Land belongs to the country? Yes, is it the kingly land in the world? But who is actually in the hands of the land? It is naturally in the hands of those local families! In layman's terms, this group of people is the landlords. Otherwise, how could they not have to worry about livelihood issues and study peacefully. So in this era, reading is usually something that rich people can read. By the way, Guo Jia himself is obviously a member of the landlord class. Although his family has fallen, he has never faced the livelihood issue of not having enough food. Even Xi Zhicai's so-called poor scholar is actually a small landlord.

During this period, Guo Jia took advantage of his position to study the tax issues in today's world. Farmers are not called taxation because they work for aristocratic families, while local governments draw taxes from these aristocratic families.

Generally speaking, it will eventually be divided into 244. The farmers who farmed only receive 20% of the land, and the families and local governments each receive 40% of the land. However, due to the years of war, some local governments will get a little more. Since local governments extracted food from the families, some unscrupulous families will transfer this part to the lower-class farmers. As a result, some farmers can only receive 10% of the land. Under normal circumstances, they will be hungry and full. If they encounter droughts, floods, and locust plagues, they will definitely be in trouble! It is good to be forced into the Yellow Turban Army, which is better than Yi Zi's ecstasy.

Of course, there are also some relatively exceptional places. For example, Jingzhou under Liu Biao's jurisdiction, the tax revenue is slightly gentler. In addition, there is Xuzhou under Tao Qian, because of the wealth. Even if the tax ratio is slightly smaller, the overall food received is much more than other places. Naturally, there is also Yizhou, a country of Tianfu. Unlike the Central Plains, there are almost no wars there. In addition, these princes nowadays will not hand over the money to the court, so these places, regardless of the upper and lower levels, live a comfortable life.

On the other hand, Chang'an, where Emperor Xian is located, was not a place for grain production, and now there is no offering in various places. It has made people's lives miserable, and even the emperor can't eat anything good.

So the problem should be very obvious now. The so-called four or six points of Cao Cao's farming farming is to exclude the aristocratic families! From the common perspective in today's world, Cao Cao joined forces with the farmers to steal the jobs of the aristocratic families, and divided the 40% of the income that should belong to the aristocratic families into two. Each of them had 20% equally!

The lower-class peasants happily got 40% of them, no longer worried about making a living or starving to death; Cao Cao also happily got 60% of them, which can be said to have received more than any other princes, and no longer have to worry about raising their troops. As a result, the gentry suffered, and Cao Cao did not leave any of them.

Perhaps Cao Cao knew very well. If he left 10% or 20% for the gentry, they would also be full of complaints, and it was not easy to operate. Can you guarantee that these gentry would not steal the farmers' food? So Cao Cao might as well just order and collect the land directly. This way he can be justified!

Of course, Cao Cao could not do anything. He just organized the "ownered" vacant land into "ownerless" vacant land. Those lands where people are still farming should do whatever they want. It seems that Cao Cao did not affect the income of the gentry, because he just resettled and utilized the foreign population.

But in fact? The land is clearly the fixed assets of these aristocratic families, but it has not been rented out for the time being. Cao Cao was confiscated like this? And not only these geniuses who were directly affected, but those geniuses who had no land confiscated by Cao Cao, their original farmers might have been tempted to go to Cao Cao to help Cao Cao farm.

Cao Cao's immoral "vicious competition" must have affected the entire Yanzhou and even the nearby aristocratic families! Simply put, Cao Cao, an outsider, instantly became the largest landlord in Yanzhou. Not only was the land stolen from others, but he also did not have to pay taxes!

Thinking of this, Guo Jia finally understood why, in history, Chen Gong turned against him, almost all of Yanzhou except Cao Cao's direct descendants opposed Cao Cao. Is Cao Cao's control insufficient and secretly seized power by Chen Gong? Or is Cao Cao's poor governance and lost the support of the people, which led to everyone's rebellion?

Obviously not! If Cao Cao had no control and had no governance capabilities, would he have achieved hegemony?! Cao Cao directly affected the interests of these aristocratic families, which led to "betrayal of relatives".

For some reason, just as soon as I sorted out my mind, the pale smile on Guo Jia's mind appeared in his mind. That guy, I guess he's going to be excited this time! I just don't know if Xi Zhicai has that kind of jumping thinking, and can think in detail about the possibility of recruiting the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, which is considered impossible by the world.

But even Xi Zhicai didn't expect that, Guo Jia would take the initiative to raise this kind of thing. So, that smiling face can't be removed!

......

This day was Cao Zhi's full moon wine. Although Cao Cao was not here, time would not change because of this. The full moon was there, and that was the full moon, and the Cao family still had to treat guests to drink.

Of course, in Guo Jia's eyes, it's so idle. Think about modern times, not only traditional Eastern festivals, but also many Western festivals. Isn't it just to find a reason to play and get together? Just like for young men and women, every festival is Valentine's Day.

Some relatives and friends on both sides of Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian, as well as some left-behind ministers such as Guo Jia, were naturally invited. The person in charge was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang.

However, although he was invited, Cao Cao was not here this time, so Cao Zhi's full moon wine was completely an internal banquet for the Cao family. Therefore, Chen Gong and others all refused to give up on their busy political affairs and sent someone to give them a gift to congratulate them. Only Guo Jia came without any worries. It was not that he was used to free meals, but that Guo Jia was really bored. Of course, the more important thing is that he was full of gossip.

This is the full moon wine of the talented Cao Zhi! Could Guo Jia be absent in this occasion? And there are Cao Pi, Cao Ang and others here! Besides, Guo Jia is not entirely an outsider. Why is he half of the Cao family now? His fiancée is all here. It is reasonable to attend an internal banquet of the Cao family!

"Oh, isn't this Lord Guo?! Why are you here in person...Ahem, Lord Guo is here~~" The guard of the Cao Mansion obviously didn't expect that Guo Jia was so thick-skinned and really came. He almost said, "Isn't it just a gift? Why do you have to go there in person?"

Guo Jia nodded seriously and asked,

"Have Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai arrived?"
