Chapter 427: The Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Second Update)

"This person will definitely not be with us all the way, but you just need to remember one thing, the enemy of the enemy is our temporary friends, no matter what, in this Xianyang City, he will never succeed without us, and we will not be able to succeed without him."

At this time, Hu Hai was no longer the Hu Hai who was cowering in Xianyang Palace and never dared to show his true face, he looked at Qi Yi with a delicate face in front of him, and his eyes showed a calmness and wisdom that Qi Yi had almost never seen before.

Qi Yi even couldn't believe it, this was the Hu Hai she had seen before, but she knew that she had woken him up from his slumber, whether it was right or wrong could only be tested by time.

After such a conversation, Hu Hai and Qi Yi did not act rashly, they did not inquire about any news about the rumors, and still did not go out of the door of their own mansion.

After putting his energy into this matter for a while but without results, Yinggao inevitably pulled his energy out of this matter.

Daqin is so big, there are really a lot of things he needs to solve and deal with, and this matter, although it is a matter of rat feces spoiling a pot of soup, but Yinggao also knows that as long as this rat keeps hiding in the hole and does not come out, even if he has the ability to go to the sky, there is nothing he can do.

So he could only continue to hand over this matter to Cao Shen, and he no longer paid attention to it, because in Fusu's reply to himself, Fusu had already said that in a maximum of one or two months, Guilin and Xiangjun would fall into the hands of Daqin.

After winning Guilin and Xiangjun, two counties that cover a large area, plus Yelang, who was taken down by Han Xin and Peng Yue before, as soon as these places are connected, it directly makes the territory of Daqin a full half circle.

After the territory expanded, Yinggao had to start to solve a problem, that is, the uneven distribution of the population of the various counties of Daqin.

Yelang before, and now the newly obtained Xiang County and Guilin County, and even the two counties of Bashu, which are not far from Yelang, are quite sparse because of the difficult roads and remote location.

It is precisely because of the sparse population and lofty mountains in these places that it will become Xiang Yu's passage into the Xiongnu, and later it will also become the base for Liu Bang to lead the army to resist Daqin, although these did not have much impact on Yinggao in the end, but Yinggao of course knows that if these places are not good for development, it will not be beneficial to Daqin.

And one of the most important reasons for this is that the capital of Daqin is Xianyang, and Xianyang is not in the center of Daqin, but in the west of Daqin.

Ying Gao knew that Hangu Pass was the last line of defense of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, but now that Great Qin has unified the Central Plains, the existence of Hangu Pass is almost unnecessary, and if he still has been hoarding a lot of troops in Hangu Pass, it will not play any role except for making the people of the other six countries feel that they are not really Great Qin people.

So after pondering alone for a while, Yinggao summoned several of his henchmen to his main hall alone, and proposed that he wanted to do it for a long time, but he endured it, knowing that the current thing is immigration.

In the more than a year when there was no war, Yinggao conducted a comprehensive census of Daqin's household registration, and according to the results reported by various counties and counties this time, the population of Daqin has increased by more than one million compared to when Yinggao first ascended the throne, although these increases are less than one-twentieth of the total population of Daqin, but it is also a result that makes Yinggao quite excited.

According to Xiao He's collation, the reasons for the substantial increase in population in recent years are diverse, there are many previous black households who have an identity because of Yinggao's several amnesties, because of the decrease in forced labor, there are fewer people who die on the way to forced labor, and there is no war, and there are many more children born than before.

What Yinggao values more is, of course, the rise in the birth rate of Daqin, the land of Daqin is extremely vast, and the population is still very small compared to the land, and they are concentrated in several relatively wealthy counties.

Of course, there are historical reasons for this situation, not that the land of Bashu and Guilin and Xiangjun could not cultivate grain, but because there was no decent national occupation in these places during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which caused the current situation, and it is also the reason why Yinggao has the confidence to immigrate

"Immigration? Your Majesty, this matter should be cautious, before the First Emperor only carried out a few small-scale migrations within the scope of Great Qin, and in the end the people complained, and now the prestige of the monarch in the hearts of the people of Great Qin has just been established, and this matter needs to be cautious. ”

This time, after Yinggao brought up this matter, it was Xiao He who first questioned it.

The immigration of the First Emperor mentioned in Xiao He's mouth was caused by the previous incident of Ying's confusion and guarding, and the scope of immigration at that time was not large.

However, this practice of forcing the people to leave their homes where they have lived for several generations still makes many people resentful, plus many people died of fatigue on the way to migrate, and later when the whole country rebelled against Qin, it is said that almost all the people who were emigrated rebelled, which is undoubtedly a major lesson in Xiao He's heart.

After Xiao He's words came out, Yinggao looked at the other people around him, although they didn't talk much, but Yinggao knew that what they were thinking in their hearts should be similar to what Xiao He was thinking in his heart, but he was afraid that Yinggao would not have face if he said too much, so he endured it and didn't say it.

"Then can the left minister know, why did the people who were relocated to other places turn against Qin in the first place?"

"The people of Daqin attach great importance to their homeland, and the king should know that even though almost all the borders outside the Great Wall are occupied by the Xiongnu, and there are still many villages scattered outside the Great Wall, they naturally know the danger of the Xiongnu, but they are still reluctant to move to the Great Wall, which is enough to explain the reason for this matter."

Obviously, Xiao He's reason is very sufficient, as soon as the words fell, several people next to him nodded again and again, Ying Gao didn't have any eager expression when he saw such a situation, the reason why he called these people here was to persuade them, otherwise maybe Ying Gao would have announced this matter directly in the court.

"What Zuo Xiang said is reasonable, but if I can reduce some servitude and taxes for the people who are willing to move, will anyone be happy to go to Bashu or Guilin and Xiangjun?"

"Some tax and conscription relief? If this is the case, I am afraid that some people who are not living well in various places can be moved, but how much change can these people bring to these counties? ”

Yinggao knew that Xiao He was really clear about the foundation of various counties, including Xiangjun and Guilin, which he had just beaten down, although these two counties had long been divided into the territory of Daqin by the First Emperor, and they had a good name, but these two places were really just received by Fusu into the territory of Daqin, and it really didn't matter if they were given to Daqin before.

In such a situation, the population gap between Xiangjun and Guilin is quite large, and it is not something that a small favor like Yinggao can settle at all.

Of course, Xiao He knew this, so after Yinggao said the previous strategy, he still shook his head with a solemn expression, he could vaguely know Yinggao's purpose of wanting to relocate the people of Great Qin, but the cautious Xiao He thought that now was not the time, and for Daqin's thriving national strength now, it was really unnecessary to relocate.

There is another thing that Xiao He didn't say, that is, although this conscription can give them some reductions, it can't be exempted from all of them.

Today's Great Qin, although there is no task of building any palaces and imperial tombs, but the construction of straight roads has never stopped, coupled with the manufacture of a large number of warships in the south, these require a lot of manpower, if you say that it is avoided, the consequences are unimaginable.

After listening to Xiao He's rebuttal, Yinggao was still not angry, and the smile on his face became even thicker, obviously, Xiao He was not raising the bar with him, but saying the real possible problems in his thoughts.

"Then I don't know what about my title of Great Qin? In the past two years, because there has been no war in Daqin, almost no one in the army can rely on military merits to obtain the title of Daqin, so I have decided that this matter of moving people will be linked to the reward of the title, I don't know what the princes think? ”

As soon as everyone heard the word title, their faces all showed expressions of surprise, the title of the twentieth level of Great Qin, in the eyes of the old Qin people, it was very sacred, and it was all exchanged for the blood of the soldiers who didn't know how much, and now Yinggao actually said that he wanted to use this title as a bait to let the people of Great Qin emigrate, I have to say that it is a bit ridiculous in the eyes of some old Qin people.

Sure enough, it was not Xiao He who stood up to refute this time, but Meng Yi.

"Your Majesty, Daqin's military exploits were shot down by the soldiers with the heads of the enemy, how can they be easily given to people who do not have any military exploits, if so, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

Although Meng Yi has been an official in the court of Great Qin for many years, he also came out of the battlefield in his early years, and as an old Qin nobleman, he still has a lot of arrogance in his bones.

Therefore, the military merits obtained through migration alone are indeed disrespectful to the title of Great Qin in his opinion, but because he is facing the emperor of Great Qin, he does not dare to say it explicitly.

Ying Gao looked at this situation, and said in his heart that this was originally going to announce a decision, but this time it was good, and he became a group of Confucians.

But he knew that if he wanted to carry out this matter in the entire land of Great Qin, it was necessary to convince these people, and to put it bluntly, it was for the good of Great Qin, so he could only persuade patiently, and he couldn't just crush it.

"Tai Lieutenant, don't worry, as I said before, there are many conditions, that is, the people who have migrated to these counties, if someone in the family joins my Great Qin army in the future, this person who joins the army can directly obtain the first level of my Great Qin, Gongshi. If no one joins my Great Qin's monarch, this matter will be considered to be abandoned, I don't know what Taiwei thinks of this? ”

"This ......"

The old Qin people are rarely as troublesome as Yinggao, Yinggao's words are a bit necessary for Meng Yi to react for a while, so he didn't give his answer immediately, but Xiao He and Chen Ping, who reacted relatively quickly next to him, all showed a bright feeling, obviously, what Yinggao said this time was something they didn't expect.

"In this way, not only can I encourage these migrants to join the army when I recruit troops in the Great Qin, but also let those people who have not been able to be recruited have more children, which is really a good thing to kill one stone!"

The one who said this was Chen Ping, who had been standing next to him honestly before, and he had almost the same idea as Xiao He and Meng Yi before, but now when he heard Yinggao say about the title, he finally knew Yinggao's true purpose, and he still admired Yinggao for coming up with such a quid pro quo, although he said that he was still very smart on weekdays, but compared with Yinggao's head, it was still a step behind.

"If it is true as what the king said, we will rely on the king's dispatch!"

This time, Meng Yi can be regarded as having already reacted a little, he knows that since Yinggao has already said this, it must have thought of a foolproof strategy in his heart, and these words of several of them can be regarded as forcing Yinggao's perfect strategy out.

As for the issue of titles, as long as these people must enter the army, Meng Yi will not have any doubts, because Daqin's official positions and titles will not be hereditary, especially those low-level titles, although a duke will be given a hectare of land according to Daqin's title regulations, a servant, a house, and a year of fifty stone of grain, but once this person dies in the army, these things will be gone.

Therefore, Yinggao's idea effectively prevents someone from wanting to enjoy life at home with peace of mind after winning this title, which is obviously impossible, if you want to enjoy life at home, it is not impossible, at least one person in your family must fight for Daqin on the battlefield, right?

"Okay, since this is the case, this matter will be decided for the time being, and in three days, I will announce the execution of this matter in the court!"
