"Why did Cao Wei perish? It's like the tenants who used to farm for the landlords, but now farm for the emperor. It's pretty good? How could it be?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at them puzzled and said, suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "The rent that Cao Wei collected

Is it very high?" He clapped his hands and said, "It must be very high."

Hong Lianshuo looked at the fast-thinking Jiang Shuisheng with bright eyes and smiled, "Yes! That's right! Cao Cao is a ruthless man. He wants 60% of the common people's harvest."

"Hiss..." The people present gasped, "Hei, this heart is really dark!"

"Don't worry, Cao Cao's descendants are even more ruthless, 80%!" Hong Lianshuo made eight gestures with his fingers.

"Grandma, he wants it all, why do you keep 20%?" Sixi said angrily.

"It's his grandma's fault. If he doesn't die, who else will. He's more ruthless than an ordinary small landowner." Chen Zhongyuan's eyes almost popped out of the window.

"But in this world, is it not the king's land? Is it necessary for him to charge such a high rent?" Jiang Shuisheng asked puzzledly, "How much can the emperor eat by himself?"

"The emperor can only eat three meals a day, even delicacies from the mountains and seas, and rare and exotic animals. He can't afford so much rent!" Chen Zhongyuan echoed, "That's right! Why does he charge so harshly? He doesn't know how to dry up the lake and fish!"

"I know! They know a lot more than you, but don't forget, who would mind having too much money! And there are a lot of officials?" Hong Lianshuo kindly reminded them after hearing this, "For example, in this city

The food would rather become moldy than be distributed to the hungry people."

"This..." Sixi said through gritted teeth, "Then they deserved to be overthrown. They have no heart of kindness."

"What about the fusion of the two? Since both have shortcomings, let's take the advantages." Lin Nanzheng's eyes wandered slightly, and suddenly his eyes were fixed on Hong Lianshuo and he said excitedly, "For example, the emperor allocates one hundred acres of land to the people, twenty acres

It's what the people can plant at will. The eighty acres of land must be planted according to the regulations of the imperial court. Of course, this land belongs to them and can be handled privately."

Hong Lianshuo's black eyes flashed when he heard this. What Lin Nanzheng said was that the 80 acres were leased by the government to farmers and could only be used to grow food. After the farmers died, the government would take it back. This was the land equalization system developed in the Tang Dynasty.

"Is this feasible?" Lin Nanzheng looked at them with burning eyes and said, "Let's choose a better one."

"No, no, no, you should choose the one that suits you." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said, "Choose the one that can maximize the enthusiasm of farmers." He looked at them with calm eyes and said, "The land is privately owned.

The Qin and Han dynasties were very powerful, and the Cao and Wei dynasties, which had public land, were actually not weak either. They were very effective in restoring agriculture at the beginning of the dynasty." He raised his index finger and said seriously, "But they have a big drawback, which is that they cannot solve land annexation. Although

The imperial court has severely cracked down on land annexation, but the effects are visible to everyone, and those who deserve to perish will still perish."

The typical 28/20 principle applies to everything, 20% elites, 80% ordinary people.

No matter how harsh the government's crackdown is, within a few decades, the land will inevitably go to 20% of the people.

Just like 20% of the people control 80% of the wealth, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide.

Therefore, around the second or third hundred years of the unified dynasty, the contradiction between more people and less land became more and more intense, and a large-scale peasant uprising broke out.

Everyone fights and kills, and then two-thirds of the people die, and the remaining one-third is divided again.

The new dynasty throws off its baggage and sets out again lightly.

Feudal society for more than two thousand years has been going through cycles, and no dynasty can escape the law of cycles.

"A dynasty can be strong without equalizing land. With equalizing land, it can't escape land annexation. It will only be destroyed sooner or later." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with cold eyes and said.

"Then land annexation cannot be avoided?" Cao Huaimin frowned and looked at them and said.

"There seems to be no solution at the moment?" Han Qinhu frowned and looked at them, shaking his head slightly. "This land is the lifeblood of people. Wealth has been dug out of the soil. Who is willing to give up!"

"Then people will not regard the land as their lifeblood!" Sixi looked at them with clear black and white eyes and said innocently.

Hearing this, Lin Nanzheng shook his head and laughed, "How is this possible?"

"There is a way, but it just can't be done." Hong Lianshuo suddenly said.

Brush... everyone looked at Hong Lianshuo and asked in unison, "What can we do?"

"Increase the yield per mu!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them calmly and said, "Can't the existing land be able to feed all the people and the future, like rabbits, in vain?

Fatty. Farming no longer makes money, and land is no longer the lifeblood. This land annexation will be solved naturally."

"How much will the yield per acre be?" Sixi looked at her expectantly and asked.

"Taking wheat as an example, the yield per mu is one thousand kilograms!" Hong Lianshuo said easily.

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, Gudong, Gudong swallowed.

"Our yield per mu is only 200 kilograms now. If you increase it five times, you will die." Ye Yunyu's eyes widened and she pursed her lips as she looked at her.

"How about we say that technology is the primary productive force!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with regret and said.

It should be that science and technology is the primary productive force. The problem of land annexation that feudal society has never been able to solve was solved all of a sudden by the advent of industrial society.

The country no longer relies heavily on agriculture for tax revenue. Agriculture is still the top priority. You have to keep it in your own hands. If you don't have enough to eat, big trouble will occur.

Whoever controls food controls humanity.

The current yield per mu is really too low. There is no chemical fertilizer and we rely entirely on manure. Not only is the yield low, but the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content is even lower. It is strange that the yield per mu has increased.

"Especially, fields need to be cultivated in rotation, which means one year of planting and one year of rest." Ye Yunyu took a deep breath and said, "So the imperial court encourages the cultivation of wasteland."

"Isn't this reclaimed land owned by private individuals as much as it is reclaimed?" Chen Zhongyuan thought about it and said, "You are still afraid if you have the strength!" He rolled up his sleeves.

"It will be good if the land that has been opened up can produce something in three to five years. The yield will be even lower." Ye Yunyu looked at them dejectedly and said.

"The low yield and the rapid growth of the population are enough to offset the yield of land reclamation." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said.

"The yield of two hundred catties per mu is enough for us to eat." Chen Zhongyuan smacked his lips.

"You still have to pay taxes!" Hong Lianshuo reminded him kindly.

"Ah...oh..." Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "What if everyone pays taxes! Then we can pay less."
