Chen Xiang entered the bedroom prepared for himself. Although it was very simple, it was still cleaned very clean. Chen Xiang put down the package, looked around and took out his rope and several small bells tied on it, and then tied the rope to every corner of the room. Finally, when there was a rope in his hand, he took a deep breath, and then stepped onto the beam of the house, and then hung the last one near the roof. Chen Xiang hung the bell and jumped down, and finally arranged his sleeping house. After Chen Xiang had all the defense measures, he began to tidy up his bed. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. The beds, quilts and jackets of others were washed and changed frequently. From this, it can be seen that this family is indeed a big family. The old man said just now that there were many long-term workers in the family. From this point, it can be seen that the old man is also a landlord's family.

Long-term workers, also known as "long-term", generally refer to various workers with a long and relatively fixed employment period. Long-term workers are workers who have signed long-term contractual relationships with landlords, and short-term workers have their own families and go home regularly. They have a tenancy relationship with landlords. In agricultural society, people share land from the government, and when they cannot guarantee their own farming income, they will sell the land, and the people who buy land will transform the land into landlords. The farmers who sell the land will re-sell the land.

Leased back from the landlord and became tenants (disguised long-term workers). In this way, farmers only need to hand over part of their farming income to the landlord, so that they can avoid heavy agricultural taxes from the state government. Those who do not share the land will work in the landlord's home and become long-term workers and short-term workers without personal freedom. Historically, after the state allocates land, the landlord cannot effectively avoid land annexation. Landlords constantly annexed land needs farmers to farm for them, and farmers who lose land will naturally become long-term workers and short-term workers.

In fact, this is a typical act of destroying the state's finances in some ways. In many cases, the national finances are in a critical moment because of major problems in taxation. The reason for these is that we have always said that land is too concentrated, and the landlord groups form groups to resist the mandatory tax collection behavior of the state regime, which eventually triggers war. In the country, a large number of landlord groups were eliminated by peasant uprisings. At this time, the ownership of many land was vacant. At this time, in order to stabilize the regime, the state distributed the land equally to ordinary people, and then made these farmers become tenants of the state, pay taxes to the state, and then the state uses this to restore order to carry out some normal production and operation activities. However, as time goes by and the impact of various natural disasters,

Rich peasants who are lucky enough to accumulate more wealth will lend to those farmers who are either lazy or natural disasters, and the loan will definitely be mortgaged. Usually farmers have no other fixed property, so they can only mortgage their own land to these rich peasants. In the end, they will pay off their debts. However, most people fail to pay the loan and can only give their land to the rich peasants. The rich peasants can merge land through formal channels, and their property is still increasing. This is a snowball process, constantly getting bigger and bigger. In the end, the farmers who have lost their land still have to survive and can only work for these rich peasants, sign personal labor contracts, and become long-term workers or short-term workers. These rich peasants who own the land have become landlords and join the ruling class of the feudal era.

In the Han Dynasty, the land system was to establish private land ownership → pay rent and taxes according to the acres (small), and pay taxes and labor (heavy), and basically was mainly taxpayers and strict personal control. During the Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an unsuccessful Wang Mang reorganization. He imitated the ancient well-field system and renamed the land of the country "Wang Tian" and was not allowed to be traded. Not only did it not solve the social land problem, but it confined farmers in the "Wang Tian" as cattle and horses, which further intensified various contradictions. So in the end, the Xin Dynasty was quickly overthrown by farmers and landlords, without a good result, due to Wang Mang's various reforms and our later public ownership

There are many similarities in the system, so many people speculate that Wang Mang is what we call a time traveler, just like Chen Yi now. Although this theory cannot be verified, we can also draw some experience and lessons, that is, on the basis of no suitable economic foundation, it is definitely a behavior that can boost growth of human society. It may also lead to a regression in society in the end. Therefore, we must be very cautious in reforming, and we must also start from the ground and seek truth from facts based on the actual situation in various places.

After Chen Xiang packed up, he lay on the bed and his head began to get drowsy. He tied the rope with the bell to his wrist and tied it. Then he turned over and fell asleep. He was already the sleep we borrowed around 10 o'clock now, and it was eleven o'clock after the tossing was over, so it was already the second half of the night. Just as this compound regained its quiet moment, a few suddenly came from a distance.

The torch appeared in the lonely dark night, and the sound of horse hooves followed. If anyone who knows how to learn it carefully, you can tell that there were more than thirty horses. More than a dozen horses were running towards this quiet manor with torches. In another luxuriously decorated room, the old man who opened the door just now put the copper crutch on his knees, and next to him were twenty young and middle-aged men in leather armor.

Zi, everyone was sitting cross-legged, with a Han sword on his knees, and everyone was resting. At this moment, a young man, wearing iron armor, with a horse spear in his hand, walked in with a horse spear in his hand. After seeing the old man, he put the horse spear and said, "Grandpa, those bandits are here." The old man had a breath of turbid air in his mouth and nose, and slowly opened his eyes: "Sun son, tell everyone to line up and prepare for the fight

.” After the young man answered No, he picked up his horse spear, raised his left hand and waved his left hand, "Everyone come with me and get on the horse to meet the enemy!" Everyone shouted No, everyone picked up their own swords and rushed out with the young man. The old man was still sitting upright in his seat alone, and after everyone withdrew, he slowly got up alone and walked back with a cane. When he was walking at the end, the old man came to a boudoir.

The old man stretched his crutch forward and knocked on the door three times. An old woman opened the door and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the old man: "Master, how are you?" The old man stroked his beard: "The robbers are here, Fang'er has taken people in line. I don't know if it will succeed. I'll take a look at Xue'er. No matter what, a mere robber actually wants to use my granddaughter as the wife of the village. Even if the government doesn't care, I, Zhang Jin, won't agree to this old bone!" The old lady also nodded and let Mr. Zhang enter the house.

If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown.
