Chapter 031: 550,000 more households

——

"General Wei Yi...... But it came to mind with me. Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of this young general, this prodigy was worshiped by Ying Zheng as a national captain during the Qin Dynasty, but now he is young and devoted to defending the country, the world knows that Qin unified the six countries in history, Wang Jian contributed a lot, but what really made Ying Zheng decide to launch a unified war was Wei Yuzi hidden behind his background to make suggestions, and after becoming famous, he retreated bravely, leaving only the military book "Wei Yuzi" to be passed on to future generations and there was no news.

Nowadays, this ancient genius is still very young, but Wei Zheng also knows that Wei Yi's talent is no worse than Bai Qi, on the contrary, there are some aspects that are better than Bai Qi, more comprehensive, in short, this is a great talent who can be comfortable in and out of the world, but he entered the WTO late, and there is a way to be a talented person from generation to generation.

At that time, Ju Xin also entered the palace to ask for a meeting, mainly to report on the governance of the two counties of Jianghuai, recently the two prime ministers are busy with this matter, and send officials to govern the two counties, and now the new law has begun to be implemented in Huainan and Huaibei counties, and the chaotic situation has been calmed down as soon as the war is over.

After the victory of the Patriotic State over the Chu State, not only the territory expanded dramatically, but another key war resource "population" also swelled sharply, and now the Patriotic State has changed the law for more than 20 years, and there are foreign populations pouring into the territory of the Patriotic State every year, and the people of the six countries of Shandong have poured into the Qin State one after another, and these people are in the Central Plains can not survive before they will run to Longxi, and after the Qin State changed the law, there is a law that all the people of the Shandong countries into the Qin are cultivated within the Qin boundary, and the land is the foundation of life for the common people.

The law of defending the country also has this, compared with the total population base of the world, all the countries have the characteristics of vast land and sparse population, and the common people have no land to cultivate is nothing more than the control of the ancient system of wells and nobles, with the change of the law of the countries, especially the law of Qin and Wei, so that the common people of the whole world have seen the hope of survival.

In history, nearly one million remnants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong crossed thousands of mountains and rivers because of the Qin Law, and dragged their families to the Qin State, which created the strong war potential of the Qin State. Now, for these ordinary people, the defense of the country is undoubtedly close to the water, and naturally there is no need to go to the more remote Qin country, from another point of view, the two countries of Qin and Wei are also the advantages of one and the other.

After the stability of the two counties of Jianghuai this time, the people who were originally subordinate to the peasants and official slaves of the two counties of Chu were deposed and turned into commoners, and these slaves not only had no problem with the rule of the country, but also thanked Dade, without the support of these people, even if they conquered these territories, they would not have stabilized so quickly.

However, for the people of Chu State, it is diametrically opposed, Huainan County in the two counties of Jianghuai was originally the fief of the Zhao family, and now Shouchun, the capital of Huainan County, was originally the base camp of the Zhao family. There were often incidents of slaves being beaten to death by turned over, and the government turned a blind eye to this.

Obviously, Ju Xin is also quite a means, first let these turned slaves vent fiercely to the "masters" who originally enslaved them, so that they will support the country more, and it is equivalent to completely becoming enemies with the Zhao family and the Chu state, which also means that they can only support the country.

However, such atrocities did not last long, and when the slaves were almost vented, the government also came forward to stop it, but there were still many people who committed crimes, and the consequence was to deal with them according to the law, and countless people were also punished by the law.

At this time, King Juxin, who entered the palace, arched his hand and said: "Your majesty, the household registration of the two counties of Jianghuai has been registered, please take a look at it." After speaking, he handed a book of books

"Done with the check? What is the size of the people of the two counties? Wei Zheng hurriedly asked, he didn't read the book, the amount of population is what he cares about, the expansion of the country is compared with the expansion of the territory, and the population resources are the key, otherwise there is a vast territory but no one governs it, not only is it useless for the country, but it has become a burden, which is the result he does not want to see.

"The two counties together have more than 550,000 households." Ju Xin replied succinctly.

"550,000 households? The widow seems to remember that the household registration of the Chu State is only 200,000 households, how can there be so many? Wei Zheng was extremely surprised and said, 550,000 households, that is nearly 2 million people, so that the population in Weiguo can exceed 5 million, not much better than Qin.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Ju Xin was also very excited, and said: "The land of the two counties is my territory, and the first task is to check the registered population. The king didn't know that the land of Jianghuai was the base camp of the Zhao clan of the three households of Chu (Zhao, Qu, and Xiang), and the household registration of Chu was only the tip of the iceberg, and there were countless black households and private soldiers, and now the people who were originally slaves were all turned into civilians because of the abolition of the subordinate system, so they naturally had to register their household registrations one by one, and the black households in the two counties were also excavated, and General Wei Yi brought back tens of thousands of subordinate farmers and official slaves from Yan Yingzhi who were placed in the two counties as the people under his rule, so as to get 550,000 households. ”

Wei Zheng was suddenly stunned, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, the state of Chu has a vast territory of 5,000 miles, and if you want to say that the population living in this land will never be less than eight million, but the official data of the population of Chu is only five million, why is this so? Now that I think about it, it is not difficult to guess that the Shilu clan of the Chu State is afraid that they don't know how many private soldiers and black households there are in Tibet.

With a population of more than 2 million, Weiguo's national strength will swell sharply again in less than three years, and the poll tax alone can bring huge financial revenue to the treasury, no wonder Wei Zheng is very excited.

At this time, Ju Xin said again: "Your Majesty, there are many people from the Zhao clan in the two counties, and there are also many people from the Chu State who are difficult to accept their hearts. ”

"How many?" At this time, Wei Zheng was in a good mood.

"Two hundred thousand." Jusin replied.

So much? Wei Zheng was surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, he said calmly: "All the people of the Zhaoyang clan in the two counties are all raiding their homes, all the money and property are confiscated and filled, and everyone is reduced to civilians. I am willing to be a person who obeys the people at the feet of the widow, and I should respect and reassure the people. But there are those who disobey...... Then they will all be arrested and given to the widow to build a galloping road and a post station. Speaking of this, Wei Zheng hurriedly added: "This time, the border of the country has extended to the south of the Yangtze River, and the vast territory must not be without a road and a straight road, even the moat will be turned into a thoroughfare for me. ”

"Wechen understands!"

After finalizing the matter, Wei Zheng suddenly asked Ju Xin: "Zixin, the widow asks you, can Wei Guo rebuild the king now?" ”

"Re-reviving the king?" Ju Xin was taken aback, thought about it and said, "Then it depends on which country the king invades." ”

"Qin ——!" Wei Zheng said concisely.

Qin State? Ju Xin was shocked when he heard this, and then he was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said to the king: "Your majesty, it is not impossible to defend the country if you raise the army again, and now the land of the two counties has increased for me by more than two million, and there is a sufficient source of soldiers." It's just that Weichen has a doubt, why did the king want to attack Qin? ”

At this time, Su Dai suddenly laughed, looked at Ju Xin and said: "Cheng is quite a fan of the game, my king's ambition is to dominate the world, isn't it too much for the prime minister to ask?" ”

At this point, Ju Xin, who realized it later, suddenly suddenly affirmed: "Wang Ruoxingshi, Wei can fight!" ”
