Equal land system!

There is no doubt that it is definitely the national system of the Tang Dynasty!

The Tang Dynasty has today’s system entirely depends on the equal-field system!

How could the equal-field system destroy the country and country of the Tang Dynasty? Isn’t this funny?

Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied with Han Yi's sensational way of speaking, and said a little displeased: "Where does this start?"

But this is the professional legacy left by Han Yi in his previous life. Most of the fraudsters have this tone. How to make a trap without sensation? He said: "In the days of my life in the northwest, I have seen many people who have lost their families due to wars. It is very miserable. So I have been thinking about how to prevent such things from happening again. However, rebellion and separatism mostly come from people's ambitions, which is inevitable, but ambition alone is not enough. He needs food and people.

In order to implement the equal land system and avoid the migration of the people, all prefectures and counties are actually closed. It takes a lot of procedures to go from one county to another. This creates a phenomenon that the people can be self-sufficient and do not need to rely on anyone. To put it bluntly, prefectures and counties can also be self-sufficient. This is the most terrible thing, because in this way, any prefectures and counties can form a separatist situation at any time. No prefectures and counties need to rely on the court, because they can all be self-sufficient, and the soldiers are farmers directly from the prefectures. Once the court loosens the local control of the local government, it will be very dangerous."

Li Zhi's eyebrows were deeply locked.

But this makes sense!

An Lushan was able to form separatist, which is also a very important reason. It is too closed and the economy is not circulating. The people only know An Lushan. Who is your emperor? It has a relationship with me. If An Lushan wants to be the emperor, I may become a citizen of the capital.

This was extremely terrifying to think about it. The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he became more and more scared, and asked, "What do you think you should do?"

“National commercialization!”

Han Yi said: "Let the people move and goods move. For example, if you produce horses in the northwest, just raise horses, supply the whole country, produce grain in the south of the Yangtze River, that kind of grain is good, let them form a supply-demand relationship. If there is horses or not, you can't rebel. If you have food or horses, you can't do it. If there is cloth, no one wants to rebel naked, that's not okay. If you want both, you have to fight from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River. The key is that without food, can it last for so long?

Moreover, once the national commercialization is formed, the people's hearts will be filled with the Tang Dynasty, not the prefectures and counties, and the news will be more informative, and there will be no blockage and no separatist phenomenon will be formed, because each prefecture is interdependent and indispensable."

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No, no, if the people are all moving, who will go to farm? In addition, in this way, the military system of the government will be destroyed."

"Go away!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "What is the purpose of the people moving? Isn't it just to ask for food? If farming can make money, no one will do without land, and give it to Weichen, because in this way, the price of grain will definitely rise. Weichen will spend money to invite them back to farm. Land is the most precious, because it is a business transaction without a capital, and there is no commodity to produce goods, but land can produce food. No one will give up farming. As for the system of government troops, it is not a long-term solution. After all, the system of government troops is not professional soldiers, but just a group of farmers. Their combat power is not good. Once they don't fight for many years, the system of government troops will inevitably collapse. And once life becomes more comfortable, they will also flee for service. Everyone is afraid of death. This is human nature."

Li Zhi felt it made sense, and he wanted to change, and he wanted to establish a new thing, but the problem is that the suggestions made by Han Yi were too new and were completely unrecognizable. Whoever dared to guarantee that they would succeed. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, there is no risk.

Han Yi also knew that Li Zhi made a decision after hearing this. He just wanted to prepare Li Zhi for ideological preparation. His economic plan was about to begin, so he set it aside. So he said: "Your Majesty, I am not vetoing the equal-field system. Without the equal-field system, there would be no current Tang Dynasty. However, the equal-field system was born in the weakest period of our Tang Dynasty. The equal-field system is only suitable for poor countries. Once the country becomes rich, it will definitely seek change. This should gradually be done, but for the Turks, we must use commerce to promote our Tang culture and our Tang system."

When Li Zhi heard this, he said, yes, you can try it on the Turks first. If it is OK, I will use it in the Central Plains. After all, it is still based on the Central Plains. He said, "Then you should talk about it in detail."

Han Yi said: "I don't know if your Majesty knows what kind of ranch agreement you have."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "If there was no such ranch agreement, I would really punish you. Your move is indeed very good, and I agree very much."

Han Yi said: "Weichen asked them to sign a ranch agreement. One is to stabilize them for the first time, and the other is to give the court a reason to intervene in the Northwest affairs. The ranch agreement was promoted by the court, and the court must be responsible for it. Then the court must send people to station in the local area and be responsible for justice. Isn't this the position of the official office? But this is not enough. Weichen also promised those tribes that the court would send people to build stations, open trade routes, and bring prosperity to the local people. Your Majesty can hand over these projects to merchants."

Li Zhi said curiously: "I don't object to building roads and building post stations, so why do you want the merchants to go?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if Emperor Yang of Sui was the engineering contractor of the Grand Canal at that time, would the people still rebel?"

Li Zhi was stunned.

Han Yi smiled and said, "We must learn from the lessons of the Sui Dynasty and not let the court stand directly on the opposite side of the people. Once it rebelled, the court would rebel. If Emperor Yang of Sui would have a heavy wallet to repair it, if the merchants exploited the people and the people hated the merchants, the court could also blame the merchants. All the crimes were borne by the merchants. The court's original intention was good, but the merchants were too treacherous."

Li Zhi said: "But merchants also need to make money, so the imperial court did not have so much money."

Han Yi said: "The court will never lose money. First of all, the canal is repaired, and merchants have to find a dock to stop the ship. The court spent so much money to build the canal, and it is impossible to try it for free. More or less, it has to be given some tolls. This money is not too much. If you spend too much money, you can fish in the water, but it can accumulate little and it is permanent. No matter how much money you have, you can get back."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Tolls, are you a thief in the court?" But I felt very happy. This method is really good. Anyway, the businessman has a bad reputation, so it doesn't matter if he takes a few blame!

"Wei Chen is just an analogy!"

Han Yi smiled embarrassedly.

Li Zhi asked excitedly again: "What does this have to do with governing the Hu people?"

Han Yi said: "It has a lot to do with it. The court allocates funds to merchants. The merchants take money to the northwest. A smart businessman will not take people from Chang'an. Eating and drinking on the road alone will be a considerable expense. The most cost-effective way is to take a few people in charge and recruit people to build roads from there. In recent years, the Western Turks have been warring one after another, and the people have not lived a good life. They need to work and hit it off! This is a project contracted by the court. Of course, the court has to send people to supervise, which will increase the power of the local government. The merchants in the Central Plains have another employment relationship with the Hu people. The court wants to supervise this relationship. Will the Hu people also be managed by the way!

If the court had set up hundreds of government offices there directly, the Hu people would definitely resist and they would not be able to obey the government office. Therefore, the court had to create a reason for them to need the government office, and then drive the government office there, which would be reasonable.

In addition, the Hu people will have to make a living with the merchants at that time. Do they listen to the tribe leaders or the merchants, and of course they listen to the merchants, which can weaken the strength of the tribe leaders. Your Majesty can also encourage those leaders to come to the Tang Dynasty to do business, use their interests to control them, and let them understand a reality. Once they fight, nothing will be gone. If you don’t fight, you can make a fortune. Will they still rebel against me, the Tang Dynasty?

When the two sides have close contacts, it means that you have me and I have you. Without distinguishing each other, the Tang Dynasty culture can be promoted to the hearts of the Hu people. It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the Hu people's clothes were made by the people of the Central Plains, because their productivity in this regard lags behind the Tang Dynasty. The profits we do are much cheaper than what they do. Why do they do it yourself? They dare to dance and have no clothes to wear.

Unless Khan belongs to my official position in the Tang Dynasty, it should not exist!"

"Okay! This is a good method!"

Li Zhi was so happy that he slapped his thigh, and suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and said contradictoryly: "But this will improve the status of a businessman?"

Han Yi knew in his heart that it was not formed in one or two years. Anyone involved in the farmer class, needless to say, the ruler would definitely stand on the side of the peasant class and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this money is not in the hands of merchants, but in the hands of gentry landlords, or princes and nobles. Throughout history, those people like to make trouble the most? Isn't it these gentry landlords? Merchants actually dislike turmoil the most because merchants are looking for money. Once they fight, merchants are cut off their financial paths, and merchants are disliked the civil war the most. If they fight foreign wars, some merchants may like it because they will not undermine the stability of the country and will not cut off their financial paths. Then, war will bring consumption, and he can sell more goods. If His Majesty wants to use force to the outside world, literati will oppose it, and merchants will support it, but if they want to use force to the inside, merchants will definitely strongly oppose it, especially rich merchants.

And no one will respect the merchants from the bottom of their hearts. Even the craftsmen under his command, the richer the merchants are, the more hated they are. They cannot respond to them. As long as the monarch controls the merchants in his own hands, gives them wealth, and does not give too much power, then the merchants do not have any capital to rebel. For the monarch, the merchants are actually cute."

"cute?"

Li Zhi laughed and scolded: "Aren't you a businessman? I see that many people respect you!"

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood!"

Han Yi said: "It's not that the Wei minister bragging. If the Wei minister did not become an official, the Wei minister would make more money than he is now. The reason is very simple. Because the Wei minister is an official, the Wei minister has to take care of his face and his majesty's kindness. Therefore, he often beats the fat man in the face and does not make money. He lets other merchants earn money and win a little bit of everyone's favor. If I increase the ticket to a hundred cents, there will definitely be people watching it, but the Wei minister will be scolded by more people. He cannot have both fish and bear's paws. But even so, many people still hate Wei ministers, like those monks who lend money to usury."

"You boy!"

Li Zhi was so happy that he said, "Okay! I agree with your suggestion very much. Moreover, you have made a promise on behalf of the court, and I have no choice but to do anything to you. Don't think that I can't see your trick of killing first and then playing."

Han Yi said awkwardly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Han Yi was there with a fake edict, but the problem was that Li Zhi had to admit that the edict was true. If he admitted that the edict was true, he would have to be responsible for Han Yi's words. From the very beginning, he was trapped by Han Yi.
