“The country is based on the people, food is the sky for the people, and soil is the source of food. The land is related to the foundation of the country and the people’s livelihood plan..."
The third strategy discussion.
Lin Bai looked at the title.
The general meaning is to explain the importance of land to the country and the people, but the land annexation problem is serious and the people's lives are not easy. Let the students write a policy paper based on this.
Land annexation has always been the most vexing issue in ancient times.
It’s really uncomfortable to have such a topic in policy theory! If he really had that ability, he would have taken off long ago.
Lin Bai muttered.
I was also recalling the best solutions from past dynasties in my mind, and in the end there were only ten words left: "Everyone shares his land, and the officials and gentry share the food together."
This is the policy promoted by Yongzheng.
In ancient times, taxes were paid on a per capita basis, which resulted in the wealthy paying taxes the same as ordinary people, while some officials and gentry did not need to pay taxes.
Why do scholars want to take the exam? Because once they pass the exam, they will be exempted from taxes and corvee. This is why wealthy businessmen and daughters are so keen on scholars.
Dividing people into acres means integrating the head tax into the land. In the past, the tax was based on the head, but in the future, the tax was based on the land.
The officials and gentry paid taxes together, which meant that the officials and gentry, like the common people, also had to pay taxes and perform corvee service.
Once these two policies were implemented, in the fourteenth year of the Yongzheng Dynasty, not only did the national treasury become unprecedentedly powerful, but it also indirectly led to a skyrocketing population. Because taxes were not collected on a per-capita basis, everyone dared to give birth.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong was due to Yongzheng, and Qianlong was a prodigal son.
However, it is difficult to implement this policy. After thousands of years in China, only Yongzheng did it. After Yongzheng's death, the government and gentry all paid the grain together and was abolished by Qianlong.
Lin Bai was considering whether to write this down.
Because once it is written down, it will offend all the officials and gentry in Dali.
It is conceivable that these people did not have to pay taxes before, but now they are required to pay taxes.
grass!
It's the emperor's business to argue about what he writes and whether he will implement it or not. It's none of my business.
After thinking about this, Lin Bai didn't hesitate and started writing immediately.
A long and eloquent article.
After leaving the examination room, I just felt that my whole body was smooth. It was finally over, and now I was waiting for the results to be released.
The Jinshi or anything else must have not escaped, and the small goals of the three ladies have been completed ahead of schedule. As for the violent girl's goal of being the number one scholar, it is still a bit hanging.
Moreover, the number one scholar wants to be kissed by His Majesty. Don’t be in a hurry, because the violent mother is already a cooked duck.
Um!
The lady that someone calls her is really cooking her ducks, because the exam is finally over, and because of that poem, it’s impossible to wear women’s clothes. Isn’t that just a reward?
One meal should be enough, right?
But why is it so difficult?
It was obvious that I was watching someone while he was cooking. It looked very simple, but in my own hands...
She was puzzled and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the kitchen.
"General!"
The figure is that of a woman,
Wu Qiaojun paused slightly and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come over?"
The woman quickly said: "There is a situation at the border. Wanyan Lie has gathered most of the grassland and is gathering at the border. The Night King has asked the general to be prepared and rush to the border at any time."
Wu Qiaojun paused, "I know, you go back first!"
"yes!"
The woman quickly retreated.
Outside the door, Lin Bai was rushing over happily, and happened to see the woman walking out of the courtyard, "Who are you?"
When the woman saw this, she quickly clasped her fists and said, "I have met Mr. Lin, Red Eagle Thirteen Flying Eagles."
Eighteen Riders of Red Eagle?
Lin Bai's eyes lit up. It turned out to be the lady's subordinate, and he immediately said: "You are here to bring violence... General Wu, is there something wrong?"
Fei Ying thought for a while and said: "There is an emergency at the border. I will inform the general to prepare to leave at any time."
What?
Lin Bai's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. Is the violent mother leaving? We have just made some progress and are about to leave. How can this be done?
Immediately he asked quickly: "Didn't you win the battle? You killed the Hulu leader, why..."
Fei Ying said: "Young master, you don't know. There are many forces on the grassland. We defeated only one of them, belonging to the Tuoba clan, but now the one who is in danger at the border is another one, belonging to the Wanyan clan."
"The Tuoba clan and the Wanyan clan are the two most powerful groups in the grassland. The two sides have been fighting for control of the grassland. The current leader of the Wanyan clan is called Wanyan Lie. He is extremely impressive. He has ruled most of the grassland, leaving only There are a few forces, and the Tuoba clan is one of them."
"A large part of the reason why the Tuoba clan invaded the Central Plains was because they were forced by Wanyan Lie. Now that the leader of the Tuoba clan has been killed by the general, the Wanyan clan has grown rapidly and almost unified the grassland..."
Lin Bai probably figured out that although the violent mother killed the Hulu leader, the border crisis has not been resolved, but may become more dangerous.
So, is this why the Peace Party impeached the violent mother?
Fei Ying said: "The Lord He faction means not to fight, but to leave the Tuoba clan to fight against the Wanyan clan and let them fight in a nest."
"In today's situation, the Main Peace Faction believes that everything was caused by the General, because the General's father died at the hands of the Tuoba clan. The Main Peace Faction says that the General was motivated by selfish hatred, so..."
It seems that this is the reason why the violent mother returned to the court in triumph without any expression.
Lin Bai asked: "Then when will you leave?"
Feiying said: "It's not confirmed yet, but it should be soon."
After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Sir, your gift to the veterans and your remarks have spread to the border. The soldiers all appreciate you, and the general often inquires about you..."
"Flying Eagle!"
Before he finished speaking, the voice of a violent woman came from the yard.
Feiying quickly shut up, but he didn't forget to give Lin Bai a look, as if he was seizing the opportunity, and then quickly ran away.
Lin Bai couldn't help but grin, feeling happy.
Then he entered the courtyard.
At the dinner table, Wu Qiaojun rarely spoke first, "Do you regret standing up for me that day?"
"Regret? Why?"
Lin Bai said, "You did nothing wrong."
Wu Qiaojun looked at Lin Bai and said nothing, but Lin Bai knew what she wanted to say and said directly: "It has nothing to do with me liking you. What I said is the truth."
Someone is too thick-skinned to say anything.
But Wu Qiaojun couldn't bear it, her pretty face turned red.
However, he didn't get angry, but stared at Lin Bai, as if he wanted to hear what someone could say.
Lin Bai continued: "No matter what the reasons are behind it, the Tuoba invasion is a fact. Are we going to let the people at the border just ignore it?"
"The Lord Harmony Faction may have its reasons, but any reason cannot be based on the sacrifice of the people. Moreover, how can the Tuoba clan, who is forced to flee everywhere, hold back the Wanyan clan?"
Wu Qiaojun smiled.
Facing Lin Bai directly for the first time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, matching his beautiful and slightly rosy face.
Lin Bai was so fascinated that he swallowed subconsciously and said, "Why don't we go to the border gate? Our family is not short of food, and the court doesn't want to see you anyway. Come with me back to Jiangnan and be a landowner, so I won't be so cruel." .”
