Chapter 531: Methods for Dealing with the Displaced People

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The summer heat disappears, the weather becomes cooler, the autumn wind blows across the earth in September, the grass and trees are yellow, the leaves are all over the ground, and the earth gradually becomes depressed.

Three months is not long, but it is not short.

During this time, the struggle in the Chang'an court intensified.

Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng are all caught in the whirlpool of power struggles, intriguing with each other. When the soldiers were not restrained, they went about causing chaos and plundering to the cause of the people. It's a pity that the unscrupulous robbery of the Xiliang soldiers did not attract the attention of Fan Chou and others, who were immersed in supreme power and could not extricate themselves.

On September 14, the court assembled.

In the main hall, the generals under Fan Chou's command advised the emperor to ask the emperor to crown Fan Chou as a general and a lieutenant of the division on the grounds of Fan Chou's hard work and high achievements, and to give Fan Chou the right to open the mansion.

Not only that, but also let Fan Chou open the mansion and fake the festival, and was named the Marquis of Chiyang, and a series of rewards are dizzying.

Among these officials, the chariot generals, the Kaifu and the commanders were very important.

After He Jin was killed, there was no general and hussar general in the court, as the saying goes, there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, there is no general and hussar general, Fan Chou's chariot general is the biggest military position, the commander of the military generals. And 'opening the mansion' means that Fan Chou can have his own team and have his own small court.

Fan Chou's power was independent of the imperial court and not bound by the emperor.

Si Lixiao Wei is responsible for supervising the hundred officials of Chang'an and the three auxiliary (Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, right Fufeng), Sanhe (Hedong, Hanoi, Henan) and the seven counties of Hongnong.

Historically, when Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven into the Xu Capital, he served as the captain of the school. It can be seen that the captain of the division is very important, and the official position of the captain of the division is higher than that of the general assassination.

Fan Chou has these three rights, plus the 'fake festival', it can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Compared with Fan Chou, the rest of the generals of the Xiliang Army were worse.

Zhang Ji was the rear general, the Marquis of Meiyang; Li Meng is the right general, the marquis of ten thousand years; Yang Ding was the general of Zhendong and the Marquis of Pingyang; Wang Fang is the general of Zhennan and the Marquis of Anding; Zhang Xiu is the general of Zhenxi and the marquis of Beidi.

All the generals have been promoted.

The generals, officials and positions of the Western Liang Army have soared significantly, becoming giants on the powerful side.

With such a distribution, although every general has been promoted, Fan Chou's power is too great, which makes Zhang Ji and Li Meng a little dissatisfied. However, Fan Chou's ability is better than the two, which also makes the two helpless. Although the three of them are intrigued, constantly appointing cronies as officials, and fighting for power and profit, they have not yet torn their faces and fought hard.

There is a fire at the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond.

Fan Chou, Li Meng, Zhang Ji and others fought for power and profit, and without restraining the Xiliang soldiers under their command, the people would be miserable. Hundreds of people have been ruined and have had to leave their homes.

In the past few months, the people of Chang'an and the surrounding areas have moved their families to Yizhou.

The reason for this is that Wang Can reclaimed wasteland in Yizhou, set up a porridge shed, and changed the tax of the people of Yizhou to 15 taxes and 1, reducing the taxes collected.

When this measure was promulgated, it immediately attracted countless people to Yizhou.

When Wang Can was in charge of Hanzhong, he exempted all taxes because the money and food at that time were enough to support the operation of the Hanzhong government and army soldiers. However, after Wang Can took charge of Yizhou, there were eight more counties, and the population increased several times, and it was no longer feasible to reduce all taxes. The operation of the Yizhou government and the supply of food for the army required a lot of financial support, so Wang Can could only pay fifteen taxes and one method.

This approach can be regarded as a relatively compromise approach.

In fact, the fifteenth tax is already a very low tax. Compared with ten taxes and one tax, five taxes and one tax, or even higher taxes, it is enough for the displaced people and ordinary people around Yizhou to come and run.

When the number of people increased, many problems arose.

It is already autumn, and after the spring ploughing season, it is impossible to grow grain on the reclaimed wasteland, and we can only wait for the spring of the next year to grow crops.

In this way, Wang Can must be responsible for the livelihood of the people who entered Yizhou. These exiled people are penniless and homeless, not only do Wang Can send people to settle them down and let them have a place to live, but also be responsible for the life of autumn and winter and even the spring and summer of the next year, all of which require Wang Can's support so that the people can survive a year.

However, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people suddenly poured into Yizhou, and the pressure was very high.

These homeless people are a double-edged sword, and if they are handled well, they will be of great benefit to Wang Can. However, if it is not handled well, there is a high risk of riots, or mutinies. If this happens, Yizhou's measures to rein in displaced and fugitive people will not work, but will hinder Yizhou's development.

Cheng Yu is in charge of Yizhou's internal affairs, although Cheng Yu has recruited a lot of internal affairs talents and let them all participate in the handling of Yizhou's internal affairs, but there are too many things like snowflakes and they are very busy.

Cheng Yu looked anxious and hurried to the state pastor's mansion.

He was an old acquaintance of the State Governor's Mansion, and without inspection, he went directly into the hall and waited for Wang Can in the hall. Not long after, Wang Can came to the hall, he saw Cheng Yu's eager expression, and asked, "Zhong Degong, so eager, what happened?" ”

Cheng Yu looked solemn, nodded and said: "Lord, Yizhou has gathered countless displaced people during this time, and the displaced people in the territory have exceeded the upper limit that Yizhou can bear. Therefore, please ask the lord to order the closure of the checkpoint and prohibit the displaced people from entering Yizhou. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he fell into deep thought.

When the three kingdoms were at war, the princes competed not only in the battle of the generals, the duel of the strategists, but also the comparison of the people under their jurisdiction. Whoever has more people will have stronger strength and stronger confidence.

The battles between the two armies were all hand-to-hand combat, and they were all bloody battles.

Such an engagement is not something that can be formed by a few dozen people in later generations, and can use weapons of mass destruction to kill people in a city or county. However, the Three Kingdoms era was a battle of cold weapons, and the more civilians there were, the more soldiers the princes were able to recruit. Therefore, the number of people is one of the criteria to measure the strength of the princes.

If Wang Can wants to develop rapidly, he must accommodate more people.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, shook his head and said: "The checkpoints along the way don't need to be closed, continue to take in the people, as long as they are willing to enter Yizhou, they are the people of Yizhou." However, it is very important that all the people must register and record the identity of every person who enters Yizhou. ”

Cheng Yu nodded, but his face was bitter, and he said, "Lord, there is not enough food, how can you help the people tide over the difficulties?" ”

Wang Can said: "Continue to purchase grain, no matter what, we must survive this year's difficulties." ”

Cheng Yu sighed and said, "This is all a symptom but not a root cause, not a long-term solution." You can stick to it for a month or two, but after a long time, you can't continue to hold on. Lord, recruiting the people is good for the lord to feed them, and it is beneficial to Yizhou. However, once the number of people is too large and exceeds the upper limit of Yizhou's supply, it becomes a burden and undesirable! ”

No matter what, Cheng Yu did not agree with Wang Can's decision after all.

Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of displaced people rushed into Yizhou, and the pressure was too great to make Yizhou collapse.

When Wang Can heard this, his brows furrowed. He thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and said, "No, the policy of taking in the people can't be changed, let them continue to enter Yizhou." Although the pressure is very high, and Yizhou's financial resources and hoarded food are not enough to feed all the people, it can be flexible. ”

When Cheng Yu heard Wang Can's words, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the strategy of the lord?" ”

Wang Can smiled, stretched out his right middle finger and gently tapped the desk, silently calculating. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Zhong Degong, I have thought about it, there are six ways to deal with the displaced people. ”

"First, when the displaced people entered Yizhou, the strong men among the displaced people were recruited into the army to serve as soldiers, so that when the displaced people entered Yizhou, some of the displaced people were reduced and a little pressure on the government was relieved."

"Second, after the people entered Yizhou, they settled down, and the government organized these people in a unified manner, allowing them to strengthen the city walls, build roads and open mountains, deepen rivers, and strengthen embankments...... These things can be done by the people, and the people pay for their labor, and the government will pay a certain amount. In this way, there are countless people who can live with their own hands and survive this year and next spring and summer, which should not be a problem. ”

"Third, the elderly, weak, women, children, wounded, sick and disabled who are taken in must be registered, and if they are unable to support themselves, the government will distribute food so that they can live. However, it is strictly forbidden for men in the prime of life who have the strength to receive food, and this kind of unearned work must be put an end to, and if you want to live, you must work and support yourself. ”

"Fourth, encourage merchants from Yizhou, or merchants from other states and counties, to do business in Yizhou, and give certain privileges to merchants. However, they were engaged in business in Yizhou, and they had to recruit the people of Yizhou to work. As a result, some of the people worked in the merchants' shops and were paid to ensure their survival. ”

"Fifth, the Yizhou officials remain unchanged, but they must be honest and honest, and they must not be extravagant and wasteful. There is a way that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and thrifty things start from the state pastoral office, and the government's expenses will be reduced, set an example, and play an exemplary role. As long as Yizhou forms an atmosphere of honesty and thrift, it can reduce a sum of expenses and feed more people. ”

"Sixth, the wealthy gentry of Yizhou have countless money, and there are countless grains in the granary. The government can buy food from them at a fair price and use it for disaster relief. Of course, the wealthy gentry who are willing to donate money and food can give them a knighthood, which is in name only, and can only increase their face and improve their status, but they cannot have real power. Well, this article can also be used for businessmen, and you are thinking about dealing with specific measures. ”

Wang Can talked eloquently, his thinking became more and more broad, and he said a total of six suggestions.

At this time, Cheng Yu was already stunned, but he didn't expect Wang Can to be so powerful and say six solutions.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath, stood up and bowed respectfully to Wang Can, and said, "Lord Shengming Rende, Yu admires!" He bowed deeply as a sign of respect.

This salute is not just Cheng Yu's admiration for Wang Can, so he saluted Wang Can.

In addition, it was Cheng Yu who thanked the homeless tens of millions of people. If Cheng Yu were to deal with it, he would definitely choose to set up checkpoints to keep the people who came to Yizhou out, so as not to increase the pressure on Yizhou. But Wang Can withstood the pressure and benefited the people, which made Cheng Yu admire.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Outside the room, there was loud applause.

Immediately, Cai Yong's voice sounded: "First, it's me!" ”

Wang Can heard Cai Yong's voice, nodded at Cheng Yu, then got up and opened the door and welcomed Cai Yong in. Cai Yong and Cheng Yu saluted, and after Cheng Yu returned the salute, they were ready to leave.

However, as soon as Cheng Yu stepped out of the threshold, he heard Cai Yong say: "First, Diao Chan is pregnant, you are about to become a father." ”

"Boom!"

Wang Can's mind suddenly went blank, and his face showed joy. At this moment, Wang Can was overjoyed in his heart, this was his first child, and of course he was worth rejoicing.

Cai Yong is Wang Can's teacher and father-in-law, so he is naturally happy for Wang Can. It's just that. Cai Yan's eyes also showed a trace of regret, because it was not Cai Yan who was pregnant, if Cai Yan's wife was pregnant, how good it would be!

When Cheng Yu heard this, he walked back and arched his hand: "After the lord has it, he is very happy!" ”

Wang Can laughed and hurriedly returned the salute.

After three months, Diao Chan is finally pregnant, but unfortunately Cai Yan and Dong Hui have not moved.
