Chapter 590: Digging into the Corner
Teachers and students sat opposite each other and ate breakfast.
A bowl of lasagna boiled and a bowl of haggis soup is very simple. Li Jing was dressed in a purple robe, but eating breakfast was no different from ordinary people, "If there are a few flax pancakes, it will be the most delicious, especially the kind of flax pancakes sold by the Hu merchants in the Western Regions in Daxing City, which are fragrant." ”
Luo Cheng said with a smile, "I'm afraid the teacher is more worried about the exotic customs of the orchids in the Western Regions, and likes their unrestrained enthusiasm, right?" ”
"Hahaha, it's true that the orchids of the Western Regions are unrestrained and warm, but their cakes are also good. In the past, the Sanle pulp sold by Persian orchids was the most flavorful, but since you made that liquor, now no one can make any spirits out of your liquor, which has made the orchids of the Western Regions who sell liquor a lot less business. ”
"The war in the Central Plains has caused fewer Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and many Hu merchants who have lived in the Central Plains for a long time have also begun to run back." Luo Chengdao.
Li Jing sighed, indeed.
In the early years, the Western Turks controlled the Western Regions, and later Emperor Wen finally allowed the Turks to strife and defeated the Western Regions, so that the Western Regions countries and the Hu merchants of the more Taixi Persia and Fulin came to the Central Plains to trade.
And when today's son succeeded to the throne, he conquered Tuyuhun, broke the Turks, and destroyed Yiwu, so that Gaochang and other countries came to congratulate, and the emperor also entertained envoys from all parties in Luoyang, the eastern capital, so that the inns and restaurants along the way did not accept the money of Hu merchants, and even wrapped the dead trees in Luoyang City with silk decoration, which shocked those Hu people were shocked.
They all felt that the people of the Central Plains were stupid and had a lot of money, so Hu merchants kept coming, and even in several markets in Luoyang and Daxing City, there were special Hu markets, all of which were traded and traded there.
It's just that since the beginning of the seventh year of the Great Cause, Hu merchants have slowly come to less, and even many Hu merchants who used to be resident in the Central Plains have begun to run back.
"You've got a big problem for me, Shicheng."
Li Jing said to Luo Chengdao, he was going to take away more than 100,000 people from Hebei at once, and he was a little helpless as a pacifier.
Luo Cheng didn't think so.
"I'm helping you solve the trouble, teacher, in recent years, several Eastern Crusades, Hebei and Henan have rushed forward, countless people and soldiers have been levied from here, and even a few years ago, the people of Hebei and Henan suffered because of His Majesty's horse raising order, not to mention the previous excavation of canals, repair of the eastern capital Luoyang, Donglai shipbuilding and so on."
"The people of Hebei have been suffering for a long time, and the great flood of the Yellow River the year before last, the great drought on both sides of the river last year, followed by the locust plague, the people of more than 40 counties on both sides of the Yellow River have suffered from this military service and banditry. Countless people have broken their homes! ”
Several counties such as Wuyang and Qinghe in Hebei Province are extremely densely populated, with a population of two or three hundred thousand households, but the place is not large.
In addition, since the construction of the Eastern Capital, a large number of aristocratic officials began to buy land in Henan and Hebei. Land annexation has become more and more serious, and a large county such as Qinghe County has not even been granted land for several years.
Whether it is a middle-aged man in his teens or an adult Ding man, there is no place to divide.
Even after repeated floods and droughts, many people who still had some land could only sell the little land in their hands again and again, and finally became landless peasants.
If it is a peaceful year, there is no disaster and no famine, the family gives the landlord tenant land, and then does odd jobs, and the life is barely passing. However, in the event of a famine, the price of grain rises sharply, and the harvest in the fields fails, the people will not be able to survive at all.
Why is there civil unrest in various places, but Hebei and Henan are the most troublesome?
Because it is the most populous and densely populated area, and the people have the least land in their hands, when there is chaos, there will be a famine, and the people will have no food to eat, so they can only rebel or wander around.
"Zhang Jin said that after the annihilation, if the more than 100,000 people in Gaojibo are handed over to Hebei, will the teacher be able to digest them? How do you place them? They now have nothing, neither money nor food, nor houses, although it is already spring, but it is still far from the summer harvest, and now it is the time when the green and yellow are scarce, and there is a shortage of food everywhere, what should the teacher do? ”
"Even if we can survive the summer harvest, but what about later? There is chaos everywhere, and it will not be able to be pacified for a while, and it is impossible for them to return to their hometowns, and they will not be able to stay when they go back, or they will run out, and then they will become the source of turmoil in Hebei. ”
Li Jing had nothing to refute.
"You took it to Liaodong, can you settle it? So many people? ”
"Try to settle it, my better conditions than the teacher are that there are many vacant lands in Liaodong now, the original Goguryeo landlords and nobles have all been defeated, and all the land is in the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, in addition to being granted to the government soldiers and their families, there is still a lot of land left, and there is even a large amount of uncultivated land that can be reclaimed, what Liaodong needs is people."
As long as he brings people over, Luo Cheng can first engage in military tun and min tun, and collectively reclaim the barren tuntian, and when he came out this time, he also got a royal decree from the emperor.
The five sections of the frontier can be exempted from three years of rent, and for newly reclaimed land, it can be exempted from ten years.
With this will, Luo Chengcheng can let go of his hands and go to reclaim the barren tuntian.
The only difficulty is the cost of start-up, and seed farming tools are also needed to reclaim the barren tuntian, but fortunately, after the destruction of Goguryeo, in addition to the seizure of a large amount of land, there are also a lot of grain and livestock, etc., not to say that it is a barbaric wilderness.
"These displaced people will go to Liaodong with me, and then I will set up a tunzhuang, let them reclaim the barren tuntian, seeds, farming tools, livestock, and the festival will make the yamen will be pulled out, and they will also organize them to build water conservancy, and the harvest will be left for themselves, and the rest will be handed over to the jiedu envoy, and ten years later, the land they have reclaimed will be given to the tun people of each tunzhuang, and half will be awarded to their Yongye field, half of which is the mouth of the field, and the Yongye field can be passed on to the descendants. I believe that with these as incentives, they are willing to leave their homeland and settle down in Liaodong. ”
Li Jing said with some concern, "The Central Plains is in turmoil, and there is endless turmoil, Liaodong may not be able to become a pure land even if you are afraid, you want to reclaim it with peace of mind, but how can it be so easy, the Yuan clan also has four counties, and Yang Wanchun also has one county, they will not give up." If the war resumes, will you be able to keep Liaodong peaceful? ”
"If you keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, you can't keep it, this stability and peace are not obtained by asking, this time I go back to Liaodong, I am also fighting while farming, and I will definitely reintegrate Liaodong into the territory of my Han family."
Li Jing was impressed by the pride of the students.
"Okay, you persuaded me, you can take everyone away, but I can't support you with other money, food and materials, and now it's not peaceful everywhere, and the yamen is also stretched thin to appease you."
"I can understand, I don't lack food for the time being, after defeating Gaojibo, I copied Zhang Jincheng's nest and got a lot of harbors, which is enough for us to use all the way to Liaodong."
