The famous biologist Ah Er once said that a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.

Mr. Feng Yu, a well-known scholar and warrior, once said that when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

Anyway, this is what it means - when the public opinion position in the hands of the rotten Confucians, rural sages, and gentry was captured by Zhao Huan with the powerful weapon of newspapers, these rotten Confucians, rural sages, and gentry lost their ability to fight against Zhao Huan.

qualifications.

In particular, the three policies of the invisible four-level administrative restructuring, the expansion of social sciences, and the reform of the imperial examination system were the prelude to the burial of the feudal dual monarchy that had begun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Jin Shang said at the court meeting on the third day of April that if the purchase is very expensive, it will harm the people; if it is very low, it will harm the farmers. If the people are harmed, they will be separated, and if the farmers are harmed, the country will be poor. In order to protect the people's survival interests in the famine years, the imperial court decided

Dali built the permanent warehouse and the reserve warehouse. The permanent warehouse is to protect grain prices, and the reserve warehouse is to prepare for disaster years."

"I express this statement: Changping warehouses and reserve warehouses must be spread to the townships. Each township should have at least one Changping warehouse and one reserve warehouse. The warehouses will be full after the autumn and winter of the fifth year of Jingkang at the latest. For this reason, today's General

Ten million guan will be allocated from internal funds to purchase grain."

"Jin Shang said: From now on, various places in the Song Dynasty should frequently inspect the Changping Granary to ensure that the food in the Changping Granary is sufficient. If any place dares to empty it, the officials will be in charge."

"I would like to express my opinion today: Jiaozhi has been away from the Central Plains for a long time, and now it has become the land of the Song Dynasty. The land can be harvested twice or three times a year. It will be the new granary of the Song Dynasty in the future. The people of the Song Dynasty can go to reclaim wasteland. I will start from within.

The necessary money is allocated from the money to buy cattle, seeds and furniture, and they are given to the people free of charge. If a family goes there, each family can get one hundred guan to settle down and a yard."

"Today I express..."

Old Tongsheng read the news in the newspaper one by one, took the reward from a man dressed as a butler next to him, and then left the private room. But the person sitting in the private room couldn't bear it anymore, "Bang!

"There was a thump on the table, making all the cups and dishes on the table jump.

Except for the one who was beating the table to vent his anger, the faces of the others in the private room were not very good either.

The old man sitting on the main seat waved his hand and asked the maid waiting next to him to go out before he said in a deep voice: "You all know what's going on, right?"

The few gentry-looking old men in the room all nodded, and one of them even snorted coldly: "What a great move to remove the firepower, and what a great move to make!"

"First the land was measured, then the people were relocated, and then there was talk of moving the capital to Shuntian Prefecture. Now there is another Jiaozhi. Hey, I am really here for the land system."

"I have reduced the rent to 40%, but now no one is willing to rent, so should I be allowed to farm by myself?"

After the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere in the private room became even more silent, and everyone present felt a sense of sadness.

Everyone present has a minimum of several hundred or even a thousand acres of land, and those with more have literally thousands of hectares of fertile land.

No one cultivates it.

When did this strange situation of land and no human beings begin to appear?

The people present thought hard and found that this strange situation started after the current officials personally conquered Taiyuan and recovered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

No one expected that the Jin soldiers who could surround Bianjing would be so vulnerable. What was even more unexpected was that the Qifan slaves in the Xijin Mansion actually surrendered without a fight, and even took the initiative to kill all the Jin soldiers in the city.

People. Then came Fengsheng Prefecture, Xijing Prefecture, and then Xixia... Jiaozhi...

How do any fools know? What the officials mentioned in the newspapers was about reclamation? In fact, it was basically the officials leading their troops to slaughter Xixia and Jiaozhi, and then letting these mud-legged people take over the cultivation——

Who has ever seen a wasteland where the seeds are so well sprinkled? The Xixia slaves and Cochin monkeys just sprinkled the seeds!

Therefore, even if Zhao Huan never proposed any land equalization system, the situation among the people in the Song Dynasty that "the rich have fields and the poor have no place to stand" has become easily solved.

And what’s even more unexpected is that the government actually has to use money to buy cattle, seeds, and farm tools, and then gives it to those poor people!

Buy seeds, cattle, farm tools, and settlement expenses for the mud-legged people? There are also the benefits of three years of tax exemption and five years of halving taxes? The court is vigorously regulating rivers and building roads? Even though those mud-legged people are not willing to move to Xixia and Jiaozhi,

But there are also Hebei, Shandong, Jianghuai... There are too many places in the entire Song Dynasty for these mud-legged people to migrate!

This kind of thing is like eating crabs. As long as the first one tastes the sweetness, the second and third ones will appear soon after.

Then fewer and fewer people are willing to rent land.

Lower rent?

No matter how you lower the rent, then there is still rent? Besides? Even if you don’t collect rent? Then the land is still rented? What does it have to do with me?

Although moving to another place to open up wasteland is considered to be leaving one's hometown, but from now on you don't have to pay rent, and the land becomes your own? Only a fool continues to rent!

Then, these lands are quite worthless to the gentry here -

The land that we had spent a lot of effort to obtain through fraud and abduction is now facing a situation where no one is renting it. We are reluctant to throw it away, and no one is cultivating it. No one is cultivating this land, which means that no value can be created at all.

.

It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

And when everyone realized something was wrong and wanted to solve this fucked up situation, they found that the whole situation had completely lost control.

The nobles and generals unknowingly lost control of the army, and the so-called "powerful" locals also lost control of the Xiang army. The "ban'er" and "Qiu Ba" who were usually looked down upon became hanging in the air.

A knife above everyone's head.

Now, even the great weapon of public opinion has fallen into the hands of officials.

As for new policies such as the "Chang Ping Cang" and "Preparatory Cang" proposed by Zhao Huan, these rural sages and gentry sitting here are sitting on pins and needles——

If it is true that as Zhao Huan demands, regular warehouses and reserve warehouses should be vigorously opened in every township, the situation of expensive grain hurting farmers and cheap grain hurting farmers in the past will be greatly improved or even gone forever.

At that time, the only ones who will be injured will be the sages and gentry present - if they can’t make money, then it will be a loss!

However, all of this is an outright conspiracy, and it uses overwhelming power to suppress people without any concealment, leaving no room for resistance at all!

The old man sitting in the main seat saw that the atmosphere in the private room was extremely dull, and suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, why are you so pessimistic?"
