Chapter 1409 Land Revolution

The emperor started, and everyone discussed it very enthusiastically.

From one diary to one diary to one diary to one diary, it is undoubtedly a huge change. The number of diary land granted has indeed been greatly reduced, but in fact, it has not been able to really give a 100 acre of land per diary in the past.

Judging from the boundaries of the world in the five years of Daye, the country only had 800 million mu of land, while at that time there were 8.91 million households and a population of 46.02 million. The population in the north accounted for 71% and the population in the south accounted for 29%.

It is not included in this, slaves, monks, noble families, and some hidden households and escaped people. Therefore, a household with a hundred acres costs nearly 900 million acres. In fact, many of the land in the world belong to the royal family and the imperial court. In addition, the noble officials and powerful landlords also occupied a large amount of private land.

So if you get rid of these, you will probably have more than half of the land that can truly equalize the fields.

In many places, even twenty acres of Yongye land are insufficient.

During the Sui Dynasty, the equal-land system and renting and mediocre adjustment were the basic national policy, and the taxation basis was D, so the household registration and Ding were extremely strict. This was also the fundamental reason why the three million households in the early Sui Dynasty quickly increased to nearly 9 million households.

However, although the household registration statistics of the Sui Dynasty were good, there were many households who did not teach in the Sui Dynasty. There were actually not many people who actually paid taxes and served in the Sui Dynasty. Official statistics from the court showed that 401,000 yuan was given silk, 490,000 yuan was given cloth, and the total number of students was only more than 8 million, and basically only one student was only one student per household.

Therefore, the regular tax during the Sui Dynasty had a year of less than 33 million stones of grain, four million pieces of silk and more than six million lines of linen.

Now the emperor said that the Qin Dynasty would change the maximum limit of 100 acres of land per household to a maximum of 100 acres of land per household, which is a huge change.

Except for slaves, all citizens of the Qin Dynasty who were naturalized can be divided into land, with a minimum of ten acres of land for each person, regardless of gender, age or age, and a maximum of one household can be divided into 100 acres of land.

The current household registration statistics of Daqin are more than 12 million households and a population of more than 80 million. Among them, there are more than 10 million slaves and more than 10 million naturalized barbarians.

In addition to slaves, there is still more than 70 million people, with a minimum of ten acres of land per person, which means that at least more than 700 million acres of land is needed. In addition, the imperial villages, public land, private land for noble officials and powerful landlords, as well as military land, vocational land, etc. in various places, which requires more than one billion acres of land.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to migrate some of the population in the Central Plains to the frontier, after all, there are many areas in the frontier and few people.

The Central Plains really need to be divided, and some villages are divided by the entrance, and each person may not be divided by one acre of land, so immigrants must be mobilized.

In this era where farming is the main purpose, without their own fields, they will never be able to solve their food and clothing, and they cannot escape poverty. If the people cannot even solve their food and clothing, how can they contribute to the finances of the court?

"For the private land of noble officials and landlords, the land in the Central Plains must be limited to death, and another one must be added. The Yongye land granted by the people is only allowed to be bought and sold among the villagers in the village."

"Sage, is this one too much?"

"I think it's very suitable. If this opening is released, the arable land in the Central Plains will not last long, and it will inevitably be merged by powerful households. Therefore, the court cannot let go of this opening. If you want to buy land, you can do it, but you can only let go of the south and border areas."

"Where are less than ten acres of land per capita, some people should be mobilized to move. The population with the smallest land should be moved first. The ultimate goal is to make the northern region with a large population change the dilemma of large populations and small land, and to make every people have at least ten acres of land."

With a large population and a small land, various problems will inevitably occur, so how to adjust this contradiction has become the foundation for governing people's livelihood.

"It's hard to leave your hometown. To give the people a household on the border, it means giving 200 acres of land, and each person gives ten acres of permanent land. They may not be willing to give up their current hometown, which has only 10 or 20 acres of land."

"I can't bear to leave, but I have to leave. This is not only to get rid of poverty and enter the food and clothing of the people, but also the court's century-long stability plan. Otherwise, the newly captured Baekje, Linyi and other places would not be able to maintain, and the borders would be even more impossible to develop. The army stationed in the borders may not be able to support them. In the end, the court may only give up these blood-hitting places, and eventually the other barbarians will occupy them, and sooner or later become a confidant. Therefore, the fundamental solution is to immigrate. We immigrate to occupy him, develop him, garrison there, and become our new home there, so that other barbarians can no longer be involved."

One household in the Central Plains gives twenty acres of permanent land, at least ten acres of land per person, and at most one household, at most one hundred acres of land.

When immigrating to border areas, the court can give each person an attractive policy of land distribution of ten acres of permanent land and at least two hundred acres of land per household.

"Sage, I think the attendants should take the lead in setting an example. All the attendants stationed in the border must move their families, so that the soldiers can also guard the border with peace of mind."

Luo Cheng nodded, "For the soldiers in the guard camp, the court must not only let them take the lead, but also give them real benefits. I think that each soldier can give 100 acres of military land without paying land tax. Their families will still give 10 acres of Yongye land every time they move to the garrison, and each family will give 200 acres of land. In addition to the Yongye land, the rest will be divided into 200 acres of land. These 200 acres of land are not included in the military land of the soldiers."

"The border areas can also appropriately relax some land purchase and sale restrictions, allowing nobles and powerful people to go over to buy land and build land, build manors, etc.."

The more everyone discussed the more intensely.

Land policy can be said to be the foundation of a country. Although the main source of fiscal revenue of the imperial court is not the land tax, it involves the stability of the world and a major event involving tens of millions of people.

Must be careful.

"Dividing land to grant land, then in the end should we divide the land by people or by households?" Wei Zheng asked, there must be a standard for everything.

One dime has a minimum of ten acres and a maximum of hundreds of acres per household. These are just two limits, but how to divide it specifically, is it divided based on people or households?

"I think that each household can first divide ten acres of permanent land and add forty acres of land. This is the basic land. Then, according to the actual number of households, fine-tuning. For example, if the population is five or less, then it is 50 acres per household. If the family population exceeds five, then add ten acres per household, but the upper limit is 10 acres."

Wei Zheng nodded. A household was given at least 50 acres of land. If it was carefully cultivated, it would be good.

"There is a standard for dividing households? By dividing land by household, many people will have to divide households. For example, the family lived together for three generations, with two grandparents, and three sons under it. The sons each started a family and had children, but they were all one family, with more than a dozen people. If the upper limit was based on the new regulations, they could only be divided into 100 acres. But if the family was divided into four households, they could be divided into at least 200 acres of land, which was twice the difference!"

"In this case, as long as there are several sons in a household, the son can apply for a separate household if he grows up and gets married and has children. However, parents must live with one son, and they cannot all the father and son. In principle, we encourage parents to live with their youngest sons, and other sons can be separated and lived in another household after they become parents."

The court actually encouraged such household divisions, because under the two-tax system, in addition to levied land tax based on land acres, household tax should also be levied according to household tax. If one more household is demolished, one more household tax should be levied.

In that family, two of the three brothers went out in separate households, and the youngest son did not separate households. One household became three households, with a land volume of at least 150 acres. If the population is large, it can be increased further.

In this regard, the court did not object or even encourage it.

"Can the slaves in the family share the land?"

"Of course this is impossible. Our dynasty is not the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasty. Now there are many people and few lands, so we will not give land to slaves, cattle and horses."

"Sage, the land is fertile and poor, how can this be solved?"
