The matter of the queen's application for Princess Yuzhang was not announced, but those magnates who took listening to the movements in the palace as their priority already knew, especially the bitter masters, in the face of Princess Jiangdu's official and half-post made up for her children, no matter how angry she was, she could only pinch her nose and admit it. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|

It is undoubtedly a big joke to want the heavenly family to be equal to the courtiers, and it is rare for the royal family to make such a gesture of compensation. No matter how unwilling you are, you can bear to live under the hands of others, can you bear a point or two? What's more, for many second- and third-rate nobles, sacrificing a few acres of land in exchange for the future of their children is a good deal.

Qin Wan didn't pay much attention to what these people were thinking in their hearts, she was thinking about the matter of the family with Wei Tuo, Pei Xi and others.

The Juntian system is the state system of this dynasty, and when the country was opened in the past year, when the land was divided, a lot of land was also reserved. But now the prosperous era is more than a jiazi, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are very luxuriant, and it is no longer the desolate scene of the old wars, thousands of miles of barrenness, and no people. Even if there is no forcible annexation of land by the big families, there are also wealthy families who buy houses and land for their children and grandchildren after they are prosperous.

In this way, it is not common for the land to be divided enough.

"It's just that the land in the Central Plains is not enough, and there are a lot of barren fields in the four realms, but it's not good to drive the displaced people to it rashly." Wei Tuo said slowly, "There are many displaced people from Liangzhou, Youzhou and other places, and they don't want to go back. ”

Qin Wan's brows tightened, and he was a little puzzled: "Youzhou is often harassed by the Hu people, I know it, except for the fierce customs of the people, there is not much wrong with Liangzhou." Could it be that he dislikes the lack of water in Liangzhou and the wind and sand are too big, so he refuses to go back? "If this is the case, it is very likely that although most of the acres of land in Liangzhou are classified as middle and lower, and they pay little taxes, but cultivating in that kind of place is itself a matter of relying on heaven to appreciate face.

Wei Tuo knew about political affairs, so he said: "It's not like that, it's really because the Han people are in Liangzhou, and they can't get by." ”

Pei Xi restrained his contemptuous look, and Qin Wan also became solemn: "How can you say this?" "Liangzhou, especially Zhangye County, is a transportation hub and a strategic location, since Huo Qubing broke the Huns, this has become the rule of the Celestial Empire. Although the coveted Hu people have been flocked one after another, and the rebellion of the Hu people has not stopped, there are also many famous generals, such as Ma Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang, Yuan and other generals of the previous dynasty, who crushed them to death. When the current dynasty was established, Great Xia had always attached great importance to Liangzhou, how could it fall to the point that the Han people could not survive?

"The minister transferred out the household registration of Liangzhou and found that here in Liangzhou, the number of Hu and Han is similar." Wei Tuo said, "Although the two races often intermarry, in the end, the difference between races is more important. ”

Qin Wan bowed his head lightly: "It is reasonable." "They all look different, let alone have different cultures, and it's hard to get along. Even if this move is to mix sand and divide the Hu people, but there have been so many Hu rebellions in Liangzhou, the imperial court also knows in their hearts, and they will not really treat them as stable and obedient people.

Wei Tuo knew Qin Wan's temperament, and he did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "It is precisely because the Hu people like to provoke and make trouble, and there are many rebellions, that the magistrates of Liangzhou have always been biased when dealing with such things. ”

The so-called bias, which side it is, the people present will naturally not be mistaken. Therefore, Pei Xi sighed and said disdainfully: "The official of the imperial court is nothing more than that." ”

If the officials of Liangzhou want to keep their black hats, they can't make a big mess under their rule, even if this is the case, they naturally have to coax the Hu people, even if they are the ones who provoke trouble? The Hu people are unruly, the Han people are safe and self-serving, who is more beneficial to themselves if they are wronged, so do you still need to think about it?

"How can it be!" Qin Wan said angrily, "The lessons of the previous dynasty that treated the Hu people preferentially, haven't they eaten enough?" Liangzhou is the territory of my Great Xia, how can the Han people not be able to live, and the Hu people are at ease? ”

Hu people are Hu people, no matter how good you are to them, many Hu people will not forget the difference between Hu and Han in their hearts, but take these good things for granted. If the treatment is poor, you will have to provoke and make trouble, and if the treatment is good, you will often not be productive, like a scoundrel in various places, who bully the people and collect protection money for a living.

It is not without Hu people who keep to themselves, but these people are easy to conform to the herd, once the Hu people get into trouble, they think about it, as Hu people, they may not be able to escape punishment after the court investigates them, and they will rebel; The second is that the doctrines they believe in are completely different, and many of the rituals and customs of the Hu people are derived from doctrines, and even the writing is created by religious leaders with high status. In this way, don't blame Hu Hanjing for being clear.

If the Hu people establish a court, want to last a long time, learn Han customs, advocate Sinicization, and marry with the Han people, the estrangement between the two ethnic groups may be eliminated in a few hundred years, but it must be built on the blood and tears of countless Han people. Nowadays, the land of Zhengshuo in the Central Plains has been firmly controlled by the Han people, and the Han people have a strong sense of superiority over the Hu people, and the imperial court can allow the Hu people to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Son of Heaven, and agree to the Hu people to come to the Central Plains to do business or even study, but they do not want to see officials do such things for their own black yarn hats.

Pei Xi also had a fire in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said: "I heard that the people of Liangzhou are fierce, and there are many bandits and horse thieves. "Nominally, it's a bandit, but in fact, hmph, the murderer in the world is no more than soldiers, and the gangsters in the market still dare to make trouble in front of the soldiers? It's not too much to kill.

Qin Wan just happened to lack private soldiers in his hands, so it was time to practice.

There are also a lot of Baiyue people in the south, Jiang Luo is in charge, although it is unusual to make a small fight every three or five times, isn't it still obedient in major matters? Why do the three major gauntlets have to be heavily armed, and even act cheaply? In order to do so, Diao Min did not accept the trouble and fought directly, without first summoning the news to the imperial court, and only sending troops with permission. If you really let those civil servants in the court quarrel with a result, the daylily will be cold.

It is precisely because of this that the candidates for the three major protectors need to be cautious, once they collude with the powerful and powerful, only care about accumulating money, oppressing the local mountain people, or for the sake of military merits, from time to time to war, it is easy to have a big accident.

Wei Tuo glanced at Pei Xi and said lightly: "The matter of Liangzhou has been going on for a long time, and it is not easy to deal with it rashly, but it is a homeless person, if there is no place to resettle, I am afraid that it will cause great changes." ”

Why is it difficult to deal with things in Liangzhou? First, they are afraid of causing a change in the people, which is not conducive to the rule, and the reputation will not be much better; The second is, how many of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have served in Liangzhou? Do these people have relatives and friends, mentors and disciples, and clan in-laws? Once these officials are held accountable, half of the court will be shaken. Because of this, even if you grit your teeth at them, you can't just go to jail them in one fell swoop.

Qin Wan knew that he was in a hurry to do this, so he wrote it down before he said: "Yuan Qi, Xu Zhi, you said that if these displaced people are moved to Jiangnan, will they be willing?" ”

"Whether they like it or not, it's not for them to decide." Pei Xi said categorically, "Since they have left their hometowns, as long as they have food and clothing, they can't decide where to go." ”

Wei Tuo understood Qin Wan's thoughts, so many displaced people are naturally the laborers who dig the canal, but he also has to remind him: "Although Jiangnan is a land of ointment, forced labor is like a tiger. ”

Qin Wan pondered for a moment before he said: "It's not forced labor, but the imperial court's work for relief." ”

Pei Xi heard this, and shook his head decisively: "You don't have to trust these officials too much, they dare to swallow even the money and food for disaster relief, what else can't they do?" You want to use work for relief, and your mind is good, but how much of such a large sum of money and food will really go to the hands of the people? When the time comes, it is not good, it is obviously a kind act, but because of these stupid beetles mixed in with the officialdom, there will be public resentment, which is not good. ”

Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh.

Speaking of which, it still depends on the people, sometimes she really wants to kill these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the people who are replaced may not be honest and clean. It is said that the official word has two mouths, and the sentence is not good, what is the purpose of ten years of hard work? Isn't it for power and profit? Relying on the salaries of the imperial court alone, they can't afford to support the pomp and circumstance of officials at all, who doesn't count this?

She took a deep breath and said, "Since this is the case, let's think about the charter again, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but because of the water, the trade is not developed. If the Jiangnan Canal can be dug so that grain can be transported, and shipping routes and trade can be unimpeded, it will undoubtedly be a good thing that will be left behind for thousands of years. Compared with this matter, the southeast transportation route should be put behind, and the harvest of Chang'an and the grain storage of Qinchuan can still hold on. ”

Speaking of which, she still wants to drive these displaced people to Jiangnan and open up this fertile land.

"In the past, Yan Taizu forced the people to go to the south of the Yangtze River to pioneer the wilderness, and it was not a big problem." Pei Xi glanced at Qin Wan with a little meaning, "You can follow suit." ”

Of course, the premise is that you have to have that much prestige, especially among the military.

Qin Wan understood what he meant, so she pondered for a long time, and said: "Let's see if there is a mulberry land in the south of the Yangtze River, and there can also be wasteland, so that they can open it up." Displaced people who are resettled in the area do not have to pay taxes for five years, and if there are three middle-aged men in the family to dig the canal, one of them is required. In return, not paying taxes for ten years? If within ten years, the family will nourish people, and the man will give a piece of meat and the woman a pot of wine? ”

"It's just a matter of leaving one person to work at home, or putting the conditions on eight years." Pei Xi corrected, "Don't be too generous, you need to know that there are many displaced people, and there are also many hidden households in the south of the Yangtze River." It's just that the Yangtze River is difficult to cross, and many people from the north can't cross the river, so the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is better than that in Luoyang and other places. If the conditions are generous, it will be difficult to do it in the future. You must not forget that the Hu people will not let go of such a good opportunity, once the war starts, the court will not have enough money and food, and then levy taxes, and the people's resentment will boil. ”

Qin Wan frowned, looked at Wei Tuo, Wei Tuo calculated the number of hidden households in Hongnong, and then thought about the surrounding counties, and lightly bowed his head: "There are many hidden households, so you should take precautions." ”
