The winter of last year came slowly and shortly, just after the first month of the fourth year of Zhide, inside and outside Chang'an, the mountains and palaces have not seen a trace of snow, just one month, the expected waves did not appear, Zheng Xianli's western expeditionary army successfully recovered Lingwu, the remnants of the Tibetan army were defeated and scattered, and the main force of the army entered Hexi safely along an inaccessible road. Shi Siming of Hebei did not attack Hedong on a large scale, except for feints of varying intensity, there was no attack that could cause substantial damage to the Shenwu army.

A large number of materials stranded in Jiangling were also successfully transported to Guanzhong after Luoyang's recovery, because Wei Jiansu inspected the riverbank as a Xuanfu envoy, the Jiedu envoys in Jiangnan also became unprecedentedly submissive, and the intercepted rents were transported to Luoyang through the Grand Canal.

The good news doesn't stop there, after nearly three months of flashing and moving, the fifth Qi finally blocked the huge hole in the household, although there is still a shortage of money in the treasury, but it has passed the dilemma of having no money available.

In the first year of Zhide to the third year of the war period, there are a large number of Central Plains refugees through Tongguan into Guanzhong, has been requisitioned to repair the Chang'an city defense, but after the end of the construction period, hundreds of thousands of people to stay and become a problem, the fifth Qi means according to the original place of repatriation, after the repatriation of the imperial court to give an appropriate amount of settling-in allowance, in order to resume production as soon as possible.

But this suggestion was vetoed by Qin Jin, if the repatriation of the hometown is such a thing, it is not enough if thousands of people arrive, such a scale of hundreds of thousands of people, once it is not handled properly, it is likely to become bandits on the way back to their hometown. After several years of war, whether it is Guanzhong or the Central Plains east of Tongguan, the poison of the war has been ten rooms and nine empty, and the original social structure and clan have long been smashed to pieces, and these people will be repatriated to their hometowns, but for social stability, it has become an act of carving a boat and seeking a sword.

Of course, the reason for the Fifth Qi is also very strong, the people of the time have a very strong local complex, and they all want to return to their hometowns after the war is over, and if they are left elsewhere, they may invite unexpected chaos and accidents.

"In addition, the Central Plains was devastated by war at the beginning and the population withered, and it was precisely when it was necessary to replenish the population, and although these 500,000 people were a drop in the bucket, they could always solve some local population problems. ”

Qin Jin has already read the registers of these displaced people, most of them are distributed in dozens of counties east of Tongguan, and there are also many people who are hundreds of thousands of miles apart, such a vast resistance, even if hundreds of thousands of people scatter it, they can't even see a splash.

Therefore, Qin Jin's plan was to concentrate and resettle this group of people in order to enrich the population of Guanzhong. After Guanzhong experienced two catastrophes of Sun Xiaozhe breaking through the pass and the Tubo people entering the Kou, the population loss was also extremely serious, and the 500,000 people were put east of Tongguan was nothing, but it was obviously a large number on the Guanzhong Plain.

"The strategy of the imperial court in the past is real and empty, which has become one of the factors of today's rebellion to some extent, and this situation must be changed in the future, or it is necessary to achieve a certain balance between the inside and outside, so Guanzhong must not only replenish the population lost in the war, but also continue to increase the population and reclaim wasteland. ”

When Qin Jin was too punctual in Fengyi County, he had carefully surveyed the land in Guanzhong, and it was not that the production had reached the limit. More reason is the change of population structure in Guanzhong, the population inside and outside Chang'an City is nearly one million, but less than one-fifth is engaged in agricultural production, in addition, a large number of cultivated land abandonment, degradation is also an important reason, most of the good family is not engaged in production, the folk atmosphere is impetuous, in the vain prosperity can be seen everywhere this kind of ungrounded people.

The Tang Dynasty government turned a deaf ear to this increasingly vain and corrupt atmosphere, and the upper strata were extravagant, while the middle and lower strata were upward and downward, and in the long run, the grain output in Guanzhong decreased year by year, which became one of the small problems of many problems. As a result, for many years, Li Longji, as the Son of Heaven, had to take the Manchu civil and military officials and their families to Luoyang to eat.

Therefore, the key to increasing the grain output in Guanzhong is not to rectify the land, but to control the people's customs, and how to make the people in Guanzhong re-grounded is a top priority.

Fifth Qi originally thought that Qin Jin was afraid that the dismissal of 500,000 people would bring public security problems, but he never expected that Qin Jin's focus had already gone far ahead of him.

However, the governance of the land in Guanzhong is a systematic and complex problem, as far as he knows, even if the land in Guanzhong is abandoned, it is also the land of the owner, most of them are the lords and nobles of the court, even in the Tianbao period, no one dares to move easily.

In this era, land is the greatest wealth, and whoever dares to touch other people's land is no different from digging people's ancestral graves, and killing people's parents, will inevitably attract crazy opposition.

If he is not careful, in order to calm the anger of the people and stabilize the situation, the Son of Heaven will inevitably pull out the officials who will be the target of the public as scapegoats.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi's back felt a chill, he was not like taking this thankless errand and governing industry and commerce, offending only the people of the market, but governing the land was to go against the lords and nobles in the entire Chang'an City for hundreds of years, and one might end up in ruin.

Therefore, the ostensible attitude of the Fifth Qi is that it is not impressed with the governance of the land in Guanzhong.

"The land problem in Guanzhong has existed since the Kaiyuan period, and if the doctor wants to rectify it, I am afraid that it will not be possible to succeed overnight, and the subordinates feel that this matter must be discussed in the long run!"

Qin Jin Dao:

"I can't wait, we have to see results in three or five years, I know what you're worried about, aren't they just those silverfish who don't have to worry about eating and drinking? Don't worry, if they dare to oppose ......"

Although the latter words were not spoken, a few sneers said everything, and Fifth Qi couldn't help but shudder again, he immediately realized that Qin Jin had already moved his murderous intent. The current Chang'an City is no longer the Chang'an City of a year ago, and all the lords and nobles have lost the capital they used to rely on. After two large-scale reshuffles, the degree of its intertwining has long been much less than before.

Fifth Qi silently turned his mind a few times in his heart, and then asked tentatively:

"The crux of the land in Guanzhong is concentration, and the doctor intends to break it up and redistribute it?"

Qin Jin Dao:

"Not only is it scattered, but it must also be redistributed, and the fifth minister is right......

Speaking of this, Qin Jin paused and softened his tone again.

"Scattering should also pay attention to a strategy, the household can pay for redemption, set a price acceptable to both parties, and also find a few typical ones to vigorously promote in the court, enthusiastic, and the children of the shade can also be given priority......"

All in all, Qin Jin's strategy is to have a stick in one hand and mutton in the other, and give the mutton when he sees it, and serve those who dare to resist with a stick. Compared with the simple and rough handling of those who are superiors in the past, this way of being hard with one hand and soft with the other is more flexible. Fifth Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly, Qin Jin was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his experience as a county lieutenant in Xin'an County was less than ten years old, so it was rare to be able to think so carefully about many things.

Qin Jin looked at Fifth Qi again.

"When I go back today, the fifth prime minister will sort out the land register in Guanzhong, list the people who own more land, prioritize them, and then map them one by one!"

Fifth Qi got a new errand, and the original trembling psychological state disappeared because of Qin Jin's promise, although he had been on an errand under Qin Jin for less than a year, but after experiencing all major initiatives, he felt that it was very pleasant to do errands under this kind of person.

For example, the conflict with Wei Jiansu, Fifth Qi had some regrets, and after being reminded by some people, he found out that Qin Jin and Wei Jiansu's daughter had an unclear relationship. As a result, after he did an in-depth understanding, he was shocked into a cold sweat, Qin Jin did a lot of things for Wei Jiansu's daughter in secret, which shows his intentions.

However, Qin Jin did not pull a shelf between them because of Wei Wei's factors, and Wei Jiansu still went to Jiangnan as a Xuanfu envoy. If Qin Jin Danfan was a little soft-hearted and favored Wei Jiansu, then his and Xia Yuanji's prestige in the political hall and even the entire government and opposition would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after learning that Qin Jin and the Wei family were inextricably linked, Fifth Qi felt that Qin Jin was a person who knew the difference between public and private affairs very clearly, and would not ignore the vital interests of specific officials because of the distance and proximity of the relationship.

After sitting in the government hall for a while, Fifth Qi immediately called the relevant officials of the household department and began to sort out the land in Guanzhong. The first step in tidying up the land is to measure the land according to the atlas, how much of it is still cultivated and how much of it has been abandoned.

When these lands are disposed of, those that are still cultivated will be treated in one way, and those that have been abandoned will be disposed of in another.

Measuring land is not an easy task, and it can take months or even months, and it may be hindered by some people with a sensitive sense of smell. However, Fifth Qi is also a determined person, as long as he makes up his mind, he will never give up easily unless he achieves his goal.

For this reason, the fifth Qi also made great efforts and personally rushed to the scene of Qingzhang land with a group of cronies, which was not only to show the determination of the political affairs hall, but also to warn the specific officials who were in charge of errands not to abuse their power for personal gain, otherwise once they were found out, they would be severely punished.

In fact, at the beginning of the Qingzhang land, the Fifth Qi had already made full efforts and was ready to catch a typical example, otherwise these specific officials would never know the sharpness of the knife and axe used by the executioner!

Almost every day, the fifth Qi will go to the specific Qingzhang site to investigate in his busy schedule, and on this day he suddenly found that from the official road in the east, a team of people and horses rushed over, and the dust was raised......
