Chapter 57: The Outcast

By the time the displacement was rampant, poverty had become widespread.

When Liu Xun had not yet ascended the throne as emperor, he had visited Guanzhong, and only then did he have a clear understanding of the people at the lowest level.

Thinking of the big men in the southeast who shouted for survival in the flood, and then thought about sitting in Ganquan Palace to escape the summer, confessing and blaming themselves.

Because Liu Xun knew that once the displaced people became a disaster and poverty became a common phenomenon, this indicated that the Han family would enter a period of chaos.

In the later generations of Wang Mang's period, all the four sides were hungry, cold and poor, starting as thieves, gathering a little, often thinking about the year, and having to return to the village, although tens of thousands, did not dare to have a little city, turned to plunder and seek food.

When Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, there was frequent hunger, and the people were displaced to the valley, as for Yongjia, the funeral was very large, and to the east of Yongzhou, there were many people who were hungry, and they were innumerable, and finally caused the disaster of the displaced people to make trouble.

In the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the people were poor, their financial resources were exhausted, they were unable to freeze and starve when they lived in peace, and they were in a hurry to die, and they had to prolong their lives when they plundered, so the famous Wagangzhai was born.

In the last years of Tang Xizong, there was a great drought in the world, and the thieves in the world rose up, all because of hunger and cold, heavy taxes and heavy labor, the people abandoned the fields and did not plough, the thieves disturbed the people, the countryside was strong and strong, gathered the poor people, and the chaos was caused by the breaking of six states for 50 years, and two million civilians died.

Liu Xun recalled that all the records of the displaced people in the history books shocked him into a cold sweat, and all the above historical data show that most of the people who are in trouble because of poverty are displaced people, and most of the displaced people are landless peasants, and the main force of the rebellion has now been gathered, just a small flame is missing!

And these homeless people have no money and life, and their lives are unstable, they have never tasted the joy of life, and the pain of death is not necessarily more than now.

The outcasts are the most willing to take risks, in the life of nine deaths, suddenly above the clouds, they disperse without any power, but if they are in groups, they will burst out with a huge destructive power that destroys everything.

The gentry were afraid to loot their property, and the honest peasants were afraid of their common people, and then they would become outsiders in China, and they would become a huge force that could dominate the world.

After the destruction of the countryside, the central government because of the reduction of land taxes, the finances gradually dried up, and had to use harsh taxes to scrape the people to maintain the central finance, which was an extreme program to quench thirst, but in the end the burden still fell on the peasants, and then the result was that the peasants joined the exiles.

This is a deadly and unsolvable cycle of death, the landed peasants become landless vagrants, and the landless vagrants go elsewhere to continue to plunder the landed peasants, and in the end, when the number of displaced people reaches a certain number, they begin to devour the dynasty, and such a dynasty will come to an end, and finally be replaced by other forces, and then continue to start a new round of the cycle of death, begin to redistribute, and wait until one or two hundred years later, continue to start the game.

Less than seventy years later, the Green Forest Red Eyebrows Uprising, the Yellow Turban in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Liukou of the Two Jin Dynasty, Dou Jiande of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Heimin, Wang Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty, and Huang Chao.

These famous heroes are the leaders of the displaced people, and the southeastern displaced people are also lacking a leading figure, once the displaced people have a leading figure, they will begin to be unstoppable, out of control, they will make every central financial exhaustion, and the continuation of the dynasty will be cut off immediately.

And the data reported in the entire southeastern counties gave Liu Xun a headache.

Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou have 22 counties under their jurisdiction, and they are already in danger in the book.

Qingzhou alone has been counted that there are at least 1.7 million landless displaced people scattered among the eight counties and three countries in Qingzhou.

This is not the most serious area, there are more than 94,000 households in Linzi City, the capital of Qi State, and there is no real estate in the Qi people's households, although Linzi City has a developed handicraft industry, but this number is still too much.

Jinan County is even more magical, the whole county has only more than 21,000 households in the Qi people's households, looking at the county guard's resume, sure enough, Gu Liang students!!

This gang of scumbags, when the chariot general Zhang Anshi sent a report, Liu Xun was like destroying this school humanely, or Han Zeng reminded himself that the relationship between Gu Liang and his grandfather Liu Ju, he had to endure it, but now I didn't expect that the disciples of the Gu Liang school are really all over the world, and this time they must be completely solved.

Suppress your anger and continue to look down, Gaomi and Jiaodong have developed over the years, at least in the report, there are only 3,000 landless displaced people in the two countries combined.

Yangzhou is even more erosive, with at least 160,000 landless people in Huiji County and Yuzhang County combined, who have never registered their own land.

Judging from the number of registered land in the county, Yuzhang County, the capital of the old Wu State, has not even been as much as Liu Bi when it was after decades of development.

This problem must be solved, the Chinese civilization has been around for thousands of years, but the progress of agricultural civilization is only a short two hundred years, and the Chinese people only began to use chemical fertilizers on a large scale after 1956 in New China.

Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the number of Han landlords and solve the problem of land use law.

Mencius said during the Warring States Period: "Those who have permanent production, have perseverance, and the way to govern the country is to make the people have their own industries........

Today, millions of people in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou have no land, are exiled in the market, born in banditry, and travel back and forth between counties and counties, and even thieves and homeless people can walk casually between the market and officials in broad daylight, and the local officials dare not speak out to stop them.

The "Shen Ming Law" promulgated by Emperor Xiaowu directly became a dead letter.

The Shen Ming Law was issued by Emperor Liu Che of Xiaowu in the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, and it was a strict law to restrict the excessive number of thieves in the Qilu region.

According to this decree, if the group of thieves does not find out, and those who find out and catch the full product will be killed if they are less than 2,000 stones.

Simple and crude laws, simple and crude to the extreme.

There are thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, and those who are not discovered by the local government officials have not been discovered, those who have not been exterminated have been discovered, and those who have been exterminated but the number of thieves killed is not up to the standard, and those who have not been killed will be killed from less than 2,000 stone to those who have no quality.

It is not difficult to find that this set of laws draws on the valuable successful experience of the Shang monarchs, because the entire Qin state to the Qin Dynasty, since the Shang monarchs changed the law, they eliminated thieves and determined the responsibilities of local officials.

Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che just picked up people's teeth and copied according to the book.

The period of time that this "Shen Ming Law" played a role in the Han Dynasty was very short, and the effect was not very significant.

The main problem is that times have changed!

The thieves of Qilu themselves are the local heroes, and the scholars and landlords jointly support and persecute them, which is the result of deliberate creation by people with intentions.

Therefore, this law did not have any effect, and even because of this law, the Han family completely lost the actual control of the three states of Qingxuyang.

Because before this law was introduced, the local officials in the three prefectures of Qingxu and Yang were still sparing no effort to eliminate the thieves in their own jurisdictions, and they were still cracking down on the powerful with ulterior motives.

However, after Emperor Wu promulgated this law, the magistrates completely gave up the management of thieves for the sake of their own lives and futures.

So up and down, they turned a blind eye to thieves and homeless people, and it was not until this cover could not be covered that it was reported to Chang'an.

Now the officials in the three prefectures of Qingxu and Yang are unwilling to manage, dare not manage, or even refuse to manage. Who knows that after taking charge, his official position will not be guaranteed!

Now there are more and more displaced people in the three states, and most of them have even joined the bandits in order to survive, and outside the main cities of the three states, there is no official force to deter the place, you will see a large number of bandits.

Even in some remote county towns, bandits and homeless people can unscrupulously walk through the streets and alleys, openly appearing in front of markets and government offices.

The entire ranks of displaced people have begun to revolt against everything, and the nobles, landlords, and scholars who once thought they could control these people began to reap the consequences, completely losing control of everything, and even began to report that local officials and nobles were killed......
