Chapter 544: Merging the Prefecture and the Upper County

After doing a good job of registration, it will be much easier to organize them, after all, after registration, it is equivalent to having a grasp of the situation in every settlement of displaced people.

It is already clear how many people are in each of these settlements who are willing to obey orders and agree to the relocation, and how many of them are men, the elderly, children, young and strong, and so on. In addition, if the settlement is a large unit, and then their family or clan is a small unit, and if they are only alone, if they are young and strong, they are even an independent small unit, and the elderly or children or the elderly and weak women who are alone can be temporarily assigned to a unit according to the situation.

In this way, starting from small units, young and strong people are selected from them to form a convoy of displaced people's settlements.

This means that if there is a single young man, if there is no special reason or arrangement, all of them will be incorporated into the Wandering Guard, and the other will be in the family unit, depending on their situation, if there are two adult young men, one of them must join the Guard. If there are three people, depending on the situation, one more person can be transferred. No matter how many there are, only two adult men will be left at most, and the rest will all join the Displaced Guard.

It is necessary to do so.

The young and strong of these displaced people should be organized now, for the time being, so that they can be put in charge of the security of their settlements, and that they can help in the care of the displaced people in their settlements.

When it comes time to start the migration, these displaced guards can maintain the order of the migration of the displaced people in their own settlements, and take care of the elderly, weak, women and children in their settlements along the way.

In order to cooperate with the work, Liu Xian also scattered the one or two thousand men and horses in the original Liu Mansion caravan camp, and sent one or one people to each settlement to lead and control the homeless escort team, and at the same time, use the time before the official migration to conduct some simple military training for them, such as queue training, physical training, and so on.

As for combat training, they are not needed for the time being, but they are indeed reserve soldiers in the future. But these are things for later, so there is no need to rush for the time being.

After migrating to the local area, these displaced people's guards will not be disbanded. They will have to shoulder more tasks when the time comes. For example, collective land reclamation, construction of residential houses, and even the construction of cities in the future, etc. As for the construction of the city, Liu Xian actually had a plan in his heart, and when the time came, he would find a way to get some more prisoners of the rebels or foreign people to do labor.

The work of making the register was carried out for several days, and it was finally all registered.

Displaced people's convoys in the settlements have all been set up and have undergone simple daily training.

At the same time, the millions of catties of grain that had just been transported back to the procurement camp were also consumed like flowing water.

Liu Xian also had to decide that the migration of hundreds of thousands of displaced people around the capital of Luoyang had to be carried out immediately.

At this time, the weather has slowly warmed up, but it is still a little chilly.

During this period, the spring rainy season has not yet arrived, and if it is late, it will rain every day, which will be extremely detrimental to the migration work. Even if the rain is not too heavy, with the thin constitution of these displaced people, it is impossible to make a long journey.

The address has been chosen, and it will be in the northwestern part of the state, that is, the area around the upper county of the state, that is, the area further north of the north.

This area, strictly speaking, should belong to the middle of the entire Hetao, within the Great Wall, in the central and western regions where the Yellow River flows.

In this area, there are forests, plains, and mountains. Because of the terrain, it is difficult for the Huns or other aliens to make large-scale invasions.

In fact, people of different races can generally only enter Bingzhou from the area of Yamen Pass. Shangjun and Yamen Pass are separated by the Yellow River, and there is also a plain in Yamen Pass.

Here, there is a road leading to the Great Wall, if you want to get out of the customs, you don't need to go through the cliff gate, but the road is a little difficult to walk.

Liu Xian chose this place because he thought that in the future, his men and horses could go to the Great Wall and enter the land of Heshuo without going through the Yamen Pass.

Before Liu Xian officially moved the displaced people, he deliberately went to the palace to meet the emperor again and reported to the emperor selectively.

The emperor saw that Liu Xian could move away the hundreds of thousands of displaced people who had come to the capital so quickly, and the dragon heart was overjoyed. Liu Xian proposed by the way that the emperor should issue a holy decree to those grain merchants in Luoyang Capital, so that they could sell a batch of grain to themselves according to normal grain.

Hundreds of thousands of people have to consume a certain amount of grain every day, and Liu Xian has already asked people to purchase and transport it from other places, and in the future, there will be an endless stream of grain delivered to the resettlement sites of the displaced people. However, now that it is really difficult to deliver, I can only make some ideas in this regard.

The emperor did not hesitate this time, and immediately issued a holy decree to the grain merchants in Luoyang, ordering them to put the people of the Han Dynasty first, and not to raise the price privately, but only to sell grain to Liu Xian at the normal price of the market.

The emperor's decree, no matter what background and origin those grain merchants have, they must also listen to it, and no one dares to resist the decree.

In fact, Liu Xian held the holy decree in his hand, but he wished that they would resist the decree. The special 600 soldiers followed behind Liu Xian, patronizing their grain stores one by one, and they resisted a single order to try? Liu Xianzhen will directly drag them to the street and behead them for public display.

What is called arrogance when you are in power, Liu Xian is happy to give them a demonstration.

It's a pity that no one dared to kidnap Liu Xianhu.

In this way, Liu Xian finally purchased three or four million catties of grain in Luoyang Capital. These grains can allow Liu Xian to hold on for a while, and he can insist on getting his own people to transport the grain to the resettlement sites of displaced people in Bingzhou.

The second dragon in February raises its head!

Liu Xian officially ordered the people of each settlement to start setting off, first along the official road, to the Yellow River ferry terminal in the north of Luoyang City. Then the remaining boats crossed the Yellow River and reached the Hedong area.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people around Luoyang, they set out from their original settlements, and everyone dragged their families and carried burdens.

With so many people migrating, it stands to reason that it should be chaotic. However, under the organization and arrangement of Liu Xian's faction, the people in every homeless settlement appeared to be in order, and there was no trace of chaos.

In front, there were soldiers sent by Liu Xian to open the way, the old and weak women and children in the middle, and those homeless guards in the center to maintain order in the ranks, everything seemed to be in order.

Such a large migration operation naturally attracted the attention of countless people in the capital. Among them, there are naturally people who send off these displaced people. These homeless people have been in Luoyang for a long time, and some of them have also made some friends in the capital, even if they are not friends, some owners are good, and those who are sympathetic to these homeless people will also come to see off the homeless people they know on this day. It is hoped that when these displaced people arrive at the resettlement sites, they will be able to live a new life in the future.

The displaced people did not need to pass through Luoyang City, but went around the city outside the city and went straight to the Yellow River ferry in the north.

On this day, it was also the time when Empress He and Ma Guiren left Beijing and went to the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum to participate in the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, they will live in the palace of the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum for a period of time until the time comes.

But Liu Xian needed to go to the resettlement site for the displaced people, so he missed the appointment and did not accompany Empress He and Ma Guiren to the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum.

This is actually better, because the emperor has always been a little uneasy. secretly sent someone to keep an eye on Empress He, if Liu Xian accompanied them, especially if Liu Xian accompanied them to spend the night in the palace of the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, this would definitely not avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.

Liu Xian did not accompany them, but took hundreds of thousands of displaced people to the land of Bingzhou Shangjun. This also made the emperor dispel his worries and no longer suspect that Liu Xian was having an affair with his empress.

Liu Xian had already sent one or two hundred men and horses to the Yellow River crossing to collect ships.

After the teams of displaced people arrived at the wharf of the Yellow River one after another, they immediately arranged for the people to cross the river on boats in the order of first come, first served.

To settle these hundreds of thousands of displaced people, the emperor has already given Liu Xian the right to act cheaply, so wherever he goes, the local government can only cooperate and obey the dispatch of Liu Xian, the marquis.

The Yellow River is dangerous, and the waves are surging.

In a short period of time, Liu Xian's people collected hundreds of large and small ships.

It can cross the river for about 20,000 people at a time.

But it's not easy to go back and forth, and I can't make a few trips a day.

Liu Xian ordered people to set up temporary camps at the ferry wharves on both sides of the Yellow River, mainly to ensure that the people who had already crossed the river were to eat and drink, and the people who had not yet been able to cross the river also needed to eat and drink.

In this way, it took three days, and the hundreds of thousands of displaced people around Luoyang all reached the north bank of the Yellow River.

However, Liu Xian did not have to wait, and the people who crossed the river first, after spending the night on the north bank of the Yellow River, continued to walk the next day.

They had to cross the border of Hedong County first and reach Xie Liang County at the east and west corners of the river. This Xie Liang County is actually the hometown of Guan Yuguan's second brother.

In the northwest corner of Xie Liang County, it is the confluence of the Yellow River and the Fen River, and here, there is the Yellow River ferry wharf. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people also need to cross the river again, and after that, they can walk upstream along the west bank of the Yellow River, about six or seven hundred miles. Calculated together, the distance of this great migration is really not too far, adding up to a total of more than a thousand miles.

If this is the next generation, more than 1,000 miles, that is, 5 or 600 kilometers, can be reached in a few hours by car.

However, in this great migration, Liu Xian took the people and walked for about eight days. This has hardly stopped, and along the way, Liu Xiandu has already sent people to dot along the way. Among them, there were also some harassments by thieves.

Pingjun came down, and he walked about 100 miles in a day. There is no way to do this, hundreds of thousands of people, there are more old and weak women and children, and they are walking very slowly.

Shangjun, in fact, is the Suide County of later generations, which belongs to Shaanxi.

In this Han Dynasty, there is no accurate statement as to whether Shangjun belongs to Bingzhou or Yongzhou. Because, these places, including the northern area in the south of Shangjun, have actually been assigned to the Huns.

In other words, these areas are actually the places where the Han court was designated as the place to settle the Southern Xiongnu.

Of course, no matter what, this is still the place of the Han Dynasty, so now the migration of hundreds of thousands of Han people to Shangjun is also the freedom of the Han court, and the Huns can't control it.

Strictly speaking, at the beginning, the Southern Xiongnu moved some of their clansmen to Shangjun and Beidi, and now, most of them have been sinicized. However, in recent decades, these Huns have not been at ease and have a close relationship with the Xiongnu tribes outside the Great Wall. In many cases, it was also them who acted as internal responses and led some Xiongnu thieves to the territory of the Han Dynasty to make trouble.

But if you investigate some internal reasons, in fact, it is also because of the problems of the Han court that these basically Sinicized Huns are thieves again.

Thinking about it, you can also know that the Han people of the Han Dynasty were forced to rebel, and those Huns, under the governance of the Han government, would not be too easy either. In this way, it is strange that they do not rebel.

But these rights and wrongs Liu Xian didn't want to pay attention to. Liu Xian will only look at the problem from the standpoint of the Han people. Now that I have come to this place, I have to be the master of this place.

Huns? If they are honest and sincerely obedient to themselves, then Liu Xian can also regard them as the people of his own Han, if they are bent on attracting their Xiongnu army into the customs and come to plunder the wealth of their Han, then Liu Xian will definitely not agree, when the time comes, or they can take these Xiongnu people first and completely control and rule them.

The fast horse sent by Liu Xian had already notified the local officials in Shangjun.

As soon as Liu Xian arrived, the local officials naturally did not dare to slack off, and almost all the officials welcomed Liu Xian into the official office in the city.

Shangjun guards Zhaoyuan, and the county army Sima Huodong.

In addition, there are officials at all levels, large and small.

Through observation, Liu Xian found that the Shangjun government was indeed controlled by Zhaoyuan and Huo Dong. But the government here seems a little bleak, and the situation is not good.

The main reason is that the Huns in these areas are not very easy to govern, and their government here has long lost control of the locality. Under a county, there are still many county seats, and now, many county towns are basically vacant, and there are no officials and officers and soldiers in that county to control government affairs.

In other words, those county towns were actually plundered by the Huns and have become ruins. Even if there are still people living there, they are basically some aliens, even if there are Han people, but the status of the Han people is actually similar to that of those slaves of the Huns.

The situation is indeed worse than Liu Xian imagined.

In other words, Liu Xian brought these hundreds of thousands of people here, and he was going to face an attack from those Huns.

And Liu Xian is almost certain that those Huns will definitely come to plunder.

After listening to them tell some of the situation, Liu Xian felt that it was difficult to protect hundreds of thousands of displaced people with his 2,000 men and horses, as well as those homeless guards. At this point, a reinforcement army had to come and help.
