"absurd!"
Lu Zhou shouted loudly.
Even though he retired from the court, the emperor still granted him the title of An Guogong and the casual official position of Situ.
He is in Xiutu County. Although he is old, he is highly respected. In the past, Shen Quan, the governor of the state, also wanted to visit in person during the holidays.
In the imperial court, gifts came frequently.
How could he be like Lin Feng? He was so sarcastic and his words were thorny.
"Lin Feng, I have a sincere heart. However, you said that I said things that were against my will in a serious manner, under the guise of serving the country and the people, and even had dirty thoughts. I want to seek justice."
"If you don't give me an explanation, I won't hesitate to report it to His Majesty."
"Don't doubt my determination."
Lu Zhou stood up directly. Although he was old and thin, he was actually in good spirits. When he stood up, especially when he was angry, he became even more powerful, giving people an overwhelming feeling.
This is Lu Zhou's aura.
Lin Feng was still sitting, looking at the angry Lu Zhou, and smiled softly with a look of disdain: "Dong An, when discussing matters, it is not based on whose voice is loudest, nor is it decided by who stands taller. You still have to be reasonable.”
"Otherwise, what's the point?"
"If this is fair, just based on age, An Guogong is much older than me. He can even be my grandfather or even my great-grandfather based on his age. I don't need to be reasonable at all. Based on your age, I can just admit defeat."
Lu Zhou's cheeks twitched.
There was a hint of fear in those deep eyes.
Lin Feng is not a simple boy. His words were cut and beaten, which suppressed his momentum. Even the pressure that Lu Zhou brought to Lin Feng was gone. You must know that many people are afraid in front of Lu Zhou.
Lin Feng was not affected at all.
This is no simple character.
Lin Feng's remarks about age were a deliberate mockery of Lu Zhou, making Lu Zhou want to follow Lin Feng's path.
Lu Zhou said: "I would like to hear your opinion."
Lin Feng said unhurriedly: "Mr. An Guo, I don't have any high opinions. When I do things, I always present facts and reason. This is the simplest high opinion. You said that the implementation of dividing people into acres in Daqin will cause Huge impact, I do admit that there will be people who support it and people who will oppose it."
"In fact, how can no one oppose any policy, especially if it touches the interests of the powerful?"
"It's not normal if you don't object."
"The matter goes back to Guzang County. I looked at the land situation in Guzang County. It is 1,365 square kilometers. One square kilometer of land is almost 1,500 acres. The area in Guzang County , converted to 2.05 million acres of land."
"In total, this is a lot, right?"
"In fact, within Guzang County, the northwest and west are mountainous, and the northeast is desert. The only truly habitable areas, that is, the areas that can be cultivated, are the central and southeastern parts, which are less than 30% of the area."
"When converted, it's only about 600,000 acres of land."
"Among the 600,000 acres of land, Guzang County, local villages and towns, and mountains in various places cannot be cultivated, but they occupy a certain area. After putting these aside, how much will be left? ?”
"Based on the good side, it is tentatively estimated that six to four will be allocated to land, and four to mountains, towns, and villages."
"Actually, because of the geographical environment of Guzang County, it is not like the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River or the fertile plains of Xia Kingdom. There are many mountains and rocks in Guzang County. Even in good places, there are still many mountains, mountains, and towns. Waiting for 40% is too little."
"According to this conversion, the land that can be cultivated is only about 360,000 acres."
Lin Feng stared at Lu Zhou with blazing eyes and said in a deep voice: "Dong An Guo, do you know what this means?"
"I don't know."
Lu Zhou was very tough. He said directly: "I only know one thing. Your words are just words. What's the use of listing data?"
Lin Feng sneered and said: "Why is it useless? If the data is useless, why bother to compile a yellow book of household registration and count the population of the local people? Why bother to compile a yellow book of land and conduct an inventory of the local land? "
"The importance of data is that the court can know the local situation through data."
“Back to business, back to the land.”
"The cultivated land in Guzang County accounts for about 360,000 acres. Do you know how much land the Yang family in Guzang County has, more than 30,000 acres of land. The actual data will be more. Because of this More than 30,000 acres of land have only been surveyed, and there are still many that have not been surveyed.”
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that one family occupies more than 10% of the land in Guzang County?"
"In addition, the major families in Guzang County, headed by the Zhang family, control a total of about 100,000 acres of land. The Yang family, Zhang family, etc. account for 100,000 acres of the 360,000 acres of land in Guzang County. More than 30,000 acres, accounting for a little more than 30%.”
Lin Feng's eyes became sharper.
When it comes to data, he is familiar with it. These are what Lin Feng must understand.
Lu Zhou's expression became more serious.
Listening to Lin Feng's words, he felt even more how difficult Lin Feng was.
Lin Feng continued: "I checked the land registers of the land controlled by the government. In fact, it is less than 60,000 acres. In addition, small family landowners in Guzang County occupy about 130,000 acres of land. These There are about 210 small families and small landowners.”
"According to this calculation, there are already 320,000 acres of land."
“In the end, only 40,000 acres were left.”
"The people of Guzang County occupy 40,000 acres of land. Do you know what this means?"
“Thousands of people live on these 40,000 acres of land?”
Lin Feng looked at Lu Zhou with cold eyes, his expression even more mocking, and said: "The people are taxed according to the capitation tax, and it has become increasingly difficult for the people to bear the burden. The big families, who control the most land, don't pay much tax. "
"Aristocratic families and distinguished people enjoy everything, devour the land of the imperial court, dominate and become masters. However, the people in the local area are in extremely difficult conditions, and even their lives are unsustainable. "
“Shouldn’t these people who control most of the land pay more taxes?”
"The purpose of spreading people into acres is to change the situation where the poor are always poor. Otherwise, the Qin Dynasty will become increasingly poor. Once the local people cannot survive, how can the court collect taxes? When the people cannot survive. If we go down, what kind of Da Qin will there be?"
Lu Zhou's expression changed again and again.
He didn't expect that Lin Feng had such detailed data, and his words were even powerful.
The Lu family is also a big family.
The Lu family also occupies countless lands.
However, Lu Zhou himself is a representative of a large family. He is here today. Even if he understands Lin Feng's intentions, Lu Zhou will not give in.
Lu Zhou also has his own position.
Lu Zhou said directly: "Lin Feng, even if what you say makes sense. However, I still say that when your policy offends most people, it is destined to be unpopular and destined to fail. It may even cause The turmoil in the Qin Dynasty caused the collapse of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, I still think it is inappropriate."
"Wrong, you are dead wrong!"
Lin Feng strongly denied it and said: "The majority of people in Da Qin are not the dignitaries and big families you specifically mentioned. The majority of people in Da Qin are common people. The people's hearts in Da Qin are also the people's hearts, not the greed of these nobles. The foundation of Da Qin, It is not relying on the protection of the big family, but relying on the people and soldiers of Da Qin that the country of Da Qin can be forever fixed."
