Chapter 0954: The Development of the Korean Land
"Without pillars and cornerstones, they will fall......"
Wang Anshi replied in a deep voice.
Kou Ji smiled with satisfaction: "I've learned this today, go back and think about this problem, it will be of great benefit to you in the future." β
Wang Anshi thanked Kou Ji for his teachings, packed up his things and left the study.
After Wang Anshi left, Kou Ji said to himself: "Boy, the prime minister of that utopian country is you. The decree that made the people miserable was the Seedlings Law. β
There was only one person in the study, and no one heard Kou Ji talk to himself.
Kou Ji stayed in the study for a long time after Wang Anshi left.
Then go back to your room and go to sleep.
The next day, Kou Ji met Liang Shi in the main hall.
Liang Shi is a middle-aged man, three years older than Kou Ji.
The Liang family is a famous family.
Liang Shi's father and brother are both champions of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have the reputation of father and son champions among the people.
In the history books, Liang Shiguan to the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the father and son are known as the 'Three Liangs of Loyalty and Filial Piety', and the 'Three Heroes of the Chen Family' and the Three Sus of Wenqing'.
He has eight sons, all of whom are outstanding people.
Grandchildren are even more of a lot.
Among them, those who live in temples are eight or nine times out of ten.
In the Great Song Dynasty, he broke out a reputation of 'full house, Liang Banchao'.
Other people's families call it half a dynasty, and it is all piled up by protΓ©gΓ©s.
His family relies on his own people.
It's just that Liang Shishi's journey is a little bumpy.
The early death of both father and son led to him living in the house again and again, missing the best time to become an official, and he was not ready to participate in the imperial examination until the year of his establishment.
And the appearance of Kou Ji disrupted history and made his career go wrong again.
He should have already been admitted to the Jinshi and became an official.
However, because of the appearance of the Wenchang Academy, he temporarily gave up the scientific examination and entered the Wenchang Academy to study.
Kou Zhun left that pair of words, when he left Bianjing City.
He resolutely followed Kou Zhun and rushed to Handi, becoming one of Kou Zhun's many followers.
After Kou Ji learned the details of his family, he always felt that this person was deliberately recruited by Kou Zhun.
After all, his family has a strong family background, a strict style, and all the children from the family are outstanding people.
Kou Zhun recruited him, which was equivalent to recruiting a talent.
With the help of the Liang family, Kou Zhun can not only quickly establish his cultural context in Korea, but also quickly build up yamen at all levels in Korea.
Kou Ji was going to ask about this matter when he arrived in Korea.
Liang Shi saw Kou Ji and saluted respectfully, "Minister Liang Shi, see the old prince......"
Liang Shi is now serving as the chief historian of the Han Palace, and he is considered a retainer of Kou Tianci, and it is also appropriate to call himself a minister in front of Kou Ji.
It's just three words of the old prince, which sounds a bit harsh.
Although in this era when the average age is around 30 years old, people over 30 years old are qualified to be called old-fashioned.
But Koji still didn't like it.
He always felt that only people over the age of 60 were qualified to be called old.
But Koji didn't want to care.
After Liang Shi's salute, Kou Ji raised his hand slightly, "How is everything in Han Di now?" β
Liang Shi Zhengse said: "Back to the old prince, now there are 60,000 households in Korea, 130,000 households, 170,000 soldiers, and 23 million quintals of grain, mostly rice.
Kou Gong divided the land of Han into one capital, two prefectures, eight prefectures, and thirty-two counties.
Now Kaiping is designated as a capital, named Hancheng, also known as Handu.
The two provinces are the north and the south, the south is Linhai and the north is Guiyi.
Thirty-two counties in the other eight states, each with its own name. β
Regarding Kou Zhun's redivision of the Korean land and the renaming of the various places in the Korean land, Kou Ji can fully understand.
Kou Ji's move was to cut off the remnants of Goryeo.
As long as the Ko clan reigns long enough on that land.
People in that area will gradually forget the names of places in Goryeo in the past.
When the people of that area became familiar with the name of the place, learned new knowledge, and spoke Chinese, then Goryeo would be completely destroyed.
Kou Ji pretended to be stunned and said, "Tianci is just a prince, not a lord of a country, how can he build a capital?" Also, 170,000 soldiers and horses? Where did it come from? Where did the 60,000 households come from?
I remember when my grandfather and Tianci went to Korea, they only brought less than 13,000 people.
Out of nowhere, out of nowhere, out of nowhere, more than 200,000 people?
The number of households in the crime has not changed, it can't be snatched from the Great Song Dynasty, right? β
Kou Ji said at the end, and there was horror on his face.
Seeing this, Liang Shi hurriedly explained: "There is General Di Qingdi in Liaodi, who dares to snatch people from Liaodi." Kou Gong restrained the soldiers and horses of the Han land, and the people of the Han land never crossed the Yalu River without permission.
The establishment of the capital of Korea was allowed by the government.
The official family secretly gave the princess a secret decree, and the princess only announced it to the public after she arrived in Korea.
It was precisely because of the will of the official family that Duke Kou dared to establish the Han capital.
As for the extra people in Handi, some of them were brought by Duke Kou and the prince when they passed, and some of them were brought by the princess when they went.
The rest is cast. β
Kou Ji pretended not to believe it and asked, "More than 100,000 people surrendered, what are you kidding, I have never heard of a place around where more than 100,000 people have left. β
Liang Shi hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to deceive the old prince, those people are all remnants floating on the sea." There are those who are in the former Sui and those who are in the former Tang Dynasty, and their ancestors seem to be soldiers of the former Sui and the former Tang Dynasty, so they all have armor and martial arts are not weak.
When the prince was patrolling the seashore, they came out.
When the prince saw that they had been wandering on the sea, and that they had no fixed dwelling, he took them in and made them his citizens.
And he exempted them from paying taxes for two years, and gave them a guilty book for them to drive.
There were many crippled men and single men among them, so the prince also gave them some sinful women as wives.
Because the population of their family was too small, the prince organized two or three of them into one household.
After they settled down, the prince admired their martial arts and summoned them to serve as soldiers.
To be honest, the minister didn't expect that the idle chess made by the prince would cause a big repercussion.
After those people settled down, they saw that the prince was a diligent and loving prince, so they called friends to go to sea, and brought many remnants floating on the sea from the sea.
The minister didn't expect that they had collected nearly 200,000 people from the sea in a year. β
Kou Ji was shocked, "There are more than 200,000 people floating on the sea, why didn't we find out before?" With such a large number of people floating on the sea, it is impossible that there is no wind at all.
Is it confirmed that those people often drift on the sea? β
Liang Shi said solemnly: "The minister has carefully observed, some of them should have been drifting on the sea, but some of them should be on land all year round. β
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, some of them are afraid that there is something wrong with their origins?" β
Liang Shi nodded and said, "The minister thinks that their origin is a mystery. I searched along the sea for a long time, but I didn't find anything. β
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Two hundred thousand people, out of thin air?" β
Liang Shi groaned: "The minister thinks that some of them should come from the north of the Wei Chamber, and some of them are from the islands in the sea.
They should have been hiding at sea and in the far north.
There is a correlation in between.
The minister flipped through Goryeo's suicide note and found that there were traces of their correspondence in it.
They should be the remnants of the former Tang and Former Sui. β
Kou Ji pondered: "Then why can't they make it, they can't come out late, but they come out at this time." β
Liang Shi said in a deep voice: "Gong Kou said that it may have something to do with the fact that the northern land outside Wei is getting colder and colder. β
Kou Ji groaned, "You said before that they have a lot of strength, and they can completely pick a piece of borderless land and occupy the mountain as the king.
Why didn't it show up before? β
Liang Shi said frankly: "The minister privately sent people to ask them, and they said that they were waiting for my Han family to recover Goryeo. Previously, when the Great Song Dynasty attacked Goryeo, they were ready to make a contribution. But before they could contact us, we attacked Goryeo. β
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, what they say is true or false." We took their word for the time being. When you go back, tell the heavens that as long as they regard themselves as the people of the land of Korea and obey the laws of the land, we will accept them without guilt.
When they are our people.
If they have different intentions, then ask Di Qing for help, and let Di Qing lead his troops to clean them up. β
Liang Shi nodded and said, "That's what Gong Kou said. Kou Gong said that there is a shortage of people in Korea now, so as long as they are of my Han family and Miao descendants, we should accept them.
We don't ask where they come from.
After three generations, no matter what their previous status was, they will become Korean people through and through.
As for whether they have different intentions, there is no need to worry at all.
Kou Gong said that as long as you are still in the Great Song Dynasty, no one will be able to set off a storm in Korea, and anyone who will set off a storm in Korea will be killed by the soldiers and horses you dispatched.
Therefore, the prince was relieved to recruit all the young and strong among them as pawns and assigned them to various places to guard. β
Kou Ji let out a long breath and said, "What grandfather said is reasonable...... As long as there is any disturbance in the Korean land, I will ask the official family and dispatch Di Qing to lead the army to drive straight in. β
Liang Shi nodded seriously.
Kou Ji seemed to let go of something, and asked Liang Shi with a smile, "How about the cultivation of the Korean land, the circulation of goods, and the establishment of a new academy?" β
When Liang Shi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "Those people who came from the sea, although the details are unknown, are all murderers, and they obey those crimes in the Han Land.
Those sinful people can be diligent in farming.
In addition to the original fertile land in Korea, nearly one million acres of fertile land have also been reclaimed.
We went late this year, so we only planted one season of beans.
The prince spent money to buy more than 20 million loads of grain from Jiaozhi and is feeding the people.
By next year, as long as there are no natural disasters, we will definitely have a good harvest.
When we went over, we brought a lot of stewards, and when the yamen in various places were erected, the stewards also took people to set up grain stores and cloth shops in various places.
Those who came from the sea also opened some shops.
Although it is still very depressed, there are already goods circulating in various places.
In the middle of the year, the imperial court opened a border market on the banks of the Yalu River.
Many merchants flocked to the area, bringing with them many goods.
The stewards of the royal palace purchased some goods from all over Korea and sold them in the border markets.
The two sides exchanged ideas, and in just one and a half seasons, they brought 300,000 yuan of tax revenue to the palace.
In the future, when the cities in various parts of Korea are completely prosperous, the tax revenue will definitely be more. β
Kou Ji listened to Liang Shi's story, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Although Liang Shi said these things, he had already known through Kou Tianci's letters.
But now that Liang Shi is re-narrating, he still has to make a happy appearance.
"Where's the Academy?"
Kou Ji asked with a smile.
Liang Shi said with a bright smile: "Kaesong, which is now Hancheng, has the Taixue left by Goryeo. After Kou Gong took people to Hancheng, he was already teaching in Taixue.
The people sent by the official family demolished part of the Taixue left behind in Goryeo.
Then, on the basis of Goryeo Taixue, a huge school palace was built with materials.
It covers an area of 10,000 acres, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions.
Kou Gong took advantage of the situation and opened many departments.
It's just that there are fewer students.
However, after the remnants of the sea entered the Korean land, some of them were supplemented.
At present, there are 642 gentlemen and only 300 students.
Kou Gong said that in the future, the number of students will definitely exceed 10,000. β
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, "Ten thousand acres? Half of Hanseong is accommodated, right? β
Liang Shi smiled and said, "No...... Just a quarter. β
Kou Ji cried and laughed: "That's not small...... 10,000 acres, can no longer be described as a school museum, it should be called a school palace. My grandfather asked the official family to help him build a school palace, so he was not afraid of the official family scolding? β
Building a school palace covering an area of 10,000 acres is no different from building a palace group covering an area of 10,000 acres.
The amount of money required for such a huge project is not a small amount.
Zhao Zhen paid this money himself.
Liang Shi said with a smile: "Labor doesn't cost money, and wood almost doesn't cost money." Removing these two items, the cost is not that great. Otherwise, Gong Kou would not look at opening his mouth to build a school palace of 10,000 acres.
Of course, what Kou Gong asked the imperial court to create was only some of these core places.
Most of the place is vacant.
Kou Gong said that when there are more students later, he will build it again. β
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "My grandfather doesn't do thankless things. He occupies 10,000 acres of land in one go, I'm afraid there are other deep meanings? β
Liang Shi nodded and said, "The old prince can guess accurately." Kou Gong was also forced to do this out of desperation. Hanseong used to be the capital of Goryeo, and it covers a large area. When the people in it were condemned, they were assigned to other places to work as farmers.
Hancheng is an empty city.
At present, only the 13,000 people we brought with us, and the families of 10,000 soldiers who came from the sea, live there. Almost all of the sins around Hancheng live in some villages outside Hancheng.
Hancheng looks depressed.
That's why Kou Gong made this decision. β
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "What about Mengxue in various places? β
Liang Shi said with a smile: "Mengxue has been erected in various places, and the nobles of Han Land have been cleaned up. So many mansions were vacated. There is much left besides what was allotted to the people.
As long as you take a little rest, you can become a Mongolian Academy.
Not only are the children of the people studying, but so are the children of sin. β
Kou Ji groaned: "You should have only established a county Mongolian school, and there should be no Mongolian school in the villages and towns. How do you solve the problem of children traveling to and from sin? β
Liang Shi laughed in a low voice: "The prince sent someone to clearly tell those crimes, and the children's reading is their only hope of getting out of the country. They sent children over the age of six out to live in a school in the city.
They have nothing to do in order to get out of their citizenship.
There are even a lot of girls stuffed into it.
Kou Gong took pity on them, knowing that some of them only had girls in their homes, so he took the opportunity to include the girls in the Mongolian school. β
Kou Ji cried and laughed: "In order to make them obedient to farming, you actually use other people's children as protons. β
Liang Shi said decisively: "We are saint disciples, but we can't do this kind of thing that loses our conscience." We're making it clear to them what's at stake.
If they don't want to, we will never force it. β
Kou Ji shook his head and asked with a smile, "After those children entered the city to study, did those crimes become much more well-behaved?" β
Liang Shi nodded heavily, "The prince is merciful, and allows those children to go home seven days a month." When the children came home, they told them what they had done in the school.
The criminals know that we are genuinely educating those children to read, not doing evil things to them.
So they obeyed a lot. β
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "This is more ruthless than using people as protons......"
Liang Shi laughed in a low voice, without words.
After Kou Ji smiled bitterly, he said to Liang Shi: "After I go back, tell Tianci that the conditions for leaving the nationality can be lowered a little." Han Di is not comparable to the Great Song Dynasty, and they are not required to be admitted to the Jinshi, as long as they can be admitted to the Fuxue established by the two prefectures later.
As for the school palace set up by my grandfather, for the time being, only the Han family and Miao descendants are used.
Those children born to my Han family, or those who belong to my Han family, are also counted.
If both parents are guilty, they can only stop at school. β
Liang Shi hesitated, but nodded.
He studied the articles of the sages, and he talked about teaching without class.
But Kou Ji spoke to keep the children out, and he couldn't stop them.
Thinking of Kou Ji's brutal methods against people other than the Great Song Dynasty, he could also understand Kou Ji's approach.
After Kou Ji finished his education, he instructed others, "When the farming is not working, you can let the criminals and soldiers build official roads." Officialdom is a must.
170,000 soldiers, a little too much.
A part of the defective ones should be taken from the 170,000 soldiers and filled into the yamen at all levels as petty officials and servants.
Each county can leave five hundred horsemen.
Each state can leave three thousand horsemen.
Each province can leave 10,000 foot soldiers.
Among the people, 50,000 people can be drawn and organized into an army, and 1,500 people are a battalion, which are stationed in various fortresses in Korea.
Another 30,000 people were drawn to form a naval army, which was still a battalion of 5,000 people, which were stationed in the six corners of the Korean land.
Hancheng can leave 12,000.
Among them, 2,000 people and the princess's 3,000 armor soldiers formed the Hancheng guard.
The other 10,000 can be stationed on the edge of Hancheng and serve as a town army. β
Liang Shi carefully calculated and said: "In this way, there will be 150,000 soldiers left. The remaining 20,000 people, after being filled into various places as government officials, should still have more than 17,000 people left.
How are they placed? β
Kou Ji said confidently: "Some people can act as post guards and post guards of the post station. The other part of the people can act as the mayor of a place, the head of the township, etc. β
Liang Shi pondered for a moment and said, "There are still 14,000 people left." β
Kou Ji said with a smile: "The rest of the people are scattered and distributed to the locality, and ten households are headed by one household. The head of a household leads two households and eight households. β
Liang Shi's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! β
Kou Ji smiled and didn't speak.
The land of Korea is just the land of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is far easier to manage than the Great Song.
Kou Ji, a Tongzhong Shumen who governed the Great Song Dynasty, governed a small Han land, which was easy.
Kou Zhun is even more so.
In fact, this method was not thought up by Kou Ji.
It's Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji is now entangled in all the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has no time to deal with the problems of Han Land.
After carefully understanding the situation of the people in Korea, Kou Zhun proposed such a method.
He knew the details of the soldiers who came from the sea, and knew that those people were now loyal to Kou Ji, not Kou Tianci.
Therefore, this kind of disrupted distribution of the soldiers must be said by Kou Ji, and those soldiers will listen.
Kou Ji is now borrowing Liang Shi to bring the words back, just right.
After admiring Kou Ji, Liang Shi couldn't help but say, "Old Lord, you have almost assigned most of the soldiers and horses to the interior of the Han Land. There were only 30,000 sailors on the border.
There is not a single strong army on the Yalu River, aren't you afraid? β
Kou Ji laughed, "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I will send my own troops and horses to attack my fiefdom? β
When Liang Shi heard this, he was not embarrassed, but said with a serious face: "You have to prepare for the future." You can't stay in Bianjing all the time. β
Hearing this, Kou Ji put away the smile on his face and looked at Liang Shi seriously, "Are you going to take root in Han Di completely?" β
Liang Shi asked rhetorically: "The minister is already a retainer of the Kou family, do you think the minister still has room to regret?" β
Kou Ji Zhengse said: "If you are tired of staying in Handi and are willing to go to Bianjing City, I can help you." β
Liang Shi shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you are already in Korea, it makes no sense to go to Bianjing City." There will be no trust. β
When Kou Ji heard this, he knew that Liang Shi really planned to stay in Han with all his heart.
In this regard, Kou Ji was very emotional.
He really wanted to ask Kou Zhun what kind of ecstasy soup he had poured into this guy to make him so loyal to the Kou clan.
Kou Ji stared at Liang Shi and said, "Since you have decided to take root in the Korean land, then I am not afraid to tell you some truths." There are too few people in my land today.
If there are too many soldiers and horses, then there will be no one to lead those sinful books to farm.
So we have to wait until the population is raised before we can support more soldiers and horses. β
Liang Shi hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." β
Kou Ji smiled: "I understand this truth. However, as long as I am in the Great Song Dynasty, there will be no problems in Korea. What's more, once there is a problem in Handi, I am afraid that several other places will be cold. β
Liang Shi pondered for a moment and said, "I hope so......"
Kou Ji said with a warm smile: "What did you bring with you this time to bring tribute?" β
