Bandit problem?

Zhang Yue listened and smiled.

He deliberately did not mention the issue of banditry in the song.

Because, if the issue of bandits is mentioned in the song, then what about the Shen Ming Fa?

In Qingzhou alone, there are more than 100,000 bandits!

This means that the entire Qingzhou, from top to bottom, all officials, indiscriminately, are all guilty.

And it's a capital offense!

However, the bandits must be dealt with.

If the problem of bandits is not solved, it will be very difficult to carry out water conservancy construction and development, even if the tunnel camp is organized.

After all, you can't go deep into the barren mountains and mountains to develop when the local law and order is chaotic and there are people everywhere who are doing business.

The people will also be frightened by the chaos of law and order!

Zhang Yue bowed to Liu Quyu and said: "Zong Zhengqing Mingjian, the lower officials think that the problem of bandits in Qingzhou can no longer be solved simply by violence!" ”

"Violence can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause!"

"What's more, the bandits in Qingzhou have long been accustomed to the encirclement and suppression of the government, and the strategy they use is 'the official advance and I retreat, the official station will disturb me, the official will be tired and I will surround me, and the official will retreat and I will chase', even if the army is mobilized to suppress, I am afraid it will be useless!"

In fact, the working people of ancient times had long since learned how to deal with the power of the ruling class.

For example, the bandits in Qingzhou, especially the largest ones.

The leader of every unit is a talent!

They are well versed in the basic tactics of guerrilla warfare, and they are closer to the people and more popular than Han officials.

Basically, it is impossible for the government to succeed in encirclement and suppression.

They want to encircle and suppress some guerrillas who have the support of the people and are fighting locally.

Just ask Miti what happened to him in Iraq and Afghanistan to see how difficult it was.

Moreover......

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Quyu, bowed and said: "Zong Zhengqing, he was promoted from Zhuojun Taishou, and he must also know that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death!" ”

"In the opinion of the following officials, the problem of bandits in Qingzhou cannot be solved by military, but by politics!"

"The lower officials are stupid and think that most of the bandits are actually loyal and good subjects, but the local wealthy clans and officials are tyrannical and extortive, and the officials force the people to rebel, so they have no choice but to do the things of bandits and protect themselves!"

"Moreover, the lower officials dare to guarantee that most of the bandits are loyal and patriotic!"

"As long as we do good governance and benevolent governance, so that they have a way out, most people will not be embarrassed by the country's social welfare!"

Qingzhou bandits, or why is the Kanto region so corrupt?

Zhang Yue's trip to Gyeonggi some time ago may be able to give the answer.

Officials expropriated and extorted, landlords knocked on the bones and sucked the marrow, and the people had no way to live.

Why not?

To be reasonable, the people of Qingzhou are still only occupying the mountains as kings, or just using violence to shake off the government and do their own thing, which is really very restrained.

It is really the blessing of the previous emperors of the Liu family, especially Emperor Taizong!

Otherwise......

Hehe!

The world has long been full of smoke!

You must know that in the historical materials that Zhang Yue traced, there were even unearthed Han Janes showing that at this time, the counties of Kanto could collect poll tax ten times a year!

Many officials apportioned their birthdays, parents' birthday banquets, and even the cost of their own concubines to the peasants.

Even the thirty taxes of the land tax, which has been constant since the first emperor, have been played bad by the bureaucrats, nobles, landlords, and powerful people!

The name is 30 tax 1, which is actually 10 tax 1, and now it is not uncommon, and even 5 tax 1 has happened in Kanto.

What's even more terrible is the conscription!

Since the Qin Dynasty, the people's service has actually been a fixed rule.

Just like the Han law, people below the rank of five doctors or below 600 stone have to serve the country for one month every year without compensation.

If you don't go, you have to pay 2,000 yuan (300 in the Qin Dynasty).

However, even in Guanzhong, this situation has long been played badly.

When Zhang Yue first took office in Xinfeng, he discovered during his inspection that the government's policy towards the peasants was simple and rude.

In terms of conscription, whether you go to serve or not, you have to pay more money.

I'm afraid the situation in Kanto can only be more common and even more serious!

Therefore, under such circumstances, the people have not killed officials and rebelled, which is really a great face for the Liu family!

It is precisely based on this that Zhang Yue will not take the initiative to provoke and expand the incident.

Liu Quyu listened and smiled.

Local things, of course he knew.

Just like Zhuojun, although it is at the foot of the Great Wall of Border County, many things cannot be compared with the mainland.

The landlords of Zhuo County eat much better than those in the mainland.

Even many people will take the initiative to give relief and help to the township party, and even take the initiative to forgive the debts of the township party.

But these people are doing this just to let these people fight desperately for the birth and death of their children and for the wealth of their family.

Even so, the people of Zhuojun are very burdened!

All kinds of exorbitant taxes and assessments often bankrupt them.

If it weren't for the local military nobles and the landlords who wanted to become military nobles, who took the initiative to take the initiative to borrow money and help them tide over the difficulties, the peasants of Zhuo County would have gone bankrupt long ago!

Even the peasants of Zhuo County, who had the help and support of the local nobles and landlords, were only on the verge of bankruptcy.

The life of the peasants over there in Qingzhou is probably ......

It's just that everyone knows the truth.

However, there must always be a strategy to solve the problem, and it is a feasible strategy.

"What kind of political solution are you going to do?" Liu Quyu asked curiously.

And Han Shuo also narrowed his eyes.

I scoffed at it in my heart.

A political settlement?

He doesn't believe it, the bandits in Qingzhou can be solved through politics?!

How could it be!

"Jiazi in the first month of spring next year will be the 47th anniversary of His Majesty's Imperial Dynasty, and the lower officials think that His Majesty should give amnesty to the world and celebrate with the people......" Zhang Yue diverted the topic.

"Huh?" Liu Quyu listened, his eyelids jumped, and then he nodded violently, and said: "As the servant said, the 47th anniversary of Your Majesty's Imperial Dynasty is indeed a great amnesty for the world and celebrates with the people!" To congratulate the son of heaven on my family, enjoy the country for thousands of years! ”

Today, I attach great importance to this matter.

Didn't you see that Zhao Ponu turned over because he served as the compilation of the 'Great Han Dynasty Unification of the World Map' for the 47th anniversary of the Son of Heaven's Imperial Pole Dynasty, and his status in the DPRK and China began to rise?

He is not stupid, of course he knows that this matter can be promoted as the top priority after his visit to the prime minister.

After all, there is no risk in this kind of thing, and it can also be a sycophant, and it can also bring the relationship with the Son of Heaven closer, so a fool will not do it!

And once the amnesty is granted, the old accounts of the past can almost be written off.

Qingxu Yang's violation of the Shen Ming Law by officials in the three states can also be erased.

And those bandits can also have a chance to make amends.

It's just, I'm afraid this alone isn't enough, right?!

"In addition, the lower officials think that the imperial court may be able to send envoys to the south, to comfort the people, recruit people, and emigrate to Juyan and Loulan!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "In order to encourage people to migrate, the lower officials foolishly think that when the immigrants are allowed, they can freely occupy land in the local area!" ”

"According to the level of his title, he can occupy different areas of land, and the government will register and issue a field register, fake and ploughing cattle, seeds, houses and farm tools, such as the story of Emperor Gao's granting of land!"

"In this matter, even a decree can be enacted, following the Shang Emperor's grass reclamation order, Emperor Gao's land granting order, and the lower officials' proposal to allow the people to occupy land freely, and as long as they cultivate for more than five years, they will be owned by the people personally!"

"In order to encourage immigration, the lower officials foolishly think that the public may be able to suggest that Your Majesty should raise the rank of knighthood to all those who voluntarily emigrate, so as to encourage the common people to immigrate to the real side!"

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, Liu Quyu's breathing immediately became short.

"Political achievements! Achievement! What a political achievement! If it weren't for the presence of others now, Liu Quyu would have been dancing.

Immigrating to the real side is a long-term national policy of the Han family.

The state even went to great lengths to encourage people to emigrate.

But alas, with little success, few people are willing to emigrate.

After all, the plot of the homeland of the Zhuxia nation is very deep!

The so-called fox died on the hill, and the bird returned to its hometown.

For the people of Zhuxia, even if they die, they must die in their hometown.

If it weren't for the last resort, under normal circumstances, no one would want to go to a foreign land.

Even if it is a last resort and has to leave a foreign country, when they are dying, they will return to their hometown at all costs.

For people, hometown will always be sacred, affectionate and cherished.

Heroes like Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu are like this.

The general public is even more unavoidable.

Therefore, mobilizing the people to immigrate has been a headache for successive prime ministers since the era of Pingjin Gongsun Hong.

There is a lot of pressure from the Son of Heaven, and there are even indicators that force the completion of indicators.

However, no matter how much the prime ministers of the past dynasties encouraged and urged the county, it had little effect.

Only Muqiu Tian waited for Shiqing, and he took advantage of the Kanto disaster to complete the task indicators lying down.

Everyone else has been scolded by the Son of Heaven for failing to meet the standards.

And now, Zhang Yue's suggestion makes Liu Quyu almost difficult to press!

This is because this proposal has a strong enforceability.

First of all, there are more than 100,000 bandits in Qingzhou.

These bandits, even if they are willing to do good, the state will not let them stay in their hometown.

The magistrates did not dare to keep them, so they would try to send them away by all means - if they could be repented of.

Therefore, the local dynamics are very strong.

Secondly, the encouragement policy proposed by Zhang Yue also has a strong temptation and motivation.

What is the content of Shang Jun's Reclamation Decree?

Of course, Liu Quyu is clear, the core of it is the wasteland reclaimed by the people, which belongs to the people personally!

The state recognizes and recognizes the legitimacy of his possession of the land, and protects his legitimate rights and interests, and no one, not even the king of Qin, can take it away!

Emperor Gao's land grant bill was based on the title, and the state granted land to the people.

This is the basis of Liu's rule to this day - going back three generations, more than 90 percent of the people's ancestors have received the blessings of this law.

Many people have thrived because of this.

What's more, Zhang Yue also suggested that the state could provide incentives to individuals who are willing to immigrate to upgrade their knighthoods!

That's the key!

Because, according to the Han law, the number of fields occupied by subjects of different levels is very different.

The difference of one level could be a hundred acres of land!

Furthermore......

If this policy is to be implemented, it can be promoted.

Juyan and border counties such as Jiuyuan and Wuwei can usher in hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

His brother-in-law and political backer, Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, will definitely be very happy!

Because, only enough immigrants, his army, can have a greater range of activities!

Li Guangli recommended him to be prime minister, and the biggest advice was that it was necessary to urge the government and the opposition to increase immigration efforts for official business!

Therefore, this matter, in Liu Quyu's view, is almost killing three birds with one stone!

It not only solved the bandits in Qingzhou, but also solved his political achievements, and also solved Li Guangli's appeal.

Almost perfect!

Don't talk about Li Guangli!

Everyone else was excited.

Even Guanglu Xun Han said that he forgot to see Zhang Yue's jokes.

Because, everyone knows that as long as this thing is done, everyone can benefit!

Just like Liu Quyu, he can solve the bandits in Qingzhou at the beginning of his tenure as prime minister, and also strengthen immigration, he will definitely be rewarded, maybe Shilin will also praise him and mold him into a famous minister.

Sang Hongyang, on the other hand, can borrow immigrants to strengthen the power of Dasi Nong, after all, this is the authority of Dasi Nong to organize and resettle immigrants and borrow the means of production of immigrants.

Wang Mang, who held Jinwu, was even more overjoyed.

He already planned to seek the future first protector of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, or something similar.

And the more immigrants, the more favorable it is!

Even Han said that he could get a lot of benefits from it.

First of all, if the Qingzhou bandits can really be turned into Juyan immigrants, then he, the participant and the proposer of the draft, will definitely be able to get rid of it, not to mention, in fact, if the immigration title is really promoted, this specific operation is the Guangluxun Yamen.

As Guangluxun, his credit can be less!

In the face of immediate interests, Han said that he couldn't care about the contradiction between himself and Zhang Yue.

Besides......

Han Shuo quietly looked at the other people's expressions.

He knew that even if he forcibly opposed and made trouble, it would be useless!

Because of this, it's good for everyone!

Even the quasi-servant Shangguan Ji is now overjoyed.

If you can immigrate hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, the horse farms and pastures of the Taifu Yamen will definitely benefit from it!

Now, the only question is......

Liu Quyu licked his tongue, looked at Zhang Yue and bowed: "The strategy of serving is good!" It's just that...... The official took the liberty of asking, where does the servant plan to raise this fund? ”

Now the treasury is out of money.

Four years after the Yuan seal, the Han family's treasury was poor.

This summer's drought has dragged down the national treasury's revenue!

As a quasi-prime minister, Liu Quyu has been told that last year, the county guard of Hedong County 'went out for six months' and built a channel, and then, now the county guard yamen owes the 6,000 people three months' wages, so that he, the quasi-prime minister, will find a way to allocate funds to pay this salary!

Yes!

In the Qin and Han dynasties, there were two types of servitude in the state.

One is unpaid forced labor in the service of the state.

The other is public construction and conscription in the service of the Son of Heaven.

This kind of conscription, you have to give money!

The standard is that each man is paid eight cents a day, plus two cents for food, and they are also provided with a set of clothes per month.

Under normal circumstances, all river control projects and water conservancy construction projects belong to paid forced labor.

And it's a pity that now the treasury can't even come up with this money!
