After Guo Rong was ordered to fill Guanzhong, he immediately wrote to the imperial court to request that Zhao Kuangyin and other middle-level generals of the Great Zhou **** be transferred to Guanzhong to help him carry out military training. Guo Wei also seemed to know that military training was not easy, so he agreed without thinking about it.
So Zhao Kuangyin, who was far away in Yanzhou as an envoy, was appointed as the deputy commander of the forbidden army and the horse army, and took his entourage from Yanzhou to Guanzhong. Because Shi Xubai is a scholar, and he is also old. In order to make Shi Xubai suffer less from bumps, Zhao Kuangyin asked people to make a wide carriage. He and Shi Xubai sat in it and discussed things while hurrying.
Che Gong and Ma Xiaoxiao traveled all the way, and the local security situation was much better than that of the Later Han Dynasty. It's just that after arriving in Henan, there are people on this official road who are constantly dragging their families and slowly walking towards Guanzhong.
Zhao Kuangyin had long been suspicious of this situation, although he knew that the imperial court had appointed his third brother Guo Rong to be in charge of the immigration work, but this immigration was a big project. Hundreds of thousands of people eat, drink, Lazar, and sleep all have to spend money, and even if the people can plant food in time after they arrive, it will take at least seven or eight months to wait for the grain harvest, and what will they eat in these seven or eight months? Not to mention the clothes worn in the house where you live...... Without a complete plan for these things, rash immigration will lead to chaos. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin just received a letter from Chai Rong a few days ago, and he is making a plan to carry out the relocation work before the end of August****** and the relocation will be completed, so as not to delay the farm work.
Therefore, seeing that the people moved westward and it was like fleeing, Zhao Kuangyin's doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but send someone to ask the fleeing people, only to learn: "The Khitan wants to go south, these people are fleeing, but the southern border has been closed, and the people are not allowed to go south, so they can only flee west." Although there are many people with the title of Jiedu envoy now, he is not a top-notch and outstanding person in it, but he can be regarded as a local leader, similar to the **** of the Yanzhou Regional Party Committee and the commander of the military region. He still read the official documents of the imperial court, and there has been no news of the Khitan moving south recently. The first thought that came to his mind was that someone was stirring up the people.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin get out of the car, after listening to the sergeant's report, and then getting into the car, his face was ** unstable, and Shi Xubai on the side smiled: "These people moved from the west, right?" ”
"Oh" Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Shi Xubai suspiciously: "How does Mr. know?" ”
"The King of Jin is quite virtuous, if he mobilizes the power of the government to move the people, it will be so chaotic? If you look at these people walking on the road with their families and mouths in tow, and how scattered they are, you can see at a glance that there is no one to organize. It stands to reason that such a large migration activity could not have been carried out by the government, and the migration of Guanzhong should be a wealthy family, not ordinary people. What's more, these people on the road are more like fleeing. ”
"Migrating the Wealthy Clan?" Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "I'm afraid those wealthy families who have families and businesses in the local area will not agree to relocate." ”
"In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had control over the land of Kanto, so he forcibly moved 100,000 wealthy people from the Kanto region into the customs. One of the biggest advantages of this migration of the wealthy family is that the wealthy family does not need to spend much money on the government during the migration process, and after the wealthy family moves away, a large amount of land they own can be sold by the government to the local people, so that the common people with a little savings can have a piece of land, which is to hit the power of the wealthy family and cheapen, why not do it? Shi Xubai said with a smile.
"But since the Hao family is a famous family in the local area...... I'm afraid it's not easy to migrate. Zhao Kuangyin asked suspiciously. Let the poor people who can't survive leave their hometowns, as long as there is a little commitment, those people should enthusiastically participate, after all, it is already miserable, and the worst can be so miserable. If you let those wealthy families with families and businesses run to a place where birds don't and start a new business, I'm afraid few people will**.
Shi Xubai fanned his fan and smiled: "Mr. Wang Pu Wang calculates that every pure money is reduced and stolen to steal the hammer and the >."
Zhao Kuangyin was good at fighting, but he didn't quite understand this civil affairs, so he asked humbly: "Mr. Shi, is there any difference between this?" ”
"Is there a general, and the difference between this? The advantage of relocating the wealthy clan is that the wealthy family has money, does not need the government to spend money, and the place where the wealthy clan is located redistributes the land, so that the people's hearts are to the court, to put it bluntly, a bit of robbing the rich and helping the poor; It's different to move the poor people, and the court has to spend a lot of money. However, any policy should be linked to the situation at that time, Liu Bang was loose in governing Shu, and Zhuge was strict in governing Shu, but they were all recognized by the Shu people at that time. That's why they are talking about the situation. Now the land of Guanzhong in the world is big, and the land is barren, but there is not a large amount of wasteland in the land of Kanto, if it is well distributed locally, then most people can basically have land to cultivate. It can be said that if the world is peaceful now, there will be no need for immigration at all. And the reason why I want to emigrate now is because the land of Kanto will soon become a battlefield. Xuzhou horse thieves are rampant, and the coast is rampant pirates, this is just our Great Zhou and the Chu State in the south of the Yangtze River for the first time, fast is a year, slow is three years, Zhou and Chu must be a big war, Chu has the danger of this mountain and river, there are Qinling Mountains in the west, Huai River in the east, but the Chu State marches and advocates attack, has always been poking the people, this battlefield must not be able to hit the territory of Chu. Therefore, the land of Henan is probably about to be affected by the soldiers. ”
"In this way, there is no such grain producing area in Henan, Your Majesty fills Guanzhong, just wants to revive Guanzhong and let Guanzhong be the backup place of the Great Zhou. Therefore Your Majesty will move the people. If the Hao clan is relocated, the Hao clan is powerful, and the world is disturbed, maybe some people will take risks and collude with the Chu State and the Khitan, so that the world will be chaotic. Shi Xubai continued to analyze.
"What? That...... Then I'll hurry up and write a letter to the third brother, lest he recruit the wealthy family! Zhao Kuangyin was a little anxious.
Shi Xubai smiled: "You can't write this letter." The general gives the impression of being invincible, and the offensive is better than the military and shorter than the civil affairs, and writing this thing now will cause some unnecessary trouble. And, with all due respect, it is impossible for King Jin Xianming and King Park Dozhi not to see this. You don't need to be reminded at all. ”
"Since you don't relocate the wealthy family, you can only relocate the people of Pingtou, but as a result of years of war, the common people have more or less a piece of land. In addition, the love of the countryside is not easy to give up, so it is also very difficult to relocate the people. Ay...... Instead of persuading the people bitterly, it is better to invite the king into the urn and let the people come by themselves. Shi Xubai smiled.
"Please enter the urn?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that this was how the rumors were generated.
