The so-called "granting land" is also called Xingtian. As the name suggests, this is a land system in which the country grants the land it owns to farmers.

With the continuous development of productivity, farmers in various countries have the ability to cultivate more land, which has led to the gradual collapse of the well-field system that has been implemented since the Xia Dynasty.

Faced with the increasingly serious situation of "public land sluggish and private land becoming common", during the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period, countless overlords and wise ministers made reforms without exception in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

The wheel of time rolls forward on the road of history. The world has passed through the Spring and Autumn Period, when rituals and music were broken, and it has come to the more cruel Warring States Period.

In Wei, an emerging country that emerged from the Three Jin Dynasties, a reform that was more profound than the previous reforms was being carried out under the auspices of a hero and a famous minister.

This is the historically famous first reform in the Warring States Period, Li Kui's Reform.

It can be said that Li Kui's reform brought almost all-round changes to the Wei State, and the changes to the land system of the Wei State were naturally indispensable.

Facing the well-field system that had reached the end of its life, Li Kui, who possessed the great courage that almost all reformers possessed, did not cling to this rotten system.

Through clearly written laws, Li Kui completely abolished the long-implemented well field system, allowing this decadent system to be completely swept into the garbage heap of history in the Wei state.

Of course, the decay of one thing must mean the rise of another. This is an eternal law of the universe. While Li Kui was abolishing the well-field system, he was also thinking about a more advanced land system that was in line with the reality of Wei State.

system.

Finally, after combining the experience gained from various systems implemented by his ancestors and carefully examining the current situation of the Wei state at that time, Li Kui came up with his own idea of ​​conferring land to the people.

Li Kui advocated that if you want to fully utilize the strength of a country, you must measure the land owned by the country, estimate the output based on the barrenness of the land, and formulate a reasonable tax system.

Not only that, Li Kui also advocated granting land owned by the state to farmers. This would not only enhance farmers' enthusiasm, but also maximize the use of land owned by the state.

It should be noted that what is granted to farmers at this moment is only the right to use the land, and the real ownership of the land in the country is still in the hands of the most powerful monarch in Wei.

With the premise of empowering the people in the fields, coupled with a series of agricultural reforms such as the "Teaching of Using the Land's Efficiency" and the "Pingping Law", the Wei State was able to fully exert its national power and gradually gradually

Stand out from the princes of the world.

It can be said that Li Kui's reform transformed the Wei State, and it was also an important reference for subsequent reforms in various countries during the Warring States Period, including Qin's Shang Yang's Reform.

"call……"

After fully hearing what Gongsun Qi said, Wei Hou Wei Feng had a serious look on his face, and even let out a long sigh.

After taking a few breaths to calm down some of the agitation in his heart, Wei Feng sighed with admiration from deep in his heart, "I didn't know it clearly before, but after Xiangguo's analysis, I understand that Li Kui Xiangguo

He is truly a genius."

"What your Majesty said is true." After fully agreeing with Wei Feng's praise, Gongsun Qi continued after hearing a few cases: "The policies of Prime Minister Li Kui not only made our country Wei rich and powerful, but also made our country more powerful.

This is a good strategy to conquer the land of Qindong now."

"Although the land of Qindong has nominally implemented the new policy of renting crops for the first time, the decadent well-field system of the past still exists among the majority of farmers."

"Your Majesty, just imagine if we, the State of Wei, could abolish the well-field system and grant those lands to the farmers of Qindong, how could the farmers of Qindong who benefited not sincerely support our state of Wei?"

At this moment, Wei Feng, who was sitting on the throne, listened to the beautiful prospects described by Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi in his ears, and his face immediately showed a look of excitement.

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Feng stood up from his seat and looked closely at Gongsun Qi beside him.

"It's not just the farmers of Qindong. If our Wei State implements land grant in Qindong, the Qin people west of Jingshui River may enter Qindong just like they fled to Hexi. This will kill two birds with one stone."

Looking at Wei Feng who had stood up at this moment, and listening to the other party's excited words, Gongsun Qi nodded gently and calmly.

However, he understood that this was not the time to be so excited. It was time to cool down the excited Marquis Wei in front of him, so the next moment a basin of cold water was poured on Wei Feng's heart.

"What your Majesty said is true. The method of conferring land is indeed a win-win for our country, Wei, but..."

There was a pause between words, and his eyes slowly met those of Wei Feng in front of him, and Gongsun Qi's tone was somewhat serious.

"It's just that if you want to grant land, you must first measure the land in Qindong and count the population in Qindong. Only in this way can you know what you are doing and live within your means."

As soon as Gongsun Qi said this, there was no need to say anything more. Wei Feng's originally excited heart suddenly calmed down.

Measuring the land of Qindong and counting the population of Qindong are simple things to say, but the difficulty cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Even if the Wei State has taken over the land of Qin Dong for ten years, it is not so easy to accomplish these two things after sorting out the intricate relationships.

What's more, the current Wei State has just seized the land of Qindong from the Qin State, and all it can do is maintain a superficial rule.

The brows on his face were furrowed tightly, and while thoughts were swirling in his mind, Wei Feng slowly sat back on his throne.

He kept looking at Wei Feng above him, and after seeing his expression of contemplation for a long time, Gongsun Qi below slowly came to him from the seat.

"To report to Your Majesty, I believe that although completing the above two things is difficult, it is not impossible. The key is to see if Your Majesty has the determination."

After listening to Gongsun Qi's words, Wei Feng's frown gradually relaxed, and a firm look slowly appeared in his eyes.

Standing up slowly from the throne, Wei Feng walked step by step in front of Gongsun Qi, and then saw him making an extremely solemn salute to the front.

"Please sir, please teach me."

Facing Wei Hou Wei Feng, who was almost the same as when he first invited him to serve as an official, Gongsun Qi, who was standing where he was, nodded slowly.

"I think that if we want to accomplish the above two things, what our Wei State needs to do is what your Majesty is doing, which is to fully implement the county system in the land of Qindong."

“The implementation of the county system is like the foundation of a house, while measuring the land, counting the population, and even the final allocation of land are like the house to be built.”

"If the foundation is solid, then building a house will be faster and better; if the foundation is unstable, then not only will the construction speed of the house be very slow, but there will be endless disasters."

Facing the image of Gongsun Qi's explanation, Wei Feng's face immediately showed a look of understanding, and then this understanding turned into solemnity.

"The land east of Qin is related to the future strategy of our Wei State. I also ask the Prime Minister to help me lay a solid foundation for it."

"My lord, Sun Qi, will obey your orders."
