Section 639 Southeast Question (2) [Addendum 1/6]
To tell the truth, with the temper of the Son of Heaven, it should be placed at this time last year, he knew about it, he must not have said a word, and immediately convened the imperial military meeting, selected the general as the leading figure, and led the army south!
The local scum of Qilu and Wuchu has never been vulnerable!
When Chu and Han fought for hegemony, the Han army was able to defeat the powerful Chu army.
During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Zhou Yafu wiped out the huge rebel army with no more than 100,000 rebels, known as 800,000.
The central counterinsurgency army killed all the way, and Wu Chuqilu's rebels could only prostrate on the ground one by one, waiting to be killed.
During his reign, he cut the local scum of Qilu and Wuchu several times.
That is, now, after accepting Zhang Yue's suggestion, he began to cultivate his self-cultivation, and his temper was much, much gentler than before.
Even so, he still said angrily: "If I don't teach my peers a lesson, how can I be at peace in the world?" ”
Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister foolishly thinks that the top priority now is to solve the livelihood of the people!" ”
"Confucius said: The people are like water, the community is a boat, the water carries the boat, and the water covers the state!"
"Therefore, "Poetry" has people, and "Book" has Tang Oath!"
"There are millions of landless people in the southeast today, and the situation is extremely dangerous!"
As long as this bomb explodes, it will definitely not only kill the local nobles, but also completely destroy the entire southeast region, everything that has been developing and recuperating for a hundred years.
Even if the Han family can finally re-pacify and sort out the place, the price paid will be very heavy!
Therefore, Zhang Yue could only persuade desperately: "Your Majesty, if you want to punish thieves and corrupt officials, you can wait until later!" ”
"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and His Majesty will punish the guilty ministers, and there is no time limit!"
Listening to Zhang Yue's words, the Son of Heaven finally calmed down, he let out a long breath and asked, "Then according to Qing's opinion, how should these millions of landless people be handled?" ”
That's millions!
During the Yuanfeng period, the Kanto region was catastrophic, and millions of displaced people gathered at Hangu Pass.
The entire Han family has been frightened and trembling, and the two are trembling.
In order to solve the livelihood and production life of these disaster victims.
The whole country was mobilized.
Shaofu opened the Shanglin Garden and all non-royal palaces as a resettlement site for the victims.
The sixth lieutenant of the Northern Army, who withdrew from his camp, preferred to camp in the wilderness rather than give the victims a place to live.
The soldiers of the border fortress even took the initiative to retreat back and stop the war in order to save the reported resources to help the victims.
Even he rarely stopped asking for the elixir of immortality, stayed in Chang'an with peace of mind, and commanded the relief of the victims.
In the end, he still relied on 300,000 immigrants to Shuofang, Jiuyuan, Tianshui and Juyan.
Another 200,000 victims were resettled in Guanzhong, and the remaining victims were organized to return to their hometowns and distributed seeds, farm tools, and food.
Now, Qilu Wuchu is more than 3 million landless people.
The Son of Heaven didn't know how to solve it.
Even if all the funds and land he has worked so hard to get this year will not solve the problem!
Because, these people are not short of money.
It's not just a one-time handout.
They lost their land, their homes, and became rangers, ruffians, and even bandits.
Let them settle down again and become law-abiding subjects again.
The Son of Heaven felt that there was only one way - to send a large army south, kill all the local landlords and powerful officials, and distribute the land and wealth of these bastards to these people who had lost their land.
Then, kill all those who have been bandits.
This is the only way to solve the problem!
None of the other methods can solve the problem.
If it weren't for the fact that it was his most trusted favorite who was persuading him in front of him now, he would have moved the army south to carry out a protracted war of law and order and maintenance, and the gains outweighed the losses, and he would have ignored it at this moment.
In the eyes of the rulers of Chang'an, the landlords and powerful nobles and bureaucrats in the southeast have always been synonymous with broilers and war scum.
To deal with them, Chang'an has always used a high-pressure strategy.
It doesn't matter who you are, there is no harm in slashing it with a knife!
Zhang Yue took a deep breath, and bowed his head and said: "The minister is stupid, I think there is only one way to save this evil!" ”
He raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, and said cautiously: "Recruit all the displaced people into the Han army, organize them into tunnel battalions, and let them participate in local water conservancy construction and roads, bridges and pioneering!" ”
"In the southeast, there are Huai River, Yangtze River, water network developed, if you can build a huge canal network, connecting the Huai River, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, then the north and south will become a thoroughfare!"
This is the successful experience that Zhang Yue learned from Da Yi.
There is the Song generation, not to mention the side, the society is really stable.
Although the peasants revolted, one after another, the people rebelled, one after another.
However, by sending the displaced people to the army, letting them eat the imperial food, and letting them have something to do, in this regard, although the Great Gang has repeatedly lost many foreign wars, social problems have never become a hidden danger for the country.
The cowardly use of literature to control military force is weak and incompetent, and of course cannot be learned.
However, pulling displaced people into the army is a powerful weapon for maintaining stability.
Moreover, the cost is very low, and it is only necessary to provide these people with food and tools to meet their basic needs.
What's more, Zhang Yue also learned a good skill from Roosevelt's New Deal.
What should I do if there is too much unemployment? Infrastructure to help you get through this.
After the Great Depression, Roosevelt came to power, and in addition to building infrastructure, he even hired a large number of idle and bored guys to plant trees in the desert and carve heads in the mountains.
In short, it is very interesting.
Especially compared with the current social situation of the Han dynasty - because of the state's levy and forced labor, there is a system called practice and responsibility, which has led to the local landlords being strong and strong, and the practice of keeping slaves.
Now, it is just taking this opportunity to force the local nobles of Qilu and Wuchu to spit out this piece of meat and hand over these resources to the landless people.
Thus indirectly cracking down on the local slavery trend.
Moreover, if this can be done, the benefits are uncountable.
First of all, the more than 3 million labor force can further develop the Jiangnan area.
Once the canal network is formed, at least a million more hectares of land can be reclaimed.
These reclaimed lands can be invoked by the Qin Dynasty's grass reclamation decree and handed over to the cultivated farmers for cultivation.
This is tantamount to giving these landless peasants the means of production and rebuilding hundreds of thousands of middle-class yeoman peasant classes.
As a result, the productivity and grain production of the empire will increase considerably.
And the various infrastructure they built during their time in the army will be the same as Yang Guang's Grand Canal project, so that future generations will benefit immensely!
The only problem is how to make the landlords and nobles of Qilu and Wuchu spit out the meat in their mouths, and willingly take the initiative to cooperate with Chang'an, maintain local order, take the initiative to mobilize displaced people, enter the tunnel camp, and participate in various projects planned by the state.
