For the people who migrated from Goguryeo, Sun Xiangfu had already made arrangements, so when the matter came to an end, he was not flustered at all, and those houses that were emptied because of the replacement of land just came in handy, with farm tools and various living materials in it, which was not worse than when they were in Goguryeo.

When I learned that each household would be allocated 80 acres of upper fields, and after the beginning of spring, I could still receive high-yield grain seeds, these people suddenly forgot the hard work and fatigue of the road, and they were more seriously sinicized, in fact, they didn't care who ruled them, no matter how Guanzhong was, it was richer and more comfortable than the bitter cold Northeast.

After scattering these Goguryeo people in various villages, Sun Xiangfu asked the county leaders to take turns to take them to visit the new villages around Chang'an, and told them that as long as their own land was planted well and the tax amount of the imperial court was not too high, then in the next year or two, all the villages where they lived would be replaced with such good houses.

For Sun Xiangfu's series of plans to resettle the people, the eldest grandson Wuji exclaimed, he imagined that the people of Goguryeo might have all kinds of discomfort, but they did not appear, it can be seen that no matter where the people are, as long as they see hope, they can become more obedient.

While Sun Xiangfu was busy relocating these newly relocated people from village to village, Yu Xiuer was also busy with the strategies she had discussed with Sun Xiangfu.

In the past few days, I have been in and out of the palace to meet the eldest grandson queen several times, and I have frequent gatherings with the ladies of various families, and finally, when the time entered the wax moon and Sun Xiangfu returned home after completing the resettlement work, he got good news.

"The husband, the wife of each family, has successfully persuaded their husband, at this time, the husband put forward a proposal to make a woman an official in the court, and the courtiers who agree with it can reach at least eighty or ninety."

"In this way, this can be done."

After more than half a month of resettlement work, Sun Xiangfu finally returned home, and tomorrow in the court, he was ready to take out this matter and talk about it.

Then, he saw Yu Xiu'er running to the study to write and draw.

"That, Chun Tao, come and help me press my head for my husband, Hongmei, bring some food over, let my husband relieve his cravings, I have suffered a lot outside these days."

When the eldest woman suddenly became less cute, the benefits of the two concubines were reflected, Chun Tao and Hongmei in order to have a child of their own, now they are obedient to Sun Xiangfu, and after a while, Sun Xiangfu's fatigue will dissipate.

"If the two of you give birth to a child like Xiu'er, won't you serve your husband like this anymore?"

"We'll have to wait until we have a baby."

"You have become more and more shrewd, rejoicing and rejoicing! Let the bridesmaids bring me to see. ”

"The two little ones sleep every day when they are full, and eat when they wake up, and now they have grown into big fat people."

"The milk baby just wants to be fat, and when the strip is drawn, it will lose weight."

After a while, Sun Xingfu teased the child to play, but this kind of gossip is commonplace, and he is destined to live a short time, in the palace, there is a new situation from Jingxiang, and Li Shimin is ready to convene everyone again.

Jingzhou Haoqiang has a great resistance to the new policy, not only obstructing the implementation, but also raising bandits to respect themselves, looting official ships, and sabotaging Wushi Tong's relocation plan, the reason why they dare to be so rampant is naturally that Li Shimin transferred the naval army that originally guarded here to Laizhou, and most of Jingzhou's government soldiers were also transferred to Guanzhong for winter training, preparing to go to Goguryeo next year, and Wu Shi Tong basically had no soldiers available.

At dinnertime, Li Shimin set up a banquet in the imperial study to entertain Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others, Sun Xiangfu also rushed over after receiving his summons.

"Zhengming can have a solution to the rampant Jingxiang water bandits?"

After Sun Xiangfu read Wu Shitong's recital, Li Shimin asked.

In fact, he asked Sun Xiangfu about this matter, that is, he didn't want to use war to solve the problem of Jingxiang, he knew the root cause of which water bandits fell into the grass, and in history, Wushi Tong was Zhenguan for six years, fighting Haoqiang in Jingzhou, "the matter of lenient labor, and the cause of agriculture and mulberry", helped Li Shimin solve this problem, and achieved his greatest political achievement in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

However, that was implemented when there was no foreign war in the Tang Dynasty and the samurai had soldiers available.

Now the situation is different, Li Shimin's reform, much more fierce than in history, and the land of Jingxiang, since the end of the Han Dynasty, is the important place controlled by the family Haoqiang, its surrounding areas are densely covered with waterways, the lake area is vertical, there was a navy here before, at least, on the surface can not appear too chaotic, now, the navy has been withdrawn, those places Haoqiang no longer need to maintain any superficial restraint, competing to strengthen themselves, resulting in the situation here, much more serious than in history, the local people who were forced to fall into the grass up to 10,000 households.

Moreover, these grassy people, playing with their brains can not play those heroes, they are always used by them to achieve their own goals, this time, it is one of the relatively large water bandits, robbed the warrior Tong and finally persuaded a group of Miao people who moved out of the Xiangxi region, at present he has no soldiers available, can not solve this matter by force, and because of some scruples, he does not want to take the lead himself, so he pushed the matter to the imperial court.

Sun Xiangfu put down the report and analyzed it a little in his mind before saying, "Your Majesty, the reason why the water bandits fell into the grass is because they can't live their lives, who made their lives unbearable?" The place is strong.

Jiang Hanping has fertile land, abundant water resources, and large farmland, and the more land these powerful occupy in the local area, the more wealth they will accumulate, and if they want to continue to expand, they have to start with the common people.

The minister was in charge of land replacement before, and he discovered some problems in Shannan Province, with the strength of five surnames and seven families, the land in the entire Shannan Province area was not even one million mu, which shows that these Jingzhou heroes and strongmen have put the local business in a monolith, and even the five surnames and seven families are not too involved. ”

When Sun Xiangfu said this, he paused for a moment, and Fang Xuanling took over the conversation and said, "What Zhengming said is the truth.

The group headed by the Jingzhou clan such as Cai, Huang, Kuai, Deng, and Liu, since the end of the Han Dynasty, has controlled the land of Jingxiang, and they are different from the five surnames and seven families to develop outward, all of them hold on to one place, like Caizhou and Huangzhou, on the household register, there is almost no person with his surname, the court does not send officials, both places are under the control of the Cai and Huang clans, and it is difficult to change anyone. ”

The local heroes have developed to such an extent, their foundation has been formed, and then it is difficult to completely uproot them, the five surnames and seven families have reached this level first, and then after a long time of accumulation, they began to embark on the road of expansion, if you want to eliminate them, you must eradicate their foundation, but can you kill all the people in a county?

Doing so will bring huge losses to the imperial court, but if you ignore them, they have been inside the country, using their accumulated energy to exploit others, and suck some benefits that should belong to the country, it is most appropriate to call them a cancer.

"What can be cured?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.

When Sun Xiangfu talked about the situation in Jingxiang Land in Fang Xuanling, he was already thinking of a way in his mind, in the past agrarian society, the local heroes wanted to develop, and almost only the road of annexing land could be taken, however, now it is different, because Datang is about to embark on the road of industry, and there is no shortage of land, only lack of labor, so there are many ways to deal with these heroes.

"Your Majesty, these local heroes who are guarding in groups seem to be powerful, but it is not impossible to govern them."

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Zhengming, please come." ”

"Didn't they hold on to the land? Let's just make their land worthless. ”

"How does it work?"

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Since Your Majesty asked Ji and the ministers, in fact, he didn't want to send troops to exterminate those water bandits, thinking that their evil was not too big, and it was not enough to send a large army to kill them, the ministers thought that they should send envoys to surrender." ”

"Recruit them, and you can solve those local powers?"

"Recruiting them is only the first step, and the minister wants to organize these people who are good at boating on the water to set up a Yangtze River waterway transfer company to undertake the important task of circulating goods in the north and south of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yangtze River Waterway Transfer Company?"

"Yes, this is an industry that specializes in running ships and transporting goods to make profits, think about it, after those factories in Weinan are put into operation, every year, or even every day, a lot of goods will be produced, these commodities need a lot of raw materials, and the finished products will need a large market to digest them, which requires a large communication to provide raw materials and a transportation line to undertake the output of goods, so even if there is no such thing as a bandit, in the future, the imperial court will have to find a way to solve this problem."

Produce something, you have to find a way to sell it, the industrialization of Weinan, if you want to drive the whole country, you must have a more convenient and fast communication channel with the national market, in the era of underdeveloped land transportation, water transportation is the first choice.

"What you say is reasonable, but can this water transportation company make the powerful land in those places worthless?"

Seeing that Li Shimin had not yet understood it, Sun Xiangfu explained again, "In fact, when you make more money from engaging in industry and commerce than you can from engaging in agriculture, all the land in the country will become less valuable."

And when these people who accepted the surrender of the imperial court and began to run the boat were richer than the clan people who held on to one land and farmed, they would no longer be satisfied with holding on to one place, and first of all, there would be internal strife.

Of course, if they don't make trouble, they can be willing to live the self-sufficient life of the past, so that they can just live a poorer life and will not affect others.

And if they are disobedient, with what the current court can grasp, let them become poorer, until the internal division is actually very simple.

For example, this year they are growing grain in their fields, and your Majesty, you only need to give an order to let the areas with a lot of production transport some grain to the local area and sell it at a low price, so that their grain will not be sold at all, and if they don't get money, they will quickly become poor, because they need salt, iron, and many other things of life, and they need money to buy these things.

In the future, when you encounter such disobedient local powers, you can use this method to rectify them. ”

"Economic sanctions, this policy, this policy ······"

Li Shimin wanted to say a bad word, but he felt that it was inappropriate, because this was a means he would use to deal with others in the future, but it was wonderful! It's really bad.

This is the same as the grain price war that broke out in Hongzhou before, using grain to directly impact the market, and when the imperial court has more materials, there is no need to play false like before, you grow mulberry hemp, I use ten times the mulberry hemp, sell it at a lower price, so that your mulberry hemp can't be sold, you grow grain, I use ten times the grain, so that your grain can't be sold, since you dare not listen to the imperial court, don't blame the imperial court for using means against you.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the minister, you can send Zhengming as an envoy to Jingxiang to recruit those water bandits, as for this Yangtze River waterway transfer company! If it can really be opened, the minister also plans to join a share. ”

Fang Xuanling was not involved in a lot of business before, this time, he couldn't miss the opportunity, if this waterway transfer company has the ability to communicate with the world's goods, then it will definitely be a business that can make a lot of money.

Just as Sun Xiangfu was about to be polite, and then agreed to come down, Li Shimin hurriedly interjected, "Don't have too many royal families, it's good to account for seven achievements, and the rest, Zhengming, a few of you will look at it!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu wanted to cover his forehead very much, but it was all seven, not more? Do you know how much money you need to pay for 70% of the people?
