Chapter 892 The disintegration of the big family
The Han family is the first powerful family in Hebei and the number one family in the world. This round of storms is the first to be affected. Where should we go, the Han family is caught in a fierce debate.
Han Gang firmly resisted all the actions of the court. He even proposed to use the strong men and long-term workers in the Han family to fight to the end with the court... He also found out the armor and made another sword, with a tiger face, as if he really wanted to fight to the death.
The other brothers, Han Jiang, did not speak with a dark face, and Han Wei also lowered his head. The court had just destroyed Xixia, but there were hundreds of thousands of people. They didn't even show up in the waves of water, and they were easily over.
With the current military strength of the Song Dynasty, it is really arrogant.
With the Han family, it was impossible to stop it. Perhaps the people sent out thousands of people to slap them easily... Han Wei had been under Wang Ning'an for many years, and he knew very well.
If Wang Ning'an is preparing to exchange interests, he will definitely come up with generous conditions that cannot be refused... But if he doesn't exchange with you, it means there is no room for maneuver, either bowing his head or perishing!
A life and death juncture!
...
Several elders of the Han family were unsure of their minds and were in chaos outside.
Han Zongwu asked for the right to choose, but was driven out by Han Gang in anger. Not only him, but also the other young people.
Han Gang is very domineering. When you adults talk, why are you kids fucking?
It’s a pity that some of these people are all bearded, but they are not children!
Everyone was surrounded by Han Zongwu, some called brothers, some called uncles, and some called uncles, and everyone was about to cry. You are now an official and once a student of the King of Xiliang. You can speak well. Let me analyze what to do!
Han Zongwu sighed. He originally admired Wang Ning'an the most and learned the most attentively.
But seeing Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Gong, and Su Che as the most powerful people, he was in an awkward situation and could not raise it up... In fact, no one else's fault, it was mainly because of his identity.
You tell me, Wang Anshi recommended the Qingmiao Law and Fangtianjun Tax Law, which touched the interests of the aristocratic families. Wang Ning'an promoted the distribution of land and moved the powerful people to relocate, which even angered the Han family.
He was stuck in the middle, and it would be strange if he could be in a good situation.
After suffering in recent years, Han Zongwu has become more and more introverted and weird, and he is usually calm and has little to say.
But at this moment, he had to say it!
"Since everyone has asked me, you might as well speak out and explain everything clearly."
"This is the best, we are all confused!"
Han Zongwu cleared his throat, "The court's laws are to crack down on powerful families. There is no problem with this, so why should we crack down on powerful families? Why do we need so many people in the government and the opposition to support the attack on the powerful? We should also reflect on ourselves and think about whether there is something wrong with us."
In normal times, no one will admit that they are wrong, but at this time, they can only listen carefully.
Taking the Han family as an example, although there are many talents, most of them are still the common tribe members.
But the problem is that the Han family’s property is all counted under one general ledger.
Han Yi was the chief magistrate, but the court could not collect taxes, Han Jiang was the chief magistrate, but the court could not collect taxes!
Not only can I not receive ordinary Han family members, but I can’t even receive other Han family’s side houses, side branches, or even domestic slaves and yard workers!
It would be fine if the court exempted the land tax to officials, but it did not exempt the land tax to so many people!
A Han family has at least thousands of people exempted from taxes, affecting hundreds of thousands of tenants and millions of mu of land... How many millions of mu are there in Hebei?
If it is all such aristocratic families, who will pay the taxes of the imperial court?
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem. Aristocratic families have money, food, land, and people, and patriarchal rules that exceed the laws of the court... and even clan schools, business companies, and money containers... Let's put it that way, every big family has a complete system, and it is almost impossible to ascend the throne and become the local emperor.
Because of the existence of aristocratic families, the imperial court cannot go to the government orders, and the population resources controlled by the aristocratic families cannot enter the market and be allocated. They are like stubborn fortresses, resisting the tide of the times.
...
"The court must have to take action... In the past, everyone could get the benefits of tax exemption by relying on the Han family. Now? If you follow the Han family, you will only be unlucky together. To put it badly, it's time to part with it!"
Have it broken up?
Split up!
Although Han Zongwu had this meaning in the hall, he actually scared everyone!
The Han family!
That is a wealthy family and is admired by people. Not to mention anything else, people outside heard that you came from the Han family, even if you are in a side house, you should look up to you! It is easier to get married than other people's families.
What should I do if I leave the Han family’s big tree?
Is there still a way out?
Everyone was frightened.
"This time the imperial court moved the powerful to Xixia. You must first figure out what the standard of this powerful is."
Han Zhongyan stretched out three fingers, "First, the powerful must have more than 100,000 chunks of property; second, more than 5,000 acres of land, or more than half a percent of the land in the prefectures and counties; third, more than 10 family members... These three conditions, as long as they occupy any two, they will be considered a powerful person."
Of course, the Han family occupied all three, and it was far beyond that. It was simply unreasonable for the court to not attack them.
"After dividing the family, a side house, and a family member, the property is much lower than the standard. As for the land, how many can it be?"
Everyone lowered their heads, but they didn’t have to calculate. They knew it well. The more could be more than a thousand acres, while the less could be more than a hundred acres.
According to the standard of land distribution, different places are different. If the population is large, the land will be less evenly divided. On the contrary, the land can be distributed more. According to the Han family, each person can be divided into about 6 acres.
It doesn’t seem to be too much, so don’t be busy. This time, the land is divided by population, which means that women also have a share!
A family of five can get 30 acres of land. It turns out that relying on the Han family, it is not small to pay 35% of the land rent.
Take 100 acres as an example, relying on the Han family and deducting land rent will only be equivalent to 65 acres of income.
In addition, there are various expenses in the family and they also have to pay for the money.
If the land is divided, the land will be reduced, but the land tax will also be reduced, so the difference will not be so great... And, the most important thing is that if you only plant 30 acres of land, you will have more than half a year for your own control. You can go out to work and make money, or do some small business to subsidize your family income.
In short, it will be a little harder, but it will not make you live without a living if the sky falls and the earth falls.
Some people even think it's good to split.
It is beneficial to relying on a large family, but the large family has many rules and strict constraints. They hold regular sacrificial activities every year and work for the tribe. After careful calculation, they can only say that there are gains and losses... It is also good to divide the family and make decisions by themselves!
The imperial court even destroyed the Xixia capital and was still stupid enough to oppose the imperial court. That would be impatient!
And to put it too much, if you get the benefits of getting caught under a big tree, it is not the direct-line long house of the Han family. They are so popular that they drink spicy food, so ordinary people can’t even get much.
For a little bit of soup, I compete with the court, and it is not the same for seeking death! Everyone gradually had their ideas, showed a firm look on their faces, and they clasped their fists to thank Han Zongwu for their guidance.
Han Zongwu also sighed. Of course he had feelings for the Han family, but he also knew that the big family had really come to an end, and the family based on blood ties and patriarchal law must disintegrate.
He was an official appointed by the court. After the Han family was disbanded, he could almost get 50 acres of land... Han Zongwu had no intention of managing it at all, and he didn't think about farming and studying and passing on his family. It was too outdated.
His son is five years old this year. He was sent to a kindergarten in Kaifeng two years ago. He has never been exposed to farm work since childhood. Later, he went to school, studied, took the imperial examinations, went to other colleges, became officials, or went to factories to work.
In short, the child is not allowed to continue to be the local owner.
Not only him, but many young people in the city also think so, the times are indeed changing.
It is not worth hiring a few people to farm, so it is better to transfer it out or leave it to the court, just give it a compensation.
Although there is a family connection between families, they have to share life and death. It is really unnecessary to listen to the whole family.
Han Zongwu thought about it and actually walked out of the Han family.
He looked up suddenly and saw someone waiting for him with a smile.
"It's Brother Zizhan!"
The person who came was Su Shi... Su Daxian was middle-aged and liked to eat. He was fat and stupid. He was completely a rough man. He was getting farther and farther away from the romantic talent who was as floating as an immortal.
However, he was still as enthusiastic as before. After hearing about the Han family, he was afraid that he would implicate his friends. He just came to see Han Zongwu!
"Brother Zizhan, I have decided to divide the family! Completely, all of them are divided, save trouble!"
Su Shi smiled, his mouth was also shaking, "I just said you can understand it! Let's go, I'll invite you to have hot pot to celebrate your new life! You don't know, how many eyes are staring at your house! After all, we are picking up soap together! I'm really afraid that you will take the wrong step and step into the air..."
After so many years, Wang Ning'an didn't tell Su Shi what it means to pick up soap, so Su Daxian still didn't care. He hooked up with Han Zongwu and said with a smile: "I'm really afraid that you can't think so and insist on living and dying with your family. That's going to be troublesome."
Han Zongwu smiled bitterly and shook Su Shi's arm, saying in a muffled voice: "Can you not think about it? They are all my relatives! I hope they don't make the wrong plan and force the court to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, and I can't save them!"
As he was talking, a duangduang sound suddenly rang!
Han Zongwu opened his mouth wide, it was not good!
This is the big clock at home!
According to the rules, as long as the bell rings, all the children of the Han family, including the long-term workers, temporary workers of the Han family, the guards of the servants, and the tenant farmers, must gather and not stay for a moment!
Usually, only when a family encounters a crisis and thieves appear, will they ring the bell and gather people to protect themselves!
Could it be that uncle and the others really want to kill each other?
Chapter completed!
