Chapter 22 Resettlement of Liao People
Zhu Youxiao continued: "And the most important thing is the matter of the military household, I want to abolish the military household system, but how difficult this matter is, how to change the ancestral system with wording, how to rectify the division of fields, how to make it not disturb the place and be able to live and work in peace and contentment, these things will trouble Master Sun." If the military household system is not changed, it will be the biggest obstacle to improving the military strength of our Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of soldiers in Jiannu District were able to sweep through Liaodong and beat the Ming army to the point of losing their armor and abandoning their armor, this is a wake-up call, I hope Sun Shi can help me come up with a good idea. ”
The military household system was created by Taizu, in fact, everyone knows that it has now reached the point where it is not possible to change it, and Sun Chuanting changed Tuntian in Yan'an Mansion, in fact, it is an attempt, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, but Zhu Youxiao knows that it is impossible for Yan'an Mansion to work, and other places must work, and it is still necessary to examine and demonstrate more in order to draw conclusions, and then carefully and slowly promote it to the whole country, so Sun Chengzong's patrol of the border can be said to be a matter of great importance, a little problem, then it is not a small problem, and it is possible for the military households to rise up.
Sun Chengzong said: "The minister will first patrol Shaanxi to take a look at the situation in Yan'an Mansion, and then go to various places to see what similarities and differences there are, listen to the opinions of civil officials and military households, and report to the emperor together." ”
Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Master Sun can think so, then I can rest assured, don't be too detailed in this matter, the more detailed the better, the less disturbance caused by the better, everyone is satisfied, it is the best result." Don't rush this matter, take your time, I will think about solving this matter in three or even five years, plan it first, and then you can go down in one go. ”
Sun Chengzong was relieved to see that the emperor was about three to five years, he had always been worried that the emperor was young and vigorous, and if he wanted to achieve it overnight, it would be troublesome. Since the emperor already knows it in his heart, there is no need to say more about it.
After Sun Chengzong left, Bi Zisu came in. He is Bi Ziyan's younger brother and is currently the host and guest. After coming in to greet the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao said: "Bi Qing, there is a very troublesome matter to be handed over to you now, that is, the matter of resettling the Liao people in eastern Gyeonggi. ”
Bi Zisu said: "Your Majesty, the matter of relocating the Liao people, one can calm the hearts of the Liao people, and the other can make them self-sufficient, this matter is a good thing for the country and the people, and the minister does not feel that it is troublesome, and is willing to share the worries for His Majesty." ”
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Bi Qing doesn't think it's troublesome, because he doesn't know that this resettlement of Liao people is not the same as the previous Tuntian. Xu Shangshu recommended Bi Qing, thinking that Bi Qing was good at dealing with responsible problems, so he asked you to do this. ”
Bi Zisu was a little curious: "Your Majesty, isn't the resettlement of the Liao people just Tuntian to support themselves?" ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "This time, I want to reform the military system, and I am going to replace the original military household guard system with the conscription system in a few years, so I want to try it in Liaomin first." ”
Bi Zisu said: "Your Majesty, the conscription system has been implemented since Qi Shuai's time, but it has not replaced the military household system, and the conscription system knows something, does this have anything to do with the Liaomin of Tuntian?" ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "This really has something to do with it, Bi Qing, you listen to me carefully." ”
The next day, the emperor issued an order: to promote Bi Zisu to settle the Liao people in Gyeonggi, and set up a Liao people resettlement point in Qian'an County, Yongping Prefecture, to specifically settle the Liao people who fled back from Liaodong.
Bi Zisu came to Qian'an County, and the county order came to visit. Bi Zisu said: "The Ming Mansion can bring the fish scale book first, and if the official wants to settle the Liao people here, he must first find a good place." ”
After getting the fish scale book, Bi Zisu carefully examined it, and found that there was a large open space by the Luan River that was not inhabited at all, so he said: "In the place west of the Luan River, I will draw a large vacant land for me to set up a new village for Liaomin." ”
The county magistrate said cautiously: "My lord, there are sometimes floods here, so there is no one to live and cultivate, do you want to choose a new place, there is a lot of vacant land in Qian'an?" ”
Bi Zisu smiled: "Please rest assured that the emperor ordered me to build this new village of Liaomin, which must have water or a low place." ”
The county ordered: "There are also places with low places, don't you think about it?" ”
Bi Zisu said: "Don't worry, take your time, there will be a large number of Liao people here, let's build it on the edge of the Luan River first, how about the Ming Mansion take this official to see it first?" ”
So the county magistrate took Bi Zisu to the west bank of the Luan River and introduced: "My lord, the southwest and southwest of this river are all mountains, the flat land is more than 40 miles wide from east to west, and about 60 miles long from north to south, and then it will be at the boundary of Lulong County. Basically, there are no people living in it, and adults can divide the area as a resettlement area. ”
Bi Zisu looked at the quiet flowing water in the Luan River, and said with satisfaction: "This place is good, if the Luan River rises on weekdays, how high will it be to overflow here?" ”
The county order said: "It is generally about five feet taller than the place where we stand, and the largest one is said to be in the twelfth year of Wanli, which is seven feet tall." ”
Bi Zisu nodded and said, "Then build the riverbank and build a foot high, it will always be safe." ”
The county commander exclaimed: "My lord, I am afraid that there is not so much labor available to build a one-zhang high riverbank." ”
Bi Zisu did not make a sound, with the gantry crane and cement of the royal construction team, repairing the river bank is really a very simple matter, as for the problem of manpower, the emperor said, Wang Gong factory will be repaired, just start work here.
The county magistrate continued: "My lord, our county can provide some of the force, but the number may not be very large, please forgive me." ”
Bi Zisu said: "The official doesn't want your county's conscription, the official directly uses money to recruit people, you let people go down and tell me, here only recruit strong people, one hundred wen per person per day, one meal, the official wants a total of 3,000 people, but you can recruit some first, at least five hundred tomorrow." ”
The county magistrate was overjoyed, and did not occupy his conscription, and used money to recruit people to work, and the salary was so high, no matter what, it was earned by his own county, so he immediately asked the officials to go to the densely populated places to post notices, and asked the guards everywhere to arrange for people to stand in front of the notices and explain to the peasants. After registering their names, let the Baozheng send them to the construction site together.
The next morning, more than 500 people came to the construction site, and the people brought by Bi Zisu were all eunuchs except for two servants, no way, the royal construction team was originally managed by eunuchs. The Wei Dynasty was still finishing up in the Wang Gong Factory, so now it is Li Siqing, the deputy captain of the construction team, who is leading the team.
After Bi Zisu recruited people, he handed over all the people to Li Siqing, in fact, it also means to see the jokes of internal officials, there is no way, civil officials and internal officials always can't pee in the same pot.
Li Siqing brought more than 50 eunuchs, and he first divided the 50 eunuchs into 25 groups, and then each group brought 20 young people, holding hoes and shovels. Then two more eunuchs each pushed a strange cart with very large wheels and a very striking white line on the wheels.
