Chapter 514: Turning the Outside into Han Territory
Tuntian, since the former Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, has been, so far, there are military tun and min tun, but the military tun is more.
The meaning of the military tun is to use the army to garrison the border tuntian, to educate the army in the agriculture, to raise the army in the army, to defend the frontier tuntian, and to be self-sufficient. This method can solve the problem of self-reliance under the long distance and inconvenient transportation, and on the other hand, it can make the troops not waste manpower in vain when defending, which can be described as the idea of killing two birds with one stone.
When Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty, Chao Cuo had suggested that "migrating people to the real border", and when Emperor Wu did, after defeating the Xiongnu, the famous general Zhao Chongguo suggested that Tuntian should be defended at the border, and the garrison and cultivation should be taken care of together to feed the border guards. This method has been used to this day, the three sides of the Han Dynasty, all have border garrisons to guard the tuntian, all the concept and implementation of the tuntian is limited to avoid long-distance transportation of grain from other places, to solve the needs of the border garrison army.
As for Mintun, it is just that the government organizes landless displaced people to settle fields and open up wasteland, but as the land in the Central Plains has gradually been reclaimed, the land on the border is not valued by the government, and the other is mostly handed over to the Hu people to herd horses and guard the border, which is gradually rare.
The Tuntian strategy suggested by Fu Quan in the court was actually not new, and the reason why the hundred officials and ministers were shocked was because in the first sentence of Fu Quan's mouth, he mentioned the fake loan of cattle and horses captured by the Han army to the recruited landless homeless people in Tuntian.
After all, for the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, these captured cattle and horses should actually be sold by the Han court to fill the deficit of the court. Although, since Liu Hong opened the West Mansion, they don't know how much the imperial court has now, but it is undoubtedly impossible to give these cattle and horses to those landless vagrants.
After all, there are few people who are willing to go thousands of miles to go to Saiwai Tuntian, even if it is the imperial court, most of them force those criminals to go to the army. And even if there are people, the imperial court will pretend to lend to them, but in those bitter and cold places outside the fortress, who can guarantee that those landless displaced people can pay off their debts, and if they can pay it off, they can't be sure how many years it will take to pay it off. After all, fighting a war costs money, whether before or after the war, and for the Han court, it was obviously more important to solve the urgent needs.
What's more, many officials and ministers who are short of money have long been eyeing the cattle, sheep and horses captured by the Han army for a long time, in their opinion, in addition to selecting some fine horses to fill the army, other livestock should be sold for money, and how to buy and sell at that time is naturally what these officials should do, as long as they sell it up and down, their family property will definitely be a lot.
Think about it, why was the Runan Yuan clan able to rise so fast?
In addition to the reasons for the accumulation of fame for several generations, more importantly, there are the reasons why the Yuan family asked Yuan to pardon himself from the palace and enter the palace to help Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty overthrow the general Liang Ji, and finally the Yuan clan auctioned off the Liang Ji family property.
Because, when Liang Ji was overthrown by Emperor Huan's coup d'état, the Liang family's property was finally auctioned by Yuan Teng, a member of the Yuan clan, but the income was only more than 300 billion yuan, which was equivalent to half a year's tax revenue of the Eastern Han Empire government. However, all the assets of the Liang family, if seriously liquidated, should not be less than 10 billion dollars.
After all, compared with the Liang family's relatives who have been in charge of the Han dynasty for more than 20 years, and with their history of always oppressing the powerful and exploiting the people, the total family property is only more than 300 billion yuan, which is really not much.
Think about the former Han Dynasty Emperor Ai, the minister Dong Xian was favored and obtained a high position for only three years, and after the fall, the government liquidated and auctioned his family property, and he got 4.3 billion yuan.
If you compare it like this, just take the three queens and six nobles before and after the Liang family, only the dowry they got from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, according to the ceremony, they should get at least 84,000 catties of gold, about 840 million yuan, and if you add the bride price, in this regard, the income will definitely exceed one billion yuan.
In addition, there are more than 40 high-ranking officials at the level of "2,000 stones" or above, including four 10,000 households, three county marquises, and seven wives, and their annual legal income alone exceeds 300 million yuan.
Of course, the real wealth of the Liang family should be in the more than 20 years that Liang Ji was in power, after all, Liang Ji is known as the "Bahu General", and even the emperor dares to poison and poison him without any scruples. During this period of time, the powerful Liang family also developed a set of extremely efficient skills for collecting money, when the Liang family sent their disciples to wander around, registered all the landlords and wealthy merchants all over the country, and then framed them on trumped-up charges, imprisoned them and their families, and tortured until they gave up all their money to survive.
Among them, there is a man named Tusun Fen, who is famous for being rich and stingy, and Liang Ji happened to have a carriage at home that was useless, so he sold the car to Tusun Fen at the price of a luxurious carriage, the original price was 70 million, and he was sold for 50 million, but Tusun Fen was not worth it, and he was only willing to pay 30 million. Liang Ji was so angry that he colluded with the county magistrate, saying that Tusun Fen's mother had stolen the cloud thief Bai Zhu Shihu and Zijin Qianjin, confiscated the assets of the Tujia brothers of 170 million, and arrested the whole family and imprisoned them and tortured them to death. After that, most of the money fell into the hands of the Liang family, and there were not a few things like Tusun Fen.
Therefore, no matter how underestimated, even if the Liang family lives a luxurious and luxurious life, the total legal assets of the Liang family should be more than 5 billion yuan, and if you count the various gray illegal incomes, the total assets of the Liang family may not be less than 10 billion yuan. However, in the hands of Yuan Teng, the Yang Ling, who was in charge of liquidating and auctioning the assets of the Liang family, the Liang family, the royal family and nobles who had risen for more than 100 years since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only sold more than 300 million yuan in the end, which has to be staggering.
Since then, there have only been three generations of three dukes, and the first two generations of three dukes Yuan An and Yuan Chang were all incorruptible Runan Yuan clans, which completely became the first gate valve in the world at this time, and was the only door valve family that was not a relative of the emperor. Even like the Ma family, the Guo family, the Yin family, and the Dou family, which founded the country from the Eastern Han Dynasty and are relatives of the emperor, can only look up to the Yuan family from now on, so that the Ma family is very happy to marry the Yuan family, and the Yuan family marriage has not looked at the Ma family, if it were not for Ma Lun to have the hole house that has been passed down through the ages, it is estimated that even as the daughter of the great Confucian Ma Rong, it is not easy to have a good time in the Yuan family.
The reason for this is naturally that the Yuan family, in this coup d'état of the overthrow of power and ministers Liangji, on the basis of the fact that the fame and power of the previous generations have surpassed that of other clans, after the coup d'état, the wealth of the other generations has far exceeded that of other old generations. Naturally, it is not difficult to imagine that in the process of liquidating and auctioning the Liang family, the Yuan family has a clansman Yuanteng, as the host of the auction, and must be the one who will not give in, sell and buy the assets of the Liang family at a low price, and make a windfall.
Therefore, for the civil and military princes of the Manchu Dynasty, the cattle, sheep and horses captured in Xianbei in this war naturally cannot be given to those poor and displaced people to cultivate at will, and should be handed over to them to legally auction to make up for the deficit of the imperial treasury, and at the same time let them legally make a sum of money.
After all, not to mention anything else, just those Xianbei good horses are nearly a million dollars in today's Luoyang, and it is even more expensive to sell them to those places in the south. Moreover, now these horses are managed in the border area, as long as the emperor sends his own people to manage, when the time comes, first report the disappearance of some horses halfway, and then sell them to himself at a low price, and send money to the south to sell, anyway, there are many ways, it is definitely not difficult to make tens of millions of dollars.
Immediately, before the speaker and the doctor finished speaking, they just opened a column of objections, which made his words come to an abrupt end. Fortunately, Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top of the court, did not let Fu Quan give up because of this, but after hearing the "fake loan" in Fu Quan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked very eagerly: "Fu Qing has not yet spoken in detail, and Zhu Qing can refute it again after he finishes playing." ”
In a word, the courtiers who had just come out to refute were blushing, and they could only salute Emperor Liu Hong respectfully, and after saying "promise", they returned to their positions, but they cursed in their hearts, hoping that this Fuliuchuan would not ruin their good deeds.
Seeing a few people retreating, Liu Hong said to Fu Quan: "What is the plan, tell me carefully!" ”
"No!" Fu Quan saluted and continued: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Central Plains is now scarce in land, and there are many landless displaced people. Such a treasure land, if it is not stuffed with the people of China, it will be abolished, and there is also a risk of insecurity, such as the northern Xiongnu in the past, and the rise of Xianbei. ”
After speaking, Fu Quan paused for a moment and continued: "However, the people miss their homeland, and do not want to go to the countryside for thousands of miles, and are willing to be the people of Tuntian, so the ministers think about it, if they take a fake loan for cattle and horses, give them Guangtian, exempt them from taxes for several years, and make them Tuntian, they can issue a decree, Tuntian for ten years, and the acres of land belong to their private ownership. Supplemented by military officials, wartime borders, leisure farming, the integration of soldiers and farmers, then there is an enemy on the side, but also the power of self-preservation, the art of the country is to strengthen the army and eat, the Qin people are eager to agriculture and the world; Xiaowu to Tuntian set the Western Regions, this ancestor of the good style also. ”
Speaking of this, Fu Quan breathed steadily, and continued his most important admonition: "The ministers heard: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Nowadays, he is not educated, does not know Chinese characters, systems and laws, does not respect the orders of the king, does not hear the majesty of Han officials, and does not abide by the laws of Han law. Ministers are ignorant, if the Han people are widely accepted, the integration of Tuntian, the immigration of officials, the integration of the military and the people, the resumption of the Qin expansion of the territory, the raze into Xia, so that he speaks Chinese, the Han language, the Ming and Han systems, and the Han law, listen to the king's orders, from the Han official majesty, abide by the iron law of the Han Dynasty, if so, less than a few years, most of the ten years, the people of the Saiwai Yidi generation are still difficult, within three generations, they will become the people of China, tens of thousands of miles of land, and they can be the territory of the Han Dynasty, and there is no Hu nationality in the north since then! ”
As soon as these words came out, the stone broke through the sky, and the palace was full of people from the emperor Liu Hong, who was on the high throne, to all the permanent servants around him, the tiger ben under the stairs, the Yulin guards, and even the ministers and officials, all of whom showed shocked faces and fell into petrification.
The Han Dynasty has had it since the time of Emperor Wen of the former Han Dynasty, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has vigorously developed Tuntian, but no one has ever proposed that relying on Tuntian, learning from the nobles of the pre-Qin Zhuxia, going around to conquer Yidi, turning razing into summer, and completely incorporating the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai into the Han Dynasty's territory.
After all, putting aside the factor of the bitter cold of the land outside the Saiwai, with the exploration of the Silk Road by the Han Dynasty from land and sea, it is natural to know that the land outside the Saiwai is equivalent to the vast land of the Central Plains, and it is too difficult to conquer.
Not to mention the huge logistical pressure spent on each army, it is also a problem how to emigrate and expand the border after the conquest. After all, as far as the central government is concerned, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to build a border defense line and drive out the Hu people, and then to subsidize the money to the displaced people and herdsmen.
Think about it, in the Hundred Years War between Han and Qiang, the Eastern Han Dynasty ran out of the treasury, and spent more than 20 billion yuan before and after relying on the "Liangzhou Sanming" to successfully quell the chaos. If there was really money after the Han Dynasty, how could there be no capable ministers, and even the wise Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty himself, could not see the importance of learning from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, building the Northwest, and controlling the Western Regions?
In the final analysis, it is not because of the cost of fighting the war, after the government quelled the Qiang rebellion, there was no extra money to build the northwest. Otherwise, if Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty through the accumulation of Emperor Wenjing, he could have the scale of Tuntian with the wealth of "from the west of Dunhuang to Yanze, and the wheels and canals and plows have hundreds of soldiers", Liangzhou would have become a bridgehead for Emperor Han Huan to attack the isolated Western Regions.
The wife of Yuan Kui in Runan, the daughter of Fufeng Ma Rong, is also the word Lun...... Kui was silent and unyielding, and those who listened outside the tent were ashamed. Kui was not only favored at that time, but also famous in the world. He died in his sixties.
Collecting the goods, the county officials reprimanded and sold, totaling more than 300,000 yuan, to fill the palace and reduce half of the world's tax rent. Scatter its garden, and work for the poor. recorded and punished those who made meritorious contributions, and Feng Shangshu ordered dozens of people below Yin Xun.
Ji used longevity to rebuke the incumbents of Zhuliang, and to be humble and respectful of the Sun clan. There were more than 10 people who impersonated as servants, secretaries, school captains, county guards, and chiefs, all of whom were greedy and murderous, and each sent private guests to belong to the rich people of the county, and was imprisoned and tortured for other crimes, and they were used to redeem themselves, and those with few assets died and migrated. Sun Fenju, a man who helps the wind, is rich and miserly, and because of the horse, he borrowed 50 million from the loan, and Fen took 30 million with it, and he was furious, so he sued the county and recognized the mother of Fen as his guard, and the cloud thief Bai Zhu Shihu and Zijin Qianjin rebelled, so he accepted the Kao Fen brothers, died in prison, and had no assets of more than 70 million.
Rong, less well-known, Emperor Huan was a servant...... Si Li's lieutenant Ying Feng, Henan Yin He Bao, and Luo Yang ordered Yuan Teng to be the first, and if he went to the enemy, he would be punished and killed......
Excerpt from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty
The two sides in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty confirm that it was the Yuan family who presided over the property of the Liang family in Luoyang at that time, and if the Liang family's money is seriously calculated, tens of billions are not much
