Chapter 789: Empress Ma, Who Has A Better Reputation Than Zhu Yuanzhang In Later Generations, Libera
After talking about running a school, Yan Changqing then wrote the word "dividing fields" after the word "running a school", and then continued:
"And if you still want to overpower Empress Wende, then you need to do one more thing, and that is for the empress to ask your Majesty for an order to allocate acres of land to all women in the world!"
Hearing Yan Changqing talk about "dividing fields", whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they all frowned and said:
“Divide the fields?!”
"Share the land equally for all women in the world?!!"
"Is this okay?!!"
“Has there ever been any precedent of allocating land to women in the world?!!”
"I'm afraid this will really arouse fierce opposition from all civil and military officials!!!"
"Why do you suddenly want your mother to divide the land for women in the world?"
The princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were developing their own opinions one by one.
It's not that they have much objection to allocating land to women in the world, but they simply feel that allocating land to women in the world involves too much scope and involves too many things.
If Empress Ma is asked to run a women's college, this can be said to be an internal matter of the royal family. No matter how hard it is, it will not be the turn of foreign ministers to express objections.
So the issue of equal distribution of land and acres for women in the world cannot simply be said to be an internal matter of the royal family and passed on in one sentence.
After all, the Ming Dynasty did not allocate land and acres to women. Now, if you want to allocate land and acres to women, you must go through the joint deliberation and discussion of all civil and military officials.
Moreover, compared with running a school, the issue of equally sharing land and acres for women in the world may be more likely to attract fierce opposition from those who use heirlooms.
Yan Changqing glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below, nodded, and affirmed:
"That's right, we want to share the land equally with all the women in the world!"
"There are precedents for this in history. For example, the Land Occupation Law of the Western Jin Dynasty stipulated: 'A man can occupy seventy acres of land, and a woman can occupy thirty acres of land.'"
"In the Northern Wei Dynasty's land equalization system, it was also stipulated: 'Men have 80 acres of open field, 20 acres of mulberry field (if not hemp field); women have 40 acres of open field.'"
"Similarly, in the Sui Dynasty, the land equalization system during the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also stipulated: 'Each male male shall receive 80 acres of bare land [Yongye shall receive 20 acres; women shall receive 40 acres of bare land]"
“In the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the land equalization system was changed to: ‘Ding men are allocated 80 acres of land, Shiye land is 20 acres, and women are no longer allocated land.
“After that, from Emperor Sui Yang to the Tang Dynasty, then to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and to today’s Ming Dynasty, women were no longer allocated land.
Starting from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, even in the Tang Dynasty where everyone thought women had the highest status in 023 Yan Changqing's previous life, and even the Tang Dynasty where the only female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian, was not allowed to grant land to women.
The content of the land equalization system formulated during the Tang Dynasty was basically the same as that of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
But before Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the country's land system not only treated men and women equally, but at least women were given a share of land.
"However, although the imperial court did not grant land to women, it also exempted women from corvee taxes. After all, rights and obligations are relatively unified."
"But if the Empress, as an ordinary woman, can make her own choices, then does the Empress hope that she, as a woman, can exempt herself from the corresponding corvee taxes by not owning this part of the land?!!"
"Or would you rather bear this part of the corvee tax and own your own piece of land?!!"
Yan Changqing looked at Queen Ma and asked in a gentle tone.
After Empress Ma pondered for a moment, she said truthfully:
"Although I have to bear part of the corresponding corvee taxes, I still hope to have an acre of my own land!"
"Fields are the people's life, and they are also the people's foundation."
"If women can also own their own acres of land, women will have a lot of confidence in their lives."
"Furthermore, even if a woman doesn't have land, the real tasks she has to bear may not be that small!"
"In this case, as a woman, I would rather be more miserable and tired, and still have my own piece of land!"
Yan Changqing nodded and then said:
"There are five reasons why the empress is asked to allocate fields to women in the world."
"The first reason is what I just said. If the empress can win a piece of land for women all over the world, plus the women's college that she has previously applied for for women all over the world."
"Then it can be said without politeness that by virtue of her two great achievements of being the first to set up a [college] and [dividing fields] for women in the world, the empress will be in the history books of the future generations.
She will definitely become the most virtuous queen of all times and will be praised by generations!"
"Whether it's Empress Wei Si, Empress Wende, or any other so-called virtuous empress, the empress is far behind!"
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes did not realize the significance of setting up a women's college and allocating land to women in the world.
However, if we look back on these two events in future generations, we will find that the women's college run by Empress Ma recruited the daughters of noble marquises and civil and military officials, as well as the daughters of ordinary poor people.
This is equivalent to setting a precedent for women in the world to truly receive official education!
With this precedent, more and more women will be able to study and go to school with the same dignity as men in the future.
In addition to the previous regulations set by Yan Changqing, Wanmin Agricultural College, Wanmin Medical College, Wanmin Academy of Sciences, and Wanmin Business School will recruit at least one female student from every county in the world.
The combination of the two is equivalent to opening up a channel for women to study and attend the "imperial examination" in disguise.
In the future, those women can go to the women's academy established by Queen Ma or the women's private schools established by others to read and read and receive the education they deserve.
After you have gained a certain amount of knowledge, you can try to take the entrance examination of Wanmin Agricultural College, Wanmin Medical College, Wanmin Academy of Sciences, and Wanmin Business School.
Once they pass the entrance examination, they can study in Wanmin Agricultural College, Wanmin Medical College, Wanmin Academy of Sciences, and Wanmin Business School. After graduation, they can get official positions awarded by the imperial court.
With an official position, you can go to court to discuss matters, make your own voice and express your own ideas.
This is equivalent to a Tongtian Grand Dao for a woman!
And this Tongtian Grand Dao is not entirely pioneered by Queen Ma, but at least half of it is due to Queen Ma!
Based on this point alone, it is no exaggeration to say that Queen Ma will be praised by the world and the women of future generations in the future!
In addition, the land is divided for women. Is this land allocated? !!
No, this is about women’s independence!
In an era when food is the most important thing for the people and fields are the source of food, whoever owns fields has the confidence to be self-reliant.
However, since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, women have lost their land and the confidence to be self-reliant, and have gradually become the vassals of men.
The fact that Queen Ma redistributed the land for the women of the world was, in a sense, equivalent to letting the women of the world break away from the vassal status of men again and return to the independent status of women in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
In addition to the previous schools, women can also obtain corresponding official status through Wanmin Agricultural College, Wanmin Medical College, Wanmin Academy of Sciences, and Wanmin Business College.
In the future, the status of women in the Ming Dynasty will not only return to the independent status of women in the Qin and Han Dynasties in the past, but even surpass the independent status of women in the Qin and Han Dynasties, approaching Yan Changqing in one fell swoop. The great man in the previous life said that women can truly hold up half the sky. status.
For this reason alone, Empress Ma deserves to be worshiped and praised by all women in future generations!
By then, various titles such as "the first person to create a women's college", "the first person to promote women's education", "the first person to awaken women's equality consciousness" and other titles will be attached to Queen Ma.
And Empress Ma, who has made two great achievements in running schools for women and allocating fields for women, will surely be promoted to the position of "the most virtuous empress throughout the ages" by future generations!
Whether it is Empress Wei Si, who is known as the richest dowry in history, or Empress Wende's eldest son, who is virtuous and virtuous, depends on Emperor Taizong of Tang for life and death, and co-founded the rule of Zhenguan, they are far inferior to Empress Ma.
Because whether it is Empress Wei Si or Empress Wende's eldest son, their own achievements can only influence one generation at most.
But Queen Ma’s own achievements have benefited thousands of generations of women in the future!
Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of course that Queen Ma is honored as "the most virtuous queen through the ages" by future generations.
[Maybe one day she will be in the history books of later generations, and in the evaluation of later generations, Queen Ma's reputation will be better than Zhu Yuanzhang's. 】
[After all, Zhu Yuanzhang’s achievements are undoubtedly beyond doubt, but Zhu (bhfj) Yuanzhang also did a lot of cool things. 】
[In the evaluation of later generations, he should become an emperor like the First Emperor Ying Zheng, whose merits outweighed his faults, but who was constantly debating. 】
[And what people in the future can see in the history books are all the benevolent and good governance done by Empress Ma, and the precedents that are beneficial to future generations. 】
[Under such circumstances, it makes sense that Queen Ma has a better reputation than Zhu Yuanzhang. 】
Glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma who were thinking, Yan Changqing thought to himself.
"The second reason is to allow the state to control more acres of public land in a disguised form and to inhibit the speed of annexation of land acres."
"Now the acres of land distributed by the imperial court to men all over the world are all Yongping fields.
"In other words, once the land and acres are allocated to a man, the man's family will no longer be able to survive and will have to sell the land and acres to the court again.
"Otherwise, the imperial court will have no excuse and no reason to take back the acres of land that were previously distributed to men in the world."
"But the more Yongye fields the imperial court distributes to men all over the world, the slower it will be to recover acres of land in the future. Similarly, if the imperial court wants to abolish private ownership of land, it will take longer to restore land God ownership."
"Moreover, if the acres of land to be cultivated are not divided and distributed to the people of the world, there will be no one to cultivate it, and naturally there will be no output. In the end, it is the imperial court that will suffer the loss.
"But if it is distributed to women all over the world in the form of open fields, then the open fields allocated to women are actually equivalent to acres of land owned by the country."
"After all, once a woman dies, the court can re-nationalize this part of the open land and distribute it again.
"And because women's land and acres are open fields, this part of the land and acres cannot be bought, sold or traded."
"Whoever wants to trade women's bare fields is equivalent to usurping the land and acres of the country's imperial court."
“In this way, it will naturally be able to suppress and crack down on the private land in disguise.
The role of mergers.
“In a sense, this is actually a manifestation of state ownership of land.
“In this way, the more open fields the imperial court allocates, the greater the proportion of acres of state-owned land that the imperial court occupies.
"When one day all the land in the country is divided into Yongye fields and exposed fields, then the imperial court will only need to take back most of the Yongye fields and then cooperate.
The land system reform was carried out on the large amount of official land and open land that was originally controlled.
"Completely abolish private ownership of land and implement state ownership of land!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused and gave Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and ten other princes including Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Nan, and Zhu Di time to think.
Then, Yan Changqing continued:
"The third reason is that it can promote the fertility rate of the people and reduce the mortality rate of female infants among the people."
"The reason why men are favored over women among the people is not only influenced by the concept of carrying on the family line, but also an even more important factor is that the people do not see the importance of life.
What are the greater benefits of having a baby girl? "
"After all, if you give birth to a boy, the court will at least give you some land and acres, but if you give birth to a girl, the court will not give you part of the land."
"As a result, people naturally value male babies more than female babies."
"But if the court also allocates some acres of land to women, even if it is just open land, the common people will attach great importance to female babies.'"
"After all, the court will take back the Lu Tian after the woman dies. In other words, at least the Lu Tian will belong to them for the next few decades."
"Just for the decades of open field output, as long as the common people can still feed baby girls, they will try their best to raise baby girls instead of drowning them to death.
abandon. "
"If the death rate and abandonment rate of women are greatly reduced, then the population of the Ming Dynasty will naturally further increase.
"The fourth reason is that it can reduce the harmony of the people."
"After all, women who own land, even if they only have bare land, will leave with them once they divorce."
"This is equivalent to taking away part of the property from the husband's family."
"Then the husband's family will try to avoid negotiating with their wife, whether it is for emotional reasons or property interests."
"The fifth reason is that it can maximize the enthusiasm of women.
"Although those women's families also have land and acres, the land and acres that belong to their husbands are different from the land that belongs to them and follows them when they marry or leave.
Acres, those are two completely different concepts.
"If the former will probably only make them work hard to farm, then the latter will make them work hard to farm!"
Yan Changqing stated all the last three reasons in one breath.
In fact, this last point is Yan Changqing's real purpose.
In other words, whether it is to let Queen Ma open a women's college or to let Queen Ma divide the land for women in the world, the core purpose is only one, and that is to completely liberate women's production.
power, thereby improving the overall productivity of Ming Dynasty!
As long as women's productivity is completely liberated, the number of talents in Ming Dynasty will be greatly increased in the future, such as research and advancement in agriculture, medicine, industrialization and other aspects.
The speed will also be greatly accelerated.
Only in this way can Yan Changqing hope to see the Ming Dynasty enter industrialization, enter the era of steam trains and steam ships, and even touch the door of the electric age in his lifetime.
Otherwise, until the day Yan Changqing dies, he may not be able to see Ming Dynasty enter industrialization and enter the era of steam trains and steam ships.
Of course, this does not mean that the complete liberation of women's productivity will definitely enable Yan Changqing to see the Ming Dynasty enter industrialization and enter the era of steam trains and steam ships before she dies.
But at least after completely liberating women's productivity, Yan Changqing saw before his death that the probability that Ming Dynasty would enter industrialization and enter the era of steam trains and steam ships would greatly increase.
