"But Your Majesty, what should I do if Hebei is underpopulated? This problem is already imminent! Tian Feng sighed lightly.

From Cao Cao to Liu Bei to Yuan Shao, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. The population under his command has almost made the disaster almost worse, especially the young and strong, there is simply not one in ten.

All the way to the north, from the Central Plains to Hebei, there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, the population is extremely scarce, and the three of them have to take a large part of it to move west, and the remaining population is too small.

In the vast land of three states in Hebei, the population is less than three million. You must know that the population of Jinling alone is more than one million, and the entire Yangzhou has nearly six million people, which is twice that of the three prefectures of Hebei combined. How does this make Tian Feng manage?

Jizhou, which used to be the richest in the world, is now looted by Yuan Shao, and the population is not as large as that of Jinling City. There are so many fertile fields and treasures, they can't all be barren, and they must be replenished by population.

"There is no way to be demographic, and the population left for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be reduced, so we can only start from the south and relocate some people over." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said.

"From Liangzhou to Yuzhou, and then to Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, people have migrated from the south many times. There is a great deal of resistance among the people in the south, and the southern states are deeply developed, and the demand for population is also great. It's a bit difficult to migrate again. After all, these places in Hebei can't be compared with the wealth of Jiangnan, and the infrastructure, education, and medical care are too bad, and no one wants to go. Tian Feng shook his head slightly, indicating that it was difficult to do.

Yuan Shu was speechless for a while when he heard this, it seems that it is not a good thing to let the people live too well. This is indeed the case, after taking root in big cities and small counties, how many people are willing to go back to the backward countryside?

Now I want to relocate the population, which is similar to the development of the western region and the teaching of college students in the northwest. It is difficult to achieve the goal without taking hard measures.

"That's right." Yuan Shu lowered his head and muttered: "In this way, you first screen the people in the four southern states and pick out the people who are suitable to migrate to Hebei." For example, those whose ancestral home was Hebei, or those who originally lived here, did not have a job in the local area, and were mainly engaged in farming. We should make a count of them and do a good job in ideological education first. Tell them that Hebei will be as prosperous as the south in the future, and the corresponding infrastructure, medical and educational conditions will quickly keep up, eliminate their resistance, and gain their support. If it really can't be done, and the number of people is not enough, then it will be forcibly apportioned. ”

In addition, preferential treatment was given to the people who moved to Hebei. Including tax exemptions, free allocation of housing, high-paying jobs, honorary awards, etc., and even let them become officials if they perform well. Yuan Shu came up with a killer idea.

The reason why so many college students are willing to go to the northwest is not only because of their own sense of responsibility and kindness, but also because of their generous treatment and subsequent preferential treatment for graduate school entrance examinations, employment or civil servants. While it is important to encourage the infection of the spirit, the foundation of material security must also keep up. If you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass.

"In addition, build another top college in Hebei, and invite a few great Confucian towns. Build a top military academy again, and invite Huangfu Song out of the mountain to act as a teacher and be responsible for training generals. Medical care and road infrastructure should also be on par with Jiangdong. ”

Tian Feng nodded when he heard this: "The lord is wise, in this way, the difficulty of this population migration should be reduced a lot." ”

"Regarding the construction of Hebei, it is still in accordance with the original model of Yangzhou, which is based on work. There are a few caveats though. First, the sediment accumulation on both sides of the Yellow River will only get worse if it is not treated, so it is necessary to send people to plant more trees on both sides of the Yellow River, and to reorganize the river channel, and to set up more reservoirs and flood control facilities along the river. Second, the world is already in hand, and it is time for many major projects to begin. ”

"The water system of the thirteen states of Dahan is counted and detailed, and the construction of water networks, canals, reservoirs and other systems must be carried out gradually. So as to greatly avoid drought and flood disasters, and at the same time facilitate water transportation. Some water systems that are not far from each other can be artificially dug to connect them. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly remembered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal opened by Emperor Yang of Sui. Secretly shook his head, leaving the thought behind him. Now Dachu is in ruins, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, which is not enough to support such a huge project for the time being.

"Second, road construction must be improved in various places. In particular, the roads between the major cities, states and counties must be laid in strict accordance with the top standards set at the beginning, so as to ensure that our Dachu army can reach every state and county in the fastest time. In some places where the terrain is closed and dangerous, even if the mountains are cracked and the rocks are opened, the road must be opened, and there must not be a trace of hidden dangers. It is imperative to ensure that the roads of the whole world are unobstructed, so as to avoid the emergence of secession and the development of the economy. Bridges across the river need to be built, and the roads between Yizhou and Liangzhou need to be expanded and leveled. ”

"Third, only the Southern Xiongnu are still left in the northern Huns. However, with Bo Fu and Zilong here, it is expected that it will not take long to take it. In view of the problems of the Hu people, such as the Qiang, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Southern Xiongnu, it is necessary to formulate a perfect system. It is necessary not only to restrain these Hu tribes and prevent them from becoming large, but also to send a large number of Confucian students to indoctrinate and integrate them into our Han people. The corresponding cultural integration must be completed as soon as possible, and their cultural systems and myths and beliefs must be integrated into the culture of the Han people, but the culture of the Han people must be the main body, and everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang as the core. Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

The Hu people in the northern steppes have always been the biggest problem that has plagued the Han people, and it has not been solved for thousands of years. Yuan Shu naturally attaches great importance to this.

"After the situation is stabilized, the Hu tribes can be dispersed according to the situation of each Hu tribe, divided into many small and medium-sized tribes, and their activity areas can be stipulated, and it is forbidden to attack each other, and the number of tribes can be limited. Of course, this does not need to be done for the time being, and will be discussed later. Because we are in dire need of manpower, if there is an overpopulation, select some of them to go south, integrate into our Han society, and pave the way for farmers or workers to build bridges. ”

"Your Majesty's plan is very good!" Tian Feng's eyes lit up and said: "This is a desperate plan, as long as the Hu people can't swallow each other and grow, there is no need to worry." Population restrictions can ensure that they will not be overpopulated and unable to live without food, thus forcing them to go south to raid. We can also mediate, manipulate the situation in the grassland, and ensure the peace and tranquility of the grassland. Even in the event of a snow disaster, it is a big deal to requisition some grain and grass. In this way, the problem of the north can be completely solved. ”

Yuan Shu nodded. His method was actually borrowed from the practice of the Qing Dynasty, and it was the nomads themselves who knew best how to deal with such problems.

"The Hu people admired the Han culture, so we let them learn. The Hu people envy the life of the Han people and like the wine and food of the Han people, so we will give them a chance. Those who perform well let them move south, give them fair treatment, and let them also have a path to promotion. As long as you have the ability, you can be an official in my Dachu. Do not discriminate, do not despise, sincerely accept, and quietly dissolve its culture. Let him speak Chinese, read Chinese books, and write Chinese characters, and when the next generation grows up, there will be no more Hu people in the world. ”

The best and most effective way to conquer a people is to destroy its culture.
