In the next period of time, the Great Jin Empire, from **Luoyang to the counties and counties in the Central Plains, the main energy was to liquidate the family places. The emerging students cultivated by the prince and some emerging forces in Guanzhong have gone all out. Because this is their rare opportunity to enter the center of national power, only the more unlucky eggs they are connected, the more opportunities they have.

This is an opportunity not to be missed!

In Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, Yuzhou and other places, one by one the big families were driven out of the places where they had lived for generations, and one by one the officials of the families who were involved in the rebellion were dismissed from their posts and driven out of the imperial court.

Under the pressure of the imperial army, no family dared to resist! Because resisting means the death of the clan, the imperial court has eliminated more than a dozen clans, and its bloody methods make the clans shudder, and they can't afford to have any idea of resisting.

In Yanzhou alone, Zuyo broke through more than 100 dock forts and liberated hundreds of thousands of common people and tenants. In this wave of liquidating families, some families who are unwilling to fail are ready to abandon their family business in the north and hide in the south. In order to enhance the strength of Jiangdong, King Langya and Wang Dun in the south took the opportunity to send personnel to lobby the northern clans to cross to the south.

Of course, not all families are willing to burn jade, and some discerning families decided to accept the prince's conditions and let the family transform after recognizing the reality. After these people took the initiative to hand over most of the family property and all the tenants and tribes, they went to Luoyang to become a foolish duke.

In order to maintain the basic stability of the imperial power and economy, Sima Shu asked Taifu to come forward to protect a small number of 'enlightened' families. At the same time, in order to comfort the turbulent family, Sima Shu sent those children of the family who knew the current affairs to Chang'an University in Guanzhong for further study.

The prince's move made those families who had just taken refuge in peace of mind, and during this time, the family saw that those students from Xincheng University and Chang'an University had been reused by the imperial court, and it was impossible not to envy it. Because the prince is prejudiced against the children of the family, except for a very few people who will get the prince's blue eyes, others must return to the furnace and practice again if they want to get ahead.

In order to make up for the losses of the imperial court in the war, Sima Shu asked the household department to intervene in the whole process of some serious offenders, which increased the treasury with a large amount of silver. The raid on the Central Plains family actually caused the imperial court to confiscate nearly 10 billion money. This figure far exceeded the losses of the imperial court in the war this time.

After the war, the Great Purge allowed Sima Shu's rule to take root in the Central Plains, and the war not only destroyed the economy of the Central Plains, but also caused the family's influence here to decline sharply. Millions more acres of land were re-measured, and a large number of tenants and slaves were emancipated into freemen and self-employed people with their own land.

This purge created a good opportunity for the rectification of the rule of officials, Sima Shu has always been dissatisfied with the inefficiency of the imperial institutions, the last reform was not thorough, this time a complete plan for the change of the imperial institutions was approved at the imperial meeting.

In particular, the relevant functional departments of the former Shaofu to manage the royal private tax were merged into the household department, which reduced the dual setting of the tax agency and concentrated financial resources. There were also some local institutional changes.

Zhang Bin, the second assistant of the cabinet, has been particularly energetic during this period of time, and he is happy all day long. The adoption of the plan for the change of imperial institutions led by him, coupled with the downsizing of the imperial eunuchs, basically achieved the goal of reducing the number of imperial officials by 30%. What I thought was difficult was solved in a few months, which made the prince's henchman feel a sense of accomplishment.

When the imperial court dealt with the affairs after the war, the king of Langya in the south was not idle, he brought Wang Dun, Wang Dao, Lu Ji, Lu Yun and others to discuss the influence on Jiangdong after the war. The point is to discuss how to lure more northern families south!

Before the Qin Dynasty, Chu, Wu, and Yue in the south were all great powers, and the south during that period was no worse than the Central Plains. The Qin and Han dynasties set their capitals in Chang'an and Luoyang, and some big families moved their homes north one after another for the convenience of being officials, causing a great loss of strength in the south, and they became more and more backward.

Wang Dun looked at everyone and said very strongly: "This is our chance, now that the northern family is being brutally suppressed by the prince, if we can lend a helping hand, we can definitely mobilize a large number of wealthy families to our Jiangdong to develop." Especially the wealthy families who were dismissed in the Great Purge, they should come to our Jiangdong instead of enduring the bullying of others. ”

"Don't forget, we and the crown prince Sima Shu are enemies who share the sky, and there is no possibility of peace between the two sides at all. Now the prince's attention is restrained by the Huns, Xianbei and other Hu tribes in the north, and he does not have the energy and strength to go south, but once the prince frees up his hand, by then the million army will go south, what will we resist! ”

"Therefore, luring the northern family to the south is not only to dig the corner of the crown prince, but more importantly, to strengthen our own strength. When the development of the south progresses, we will have the strength to confront the prince. I don't know if you have noticed it, but the southern part of the empire has abundant rain, but due to the lack of labor, the land is underdeveloped. If we can take advantage of the opportunity of the northern family to go south, let the southern land be developed, it will be our granary in the future. ”

Wang Dun's words aroused the arrogance of everyone present, and then Wang Dun said on behalf of the Wang family that their Wang family was willing to take the lead in going to the north and mobilize the northern families who were close to the Wang family to go south.

King Langya finally said that Jiangdong would not leave those big families in the north after mobilizing them to the south. The Langya palace will see this as a major development strategy, not only setting aside land for reclamation or reclamation, but also taking care of infrastructure such as roads and irrigation canals. Whoever cultivates these lands owns them. Start a two-year tax exemption to attract more families to the south!

Director Wang also thinks that this method is good and can achieve practical results. If the big families have reclaimed or reclaimed a large amount of land in the south and no one cultivates it, they can even organize the migration of displaced people from the north to the south. Wang Dao also said that he would personally mobilize the family of Chen County to move south.

Lu Ji, Zhou Hui and others also said that they would mobilize separately.

In the past few days, Xie Heng, the head of the Xie family in Chen County, has been sullen at home. originally thought that the prince would suffer a catastrophe this time, but he didn't expect that the prince Sima Shu would be so powerful that he could personally lead the elite to defeat the army of the king of the East China Sea. Then the stormy purge began, and for a while it was a bit of a feeling.

Hearing that Director Wang came to the door, Xie Heng personally greeted him at the door.

After meeting the ceremony, Director Wang told Xie Heng about King Langya's plan to develop Jiangdong. praised the great achievements of the ancestors of the Xie family, and then carefully talked about the prince's hostility to the family, and told the other party of the ardent hope that the King of Langya hoped that the Xie family would lead the children of the Xie family to the south.

"King Langya is thirsty for talent, hoping that the Xie family can go to the south to establish immortal achievements and carry forward the family. Master Xie, you should know that under the command of the crown prince, it is impossible for a family like us to be reused. ”

Xie Heng was greatly moved after listening to Director Wang's words, what the prince has done in the Central Plains these days has deeply disappointed a person like him from a family, if it weren't for the fear of the prince's ruthless methods, he would have raised the banner and rebelled.

In the end, Xie Heng expressed his willingness to move his family to Jiangdong to follow King Langya. At the same time, he also promised to mobilize the wealthy families who were close to the Xie family. But he also has a request, he wants his eldest son Xie Kun to take refuge in Jiangdong first, so that he can avoid worries.

Director Wang agreed, expressing his willingness to let King Langya arrange a position for Xie Kun in Jiangdong. But now that there are many monks and few official positions in Jiangdong, it is impossible for Xie Kun to take up a real post at once when he arrives in Jiangdong, so he can only arrange a false position of 600 stones.

Xie Kun doesn't pay attention to this. His purpose is to let the Xie family integrate into Jiangdong as soon as possible, as long as they have an official position, they don't care whether it is big or small, virtual or real.

After the mobilization of King Langya, there were a total of more than 300 wealthy families in the north who were willing to move their families to Jiangdong, including the Chen family, the Yuan family, and the Yin family.

In order to welcome the family to the south, King Langya set up an office in Jiujiang, with Wang Dun as the general person in charge and the Lu brothers as their deputies. King Langya knew the important surname of the Nandu plan, so before leaving, King Langya specially met with Wang Dun and the Lu brothers, and especially reminded them to take care of the family of Nandu.

A few days later, on the official road from north to south of the empire, the brigade of men and horses dressed brightly moved to the south. The front and back of the convoy are dozens of miles long, and there is no end in sight.

The family's southward migration was called the southward crossing by later historians.

Some of them settled on the first line of Ganshui in Poyang Lake, and the other part went to the first line of Xiangshui in Changsha. And the people led by the Xie family came to the plain area between the Yangtze River and Zheshui.

Later generations of poems: In the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. The 'Xie' in the poem refers to the well-dressed Xie family who crossed south at this time.

In the original history of China, there were three large-scale southward crossings of the Han people, which occurred in the Yongjia Rebellion, the Anshi Rebellion, and the Jingkang Rebellion.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the surrounding tribes migrated inward to establish a separatist regime, resulting in the Yongjia Rebellion, and the central court was threatened. During the Jin Jianwu period, Emperor Yuan of Jin led the Han subjects of the Central Plains to cross to the south, which was known as "the rebellion of Yongjia, and the clothes crossed to the south". This was the first large-scale southward migration of the Han people in the Central Plains.

"Yiguan", on behalf of the meaning of civilization, Yiguan Nandu is the Central Plains civilization moved south, the capital of the Jin Dynasty moved to Jiangdong Jiankang (now Nanjing), since then the history is called the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the beginning of the Chinese ruling center moved to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, this time, due to the bloody storm set off by Sima Shu in various parts of the Central Plains, the Central Plains family was under the pressure of power, and they accepted the pull of Wang Dao and others, and led their clansmen to cross the river to the south.

After learning the news, compared to the anger of Li Teh and the others, they even clamored to fight across the Yangtze River to see where these bastards could escape! In addition to being a little shocked at first, Sima Shu quickly calmed down. Because he knew that the southward movement of these families would have a great impact on the Jiangnan region.

The influences on Zhejiang include: first, the Nandu of the family directly led to the official dialect of Wu in the Jianghuai region and became the official dialect of Jianghuai; 2. The cultural economy of the Jianghuai region (now Zhejiang, Jiangsu) began to develop rapidly, forming the Jiangnan culture that attracted the attention of later generations. Since then, Jiangnan has begun to develop into a national economic advantage.

In addition to the southern crossing of the Western Jin Dynasty in the last years, there was also a "Jingkang shame" of the Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers destroyed the Northern Song Empire, abducted the Song Dynasty Emblem, the second emperor of Qin, the Song family was forced to move south, and built the capital Lin'an (Hangzhou), known as the Southern Song Dynasty in history.

Another large-scale southward migration of the Central Plains civilization, although not caused by nomads, had the same effect, that is, the "Anshi Rebellion" that occurred in the 14th year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (755).

Three times to the south, China's agricultural center shifted from north to south, and the cultural center also moved south, creating the economic and cultural foundation of Jiangnan.

And every time the nomads herd their horses to the south and the Han civilization crossed to the south, it was a development, expansion and promotion of Jiangnan, and it was also a tempering of the concept of Jiangnan. It is in this tempering that Jiangnan has grown up and matured, and Jiangnan's image has become more and more distinct.

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a proverb that "Huguang is ripe and the world is full", which means that if Huguang Province (today's Hunan, Hubei) has a bumper harvest in the dynasty, the grain of the whole country will be guaranteed. It can be seen that if the Jiangnan area is developed, it will have a great impact on the national economy!

It was precisely because he understood that such a southern crossing would greatly promote the economic development of the south, so Sima Shu would appear calm and composed, and at the critical moment when the imperial court sent a large army to sweep away the rebellion everywhere, even if the local families wanted to run to the south, they could only bring some of their belongings, and most of the tenants and land, which symbolized wealth, could only be left to the imperial court.

"Your Highness, are we just going to let them go? His Royal Highness only needs to give the minister 1,000 people, and the minister promises that they will all be arrested without pulling them all! "Zu Yue, Li Te, and others felt incomprehensible that the prince could easily let go of the group of children of the family who fled south.

"Hehe, don't worry, these people will run away if they escape, and they will have no effect on us. They don't care about Lonely, what the palace values most is the land of those tenants, commoners, and families. As long as you have these things, even if all the children of the family run out, you don't have to worry! ”

Although Sima Shu said it lightly on the surface, he was still a little worried in his heart. Because this time the family's southern crossing can be said to be a collective action of the elite of the northern scholars, there are many talents in it. Among them, the Xie Heng family from the Xie family of Chen County is one of the leaders. (To be continued.) )
