Chapter 960: Voices rise from all sides
In order to show his support for Cunxiao, Luo Cheng deliberately said that he would select three hundred Yi'er boys from the Yi'er camps in various places, hand them over to Cunxiao as the attendants in the tent, and give him 600 foot cavalry as the kingdom's pro-army.
"As for the closed households, I can only grant you a quota of 3,000 households, and you can recruit them yourself."
The fourth said, "This is too stingy, the third child went to the West Sea, and you directly pulled out a lot of people to give him, and when it came to me, you didn't give a single household?" ”
"The third child went to the West Sea, and I didn't give Yi'er a guard."
If all the princes have to be sealed, even after the last cut and this rebellion, the court still has more than 700 real knights, an average of 100 knights, then it will be 70,000 households, if there are more, it will be hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of households, so many people, the court will also have a headache.
can only let the feudal marquis find their own way to recruit and pay their own money to recruit people, so that the settlement fee for recruiting people, the expenses on the road are exempted from the expenses of the imperial court, and secondly, the people they can recruit must also be proletarian or slaves or poor people in the Central Plains.
In this way, the imperial court was prevented from directly recruiting the people to the feudal lords and damaging the strength of the state.
This account is not well calculated, and the population is still too small today.
The imperial court is also trying its best to get the population, after all, since the imperial court has formulated the national policy of great development, it means that a large number of immigrants will be sent to the frontier, and the feudal lords will have to rob a lot of population.
Even if the imperial court now issued an edict to release a large number of official Han slaves as a good thing, and also allowed those private Han slaves to redeem their freedom, the situation is still not optimistic.
Although a large number of immigrants to the frontier have brought the benefits of pioneering the frontier and allowed the people of the Central Plains to get more land, another problem is that the population of the Central Plains has outflowed in large numbers, and many people have become homesteaders.
In the past, many of the tenants who had tenants had become yeoman farmers, and they were busy cultivating their new land, and there was no time for the landlords, and even if they planted some of them, there would not be much left.
However, the imperial court issued a law, on the one hand, it was a land restriction order, and on the other hand, it was stipulated that the land owned by the landlords should not be abandoned, otherwise the land tax would be doubled, and if it was continuously abandoned, it might be forced to be returned to the official property.
Under such an order, the current landlords are also very troubled.
Their remaining solution is to buy more slaves and more cattle and horses, but now the imperial court is expanding the population, and for slaves with Han status, they have to carry out the policy of redeeming and releasing immigrants and granting land to them, which makes many people complain.
Although for many powerful officials, the output of land does not actually account for much of their wealth, but it is not impossible for no one to cultivate the land.
Fortunately, although the imperial court imposed various restrictions on slaves with Han status, it did not restrict the purchase and possession of feudal slaves. As a result, the slave market is now very hot in various parts of the Central Plains, and the slave business in Qingdao, Donglai, Lushun, Seoul and other ports is very hot.
But demand still outstrips supply.
Nowadays, there is a competition for population everywhere, the imperial court is competing for the population to pioneer and colonize the real border, the feudal marquis is competing for the population to enrich the fiefdom, the landlords are competing for the population to cultivate the land, and the merchants are competing for the population to open mines and work.
It was precisely under these needs that the imperial court now imposed extremely strict management on Buddhism and Taoism, making a large number of monks and monks return to the laity, prohibiting women under the age of forty from becoming monks, and forbidding young men from becoming monks.
In addition, it was strictly stipulated that commoners who did not hold the rank of official lord were strictly forbidden to take concubines, and unless their wives were absent, they could not take concubines until they were forty years old.
There are even new regulations that impose fines on unmarried women over the age of 18. and included in the official unified registration, rationed by the official media, if there is no object introduced by the official media for five times, it will be forced to match and marry.
On the other hand, it is the imperial court that strictly prohibits acts such as drowning and abandoning infants, and must be raised after giving birth, and it is a felony to drown babies.
For those who are unable to support them, the government should provide relief and assistance. For orphans and abandoned babies, they were adopted by the orphanages of the imperial court.
The emperor did not feel distressed to give Cunxiao 600 li fiefdom, after all, it was not a place for the imperial court now, if Cunxiao could control it and establish a stable rule in the imperial court, there would be no harm. These six hundred miles of fiefdom will also be divided into the descendants of Cunxiao in the future, and it will become more and more small fiefdoms, which will not pose any threat to the imperial court.
3,000 closed households, with a population of 10,000 or 20,000, Luo Cheng was reluctant to give it, so he could only give a sealed amount, and Cunxiao himself would figure out a way.
"Where's the little six?" The fourth asked.
Luo Cheng shook his head.
Until now, the imperial court has only officially crowned the two clan kings, and the other clans and heroes with different surnames have not yet been sealed.
This needs to be done slowly.
Anyway, the promise will not change, and then according to the titles of the marquis, the corresponding fiefs will be demarcated, and then the title will be changed according to the name of the place.
"Little Liu, where do you want to go?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu was very indifferent, "I don't know, I'll go wherever the imperial brother is." ”
"Hahaha, this is detached, then do you like the south or the north."
"Let's get used to the north more." Shixin said, after all, he fought in Shandong, and then in the past ten years, he has basically fought outside the border, and he has already adapted to the weather in the north.
"Okay, I'll find you a good piece of land at the Guanwai Ya people and seal it for you." Luo Cheng responded with a smile.
Shixin really didn't care much about where it was sealed.
He was more concerned about his inheritance.
"The third brother is fighting in Qinghai, okay? I heard that both the Western Turks and Tibet have sent troops? If you want to send reinforcements, I'm willing to go. ”
The dispatch of troops by the Western Turks was indeed unexpected by the imperial court.
Originally, the imperial court was unwilling to have any conflict with the Western Turks, although in Luo Cheng's future plan, after pacifying the Central Plains, he would definitely march into the Western Regions and open up this Silk Road.
But for now, we still have to rest and recuperate.
But Tu Gu Hun refused to surrender, and Tang Jian was a person who made meritorious contributions, so there was a drama of Daqin Ban Dingyuan, but no matter what, when things happened, the court could only deal with the aftermath.
It is impossible to let Tuyuhun go backwards.
Luo Cheng only gave more than 20,000 men to the heir, and he also wanted to limit the war to a small area and fight a limited regional war. But who would have expected that the Western Turks would come, and the Tibetans would also come.
Now the court is only staring at the Western Turks, and no one takes Tubo seriously, but Luo Cheng attaches great importance to Tubo, which sent troops to the Central Plains for the first time to provoke.
He was well aware that the war had escalated with the Western Turks and Tibetans.
