Chapter 288: The Code of Great Chu (Part 2)
In this "Da Chu Code", the first two points that Luo Yongsheng clearly emphasized are the core of the entire code.
That is to clearly tell all the officials of the Great Chu that there will be no situation where the Great Chu will not be punished, and it is even more impossible to share the world with the scholars and officials like Zhao Song.
But if it is said to be important, it may not be so.
If the followers and successors fall into depravity in the future, then this so-called "Da Chu Code" is just a waste book composed of hundreds of butt-wiping papers, hanging high in the pavilion.
Of course, that is the future. Luo Yongsheng is now thinking about how to improve the entire "Da Chu Code" as soon as possible.
As for whether anyone will follow this code in the future, it is the matter of successors, not what the creator, as he, needs to consider.
What he had to do was to ensure the depth of implementation of this "Code" before his death, so that successors could realize the importance of the law, thus creating a basis and consciously supervising and abide by this "Da Chu Code".
After emphasizing the first two points, Luo Yongsheng opened the first memorial and began to read out the actual content and articles of the "Da Chu Code".
There are many articles. If you write them one by one, it may be more than 100,000 words, so Luo Yongsheng did not recite them all, but just picked a few extremely important points to talk about them all.
"About land and important national resources such as salt, iron, gold, and silver, it must be clearly defined as the state. After the implementation of this Law, all land deeds in the world will be abolished. The land owner takes the land deeds to the local government office and replaces them with a land use certificate. That is, the land of the country is free to be borrowed from the people to cultivate, and all outputs will also belong to the people. The court exempts land tax! Only 20 taxes and one rent is required."
The moment Luo Yongsheng said this, all officials were almost infuriated.
Land nationalization!
This is very similar to the Wang Tian system created by Wang Mang back then.
It is this system that directly caused thieves to rise all over the world.
The gentry, family, landlords, and powerful people all rose up and launched troops to attack Wang Mang.
Now, Luo Yongsheng, who has not long unified the country, has also taken this step.
However, most of the energy of the gentry clans and local powerful landlords had been consumed. The Tokyo gentry was slaughtered by Kou, and the eight major ethnic groups in Fujian and Guangdong had surrendered. As for the four Shandong masters, they had already tactfully removed their titles and divided their families and lands when Zhou Bai led his army to recapture Shandong.
No one in the world can stop Luo Yongsheng from promoting land nationalization.
The people will not stop them, because this law is simply too good to the people.
Free of land tax!
People rent land to cultivate as renters, and the rent is 20 tax per day, which means that one day when people have a certain family property, they want to engage in other work and return the land to the country, and even save the rent.
From then on, there will be no taxes and no taxes!
Seeing the conversation in the auditorium, Luo Yongsheng frowned slightly and knocked on the table, and it was silent in an instant.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak.
"After the implementation of this Law, anyone will lose the qualification to buy and sell land, and the land will only belong to the state. As for those who own a large amount of land before the implementation of this Law, they will still be allowed to rent and use it after the amendment of this Law, but the rent will be levied in different proportions according to the specific number of land.
If a household owns more than 100 acres of land, the rent will increase to 10%, if it is more than 200 acres, it will be 20%. And so on, if a household owns more than 100 acres of land, all output will belong to the country!”
Anti-land annexation and prevent land annexation!
Everyone was shocked and instantly understood that there would be no landlords in the future in the Great Chu.
This is forcing traditional wealthy families to force the separation.
Which family of wealthy families is not dozens or even hundreds of people.
With our branches, there are even more.
Sand gathers into a tower, let alone people.
One by one, one family is led by the clan leader. If a few officials who have studied and become officials come from the family, resources will support each other and make progress together. Over time, they will become famous families and wealthy families.
Now that the family is divided, there is no branch of the main family, each household is a natural independent self-employed person. Even if one has a promising career, it is impossible to provide too much help to other relatives.
The clan's density will decrease, and the depth of family affection will fade. Perhaps in a hundred years, the feelings between cousins may not be as good as friends and neighbors.
This is to demolish the rich family into civilians!
That's what Luo Yongsheng planned. He must let China move from a wealthy society to a civilian society. This is the best way to ensure long-term stability of the country. As for resistance and obstacles.
It will definitely be very big, but Luo Yongsheng is not afraid.
"After the implementation of this Law, all provinces must complete this work within three years. Anyone who hinders the implementation of this Law and refuses to accept this Law will be killed without mercy!"
In order to make this country go on the right track as soon as possible, Luo Yongsheng did not hesitate to kill people, even if he killed many people!
This is the benefit of a dictatorship.
Any policy can be implemented strongly.
"In addition to land, other state-owned resources stipulated in this Law shall be transferred to the Resource Management Department of the Ministry of Revenue for a joint observation, and the privately operated salt yards, salt grates, iron yards, silver yards and copper yards must be recovered. The Ministry of Revenue shall coordinate and cooperate with each province as soon as possible to open official specialty businesses and conduct salt, grain, and iron monopoly. The selling price shall be fine-tuned according to the actual situation of each province, but the adjustment range and specific amount must be determined by the Price Department of the Ministry of Revenue and the local price department."
Since nationalization of resources is to be implemented, in order to achieve national economic macro-control, guiding price policies will inevitably be introduced.
Luo Yongsheng has now made up his mind that if he wants to raise and hold the banner of Zhou Li, and if he wants to achieve national harmony and a well-off society, he must realize the core of Zhou Li. Da Chu must implement and implement institutional autocracy to the end!
At the same time, it is also an institutional autocracy under the rule of the king!
Use institutional autonomy to ensure the strength of the country, bring all powers in this country to the central government, and indirectly strengthen the personal power of his king.
Then, with the absolute power of the king, the depth of implementation of institutional autonomy is guaranteed, and the foundation for consolidating institutional autonomy is laid.
From then on, the king is the country, and the country is the king!
If one of the two makes mistakes, the other will be implicated.
Correspondingly, once a problem arises in the country and several core laws of institutional autonomy are destroyed, the power of the king will inevitably be reduced and weakened.
As long as the successor king is not a fool and can understand this, he will not dare to indulge himself too willfully. He will always find some thoughts to care about the effectiveness of these core policies.
As the founding king and the founder of the Luo family dynasty, Luo Yongsheng has already thought about all the things that should be considered for future generations.
