Chapter 0536 - Population Problems

The words "everyone needs to work together" is probably Zhuge Old Demon secretly reminding himself that he must focus on national affairs and work together.

Let's work together, Feng Yong doesn't have any opinions.

If you want to live a small life, you have to let Zhuge Old Demon get better first.

If he gets better, the big man will get better, and if the big man gets better, he can get better.

It was Jiang Wan, who saw Feng Yong's face full of indifference, but he was slightly stunned, and he didn't know if this prince really didn't know the meaning of this, or pretended not to know.

It's just that this is a matter of the prime minister and the prince, and Jiang Wan is not good at talking too much.

"Junhou, Wan is here this time, in fact, there is one more thing."

"And?" Feng Yong almost shouted, "It's over? ”

The wool is not like this, the wool of the pasture is really like this, and the sheep will be turned bald by you!

Jiang Wan also seemed to know that his request was a bit much, and his face was a little embarrassed: "The prince knows that a few days ago, there were chaotic people in Guanghan County roaring among the mountains and forests, and even the military materials of the Northern Expedition transported by the prime minister to Hanzhong were plundered. ”

There are people in Guanghan County, Feng Yong naturally knows about it, because there has been news from within the Xinghan Society, and the reason why the price of grain in Jincheng has suddenly risen sharply is that there are people in Guanghan County.

Jincheng belongs to Shu County, which is equivalent to the northern capital of later generations, and Guanghan County is in the north of Shu County, which is equivalent to Hebei in later generations.

There was turmoil in Guanghan County, which directly affected the stability of the people in Jincheng, and what followed was a sudden surge in food prices.

A few days ago, Feng Yong jumped to his feet and scolded for a while, not chaotic in the morning and not chaotic in the evening, but when the Xinghan Club bought a large amount of grain, he didn't know how much money he had to put in more.

At that time, Feng Yong reacted that the civil unrest in Guanghan County was not only a protest by the Shuzhong family to the imperial court, but they even took the opportunity to raise the price of grain in Jincheng and put blood from themselves.

Why didn't this make a certain turtle jump like thunder, and I didn't remember that I had pit people several times before.

This time, at most, they got back a little interest.

Now that Feng Yong heard Jiang Wan take the initiative to mention this, he asked curiously, "How many hidden people have been found by the imperial court, and it is worth such a big deal from those families?" ”

"So far, more than 300,000 have been found." Jiang Wan's expression was solemn, "Anyone can guess that the family has hidden a lot of people, but I didn't expect there to be so many." ”

"Shhh Feng Yong inhaled as if he had a toothache, "Only 300,000? ”

"Just?" Jiang Wan was really stunned this time, "300,000 is already a lot, do you know how many people are registered in the Han Dynasty before this?" ”

"How much?"

"When the first emperor ascended to the great treasure, he had checked the books in the treasury, and there were 200,000 or 900,000 households. However, in recent years, there have been many more people in the counties of Hanzhong and Shuzhong, with a total of 220,000 households and one million people. ”

"Now that the imperial treasury is abundant, this can reorganize the acres of people, but I didn't expect it to be 300,000 more. Prince, this is 300,000 people, not 30,000, nearly 30% more than before. ”

Jiang Wan said with a little excitement, "Among them, the prince is really a great contribution!" If it weren't for ......"

Can you speak? Can't speak!

If you say that, in the ears of people who don't know what's going on, you'll be mistaken for the fact that it took me three years to get 300,000 people!

So, why have money, because with money you can do whatever you want.

Otherwise, according to the previous Zhuge old demon's search strength, how can he have the capital to make efforts to check the population?

Just taking care of the family's backlash is enough for the imperial court to compromise.

If it is like now, if it is reversed, it will be reversed, and direct suppression is, anyway, there is money and food in hand.

Feng Yong pursed his lips and waved his hand absently, interrupting Jiang Wan's words, "What's this?" The counties in the south and central have not been checked, but if they do, wouldn't it be more? ”

Zhuge Old Demon's Northern Expedition is a topic that will be talked about and prosperous for a long time.

Because in the 1,800 years since then, there has been no regime that has taken the initiative to attack the north in Shuzhong, and it has been able to fight so well.

And this is related to the economic and population comparison between Shu and Wei: at that time, Shu had about one million registered population, while Wei had about 4.5 million.

Moreover, Cao Wei also occupied the most elite area in the world, while Shu was a remote place at that time.

So this is the reason why later generations respect Zhuge Old Demon.

However, as far as the population issue is concerned, there is a point of contention, that is, after the Jin unified the whole country, they began to conduct a comprehensive inventory, and the whole country suddenly had a population of 25 million.

This is enough to explain the large number of people who have gone into hiding because of the war.

Therefore, later scholars deduced that the real population of Shu at that time was 4 million, and Wei had 13 million, based on the statistics of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Feng Yong felt that this was closer to the real situation.

And now that the imperial court has counted the population, it has only found 300,000?

That's it, it also made Jiang Wan excited, according to this, it is estimated that Zhuge Old Demon is also overjoyed.

After all, there are nearly 30% more people, and according to the ratio of soldiers to civilians of 1:10, 30,000 more people can be recruited.

It's a pity that for Feng Yong, it is tasteless and meaningless: what about the remaining more than two million?

Lao Tzu worked so hard to improve productivity, and was even willing to share the profits for the family to be wiped out together, you are so dead and hiding the population, worthy of me?

It's just that if the 300,000 hidden population is cleared, there will be a turmoil, and even take the opportunity to raise the price of food, so how much more blood did Lao Tzu release? Nima's is such a glutton!

Thinking of this, Feng Yong felt blood in his heart: a lot of small money was taken out like this!

"Junhou, Nanzhong...... At this time, there is no way to check the people, after all, the Yi people of the various tribes in Nanzhong can only be regarded as owned by the barbarian king and Yi Shuai, and it is not something that the Han can control. ”

Jiang Wan was very excited to talk about this, but when he saw Feng Yong's unsatisfactory appearance, he was shocked at the moment, looking at the appearance of the prince, it seemed that there were too few people who had been investigated?

"What about Shudi and Hanzhong, the prime minister plans to stop here, and he doesn't plan to investigate any more?

Feng Yong asked unwillingly.

"The civil unrest in Guanghan County has already shown that it is not appropriate for the imperial court to investigate further." Jiang Wan explained, "After all, the top priority is to prepare for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, and the prime minister also needs stability in Shuzhong." ”

"The Limitations of the Feudal Landlord Class ......"

Feng Yong muttered something that Jiang Wan didn't understand, and then said to Jiang Wan, "Yue Yan people, I have also checked these days, and there are about 150,000 people. ”

"The specific data is in the main book of Yue. When Jiang joined the army and returned to Jincheng, he could ask him for a book. ”

"How much?!" Jiang Wan was unaware of this, and exclaimed, "Ten ...... One hundred and fifty thousand? ”

"Yes, 150,000, 400,000 two hundred years ago."

Feng Yong looked at Jiang Wan's expression and said disdainfully.

"This time and that time, this ...... How can this compare? Jiang Wan stammered a little and said, "Junhou, is this matter serious?" This kind of thing, no joke. ”

"This number of registered people refers to the people who can pay taxes, not those tribes, slave laborers, etc., let alone those people who cannot be called by the imperial court."

"I know, I'm not a coward!" Feng Yong glanced at Jiang Wan angrily, "I've been in Nanxiang for so long. According to the old rules, people such as horse farms are helped to pay taxes and levy forced labor by the horse farm. ”

"As for those who are willing to farm, they will be taxed according to ten taxes, and not a penny will be less."

In ancient times, in addition to paying a land tax, you also had to pay a poll tax, and at the same time, you had to serve as a conscription from time to time.

Pastures and textile workshops were a novelty, so Feng Yong set a precedent for those powerful and wealthy families who were desperately sucking blood: uniformly helping workers pay taxes.

So that's why so many people have tried their best to squeeze into the Nanxiang ranch and workshop.

Because as long as you become a regular employee in it, as long as you work with peace of mind, not only can you not worry about food and clothing, but also have someone to take care of birth, old age, sickness and death.

Even the government's forced labor will be dealt with by the ranch workshop, which has a special engineering team, as well as a special team of nurses.

Feng Yong did this, not only made the employees grateful to Dade, but also expressed his satisfaction: after all, the professionalism of the engineering team and the nursing team is not comparable to those people who were temporarily transferred.

As for the cultivated ones, it is simpler.

In these years, there were few people on the land, so as long as enough arable land was given, coupled with the quyuan plough suitable for small households, and advanced farming technology, Feng Yong could even rent ploughing cattle from the pasture for them to cultivate.

In this case, the life of a yeoman farmer may not be considered rich, but it is definitely enough.

So damn the great families who endlessly annex land!

The demise of feudal society in the past dynasties was, in the final analysis, a land issue.

At present, the most important thing is to do everything possible to strengthen the strength of the Han Dynasty, not to carry out an agrarian revolution.

The military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties has also supported the prosperity of nearly a hundred years.

For Feng Yong, a hundred years is enough.

The problem after a hundred years can be solved by expansion, because the world is so big, why don't you go and see it?

Of course, it can also be solved by continuing to develop the productive forces and other means, and these are all problems to be considered in the future.

The main issue at present is the issue of reunification.

In order to achieve reunification, it is necessary to have sufficient military resources and economic strength.

Feng Yong is confident in economic strength.

Enough soldiers are enough.

That's why he heard that Zhuge Lao Demon got 300,000 people from the Shuzhong family, so he was satisfied to stop it, and felt that it was really a toothache - the limitations of Nima's feudal landlord class!

"Junhou, Junhou is really able to govern the army immediately, and he can rule the people on the horse, which is really a great talent!"

Jiang Wan was affirmed by Feng Yong, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he reached out again at the moment to hold Feng Yong's hand.

Feng Yong was so frightened that he took a few steps back without a trace, coughed, and pretended to pull the hanger with the grinding disc hanging on it, as if to see if the knot was strong, and did not let Jiang Wan hold his hand again.

At the same time, his brain was turning sharply, and his forehead was sweating slightly, "Cough, Jiang joined the army, what about the civil unrest, what about the civil unrest just now!" ”

When Jiang Wan heard Feng Yong mention this, he remembered the topic he said at the beginning, and he was stunned at the moment.

I was originally going to bring up the topic of civil unrest, how could I unconsciously deviate for so long?

Thinking about it again, isn't it Feng Junhou who led the way?

When he looked at Feng Yong again, his face became a little strange: This clever remark made Feng Langjun really live up to his reputation.

After such a mistake, Jiang Wan hurriedly said again, "Yes, yes, the civil unrest, Wan almost forgot." ”

At the moment, he forgot that he was going to step forward to shake Feng Yong's hand.

"That's the case, didn't the prince say a few days ago that the Yue Han Yi is uneven? Although the rebellious people of Guanghan County violated the laws of the imperial court, they were instigated by others after all. ”

"The prime minister means that they will be moved to Yueshan, firstly, to show punishment, and secondly, to fill in Yueshan, what does the prince think?"

"Immigrant Shibian?"

When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately understood.

"Exactly."

"How many people are there who dare to be affectionate?"

As soon as Feng Yong heard this, Xindao finally heard a good news.

There are many ways to migrate, and immigration is one of them, and the particularity of this is that it is organized by the government.

The origin can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and the Chu State in the early Warring States period had migrated nobles to the border to open up wasteland, develop the border economy, and strengthen national defense.

In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the handwriting was the largest, and more than 70 million people immigrated to the north at one time.

Strictly speaking, in recent years, Dahan has also had several sporadic official immigrants to Hanzhong.

As for the dark activities of the militias...... That's called the gore of capital.

"Thirty thousand."

Jiang Wan stretched out three fingers, "The prime minister is afraid that Yue Xinding will rashly accept so many people, which will make the prince and marquis unable to take care of it for a while, so he asked Wan to come over and inform him that the prince should prepare as soon as possible." ”

30,000 people is a fart!

Another 100,000 people can eat it.

It's just that when he thought of the price of grain in Jincheng, Feng Yong had to grit his teeth, "It's okay, now the government of Yueshan is organizing reclamation, and I'm not afraid of too many people, I'm afraid of no one." When will these people arrive? ”

Damn, it's really a disaster, and the heart of the rich man Feng Datu once again dripped blood: Shuzhong family, let's write down this account first.

"The first batch is already on the way."

"Okay, I see."

Today's reclamation is centered on Qiongdu, along the north of Sunshui, supplemented by Suqi and Taideng counties, just these three counties are enough to toss.

Not to mention the Sunshui River Valley Plain area outside these three counties, Feng Yong has no manpower to develop it at all.

30,000 people, thrown into it, will not even make a small splash - provided that there is enough food.

After discussing with Jiang Wan, it was arranged to take him down to rest, and Feng Yong went to inspect various places non-stop, until the sun was about to set, and then he turned around and returned to the city.

Although he was taken advantage of by the family to bleed heavily, Feng Yong was still very happy about the upcoming population of 30,000.

Although there are 40,000 Han people in Yueshan, most of them are distributed in Anshang County, which is close to Qianwei County, and nearby, in places like Qiongdu, if you don't count the soldiers, Dongfeng Express workers, etc., there are few Han people at all.

These 30,000 people came over, and it was like sending charcoal in the snow.

Indoctrination and indoctrination,Indoctrination also has to have a model.,No model ghost knows how to sinicize?

Now that Jiang Wan's arrival has finally solved the biggest problem in Feng Yong's heart, he finished his day's work, and then he hummed a song and returned to the small courtyard.

"I have a little donkey and I never ride ......"

After washing his hands and feet in the courtyard, he walked into the hall, and was about to find a saliva to drink, but he never saw a person sitting quietly at the top.

This person's face was extremely handsome, but it was extremely cold, his face was expressionless, his body was as straight as a golden sword, and he just sat there quietly staring at Feng Yong.

It was getting late, and the dim sunset couldn't even shine in the room, and there was no light, the flickering light, coupled with Guan Ji's appearance, this momentum, made Feng Yong almost shout, "Ghost!" ”

"Fine ...... Thin...... Jun held a small leather whip in his hand...... Feng Tuqiu's heart was furious, and even the lyrics were so frightened that he changed them unconsciously, only to see him stammering and asking, "How is Xijun sitting here?" ”

Guan Ji, who was like a wooden man, finally had an expression on her face, and a smile bloomed, "The concubine is waiting for Ah Lang!" ”

"Oh, oh," Feng Yong patted his chest, "Xijun has a heart." ”

Guan Ji slowly stood up, walked towards Feng Yong, and his momentum became more and more pressing, "Ah Lang has won the award." ”
