Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

For Liu Bei.

If we talk about before, we just laughed at Guan Yu, understood Guan Yu, and became Guan Yu.

So now Liu Bei, it can be said that after "becoming Guan Yu", he will make great progress and take a further step to surpass Guan Yu.

At least, the brand new "rebellious son" Liu Chan in front of him has gone further and further in "driving" his father crazy, becoming more arrogant and mature...

He almost forced Liu Bei to draw his sword and strike at him... and put several swords on Adou's back.

Zhuge Liang frowned and thought to himself: "Even though he worshiped Yun Qi as his teacher, Adou still only learned a superficial lesson... Yun Qi and his father Guan Yu were at war with each other because Yun Chang was too arrogant. This was Yun Chang's only weakness. That's why... Yun Qi used words to provoke him and used actions to prove his mistake, but Xuande..."

——"Xuande...it's different, Adou, Adou, if what you say makes sense, your father...will listen, he will definitely listen!" Even in the past, I was just a humble villager in the mountains, but in Longzhong, he listened humbly to my words all night long! A whole night! If it was helpful to Xing Han, how could he... miss it? How could you be willing to miss it? 』

With this in mind, Zhuge Liang wanted to help Liu Chan, at least... speak for him, and give his lord Liu Bei a step down.

——"My father is not worthy!" 』

Such rhetoric is still too hurtful!

Just when Zhuge Liang was about to speak, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door, and then Zhao Yun came in first to report, "Lord, Zhuge Military Advisor, everyone has brought..."

Well…

Zhao Yun's words shocked Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

What the two of them thought of at the same time was - "So soon?" 』

Indeed, just now, Liu Chan said that the tenant farmers had voluntarily farmed for him and could not be driven away. Liu Bei had a "complete disbelief" attitude towards this, so he sent Zhao Yun to invite...

Please come back...

But...it seems that these people have to be gathered from General Zuo's Mansion to the outskirts of the city. No matter how you look at it, it's not that fast, right?

As if Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei's question, he quickly added.

"When these peasants heard that Mr. Adou was blamed by the lord, they were all worried and guarded the door of General Zuo's mansion. There were hundreds of them... The general asked them to elect more than ten representatives to follow the general into the mansion! Let the lord ask Find out."

Well…

——"Are you waiting at the door specially? 』

——"Is Adou worth their wait?" 』

When Liu Bei was astonished...

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and then a dozen farmers rushed in on their knees and crawled. When they saw Liu Bei, they all knelt down with a "click"...

These people were all in ragged clothes and covered in earthy smell. Even from a distance, Liu Bei could smell the smell of urine... If some of them weren't frightened to pee, it must be because they have been living with fertilizers all year round.

Seeing them kneeling down one by one, Liu Bei stared at them. Their skin color was extremely dark and rough, there were many scars on their arms, and there were thick calluses... These attires undoubtedly... proved that they were 'farmers' identity…

These cannot be faked!

Liu Bei has just confirmed their identities...

The old man at the head had opened his mouth hoarsely.

"General Zuo...you...you..."

This old man started...

Suddenly, the farmers behind him became excited and pushed the old man to the back.

Obviously, their words were also very urgent. While they were squeezing... they were shouting to the farmers next to them in vulgar words: "My mother-in-law, don't squeeze, don't squeeze... Give way, let me come first, first." Let me say..."

A farmer next to me replied: "Straight bitch, we are all complaining to Zuo Gong, you squeeze an egg..."

"Brother, give in, give in. The kindness you show me is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Even my own father cannot do this. I...I must tell Mr. Zuo personally..."

These farmers were like crazy, scrambling to tell Liu Bei what they said.

Liu Bei did not dislike the vulgarity of these farmers at all, and even acted like a courteous corporal. He pulled a dark-skinned old man who was kneeling, and his tone was as gentle as possible: "Speak slowly... You all speak slowly, today we are here In this lobby, everyone can speak, let’s do it one by one..."

"How could Master Zuo know? If Master Zuo hadn't rescued me from the sea of ​​fire, how much more inhuman treatment would we have suffered!"

The old man just finished speaking...

Someone then said: "Yes... It is not an exaggeration to say that Young Master Liu Chan is our food, clothing and parents. We have nothing to repay for the Young Master's great kindness. We are just like cows and horses... cows and horses..."

"Zuo Gong... I am from Qinglinkou Village. The farmers in our village... are envious of me from top to bottom. They are envious that I have found such a benevolent master. Since I got this master, I also have the land. The wife who ran away is back, and the children are back, and the master’s kindness to me is like reincarnation. Not to mention farming for the master, even if I die for the master, I...I won’t frown!”

"Zuo Gong, there are still hundreds of people in my village. When they heard that I was farming for the young master, they all cried and begged me to introduce them. They also wanted to work for the young master... Zuo Gong, how has the young master ever bullied us? Young Master... Young Master He has nothing but kindness for us, and it’s not too late for me to be grateful!”

this…

These words reached Liu Bei's ears. Although his face remained as cold as ever, his heart... suddenly became hot.

——"Are these...these farmers speaking for Adou?" 』

——'These farmers...what did Adou do to them? Only then can they be so grateful and serve so wholeheartedly...without any complaints! 』

In fact, not only Liu Bei, but also Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, and even Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Zhuge Ke and others... all looked puzzled.

What the hell is going on?

Although they don't know what happened? But the scene in front of me.

Undoubtedly... let them be sure that this must be a big event, a big event related to farmers, cultivated land, and Young Master Liu Chan.

Realizing this, Liu Bei let out a deep breath, and putting aside Adou's attitude just now, it at least proved that... this kid... did not do anything bad. Although he was a bit naughty, at least... he was still an honest person!

For Liu Bei, who had "benevolence" deeply engraved on his face and heart, a son who was uneducated but was kind and kind was more important than anything else.

"You all stand up..." Liu Bei personally helped the farmers up. "Did I ever say that I should blame Adou? Since...he is kind to you, and I am not a stupid person, how can I blame him? Come...Give me These people brought some benches and sat down...sit down..."

Some people say that Liu Bei's benevolence is just an act.

But if a person can pretend to be "benevolent and virtuous" for a lifetime, then he is not pretending, and his benevolence is the most real one!

"I, Liu Bei, thought that I was incompetent in educating my children...I thought that the children I taught were causing trouble for you, but I never thought...Although my teachings, Liu Bei's, were not good, Adou's heart was pure, and the things he did...were better than those taught by me. Okay...it's just that I don't know something..."

Liu Bei's gentlest tone was directed at these skinny farmers.

"I don't understand, why do you all have to speak for him? What did Adou do to make you so grateful? To seek justice for him like this?"

In fact, not only Liu Bei had this question, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng were even more curious about it.

Speaking of which, they divided the land into acres and abolished the number of heads.

But...it seems that apart from the farmers' enthusiasm for having babies, their enthusiasm for agricultural production has not increased, let alone their gratitude for the new decree.

On the contrary, Adou...

What did he do? Have you just received the gratitude of these farmers as a matter of course?

This... Faced with Liu Bei's question, these farmers looked at each other. Some of them opened their mouths, but finally closed them again, as if they were about to speak but were hesitant.

"What? Can't you say it? Are you threatened by something?"

Liu Bei's eyes turned cold...

Liu Chan blurted out directly, "What can't be said? What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid... whatever my father asks, you just say what you say. If the sky falls, I will hold you up!"

As he spoke, Liu Chan pinched his waist, as if he was the leader of these farmers.

this…

Finally, the leader of the old man spoke, "Actually, it was the Young Master who gave us the farmland..."

Divide land?

Divide farmland?

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Fazheng were all shocked...

——"Did Adou actually allocate farmland to farmers?" 』

You know, this is a big deal.

Considering that Liu Chan collected all the land hidden by the big landowners, the amount of cultivated land would be huge and terrifying.

If we follow the anti-Wei land policy, we will implement "counting cattle and losing grain" and "military and civilian villages"...

Even so, the farmers cultivated the land for Ni Wei and had their own share of the harvest. This and so on... are enough to make farmers all over the world grateful.

But Adou was more direct... just arrived... and divided the cultivated land directly?

When Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others were doubtful.

"How did the Master ever allocate the cultivated land to us..." Another farmer retorted: "The Master just allocated the cultivated land to us for cultivation according to the population of our family..."

this…

Following the farmer's words, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others became even more confused.

What do you mean...not giving them farmland?

What do you mean, just allocate these cultivated lands to them for cultivation?

Isn't this...different?

"Hey... let me tell you!" Liu Chan's anxious toes were about to grab a house, and he said directly: "Dad, Master Zhuge, Military Advisor Fazheng... these farmers are right, I will indeed All the land is allocated to them for farming, but...these farmland does not belong to them, but...each of them has signed a contract with me, and they will farm, produce, and operate in accordance with the contract. The income from farming, production, and operation... They only need to pay a small portion as rent every year in accordance with the contract. In addition, they must pay land taxes in proportion to the normal rate... In addition, all the grain they receive belongs to them!"

It seemed that Liu Chan realized that what he said was a bit obscure, so he quickly added:

"To put it simply, I rent the land directly to them, and they plant it themselves. After the results are produced, the big part belongs to them and the small part belongs to me... In addition, the same is true for the uncultivated unclaimed land. , whoever clears the land for me, I will rent it to him for ten years... The more who clears the land, the more I will rent it to him!"

this…

Liu Chan's words have already made Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's eyes light up...

This method seems to be similar to Ni Wei's "counting cattle and losing grain".

But undoubtedly, this one is better. Yes, even if the cultivated land does not belong to the farmer, the farmer has the right to produce, cultivate and operate the cultivated land, and they can do anything that can make money on the cultivated land.

Because of the existence of the contract, as long as they pay land taxes and rent on time, the land will always be theirs...

This method can undoubtedly mobilize their enthusiasm to the greatest extent.

In order to make more money, they will work hard to cultivate and carefully protect their share of the land.

In order for this land to belong to them forever, they will definitely pay the meager rent on time, and they will not hide their harvests or evade taxes like those gentry and landowners.

Even if they still have the energy to spare, they can continue to cultivate land, continue to sign contracts, and continue to expand the scale of farming...

It is no exaggeration to say that with Liu Chan's method, the agriculture in the entire Sichuan region, which was originally a stagnant and lackluster industry, will suddenly be filled with vitality!

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were both masters of governing the country, and they knew that the stability of farming would play a decisive role in the future Northern Expedition.

Especially Zhuge Liang, even if he only heard these short words from Liu Chan, his vision has already expanded to next year and the year after...

So much so that he could feel that this "method" was simply the best partner and the most effective supplement for "bringing a child into the family".

Live!

Farming in Bashu has completely come to life!

For a moment, Zhuge Liang could not conceal his excitement and ecstasy, and his joyful expression was beyond words.

Liu Bei asked Liu Chan: "Who did you learn this from? What is the name of what you do?"

Faced with Liu Bei's question, Liu Chan blurted out directly, "This is called the 'Household Contract Responsibility System'... This is the method my Master Yunqi used when he governed Jiangxia. Have you ever heard of my second uncle's Northern Expedition or Eastern Expedition?" Are you short of food?"

——‘Is it Yunqi again? 』

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Fazheng chanted this sentence almost at the same time.

Liu Chan continued, "My master said that in the current era, due to the development and promotion of new agricultural tools, it is unrealistic to expect the agricultural level to develop by leaps and bounds. Instead of... allowing those big landowners to benefit, through concealment The acres of land and the population are making a lot of money, so why not break these acres into pieces and distribute them to each farmer."

“Change the mode of farming, production, and management from collective to exploitation to family-based... In this way, we can mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers, work more and get more, work less and get less, and work less and get less. No... no exploitation, no oppression. Only in this way can local farming flourish and farmers truly become rich! Even... the child listened to the master's words and was quite enlightened. This idea... is really thought-provoking. There are two places!”

this…

Liu Bei's eyes widened, and Adou was actually... thought-provoking.

Or two places?

Indeed, Liu Chan's penetrating words, in-depth and simple truths, and conclusive strategies... surprised everyone in the lobby.

Is this still the same... uneducated Adou?

Having said that... Adou just went to Jingzhou once and just worshiped Guan Lin, the rebellious son of the Guan family, as his disciple... could he transform to this level?

At this time, Liu Chan paused and continued, "Master Yunqi's strategy has been thought about by my son for a long time since he returned to Shuzhong. He even made a special calculation. The reason why the land tax in Shuzhong is not high now is , mostly because the fields are not in the hands of the farmers. They seem to work at dawn and return at sunset, working hard day after day, but in the end they still don’t have enough to eat, and they don’t even know who they are farming for!”

"On the contrary, the landowners and gentry are so rich that they can trade their lips for mountains of granaries... This kind of food distribution structure is unreasonable... What the child should think deeply about is how to distribute food. Be reasonable!”

When this topic was mentioned, Liu Chan continued to talk in depth.

"If 80% of the farmers only control 20% of the wealth, and 20% of the landowners control 80% of the wealth, then the distribution of resources is unreasonable and a huge hidden danger. But as far as I know, In Shuzhong... it's more than just two or eight. In my opinion... 95% of the wealth is in the hands of the landlords... In this way, how can the farmers see hope? Can't see hope? They still can't see hope? They have to deal with a lot of suffering caused by poverty! Their daily farming can only be like walking zombies!"

"Therefore, giving land to those who need it more and distributing food to those who need it more are the issues that Shuzhong urgently needs to solve in terms of cultivated land, and it is also the key to restricting other issues. In addition, Besides...there is a second thought-provoking one!”

Well…

Liu Chan's words shocked almost everyone.

Food distribution, farmland distribution?

This is like an unreasonable rule that has existed for hundreds of years. Many people know this rule, including officials, scholars, farmers, common people, businessmen, and landlords...

But it is such a rule that has existed for hundreds of years, but no one has ever touched it or overturned it.

In other words, no real peasant uprising has ever been successful. Even if it succeeds for a short time, the leaders of the peasant uprising will repeat the story of "dragon-slaying boy" turning into "evil dragon" one after another.

They will create a new unreasonable rule...and repeat it over and over again.

——The limitations of the peasant class cannot lead the revolution to victory!

But...the emergence and development of the working class cannot be separated from the peasant class!

Without food, all development will be in vain!

"You...go on..."

Liu Bei's voice was trembling, and his pupils were huge. At this moment, he was looking forward to what Liu Chan would say next, and he was looking forward to it.

"It's very simple. Master Yun Qi has mentioned countless times that the current distribution of cultivated land, food, and wealth is unreasonable. The most important thing is cultivated land and food... And these, the most permanent method, Master Yun Qi also mentioned, Those are the six words of 'killing the local tyrants and dividing the land', truly returning the land to the farmers... truly letting the farmers be the masters of their own country and the masters of the cultivated land, and truly realizing land to the tiller!"

"But... Master Yun Qi also said that this idea is too advanced and difficult to realize. To realize it... we must do it step by step. This is where I think deeply. Why is this idea so advanced? Return farmland to farmers. , for the country, it is beneficial to land taxation, for the people, it is a source of prosperity, and for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, it is an important guarantee... This is a thing that has hundreds of benefits and no harm, I don't understand... Why did Master Yunqi say he was too ahead of his time and said he would do it step by step? If I... just do it in a drastic way and directly take back the fields from the hands of the gentry and landlords... As long as the fields are returned to the people, the food and grass in Shu will be brighter every year, and the people will be smarter every year. If we are no longer short of food, then a series of workshops such as... Jingzhou Mianshui Villa will really spring up like mushrooms after a rain... Only then will the Sanxing Dahan have more hope!"

Having said this, Liu Chan paused for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Fazheng in a serious and serious manner...

"This is what I think is thought-provoking. The rest... I don't know. I still hope that my father and Master Zhuge will give me some advice. I also ask my father and Master Zhuge to give me some guidance and return the land to the people. This kind of thing has a lot of benefits and no harm." Why can’t it be implemented now?”

Huh...huh...

Undoubtedly, Liu Chan's words pushed the atmosphere here to another climax.

So much so that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Yang Yi, Zhuge Ke and others... were all shocked and shocked.

They all felt like thunder was rolling in the sky, as if something was constantly roaring in their heads, and their heads were "buzzing"!

Shocking and enlightening…

What inspiring words!

What an insight!

Especially the "household responsibility system", especially the "killing local tyrants and dividing the land", especially the "returning land to the people"...the idea is too bold...

If this is what Yun Qi thinks, then... after Adou said it, one of them really dared to think it, and the other really dared to say it!

but…

This ideal coincides with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's vision of establishing an "ideal state".

Of course, Adou's question... Zhuge Liang can answer it.

Why did Yunqi not dare to implement "attack the local tyrants and divide the land" and "return the land to the people"? Because...because...compared to dividing the land into acres, this is a change that is ten times or a hundred times more intense...it even led to a reform!

The story of the Qin Dynasty's violent reform and death is right in front of us.

What's more, in every reform in history, people died. Shang Yang's reform touched the fundamental interests of the nobility and established a system in which "military merit" is king. This allowed the Qin Dynasty to take the lead in the Six Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony, but it also made him the first A person who was killed for carrying out reforms.

The purpose of Wu Qi's reforms in Chu was to make the gentle Jiangnan water town rich and powerful, but before he could fully implement it, the King of Chu who supported him died. Before the old King of Chu was buried, Wu Qi was shot dead by the nobles at his funeral.

Not to mention the martyrs who followed and carried on the past;

Chao Cuo, who advocated reducing vassal vassals during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty;

Wang Mang of the Xin Mang Dynasty;

Later, Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng's reform in the Ming Dynasty... During the Reform Movement of 1898, the six gentlemen were executed with blood and blood!

Their end was not good.

In the eyes of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, the "reform" and "reform" mentioned by Adou to attack local tyrants and divide the land undoubtedly... carries huge dangers.

But...dangerous? Won't you do it?

Is it dangerous to revive the Han Dynasty? Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't do the same thing!

Their vision is to build such an "ideal state"!

At this time, Zhuge Liang's heart was in turmoil. He opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know where to start. The entire lobby of General Zuo's Mansion was extremely quiet for a while. Everyone held their breath and looked at Liu Chan in disbelief.

Liu Bei also seemed to have experienced a long "battle between heaven and man". He came back to his senses and temporarily put everything behind him. Then, his face turned red and huge veins burst out on his forehead. He slammed the table, and the pen, ink, and inkstone on the table flew everywhere.

One of the bamboo slips fell to the ground, which made Liu Chan's heart thump...

I couldn't help but secretly thought: "What's going on?" Why is there no movement? 』

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly laughed heartily, "Hahaha, hahahaha..."

This loud laughter had nothing like his cry-loving image in the past. He seemed to be a different person. He first looked left and right, and finally, with a pair of bright eyes staring at Liu Chan, he laughed and said loudly.

"This is my Qilin son of the Liu family——"

Undoubtedly, Liu Bei expressed his attitude towards Liu Chan with this sentence, and also expressed his attitude towards "attacking the local tyrants and dividing the land" with this sentence!

At least, for a moment, Liu Bei deeply connected his so-called "benevolence" with "fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land" and the "family contract responsibility system"!

The roots are intricate and deep-rooted!

…
