Chen Lang wrote as he wrote: "The impact of Sun Jian’s policies on the people, the livelihood of the people, and the contradictions in society, etc., these are the things I want to know. As for confidential information, those things have been carefully investigated. I, the lord, won’t overstep me."

Li Gun understood a little, and asked curiously: "What did the master learn today?"

As he wrote, Chen Lang said: "I learned about Sun Jian's land policy today and the impact of these policies on the people." Chen Lang stopped writing, looked at what he wrote, and thought: "I didn't expect Sun Jian and Zhou Yu to come up with it. This method. They handed over all the farmland to the gentry, and at the same time promised to the people that they would be exempted from taxes for a period of time. This method kills two birds with one stone! It has won the hearts of ordinary people and won the welcome of gentry scholars."

Li Gun was greatly depressed, "Should you give all the land to the gentry? How can the farmers be happy like this?"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "It's not about taking the land and giving it to the nobles. It's not that simple. What the old farmers said is not very clear, but according to my judgment, Sun Jian should allocate the farmland to the big and small nobles, similar to enfeoffment. , But there are some differences. In this way, the gentry is naturally happy and fully supports Sun Jian’s rule. This has the basis of what they call the rule. At the same time, Sun Jian also implemented a tax exemption policy for ordinary farmers and persuaded the gentry to also implement it. Tax exemption policy, and requires them to promise farmers that the land will always be handed over to them for farming, and they will never be dismissed. In this way, for farmers, although the ownership of the land has changed, it will not only increase the burden for the moment. On the contrary, it also reduces the burden and increases their income, so they are naturally willing to accept it. This kind of thing is not forced. Sun Jian told everyone that if you accept the policy of envelopment, you can enjoy tax-free benefits, and vice versa. Owning land, but the tax is a lot, and there is even an increase. In this way, most people will naturally surrender the land when they see the immediate benefits. Hehe, this approach is very clever!"

Looking at Li Gun, he smiled and asked, "If you are a farmer, would you choose to own the land or give up the land?"

Li Dun was stunned, thought about it seriously, frowned and said, "I, I seem to want to give up the land. It's a lot of shrinking every year!"

Chen Lang smiled, "That's it." Then he thought: "This is actually Sun Jian's official assistance to the gentry to carry out land annexation activities. The reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred in the last years of the Han Dynasty was the key to the land issue. One. To make the rule stable, we must first solve this problem. Both Cao Cao and I solved the problem by taking the land of the gentry and giving it to the ordinary people. We also used the strategy of state-owned land. But Sun Jian and the others would actually be able to solve the problem. Go the other way, simply regulate this merger activity to solve the problem."

After a pause, he frowned and said, "This effect is obviously good, and it can win the strong support of the gentry, and the ordinary people can accept it. However, after all, this is drinking poison to quench thirst. The problem has only been covered up and has not been solved. I am afraid that these problems will one day be solved. It will explode in an all-round way, and then it will be difficult to deal with."

Then he smiled and said: "Sun Jian and the others are smart, but they underestimate ordinary people. Although the people value their immediate interests more, they don't care about land ownership. Losing land ownership is an issue for all people. Sting! We can make good use of this."

Chen Lang stretched out a big lazy waist, ate the supper, got up and walked to the window, and opened the window.

It was already late at night. The bright moon illuminates the entire Jiangxia city, and the mountains and rivers in the distance are hidden by the rivers, and the nearby houses stretch, and the scenery is quite good. Although it is late at the moment, there are still a few areas that are still very lively. Although this Jiangxia City is not as prosperous as Luoyang, it can be regarded as a prosperous city on the Yangtze River. Being able to manage such a prosperous city, it can be seen that Sun Jian and others are indeed not comparable to ordinary princes.

Looking at such a scene, Chen Lang couldn't help but think of the wives and daughters far away at home, and couldn't help flying back to Luoyang with a heart.

At this time, in Luoyang, thousands of miles away, Dong Yuan and others were playing around the lake with Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang held Dong Yuan's hand, raised her head and asked hopefully: "Sister Dong Yuan, why isn't Dad coming back?"

Dong Yuan was already angry in her heart, and she said with no anger; "Huh! That bad guy ran outside by himself to Fengliu and go happy, don't let us go!" Xiangxiang was taken aback and panicked and yelled: "Daddy won't Don't let us!"

Dong Yuan eh. Diao Chan smiled and said, "Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, your sister Dong Yuan is talking nonsense, not true!" Dong Yuan quickly said: "Yes, I just scolded that bad guy."

Xiangxiang calmed down, pursing her small mouth and complaining: "Sister Dong Yuan, you almost scared me to death!"

Dong Yuan muttered annoyedly: "It's all caused by that bad guy! It's just a bad guy!"

Madam Dong smiled and said: "Yuanyuan, you always scold the lord like this, be careful that he treats your family law!" Dong Yuan immediately jumped up and exclaimed in annoyance: "Wait for him to come back, let's see who the family law is waiting for. Who!" Then, as if thinking of something interesting, he laughed out loud.

auzw.com Ache! Chen Lang suddenly sneezed. Rubbing her nose, she smiled and said, "Eighty percent is Yuanyuan scolding me behind her back!"

...

Early the next morning, Chen Lang left most of the people in the inn, leaving the inn with Dian Wei and Li Dang and strolling around the street.

Seeing that there were not many customers in an antique shop not far away, Chen Lang led Dianwei and Li Dang into it.

The boss was overjoyed to see that someone finally came to the door, and hurriedly greeted him. But I saw three barbarians in Dongyi costumes who came in. The excitement that was originally filled with excitement instantly turned into running water, and the joyful expression was like an eggplant that had passed through the winter.

Seeing the boss's rich expression change, Chen Lang naturally understood his thoughts, and smiled: "Boss, you don't need to be disappointed. Although we are barbarians, we are still quite rich." The boss laughed dryly and asked with a waist. Said: "What does this guest officer want to buy?" Then he cursed in a bad manner in his stomach:'A savage barbarian, what can I know, I actually ran to my antique shop! "Then my heart moved, and he secretly said: "He didn't come to the wrong place, did he?" At this point, he hurriedly smiled cautiously: "The guest officer, did you come to the wrong place? I am a place selling antiques! Do you understand? Antiques! Not for food!"

Dian Wei cursed badly: "What the **** are you doing? It seems that we don't know antiques! Isn't the antique the old broken jars and bowls?" Chen Lang laughed, and the boss laughed a few times.

Chen Lang took out an ingot of gold and put it on the counter. When the boss saw the golden gold, his eyes brightened. He hurriedly picked up the gold and weighed it, only to feel that the weight was full, it was definitely pure gold. The boss was overjoyed and he hurriedly hung his waist and said to Chen Lang, "I really don't know Taishan! I didn't expect this guy, this strong man actually has such a research on antiques!" Then he pointed to the dazzling array of antiques. , Said: "I have everything from the bronze tripods of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the palace lanterns of the early Han Dynasty! A strong man can see what he likes, just take it! If it is not here, just tell me, I can go to the warehouse for The strong man is here!"

Chen Lang observed it, but Chen Langzhi was not antique, so he picked a bronze mirror casually. Unexpectedly, the boss exclaimed: "The strong man is so insightful! This is the bronze mirror that Queen Lu used back then! Although it is not a rare treasure, it is also a very rare antique!"

Chen Lang saw a sly look flashed in the boss's eyes, and knew that this guy was playing tricks with him. This bronze mirror must be just an ordinary artifact, the boss deceived himself as a Dongyi barbarian with little knowledge, and wanted to take the opportunity to brutally slaughter himself. This is really called a profiteer!

Pretending to be ignorant, Chen Lang handed the bronze mirror to Li Dang beside him. Turning around and asking the boss: "This antique, one ingot of gold should be enough, right?"

The boss hurriedly said: "Although it is lacking, but I and the strong man hit it off as soon as we met, and we made a deal!"

Chen Lang was amused secretly, without exposing him, said: "Boss, I don't know much about antiquities, I don't know if I can ask the boss for advice?"

The boss had just eaten a large sum of money, so naturally he would not refuse Chen Lang’s request. He also wanted to take the opportunity to sell more of his own things to this rare big scalper. So he nodded and said: "Well, good, I met the strong man right away. I want to have a good conversation with the strong man!" Then a little second was called and asked him to look at the front, and then led the Chen Lang three people to the back.

The two sat down as the guest of honor, while Dian Wei and Li Gun stood behind Chen Lang. The boss asked someone to serve tea, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

At first, the two talked about antiques, such as the bronze tripod of the Shang Dynasty, the carriage of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and so on. While chatting, Chen Lang led the topic to the boss's income without a trace: "Jiangdong is so prosperous. The boss must have made a lot of money when he opened a shop here?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this was said, the boss sighed sadly, shook his head and said: "The strong man knows something! Our days don't want to seem so easy on the surface!"

Chen Lang wanted to elicit such words. Upon hearing this, he asked inexplicably, "Why is this? I think Jiangdong is very prosperous?"

The boss couldn't help sighing again, and said angrily: "The prosperity is indeed prosperous! But ah, this tax is too heavy! It makes people feel a little breathless!"

Chen Lang said in amazement: "I heard that King Wu exempted all agricultural taxes. Why does the boss say that the taxes are too heavy?"
