"The right chief suggested to His Majesty that the people north of the river should represent the three northern counties, Yuyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping; The people south of the Huai River are in the south of the Yangtze River and Jiangdong; The people of Guanxi are in Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, so where should the people of Henan and Huaibei counties be guarded? ”

Chen Ping is a native of Dangjun, and when he found that Heifu did not mention the Central Plains, he asked him if he was still very concerned about the future of the township party.

Heifu asked Zhang Han just now, and then found that while Qin Shi Huang was interested in the Queen Mother of the West and decided to focus on the northwest, he did not expel Yanqi Fangshi, and still asked Shaofu to pay a sum of money to let them go to the seaside to build ships and find immortals......

In Heifu's view, instead of doing an ethereal search for immortals, it is better to study how to safely and effectively cross the Bohai Strait and closely link Qidi and Liaodong - the navigation technology of these years, Korea and Japan cannot pass, but the Liaodong Peninsula is not difficult. The Bohai Sea is an inland sea, the wind and waves are not big, there are various small islands along the way to anchor, to the Liaohe River or Yalu River estuary landing, Linzi, Jiaodong two counties can quickly reach the destination......

Of course, this is just an idea of his, and he did not write it into the song, and he plans to add it after returning to Xianyang Miansheng.

In addition to the southeast, northwest and northwest, there is only the Central Plains in the true sense, which is only about one-sixth of the area of the Qin Dynasty, and there are more than ten counties, but it is enough to have half of the population of the Qin Dynasty!

These counties, after more than 1,000 years of development in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, have become saturated, the land is narrow and the people are crowded, and a few members of the Qianshou family live in small houses.

Chen Ping thought so, for example, his family, in the past, only had 30 acres of thin fields, and the two brothers cultivated together, and they could barely make ends meet.

That's okay, one-third of the families in their treasury have no land, so they can only work as hired farmers for the rich. The neighboring Sanchuan, Yingchuan, and Chenjun are the same, the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the hired farmers who have no land are everywhere, and many people are forced to be helpless and can only be merchants, which is also the reason for the Central Plains Duojia.

In Heifu's view, these poor people, hired farmers, and traders who have no place to stand can just emigrate to Shibian!

The people who are plugged down are not rich in profit, and they must not let them dwell in a place of peril for a long time. Exempt from the punishment of prisoners, restore the normal status of the son-in-law, give the title of farmer, tax exemption and exemption from military service for ten years, grant hired farmland, and give whatever is lacking.

In short, the people in the Central Plains were landless, and after entering the customs in the west, they moved to the border fortress where the land was fertile, the water and grass were abundant, but the population was sparse. For them, houses were built, cities were built, homes were settled, and land and property were purchased according to the Shiwu. For the first three years, the government provided winter clothing and sufficient food, as well as the necessary cattle, farming tools, and seeds until they were able to provide for themselves.

Three years later, the land had been cleared, and the government was able to purchase grain nearby, so the border soldiers did not have to rely on the long-distance travel from the interior to provide food.

When the peasants are not working, they conduct military training for the immigrants, distribute weapons, educate the troops in the peasants, and settle the fields in peacetime, and do not expect them to kill the enemy after the war, but they can be used as a logistics brigade to accompany the army.

This kind of armed colonization will be carried out in Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, and in the future, with the passage of the imperial border, it can be extended to Hexi and Hetao......

Heifu also proposed that in order to heal witches to save diseases, to repair sacrifices, so that men and women can marry, sympathize with life and death, plant trees and livestock, and complete the house, after a generation, the graves will follow, and the immigrants will become local natives and have the heart of long-term residence.

After listening to Heifu's detailed description, Zhang Han and Chen Ping both thought that this was a good policy, and they heard Zhang Han say that Qin Shi Huang ordered the prime minister, the imperial historian, and the court lieutenant to discuss this matter, and the result was almost there.

Zhang Han said: "Everyone knows that His Majesty's heart to expand to the west has been decided, so there are few people who oppose it, not to mention, this strategy has a precedent as early as King Zhao's time. ”

Many years ago, King Zhaoxiang of Qin believed that the Qin State was vast and sparsely populated, so he implemented the policy of "Benefiting the People": all those who came to belong to the vassal states were given a knighthood, granted 100 acres of land, exempted from ten years of forced labor and taxes, and wrote this policy in the decree, and finally recruited 100,000 poor peasants.

Heve's proposal is just an improved version of this strategy, and there is already a success story.

"However, three years ago, after I led my troops to sweep away Yuzhang, His Majesty moved the people of Nanjun to Nanchang City, so that the army and civilians could open up wasteland, which can be regarded as the beginning of Tuntian, and now the people of Nanchang County have nearly 10,000 people, and the former barbaric land is now a rich town in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Nanchang City, this is the joint result of Heifu and Zhang Han, the two of them said while toasting each other.

Of course, Heff didn't say that many of the immigrants grew sugar cane on their plantations when they were not working. With the popularity of brown sugar in Kansai in the past two years, and even exported to Yueshi, sugarcane brown sugar is profitable, except for Nanchang County, the rest of the counties, Heifu's old subordinates, have also begun to follow suit, burning waste in their own fields to grow cane sugar, and then handed over to Heifu's cousin to sell, the black party has a tendency to become a sweet party......

With the support of laws and regulations, and there are successful precedents, Heifu's Tuntian policy, if nothing else, will definitely be passed, which is the reason why Zhang Han congratulated Heifu on "ascending" again.

"Heifu has written in a row, saying that the national policy, if it is adopted by His Majesty, a suggestion will not be able to run away, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner!"

Zhang Han guessed that according to the practice of the promotion of officials in the Qin Dynasty, if Heifu was promoted again, he would probably be able to go to the county to be a feudal official such as a guard and lieutenant, and he was envious for a while......

At this time, he remembered something again, and said with a smile: "Just saying that Tuntian has gone, I haven't told you how the court and China are arguing about the matter of reaming wool for clothing!" ”

"What's there to fight about?" Heifu was incredible.

"The Ph.D. students who praise Confucius don't think so."

Zhang Han learned from the appearance of Dr. Le Zhengli and lacquer carving and dyeing, and shook his head and said: "All the sayings of the people, China's Rongyi, the people of the five directions, all have sex, and they cannot be moved. Dongfang said Yi, was sent a text cover, and there were people who did not eat fire. The south is said to be barbaric, carved and crossed, and there are people who do not eat fire. In the West, it is said that Rong, who is clothed and skinned, has no grain eaters. In the north, it is said that Di, clothed and feathered cave dwelling, and there are no grain eaters......"

"They think that Qin Nai is dressed in a high-ranking country and has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and it has the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua. The descendants do not seek summer, and they do not mess with China. Dressed in robes and robes, it is taught by the sages, and now the black man has written a book, wanting to make the Chinese people clothed and feathered, clothed and clothed in skin, which is to disturb the Chinese clothes with the custom of Rong Di, and it is a trip to return to birds and beasts! ”

Because in Heifu's proposal, woolen clothes can not only be worn by border soldiers, but also can be promoted to the entire north in the future, so it is inevitable that they will be opposed by Confucianism, and they don't want to see the future Qi and Lu lands full of "military clothes".

"Same as Rong Di", it was the wording used by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong to black Qin, and the Qin people, the Confucian scholars in Wei, Lu and other places attached great importance to these, they thought that the gentleman should wear the orthodox clothes and then do things, and His Majesty could not agree.

In the end, Confucian also took the army of Heifu.

"In this way, it is not conducive to His Majesty's decree of 'the customs of the whole world'."

"It's like they don't wear fur in the winter." Chen Ping prides himself on being Huang Lao, and he can't get used to this group of rigid Confucian students.

Heifu couldn't laugh or cry, he really didn't expect such a play at the time.

However, he was not worried, because Dr. Confucian was just a mascot used by Qin Shi Huang to decorate the court, and he had very little right to speak.

For example, the Mo family......

Sure enough, Zhang Han said happily: "As soon as the words of the sentencing fell, the ink scholars Tang Fuzi and Cheng Shang refuted on the spot, saying: The words of the sentient beings are different, Zi Mozi Zeng Yun, and he is not serving!" ”

The ink scholar also quoted the scriptures: the former Qi Huan Gong was crowned with a high crown and a broad belt, in order to govern his country, and his country was governed. In the past, the clothes of the Jin Wen Gong cloth and the fur of the sheep were used to govern the country and govern the country. In the past, the king of Chuzhuang Xianguan was dressed in a robe, in order to govern his country and govern his country. In the past, King Goujian cut his hair and tattooed his body to govern his country and govern his country.

These four monarchs, their costumes are different, but they all created their own governance, from which it can be seen that the so-called ceremonial clothing does not determine the chaos of a country, and Confucianism insists that the material of a piece of clothing is hemp, silk or wool, which is really pedantic.

This is the view of the Mohists, in their opinion, as long as it is comfortable, it is okay for the soldiers who go to the north to be sent to the left, and it is okay for the soldiers to go to the south to guard the tattoos and have their hair broken.

Just when the two families were arguing, the Legalists headed by Li Si also spoke.

"Your Majesty, Shang Jun once said, according to the time and the law, according to the matter and the ceremony, the law and the order, each according to its own suitability; Clothes and equipment, each for its own convenience. Therefore, the country does not need to be Fagu! The minister thought that clothes were for ease of wearing, and etiquette was for ease of action. If it can benefit the people and enrich the country, it is not impossible to change the material of the clothes slightly. ”

"Now the suggestion of the right chief Heifu is only to imitate the method of the Qiang people, using wool as the thread, and making clothes for the soldiers to keep out the cold, and it is not to make all the people in China be sent to the left, and all living beings are so opposed, it is really a fuss!"

It is not difficult to guess from Li Si's opinion that as long as the reform is beneficial to the country, the Legalists will support the change, and the Qin State has been strong for a hundred years, relying on this mentality of courage to change.

Zhang Han said: "In the end, even Zhang Cang stood up to speak for you." ”

"Oh, doesn't Zhang Zijun just like to close the door to study and not ask about political affairs? What did he say? "Hefu wondered what the fat house of knowledge would say.

And he said a word.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Zhang Cang said that Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, or let the border guards eat and dress warmly, and then talk about the great etiquette and the beauty of uniforms!" ”

"Well said! One sentence is enough! ”

Heifu is very pleased, this is the benefit of inheriting the legacy of a hundred schools of thought, different points of view collide in the government and the opposition, open-minded and enterprising, instead of boasting that the heavens are the country, and he plays himself autistic.

In the end, Qin Shi Huang also made a decision:

Zhang Han repeated: "Your Majesty said that those who have the merits of the high world will bear the burden of the world; Those who have only knowledge will be feared by the common people! ”

"Back then, Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, although he was ridiculed by the vulgar Confucian, but he was able to inherit the cause of the Lord of Xiang, destroy the country of Zhongshan, the hometown of Qihu and Zhai, and Zhao Sui had Yunzhong and Jiuyuan."

"Now, according to Heifu's words, a slight change in the material of clothes can make the soldiers free from frost, guard the border for the country, and open up territory.

"Your Majesty." Heifu clenched his fists in the direction of Xianyang Palace, and it was not easy to meet an emperor who had the courage to change.

"By the way, Dong Fei told me that in the month that Heifu has been on the road, there is one more favored minister by His Majesty's side." Zhang Han said casually.

"Oh, could it be that Youzhān is back in the palace again?" Since the last time he and Fusu were forced together, Youhan has been snubbed by the emperor and has not been summoned to the palace for a long time, and Heifu has some sympathy for him.

"It's not Yujan."

Zhang Han said with a smile: "It's a Yan Guo musician named Gao Yuanli!" ”
