political

In the second year of Xian Xi (265), Sima Zhao died of illness and Sima Yan succeeded him Prime minister He ascended to the throne and held the country's military and political power. After careful preparation, in December of the same year, follow suit Cao PI The story of Dehan, preparing himself for the throne. After Sima Yan took over as Prime Minister, some people were instructed by Sima Yan to persuade the Wei Emperor Cao Huan Step aside early. Soon after, Cao Huan issued an edit saying: "King of Jin, your family has assisted the emperor from generation to generation, and the world has received the grace of the Sima family, God wants me to give you the throne of emperor, please comply with the mandate of heaven, do not refuse!" Sima Yan pretended to give in many times. Sima Yan's confidant ever , General Defender Jia Chong Others, led the Manchu civil and military officials repeatedly remonstration. Sima Yan refused several times before accepting Emperor Cao Huan abdicate [2] , awarded Cao Huan A surname . In the second year of Xian Xi (265), Sima Yan ascended to the throne, the state title Jin, known as the Western Jin. The change of yuan to Tai began, Cao Wei then died. But at this time Sima Yan heart is not easy, he is very clear, although he ascended the throne, but the crisis still exists.
From the inside, his grandfather and father, in order to pave the way for the Sima family to seize the throne, once carried out a brutal massacre of the three ethnic groups headed by Cao Shuang and their affiliated forces, which still casts a shadow in people's hearts. From the outside, although Shu Han was peaceful, Sun Wu was still there, and although Eastern Wu was not enough to compete with Jin at this time, it was still a small threat. In order to consolidate the political power, and then complete the great cause of annexing Soochow and unifying China, we must first strengthen the cohesion of the ruling group itself, and to achieve this goal, we must adopt a policy of conciliation. Sima Yan in the first year of his reign, that is, let the emperor of Wei, who has become the king of Chen Liu, carry the banner of Tianzi, the line of Wei Zhengshuo, and the ritual and music system of the world are as old as Wei. At the same time, he also gave a son of the Duke of Anle Liu Chan as the emperor's son-in-law, and lifted the imprisonment of the Han House in the second year. This not only eased the troubles in the court, especially eliminated the psychological fear of the Cao family who had become the rule object of the Sima family, but also settled the hearts of the Shu Han people, and then won the favor of the Wu people.
In order to get the country out of the turbulent environment as soon as possible and lay a solid foundation for unification, inaction and loose policy became the founding spirit of the Western Jin Dynasty. This nation-building spirit is fully reflected in various fields of the country.
In 268, Sima Yan's imperial bull clearly pointed out: "In order to preserve the Jin Dynasty forever, we now take the law of inaction as the core of ruling the nations." In the same year, he also issued five edicts to the county: one day, two days to work the people, three days to care for orphans and widows, four days to settle down, and five days to personnel. At that time, the founder of the Cao Wei Dynasty Cao Cao Following the turbulent politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to calm people's hearts and restore national power, a relatively loose and open, thrifty and realistic governance strategy was implemented. However, by the end of Cao Ei's reign, the politics became stricter and the social atmosphere became corrupt, and Cao Cao's style in that year no longer existed. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, the emperor often constantly transferred the powerful material burden to the people, and the long-term war made the people in addition to the dismal livelihood, but also added a sense of fear and exhaustion in the psychology. In this case, Sima Yan did the opposite, and proposed the strategy of a powerful country with no action is the most suitable.
  • inherit Cao Wei Revolutionizing politics
Sima Yan carried out a series of reforms in the measures of governing the country. Sima Yan's reform of the political system inherited from Cao Wei, there are different innovations, some for The Eastern Jin Dynasty (917-907) The practice of the Northern and Southern Dynasties profoundly affected the politics of the Western Jin Dynasty and its later years.
1. The initial establishment of the system of three provinces
The Wei Dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty, like the Han Dynasty of the Cao Wei Dynasty, carried on peacefully in the way of the royal dynasty, and most of the dignitaries of the Cao Wei Dynasty became the founding fathers of the new dynasty. After Sima Yan became emperor, he imitated the ancient names, mixed modern systems, and set up Taizai, A surname , Grand protector , A surname , A surname , commonplace , Dassima , Senior general And so on and so forth Hachikimi To favor your minister and your family. Among them, Taiwei, Situ, and Siong were still known as prime ministers along the Han and Wei dynasties, but in addition to Situ, they also had the authority to take charge of the township goods of the scholars in the prefecture, and like the other five Gong, almost all of them were honor and virtual titles. On account of Cao Shuang And Sima father and son have manipulated Cao Wei During the period of political power, they all used the Shangshu organization to give orders, so that the Shangshu organization with increasing power since the Han and Wei Dynasties gained the decision-making power of the imperial government in the Western Jin Dynasty. Shangshudae (province) to Order of a minister , The old man shoots the old man At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, the official officials were placed under the throne. Sankung , A surname , Driving part , Degree branch Field six Shangshu, and then changed to official ministry, temple, five soldiers, field Cao, degree branch, six Shangshu left people, six Shangshu points in charge of 35 Cao, each Cao to take specific responsibility. Shangshudae prefect Order of a minister Whether in name or in terms of authority, Shangshu servant has become a real prime minister to assist the emperor in dealing with political affairs, and sometimes the emperor also sets the record Shangshu post to appoint the power of favor, and deals with Shangshu desk affairs, too often A surname And local officials, acting on orders from the Shangshu Desk. [49]
It was set by Cao Wei Chinese book province prefect Commissioner of Chinese literature The Order of the Book was not only in charge of the drafting of imperial edicts and documents, but also participated in political affairs, and its status and reputation were greatly improved compared with that of Cao and Wei. Mohsia province prefect A surname , The horseman always serves While maintaining the power to provide policy advice to the emperor at the emperor's side, they also gained the authority to review the copywriting issued by the Shang Dynasty institutions, and their power increased. In this way, the three provinces basically replaced the Han Dynasty Three princes and nine ministers It became the highest authority under the central emperor [50] .
2. Evolution of the enfeoffment system
The system of enfeoffment was an important part of the political system of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Taishi In December of the first year (265), Sima Yan Gang became emperor and reformed the enfeoffment system. He made all the sons of his ancestor Sima Yi's family Kings, made the county the state, and the twenty thousand households in the city the great country, setting up the upper, middle and lower armies; Five thousand soldiers; Ten thousand households in the city as a secondary state, set up the upper army, the lower army, 3,000 soldiers; Five thousand households were small countries with five thousand soldiers. Uncle Sima Yan Sima Gan , Sima Lun , Sima Liang They were named King of Pingyuan, King of Langye and King of Fufeng respectively, and his brother Sima Ou was named King of Qi, all of which were great powers. Sima Yan's uncle Sima Fu, king of Anping County, surpassed the system and had as many as 40,000 households. Sima Yan's younger brothers, Cousins, uncles, uncles, uncles, uncles and uncles were crowned Kings of 27 people at the same time. Sima's business of the men and nobles are added into the jus, for the duke, the city of 10,000 households for the big country, 5000 households for the second country, less than 5000 households for the next country, Dassima stonecrop , Chariot general Chen Qian , Order of a minister Bae Su, A surname Xun Xu , A surname Zheng Chong Grand Guardian Wang Xiang , First Lieutenant He Zeng, General of the Hussars Wang Shen , commonplace Xun Fu , General Zhenbei All the guards 瓘 were made public.
After the first year of Taishi (265), because all the Kings of the imperial family stayed in the capital Luoyang, they did not come to the kingdom, and the kingdom army stipulated by the system was not established.
In the third year of Xianning (277), Sima Yan was king of Qi Sima Yau The prestige is very high, worried that there will be a battle for the imperial succession after him, want him to go to his own kingdom, and once again formulate the system of fealty. Sima clan king seal state is still divided into big country, sub-state, the next state three, and the next state is also near the county benefit full ten thousand households, third class realm They put lieutenants in charge of the kingdom's armies, and all the great Kings were destroyed Eldest son of the legal wife Generational succession Wang Jue But all the other sons were made princes by the grace of Tutyi. The meritorious official is awarded the public, and the system of sealing the country is such as the small king, and the lieutenant leads the soldiers, and the county marquis can also put 1,100 troops in the country. So many of the Kings returned to their own vassals, and those who had not returned to the vassals because of their duties, the great Kingdom had 100 defenders, the secondary kingdom 80, and the lower kingdom 60. Emperor Wudi of Jin once asked Xun Xu, governor of Zhongshu, for his opinion on this system. Xun Xu believed that most of the Kings were governors of various regions at that time, and if they were allowed to return to the feudal state, it would weaken the power of the Western Jin to control the regions. Moreover, the division of counties and the enrichment of the state will make the migrant people complain; The establishment of an army in the kingdom will also weaken the number of the national army. According to Emperor Wudi of Jin Xun Xu The opinion, yes governor Some adjustments were made to align it more closely with the enfeoffment system.
After Sima Yan pacified the south of the Yangtze River, in order to return the general power to the central government, he ordered the reduction of the armies led by the prefectures, although a few border counties still had armies, they were greatly reduced, and the armies of the kingdoms became the main local armed forces.
Taikang ten years (289 years), Huainan phase Liu Song He also wrote that the Kings sealed the country around a thousand miles, but the military is insufficient, the law is the same county, the system of no country, it is appropriate to make the country less and more military, and increase the number of the kingdom's army.
The Western Jin enfeoffment system did not realize the original intention of Emperor Wudi to consolidate Sima's power, and the Kings enfeoffed the domestic noble people, citing the Western Jin Scholar-clan system After the establishment of the Han ethnic intellectuals who were difficult to enter the official ranks, they formed a political group that deviated from the central government and fought for their own interests with their kingdom army. In the rebellion of the eight Kings in the late Jin Dynasty, Sima Ai, king of Changsha, and Sima Yue, king of Donghai, both rose up with their armies and participated in the struggle for supreme power. [49]
3. The shape of the governor system
The Western Jin followed the Han and Wei dynasties, with prefectures, counties and counties as three levels of administration. After the national unification, a total of 19 states, 173 counties, state history, officials have different driving, Treating middle stroke 3. engage in County to guard the Lord, if for the Kings to seal the country, the county is called the country, the code is changed to the history, the official has the master book, Recording office A clerk, etc.; Large counties set up orders, small counties set up heads, under the master book, record history and other staff. [49]
4. Intellectuals Patriarchal system The formation of
The Three Kingdoms Early Wei Dynasty In order to curb the fraud of the pompous cronies, Cao PI, Emperor Wen of Wei, adopted the opinion of Chen Qun, and placed the county in Zhongzheng, which was assessed as nine articles according to the conduct, talent and family history of the local scholars, as the basis for the appointment of officials by the central officials. After Sima Yi took charge of the Wei government, he also played in the state, Zhongzheng further manipulated the entry of scholars Official career Diameter. By the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, two of the nine products (one never had anyone and was virtually invisible) gradually gained the priority of being an official, and was particularly valued, known as the top grade, and the rest were regarded as the poor grade. Because the position of Zhongzheng actually mastered in the Wei Jin Chan Dynasty Have an honour or favour In the hands of the bureaucrats and nobles, the character and ability of the scholars in the evaluation have not been paid attention to, only the door of the goods, the family official, the so-called family, the valve reading has become the main basis for the evaluation, the top quality is basically controlled by the court. In the early Western Jin Dynasty Liu Yi on the statement of nine products have eight losses said: today in the right, not fine, according to the party, uneven said ruler, with love and hate, with the rise and fall of the world, regardless of talent, the decline is cut down, Xing is helped up, so that the top quality without a poor family, the lower class without scholars.
At the same time as Liu Yi Segmental burning Also said: "Today's Taiwan cabinet election, coated eyes and ears, nine products to visit people, only to ask the right." Therefore, according to the top quality, not the descendants of the duke, that is, when the road of Kundi also. It is very easy for the children of the bureaucratic nobility to enter the official career, and the promotion is rapid, and they can serve as soon as they enter the official position Shang Shulang , Secretary Lang , Chulang , riding squire, Squire of the Yellow Door The official positions of equal rank are not heavy, and these official positions are therefore called Qing officials and Qing posts. In the early years of Emperor Wudi of Jin, although he ordered Han Su many times, trying to strengthen the imperial power's intervention in the selection of officials and change the situation that the poor family had no way to rise, it was difficult to reverse the reality. As the poet Zuo Si lamented in the second poem of his "Aria Epic" : the pine on the bottom of the lush stream leaves the seedling on the mountain, and the stem is inch by inch, and the shade is one hundred feet. The world works from a high position, handsome under the liao, the terrain makes it, the origin is not one dynasty. [49]
In the first year of Taikang (280), Emperor Wu of Jin issued it after destroying Wu toshima In this way, not only officials are allowed to act Official rank Land and population were appropriated, and it was stipulated that the descendants of the scholars should also be granted the privilege of economic possession of the population and exemption from corvee labor to those scholars who already enjoyed actual political rights.
In this way, the great families whose political and economic power had been rising since the Han and Wei dynasties finally formed feudalism Landlord class One of the privileged classes, the aristocratic family system was thus established, The aristocrats It became one of the most active political forces in the politics of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties [51] .
  • Promulgate laws and rule the country according to law
The Taishi Law was completed by Sima Yan in the third year of Taishi (267) and promulgated and implemented in the following year, but it was started during the Wei administration assisted by his father Sima Zhao. At that time Sima Zhao life Jia Chong , A surname , Du Yan Equal reference Han Law , Wei Law The compilation began and was completed shortly after Sima Yan established the Western Jin Dynasty. Since it was issued in the Taishi period, it is also called "Taishi Law". Zhang Fei Du Yiwei The Law of Jin It was approved by Emperor Wudi of Jin to "decree the world", and the note has the same legal effect as the law stationery, so the law is also called" Zhang Duru ".
The Taishi Law was the first Confucian text in feudal China code Its main characteristics are "the prevention of strict etiquette and education, quasi-five suits to make crimes". On the basis of the Nine Chapters of the Law of the Han Dynasty and the New Law of the Wei Dynasty, there are 20 pieces of the Taishi Law, including names of criminals, laws, laws of theft, laws of thieves, fraud and forgery, please 赇, report crimes, arrest laws, interrogations, imprisonments, Complex law , household law, good health, destruction, palace, fire and water, Rule of law , Sekikaichi , disobedience and the law of princes, a total of 620 articles, 27,657 words. The Taishi Law is somewhat more relaxed than the previous law. It "reduce the Lord, beheading, clan punishment, from the rule", the sentence of women also has the intention of leniency. These changes of "Taishi Law" can play a role in alleviating class contradictions and internal contradictions of the ruling class in its implementation, which is conducive to consolidating Sima's power. "The Book of Jin · Annals of Criminal Law" said that it "juates its harsh, maintains its clear covenant, matters from the Canon, ascribes to the benefit of time."
Tai Shi Law has a very important position in the history of Chinese law development, and the laws of the Southern and Northern dynasties and even the Sui and Tang Dynasties are all marked by it.
Tai Shi Law is famous for its simplicity, which is a milestone in the ancient Chinese legislative history from complexity to simplicity. Jin law is also The Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties of the general law, and was used by the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, is also the longest lasting code in this period.
  • Big Feng clan, strike state county soldiers
Sima Yan, in view of the decline of the imperial family and the weakness of the emperor's family, the lesson of the ultimate demise was to make the royal family a vassal king in order to oppose the noble family. The beginning of the king is not on the country, the official in the capital division to supplement the royal family, and then the king on the country, the governor of the military, and after the town. The purpose of this move is to fight against aspirants in the noble family. However, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" proved that this policy instead led to the emergence of many aspirants among these heavily armed Kings.
The reason why the Western Jin Dynasty is responsible for the imperial family is actually related to the structure of its political power. The Jin dynasty was ruled jointly by the royal family headed by the Sima family. The royal family as a family ruled above other families, and the emperor was the representative of this first family, so its family members were qualified and necessary to obtain more power in order to maintain their superior position.
After the unification of the whole country, Sima Yan issued an edit: "I will go to the prefecture soldiers, the big county has 100 military officers, and the small county has 50." It is stipulated that:
(1) Those who are not in trouble in the states stop their armies.
(2) Those who serve only as superintendents, give up the title of general, and do not lead or concurrently lead troops Military officer Officer.
(3) Implementation Soldiers and civilians Divide and rule, the commander of the army, the emperor does not rule the people.
On the one hand, the abolition of prefectures and county soldiers can enable local officials to concentrate on civil affairs, and on the other hand, expand the number of students who bear the burden of enlistment. Military service was the heaviest burden of peasants after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was of great significance to restore production to be exempted from this burden. But also because of the state soldiers, resulting in local security can not be maintained, so after the chaos of eight Kings, the state county is unable to control the situation.

In the first month of the fifth year of Xianning (279), the Dufa Shuji captured Liangzhou [55] Sima Yan was very sorry, and the coming Dynasty lamented: "Who can beg for this rupp for me?" Malone asked for orders to go west with 3,500 warriors. During the period, the Xiongnu Liu Yuan also invited himself to go, Kong Xun, Yang Yao firmly opposed, that Liu Yuan's disaster is far greater than bald tree function. Malone crossed the warm water to the west, bald tree function and others led tens of thousands of troops with dangerous resistance. Because the mountain road is narrow, Malone built a flat box car, but also built a wooden house, placed on the car, while fighting, walking more than a thousand miles, hit the enemy dead, wounded, heavy losses. Since Malonsi's departure, no news has been heard from him, and the court is worried about him, and some say that they are all dead. When Malong's emissary arrived at night, Emperor Wudi clapped his hands and smiled happily. Early in the morning, he summoned his ministers and told them, "If you had listened to Zhu Wei's advice, there would be no Liangzhou." So he gave orders, gave Marlon the honor, and gave him generals. When Malong arrived at Wuwei, the Xianbei tribal leader Cholba Han and Almighty led more than 10,000 tribes to surrender. In December, Malong fought with the tree function, killing the tree function, and Liangzhou was pacized [57] 56 - .
  • Defeat Soochow and unify China
Subject article: The Battle of Jin against Wu
At the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, in order to buy people's hearts, awarded many meritorious officials, and many big families were made princes. In just a few years, Sima Yan had a total of 57 Kings, more than 500 principality . Soon after the collapse of Shu Han, Sima Yan appointed a group of original officials in order to stabilize the hearts of Bashu Shu Han The officials who served were court officials. Sima Yan did not take" A son of heaven and a courtier The usual method is to adopt the method of co-opting and buying people's hearts to stabilize officials at all levels to ensure a stable transition of society. Because Sima Yan also saw that although Shu Han had died, Eastern Wu had not been destroyed, and the whole country had not been unified. So he began to strategize, preparing to defeat Soochow and end the division of the country.
As early as Three kingdoms At that time, the power of Wei had surpassed that of Shu and Wu. In terms of population, Wei accounted for nearly half of the country's population. In 263, after Wei defeated Shu, The Three Kingdoms became a confrontation between north and south, and Wei became more powerful. After Sima Yan replaced Wei, he was ambitious and "had a secret plan to destroy Wu", ready to send troops to destroy Wu and unify the country.
Strategic diagram
The whole country of the Western Jin was in a positive situation, but the state of Wu was in decline. Wu Zhu Sun Hao The lewdness and brutality of Wu lost the opportunity to regroup. Sun Hao ordered the minister's daughter to go through his selection, beautiful into the harem for him to enjoy, the rest of the ability to talk about marriage, which made him lose the support of ministers, self-destruction fundamental, and eventually became a lonely person. To remonstrate with him Secretariat of the CPC He Shao Not only did he not receive his praise, but he cut off his tongue with a red-burning saw blade, which was no different from King Zhou of Shang in its brutality. Sun Hao killed many ways, very cruel, like digging eyes, peeling face and cutting off feet. Sun Hao's cruelty doomed him to perish. Due to Sun Hao's brutality, his generals also lost confidence in him and surrendered to the Western Jin. The ministers of the Western Jin saw that Wu's national strength was declining and the political situation was unstable, and they also persuaded Sima Yan to take the opportunity to destroy Wu.
However, Sima Yan was opposed by the conservatives, led by Taiwei Lu Shang Shu Shi Jia Chong, who believed that Wu had a dangerous nature on the Yangtze River and was good at water warfare, which was difficult for the Northerners to win. Xianbei (a county in Shanxi Province) Raising troops against Jin, at this time to fight against Wu, and "not the time". While the sheep, Hu, Zhang Hua Du Yu and others believe that Wu Emperor Sun Hao was extremely corrupt, he not only brutally exploited and suppressed the vast majority of the people, but also excluded dissenters within the ruling clique and used cruel torture. Sun Wu is now "upper and lower centrifugation", such as sending troops at this moment, "can win without battle". If the opportunity is missed, "Wu people will make the Lord" and work hard to rule, and then it will be quite difficult to destroy Wu.
Two schools of opinion, diametrically opposed. In this way, an extremely serious problem was placed before Sima Yan: whether to send troops to destroy Wu and unify the country? Sima Yan sided with the war camp.
In order to complete the great cause of destroying Wu, Sima Yan made full preparations in strategy. As early as the fifth year of Taishi (269), he sent the Yang Hu to guard the military center Jingzhou And began preparations for the destruction of Wu. After Yang Hu settled in Jingzhou, he reduced taxes and settled people's hearts. Jingzhou was closest to Shicheng (now Zhongxiang County, Hubei Province), an important town of Eastern Wu, and the Jin army adopted the strategy of "winning by virtue" and extended favors to the Wu army. Because Sun Hao profligate, soldiers often do not get pay, even eat not enough. Yang Hu ordered people to send wine and meat to the Wu army and disintegrate the Wu army. In this way, from time to time, Wu troops came to surrender, and Yang Hu ordered that Wu troops should be welcomed and sent off. On one occasion, Wu Jiang Deng Xiang was captured by the Jin army in Xiakou, and the subordinate of the Yang Hu insisted on killing Deng Xiang, but the Yang Hu not only did not kill Deng Xiang, but also personally freed him and sent Deng Xiang back. Sometimes, wild animals wounded by the Wu army escaped to the territory of the Jin army, and the Jin army also sent these beasts to the Wu army's tent. It is precisely because of such "thick" love that the hearts of the generals in Soochow have gradually moved toward the Jin Army.
Sima Yan is here Xiangyang While ordering Yang Hu to exert his influence on the Wu army with benevolence and virtue, he was in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Yizhou Training naval forces, building ships. After 10 years of full preparation, in the fifth year of Xianning (279), the Jin army began to launch a large-scale attack on Eastern Wu. In order to quickly win the victory, the Jin army divided into five roads along the north bank of the Yangtze River and marched towards the Wu army. On the 6th road, the Jin army started from Badong and Yizhou and proceeded east along the river to the capital of the Wu Army Jianye County . Two hundred thousand Jin troops attacked Dongwu. The Soochow garrison is in Wuxia Gorge Numerous sharp iron cones, more than ten feet long, were nailed down to seal off the river with thick iron chains at narrow points. The Jin army first discharged bamboo into the Yangtze River, and the Jin army carried numerous zhang-long fires watered with sesame oil to light the torches. Raging fire It can burn the chain. In this way, the defensive facilities of Dongwu Yangtze River were eliminated one by one. When the Jin army attacked Dongwu on the 6th road, in order to disperse and attract the Wu army troops guarding Jianye, General Anton Wang Hun Rate all the way Jin army, from north to south, straight to Jianye. Sun Hao busy life prime minister Zhang Ti He led the main force across the river to the north and attacked Wang Hun. As a result, the Jin army along the east of the river took the opportunity to capture Jianye [31] .
Due to Sima Yan's full preparation, proper timing and correct strategy, he won all the victories in the war against Wu in just over four months. From then on, all counties, prefectures and counties of Soochow were officially incorporated into the territory of Jin.
Xianning six years (280 years), Three kingdoms The situation is completely over. Sima Yan, Emperor Wudi of the Jin Dynasty, finally unified the whole country and put an end to nearly a hundred years of division [32] .

economy

  • Taikang prosperity
Subject article: Taikang flourishing age
After the unification of the whole country, the politics of the Western Jin Dynasty tended to be stable, but because of the trauma of many years of war, the life of the people was still very difficult. In particular, the royal family and dignitaries seized land without restriction, which added to the suffering of the peasants. It is said that in Lantian County, southeast of Chang 'an, there was a very inconspicuous "miscellaneous general" Pang Zong, who accounted for hundreds of hectares of good land, not to mention other dignitary. The peasants had no land, and the rich families used the land they occupied to exploit the peasants. In the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wudi took solving the land problem as one of the important contents of economic development. To this end, he formulated" Household mode "The economic system.
Household mode has three contents, namely Squatting system , household modulation and Official account for the field shade custom .
The land occupation system is a law that combines the land occupation system with the taxation system. During the reign of Emperor Wudi of Jin, the population age was divided into three groups: male and female aged from 16 to 60 were Zhengding; 13 to 15 years old, 61 to 65 years old for the second; Children under 12 years old are considered young, and those over 66 years old are considered old [58] . The provisions of the field system: Ding male a field of 70 acres, Ding female field of 30 acres [59] . At the same time, it is stipulated that each Ding man should pay 50 mu tax to the state, counting four dendrobii; Ding paid 20 acres of tax; Men pay 25 acres tax, women exempt.
This made it legal for every farmer to claim his or her fair share of land. Many of the tenants of the rich family have also left their masters to claim a piece of land that belongs to them. After the promulgation of the land occupation system, many farmers reclaimed a large area of wasteland, which played a certain role in the improvement of agricultural economy.
Household modulation is levied Household tax The system of... toshima Taxes are levied on a household basis, regardless of rich or poor. This system stipulates: "Ding Nan's household, the year lost three pieces of silk, cotton three jin; The female and the second-dinged male households lose half." Specific provisions have also been made for the transfer of households in Bien County and ethnic minority areas: households in Bien County and the mainland of the same amount of tax, near two-thirds, far one-third. Ethnic minorities, near the Naboo one, far Naboo ten feet.
It was a system to guarantee the economic privileges of nobles and bureaucrats, and also to set a "limit" on the number of nobles and bureaucrats who could occupy land and enslave the population, in order to stop the situation of unlimited land annexation and the concealing of hukou. This system states: "It Official rank The first to the ninth, each with the nobility of the field. The first one covers 50 hectares, the second one 45 hectares, the third one 40 hectares... For every one lower, five hectares less." For the shelter, "the sixth grade or above. Food and clothing customers Three, two for the seventh and eighth, and one for the ninth." "It shall have tenants, and shall have no more than fifteen tenants of the first and second official titles, ten of the third, seven of the fourth, five of the fifth, three of the sixth, two of the seventh, and one of the eighth and ninth." The tenant of the shelter is a private population, subject to the servitude of the master, and no longer liable to the state corvee [60] .
After the imperial edict on the implementation of household modulation was issued, it was subjected to rich families An aristocratic family for generations The boycott. They either hid their fields, or opposed the peasants' possession of the land.
Although Sima Yan Household mode However, to a certain extent, this system has used administrative means to relocate a large number of floating and idle population to land for production, which has played a positive role in stabilizing social order and promoting the recovery and development of social economy.
Sima Yan paid great attention to reclaiming wasteland and building water conservancy. As in Jigun After more than five thousand hectares of land were cleared, the grain in the county soon became rich and old Slope canal And the new Kaibei canal, for irrigation and transportation have played a very important role.
Due to the decades of war, the Central Plains economy suffered extremely heavy damage, and the population was also greatly reduced. The population of Wen County, Hanoi County, the hometown of Emperor Wu of Jin, was only a few tens of times that of the original. To this end, Emperor Wudi decided to take some measures to increase the population of the Central Plains. He ordered that the 17-year-old girl must be married, otherwise the government will find her husband's family. After the destruction of Shu, the Shu people were recruited to the Central Plains, and the callers were provided with food rations by the state for two years and exempted from corvee service for 20 years. After the destruction of Wu, it was also stipulated that the state of Wu would exempt officials from corvee for 10 years and laborers and civilians from corvee for 20 years.
In 268, Emperor Wudi of Jin also established a" Normal granary " [61] In good years, sell cloth and buy grain at appropriate prices; In lean years, food is sold at appropriate prices to stabilize food prices and maintain people's normal life. Emperor Wudi of Jin repeatedly ordered county officials to "province, taxed the book", crack down on speculation and hoarding [62] .
In the first year of Taikang (280), the country had a total population of 16,163,863 people, with 2,459,840 households and 6.57 people per household. [63] According to the Annals of Geography, there were more than 2.6 million households after the unification of Taikang [64] This is the statistical result of Taikang two years (281 years). [3] In the third year of Taikang (282), the national population reached 3.77 million, an increase of more than 1.3 million households compared with the first year of Taikang [65] There appeared" Taikang Prosperity "scene. The rapid growth of the statistical population is related to the relatively peaceful situation during the reign of Sima Yan and the active measures taken by Sima Yan to restore the economy, as well as the policy adjustment of abolishing the rural settlement and making the former non-household population become households. [3]
  • King and minister Saifu
The royal family and nobles of the Western Jin Dynasty had a prosperous economic foundation, and the political stability and unity helped them accumulate a lot of wealth, so they indulged in luxury and luxurious life. Sima Yan led as an example of extravagance and extravagance, "The Book of Jin · Empress Biography" said: "(Sima Yan) many favored, after the peace of Wu, the restoration of Wu king Sun Hao palace thousands of people, since bench There are almost ten thousand people, but there are many who dote on them, so I don't know what is right, and I often ride in a sheep cart and indulge in what I do, until I have a feast and sleep." [66] Your highness also follow the competition rich, minister He ever eat every day with ten thousand money, but also "nowhere to chopsticks", his son He Shao It's a lot less common. It costs twenty thousand a day. [67] Wang Kai He was the maternal uncle of Emperor Wudi and was the richest man at that time Shi Chong Show off your wealth and compete for it. In order to maintain this luxurious and corrupt life, it is inevitable to intensify the accumulation, at that time, someone said: "the cost of luxury, more than natural disasters." It can be seen that the harm is great.

Character review

Sima Yan
Sima Yan reigned for more than 20 years. He has made outstanding contributions to the development of economy and culture. However, under the influence of The Times, he basically followed the political system since the Han Dynasty The system of enfeoffment , seriously weakened centralization The consolidation of... Coupled with his old life of luxury and corruption, public sale of officials, nearly ten thousand concubines in the palace, upper and lower effect, officials at all levels fight rich, the wind of luxury prevailed, accelerated The Western Jin Dynasty (536-597) The fall of the dynasty. Soon after the death of Emperor Wudi of Jin, the Western Jin Dynasty took place. The Rebellion of the Eight Kings This war lasted for 16 years, coupled with continuous natural disasters and epidemics, the vast number of working people began to die or be displaced in large numbers, and the prosperity of "Taikang" soon lost its former glory.
In the early stage of frugality, humbly accepting advice, employing talents, carried out a series of reforms, and in the later stage, it was keen on ease and pleasure, resulting in immorality, and Saifu. Before the light and after the dark is the most fair evaluation of Emperor Wudi of Jin.
After Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty, on the one hand, he continued to implement the state policy of peace, on the other hand, he took a rest and carried out the "Taishi Law" of benevolence and justice to protect the people and expand production. He issued an edict for release throughout the country Slaves and maidservants And organized to replace soldiers and military tun, enhanced the national strength. in Cao Wei On the basis of extravagance and corruption, A surname After controlling the corruption in the army, Emperor Wudi demanded that all officials be honest and adopted the imperial books Hu Wei Call for strict control of the recommendations of the three quality officers. Emperor Wudi advocated frugality, and history said: "After the extravagance of the Wei family, the people thought of the legacy of the past", advocated humility and frugality, and his honesty was also included Emperor Taizong of Tang For the approval of ancient statesmen. In his letter to the King of Wu, Lu Yun also mentioned that Emperor Wudi of Jin had not built any more palaces in the twenty-six years since he took the throne, and had repeatedly issued an edict strictly prohibiting extravagance 晋惠帝 The spread of corruption in the period. Emperor Wudi was kind to the people, and after the unification of the country, he inherited it Sima Zhao Preferential treatment The Shu Kingdom The policy of the king and the subjects of the people also favored the king and the subjects of the Wu State, and proposed to exempt the people of Jiangdong from twenty years of labor, which was supported by the people. Sima's only five family members were able to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had an important relationship with Jiangdong people's gratitude to Emperor Wudi. Emperor Taizong of Tang Said he: "The system of extravagance and vulgarity to become frugal, stop pouring wind and anti simple." In the past, it was a misunderstanding to say that he was arrogant and extravagant to sell officials, Liu Yi only said that his minister sold officials, although Emperor Wu of Jin in his later years had the shortcomings of being powerful and relatives, but it was not to the degree of decay, and could not take very individual phenomena as the atmosphere. Lu Yun said that Jin Hui Emperor edict the world "although strict edict repeatedly declared, and the luxury and custom." Emperor Wudi of Jin implemented the land occupation system after unification, allowing people to occupy 100 mu of land, which was not available at that time Land annexation There is peace in the country Taikang flourishing age The scene, the people have "the world infinite people" proverb. The horseman always serves Zou Zhan It is said that "the world talks about his Majesty compared to Emperor Wen of Han", and Liu Song also said in the letter that the people compared Emperor Wudi of Jin to Emperor Wen of Han, which shows that Emperor Wudi of Jin was loved by the people throughout the country. Emperor Wudi of Jin could lift it Cao Wei The imprisonment of the imperial family and the imperial family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the preferential treatment of the imperial family of the three countries is commendable, he "benevolence with thick, thrifty with sufficient use," overall played a role in historical progress, is an outstanding politician. In his later years, he has the shortcomings of indulging the powerful and enjoying entertainment, but we can also see that his essence is still simple, he cares about his uncle, I heard Wang Kai with Shi Chong Fighting for wealth, want to help Wang Kai, sent to the coral is not as good as Shi Chong home and so on, it can be seen that he has no luxury and wealth. Go out to participate in the banquet, to Wang Ji's home, see the diet, the utensils are gorgeous, feel not adapted to, did not wait for the end of the banquet left, he does not like the life of fine clothes and brocade food. He heard high There are good plums at home, let him send some, and Qiao is famous for being stingy, was Du Yue said rich, the result only sent dozens of Jin Wudi. At that time, the attitude of the powerful family toward Emperor Wudi of Jin was not like that of the feudal autocracy in the serious period, the bureaucracy without a strong family background was reverent to the imperial power. Emperor Wudi was able to restrain the powerful and prevent them from affecting the country in a complex environment, mainly by implementing benevolence and justice to the people, formulating policies to occupy the land to weaken the powerful and promote democracy and release Slaves and maidservants These are progressive policies to prevent the excessive expansion of powerful forces. Some policies also have negative effects, such as allowing the daughters of officials over 2,000 stone in prefectures and counties to be selected into the palace, which is also to restrict marriages between powerful families and strengthen the dignity of the royal status. In the specific implementation, Emperor Wudi of Jin also let himself Empress Yang Responsible, not for their own sexual pleasure, even accidentally said that a woman is beautiful, Empress Yang refuted also did not insist, Empress Yang selection of beautiful do not choose. Although this policy was excessive, it did not harm the common people, but only affected the powerful, and the measures they took were: "The famous women of the prosperous ethnic group were mostly corrupted by their clothes and appearance to avoid them."

Yuan sea when in addition and not in addition, the soldier disturbes the summer; Huidi can be discarded but not discarded, and eventually topple Hongji. The virtue of a husband is light, the merit of saving the world is heavy, the forsake of a son is small, and the peace of the country is great. In the case of the third and into the industry, the continuation of the two iniquity to the loss, the so-called light virtue and heavy work, afraid of small tolerance and forget the big filial piety.
