Chapter 439: Promise
With such a thought, Chen Zhi couldn't help but think about the whole issue a little more, and felt that there were many problems in Tuoba Yulu's words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The biggest problem is the number of 30,000 displaced people.
The situation of displaced people in the annexed states is real.
Compared with Youzhou, there is not much advantage in the state, the population of the two sides was originally half a catty and eight taels, and before the war, the number of households in the state was only around 60,000.
The ensuing war caused the civilians of the entire state to suffer, but because of the control of the Xiongnu over the entire state, as well as the peace war between the imperial court and the Xiongnu, the road to the south of the civilians was blocked, and the road to Youzhou in the east was not safe.
When these people fled north, they wanted to make a detour in the grassland, but the grassland is a nomadic world, and the people of the Central Plains ran over on two legs, how could they run over the four legs of this horse.
So, their idea was good, but the end result was that they were captured by the steppe tribes and became their trophies.
As the most powerful tribe in that area, the Tuoba tribe became the main recipient, gathering these people from the Central Plains as their own property.
"This group of people, once they fall into the grassland, most of them will be reduced to slaves, but the Tuoba Department is considered to be the entire grassland, with a higher degree of civilization, and their acceptance of Han culture is also very deep, limited by the living environment, can not carry out a deeper level of sinicization, but at least in terms of customs, it is more accepting, so these Han people can survive after becoming slaves, and then they will be used as a working population, into the construction of the tribe, among which there are craftsmen with craftsmanship, and they will be selected, Serving the Ministry of Topography. ”
Thinking about some of the introductions he got in the secretary province, Chen Zhi's eyes narrowed, looking at Tuoba Yulu in front of him, figuring out the other party's purpose.
"Because of the reasons of the previous life, the stirrup has spread on a large scale on the grassland, but the production, as well as the iron material, etc., is still a problem, fortunately, I had concerns in my previous life, and there is no further promotion of the horseshoe, otherwise this nomadic ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to control, but even so, under the development of the times, it is also a matter of time or time, even now, the nomadic tribes with deep sinicization, the demand for craftsmen is also rising year by year, how can this group of people Xianbei be easily released to me? You know, there are only a lot of people in that county, and such an opportunity is not common, but ......"
Thinking about it, Chen Zhi suddenly thought of something again.
"The number of households in this state, that is, about 60,000, is counted as a population, not much at all, even if it is because of the war, there are many displaced people, but it is not enough to let a tribe of the Tuoba tribe gather tens of thousands of Han people, and listen to Tuoba Yulu's words, these 30,000 people come out, it seems that it is not difficult, indicating that they have a Han population, there are many more, what is hidden in this? It is inexplicable that he is willing to take out the precious Han Chinese population for alliances, and simply attach importance to allies, because this is tantamount to weakening himself and increasing the strength of his neighbors. ”
This kind of speculation made Chen Zhi realize that his understanding of the Tuoba Department and the various tribes in the grassland was very limited, and he could not know the current situation at all by relying on the records in the secretary province.
"It seems that the need for spies is really imminent, and it is needed in all aspects."
I think so, but Chen Zhi doesn't intend to be polite, in the current situation, whether it is an alliance with the Tuoba Department or getting the population, it is a means to strengthen itself, even if there may be problems with the population, but it will save a lot of trouble than the people under the name of the big clan, and the entire Dai County, the population that can be counted, is more than 20,000, compared with 30,000 people, the judgment is high.
As long as the population can come, it is not a problem to put more effort into resettlement.
Of course, the population of Daijun, in fact, in addition to the fifteen thousand people, there are many people who are not recorded in the household register, in addition to the commonly known black households, there is also a hidden population of the family, as well as the registration of Tuntian, in addition, in fact, there are many nomadic people, all of whom gradually infiltrated into Youzhou after the shrinkage of the imperial court's power, and semi-settled, and the population is no longer a minority.
However, in addition to the population of Tuntian, which was hidden by Wang Jun, the manpower concealed by the family is generally related to the armed family, because the court has a rule, even if it is a slave in the family, it must also be reported to the government, otherwise how can it be proved that it is a servant? Therefore, this part of the population can be mastered, but it is the armed family that represents the armed forces of the family, because many of them are recruited from the displaced people and landless peasants, so this part of the population has become a part that is not easy to understand.
It's just that, considering the special nature of the armed family, most of the family members still have to be reported to the government, so there are only a few who are hidden.
"Even if you count the hidden people, plus the slaves, the population of the entire Dai County may not exceed twenty-five thousand! 25,000 counties, in the central and southern regions, I am afraid that the population of less than one county, such a number, is a huge obstacle to the work of political peace, so why Wang Jun is unwilling to expose the population of Tuntian, is nothing more than knowing the importance of population, for fear that the imperial court will interfere, so he uses various reasons to cover up, to provide convenience for himself. ”
Thinking about it, Chen Zhi estimated Wang Jun's population in Dai County again.
"This Dai County and Guangning County, the total number of garrisons in the two places should be 10,000 people, and the Dai County is counted in terms of 5,000 people, and then the nationality is counted, just looking at the nationality of this Tuntian, I am afraid that it is about to catch up with the ordinary household Qi people, and then counting some semi-settled nomadic people, the total population of Dai County, excluding the garrison soldiers, should be between 30,000 and 40,000 people, but the composition is complicated."
Thirty thousand, less than forty thousand.
Such a number of people is definitely not enough for the construction of a county, and it can only be defended, so it is a bit reluctant, which is why Chen Zhi attaches so much importance to the population.
It is these individuals, and every month there are still a large number of peasants who become displaced and continue to lose, including precious craftsmen.
These contents, lightning in Chen Zhi's heart, has already made him decided, he looked at Tuoba Yulu, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "I understand what you mean, but you also know that it is really difficult to do this before the war starts, and I am also worried that in the end, I provoked the Huns in vain, but your uncle changed his mind, it is better to take out three thousand people first, as a sincerity, temporarily lend it to me, I will use these hands to speed up the preparation, so that you and I can rest assured, how about it?" ”
"This ......," Tuoba Yulu frowned.
It's not that he can't take out 3,000 people, with his authority in the tribe, he transferred out 3,000 Han slaves, mixed with some old and weak, and it is not a problem at all, but since Chen Zhi proposed it, and said that it was to prepare, then he couldn't easily mix with the old and weak, and said that it was borrowed, but according to the conditions set by the two, it was equivalent to sending it out in advance, even if it was not said in the end, Chen Zhi could not be expected to return the population.
Seeing Tuoba Yulu hesitating, Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Tuoba Yulu, you should know that I have a grudge against the Huns, but the Huns also have a lot of difficulties now, and they will not come to trouble me again in a short time, but if I want to contain the Huns, this will lead to disputes, if there is no benefit, how can I agree to this?" Among the risks, you also understand, not to mention, I have doubts about whether the Tuoba Department can come up with 30,000 people, you should always let me feel at ease, 3,000 people, but only one-tenth, if you can take out 3,000 people, then at least I know that 10,000 people is not a problem for you, and you can rest assured. ”
"This matter ......" Tuoba Yulu still frowned, today's decision was originally his temporary idea, and he had to report to his uncle when he went back, so he couldn't talk too much.
Chen Zhi hit the railway while it was hot: "To contain the Huns, the strength required is not small, even if I integrate the upper and lower counties, I have to give them a reasonable reason, otherwise I am afraid that no one will follow, if I can come in with three thousand people first, then I will be much more sure of convincing my subordinates, otherwise I will use official positions to suppress people, and they will not work hard, and in the end, it will not be useless?" ”
These words finally made Tuoba Yulu nod, and he said: "I have to go back to report this matter to my uncle, and I can't give Chen Jun an answer immediately, but don't worry, I should try my best to make this happen!" As soon as this matter is completed, you and I should be a blood alliance! ”
"Then, I'll wait for the good news from Brother Tuoba!" Chen Zhi stretched out his hand and shook it with Tuoba Yulu.
Waiting for the others to leave, Chen Zhi sat down, weighed the gains and losses, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"An alliance with Xianbei may not be successful, and it is also a dangerous chess, but there are not many forces that can be used at the moment, and this opportunity is also very rare, so you should always give it a try, as for the trap behind it, it is also relatively speaking, and when the three signs are transformed into productivity and agriculture, the situation will change, not to mention, I have other preparations."
Thinking about it, a servant came to report, saying that Ran Zhan had been waiting outside for a while.
"Let him in." Chen Zhi nodded, thinking of his instructions to Ran Zhan, and knew that he had something to do again.
After a while, Ran Zhan walked in, he waited outside for a long time, he had something in his heart, he was already impatient, if it wasn't for Chen Zhi's order, he rushed in just now, and now when he saw Chen Zhi's face, he was busy explaining what he saw, 1510 clearly.
"Wang Huo, have they gone to visit Wu Jie?" Chen Zhi didn't show surprise, but smiled: "That's good, I hope they all have bad intentions, so they are all happy." ”
Ran Zhan on the side was confused, and couldn't help but say: "Gentleman, this group of people is obviously going to eat inside and out, why don't you hurry up and send someone to arrest them all." ”
"They didn't eat my food, they can't eat inside and out," Chen Zhi shook his head, "On the contrary, I plan to eat their food, and they went to find Wu Jie, because of this concern." ”
