In the Political Consultative Hall, civil and military gathered, Li Er frowned. The Li family had only been in the founding of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years. Although it has been very popular in recent years, this does not mean that you can do it freely and want to move the land of the nobles. If you are not careful, you will be in chaos in the world.

Because the nobles not only refer to the old family forces, but also all the civil and military officials in the court, because they are all upstarts and are also granted land and enjoy fiefs. Now, when it comes to driving the land, not to mention the old nobles outside, they probably have their own ideas in the palace.

Similarly, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er could not only be the common people. Even if the old nobles did not agree to communicating land, Li Er should also have these people in his heart, because they were also part of the Tang Dynasty and could not completely harm this noble in order to take care of the other vulnerable group. The strategy of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall is not the right way to govern the country.

"Keming, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. What do you think about the land issue in Hedong and Luoyang? How many official fields are there that have not been distributed in the court?" Li Er asked.

Everyone knew after hearing this. If possible, the emperor wanted to be more conservative and did not want to cause trouble.

But Du Ruhui, who knew it, felt a bitter face, "Your Majesty, not counting two wastelands that have not been reclaimed. If the existing land is 100%, civilians only account for 30%, and nobles all occupy 50% of the land, and 20% belong to the government.

Two percent of the government has always been used as newborn babies to divide the land, or migrant populations move to households to divide the land.

Due to the prosperity and stability in recent years, people have rarely migrated. The land needed by newborn babies cannot be used up by the government every year by labor. Therefore, in this incident, the land we can use is only half of the land we can use in this local area.

Not to mention whether this half of the field is enough to plant fairy grains, if we only distribute fairy grains to the civilians, the fields of local nobles will still be wheat and soybeans, it may not be a good thing."

After hearing this, Li Er was silent. Yes, the country is not affected by the lack of worries but the unevenness. The yield of fairy grain per mu of thousands of kilograms has long been envied. If you plant it one year earlier, you will have a bumper harvest one year earlier. Who doesn’t want it? Besides, in the eyes of the nobles, you have always been superior to others, so you will definitely feel that you should be preferred to grow grains than ordinary people.

Bai Fan said inexplicably: "Even if the nobles count the maids and servants, how can they occupy 50% of the land? Can they finish eating?"

This made all officials strange. Mr. Lantian was known as the best in the world, so why didn’t he even understand such a simple truth?

Li Jiancheng couldn't watch his son-in-law make a fool of himself and replied: "It's not the point that you can eat or not. If you have too much food, you can save it to the next year to resist the disaster. If you have too much land, you can pass it on to future generations to do family business. I'm afraid that no one in the world will think that there is too much land in your hands."

Li Jing said, "Actually, there is not enough food to eat.

The greater the nobles, the more they know the importance of food. For example, although the five surnames and seven families have wealth accumulated over a thousand years, how many people are in a family? Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, plus side branches, guards, and private soldiers, it is really difficult to calculate. Such a large family can live a life of no worries about food and drink. Most of the marginalized people rely on the care of the family and maintain their starvation to death."

"No, right? In my impression, aren't the nobles all extravagant and want to spend money like money? I remember when I first entered Chang'an, I met Huai Mo, Xiao Chong, Baolin and others. They were all rich people. They went to a restaurant to make a show. That time I made a thousand taels of pocket money from them." Bai Fan became even more confused.

"You kid, as a master, are you going to deceive and bully your apprentice, and you are so embarrassed to speak?" Yuchi Gong cursed with a smile.

"That's not counting. At that time, I didn't open the door to accept disciples, and I was still a weak scholar. I, who is known as the terminator of the playboy, couldn't help but educate me even if I didn't become famous when I met a playboy."

Everyone laughed, and Li Er also said, I'm afraid that Bai Fan, the only one in the world, dares to say that a thousand taels of silver is pocket money, even the emperor himself, dare not be so generous.

"That can't be counted. They are called playboys, not nobles. Have you seen Zhijie, Lao Hei and others like this? Even if the auxiliary machine is rich, he would not dare to spend a meal of thousands of taels. Otherwise, within three hours, Lao Wei would have troubled him." Li Jing continued.

"Pharmacist, this is what you dare to say before Fu Ji and Xuan Cheng have not returned to Sichuan, otherwise you would dare to tease them like this in person?" Du Ruhui laughed.

Li Jiancheng continued: "The real nobles all need to store grain. In this era, there are no good things that have good weather every year. Basically, God is blessed by God in a bumper harvest every year.

Growing grain to fight disasters is not just a matter of the court. After experiencing the severe drought in the north that year, you should know that the smaller the nobles, the less they can withstand the disaster. The small nobles can only withstand the disaster for three months in the year of the disaster, and it is not much different from the wealthy landlords and farmers. The middle nobles can only resist half a year to a year. If there are two or three consecutive disasters, the great nobles can't withstand it. It is a skill to retain their direct descendants and not escape."

Bai Fan understood that this Tang Dynasty, which did not know what a well-off society was, was not the Song Dynasty that was extremely prosperous in the future. Although the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, it lasted for three hundred years. In that era, the science and technology, economy and culture were extremely prosperous. In today's terms, the GDP of the Song Dynasty was dozens of times that of the surrounding countries. Therefore, the four barbarians saw that the Song Dynasty was a piece of fat. We saw that the Song Dynasty was weak, which may be considered by the court at that time to save money from disasters. After all, spending money could kill a group of barbarians. Why should we fight to the death?

Although the Tang Dynasty was still martial and unyielding, the technological civilization was still too old. Everything about people still revolved around their belly and life. Food is the lifeblood, and land represents food, so everyone wants to increase their land.

"No, the nobles want so much land, but they have few people. How could so many people plant 50% of the land?" Bai Fan exclaimed.

Faced with Bai Fan's exclamation, everyone present bowed their heads and said nothing. Everyone knew this in their hearts, but this famous Marquis of Lantian was kept in the dark. In other words, this was a nouveau riche who had not truly understood the current social structure, what aristocrat was, or, in other words, aristocrats who had not truly integrated into the Tang Dynasty.

But when I think about it, I feel relieved. Since Bai Fan was born, he has always overcome all obstacles at will. He has never bowed his head and bent down because of all kinds of difficulties? And he seemed to be as help from God, and he has never failed since his debut.

Du Ruhui sighed: "Jian Zhi, although you don't want to break the dream of unity in your heart, now that you want to coordinate the overall situation, you must have a deep understanding of the so-called nobles and the real Tang Dynasty.

Over the past thousand years, although we have abolished slavery in name, in fact, were there slaves in the Tang Dynasty? I can tell you clearly, there are!

How many? Roughly estimate, 10%, at least!"

What???

Bai Fan was shocked. Even though he was from the bottom of Baijiazhuang, he had been sitting in the uncrowned king who was comparable to the emperor all the way. At this time, Bai Fan could hardly imagine that the Tang Dynasty was not the top dynasty in the legendary feudal society? How could there be slaves? Even if the country knew that there were 10% of the slaves, they were still standing by and watching?
