Valley Emperor

During the Unification War, the Tang Dynasty confiscated a large number of former Ming clans and powerful families.

The large amount of land obtained in this kind of inspection, the official land controlled by the yamen of the former Ming government has naturally become the official land of the Tang Dynasty. part.

As for the land of the imperial clan and the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, after being confiscated, they turned into imperial fields, and the amount of this part of the land was extremely large. The former Ming vassals and dignitaries owned too much land. According to statistics, these imperial fields already occupy 10% of the total cultivated land in the country.

It doesn't matter if it's only tens of thousands of acres, or even hundreds of thousands of acres, but this is not how many acres can be used to calculate, but 10% of the country's total arable land!

As a clan's private property?

Just kidding, only a nonsense dynasty like the Ming Dynasty can do such a thing.

Therefore, Li Xuan at that time took out most of these imperial fields and used them with Guantian as the land purchased by rent, basically in the same way as Guantian.

There are only a very small number of land that is more convenient, or is not suitable for renting and purchasing land as the private property of the royal family. Although the number of the remaining royal fields is still huge, compared with the previous one, it is naturally the ratio of the sea to the water droplets. , is completely incomparable.

Huangtian and Guantian were merged together, and then acted as renting instead of purchasing land. Over the years, most of the land has been gradually converted into the private property of farmers, and the remaining ones can generally be completed within ten years. .

Because of the rent-to-buy order, farmers can freely choose five, ten or fifteen years for their installment payments.

According to the latest batch of land, if farmers adopt the method of renting and purchasing for 15 years, then the repayment will end at the latest in the thirty-sixth year of Xuanping, and the farmers will officially obtain the ownership of these lands.

This also means that by the thirty-sixth year of Xuanping, in fact, a large amount of arable land under the control of both the royal family and the official government, except for newly reclaimed official land in a very small number of areas and a very small number of royal fields reserved by the royal family, other All will become farmers' private land.

Of course, the above only refers to domestic cultivated land, not including domestic wasteland and forest land. The government and the royal family still own a large number of them, and the proportion is extremely large, because most places in modern times are actually mostly desolate and uninhabited, and these seem to be desolate and uninhabited. The place is the official land.

Without exception!

At the same time, overseas mainland and overseas territories are not within this scope, and the policies in these places are relatively special.

The rent-to-buy order is limited to the mainland of the empire!

And there is no need to worry that these lands will be merged by the landlords on a large scale in the future, because all the land obtained by renting and purchasing can only be inherited and cannot be directly traded.

As for other private land, the government has no control over their business, but for Guantian and Huangtian, it is naturally the government that has the final say.

That is, private sales are not allowed. If you accept it, you can rent it instead of buying it. You don't accept it. Get out.

Even so, not everyone can apply for rent-to-buy. Only farmers who have no land and very little land can apply, and they can be approved after passing special examinations by multiple departments. Strictly, let people who have land get the land purchased by rent, because one of the auditing agencies is the tax department.

Even if the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Households, or simply those local yamen, can't figure out how much land they control and who is in their hands, the Tax Department will definitely know.

People are studying how much money and property the people have all day long, and how to collect more taxes in order to avoid a large-scale rebound.

You must know that the national arable land measurement completed in Xuanping 20 years ago was not done by the Ministry of Agriculture or the Ministry of Households, but by the Ministry of Taxation!

The taxation department measures land for better tax collection!

Therefore, you already have land, and then you want to obtain official land by renting and purchasing, that is not hidden from the eyes of the Ministry of Taxation.

If you do not register the land on the surface, but hide the land, then the tax department will not be polite, because it is tax evasion and tax evasion, and you will come to your door to arrest people in minutes.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, tax evasion and evasion have been a serious crime!

The unification is that the tax inspection team under the Ministry of Taxation is very famous. I don't know how many gentry's homes have been stolen and how many people have been killed!

It can be said that the tax department is better than the patrol department in terms of maintaining local law and order, cracking down on vile squires, and arresting the most heinous criminals. Many patrol police departments are criminals in helpless positions, and in the end, they are all accused by the tax department in the name of tax evasion and tax evasion. Arrested and sent to jail.

Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, you have done a lot of illegal and criminal things, as long as you cover up well, you can avoid it, but you want to evade tax?

dream!

So far, the Ministry of Taxation is still the agency directly under the Cabinet with the largest number of employees at all levels and the largest annual expenditure in Datang. Although its directly under the armed tax inspection team has been reformed, it has been replaced by the tax police directly under each tax bureau.

However, the tax police all over the country, including in the tax inspection teams of various overseas territories, are aggregated, and they are still allowed to equip guns and artillery, grenades and even small-tonnage warships, so both in terms of personnel and equipment levels, They are still the third largest armed force of the Tang Empire.

Originally, they were only the fourth largest armed force in the empire, but now the company fleet has been reformed and it has been directly merged into the army and navy, which has become history. Therefore, the tax police from all over the tax department are naturally honored to become the empire's No. 1. Three armed forces.

As for the patrolmen, they are only numerous, and they are only equipped with light weapons, but they definitely do not have such weapons as field guns and warships.

The tax police of the tax department of the family, when assembled, can bombard the fortress and play queuing to shoot the city and pull the village!

The two are incomparable!

The powerful control of the Ministry of Taxation ensured the smooth implementation of the rent-to-buy order, and then turned a large number of landless and small-land peasants in the empire into self-cultivation farmers.

As for the royal family and the government, they did not say that they were taken advantage of!

It seems that on the surface, the official and the royal family directly gave up more than 30% of the arable land in the empire!

but!

As a ruling institution, why do you need so much land? Rent?

Don't lose face!

Rather than collecting rent, the empire cared more about making the vast majority of its peasants peasants rather than tenants.

Those who have perseverance have perseverance, and those who do not have perseverance have no perseverance.

Farmers have land and a foundation to settle down. Naturally, they won't mess around. If farmers don't have land, they will naturally be less secure.

This is the truth that our ancestors knew. Later generations don’t know it’s impossible. Of course, after knowing it, whether to do it or not, and how to do it, is another matter.

As for Li Xuan, he also knew the truth and did it.

The specific measures are very simple, and that is to strive to turn the peasants of the empire into self-cultivators, not tenants.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the proportion of farmers and tenants nationwide was quite large. Although there is no way to calculate the specific proportion of the empire, according to the agricultural tax data collected by the Ministry of Taxation, in the eighth year of Xuanping, nationwide There are more than 900 people who bear the agricultural tax, but less than 10 million.

Of course, these nine million people can also be simply considered to be more than nine million families.

There is also no accurate figure for the population of the Datang Empire at that time, but it is roughly estimated that there are 150 million people. If a standard small family of five people is used, it is about 30 million families.

Among the more than 30 million households, only more than 9 million have paid the agricultural tax, which means that only over 30 percent of the households pay the agricultural tax.

And with the strength of the tax department, it is almost impossible for people with land in Dabiri to not pay the agricultural tax.

In other words, there were more than 20 million households nationwide that did not pay agricultural taxes.

Not because they evade taxes, but because they don't even have land!

And even among the more than 30 percent of the population who pay the agricultural tax, there is another characteristic, that is, 10 percent of the population bears 80 percent of the agricultural tax.

Then a very small number of one percent of the population bears 30 percent of the agricultural tax.

This series of data shows the unity of the empire, and the land annexation is extremely serious!

However, in the 27th year of Xuanping, the proportion of pure self-cultivation farmers in the whole country has reached 50%. The land can survive.

50% of this part includes people who are still renting government land during the period of renting instead of purchasing. Because the land rent of government land is actually equivalent to the agricultural tax, the tenants who rent government land can be considered as Pay agricultural tax.

Except for 50 percent of the self-cultivators, the rest are semi-owners, that is, people who own a small amount of land, but do not have enough to eat, and need to rent land from landlords.

However, no peasant family does not even own any land, because the government's rent-to-buy order is given priority to landless peasants. Even if the local government land is not enough, it will be distributed in a relatively even way. .

Therefore, although half of the peasants still need to live on the land of the rented landlords, they own the same land, but the amount of land is not large enough to support their living.

Li Xuan didn't dare to say that the people of the whole country had enough to eat by using rent instead of purchase orders, but he can proudly say that he has allowed every peasant family in the country to own land~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if the land is very small, But there is anyway!

Looking through history, for five thousand years, Li Xuan can proudly say that no dynasty or emperor has ever been able to do this, only he has done it.

Of course, this kind of thing is good to blow, and it cannot be taken seriously. For example, in some areas, the number of Guantian and Huangtian is limited but the local population is large.

In the end, in order to ensure that everyone can be allocated land, the land allocated to each person is very small, and in extreme places, the land that can be allocated by a family of five may only be one or two points of land.

In terms of contemporary grain yield per mu, its output is extremely limited, and in order to support their families, they also have to rent land from a large number of private landlords.

But this is not important, the important thing is that Xuancheng can be declared in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, and every farmer in the empire can cultivate his own land!
