Chapter 194: Mountain People
Hanxing County originated from the integration of Fangling, Xicheng and Shangyong counties, and the three eastern counties were originally the eastern three counties of Hanzhong County.
Because Liu Bei built an altar in Hanzhong during the Xiangfan Campaign, the three eastern counties were integrated completely, and the omen was auspicious, so it was named Hanxing County.
On August 12, at the ferry port of Shangyongcheng, Shen Yi, the commander of Hanxing County, the Marquis of Zhenxiang, and the general of Jianxin, waited here, quite wandering.
The death of his brother Shen Tan in battle is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing, and it is a good thing for the whole family.
Now the county guard Meng Da is hiding in the military tun of Nanyang County and does not come forward, and the nine counties of Hanxing County are governed by the county commanders, but there is an alternative kind of harmony.
It is said that there are nine counties, and the total population of the people is less than 20,000, and at least half of the population is in a state of seclusion and dispersion, so Hanxing County is very barren.
If they are poor, they can't raise soldiers, they can't levy too much money and food, and the armed forces of the wealthy families are relatively low.
As for the treacherous terrain of the wealthy families of Hanxing County...... It's useless, Meng Da's department is a second-rate unit of the Han army, and it has already proved its mountain combat ability from Zigui's surprise attack on Fangling.
During the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei led the main force to bypass Yangping Pass, and after interspersed from Dingjun Mountain to Yangping Pass, he suddenly appeared behind the Wei army, and Yangping Pass was in danger.
What's more, Tian Xin paid a great price for redeeming the soldiers who died in the battle of Shen Tan's head and Hanxing County.
Now Tian Xin is wandering in the mountains to leave, and Shen Yi and Haoqiang from near and far have come to see him off.
When Liu Bei was preparing to build Yulin and Huben, he had screened from Haoqiang and the orphaned children in the army, but everyone has redundant children, and it is good to find a way out, and you can still learn writing with Tian Xin...... It's just too profitable.
Not only Han Haoqiang, but also some of the leaders of the Ban Yu barbarians in the deep mountains in the west also appeared here.
The crowd didn't wait long before they saw more than a dozen small boats appear upstream.
Shen Yi led more than 30 people to greet him, Tian Xin got off the boat and had a meal together on the shore, sat down with Shen Yi and said: "Zhaoyang Yi is vast and sparsely populated, with the benefits of Han water, Dan water, turbulent water, and water water, which is really a place of ointment in the world. If there are mountain people in the county who originally moved to settle in Zhaoyang-eup, they can be granted fertile land according to the law of Maicheng households. ”
"If the world is settled, the plains will be rich, and the population will grow faster than the mountains. If you don't go at this time, after the Northern Expedition is completed, there will be no room for resettlement. ”
Tian Xin also looked around at the leaders of Han Haoqiang, Jing Man, and Ban Yuman, who stopped their chopsticks: "So far, I have only recruited more than 1,000 people as soldiers in Maicheng, and in the future, Zhaoyangyi will not be conscripted for military service except for conscription in the city." If you want to enlist, I will also recruit the part. ”
A leader of the Ban Barbarians said: "The prince, a certain person intends to move to Zhaoyangyi, but the people in the department mostly rely on mountain hunting for their livelihood, and do not know agricultural skills. ”
"It's all easy to say, Your Majesty takes Wudang County as my fiefdom, and I will send someone to teach farming skills, if you really can't learn it, you can live in Wudang or the valley around Shandu."
Tian Xin looked at these leaders who were called barbarian leaders, who were actually similar to Han Haoqiang's words and customs: "I grew up in the land of Hanzhong, and I know the hardships of the mountain people. Therefore, taxes, conscription, and military service will be levied fairly, and I hereby guarantee you that if you move to the wilderness and live in the mountains as comfortably, it will not be too late for you to move back to the mountains. I can set up a stone monument as an oath, and listen to the mountain people. ”
Another barbarian leader gave up his hand: "We are willing to serve in the military, and we don't ask for much, I just hope that the prince will regard us as the old people of Maicheng." ”
"This is the solitude and ignorance of the kings, I rule the people by law, this law remains unchanged, there is no distinction between the old and the new, I treat everyone equally, regardless of the old and the new."
Tian Xin said with a smile: "I don't hide it from you, I pity the hardships of the mountain people, and I really love the mountain people." I already have three battalions, and I want to take Zhaoyangyi and Wudang as the foundation and recruit four more battalions. If you are willing to follow me down the mountain to plant, then I will recruit the mountain people to compile two battalions. ”
Why does Ma Chao have a high prestige among the Qiangqi Zhuhu, because he can win battles, and he can let these tribes go home with the spoils of war after sending troops.
Shen Yi spoke at this time: "Junhou, a certain person is willing to move the clan and pro-party in Zhaoyangyi." ”
Tian Xin was slightly surprised, so he heard Shen Yi say: "I heard that the prince and the marquis are building a new city on the north bank of the Han River, and the Shen family is willing to move into the new city for the people." ”
Under the "Maicheng Household Law", even Tian Xin's clan has been divided into household registrations, and other powerful people who have migrated to Maicheng must also be divided into large households according to the household law.
According to the law of Maicheng households, there are only three adult Ding Zhuang at most when a household registration is legal, and they are three generations of grandchildren; If the grandchildren are adults, they should be excluded and set up another household.
If you are single, it is a single-family household, and the tax rent is halved, just like a weak household where a minor is the head of the household, and a female household where a woman is the head of the household.
With Shen Yi as an example, even if many people do not move, they have to separate some collateral groups to migrate to Zhaoyangyi.
Although the life of the mountain people is barren, the heads of people killed on the plains are rolling, and the mountain people can still survive tenaciously.
The Shen family is different, before Shen Tan died in the war, he was a member of the township marquis Shiyi Qianhu, and Shiyi Qianhu recognized Shen Tan's control over the tribe; Hanxing County was established, and after Shen Tan died in battle, Shen Yi was awarded the title of 800 households of the township marquis.
The Shen family has one family and two marquis, and 1,800 households, and after they moved from Hanxing County, they are still in effect.
There is also a difference, if they move to Nanjun and Xiangyang County, they can still take their troops to open up the wasteland, establish a dock fort, and continue to eat 1,800 households.
Moving to Zhaoyangyi, the Nashen family and the pro-party of the tribe will encounter the analysis of the "Hulu", and the subordination relationship between them will be weakened.
This kind of dilution is not a grievance, in the future, the world will be calm, and the imperial court will definitely carry out targeted dilution, obedience is fine, disobedience will be hit.
Take the initiative to accept the dilution, and there will naturally be a reward.
It is impossible for Tian Xin to give them more preferential treatment than the tax rate, otherwise it will be unfair to Wuxi who migrated from Jingnan.
As long as justice is maintained, Zhaoyangyi does not need to accommodate too many people, and it is enough to gather 30,000 households before and after, and any more will be too conspicuous.
It's not that Tian Xin begged these mountain people to move inward, and the money didn't move with them, so it was just a simple meeting.
After a full meal, Tian Xin led more than 30 followers to continue to set off; You can't walk the comfortable Han River, this road is a bit far away. You will go over the mountains and take the mountain road, and there are contact points along the way to build water and frustrate water, and you can take a boat after arriving.
Except for Tian Xin and Yu Zhong, the rest of the people carried baskets on their backs and loaded daily necessities; There are also six people in the basket with six round uncles.
These uncles seem to be really talented, and they have adapted to the life of being cared for since childhood.
Lying lazily in the basket without heart and lungs, looking at the shaking sky, the woods, and the peaks, he left his hometown in the bumps.
Not only Tian Xin likes it, but the entourage who came with him also likes to take care of these uncles.
Basically, the meals are fresh and tender bamboos, and the fruits collected from near and far are also eaten by people before they are fed to these uncles.
At the meeting point in the upper reaches of Fushui, Li Heng and others were here, and submitted a military intelligence report: "Junhou, Zhang Wenyuan has entered the Wankou camp built by Junhou of Tun, and the thief army scouts and cavalry are out day and night, and have spread to Wancheng and Xinye. ”
He said with a sigh: "The return date of the prince is uncertain, and His Majesty will reward the ministers in the Jiangling Dynasty, but unfortunately the prince cannot come in person." ”
Yu Zhong held an uncle in his arms: "I think it's a pity that Shuping didn't see the excitement, right?" ”
Li Heng smiled, stretched out his hand to touch the uncle in Yu Zhong's arms, but didn't want this master to turn his head in Yu Zhong's arms, leaving a back.
Tian Xin opened the lacquer seal and studied these information circulars sent by Jiangling: "If there is a soldier in the world, how can there be a prince who has no responsibility? I want to build the main temple in Wudang County, and the name of the county is not easy to change. ”
