Section 638 The Southeast Question (1)

After talking about the army, the Son of Heaven talked about the great court meeting that will be held tomorrow.

He asked, "Tomorrow's big court meeting, are you ready?" ”

Zhang Yue leaned over and said, "The minister has consulted and remembered all the relevant files and data of Lantai......

"The general situation of Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou has been estimated in my heart!"

In fact, Zhang Yue not only read the reports of Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou this year.

He also looked through the archives of the three states and the reports of the tri-state histories that had been preserved for the past two decades.

The situation is truly shocking!

You may not believe it!

In feudal society, the Han dynasty under the small peasant economy actually had overproduction in capitalist society!

But it is commodities that capitalism excesses.

And Qing, Xu, Yang, the surplus is the population.

The increasing land annexation has reduced a large number of people to landless vagrants.

You can't even be a slave!

Because, in order to limit the storage of slaves, the Han family mandated that the poll tax of slaves and maids was five times that of yeoman farmers!

In the case of local overpopulation, the landlords and the powerful, of course, could not keep slaves without restraint, and in a buyer's market, the sellers certainly had reason and qualifications to be arrogant.

So in some places, selling yourself into slavery even requires relationships!

It's just ridiculous! Ridiculous! But something that really exists!

Just in Qingzhou, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jun undoubtedly roughly estimates that there are almost 100 counties in the two countries with eight counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, with a population of nearly 8 million, and at least 2 million have no land and no industry.

Mencius said that those who have constant birth have perseverance.

When people don't have jobs and can't support themselves and their families.

What will they do?

Many countries in later generations have given a perfect answer - crime!

Therefore, bandits are rampant in Qingzhou, and the government can't control it at all, and it can't manage it.

The situation in Yangzhou and Xuzhou is relatively lighter, and the population size and number of landless people in these two prefectures are much smaller than in Qingzhou.

But the total is almost close to 1.5 million.

In other words, there is a bombshell in the southeast of the current Han family.

All it takes is a spark and it will explode!

More than 3 million poor people who have no land, no jobs, and can't even work as slaves and maids, in order to survive, they can do anything!

Moreover, this is only the result of a simple summary of the data reported by the local government and the Yamen of the Assassin History.

Who knows what the real situation is on the ground?

You know, what bureaucrats are best at is whitewashing peace and deceiving superiors and subordinates.

Now, the problem of these three states has developed to the point where even the local government cannot hide it in the data.

You can imagine how bad the situation really is!

Zhang Yue took a deep breath and made a brief explanation of what he had mastered and learned to the Son of Heaven, citing a large number of data and reports, and then informing the Son of Heaven of the results of the analysis of these data and reports.

When His Majesty heard this, his face immediately turned purple, and his mood became extremely bad.

"Has the situation deteriorated to the point of decay?" He snorted coldly and said: "Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, twenty or thirty counties, two thousand stones, thousands of stones, Guannei Hou, and Liehou, can all be killed!" ”

What is more than killable? In his opinion, all the clan punishments are not too much!

This was the first time he had heard such an intuitive and detailed report on the basic situation of Qing, Xu, and Yang.

Moreover, the data is summarized from what the local officials themselves report.

The authenticity is, of course, unquestionable.

"Your Majesty, the micro-minister is dead!" Zhang Yue hurriedly helped extinguish the fire and said: "The current problem in the three prefectures of Qing, Xu, and Yang is not to punish the responsible persons, but to solve the current predicament, which may not be inseparable from the cooperation with the local gentry!" ”

Before reading and understanding these situations, Zhang Yue had always thought that the erosion of the situation in the southeast was the result of the indulgence of the local powerful landlords and aristocrats.

But after reading these things, Zhang Yue knew that perhaps at the beginning, there were reasons for the indulgence and connivance of the landlords and nobles.

But now......

I'm afraid they are even more worried and scared than Chang'an!

More than 3 million homeless people are homeless, without food and clothing.

If this bomb explodes, the Han family will certainly be anxious, but they must be the ones who will bear the brunt of the death!

They are the landlords and nobles, they are the scholars!

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted in Daze Township, and the heroes of the world rose up together to overthrow the tyrannical Qin.

However, before the rebel army reached Xianyang, the old nobles of the six eastern countries and the bloodline doctors who had been inherited for hundreds of years were almost dead.

China's peasant uprisings have never been too lazy to care, who are you? How noble is the lineage?

They only know one thing, if they don't kill you, they will die.

Han Feizi said: He was once the Son of Heaven, and his death was not as good as that of a husband.

In the wave of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, the number of drowned doctors and blood nobles is not countable.

Zhang Yue didn't believe it, the nobles and doctors of Qilu and Wuchu, in the face of such a situation, were they not afraid in their hearts? Can you sleep well at night?

The officials of Qilu and Wuchu dare to sleep with their eyes closed at night?

Especially in those places where bandits are rampant, I am afraid that now it is the aristocratic landlords who once supported the bandits, and now they have also been eaten up by the bandits they support.

After all, it's not news to shoot yourself in the foot.

In the long history, similar things have always been common.

What impressed Zhang Yue the most was that the Guanning army at the end of the Ming Dynasty raised their own respect, and as a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

There are also wealthy businessmen on the southeast coast, playing with the Japanese horses, and the result is really a Japanese robber.

Just like Dong Zhongshu said back then: The strong man is a madman with a sword, and he will kill people in vain.

Local bandits are simple to raise, but not easy to control.

In the future, the tigers in captivity in the zoo were hungry, and the keepers ate them!

Landlords and aristocrats, play bandit cultivation.

How can it not be eaten by bandits?

Therefore, in fact, in the current situation in the southeast, the nobles and bureaucrats in Chang'an and the local areas all have the same feeling - hemp poles fight wolves, and they are afraid at both ends.

Chang'an was afraid of triggering a civil war, which would lead to an uncontrollable situation.

The local landlords, powerful nobles and bureaucrats are even more afraid.

So many homeless people, once exploding, they were the first to GG.

This is probably the reason why Zhang Yue was able to discover the truth from the above report.

These bastards are using some obscure language to ask Chang'an for help.

The Son of Heaven listened, thought about it carefully, sighed, and said, "How can I ever endure such a humiliating thing? ”

His life has always been life and death, and he will do it if he is not convinced.

Whether it is the Huns or the internal bureaucratic aristocracy, whoever dares to jump with him, he will pump whom!

In that year, the Han and Hungarian fierce battles were in full swing, and Wei Manchu Korea attacked and killed the soldiers and civilians of the Han family for no reason, which immediately angered him, so the army waved north, and the building ships came across the sea, and in one fell swoop flattened Wei Manchu Korea, who thought that the Han army had no time to withdraw, and Wei Manchu Korea, who could provoke in the border fortress, hung the head of the king of Wei Manchu Korea on the Beique City Tower, and went to blow the wind with the rebels of South Vietnam.

So, it's really hard for him to stand such a situation!
