“There are three benefits.”

"First, wasteland can be repurposed so that no one can cultivate it."

"Secondly, at least half of the victims who were hoarded in Xishan Province can be arranged to get rid of the disaster victims, so that they can be assigned to some fields and return to normal life."

"Third, it can influence the rebels, let those rebels put down their weapons, pick up hoes, and stop making trouble. After all, the law does not punish the masses, and the court wants to punish those rebel generals who take the lead in rebellion, not these farmers."

"But there are many harms."

"First, since the founding of this dynasty, only a few decades ago, after the Crescent Pass, several cities on the frontier have almost become ghost towns. The court moved 300,000 people to live and distribute land. But that time is essentially different from this time, so it can be said that the land was re-divided due to disasters. This dynasty has no precedent. Once this precedent is set, it is still unknown how other provinces in the country will think. You must know that although the Xishan province is most affected, it does not mean that other provinces are less likely to be less."

"Second, how to divide the land again, who is more or less, and how much interest collusion is involved. Once the operation is not good, do bad things with good intentions, it will be easier to stir up civil unrest."

"Third and most important. Although the fields are abandoned, most of their old masters are rich and powerful people. Most of them have already fled their families before the disaster. If they come back, what should they do?"

After Li Chen finished speaking, he glanced at the thoughtful three people and said, "Let's discuss it."

Xu Changqing was the first to speak, and he bowed: "Your Highness, since the founding of this dynasty, only after Taizu established the country, the land was divided. According to the policy at that time, the land was divided by family heads, and male and female heads each had different shares."

"But at that time, the people naturally had to divide the fields from the court according to the rules, which was equivalent to the beginning of chaos. Everything was done according to the planning plan arranged by the court, and there was nothing wrong with it."

"Once the land distribution is implemented, for more than 360 years, except for private transactions and land annexation, the court has never intervened again. People in the world also acknowledged that the land was private property and the court cannot recover it without authorization. Although there is a law that no one inherits the land and is abandoned for more than ten years, it can be reclaimed by the government, but it does not meet the current situation."

"Mr. Zhao advocates dividing land in Xishan Province. He considers the situation in a corner of Xishan Province, but His Highness wants to look at the world. This precedent is my opinion that we should be cautious and not take the lead without any initiative."

Guan Zhiwei was in the Ministry of Works and did not know much about the matter on the fields, but he had a very wealthy family in the local area, and he was also a member of the landlord class. So he stood from his own perspective and said, "Your Highness, since many of the lands are still there, if the government recycles and distributes them to the people, the old master will definitely not agree."

"In addition, the landlords and the powerful and powerful people who see each other are cold and feel their lips and teeth. I am afraid that the voices of opposition will not be small, and even when they come to the court, there will be huge resistance."

"Everyone knows that once the precedent is set, the court will be able to do things according to the rules. No one wants their own fields to suddenly become more risky of being taken back to the country and then being distributed to ordinary people."

"So, I think this matter is inappropriate and it will easily arouse opposition from all the ministers."
