Divide the land!
It was a simple sentence, but Wu Sidao knew that if Zhang Mu really dared to do this, he would definitely be going against the world.
Land, this was something that only the landlord had.
To put it bluntly, they were the gentry class.
The so-called common people were never farmers, but the gentry.
Since ancient times, even peasant uprisings, including Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, had to rope in these celebrities and gentry. Without their support, it was almost impossible to seize the world.
Even if the Great Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it was the same. They had to work together with these landowners and gentry to give them preferential treatment.
On the other hand, Yongzheng's policy of having all the officials take on the job and pay the grain as a whole, as well as the policy of sharing the land with the people, had been slandered by the gentry for hundreds of years.
Zhang Mu was even more ruthless.
Divide up the land of these landowners.
"Why not?" Zhang Mu smiled." I've roughly read through these yellow books. I can tell that the number of people who own land is definitely not a small number. Moreover, I've read through the yellow books of the past twenty years and compared them carefully. There are more people who own property. If we want to divide their land, more people will support us!”
Wu Sidao could not help but widen his eyes.
Zhang Mu slowly said,"" We will distribute the land and grain equally, distribute the labor to each mu, and suppress the annexation of land. We will establish our own tax system. First, we need to deal with the big landowners…which are the nobles who own a large amount of land. We will first distribute their land so that more farmers can obtain it. In this way, they will naturally support us. This is our logistics. Once the farmers have land, they will naturally support us. Supporting us is our endless source of troops. We'll divide the land in Longgang equally!”
Zhang Mu closed the yellow book in his hand and said with a smile," The first is to win the trust of the people. This is the will of the people. Those without land are the majority, those with little land and poor land are the majority, and the big landowners are the minority. To win over the majority and strike the minority is our aim. The second is to train and train the ability of our officials. We must practice the truth and let them slowly master the skills of governing through practice. We must start from the grassroots. "When our cadre training is successful, we'll arrange for them to go elsewhere and set up farms, our organization, the militia, and even the regular army!”
"People's hearts and minds. The people know very well who treats the people well. How to treat the people well and how to make the people trust us is not something that can be done with hot-bloodedness. It takes time to build this kind of trust. We also need to learn from them. We should start from the countryside. There's no hurry to rebel. First, we need to establish a stable system. When our cadres are mature, the people of the world will support us. It's nothing!"
Wu Sidao felt as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.
He boasted that he had read all the history books.
He had never thought that there was such a way to play.
"As for those who have land, we still have to divide them up!”Zhang Mu's train of thought was very clear,"In the Qing Dynasty, there are at least four types of landowners. Firstly, they were landowners who relied solely on land rent and loans. Secondly, new landowners who earned profits from industry and commerce in addition to land rent lending; The third was a big businessman who mainly operated in industry and commerce and used land as a means of preserving property. The fourth was the small and medium-sized landowners who owned the least land but had the largest number of people.”
"Hmm…"
Wu Sidao was silent. He looked at Zhang Mu and said,"Chief, what do you mean?"
"Let's start with Big Landlord!" Zhang Mu smiled and said slowly,"" Divide them into smaller groups. The benefits of such a division are self-evident. Divide and rule. We will pull one faction to fight another. We will divide the land of the big landowners. After that, we will slowly target the landowners with more land and force them to pay heavy taxes. When we are strong enough, we will divide the land of the remaining people!”
Wu Sidao didn't know what to say anymore.
This Zhang Mu actually thought so.
Divide the land.
Moreover, after Wu Sidao thought about it for a while, it might not be impossible.
If Zhang Mu's land was divided, what would the other villages, provincial capitals, and farmers in other areas think? They still hoped that Zhang Mu would hurry over.
It was just like how Li Zicheng had gained so many soldiers and people's hearts by saying that the Roaming King would not pay any food when he came.
Moreover, Zhang Mu could divide the land, but could Kang Xi?
The Qing Dynasty had relied on the gentry class to rise. If Kangxi dared to divide the land, then whether it was the Eight Banners dignitaries, civil and military officials, or the gentry and landlords, they all wanted to change the emperor.
"Of course, the last step is to nationalize all the land!”
Zhang Mu said unhurriedly," When we build farms all over the country, the ability of individual farmers to withstand risks is very low. Moreover, if the management at the grassroots level is not in place, there will be a phenomenon of only respecting the patriarch system and not following the law. We have to carry out our own execution to the grassroots level so that the farmers can withstand all kinds of natural disasters and reduce man-made disasters as much as possible. We are going to reverse this situation!”
Wu Sidao took a deep breath and bowed to Zhang Mu,""Learn!"
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. We still need to slowly discuss how to implement the specific policies!”Zhang Mu looked at Wu Si with a smile and said,""Similarly, our warriors and soldiers still need to study. Although we brought a group of scholars here, this is far from enough. It's very difficult to change a person's thinking!!”
Zhang Mu knocked his head and said slowly,"" We have to promote our own ideas. First, we don't hate the rich. We advocate hard work to get rich, and we don't object to getting rich through industry and commerce. However, we must oppose those who seize by trickery and reap without sowing. We especially hate those officials and gentry who collude and prey on the people's ill-gotten gains!”
" What we despise is those who do not live here, such as the lazy people, and those who reap without sowing, such as the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty, such as these landowners who own a large amount of land. They do not work, do not work, and rely on the weak bodies of the people to suck blood greedily. Whether it is the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, or the new dynasty we build in the future, such people should be despised! "Political and intellectual work still needs to be done slowly. Grand Master, we have plenty of time!"”
