Chapter 580: Moving Civilians, or Moving Haoqiang
Yang Jun is the governor of Qinzhou in the northwest, and Yang Guang is the Yongzhou pastor who has returned to Beijing to take up his post, and is in charge of the prefectures in Guannai.
After listening to Gao Ying relay the main content of Yang Yong's recital, Yang Jian first set his eyes on Yang Jun, the king of Qin, hoping to hear his opinions first.
"Father, the sons and daughters have no major objections to the prince's suggestion, but they are worried that the sudden relocation of as many as hundreds of thousands of new people to the northwest states may cause dissatisfaction among the local people in the northwest and cause conflicts between the Kwantung immigrants and the local people." Because the crown prince Yang Yong helped him not long ago, he recommended his brother-in-law Cui Hongdu to be transferred to the important post of Jiangling governor, Yang Jun thought about it for a while, and basically agreed with Yang Yong's suggestion.
"The northwestern states are vast and sparsely populated, and the migration of a large number of people from the Kanto region can solve the problem of having no land to grant, but it is also easy to cause the local people's dissatisfaction and resistance to the Kanto immigrants. Yang Jian thought that what Yang Jun said was not unreasonable, stared at him and asked again.
"Well." Yang Jun didn't expect his father to break the casserole and ask to the end, so he thought about it for a moment before he replied, "According to the opinion of the ministers, it is better to move a small number of new people in the eastern part of the Kanto region to the Guannai and Northwest Prefectures, and move most of them to the more distant and sparsely populated western Xinjiang, and even consider moving some of them to live in the newly expanded territory outside the Guan, so that while solving the problem of having no land to grant, it can also make these hundreds of thousands of new people contribute to the expansion of the imperial court's territory, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”
Yang Jian nodded, inadvertently glanced at Gao Ying, who was standing at the bottom, and saw that his face was solemn and thoughtful, so he asked Yang Guang instead: "Ah Zong, I heard that there are also more than 100,000 new people under the rule of Hebei Province, what do you think of this matter?" Is it feasible to move a new group of people to the outside of the customs to expand the border for the imperial court? ”
Yang Guangyin had discussed this matter in detail with Wang Shao, Zhang Heng and other Taiwanese officials when he was in the state before, and had his own unique opinions, so he immediately replied with his fists: "Before the son replies to his father's inquiry, there is a question I want to ask Gao Servant, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
Seeing that Yang Jian nodded and was speechless, Yang Guang turned to Gao Ying and asked, "I heard that not long after Gao Servant suggested to his father that he should implement the law of losing his nationality to his father and re-verify the household registration of the people. I have no objection to the implementation of the Great Suo Maung Yue in order to increase the tribute of the imperial court, but the only thing I am puzzled about is that if the original intention of the imperial court to implement the law of losing nationality should be to implement the 'uniform land system' and realize the goal of cultivating their fields as much as possible, then why did Gao Servant Shoot suggest to his father that only the uncultivated wasteland be granted to the new people? ”
When Gao Ying heard this question, she couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart: The fact that the King of Jin can ask this question shows that he has understood the true intention of the imperial court to implement the law of reading and losing nationality!
"Wang Ye Rongyu, as the prince said, in the implementation of the Great Suo Maung Yue, after re-checking and verifying the household registration of the people, with the implementation of the law of losing nationality, the original intention is to emulate the sages and implement the 'Juntian system', but because of the consideration of the Guandong and Hebei families are too powerful, if the imperial court immediately takes back a considerable amount of land from them after the Da Suo Maung Yue and grants it to the new people, it is very easy to arouse their fierce opposition, and even cause civil unrest, so I suggested to the Holy Lord to adopt a transitional approach to implement the law of loss of nationality step by step, First, the wasteland was granted to the new people, and when the time was ripe, the imperial court had a proper way to appease the wealthy right of the Kanto and Hebei families, and then officially implemented the 'Juntian Law'. But I don't know if the prince agrees with this? Gao Ying solemnly explained to Yang Guang.
"Father, listening to the words of the high servant today, the son-in-law Mao Sai suddenly opened, and he felt like he was pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun." Yang Guang gave Gao Ying a slight salute to express his gratitude, and then turned to Yang Jian and said, "However, according to what Erchen learned during his trip out of the town and the state, after the former Emperor Wu conquered the former Qi, he moved a considerable part of the high families in the former Qi to live in Guannei. ”
"Ah Zong, didn't Dugu Gong already say that the time is not yet ripe for the imperial court to directly recover the land from the right hand of Shijiahao, and it is very easy to cause civil unrest." Yang Jian reminded Yang Guangdao with a little impatience.
"Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters think that now is the best time for the imperial court to recover the land from the right hand of the family, and there are three main reasons for this:
First, the father has decided to raise troops to attack Chen, to achieve the great cause of the unification of the north and the south, the Kwantung prefectures under the jurisdiction of the eastern capital are connected to the Jianghuai, once the two countries go to war, they will rely more on transporting military materials, grain and grass from the Kwantung prefectures to the former enemy in Jianghuai, and the transportation of military materials, grain and grass to the former enemy depends on manpower, so it is not suitable to move a large number of Ding Zhuang from the Kanto to the northwest and Guannai at present;
Second, according to the results of the implementation of the Dasuo Maung Reading in the past two years under the rule of Hebei Province, most of the new editors were originally customers and tenants who rented the fields of the family Haoyou, and once these people were re-registered and verified by the imperial court and became the people, they had the identity and conditions to break away from the family and cultivate the fields granted by the imperial court to support their families. How can we continue to live a life of fine clothes and food?
Third, if the imperial court issued a decree restricting the newly added people to rent the land of the original owner's family for the time being when the imperial court had no land to grant, and at the same time, attract the Kanto family to move to the Guannai settlement on favorable terms, and then limit the upper limit of the land occupied by the family according to the rank and title in the future, and transfer the acres of land they occupy step by step to the new people, wouldn't it be possible to implement the 'uniform land system' as a matter of course. ”
Yang Jian was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately looked at Gao Ying, wanting to hear his opinion on Yang Guang's idea of moving his family instead of moving the commoners.
Gao Ying also did not expect that at today's meeting to discuss the matter of attacking Chen, Yang Guang put forward a new idea on the step-by-step implementation of the "Juntian system", out of prudence, so he handed over to Yang Jian and said: "After hearing it at first time, I thought that what the King of Jin said was quite innovative, taking into account the interests of both the family and the new people. However, it must also be subject to detailed research before a conclusion can be reached. ”
