Chapter 211 If you can't be the owner, then start your own business! Ask for a monthly ticket)

Divide the fields and land, and the storm is coming!

In the summer of the first year of Hongwu, with the promulgation of the law of changing land for cloth tickets, a land reform storm that had been brewing for a long time finally began to sweep away from the four camps and fields in Shaanxi, western Beijing, Hebei and Hedong with Luoyang as the center!

This time, the "Yingtian Land Reform" sounds like a very progressive land reform! But in fact, it has a strong feudal nature. The land of Yingtian Four Roads, whether it is Yongye Field, Jue Field, and Guantian, is tied to military obligations. Moreover, the land is theoretically "king land", which means it belongs to Zhao Kai, the official family, and Zhao Kai is "sealed" to military landlords of allegiance to exchange for their loyalty to the army.

This is the essence of the military system!

According to the finalized plan, in the current "Yingtian Four Roads", the upper limit of the military households in the government will be set at 400,000 households, which means that there are still about 40,000 landlords who can retain all or part of the land by undertaking military service.

And farmers outside these 400,000 households will find it difficult to obtain their own land on the territory of Yingtian Fourth Road. Although most of them failed to preserve their land in the peaceful and prosperous times of the Song Dynasty and had to become tenant farmers customers, before the implementation of the "Yingtian Land Reform", they could still get the opportunity to become rich by engaging in industry and commerce, thereby purchasing land, becoming landlords, and then further elevated to scholars and officials by investing in education for their children.

However, after the "land reform in Yingtian", this road of upward development for more than a hundred years has been implemented, which has brought economic prosperity and political stability to the Southern Song Dynasty (the dynasty founded by Zhao Kuangyin) and no longer exists!

If the farmers in Yingtian Fourth Road want to obtain land, they have to join the army to fight!

If you want to get an official position, the best way is to have meritorious service in the army and the imperial examination is not closed, but there are too few noble Jinshi places, which is very difficult to take. Although there are more miscellaneous philosophers, you must also understand "philosophers" and be able to write essays. The learning cost is much higher than that of a single liberal arts subject!

Of course, there are still ways to make money in "Records of the Grand Historian" that you should make money with the end, and you should keep it with the root!

Farming has never been a good way to make money, and it is easier to make money in the business and business industry. If you make money in the business industry and business industry, then buy land and buy property, and then cultivate your children to study and improve. That is the right way!

But this right path is gone now, at least among the Yingtian Fourth Road in the Northern Song Dynasty. Those who made their fortunes through the business and business industry can only go all the way to the end of the industry and business world!

Of course, such land reform is not very popular! After all, only 400,000 households can benefit from it. Even if one household has ten people, it will be four million.

The population of Yingtian Fourth Road will not be less than 16 million. In other words, three-quarters of the population cannot benefit from this land reform. At least more than 100,000 landlords, gentry or industrial and commercial landlords have become the biggest victims of this land reform.

Zhao Kai and his ministers knew that there were not many people supporting the land reform of their land reform in the past two years, and there were many people opposing it. In addition, the wars in the Central Plains have continued, and there were major disasters such as the Yellow River breaking, which was a bit of a waste of people! In order to prevent local gentry from taking the opportunity to incite the poor people to cause chaos and fight against land reform.

So before the official division of land began, Zhao Kai's court began to mobilize troops and make military preparations.

A number of powerful generals including Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Huang Wuji, Li Xiaozhong, Liu Qi, He Ji, He Yu, Wang Yuan, Wang Bing, Wang Yan, Wang De, Li Yongqi, Qu Duan, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, Niu Gao and others led their troops out of Luoyang in mid-to-late June of the first year of Hongwu to defend various places, preparing to suppress possible rebellions!

Only Yue Fei, Dong Jingang, and three generals including the prince-in-law Li Fuchen stayed in Luoyang to protect Zhao Kai, the poor man who "loaned the emperor", there were also many industrial and commercial landlords in Luoyang City. If they rebelled, Yue Fei, Dong Jingang, Li Fuchen and others would take action to suppress it!

"Is there another general out of the city? What happened?"

The outer city of Luoyang, the south bank of Luoshui, and the area of ​​Shangshanfang, which is only separated from Luoyang Palace City by Luoshui, is now the most prosperous area in Luoyang. A place moved from Kaifeng City. The owner opened the restaurant where Fengcai was sold. Several Bianliangzi, who had escaped from Luoyang, poked their heads from the street window and saw a team of knights passing through the Tianjin Bridge and then galloping away from the wide Dingdingmen Street.

"There are soldiers coming out of the imperial city every day. Could it be that the Jin thief is coming again?"

"Maybe this Luoyang City will not be attacked by the Jin thieves, right? The outer surface of Luoyang cannot prevent the Jin thieves!"

Several Bianliangzi showed a panic look when they were talking.

Can you not panic? They were all scared by the Yellow River flood and came to Luoyang to settle down in Luoyang. They looked empty. If they suffered another disaster, they would have to go begging for food.

"Not it?" A man in his forties, wearing a white cloth shirt, slightly fat and elegant appearance shook his head and said with a smile: "There are many Grand Marshals in Luoyang who are decorating the palace these days, and the palace is also needed, which looks quite stable. These soldiers should be there."

The man who was talking was placed next to him with a cage that could carry his way, with pens, ink, paper, and inkstones inside, as well as various paints. He seemed to be a painter. He knew something, but he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped, which made the people next to him itch.

"Wu Dizhao, you are well-informed. Just tell me what you know. As long as it is not a military secret, are you afraid that the Imperial City Department will be captured?"

"Yes, let's talk about it quickly. Is the flood in Kaifeng Prefecture receding and the court is going to move it back?"

"I wish I could go back"

"Kaifeng Mansion"

Those who drank with this martial artist were all merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture. They were not big merchants, but they all had a wealth and had a lot of money in Kaifeng Prefecture. Before the Xuanhe crisis, Kaifeng Prefecture's industries were expensive, and they all had a wealth of wealth!

But now they are all ruined!

The painter named Wu is very famous. He originally had a skill official who was waiting for the Hanlin Painting Academy. In fact, he was not an official and had no qualities, so he could only be considered an official. At the same time, he opened a calligraphy and painting shop near Maqian Street, and his life was quite prosperous.

Because he is from Luoyang and his family still has some industry in Luoyang, when Kaifeng Prefecture was "flooded", he took his wife and children and took a canal boat to Luoyang City.
