Chapter 20 The Demographic Ills of Shu Han
Deng Ai? A small official who guards straw in Yingchuan County, it shouldn't be difficult to find him. Wu Dayong responded with a smile: "Yingchuan Deng Ai, Xiaomin has written it down." Your Majesty can rest assured that when Dayong returns to Shu, Deng Ai will definitely bring Deng Ai to Yizhou. ”
"Okay." Seeing that Wu Dayong agreed, Liu Yong stretched out another finger, "There is one more thing ......"
"What! Didn't you, Your Majesty, say 'a' mission? Without waiting for Liu Yong to finish speaking, the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed men immediately began to complain, and he deliberately bit the word "one" very hard.
"I forgot about it, but now I remember it again, what? You don't want to hear it? Liu Yong feigned anger, his eyes widened, and he asked in a deep voice.
Wu Dayong was indignant in his heart, and said in his heart that the emperor was not old and his temper was not small, but he didn't dare to stop: "Your Majesty, where can I be, Xiaomin wants to hear it to the extreme." ”
didn't bother with him, Liu Yong said to himself: "On this trip, you still have a task, after arriving in the Central Plains, you will publish a wide text, which is contained in Lubu, which says: I am always happy, thinking day and night, such as wading in the abyss, thinking about the virtuous like thirst." Today, we are recruiting heroes from all over the world, and we are all trying to make a public decision. ”
Shaking his sleeves, Liu Yong expressed his heart: "The second and third sons are clearly disgusted with me, and I am the only one, and I have to use it." ”
Wu Dayong listened to Liu Yong's tirade, looked at Liu Yong again, and concluded tentatively: "Your Majesty means... Widely advertise a recruitment order......... Recruit heroes from all over the world to compete for talents. And then use it as a sage? ”
"Yes, that's right. Can it be done? "It's a bit clever
Wu Dayong didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought seriously for a while before reluctantly answering, "The grass people don't dare to guarantee success, they can only say that they will do their best." ”
"Yes." Liu Yong agreed that it was very difficult to do risky things to recruit talents within the territory of the enemy, and Liu Yong would not persuade people to do it.
After telling Wu Dayong, a big dog, Liu Yong waved him away, and he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep if he saw too much dignity, and the only thing left was grandstanding.
After Wu Dayong left, Liu Yong walked around again accompanied by Jin Guanling, and then boarded the gold and silver car and drove back to the palace, and marched on the official road leading to Chengdu County.
According to Zhou Li, the Son of Heaven sat in the carriage pulled by six horses, and with the frequency of the carriage shaking, Liu Yong picked up a volume of last year's upper book and looked at it carefully, and this has seen the last volume.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, the local county guards reported to the central court the rent, prison, and election of the previous year.
There were nine volumes of the upper book of the three years of Jianxing, and Liu Yong took them with him wherever he went after ascending the throne, and whenever he had free time, he took them out and read them hungrily. Not to mention, this harvest is really not small, and he discovered a big secret!
Liu Yongzheng was concentrating on the reader, and suddenly, the feeling of distant shaking and bumps disappeared, and the car stopped.
Lifting the curtain in front of the carriage, Liu Yongzhi said to Chuntuo, "Go and see, what's going on in front?" Why did the car stop? ”
"Huh." Chuntuo heard the words and left.
Chuntuo lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped on the scale and got out of the car, bypassed the guide who was holding a red flag and a flag, and was wearing colorful clothes, and walked to Fa Miao's guide car, Fa Miao was bending down and getting off the car.
"Captain Fadu! Your Majesty sent me to ask, why did this car stop? Is there something going on up front? Chuntuo saw Fa Miao, and he didn't bother to walk up to him, and asked directly from a distance.
"Father-in-law Chun! I have sent the guards to investigate! ”
Fa Miao looked at this eunuch who was setting up a stinky shelf in front of him, and there was a breath in his stomach that he couldn't spread, and he said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, how could the truth of people walking tea and cool tea not work on this goods. It is said that the first emperor (Liu Bei) was called the king of Hanzhong in Shu, and he built the country and the society, and built the palace and temple in Chengdu. Later, the first emperor set up an altar in the south of Wudan Mountain, that is, the emperor's throne, and the palace was upgraded to the imperial palace.
Chuntuo became the first batch of eunuchs in the palace of Chengdu Idu, favored by Emperor Zhaolie, and appointed as a eunuch, and then Emperor Zhaolie died and Emperor Huai ascended the throne, ignorant, with a very low sense of existence, and I don't think that Chuntuo is a eunuch and other people are eunuchs...... So the goods were successfully retained.
And then there'...... Now that he is on the throne, this eunuch leader has actually become a veteran of the three dynasties. However, he is obviously a man of great talent, but why is he still dependent on him, and there are still signs of getting redder and purple......
Even his dignified Che Duwei and the son of Fazheng and filial piety, sometimes need to look at the face of this eunuch......
After a while, the guards who went to the front of the Lushu to investigate went and returned, and a young scholar in a brocade robe was also escorted, and said, "Lord Duwei, this person is the one who collided with the holy car. ”
Oh? Fa Miao's face was gloomy, and he walked up with his hands behind his back and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you trespass on the law of the Son of Heaven? ”
The brocade-robed scholar, with a heroic face, had some shadows of Du Zhen and Du Qiong in his appearance, only to see him bow down, "In the next Shangshu Zuo Cheng Du Qi, there is something important to meet Your Majesty!" Please take the next step and tell Your Majesty. This man's voice was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
Fa Miao was stunned, he didn't know Du Qi, but he had heard that Du Qiong had an eldest son named Du Qi who served in Shangshutai, who was low-key and unknown. It seems that this is the person!
Thinking in his heart, Fa Miao also put away his uncertain face, and said politely: "It turned out to be Du Gonglang, Your Majesty's car is driving behind, you go to that Chun Gonggong and ask him to take you to see Your Majesty." Facing the son of Du Qiong, the teacher of the Son of Heaven, Fa Miao naturally cleaned up his bad mood and carefully pointed out the direction of Chuntuo to Du Qi.
Du Qi only heard Fa Miao's name but didn't know him, but after his eyes inadvertently swept over the cyan ribbon under Fa Miao's belt, he knew in his heart who the two thousand stone master in front of him was.
So he arched his hand again and said, "Qi, thank you, Captain." ”
Fa Miao turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Raise your hand, you're polite." ”
Staring at Du Qi's back as he drifted away, Fa Miao finally understood which direction he should work towards, and he should be close to the Du family. Of course, Fa Miao also knows how many catties and taels he has, but what about people...... Who hasn't had any extravagant hopes, Fa Miao is not yet forty years old this year, but he doesn't want to be a vegetarian meal so early, and he still wants to play a hot role in a more important position...... It's just that His Majesty doesn't seem to think too much about himself today...... This requires the nobles to loosen the soil by His Majesty's side.
Seeing Du Qi go away, Fa Miao was full of expectations............
When Chuntuo led Du Qi to appear in Liu Yong's field of vision...... Liu Yong couldn't help but pat his forehead, now that he was in a situation where no one was available, he even forgot about Du Qi.
Alas...... In fact, Liu Yong is not to blame, mainly because Du Zhen's brother is introverted by nature and is silent all day long, and after Liu Yong succeeded to the throne, he arched in front of Liu Yong without dead skin, so the sense of existence must be very low......
"Your Majesty! The minister paid a visit to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to allow the minister to board the car for a meeting. Du Qi saw Liu Yong's gold and silver car, directly quickened his pace, and trotted over. After a hasty salute, he then made a request to get on the bus for a secret talk.
Liu Yong looked at the way he eagerly wrote on his face, and understood that most of the news from Guanghan was sent by the teacher, and said expressionlessly: "Accurate!" Get in! ”
"Your Majesty," Du Qi squeezed into the car, couldn't wait to sit down, and directly took out a silk letter from the depths of his sleeve, "Your Majesty, this is my father's recital about the Guanghan Incident." ”
Liu Yong closed the curtain of the carriage, his face suddenly became solemn, Du Qiong sent Du Qi to send it to the music instead of sending it to Shangshutai to forward, which already explained the problem............ Guanghan's affairs are not simple!
Quickly took the silk book from Du Qi's hand, opened it and took a look: Your Majesty, the minister's counselor, Qiong Qi, why is Guanghan turbulent............
It took a full two quarters of an hour for Liu Yong to read the letter word by word, and then sneered: "Hmph! I know what scum can't do what people are supposed to do! ”
What is written on it? It is written that Zhang Wei cited to Du Qiong that the Guanghan County government colluded with the big families, frantically annexed land, greedily forced a homesteader family to go bankrupt and sell land, and then became their domestic slaves, servants and tenants!
And these ...... Liu Yong already knew...... Although it is not explicitly stated in the above book, the real data recorded in it reflects the problem without reservation!
In the three years of Jianxing, the counties and countries overview, at this time, Shu Han had a total population of 200,000 households and more than 910,000 people...... What a great irony! It's slapping Liu Yong's face!
In the entire Yizhou, the country of abundance, there are only 900,000 people in the vast land of 1.06 million square kilometers! Say it and believe it!
A large county like Guanghan, which has jurisdiction over 11 counties, including Luo County, Xindu, Shifang, Mianzhu, and Jiameng, has only 80,000 registered people, and if there are really only 80,000 people, why do you need to maintain the establishment of 11 counties, and 6 counties are completely enough.
So the real reason is that these groups of people, such as soldiers, officials, omissions, shade households, tenants, and southern Zhuyi, are not classified as registered at all!
That's what it is...... Liu Yong has come these days, and the biggest gain from the book watch!
This is the reason why the population of Shu Han is less than a fraction of Cao Wei, so ...... Shu Han poured the strength of the whole country into the country, and could only barely scrape together an army of 100,000 people for the Northern Expedition. With the entire country's wealth, field taxes, military service, and conscription all pressed on the poor 900,000 people, how could Shu Han's national strength become stronger, isn't it difficult to catch ducks on the shelves - strongmen!
And why is there nothing else to do, and there is a mess in Guanghan, it is nothing more than the group of people in Guanghan who did the most ruthless...... It's the most unlimited, and it's the most completely rotten!
