Chapter 793 The 'Law on Land Acquisition' was officially promulgated
Now it seems that this brand-new separation incident between the Xun family of Henan and the Xun family of Yingchuan is inseparable from the Dutian operation, and maybe the Xun family of Yingchuan is not aware of this matter at all.
Their guess was correct. The Xun family in Yingchuan did not know much about this matter. Even Xun Yu, who had just attended the government affairs conference in Luoyang and was preparing to lead his team back to Qingzhou, did not know much about it.
Xun You's sudden request to separate the family stabbed Xun Yu hard. Xun Yu was caught off guard and was heartbroken. He quickly found Xun You and asked him about the matter.
"Gongda, what is going on? Why... do you want to separate the family?"
When Xun Yu saw Xun You, Xun You was handling the official affairs of the Privy Council. He raised his head and glanced at Xun Yu, then lowered his head again.
"Wen Ruo, I have said that I have tried my best to help the Yingchuan Xun family through the crisis, but every time, every time this family makes my efforts in vain, I have been completely disappointed with this family, so I want to
Separate the family."
"This this……"
"I have done a lot for the family, but there are too many hopeless people. I have no other choice but to separate the family."
While approving the official document, Xun You said slowly: "There are still some people who can be saved, but I have saved them all. It can be regarded as preserving the incense for the Xun family and continuing to pass it on. It will be worthy of the ancestors and worthy of the Xun family itself. Wen Ruo, I have
What did you do wrong?"
Xun Yu was speechless at this.
But he soon realized something.
"Could it be that Your Majesty..."
"Don't think too much. As long as you don't start a rebellion, Your Majesty won't kill people. It's just that the Xun family in Yingchuan will probably decline."
Xun You shook his head: "But it doesn't matter. The Xun family in Yingchuan has declined, but the Xun family in Henan is still there. The glory of the Xun family will continue, it's just a different group of people."
"Gongda, you..."
"Wen Ruo, that's enough."
Xun You closed an official document and raised his head to look directly at Xun Yu: "I have done a lot. I have tried my best to do what I can. For Xun, I have done much more than you! You are not qualified.
Accuse me."
After saying that, Xun You asked someone to ask Xun Yu to go out. He said that he would never see Xun Yu again and let Xun Yu take care of himself.
Xun Yu walked out of the Privy Council in despair, not knowing what to do.
At this time, he was indeed going back to Qingzhou. He was still the governor of Qingzhou and his responsibilities were still there. He could not stay in Luoyang for a long time.
After thinking about it, Xun Yu wrote a letter to be brought to Xun Su, asking Xun Su to think of a way to make the final attempt to persuade him to stay. If the final attempt to persuade him to stay failed, he should be prepared to deal with the Du Tian Order.
get ready.
Liu Bei is here for serious reasons, not for fun. Xun You has already warned clearly that if he takes any chances again, someone will die.
In any case, land wealth is not as valuable as life.
After the trustee sent the letter, Xun Yu led the team back to Qingzhou amidst infinite emotion and worry, and under the strange eyes of his subordinate officials.
The response from the Xun clan was also relatively quick.
Those members of the Xun clan who agreed to follow Xun You in setting up another sect in Henan County immediately packed up their bags and went to Luoyang to look for Xun You after Xun You's success in the petition.
The only thing they had done before that was to sell the land under their name in advance, exchange it for money, and prepare to leave their hometown in Yingchuan.
Although it is difficult to leave the homeland and the family ties are strong, when the building is about to collapse, no matter how strong the family ties are, they have to give way to the desire to survive. Their departure was difficult, sad and painful.
At the same time, I am also very happy.
The departure of this group of people and the simultaneous news that the Yingchuan Xun family had been separated completely detonated the Yingchuan Xun family.
Xun Su, the endlessly troubled head of the Xun family, finally couldn't sit still.
He received a letter from Xun Yu and learned that a group of clan members exchanged their property and headed to Luoyang in a group with Xiruan, which caused panic within the family and a feeling that the building was about to collapse.
He finally stopped worrying, and quickly took the bus and traveled day and night to Luoyang. He met Xun You and asked him what was going on. His tone sounded reprimanding and questioning.
In response to his reprimands and questions, Xun You's answers were unceremonious.
The content of Xun You's answer can be summarized in one sentence - how can we manage the future of Xun's family with a group of insects like you?
Xun Su was angered by Xun You's unceremonious reply. He pointed at Xun You's nose and scolded Xun You for being ungrateful and wanted to expel Xun You from the Xun family clan.
Xun You just sneered at this feeble threat.
"Uncle, I am no longer a member of the Xun clan in Yingchuan. I am the clan leader of the Xun clan in Henan. This is allowed by the emperor. What is the need for you to expel me, the clan leader of the Xun clan in Henan, from the clan of the Xun clan in Yingchuan?
?"
Xun Su's face turned blue with anger. He pointed at Xun You and was speechless for a while. His lips were trembling.
After a while, he calmed down a little.
"Gongda, have you really decided to become an enemy of the family?"
"It's not that I want to be an enemy of the Xun family in Yingchuan, but that the Xun family of Yingchuan wants to be an enemy of the world!"
Xun You said angrily: "A few years ago, I suggested that Xun follow in the footsteps of His Majesty. At the most critical moment, I wrote three letters in a row and asked the former patriarch to do the right thing three times, but none of my suggestions were adopted. In the end,
Yingchuan Xunshi missed the opportunity!
And after this incident, the former patriarch actually blamed me once, saying that I didn't insist on him more firmly, so that he couldn't make up his mind, and actually blamed me for the mistake! Don't I care enough about the Yingchuan Xun family? If
He followed my advice at that time. How did the Xun family in Yingchuan end up today?
Despite this, I did not completely ignore the Xun family in Yingchuan. Previously, I also came forward to request your majesty to give the Xun family a last chance to support your majesty in conquering the fields and not to resist stubbornly in order to gain your majesty's understanding. If so,
, the Xun family in Yingchuan still has a future.
But even if it is such a simple matter, you are all procrastinating and unable to make a decision. You are the same, and so is Wen Ruo. You are all entangled and imagining, and you have no idea what the situation has become! If I continue to be with you,
I will be killed by you too!
Therefore, I chose a more sensible clansman to join me, leave Yingchuan, establish another sect, preserve the Xun family's inheritance, and don't let the Xun family be destroyed by you group of insects. This is what I owe to my ancestors and the Xun family.
The final reward.”
There was nothing left to say between Xun You and Xun Su. They were completely torn apart and there was no room for relaxation.
Xun Su also desperately realized the irreversibility of all this, and he almost fainted in anger.
Really, Xun Su really wanted to enforce the family law and punish Xun You, but when things came to pass, he found that he couldn't do it at all.
He doesn't have any power to do all this, and he can't do anything to Xun You.
Xun You was a high-ranking Privy Councilor, and behind him stood Emperor Liu Bei and his 300,000 troops.
And he, Xun Su, is nothing.
Xun Su left Luoyang in great despair, and then sent people to rush to bring the news to Xun Yu who was far away in Qingzhou, hoping that Xun Yu could do something.
He believed that Xun Yu was, after all, a state governor with two thousand shi, and a feudal official in charge of a state. He should have enough power and connections to operate a little and give Xun You some good looks.
Without power, he could do nothing. For the first time in his life, he felt that power was such an important thing.
However, it was all too late.
There was such a farce in the final stage of the government affairs conference in the first year of Zhenguan, and the people of Luoyang were talking about it.
Shortly afterwards, on April 16, the day when the Henan Xun clan officially established its clan in Henan County, Emperor Liu Bei personally visited the Henan Xun clan's mansion and offered blessings and congratulatory gifts to Xun You, the chief of the Henan Xun clan, and his clan members.
Xun You was overjoyed and led his whole clan to express his gratitude to Liu Bei, saying that the Xun family in Henan would always be loyal to Liu Bei and would never change his mind.
This matter came to an end, and no more waves could be stirred up. After the separation of the Yingchuan family, further fierce internal differences arose.
Some people think that Xun You is a traitor to the clan, including the dozen or so domestic and foreign families who followed him. They are all traitors to the Xun family and should be punished in the most severe and cruel way. Not only should they be removed from the clan, but they should also be assassinated.
Give them a little color to show off the energy of Yingchuan Xunshi.
Some people also believe that what Xun You did may be a way for the family to spend money on Sanye. After all, he is still a member of the Xun clan and has not denied his inheritance.
More people thought that Xun You was seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so they were worried about the peak of the emperor's occupation of the fields that might be set off by the next emperor. They were worried that in the next wave of the peak of the occupation of the fields, they would not only be unable to keep their property, but also lose their property.
life.
Under great worry, some of the Xun clan's psychological defenses were broken down and they were frightened. So they bypassed Xun Su and privately sent people to Henan County to discuss the matter with Xun You, hoping to leave the Xun clan in Yingchuan and transfer to
The Xun family in Henan hoped that Xun You could take them in.
Xun You made conditions.
He gave up all his private land and slaves in Yingchuan, gave them away or sold them, and brought only Xiruan and his family to Henan County.
The family will provide part of the land, and they will then spend their own money to buy part of the land to settle down and start a business.
In a household, a male can only own 200 acres of land, and a female can only own 100 acres of land, no more.
And from now on, the Xun family in Henan will have a maximum of three slaves per household, and they cannot use more slaves in agriculture. They need to support themselves as much as possible, follow the line of farming and reading, and transform from the Wenyue family to the Juanwang family, and devote themselves to farming and reading.
Route, abandon all other livelihoods.
Especially don't touch business.
To be fair, such conditions are a fatal temptation that ordinary people cannot avoid.
However, it is indeed very difficult for the Xun clan, who live a comfortable life and have good food and clothing, to return to the path of farming, studying and inheriting the family, without being able to have a large number of servants to serve them.
Their status as rich and well-dressed people is gone forever, and it is hard to say what their future lives will be like. With all kinds of complicated emotions, those wavering Xun clan members started discussions again and again, and started rounds after rounds.
debate.
Finally, at the end of April, seven more clan families made a decision and decided to abide by Xun You's conditions, give up some important things in exchange for the future, and request to transfer clans.
Xun You told Liu Bei about this, and Liu Bei approved it and granted the Xun family in Henan 2,000 acres of land to distribute among themselves.
The Xun family in Henan was happy to welcome their new daughter, but the Xun family in Yingchuan was shocked, angry, and gloomy.
At this time, nearly a quarter of the clan members have taken refuge in Xun You. As a branch, Xun You is simply a bit strong. What will happen if this situation continues?
But Xun Su couldn't come up with any solution. When things came to a head, Xun Su fell into trouble again.
The tribesmen had no choice but to unite and write to Xun Yu, saying that the Xun family in Yingchuan was on the verge of division and collapse, and asked Xun Yu for help.
But what can Xun Yu do?
He is the governor of Qingzhou. He is far away on the coast of Qingzhou and is beyond his reach. He has no time to care about what is happening in Gu Yingchuan. He himself has many government affairs to be busy with. Regardless of Xun's situation, as the governor of Qingzhou, he is very busy.
When the Xun family in Yingchuan was in chaos, Liu Bei did not take any time off.
He believed that by now, the core power groups of the Third Reich had unified their will, and the official promotion of Dutian was imminent and had to be launched.
For many, many years before this, although Dutian was not officially promoted, many of the things Liu Bei did were to prepare for Dutian, such as rounds of political purges, cleaning out groups after groups entrenched in local areas.
A wealthy family and a powerful force.
The cleansing of these forces means that the local manorial agricultural forces that can resist the imperial court have been brutally attacked. This is also in the context of political correctness and does not involve the matter of farming.
So basically, no one thought that Liu Bei was dealing with them just to save the land. They just thought it was a political struggle, a struggle for power, and to gain more power.
And when Liu Bei was really preparing to start his journey to conquer the fields, compared with when he started to conquer the fields five, six, seven or eight years ago, the entire Han Empire had changed the human world, and preparations in all aspects were almost completed, and all the enemies that could be destroyed were eliminated.
They are all almost wiped out.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the wave of farming that will begin in the first year of Zhenguan is actually the harvest of many years of hard work. It is the season of great harvest, not the beginning of hard work.
The hard work in the past has brought golden waves of wheat. You only need to work harder and use the sickle to cut off all the wheat, and you will get a full harvest, and the next days will be easier.
After thinking about this matter, Liu Bei no longer had any worries about the entire operation to conquer the fields.
So on the first day of May in the first year of Zhenguan, Liu Bei officially promulgated the long-prepared "Law on Land Acquisition".
In addition to the elaboration of some regulations and goals of the entire land-grabbing behavior, this time's land-grabbing decree is actually equivalent to the new land policy of the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty. It covers a lot of content, not just
A declaration of war.
More, it's policy.
It is the land policy under the new system after the completion of Dutian, and it even includes brand-new policies related to taxation.
For example, the core point of the land taxation law is [the government and the people pay taxes as one].
Liu Bei formally and clearly stipulated that, let alone the private sector, the official class must also begin to implement strict taxation policies. No one can escape. In the past, the tax system for the official class, which was full of loopholes and could be used for horse racing, will now be implemented.
Make changes right from the start.
Except for official salaries and welfare rewards personally given by the emperor, which do not need to be taxed, all other land belonging to the official, his tribe, relatives and friends, and income from commercial sources are subject to tax.
The 160,000 officials of the Han Dynasty must play an exemplary and leading role in this regard. Anyone who opposes the imperial policy in this aspect is simply apolitical and has no future.
