Feng Yi said, "My son thought that the lord might have had this idea long ago."
Feng Zhen glanced at his bear son.
Yes, this kid is no longer the good shoot he is proud of, but the bear son Fengyi!
Fengyi asked in a low voice, "Son dare to ask father, how do you think Daxia and even Dongqing destroyed the country?"
Feng Zhen's brows could not help frowning, the question of the bear son was quite meaningful.
"If the prosperous dynasty is to survive for a long time, naturally it cannot fall again on the same issue."
Feng Zhen stared at his son with an unfamiliar look, and was silent for a long time, making Wan Xiuer, a bystander, unable to sit still.
After a long time, Feng Zhen sighed and said to his son.
"If you have any ideas, tell me."
Feng Zhen guessed that Feng Yi's secret letter was indeed in Jiang Pengji's hands.
Only she and Wei Ci had seen the contents of the letter.
"Good bamboo shoots out, Feng Zhen, what a good deed he did in his last life, to be able to share such a son." Wei Ci carefully folded the secret letter, brought an oil lamp to light it, and the orange flame rushed up. , devoured the secret letter in an instant, "Wen Zheng and the eldest lady of Huaiyu's family are also amazing, given time, there will be a place in the court..."
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "This also shows that the education of Jinlin Academy is successful, and the children of Fengyi are the best proof."
Under the relatively open educational model of Jinlin Academy, these students have a longer horizon than expected, and they can vaguely touch the connotation of Jiang Pengji's game of chess. Although it is due to its own talent, the education received also played a big role.
Wei Ci said, "My lord's meaning...is it really as Fengyi said..."
Jiang Pengji said, "A few children... Oh, they are still young, and they only guessed 30% of the time if they dared to guess."
Limited by the times, very few scholars dare to put the blame of destroying the country on issues such as taxation, gentry, and land annexation.
Why
Because most scholars are of noble birth, when questioning these questions, they are also denying their own class and harming their own interests.
Fengyi's few children can jump out of the fence, this kind of awareness is rare.
Wei Ci said, "How does the lord plan to respond?"
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Give me a marriage, just let them know what to do."
She spent so many years planning, and now is not a good time to show her fangs.
Because the bureau she laid out challenges the interests that have been entrenched for hundreds of years, and concerns the interests and fate of too many people.
What is the root cause of the destruction of the countries such as Daxia and Dongqing
Class benefits are unevenly distributed.
The fewest people occupy 99% of the resources, how can society not be in chaos
Dynasty replacement is just a shuffle of resources again and again.
If Jiang Pengji wants to make the future dynasty last longer and let the people enjoy longer peace, she must try to distribute resources more evenly. Evenly divided means that the guy who owns 99% of the resources will take out the things in his pocket.
No one is a saint, and it is impossible for the gentry to be the beneficiaries.
Jiang Pengji's attempt to slow down the land annexation is essentially mobilizing the fundamental interests of this class, not to mention that she has also acquired the Golden Scale Academy and vigorously promoted education, which itself is also challenging the monopoly of the gentry class on education _(:з)∠) _
It is also interesting to say that, if we get to the bottom of it, the noble nobles were also born as powerful landlords.
They exchanged political and economic privileges through political investments and games again and again.
Several generations of management, starting from the local government, gradually encroaching on the central government, gaining a firm foothold and gaining more right to speak.
They huddled together to keep warm, grew rapidly, annexed countless lands, enjoyed various privileges, and gradually became a famous family of later generations.
The cake is limited, and if they want to enjoy more benefits, they will kick down the guy who tries to climb up to share their cake.
As a result, officialdom monopoly and cultural monopoly came into being.
Jiang Pengji wanted to interrupt this monopoly, and it was useless to rely solely on violence, murder, and crushing.
Without this group of gentry, the poor families who climbed up would also become newly-promoted elites, endless and endless.
Don't think that the poor families are suffering from the contempt of the gentry, they will represent the vast majority of the common people and strive for the interests of the common people.
The poor will only work hard to climb up and join the gentry group, and they will transform into a new exploitative class with peace of mind.
Therefore, what Jiang Pengji really has to deal with is not only the nobles, but also the upstarts from the poor family.
The purpose of Jinlin Academy and the promotion of cultural education is to break the monopoly of culture. Of course, the audience in the live broadcast room also said that there are pros and cons to "taking the imperial examination". Jiang Pengji still needs to study and study, try to integrate the examination and teaching system of the previous federation as much as possible, and transform it into a new system that can adapt to this era...
At least, let the people at the bottom see the hope of changing their fate.
As long as the source of officials is expanded, it will naturally have an impact on the monopoly of the gentry. But Jiang Pengji not only had to guard against the nobility, but also guard against these upstarts. Therefore, how to control them reasonably and narrow the distance between them and ordinary people is the top priority.
As this problem surfaced, servitude reform was inevitable.
The original servitude system gave the gentry a green light, making the rich richer and the poor poorer, and the speed of land annexation is getting faster and faster. In the end, all the fields in the hands of the common people flowed into the hands of the nobles, and the resource balance was completely tilted.
In other eras, the tax rate of the rich can be increased, and a high inheritance tax can be set, so that the gap between the rich and the poor will not be too large. But in this day and age, don't count on inheritance tax, and high tax rates for exploiting classes are difficult to implement.
After all, it is these wicked exploitative classes who make the law.
If you do this, you are afraid that more than half of the confidants around you will turn against the water. She is not so reckless, so she has to change her mind. While reducing the burden on the people as much as possible, she can create income for them, and at the same time, boil frogs in warm water to achieve the goal of beating local tyrants.
The existing servitude system is definitely not feasible, and it is one of the accomplices of land annexation.
Compared with the gentry and the common people, ordinary people are weak, and it is difficult for them to keep the land in their hands.
Jiang Pengji came to a one-size-fits-all approach, so that all the land was nationalized, in order to curb land mergers.
Rather than being state-owned, it would be better to say that it is owned by the "royal family".
This requires a hard fist.
So far, Jiang Pengji has done a good job at this point, plundering wherever he hits.
On this basis, the miscellaneous tax items related to the land tax are merged into the local tax, which reduces the workload of government tax collection and reduces the complexity of the links, which can also reduce the risk of tax evasion and evasion. The common people leased land of varying areas from the government according to the number of people in the family, and the land tax was based on the common people's annual harvest.
"If this decision spreads out, the gentry and sects will not be allowed to collectively fry pots—"
Jiang Pengji thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Feng Zhen.
For the sake of his son's life, don't even think about going on this cargo on her pirate ship.
