169 restructuring
It was busy until the autumn that the number of acres in the entire Qingzhou was roughly counted. The entire Qingzhou, including the cultivated land that is already being cultivated and can be cultivated, exceeds 10,000 mu.
Of course, this is the mu of the Han Dynasty, with one step wide and one hundred steps long for one acre, one step in the Han Dynasty is six feet, one foot is 23.1 centimeters, according to modern data, one mu is one hundred and ninety-two square meters.
More than half of it, as much as 70 to 80 million mu of cultivated land, is completely in the hands of the Qingzhou Thorn History Mansion. The other half can also be taxed for the Assassin's Mansion.
Seeing this data, Yang Jun, Zheng Yi, Cui Meng, Xi Zhicai and others were all excited, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, this is the foundation of the king's tyrant." ”
"What about the population, how is the population, how many, is it counted?" Although he was also very happy, Liu Bei still remained reserved and asked lightly.
In this kind of large-scale mobilization, it is naturally impossible not only to clear the land, but also to find out the situation in all other aspects, the most important of which is the population statistics.
As a traverser, Liu Bei knows very well that in this era of war, the field is not the most important, but the population is the most important resource.
The end of the Han Dynasty was not the time when the Han population was tens of thousands, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the three-point world, the population dropped sharply from more than 50 million to more than 7 million, how could there be no arable land.
What really worries people is that there is no one to farm, and this is the biggest problem. With a population, there is everything, there is no entrance, there is arable land and no people to plant, no one pays taxes, and no one fights as soldiers.
Zheng Yidao: "The number of households is more than 750,000, and the population is more than 3.7 million. It's a lot more than I imagined. ”
What's more, the household registration statistics of the Eastern Han Dynasty are simply fools, Liu Bei heard this number, first he was overjoyed, and then, he couldn't help but curse secretly.
According to the records of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qingzhou originally had more than 630,000 households and a population of more than 3.7 million. Zheng Yibao reported that there were more than 550,000 households and a population of more than 2.8 million.
Of course, these faces are about 300,000 households and 1.3 million Yellow Turban Army prisoners, and after reading this data, Liu Bei doesn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
If you want to say more, a county in Nanyang is probably so much population, if you want to say less, it is also three times the population of the Shu Han Kingdom established by Liu Bei in history.
Qingzhou Yellow Turban made a big fuss, fought for several years, lost nearly one million people, considering the strength of Qingzhou, in the past hidden population, I am afraid that the loss of population should be more.
However, the loss of population does not mean that people are dead, for example, Youzhou has accepted more than one million Qingxu population, if these people know that Qingzhou is already peaceful, they will probably be able to return some.
After completing the matter of checking the acres of land, Liu Bei also fulfilled his promise and directly went to the table and recommended Yang Jun as the prime minister of Jinan.
Not only that, but in order to get the tax-free quota, it is more likely that they are optimistic about Liu Bei's future, and they cleanly took out more than 20,000 private soldiers and troops. Liu Bei also said what he said, and all of a sudden, Liu Bei gave a tax-free quota of two million mu.
Haoqiang is actually impossible to eliminate, even if some are eliminated, there will still be other Haoqiang rising, as long as it is pro-one's own Haoqiang, it is not a big deal.
Liu Bei was not polite to these horses, and scattered these powerful private soldiers and troops and assigned them to the "new barracks". As for the sons and daughters of the powerful families, they were also given corresponding military positions according to the number of troops sent. Even, he asked them to command their respective people, as for the promotion in the future, Liu Bei did not plan to enter another book because these people were the sons of Haoqiang, as long as their careers became bigger, they would naturally be able to tolerate them, and they would not worry that these people would not integrate into their own system in the end.
The recruit barracks, which is the newly established institution of Liu Bei in various counties to recruit government soldiers, recruit and train new soldiers, is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant. A total of sixty-two recruit battalions were established, each of which recruited hundreds of recruits, trained them, and used them to provide non-commissioned officers to the army.
For the new barracks, Liu Bei set up a special military department to manage the recruitment and training of new soldiers, in fact, to take back the power to recruit soldiers from the hands of the generals and further strengthen the control of the army.
At the same time, a government soldier was set up under the history of Qingzhou Thorn. The government soldiers do not just divide the land, they must also have a special organization to manage them, they must be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and there are also various punishments for violating military law, and they must also be supervised, so that the land sent down will not be swallowed by local officials and tyrants.
The government soldiers of each county are under the jurisdiction of the county officer, because the county lieutenant and the county officer are both officials directly appointed by Liu Bei, which can prevent the situation that the soldiers and horses are controlled by the superior officers to the greatest extent.
These things were all discussed by Liu Bei with Xi Zhicai, Yang Jun, Zheng Yi and others recently. These people are all smart people, and they immediately understood the deep meaning of Liu Bei's various measures, which is to separate the government and the army, and weaken the power of the commander of the army, so as to avoid a situation in the future.
At this time, Liu Bei actually opened two shogunates at the same time, namely the shogunate of the general of Zhengdong and the shogunate of Qingzhou Assassin. Liu Bei led the shogunate of the eastern generals with the drama Zhicai, and since Yang Jun thought about Jinan, he led the Qingzhou Shogunate with Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi is now Liu Bei's first assistant in government affairs, he thought about it and said to Liu Bei: "Envoy, I know that the envoy uses Shang Jun's 'cultivation and warfare' method, which can make the soldiers serve the death force and let the people enthusiastically join the army, but there are also drawbacks. Besides, Shang Jun's method of 'ploughing and warfare' is also very strict, and only if he beheads the 'first head', he will be credited with merit, and it seems that the reward for his subordinates is too rich. ”
Liu Bei said: "Now is the world of great controversy, and the soldiers are about to die, how can the rewards not be rich." Besides, this is a wartime strategy, now the world is in chaos, first there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then there is the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, the people are five out of ten, the land is very barren, but I am not afraid that there is no land to divide, in the future, welcome back the Son of Heaven, return to the old capital, when the world is peaceful, it will naturally be abolished or modified according to the situation. ”
Zheng Yi reminded him, seeing that Liu Bei didn't listen, he would forget it.
On this day, Liu Bei was inspecting the cultivated land and preparing for the autumn harvest. Suddenly received the news from Jian Yong, Liu Bei opened it and sighed: "It should come, it will always come." ”
