Zhu Youxiao thoroughly checked the residents of the chieftain population of all ethnic groups and regions, first re-organized them and confirmed how many households there were.

He disrupted and reorganized the original order and household registration. All the same ethnic group could not live in the same place.

Especially those who live together and who have to separate them from afar and cannot get in touch.

Like other provinces, a prefecture-county and county-level system is established, and officials are assigned to go down to manage the jurisdiction.

Then the land and fertile land that was found was distributed reasonably according to the population of each household.

However, these fertile lands do not belong to them, nor to the local government, but to the court and directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.

The biggest problem in the late Ming Dynasty was that in fact, the reason why all feudal dynasties were filled with public grievances and constant rebellion and uprisings were continuous.

The fundamental reason for all this is that the population and land problem cannot be effectively solved, which is a common problem that was unavoidable until the Republic of China period.

In an era when industry and commerce have not yet developed, land is everything. Land is not only the lifeblood of the people, but also the lifeblood of a dynasty. It is the key factor and resource for the emperor to stabilize his position.

There is only so much land that can be cultivated. He will not continue to produce new things like humans, unless the country expands its territory and then organizes a large number of people to migrate and help them settle down and open up land.

This is how Liaodong was. Emperor Taizu had always been developing Liaodong when the Ming Dynasty was established.

He also asked the King of Liao to lead heavy troops to station in Guangning, pacifying the barbarians and savage tribes entrenched in the northeast region at that time, between the white mountains and black waters.

Create a safe and stable environment for land reclamation, and prepare to build Liaodong into an important town in the north.

After everything is settled, the army can be self-sufficient, and can directly send troops to cooperate with the Ming army in the pass to attack Mongolia.

Unfortunately, the strategy is still under implementation and has been strangled in the cradle.

However, it takes not only enough manpower to reclaim these never-planted wastelands, but also time to fatten up the land.

This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty did not intend to make progress after conquering the 18 provinces of Han land. All the good land that can be cultivated has been found.

For a dynasty that relies on land and food to develop, it will naturally no longer cost money and food.

The land cannot grow, but the population will not stop growing. There are more and more people, and fewer toasts can be distributed. People cannot eat enough or wear warmth, so they will naturally start to decline.

Before the fifteenth year of Wanli, why was it called the richest era in the Ming Dynasty and the best time for the people to live?

It is because of Zhang Juzheng's reform and the One-Whip Method that the land in the country was remeasured and then distributed reasonably, resources were temporarily balanced, and the lives of the people naturally improved.

Why will the country's economy rise sharply in the early stages of this dynasty after a new, vibrant and stable unification new dynasty be established?

It is also because of the balanced allocation of resources that the people who have just experienced war and turmoil urgently need to rest and recuperate, but at this time, there are only a few people and more land.

What is the happiest thing about farmers and people in their lives? They have fertile land to cultivate and have surplus food at home, so they can eat and wear and wear.

But no dynasty realized the harm of privatization and the importance of nationalization.

Such an important social resource is completely in the hands of the literati and the landlords and powerful people who are opposite the emperor, which is too stupid.

Even if officials know the disadvantages, they will not inform the emperor of the harm, because they are the ones who get the best interests. How could someone cut off their own way of wealth?

As for the emperor, among the dynasties, more than 400 emperors, except for Zhu Yuanzhang who truly took the people from the bottom of the class, the other emperors did not regard them as human beings at all.

Even if an emperor realized it, it was the period of decline of the dynasty and had already passed its prosperous era. At this time, even the emperor could not control it and could only watch it grow stronger and stronger.

Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Little Ice Age was accompanied by dangerous internal dangers and strong enemies externally, the land annexation, which was extremely harmful, doubled its impact on the court.

How can the basic resources of a country like this be privatized, and how can it become a gentry of officials and gentlemen and a capital against the imperial court?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must change the land and fertile land, which must not be privatized, and cannot be made into their private property.

The nationalization of land was inevitable for the feudal dynasty, but if this policy was really to be announced, he would leverage this already faint balance.

It is equivalent to declaring war with all the landlords, powerful officials, gentry and gentry in the world. They will be very excited and even organize the so-called civil uprising to blatantly resist, forcing the court and the emperor to give up this idea and surrender.

During the Wanli period, his grandfather just collected some of their mining taxes, and they dared to kill the tax prison in public, instructing their slaves to spread rumors and incite the people to rebel.

If the mining tax is to compete with them for profit, then the nationalization of the land is like digging their ancestral graves, which completely cuts off their foundation.

Therefore, he only dared to pilot the Southwest, which is more closed and has a more backward information transportation, and he had to find a name to cover up his eyes and ears.

He thought about it and finally decided that he temporarily classified these lands as state-owned for many reasons such as the turbulent situation, the unstable world, and the assimilation and Chineseization of the nation, with a deadline of five years.

During these five years, these lands were nationalized and the people had to pay rent fees to the court.

If these expenses are not collected without the hands of local officials and prefectures and counties, Zhu Youxiao will naturally appoint a group of officials and imperial envoys to confiscate them in person.

In this way, those officials and gentry may become suspicious and attract their attention, but it is much better than a blatant announcement. At least they will not risk their fights because of a little suspicion.

He issued another order, that all places affected by the war will be exempted from taxes for one year.

This time, the land was allocated, and the people who were re-entered were exempted from taxes for two years and the rental fee was reduced for three years.

If there is a lack of farm tools for cultivation and cultivation, the court will provide them with appropriate assistance according to the facts and provide them with agricultural tools and seeds.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao wanted to directly reduce the exemption for five years, so it was based on the date of state-owned land.

But his current strength is really limited, and he doesn't want to offend those people completely and declare war with them, so he dare not go too far.

Five years is enough for him to do a lot of things. As long as he can comfort the people and pacify the old slaves outside the pass, he can free up his hands to deal with them specifically.
