Chapter 1968 Why is fair

This actually involves a very scam system in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, aristocratic families actually manage various regions

Now Chen Xi has pried away the aristocratic family and given the country the opportunity to regain the bottom. However, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been declining for two hundred years. Not only are there aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time, but also some powerful landlords who have emerged from three generations.

The youngest ones are like Zhang Fei, who are rich, have land and have escorts, but have no official position. Although they are a little famous in the villages, they are under the pressure of local families. In fact, they don’t have much to do.

The big ones, like Mi Zhu, have no official positions and titles, but they really have financial and material resources that are not inferior to those of aristocratic families. They are very famous in a county. Even if the local aristocratic families are not too strong, they may need to give the other party some face, but they are not actual managers.

Now Chen Xi has pledged away the Central Plains family and formed a power vacuum period. These powerful landlords with certain reputations have stepped forward. Under the banner of maintaining local stability, they will definitely make the areas within their abilities as stable as before.

The biggest problem now is that the government in the late Han Dynasty could not arrange an official for a small village with hundreds of people, but only arrange officials for the county town, then the final result would be almost the countryside to surround the city.

Although the big head was destroyed and the aristocratic family was out of the way, the powerful landlords outside the city controlled a zone like the original aristocratic families. Although they had less power than the previous aristocratic families, why should I share the benefits for you!

"By the way, what is the proportion of officials and citizens now?" Chen Xi asked.

"It's almost 7,500 to one." Lu Su said helplessly. This is also the important reason why Lu Su said that it is inevitable to share the wealth of powerful landlords, because it is impossible to get an official to manage a small village with hundreds of people.

"Getting villages and villages and villages and villages and villages and villages and villages!" Chen Xi said with an unhappy look on his face.

"I have considered it. If you gather villages and villages, not to mention how to deal with powerful landlords, you just talk about how to allocate landlords. If you have 50 acres per person, have you ever thought about it? How big is a standard village, based on the standard of 3,000 to 5,000 people?" Li You said helplessly.

"I have calculated it in a radius of ten miles before." Chen Xi said without thinking, "a standard village of three thousand people."

"What about the population moving in from now on? What about someone born?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and said, "Your method is indeed easy to manage, but how to deal with subsequent problems?"

"Well, the land of the aristocratic families has been taken over to the government. The people only have the right to farm. Besides, how much land can the people have now? In fact, after gathering villages and villages, the so-called fifty acres of land were given by us." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

Chen Xi knew how much land the people could have in the late Han Dynasty could have, and it would definitely not be too much. If there were too many, the people would not have gone to farm for the aristocratic families, powerful people, and landlords.

Therefore, when dividing, although all lands are taxed the same, and there are fifty acres, each family is different. To be precise, it is to make up for fifty acres of land, rather than the land that is always distributed to the people.

"Where are there too many people?" Li You looked at Chen Xi with an expressionless face and said.

"Then each household must have less." Chen Xi looked at a natural expression. "How we want to divide the land is the government's own business, and it's even let them divide it again every ten years. In this way, there will be no problem of whether the land is good or bad, and it's just take turns to plant it."

Lu Su's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that there would be another trick, but it was indeed a good way to solve the problem, but the disadvantages were also very big.

"The problem is that this is a disadvantage. The saint said that we should not worry about being weak but not being equal." Lu Su said after a while.

"As time goes by, if some villages have fewer people, the land of each household will increase more and more, and if some villages have more and more people, the land of each household will continue to decrease. This is fair." Li You said with a frown.

"Ha, this is not a problem. The land is decreasing, and they can choose to move out. Since they do not move out, the land will have their own responsibilities as it becomes smaller. If no one wants their own land to become smaller, there are only two options: controlling the population and expanding the territory." Chen Xi said indifferently with his hands spread out.

"Just want to get a bargain in the rear, then you should guard the land given to you by the country and think about how to survive better. All the country can give is a basic living standard. If you want higher and better, you can fight for it yourself." Chen Xi curled his lips disdainfully.

"The world is very big. There are more places to farm. I just want to get a bargain at the back. The fifty acres of land are the basis for your survival for the country, so don't think about anything else." Chen Xi said indifferently, "Oh, there may not be fifty acres in the back."

"Are you not afraid of unrest when you play like this?" Li You said after being silent for a while.

"Liu Weishuo is engaged in publicity, don't you even know this? Tell them that they want to live a better life and create it yourself. You are lazy because you are not doing well. The country has given you the foundation for survival. Don't blame the country for being like this. Look at someone who has expanded his territory and has become a landlord now!" Chen Xi curled his lips and said.

"..." Li You and Lu Su were both silent, and suddenly realized that Chen Xi's approach seemed to be very confusing. Indeed, why did those who were scrambling to be fair to others?

"Okay, if that happens, there is no problem. Continue to merge villages and villages, we need to set up an official position in three standard villages. After all, according to your habits, the land of villages must be planned in square shapes." Li You confirmed after a while that there was no problem with this and spoke.

"It is necessary to have a part-time veterinary doctor in a village with three thousand people, and you can also build roads, build a primary school, and equip militias, so other infrastructure is necessary." Chen Xi said, touching his chin.

Chen Xi does not have so many doctors in a small village with hundreds of people, and the road construction plan needs to be postponed for a long time, and various other infrastructures will basically not be arranged in that kind of small village.

So if you don’t go to a big village, it’s a waste to get a lot of things over. The advantage of gathering villages and villages lies in the fact that they are more resource utilization.

"Indeed, a village with 3,000 people is qualified to equip these, and water conservancy construction is necessary to consider. Small villages are really meaningless." Li You nodded, "If this happens, follow this. If the hometown is hard to leave, merge nearby."

"If you are near, what should I do if I have a grudge?" Lu Su had seen two neighboring villages become deadly revenge due to water use.

"This is also a problem? Demolition of clans. Nowadays, those villages are basically one family. If you demolish them, you can put five households in this village and five households in that village, so that no family or household will have an advantage!" Chen Xi said unhappily.

"Okay, Zichuan, you're enough. Such words are impossible. If you do that, you must make people angry and resentful." Li You waved his hand and said, "Force to move, we can do it with our ability, but if the clan is demolished and the government does this, it will definitely make people angry and resentful."

"Okay, then merge nearby and separate those with hatred. The powerful landlords, check the reputation of the local area. If you don't do evil, then give him two choices. One is to buy land and suppress him to less than a thousand acres, and the other is to let him go to the northeast as well." Chen Xi thought for a while and spoke.

Chen Xi did not say how to deal with evil. In fact, everyone knows that of course it is to deal with it according to law, and then the land is confiscated. It is necessary to kill and punish it.

"Can you move to the northeast?" Li You nodded. In fact, Chen Xi's words were already very clear. Landlords with more than a thousand acres and well-known were actually a little motivated, and they were even trying to find ways to find opportunities to keep their own.

The so-called wealth and honor are passed down from generation to generation, but only for three generations. If you want to truly pass on your own family, you must find a way to turn your family into a family through farming and reading, or even morality. The so-called morality and family through family through tone is actually a kind of thought.

Most of the families of the Eastern Han Dynasty evolved from the pre-Qin aristocrats, so they mostly had some moral factors in inheriting the family. As for the normal powerful landlords in later generations, if they wanted to pass on the family, they hoped more to farm and study. As for the one behind, to be honest, there is no saint or pioneers of the school in their family.

Since those people have this idea, Chen Xi has no intention of stopping them. It is also beneficial for Chen Xi to be willing to do this. If you can die less, you will die less. In the end, manpower is also an extremely important resource.

"Since this is the case, we will follow the previous plan. We have not done anything before. If we do it now, we have experience and it should not take too much time. Which of you two has time?" Chen Xi asked when he saw that neither of them had any problems.

Li You thought for a moment, "I'll do it, this job is also part of the household registration, and doing so is equivalent to re-compiling the household registration."

"Okay, then it's up to you, but I'm very strange. You've been doing household registration for several years. Why do you feel like you've been doing it all the time?" Chen Xi asked curiously. If you remember correctly, you started household registration a few years ago when Li Youcai came, and he is still doing it now.

"There are slight adjustments, and I am constantly revising and revising them, and I will also abandon some of my household registration." Li You's eyes pulled slightly and said calmly, "But there is no big problem. You can get a real household registration in a while."

"Okay, how has the bridge over Gongyou been repaired, and how has I arranged for Gong Wen of Zheng to do it?" Chen Xi changed the topic and turned to Lu Su and asked. These things were arranged before he left, and I don't know how he has done so far.

The grave soil and weeds say

In fact, fairness is really relative. Chen Xi’s tendency is my clear tendency...
