225, the first county in the world

Jingwen finally followed those Han people back to the Tang Dynasty, and they were going to rush to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and they wanted to thank the district. Because the emperor and the princes of the court allowed them to return to the Tang Dynasty from the Turks, they naturally wanted to thank the emperor and all the adults. As for who proposed this method, of course, it was proposed by an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he seems to be surnamed Jing. And he can know from the historical information that the emperor Li Shimin is a very good person, and this is to cater to the emperor's preferences. If the ceremony of thanksgiving is done well this time, then I am afraid that the reward in the future will be better, so of course he will have to find a way to please the emperor.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

A full 20,000 people knelt down outside Chang'an City, which was grateful to the emperor for his kindness. Of course, these 20,000 people were selected from within, and it was impossible for more than 100,000 people to come over and salute the emperor outside Chang'an City. Therefore, only 20,000 people were selected to salute the emperor.

"Hahahaha, good!" Emperor Li Shimin was obviously very happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we in Datang have made a great deed, and we can bring back to Datang the people who have been abused abroad, which is a great achievement. You will all be remembered in the history books and admired by future generations. Li Shimin said excitedly.

As emperors and civil and military officials, their glory and wealth have reached the peak, and it is obvious that ordinary things are not very tempting to them. What they pursue is to leave a name in history, to be able to leave their good side in history, so that future generations can learn. Now that he has done this merit that brought back hundreds of people, this is enough for everyone to be able to leave a name in history, so they are all smiling.

"Your Majesty, please don't be happy too early, although the people have been welcomed back, how to settle these people is also a problem."

Of course, the person who said this was Wei Zheng, the first poisonous tongue of the Tang Dynasty, who often poured cold water on the emperor when he was excited. Spoil the Emperor. Originally, everyone was happy about this matter, but now it was directly pointed out by Wei Zheng, saying how to settle these people.

"Your Majesty, many of these Tang people were robbed by the Turks during the former Sui Dynasty. And now, their hometown has changed over time, and their relatives have died and walked, and they can't be found. They are now unaccompanied, and I am afraid that they will no longer have relatives willing to help them. So, let them go back to their place of origin. I'm afraid it's hurting them. However, if they are scattered and resettled, then I am afraid that because of their origins and the reason that they have been captured by the Turks, then they may be discriminated against. Especially those women, maybe they will be considered ......"

Wei Zheng didn't continue to say anything, but the meaning was already very obvious. That is, these people actually have no relatives, and even if they do, they may not be able to find them after the troubled times. Every troubled time is actually a time of re-depopulation. In troubled times, in order to escape the troubled times, the people naturally became homeless. And once the troubled times are over. I'm afraid that most of them are already willing to live in the local area, but not necessarily want to return to their hometowns. And the population has undergone such a redistribution, in fact, their hometowns may not be all their relatives.

In addition, they have been captured by the Turks, if they are scattered and settled at will. They are afraid that they will be discriminated against by the local people. Especially those women, because they were humiliated by the Turks, maybe they were even more despised by everyone. Maybe it's a little helpless, but it's like this in China at present. There is no way to solve it. If they are so rashly arranged to disperse and return to their places of origin, I am afraid that it will harm them.

Anyway, since you have been a good person, you must be a good person to the end. Send the Buddha to the West, and don't let them suffer again.

"Do you guys have any great ideas? Jingwen, you say it first, you know them best. Li Shimin asked.

And Jingwen immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, because they have just suffered a great disaster, and the people may not be able to understand them, it is not appropriate to rashly assign them to different places." What they need now is an attitude that treats them as equals, so we can't afford to make them sad again. We might as well gather them together so that we can comfort them in the future, and these people who are suffering from the same disease can also huddle together to keep warm, so that they can do their best to restore the pain in their hearts. Jingwen said.

The hundred officials present couldn't help but nod, because Jingwen's method was good. If these people are scattered, it will not be easy for the court to take care of every one of these people with mental diseases, but it will harm them. And if they are concentrated, they, who are sympathetic to each other, will be able to hug each other for warmth. Moreover, the imperial court can also be uniformly resettled, and unified people can be comforted. Even, those Han people who were born in the Turks, because they were born in the place of the Hu people, may not have a strong sense of identity with China, so their education should be strengthened. Once these are dispersed, it will be difficult to arrange. So getting them together is the best way to do it. Anyway, they are all homeless people, and it is not impossible to gather together and settle down.

"But the emperor, gather these people together and settle them, so that a population of more than 100,000 people is like a Zhongzhou! Should we establish a state, or a county? Someone said right away.

The Tang Dynasty was divided into states, with more than 40,000 households being Shangzhou, 20,000 to 40,000 households, that is, Zhongzhou, and less than 20,000 households, that being Xiazhou. And a family usually has about five people, and the more than 100,000 people are exactly about 20,000 people, so it is like a Zhongzhou. In ancient times, the population was not large, and 100,000 people could become a "prefecture-level city", so some people wanted to ask whether this was to be re-established as a state.

"Well, it's better to set up only one county, and this county will be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the grade will be tentatively set as the fifth grade, according to the treatment of Jing County." Li Shimin said.

Because there are so many things that are needed in all aspects to create a state. And if it's just a county, that's not a big problem. And this population is indeed large enough, so a county is set up, which can save a lot of things. It's not enough because their population is large enough, according to the treatment of Jing County. However, even so, this county has become the largest county in the world. With a population of more than 100,000 in a county, this was almost unimaginable in the ancient Tang Dynasty.
