The fifth and fifth chapters are revealed

In the first year of Harmony in the Song Dynasty, that is, the 1264th year of the Western Liberation, when the people of the Song Dynasty cheered for their queen...

They do have reason to cheer.

After all, ordinary people would not care about how much impact this queen had on Confucian principles and laws. They only knew that this queen was known for loving the people as her son. Over the years, as Yang Feng's vase, his female apprentice's main job was to engage in charity. The schools in Gushan, orphanages, nursing homes and even public hospitals under the National Teachers were all responsible for the Princess Shengguo. Whether the people of Lin'an or outsiders who came to Lin'an, they often saw the beautiful princess walking by the streets of Lin'an with groups of orphans, or she was riding in a fairy-tale carriage, parked beside a beggar, and gave him clothes to protect the cold, or supported a trembling old man to walk on her pumpkin-shaped four-wheeled carriage.

Young, beautiful and kind have become the symbol of this princess.

Such a queen is of course popular.

The people are so idle that they don’t care about those messy things. They will support whoever treats them well. It goes without saying who is more popular with a princess who is like a saint and a prince who is said to have a bad mind and likes female sex.

By the way, how many people know what the prince looks like? And the portrait of the princess is posted on the walls of many people.

As for governing the country...

This is not important, there is a national teacher behind him!

What's more, even the common people understand that the rise of the country as the queen means that the national master will definitely not leave them in a short time, and the national master will never be in danger if he does not leave the Song Dynasty. The yellow and panic-loving life in the past few years will never be there again. The peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty will truly continue. Moreover, the national master will also bring more immortal species, which is very important. The various immortal species that have spread from the disciples of Chengdu and the Immortal Lord have begun to truly affect people's lives. The corn in the mountainous areas of Fujian, potatoes in Sichuan, and sweet potatoes in the Shandong Peninsula have all begun to expand rapidly, not to mention those long cotton, various fruits and vegetables, and just one pepper makes the mountain people in Guizhou cheer for it.

As the Queen ascended the throne, all this will continue and a beautiful life will continue. So why don’t the people cheer?

What is the dissatisfaction of those Confucian scholars?

Newspapers and primary schools that are popularizing compulsory education have already ended their monopoly on their voice. Everyone knows that Confucianism is just a sect among the schools of thought, everyone knows how rich Confucius' status as a saint is, everyone knows that the Song Dynasty is Taoism, and the Confucian scholars have no sacredness to speak of. Their complaints are destined to be drowned in the cheers of the people.

Amid the cheers of the people of the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan quickly defeated his younger brother. Alibuge fled to the Western Regions again. Then Kublai Khan returned to Kaiping and changed the country's name from Mongolia to Yuan, then Kaiping was the upper capital, and then built Dadu as the official capital based on Chang'an City, thus completing the sinicization of the regime. Because of the psychological shadow caused by Yang Feng, the Yuan army stopped expanding on the border between Song and Mongolia and moved to full defense, using Yanshan Taihang Mountains and the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains to establish them. The defense line also changed Henan's buffer zone, and maintained several points with Guo Kan, Di Jia and other Han army Shihou, but the main force of the Mongolian army used Luoyang as the stronghold to block Wu Handao. After completing the contraction defense, Kublai Khan changed the main goal of expansion to the Western Regions, and fought with Alibugo and the Jin Horde for control of the Chaha-Tai Khanate. In the following years, his army mainly fought in the Tianshan area. Relying on the logistic support of Guanzhong and Hedong, he finally completed the complete control of the Chaha-Tai Khanate.

During this period, the Song and Yuan dynasties maintained peace.

Even during the rebellion of Dali, Yang Feng did not cause trouble. Although Sai Wei sent people to ask for help from the Song army, the Yang family in Bozhou also intended to send troops to expand to Dali, but was eventually stopped by Yang Feng. First, Yang Feng did not want to drag Kublai down for the time being, so that he could expand west with confidence and boldness, and second, it was mainly because Yang Feng was also very chaotic.

Because the same year the Queen ascended the throne, the agricultural census of the Song Dynasty was finally completed.

With the completion of the agricultural census, the public land law that has been planned for a long time should begin. This time, the imperial court opposed the public land law more and there were sufficient reasons for opposition. The public land law had to be implemented before because there were many people in the Southern Song Dynasty and there were few lands, but now this problem no longer exists. Because safety is guaranteed, Sichuan, Jianghuai, and Hebei can dilute the excess population of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially the Jianghuai. In the past, Jianghuai was a buffer zone with few populations, and Yangzhou was not as popular as a county in Zhejiang, but now the vast land there can be used, and it is also convenient to migrate to this area. In fact, the ministers in the court believed that the court should not consider the land of gentry in Jiangnan, but to push the people outward.

Since that's the case...

Since this is the case, just nationalize the land!

The system of title enthronement was reformed, and fiefs of different areas were granted according to different titles. The fiefs could be used as hereditary private property to ensure the interests of military generals and their own factional ministers. However, all land except these fiefs were nationalized, and the state paid the original owner the newly established banknotes. At the same time, according to the Tang Dynasty's Yongye Field System, land was rented out to farmers according to the agricultural population in this census. Each household obtained a different area according to the population. As for insufficient sharing, there was also land for the excess farmers.

But it’s not certain where this land is.

Theoretically, it is possible for a Zhejiang farmer to obtain land from Hebei. Of course, the first phase is mainly in the Jianghuai area. However, if you obtain land outside of your hometown, the state will be responsible for distributing agricultural tools seeds to provide oxen and guaranteeing it to be delivered to the local area. Moreover, the newly opened wasteland is exempt from rent for a period of time. As for whoever obtains land from his hometown who obtains land from other places, you have to draw lots to solve the problem. Anyway, there is only so much land in the native area, and such a situation will definitely occur in places with overpopular population.

In addition, non-agricultural populations can also apply for land lease.

Of course, they can only go to other places.

And you must go, otherwise you will have to exile Taiwan or Hainan Island as a fraud.

If you have obtained a large amount of Yongye land and think you are unable to cultivate, you can choose to return a part of it to the country. If you catch it in another place but are unwilling to go, then there is nothing you can do. Anyway, the country has given you land, so if you don’t go, you have to go out to beg for food, or...

The workmanship is good in the city!

In short, didn’t the ministers and gentry say that the people should be pushed out? Then we will push them more thoroughly, and have a large-scale immigration nationwide, so that the tens of millions of people crowded in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be diverted to the outside to the greatest extent, so that all the prefectures and counties with sparse population in the Song Dynasty can be enriched. By the way, Yang Feng had long thought about forcing immigration, and now he can finally have fun. There is only 30,000 households in Yangzhou, which is such a terrifying thing that is really unbearable.

However, the nationalization of land also made the gentry unbearable to him.

You're just making trouble.

Why are you thinking about the fields we have? We did have hidden fields before, but there were no hidden fields after the agricultural census. We also paid taxes and grains. Why do you still keep holding on to these land? The nationalization of land has no effect on those self-cultivated farmers. Except for the land ownership they have changed from their own to the state, there is no change in the other way, and the land tax has even been cancelled. After all, the country has collected land rent and cannot collect land taxes, and the land rent is actually lower than the land tax. As for the tenants, of course, cheered for this. Even the small and medium-sized landlords actually have not suffered too much loss. After all, the country gives money, and the money is very reasonable. In addition, they can also give priority to retain some of the best ones, as a franchise, and there is no need to draw lots.

But the big landlords, especially those who rely on land rent for a living, were all stunned.

This is really unbearable!

In the event of a failed negotiation with the national master, some of the gentry who was so angry were fooled by a scammer, thinking that the latter had magic. It is said that the scammer really had magic. In short, they thought that the gentry who found weapons against the national master resolutely raised their troops under the banner of killing monsters and preparing to support King Zhong to depose the queen. As a result, who knew that after the scammer, the scammer, actually ran away irresponsibly. Poor the gentry arrived at the quarrels who suppressed the rebellion.

Before, they had to hang them all in a hurry. But their funny rebellion led to the largest purge since the Song Dynasty moved south. A large number of court officials who were found to have colluded with them were arrested and imprisoned. Especially after this liar was arrested, a large number of masters from all over the world participated in their plans, and then a larger purge was followed, which led to everyone's own danger. A large number of masters who had not been implicated hurriedly fled to the bright country in their hearts.

In short, after this prison, both Confucian scholars and masters suffered heavy blows.

Land nationalization has officially begun.

Then before the government and the people calmed down from this earthquake, the national teacher made trouble again. He began to reform the imperial examination system, that is, to change the imperial examination into a civil servant examination, and the palace examination was cancelled directly. There would be no more top scholars, but instead became an official examination based on each prefecture. After the examination, it was not an official, but a official was no longer an official, and then an official was no longer an official forever. Instead, it was promoted to an official based on his work performance. As for the promotion to the next level, it would follow the steps. Anyway, the matter of winning the top scholar was gone.

By the way, this is another heart-breaking knife!

However, after passing the previous prison, no one dared to object. Before the imperial examination system reached its peak, it was shattered.
Chapter completed!
