Some people say that the greatest increase in labor productivity is the result of division of labor. Qin Lang agrees with this sentence. Even the primitive and barbaric tribes know that men hunt and women collect it.

In those fishing and hunting tribes, whether strong or old or weak, everyone divided the work and cooperated and engaged in different labors. And an empire as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of millions of people on the frontiers had greater potential. When they reformed the new policy and released the simple production policy that restricted the people on the land in the past, the Tang Dynasty also burst out with incomparable powerful productivity.

Qin Lang is the chief designer for Luzon's future.

Every decision he made now affects the future development of Luzon. If he is not careful, he may lose everything. Some people believe that Luzon has solved the problem of legitimacy and has a formal identity, so he can develop step by step in the future.

Luzon Island hangs overseas, but the conditions are very good. Just one Luzon Plain is equivalent to the 800-mile Qinchuan or the Jianghuai Plain. How many dynasty empires have been nurtured by the 800-mile Qinchuan?

By reclaiming wasteland, farming, and developing agriculture, everyone becomes a landlord, and those who plough have their own land and those who live have their own houses. The Governor's Office collects in-kind taxes, which are simple and easy to deal with. If you do nothing, Luzon can develop rapidly.

Qin Lang was not satisfied with this retro thinking, especially some people proposed a more comprehensive retro plan, and some even took Confucian classics and proposed to restore the well-field system and implement the well-field law in Luzon.

The well-field system was implemented by the Zhou Dynasty. Later, when the Qin Dynasty's commercial rice reform was to abandon the well-field and open up the fields.

What was the earliest well-field system? It was that the land in the world was all kingly land. As the saying goes, all the world was kingly land, and all the guests of the earth were kingly subjects.

Therefore, the land system of the Zhou Dynasty was that the land king had, and this king had was also very mysterious, because it was not a public ownership state, so it was called a king with it. The king had was the private property of the Zhou emperor.

However, the Zhou emperor was the common ruler of the world after all, so the land system of the Zhou Dynasty could not be regarded as private land ownership.

All the land belongs to the Zhou emperor, and then the Zhou emperor grants the land to the princes, but the ownership of these lands still belongs to the Zhou emperor. The princes only have the right to use the land, and after taking the land of the Zhou emperor, they still have to pay tribute, which is equivalent to actually paying rent.

The same is true for literati and officials at all levels below the princes and even free people owning land.

For example, the Emperor of Zhou conferred Jiang Ziya and Lu Shang to Qi to establish a country. Jiang Ziya then divided his fiefdom to his literati, and his literati and officials then distributed the land to the people in his fiefs to cultivate.

However, this kind of land division is not completely divided. Nobles at all levels will leave a part of the land. This part is often called public fields. Public fields are generally cultivated by slaves, but they will also be asked to allocate private fields to help farm.

The income from public land is owned, while the income from private land is only collected for rent.

Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty had a well-field system. At the beginning, a large piece of land was divided into nine squares, and the surrounding eight pieces of land was all divided into farming for the people, and then the middle piece was public fields. While the people of the eight pieces of land had to cultivate their own land, they had to cultivate public fields for their lords for free, and the income from public fields belonged to the lords.

Of course, under the system of feudal divisions, for example, a scholar-official is often a vassal of a monarch, so his land is equivalent to the private land distributed to him by the monarch, so he has to give one of his total income to the higher monarch.

The king must also hand over to heaven again.

However, the Wellfield Method with the same nine-grid grid is only ideal, so the core of the Wellfield Method is public and private fields, and private fields are granted layer by layer, and then a piece of public and private fields is retained by themselves. The owner of the private fields has to cultivate private fields for the lord, which is similar to a free service.

Later, the Zhou Dynasty expanded and developed, not only to farm in places that were easy to water near water sources, but also to cultivate and plant in places that were not easy to water. If there was no water, then dig a well to get water.

The Zhou Dynasty fully implemented the well-driving technology, creating a situation where it was possible to cultivate wells.

Therefore, after the development of the well-field system in the later stages, the square nine-grid well fields had long disappeared, but the well-driving and watering technology and the public-private field system.

However, the private land in the well-field system is not completely considered private land. In theory, it is still the kingdom of the Emperor of Zhou. He divided the kingdom to the princes, the princes to his own ministers, the nobles to the officials, and the officials to the officials, and the officials to the scholars. The scholars are the lowest-level nobles and also have their own fiefs and entrusted people, so they distribute the land to the lowest-level people, and at the same time use slaves to cultivate public fields.

These fields were sealed out, and they were still nominally owned by the Emperor of Zhou and could still be taken back.

After the Qin Dynasty, the land system of the dynasties experienced in various dynasties was actually the public ownership system, and there was no real private ownership. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the land was mainly divided by the mouth and the land was returned after death, and the land in Yongye was mainly mulberry fields.

But now, the imperial court cannot suppress annexation, but is actually taking the route of privatization of land.

Even the Central Plains did not suppress annexation and pursued private ownership. How could Luzon still reverse the situation?

So these days, Qin Lang has been busy with these institutional and policy-based things.

"Not establishing a land system or suppressing annexation is the national policy of the court, and Luzon is of course no exception."

Qin Lang held a meeting in the Governor's Office of Tooth City, San Francisco, and once again reiterated this basic policy. Qin Lang's plan was relatively simple. Now all the land in Luzon is private, and everything belongs to the lord Qin Lang.

It is privately owned by Qin Lang, not the Luzon Governor's Office.

Qin Lang has the right to sell all land, mines and other assets in Luzon. Of course, because Luzon is the overseas governor's office, the governor's office is Qin Lang's agency.

"Where is the method of teaching fields still necessary?"

In order to attract immigrants, a very generous immigration settlement law was established, including the method of granting land. When we come, we can divide the land and give it to people. Anyway, the conditions are good, and the fields we have given are all designated as Yongye land, that is, private land, and there is no need to return it after death in the future.

"In order to unify the policy, it was changed to a sale. Anyone who has no land in Luzon can enjoy preferential land purchase policies when they settle in Luzon. For men over 15 years old and under 50 years old, one person can purchase 80 mu of land and a woman can purchase 40 mu of land. The land sold at the best price is only a constant amount of money per mu, and an installment repayment agreement can be handled."

Before, he was divided into land and gave land. Now Qin Lang felt that since he wanted to privatize, he would go to the end and not divide it, but instead sold it. The price was very cheap. One acre of land was always expensive, and the price was indeed not expensive. But if ordinary people could not afford so much money for a single or two hundred acres, what should they do?

You can get a loan, interest-free, or repay it in installments, with interest-free up to ten years, or you can apply for low-interest installments for twenty or thirty years.

You first buy the land and plant it. After you get the profit, you will pay back some principal and interest every year and slowly pay it back. For example, a single man bought 80 acres of land, with a land price of 80 kennels, and then paid it back in installments for twenty years. In summer and autumn, it is forty periods, and one period only requires four kennels to be paid back.

The harvest of eighty acres of land in a quarter will require about a hundred stones of grain, and the gross harvest will cost about ten chunks of money.

It can even be sold cheaper, and it can be sold for 800 or even 500 yuan per acre. For these land sold at low prices, you can just put some restrictions on it. It will take ten or twenty years to sell it.

In general, the sale of land at a low price instead of free land granting will continue to attract immigrants.

There are no restrictions on landlords to buy and sell land, but the land and houses must be paid for deed tax. You can buy whatever you want. As long as you have money, as long as you don’t buy restricted circulating land sold to new immigrants at low prices, that’s right. But every transaction must be made through the government and pay the deed tax.

The deed tax is levied on the buyer at a tax rate of 10%.

This tax is not low. In addition to land, houses and shops also have to be levied on transaction deeds.

With this deed tax, Qin Lang didn't care about the merger and transfer of land. Every time it was transferred, he could collect taxes. It was levied at one tenth of the transaction volume. Ten times were equivalent to selling the land again.

At the same time, there is no such thing as tax exemption for aristocratic scholars and officials. The basic two taxes are based on land and property. Land tax is levied on a mu, and even the population tax is distributed into the land acres. The original Yao servants are now allocated for money and are also distributed into the land acres.

So there is no need to worry about land annexation and transfer. It’s okay to concentrate the land in the hands of the landlords.

This was how the later Song Dynasty did it, so although the land annexation in the Song Dynasty was serious, it was the dynasty with the least peasant uprisings in all dynasties.

Unsuppressing mergers will inevitably bring a direction, that is, a large number of people become tenants or enter towns, become handicraftsmen, and become workers.

Therefore, as long as we continue to follow the tenancy law promulgated by the court in the early years, we don’t have to worry too much about what to do with landless farmers. In essence, there is no difference between landlords’ land and land where the court has planted them, because they all have to pay rent and pay taxes.

In the past, the heaviest burden on the people was actually the cap tax. The rent-in-one adjustment in the early Tang Dynasty was essentially the cap tax. No matter how much land you were allocated to, the tax was not linked to the land and property, but was only levied according to Dingkou and households.

So under the tax system in the past, it was better to have land. After all, it was possible to make money and pay taxes. If you had no land and had to bear taxes, it would be a death for everyone. So everyone would rather be slaves to landlords and nobles. If you are not good people, you are not a householder and a member of the household will not have to pay taxes.

The nobles were happy to accept these people who worked for the job because they had political privileges and were exempted from the state, and no matter how much land they were, they would not have to pay taxes to serve.

This is the extremely unreasonable way of the local tax system. Of course, the court could see the problem. However, the world was in turmoil in the past, and the court was full of those who benefited both the interests and did not dare to make too much reforms due to internal and external troubles, otherwise the country would be destroyed.

At the beginning of Zhenguan, the world was reunified, and the old interest groups had been broken. The emperor was a wise and powerful monarch who had appeared every few hundred years. The ruling officials in the court were also mainly new nobles. Of course, they would not protect the old nobles and old interest groups.

The only thing that can determine the head is not that you can't see through, but that the original people are reluctant to let go of their own interests, and later generations are happy to redistribute their interests.

This also requires a specific political environment.
