Chapter 447: Healing the Sichuan people

From 208 to 210 AD, Luo Zheng ordered three emigrations, moving 500,000 households and 2 million people from Hebei, the Central Plains, and Xichuan to the desert and the 800-mile Qiangyuan in batches, and selected officials to govern them.

This is the real bottom of the kettle, and from now on, there will only be Han people in the vast desert and Xiqiang.

Since the pre-Qin period, although the Han court has also conquered the desert and Xiqiang, it has never really turned these wild places into Han territory, because the nomads are like weeds on the prairie, never burned out, no matter how bad the living conditions are, these nomads will continue to grow stubble.

The only way to truly turn these places into Han Chinese territory is to relocate.

A large number of Han Chinese people were relocated to the past, and the population growth of nomads was strictly controlled. In this way, these places can really become the territory of the Han people, so that the nomadic tribes can completely disappear.

Even the people of the prairie will continue to graze, and it will be the Han people and not the alien race.

This is a huge project, which requires huge national strength and manpower support.

Fortunately, after ten years of savings, the population of Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Hetao and other places has not only grown explosively, exceeding 10 million, but also has the benefit of gold and rice, and the granaries in various places have accumulated a large amount of money and grain, and it is not a problem to support immigrants.

Almost all of the Han people who moved to the desert and Xiqiang were poor households, and they had to leave their homeland and move to another country after the government issued a policy of exempting one qiē from paying taxes for ten years, coupled with the government's forcible requisition.

The people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou live a stable and prosperous life, and they are absolutely unwilling to move to the bitter cold desert and Xiqiang.

If forcibly relocated. It is bound to cause great social upheaval.

Only those poor households, after the government gave a huge tax exemption policy. The resistance will not be so strong, and the forced relocation will not cause social unrest. The nearly one million people who moved from Xichuan to Xiqiang were all powerful tenants.

At that time, the Xichuan Shi clan took refuge in Luo Zheng, which had certain particularities.

In order to ensure the stability of the situation in Xichuan, Luo Zheng has not enforced the Guanzhong policy in Xichuan for many years. Over the years, the population of Xichuan has been growing steadily, and according to incomplete statistics from the government, there are at least 7 million people in Xichuankou.

With such a huge population, the number of registered citizens in the government is less than 4 million.

In other words, there were only more than 3 million people in Xichuan who paid taxes to the government, and the remaining half of the population were all tenants and private soldiers of the powerful clans, and these people did not have to pay taxes to the government. This is obviously a bit unscientific.

Luo Zheng was not the successor of the imperial power, but the founding monarch who established the foundation of the dynasty.

As the founding monarch of the Great Qian, how could he tolerate such a phenomenon?

I didn't touch the interests of the Xichuan Tu people before, because I considered the overall situation. If the Dingding is about to be settled today, it is time to solve the problem of Xichuan, and the millions of immigrants to Datunbian are the indicators that the imperial court directly issued to the Yizhou Thorn History Department.

In order to proceed with the immigration, Luo Zheng's courtiers formulated a series of countermeasures for him.

The first is to make adjustments to the deployment of troops in Xichuan. The first is to use a group of local officials in Xichuan, and Zhang Song, the assassin of Yizhou, was transferred to Shangshu Zhongcheng, and jumped to the central district to directly participate in the government.

Luo Zheng also ordered to crown Zhang Ren, a famous general in Xichuan, as the general of Erpin Zhennan. Bestow the festival of talismans, make all of them.

The rest of the local scholars in Xichuan also have their own rewards, and the promotions of the promoted officials. and what deserves to be rewarded, he is rewarded.

In addition to personnel adjustments, Luo Zheng also made adjustments to the deployment of troops in the Sword Pavilion. If it is said that the Xichuan clan is wantonly used and all the descendants are withdrawn from Xichuan, it is a show of gratitude. Adjusting the deployment of troops on the front line of the Sword Pavilion is just in case.

If there is a change in Xichuan, the 100,000 western troops of the battalion in the western suburbs of Chang'an will enter Sichuan to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

controlled the Sword Pavilion and several other dangerous passes. It is equivalent to opening the door of Xichuan.

As long as the Shichuan Western Army can rush to Xichuan as soon as possible, any rebellion will be extinguished at the first time.

In the first year of the Great Qiankaiping, there were small-scale rebellions in the subordinate states of Xichuan counties, and the rebels were all local heroes.

When the news reached Chang'an, the imperial court immediately ordered Zhang Ren, the general of Zhennan, and the county magistrates to quell the chaos.

The rebellion lasted less than three months before it was crushed. The only local county guard who rebelled, Jianwei Taishou, was also broken by the Zhennan general Zhang Ren, which did not cause turmoil in Yizhou, and the Xichuan scholars handed in a satisfactory answer to the imperial court.

Obviously, the Xichuan Shi clan, led by Zhang Song and others, also realized it.

The world is about to be unified, and if the Xichuan clan still guards that little bit of interest, they will be purged sooner or later.

In these years, Luo Zheng has pacified the Central Plains and Hebei, and has won nine out of ten in the world, creating a foundation for a dynasty, and all the meritorious soldiers and henchmen under his command are all in Luo Zheng after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, either in the center or on the side of the power.

However, none of the Xichuan scholars could get out of Xichuan, and their status in the puzzle of Xiqian Zheng was getting lower and lower.

The Xichuan clan had complaints, and they also had some other thoughts, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

First, the Xichuan and Western tribes are not monolithic, and second, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiqian are definitely not decorations.

Some Xichuan scholars have privately discussed defecting to Liu Bei, but they were ordered by Zhang Song and others to be copied and sent to the imperial court to show their loyalty.

Even if he can regain the dangerous pass of the Sword Pavilion, although Luo Zheng has not forcibly implemented the policy of Guanzhong in Xichuan over the years, who dares to guarantee that there is no internal response of the imperial court in the Xichuan Shi clan, and he will not secretly accept the imperial army into Sichuan.

This time, the imperial court issued an immigration index to the Yizhou Assassin History Department, which was a temptation.

The Xichuan clan knew in their hearts that this was to force the Sichuan people to express their position.

The people registered in the government could not move, and the only remaining were the powerful tenants of the noble clan.

The choice of the Xichuan scholars did not disappoint the imperial court, perhaps it was the deterrence of hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, or perhaps Zhang Song, Zhang Ren and others were reused, setting an example for the Xichuan scholars, in short, under the coercion and temptation of the imperial court, the Xichuan scholars finally chose to compromise with the imperial court and gave up part of their interests in exchange for the trust of the imperial court and the lifting of the ban on official careers.

Let the Sichuan people go out of Xichuan and rank in the center, or the weight side, it seems that the Sichuan people get more.

If the Sichuan people do not compromise, then what will greet the Xichuan Shi clan is a question that does not seem to need to be considered, and the result can be thought of, and the million moving tunbian is only the beginning, not the end.

Next, Luo Zheng will continue to use the method of cutting meat with a blunt knife to gradually solve the stubborn problem of Xichuan land annexation and strict zhòng, and the strong and powerful Shi clan occupying a large number of tenant farmers, break the monopoly of knowledge, and completely eliminate the gate lord government.
