In the Qingcheng Academy, in the small courtyard where He Li lives, there were comments from time to time. Seven or eight scholars in Confucian uniforms sat in the room. One of them was Zhang Jun, who was leading the incident of writing to the book on the fourth day of the fifth month. He was sitting on a chair in the middle, obviously a central figure. A white-faced scholar with a national face was sitting next to him, about thirty years old, with a demeanor. He sat there and knew that he was a character. This person was the leader of the Imperial Academy, Chen Dong and Chen Shaoyang, who was as famous as Zhang Jun.

Although the light in the house was dim, the atmosphere was very warm. Everyone was talking about the four countries' attack on gold, "The Commentary on Begging for Announcement and Joining the Land" and the "Abandonment of Imperial Examinations and Promoting Schools" that have recently become popular in Kaifeng Prefecture.

He Li looked a little tired, her eyes were red, and she was looking at a "Shilin New News" word by word. This was a newspaper supported by the new party. Just seven days ago, this newspaper published an article signed by "Kang Liang", proposing "abolition of the imperial examination and the development of the school", and also attributed the weakness of the Song Dynasty to the imperial examination and the acquisition of scholars. She also proposed a method of combining the acquisition of scholars in the school and the progress of military merits to replace the original imperial examination system.

As soon as the article was released, the capital was in an uproar. It was not a crowd of people who were beaten, because there were also a group of officials from school in Kaifeng Prefecture. Although they were not as noble as those from the imperial examinations, they also had certain strength.

The guns of the new army are all in the hands of these school officials!

In addition, Biyong Academy (Taishou) is the first of all schools! It is a great benefit for Tai students to pick up scholars in the school!

The few who gathered here at He Li today are all Tai students, so everyone is mainly discussing the issue of "abolition of imperial examinations and developing schools". He Li, who was the top scholar, was dedicated to both the two, reading newspapers and talking to Tai students.

"The proposal to abolish the imperial examinations to promote military merits may be desirable, but the matter is so large that we should not act blindly."

"The Zhou State did not always pick up scholars in the school, but also used examinations to obtain officials. The officials in the Zhou State divided into affairs and government affairs. The officials in affairs either went out of the school or obtained them through examinations. The officials who were first picked were all officials, and then gradually promoted with military merits, merits, and years of success..."

"If the imperial examinations are abolished and the land is not equal, how can the common people have a way out? Those who enter the school are either rich or noble, and there are very few wise men in the country! In the long run, the country will be controlled by wealthy families, and I am afraid that the mistakes of the Jin Dynasty will be repeated."

"Yes, there are too few schools now, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. The only way to promote a poor family is to be promoted is the imperial examination. How can we be abandoned easily?"

"If you want to abolish the imperial examination, you must first equalize the fields and then set up schools so that all poor families can enter the school..."

"The equalization of land in Zhou is not a good law, because a country's land is granted to more than 200,000 knights, the households of the government, and the rest of the people have no inch of land to rely on, or they may be engaged in the business and business industry or become customers. This is not a long-term peace method..."

"The method of long-term peace is to teach the land orally, and at the same time set up a military household to grant land. Ordinary civilians will grant land to a mu of land. Military households can give land to serve as soldiers, and civilians will grant land rent..."

"Where does the land for granting fields come from? This matter is easy, so you can use the method of inspecting land and searching fields. To summarize the hidden fields in the world, there should be no less than 10,200 mu. Half of the fields are dictated and half are granted to military households. According to the amount of 30 mu of land granted by each military household, more than 600,000 mu can be granted to more than 2 million military households, divided into four divisions, with 500,000 people in each division! Isn't it enough to pacify the Jin Yuzhou?"

He Li had indeed thought about it carefully and found a seemingly feasible method of equalizing the fields. He did not touch on the registered private fields at first, but dug out all the hidden fields from the people through the inspection and clearing of the fields.

All the hidden fields dug out are considered official property and are granted fields. Half of them are granted to farmers with no land and few fields. Half of them are awarded to military households for war. According to He Li's own estimate, a military household with 30 acres of land should be enough. Like the Zhou State, 100 acres of land is actually too thick, and there is no need to do it at all. Because according to He Li's observation, the farmland in Zhou State is all carried over grass fields, and it is usually only planted for one season.

Planting one season is due to insufficient labor. Crops must be planted and harvested in two seasons. Insufficient manpower will cause the farming season to be missed. Crops in one season will save more effort and can be harvested and sown slowly.

Therefore, the utilization rate of the 90 million mu of arable land in Zhou State is not high. The reason why it can produce good grain output is mainly because 60 million mu of these 90 million mu are black soil in Liaodong. The harvest of one mu of black soil is equal to a few mu of the Central Plains. Even if there are only 30 million mu of black soil a year, even if it is not so good, it is enough to produce hundreds of millions of stones of wheat.

For Zhou State, which has a population of less than 10 million, it is impossible to finish eating so much wheat, and it still has enough spare energy to export and build strategic reserves.

Therefore, among the more than 90 million acres of arable land in Zhou State, only 30 million acres of black soil are sown every year, which may not be that much. Most of the land outside Liaodong is planted with cash crops, which are also grass field rotations.

Half of the land that planted grasses, and the two grasslands belonging to the Dongliao region, can also provide tens of millions of large livestock and countless dairy products every year. They can provide enough protein and fat for the people of Zhou.

Therefore, He Li basically couldn't see anyone who couldn't eat enough on the land of Zhou State, even tenants and slaves could fill their stomachs.

The Song State must not waste land like this. The Song State has a population of 100 million. Excluding the land that planted non-grain crops, it would be good to have 450 million mu of grains for the production of grain. Moreover, floods and droughts have occurred one after another, and most of the land is not very fertile and cannot be compared with the black soil in Liaodong. If the crop rotation and planting only for one season are also adopted, many people will probably starve to death.

If you want to make full use of the land, it would be great to cultivate 30 acres of each household. The soldiers and knights in Zhou State farmed with horses and plowed the fields! How could the Song State have this condition? A horse's appetite is worth a few people. If it is not a grass field rotation, how could it be possible to feed the horses that pull the plowed?

So in He Li's view, a household with 30 acres of land can support a military soldier in the government.

With 60 million mu of land, 2 million military households can be raised. With 2 million military households, 500,000 troops can be supported.

In addition, with another 60 million mu of land, tens of millions of land without land can get a land of five or six mu per household, which can also make these poor people safe.

"Brother Wenzhen," Zhang Jun, who came from a famous family, was puzzled and asked He Li, "Just give land to military households, why should we benefit the poor households again?"

He Li said: "When I was in Tianjin Prefecture, I was often refugees in the Central Plains, either becoming customers or engaged in business. Recently, Wu Haogu wanted to visit Goryeo, but he was tempting poor households in the Central Plains to go to Goryeo to settle their homes. The conditions offered were to teach dictates, and one person was granted ten acres, and a family of five would be granted fifty acres of fertile land in the country. Moreover, the tax exemption for two years after the land was granted, and the Goryeo Farmers Bank would also provide low-interest loans... If our country does not care about the poor households, it is afraid that 100,000 people from the Central Plains would move to Goryeo within two years!"

There are about 8 million mu of arable land in Northern Goryeo. In addition, Yanbian Prefecture, ruled by Mazhi, also has more than 2 million mu of arable land. The two together have more than 10 million mu (Mazhi will hand over to Yanbian Prefecture after obtaining the territory of Nan Goryeo, and his army will also move to Nan Goryeo, so the land will be handed over). Wu Haogu plans to take out half of the land to grant new knights and soldiers, and the remaining half will be used to recruit immigrants in the Central Plains. It can almost lure 100,000 households and 500,000 people.

With these 500,000 immigrants, plus the soldiers, military households and peninsula residents who are also considered to be Han people, there will soon be more than 1 million Han people on the Goryeo Peninsula... This land is not difficult to digest.

After digesting Goryeo, the power of Zhou State became even stronger! Not only did the land increase by two or three thousand miles, but the population increased by millions. But the encirclement of the eastern part of the Song State was also formed from the sea!

He Li frowned deeply and said, "Now the people of the Central Plains are struggling to live in a difficult situation. They are leaving their hometowns and there are more and more refugees running around. If the court does not resettle them, even if there is no chaos, it will flow into the Zhou Kingdom. What Wu Haoqiu has obtained!"

The natural economy of the Central Plains is under the impact of the capitalist economy in the early stages of the Zhou State and the southeast coast, resulting in many bankrupt and dissatisfied refugees.

Moreover, the court now does not recruit refugees to join the army, so many refugees have no way to survive and are easily pulled over by the Zhou State.

After all, Zhou State has few people and many lands, and industry and commerce are also developed, so it is so easy to make a living.

So in recent years, at least tens of thousands of people in the Central Plains have flowed into the Zhou Kingdom every year!

Now Wu Haogu has set up a bait to teach fields, which is obviously trying to increase efforts to attract refugees in the Central Plains.

Chen Dong touched his beard and looked worried about the country and the people. "Brother Wenzhen said it is reasonable! In the past, the court could not suppress annexation because there were no two families in the world. But now the situation is different. The refugees in the world have indeed had a place to go for peace!"

Zhang Jun also said: "The more people the Zhou State receives, the stronger its national strength will be. The greater the threat to the court! Brother Wenzhen and Brother Shaoyang, we are all scholars, so we can't sit still and see the world fall into chaos!"

"Yes! Let's not be wrong to listen to God again!" The person who proposed to submit another memorial was a young eleven or nineteen-year-old student named Ouyang Che, a talented man from Jiangxi. He entered the Imperial Academy in the same year as Zhang Jun. He was also quite active in writing a letter and talking about things.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate," He Li shook his head, "This matter involves the inspection of the land and clearing the fields. Even among the four students, there are many criticisms."

"Brother Wenzhen said very much. It is not advisable to mobilize students to submit memorials for equalizing land." Another white-faced Confucian scholar in his twenties took over the topic, "We might as well set up a society to promote equalizing land."

"Brother Changyu's proposal is good, I'll discuss it next." Another Confucian scholar who was a little older and slightly hunched back took over the topic, "It's better to be called the Retro Society than the name of the Society."

The proposal seemed good! He Li looked at the man with a little eyes.
Chapter completed!
