Li Mu has been thinking about the fields. For this reason, he has also read a lot of ancient books and has a comprehensive understanding of the recorded fields system.

The earliest field system in China was the "well-field system". The pioneer of the well-field system was Dayu, who controlled water in mythology.

In ancient times, the climate was humid and hot, with all rivers and rivers, large and small, and rivers, all flowing, stirring up the vast oceans on the mountain land. Emperor Shun ordered Dayu to take on the mission of controlling the flood, and assisted Yu with Dafei, the leader of the Qin tribe at that time. After thirteen years, Dayu lived up to expectations, and the flood was subdued. After the flood subsided, it hit a large area of ​​plain land, which was endless and flat.

Fighting for the plump land and water sources breeds struggles, and people fight and are in chaos. Faced with chaos, Dayu invented the well-field system.

The so-called "well fields" are divided into countless large squares of "well" shapes on a vast and flat plain. Each eight houses have a "well". The middle is a public field, which is cultivated by eight families and the harvest is handed over to the country. The only wells of the eight families are located in the center of the public field. People come to fetch water every morning and exchange the remaining items by the side of the well. Around the eight families' fields are irrigation canals and roads. Ten wells are one mile and ten miles are one society. This weight and measure is still used in the era thousands of years later.

People formed a non-aggressive neighbouring society in the flat fields. At that time, there was not much population, and the square well fields drawn from alluvial plains of alluviality were enough to live and cultivate.

However, with the development of population, the "well-field system" became no longer applicable. With the demise of the primitive society, it entered a feudal society. The monarchy occupied the peak, and land became an important resource and target for competition in the monarch. In order to obtain land, countries fought endlessly. In order to win the war, the monarchs of various vassal states launched the transformation of land private ownership, namely: rewarding military merits.

Later, the Qin Dynasty unified the world, and the situation changed again.

The land was used as a reward for military merits to win the war. Now that the war is over, Qin unified the world. All the land belongs to Qin, and the dispute over land has come to an end. For the monarch, land is not the most important resource, so what has become the most important resource?

The answer is population, because of the land, people are planted. Especially after Qin unified the world, it was discovered that many male people died due to war, resulting in countless fertile land not being cultivated. Then it realized that population is the most important productivity.

Since the Qin Dynasty, all of them have been strictly controlled by the population. They shared the pressure on land taxes on people and began to impose "capital taxes", from taxation to tax people. The advantage of this is that the control over the people is increased, but it also leads to disadvantages. People with land have more financial resources and power. They can rely on this part of the resources to gather refugees without land, and then form clans. However, refugees without land are difficult to stand up and become slaves in the formal sense. Therefore, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they shouted, "Is it better to be a king, prince, general, and minister?"

The demise of the Han Dynasty was also rooted in this. After the land was privately owned, the major clans had more control over the land than the state, resulting in the emptiness of the country, and the rise of powerful powers, entering a chaotic era. But the chaotic era also had an advantage. It broke the old barriers to a certain extent, allowing the people at the bottom to have a channel to rise.

After the fall of the Han Dynasty, China had almost never been unified for a long time. The Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, had gone through more than ten dynasties in more than 300 years. The country did not exceed a hundred years. Although the country during this period realized the disadvantages of private land ownership, the power of the monarch was greatly restrained by the family, so the reform of the field system had never been carried out. This was also the era when the aristocratic forces were the most dazzling, and it was also the era when the formation of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the era when the family members and seven hopes were formed. In a sense, the aristocratic families in this period had already possessed the ability to "destroy and establish". The fundamental reason was the land they had in their hands.

When the Sui Dynasty unified the world again, two things Emperor Wen of Sui immediately began to do were to reform the land system and suppress the clan forces. The method he came up with was to form a "trial-in-one" method that combined the policies of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The equal land system, the renting and mediocre system, and the government system.

First of all, the equal land system is the country. The land is owned by a man over 20 years old and has 100 mu of land, of which 20 mu are Yongye land and 80 mu are the land for the quintuary. The land is returned after death. This measure is to avoid concealing the population. If the people want to obtain the land, they must declare it, otherwise there will be no. This can ensure that the household registration system is improved. The state will collect rent and mediocre adjustments from the people based on the land grant record. Regardless of the rich and the poor, a fixed amount of rent and mediocre adjustments will be paid. In this way, the people will not be under great pressure. In addition, the improvement of the household registration system will also help the completion of the military and corvee service, so it is called the "Trinity".

Under the current circumstances, this is a very good method. However, its hidden dangers are quite great, because history has proved that this method has been implemented in the mid-Tang Dynasty and it has no effect. The reason is that the population growth exceeded the land stock, resulting in no land to be divided among the people, but still has to pay rents according to the head, which will inevitably breed conflicts.

Another fundamental reason is that in order to achieve the purpose of annexation of land, local clans and large families exploit ordinary people through various methods, either cleverly taking advantage of refugees, recruiting refugees to become naturalized, etc., resulting in a large amount of land that should have been ordinary people flowing into the hands of local wealthy families. The imperial court's efforts to control local areas were very small, and the equal-field system was destroyed.

The equal-field system was destroyed, and the trinity collapsed immediately. If the land was not divided, the people naturally were unwilling to declare the population, bear taxes, and conceal the report was repeatedly banned. The household registration system collapsed, and the government soldiers and corvee labor could not be completed. This is also the fundamental reason why in the late Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers system collapsed and the imperial court's control over the army failed, and entered the era of "Jingdushi". During this period, the Jiedushi had become a new warlord force. They controlled the land and could give the people a bite of food, so they naturally controlled the army.

At present, it was the early Tang Dynasty, and the population dropped by tens of millions due to the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The registered population was only more than three million households and more than 12 million. This population was enough for the current land stock of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court did not care much about the annexation of land, and from the perspective of maximizing interests, it was beneficial for the country to annexation of land during this period, because the more land was cultivated, the more food it would be.

But since Li Mu came here through time and brought the knowledge learned from later history textbooks and knew the hidden dangers and disadvantages, he could not sit idly by. Moreover, due to his arrival and the formation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the industrialization process of the Tang Dynasty was started. This was like a butterfly flaunting its wings, which would lead to many uncontrollable changes. As long as he wanted to continue to do his own thing, he had to regulate all aspects of the system to cooperate with what he was doing.

Therefore, the land system must be reformed.

The word reform itself has shown the difficulty. However, it is even more difficult to reform a system that is now implemented without any problems, because you can't give a reasonable reason. This is also something that has always troubled Li Mu.

At this time, his experience as a game designer greatly helped him.

As a game designer, it is actually a work that is suffocating from both ends. As a game designer, you have to face two types of people. First of all, players, as a player, naturally, they require the game to be fun, and it is best to spend less money, or even don’t spend money, and play for free. This is equivalent to the people. However, developing games requires money, operating games requires money, servers require money, publicity, and maintenance, and all of them cost, so it is impossible to be free, and the wool must be paid on the sheep. These are equivalent to the expenses of the court, the army, foreign wars, etc., which are not matters for the emperor to be stupid or not, but necessary expenses.

As a game designer, there is also a boss and father. What does the boss start a company? Is it because the game makes you happy? Of course not. The boss and father want to make money, he wants to make profits. Even if the money has become a number to a certain extent, he still has to brag. Compared with the bosses from all sides, even if the bosses from all sides are pressed under his feet, he becomes a "Heaven Khan". He still has to compete with his predecessors and future generations, and is famous in history and awesome forever.

This is the goal of Li Mu's current boss father and Comrade Li Shimin. As the second heir in the company, he killed the first heir, and he must prove his awesomeness.

Li Mu has suffered this kind of splinter. During the internal testing of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the data balance group he was responsible for was often scolded by players in the morning, grandson! I have charged six yuan for the first time, why don’t I behave like an orange? In the afternoon, the boss is scolded by his grandson, grandson, you can even give him a green suit, and you don’t want a job!

As a result, I worked overtime at night, and on the one hand, I changed the explosion rate of the first charge, and on the other hand, I made some GM numbers to flood the screen on the server. Hahaha, this game has a very high explosion rate. I got an orange outfit after charging six dollars...

It's also very difficult.

This experience gave Li Mu, the former data balance master, a different thinking. Although the question is difficult, there are still solutions. Moreover, the existing land stock is so large that there is a lot of room for maneuvering. This is like an in-game test. Even if there is a little complaint, the server can be reset to recover, which is okay.
