Chapter 654 Guo Jia’s opinion

At Liu Cheng's house, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia in front of him and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia immediately confirmed that those people were sent by Uncle Liu Huang in front of him.

Uncle Liu Huang in front of him knew all about his whereabouts in Guanzhong.

At the same time, he also knew that the time had come for Uncle Liu Huang to test himself.

Perhaps Uncle Liu Huang really trusted Xun Wenruo extremely.

And also saw Xun Wenruo’s talent.

That's why I'm so concerned about myself, the person recommended by Xun Wenruo.

Such importance.

Such a high standard of reception was given.

However, relying solely on the respect brought by outsiders will not last long.

If you want to continue for a long time, you must have real talent and learning.

As the saying goes, to make iron you need to be strong yourself, this is the truth.

Guo Jia put down his chopsticks, quickly sorted out his thoughts in his mind and said, "Uncle Huang, to be honest, Guanzhong is really exciting.

My trip this time was from Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Along the way, we passed through Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places. Only with the experience there can we realize more strongly how good Guanzhong is today.

How exciting.

This kind of vitality was something that even when the big man had not reached this level, he had never really had it.

I once heard someone say that the dragon veins in Guanzhong that had been dormant for a long time began to revive.

The theory of Wangqi is not credible, but sometimes, we can see something from it...

The scenery in Guanzhong is fascinating.

But while it is fascinating, there is a crisis looming behind it.

It makes people worry that this exciting scene cannot last long..."

"...to have such a scene in Guanzhong, the emperor's wise uncle deserves the greatest credit.

Attacking and suppressing aristocratic families is also an important part of it.

This land is limited. The more land owned by aristocratic families, the less land held by the common people.

The less land the people own, the less food they produce.

The common people have little food in their hands, but they have to bear the taxes that the wealthy families have to bear...

The people are getting poorer and poorer, and they are becoming more and more unable to survive.

But those wealthy families are getting richer and richer...

Are these wealthy and powerful families really of great use to the court?

There are definitely some good effects, but more of them are bad effects.

I won’t talk about the rest, just talk about the current situation.

Now that the big man has become what he is now, these aristocratic families of the big man have played an indispensable role in it...

There is such a scene in Guanzhong, and the emperor's uncle's attack and suppression of the aristocratic family also played a great positive role...

But... these aristocratic families are able to exist for such a long time because they have support and confidence.

The fundamental reason is that they have cultural heritage and can cultivate talents.

We cannot govern the country without them.

Otherwise, there would not have been super big families with four generations and three fathers, such as the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family.

Of course, aristocratic families are not all made of iron, and one group can be used to deal with another group...

But these only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Did the emperors in the past do this?

They do the same thing.

Some even directly use cool officials.

But the result is still that the aristocratic family is getting bigger day by day...

This is where the biggest crisis I feel lies.

If we cannot fundamentally solve the problems of the aristocratic families, then the situation in Guanzhong from now on may not last long..."

After Guo Jia spoke for a while, he paused and continued: "In addition, there is another problem, which is still the problem of land.

Generally speaking, when a dynasty comes to an end and is in the early stages of turmoil, everything is in ruins.

At this time, as long as there is not too much turmoil, the entire country will be prosperous.

Overall it seems relatively calm.

One of the main reasons for this is that after the previous great turmoil, many people died and a large amount of ownerless land appeared.

Land annexation is not particularly serious.

But with the development of time, during a stable period, the population will develop rapidly.

As the population continues to increase, the land remains the same.

And at this time, the original aristocratic families or powerful country gentry gradually developed and occupied large amounts of land through various means...

At that time, the land that many people can own will become even less.

Once a person cannot survive and life is very difficult, all kinds of things will easily happen.

This is also human nature...

You can't ask people who can't survive to starve to death...

At that time, the court's tax revenue will also be greatly reduced...

To be honest, this problem seems to be the fundamental problem.

If such a problem cannot be solved, then even if a new dynasty is really established, I am afraid that it will be destroyed again in one or two hundred years, or if it takes some time..."

Guo Jia looked at Liu Cheng and said this.

Liu Cheng sat there and nodded.

I feel very good about Guo Jia.

This is indeed a person who has left a great reputation in history and is called a genius.

Although I am young and still affected by historical limitations, it is extremely difficult to be able to see these things under such circumstances.

Guo Jia deserves to be Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao's words are really shocking. Through the vitality of Guanzhong, you can see the crisis behind it, and you can even see the fundamental thing of land...

What Wen Ruo said is right, Feng Xiao is indeed a great talent."

"Now that we see the crisis, does Fengxiao have a solution?"

Liu Cheng looked at Guo Jia and asked.

After hearing Liu Cheng's inquiry, Guo Jia seemed a little silent.

"Uncle Huang, Guo Jia is stupid. He can only see the problems of the aristocratic family, but he can't think of a way to replace the aristocratic family...

What I said is in vain. A wise and powerful man like the emperor must have seen this a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have directly attacked the wealthy families in Guanzhong, Yizhou and other places.

Put restrictions on them.

As for the subsequent increase in population and the shortage of land, I do have some thoughts.

The most fundamental one is to find new places suitable for development and survival, and incorporate them into the Han Dynasty to increase the land of the Han Dynasty.

Then a series of methods were used to assist.

Let people live in this newly conquered land.

In addition, you may try to develop some businesses...

However, these are not easy to do.

Especially new land.

When that time comes, I'm afraid there will be all kinds of things that will involve each other. Whether it can really be realized depends on whether the emperor at that time has the courage and means..."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Cheng nodded again.

Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are indeed extraordinary.

Many things were brought to the point.

To solve the contradiction between man and land, on the one hand, we need to increase land.

On the other hand, it is the development of industry and commerce.

It will separate many people from the land.

Not engaged in the farming industry

In this case, the contradiction between man and land can be greatly alleviated...
To be continued...
