It is fifty years. If these clan chiefs who are slave owners can keep their own laws and abide by

If the government decrees issued by the state prohibit the private exploitation of farmers or the occupation of farmers' land, then this authority can also be increased every year, and the state will also provide an additional reward every year. If there are special merits or military exploits, the number of years will be increased and the reward will be greater.

On the contrary, if you make a mistake, the period of enjoying the extra harvest and the land area will be deducted. If it is a felony, all the land will be confiscated when the crime is punished.

To put it simply, as long as you are obedient, you can basically enjoy these privileges forever. If you don't obey, you will get nothing. Although the slave owners are not willing, these are people from the Wu clan, and Yang Jian has the support behind them.

, and they had nothing to say.

Although King Zhou wanted to liberate the slaves, he did not really want to interfere with the process of history. He just liberated the slaves and promoted the evolution of slavery into feudalism, which would increase his own strength and, most importantly, increase his prestige. In this way,

When the Western Zhou Dynasty raised troops, he would not be betrayed by his relatives.

In the past three years, while vigorously developing the economy and construction, King Zhou also attached great importance to official governance and severely punished corruption. He established many supervisory agencies overtly and covertly. After publicly punishing several corruption models and confiscating all their property, he originally

The ministers who were still thinking about luck suddenly understood the emperor's determination. The frightened Fei Zhong even took the initiative to hand over most of his family property to "enrich" the national treasury, and received praises and rewards from the emperor. After this eradication, the phenomenon of corruption and bribery was eliminated.

As expected, he was greatly restrained, and the people clapped their hands and applauded him. How could officials not be in awe of such a wise and wise emperor who also won the hearts of the people?

Slowly King Zhou prepared to invade Dashang territory. Chaoge's new policy was basically the same as that of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, except that certain adjustments were made in the number of years of the preferential policies and the proportion of land ownership for the nobles to appropriately increase the interests of the nobles. But

King Zhou learned from the lessons of the feudal land system of previous dynasties. Economically, he retained a large amount of state-owned land and ensured that after slaves were converted into farmers, individual land ownership existed in large quantities for a long time. In order to retain a large number of individual peasants to serve the country.

The destructive land ownership of the aristocracy must be controlled to avoid repeating the mistakes of history too quickly.

The current situation of Dashan is that most of the fertile land is in the hands of nobles and officials. As for the wasteland, the common people lack the enthusiasm and enthusiasm to reclaim the wasteland and are unwilling to reclaim the wasteland. Therefore, a vicious circle has been formed, and agriculture has been

Slave owners firmly grasp that King Zhou's New Deal uses a large number of slaves to open up wasteland for three purposes. First, to liberate slaves and gain precious freedom. Say goodbye to the most barbaric human social system; second, slaves work for freedom.

Enthusiasm will be unprecedentedly high. The reclamation of large areas of wasteland will not only lay the foundation for the feudal system that will follow. It can also quickly promote the agricultural development of large merchants. Third, it can greatly weaken the control of slave owners led by nobles and ministers over agriculture, providing the basis for further restructuring.

prepare for.

Of course, this seemingly advanced land system has quite some drawbacks after all. The political dependence on the nobility and landlords will make their land ownership stronger in the future. This will then encroach on and destroy the state-owned land ownership and peasant land ownership. As a result,

It destroyed the foundation of the country's economy, resulting in a weak country and poor people. Class conflicts intensified and the dynasty ended.

However, King Zhou did not consider so many long-term issues, because it was not important to him. He did not have time to care about whether Dachang could last long in his future. This reform and the implementation of the New Deal were of far-reaching significance and great influence.

Reform was just a step in his and Yang Jian's plan.

After announcing the implementation of the New Deal, King Zhou looked at the sky and whispered: "Now that the name of benevolence and righteousness is in our hands, it depends on how unjust the princes are. Even if the world is going to be chaotic, we must control it in our own hands."

…”

When questioned in Nuwa Temple, he once proposed to give up his position as Human Emperor to quell the murder, but was rejected by Nuwa Empress. This shows that no matter how stable he had governed the world before, he still could not change the immortals.

Instead of taking advantage of the war in the world to complete the destiny of killing and catastrophe, it would be better for him to light the fuse with his own hands and completely control the war in his hands.

If there is no movement, then it is just a good idea to carry out reforms step by step, first restructuring, and then military affairs, gradually weakening the power of the princes, concentrating power in their own hands, and seeing who still has the strength to commit rebellion. This is exactly what King Zhang Zhou and Yang Jian did early in the morning

Just the agreed route.
