Section 1364 The terrible Han Dynasty Liehou Group
"Your Majesty, how should this feudal country be divided?" Someone asked weakly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And he also mentioned the key point in this question.
For the aristocracy, in this world outside the Cyprus, to be honest, most people are blinded.
However, over the years, with the victory of the war, a large number of Hun slaves and prisoners of war poured in.
Most of these slaves and prisoners of war were housed and administered in a centralized manner.
But there are also some people who are good at raising horses, which will be auctioned by Shaofu.
The nobles, more or less, all bought some slaves.
Of course, this kind of slave trade is actually different from the slave trade on the steppe.
The Chinese aristocracy is very forceful and will not do that kind of oppressive and exploitative thing.
In particular, this never happens when slaves have skills.
Back then, the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, the rooster and the dog thief, were also regarded as guests, undressed, and fed.
Today's Han nobles, although they are more than that, but it is human nature to treat skilled slaves.
Therefore, these slaves who were bought back by them eventually became the servants of each family, and some even became retainers who lived and died with the master's family.
And through the mouths of these people, the outside world is naturally gradually familiar to the Han nobles, at least in their minds.
Therefore, almost everyone of the current aristocratic ministers of the Han family already knows that the grassland outside the Saiwai has a different climate from China.
The land of China is warmer.
In the Saiwai grassland, it snows in August, it is cold in September, and it snows heavily in October, which is the norm.
In addition, it is also different from place to place.
For example, the land of Henan, which was recovered by the Han army last year, is a very rich place in the area named 'Hetao' today.
And out of the Yin Mountain to the north, the desert is one after another, and the Gobi is innumerable.
In some places, there are even thousands of miles of uninhabited.
In some places, it is full of flowers and rich water and soil.
Therefore, how to divide this and how to divide it has become a doubt in the hearts of the noble ministers.
This outside world is too big.
In the past, the Han family divided the heroes and ordained the princes and kings, all of whom were edicted by the Son of Heaven to Zongzheng, Dahonglu, and Taichang, ordering them to prepare a map to seal the land, and then choose an auspicious day to be canonized in the high temple.
Obviously, it is impossible for Cyprus to be like China, and it does not have this condition.
Then, how to divide the seal becomes a problem.
In addition, according to the Son of Heaven, from now on, the feudal kingdom of everyone's heirs will be transferred from China to the outside.
It's a bit too risky!
In case, if you are unlucky, or offend others, and only get a piece of the Gobi, what is the good?
The Gobi is thousands of miles, I'm afraid it's not as good as an acre of land in Guanzhong!
Therefore, for a while, most of the relatives of the princes and ministers looked at Liu Che with blank eyes.
Even, even the scholars and bureaucrats looked at him with hot eyes.
Everyone knows that today, when the son is today, he will do what he says, and now he is indeed planning to make a big vassal.
However, how to operate this system is the key.
After all, no one is stupid.
Especially in this kind of major event related to the glory and wealth of oneself and one's descendants and the lives of one's children and grandchildren, even if he is really stupid, he will not be stupid now.
Liu Che looked at these ministers, smiled slightly, and first said to them: "You can rest assured that all feudal countries, from the date of their relocation, will still enjoy the food of China's fiefdoms...... In other words, in addition to the feudal domain, it can not only enjoy three times the size of its feudal state in the place where it is served, but also enjoy its original feudal state in China for 20 years...... Other than that...... The land of the Garn fiefdom is not within it......"
As a traverser, Liu Che knew very well that if he wanted the horses to run fast, he not only had to whip them, but also had to take out carrots that he could see and see to tempt them.
Otherwise, who will play with you!
In particular, in today's situation, there are not enough interests to drive these nobles and doctors who are tied to their feet by glory, wealth, and fine clothes.
In addition, Liu Che is also very clear that he wants to establish China's order and system outside the country.
Resources and manpower are indispensable.
Especially manpower.
Nothing can be done without people.
Just like the Mongolian kingdom of Liu Fei, the king of Mongolia, if it wants to develop and eventually digest the local area thoroughly, it has to immigrate at least 200,000.
Without people, especially without young people, it is simply impossible to develop.
Anton's experiment already says it all.
In the garrison of those reclamation regiments, now, it is already a wilderness that has turned into a strange place, and a swamp has become a fertile field.
However, most of the feudal kingdoms of Liehou Jiaen are still wild, and very few can be developed.
The degree of development of the Garn fiefdom of most lieges is simply not comparable to that of the cantonment regiment.
Many of them are even a pure resource extraction site, rather than a gathering place where smoke curls from the wilderness.
And the biggest difference between this is that the young and strong, that is, the number of labor.
It is clear that China will continue to operate from the Great Wall to the Green Mountains in the future, and eventually turn it into its own territory within a few decades.
There must be a large number of immigrants going out.
In those areas suitable for farming, a large number of cantonment regiments were established.
But the problem is that Liu Che thought about it again and again, and finally he knew that even if he was open, he would not want to use the power of the country to get this matter done.
You must know that the plan to emigrate 1 million to the Andong area has only been carried out by 500,000 -- less than half of the plan.
But the fact that the power of the state cannot do it does not mean that the power of private individuals cannot do it.
In this world, people die for money, and birds die for food.
The tasks of the state, the nobles, nobles, scholars, doctors and bureaucrats may procrastinate, or they may grind foreign workers, or even deceive, and disobey the yang.
But I will definitely take my own things to heart and do my best to complete them.
If it is profitable, then it will do whatever it takes, at all costs.
Here's an example.
At the beginning, Emperor Liu Bang of Gao divided the meritorious heroes into liehous, and a total of 137 meritorious heroes and six relatives were divided.
To this day, about seventy have survived.
At the beginning, the princely kingdoms divided by these princes and heroes had 10,000 large households and more than 500 small ones.
However, today, when Liu Che opened the list of princes of these princes, he was speechless in surprise.
In just over 50 years, the population of these princes has soared like a rocket.
Among them, the most buggy is the Zhan County that Xiao He sealed at the beginning.
In the beginning, the total number of households in Zan County was 8,000.
But in the Taizong period, when the last Zhanhou Xiaotong was guilty and abolished as a commoner, his Houguo household registration grew to a jaw-dropping 26,000 households in more than 40 years.
The average annual growth rate of the account is more than 25%!
It is no wonder that Taizong later restored the Zhanhou family, but he refused to let Xiao continue to be Zhanhou when he died, but moved him to Zhuyang, opening the Zhuyang Hou generation of Xiao He's lineage.
But even so, it could not stop the farming talent of the old Xiao family, a few years after being named Zhuyang Hou, the last Zhuyang Hou Xiao committed suicide, and the Hou State was abolished, but the population of this Hou State increased from no more than 10,000 households to 16,000 households, with an average annual growth rate of 20 percent......
Yes, after Xiao Zegg, but two years later, Liu Che's father remembered the old Xiao family again, and this time he reinstated Xiao Ze's uncle Zhuyang Yanghou Xiao's younger brother Xiao Jia as Wuyang Hou.
This is clearly because I fell in love with the farming skills of the old Xiao family.
To a certain extent, the Xiao family can always die, but they have always rested with the country, and there have been people who have been the princes for generations.
This is not only that people's ancestors have yin virtue, but also that although people are very good at death, their farming skills are also buggy!
For example, the current Wuyang Hou Xiao Sheng reported last year that His Majesty Hongfu had more than 13,500 household registrations in Wuyang County......
Another miracle of 20 percent per year......
Therefore, those who envy the old Xiao family.
If you have the ability, you can also get a 20% growth rate of the account for decades!
No!
Just keep fifteen percent!
Liu Che will also die to keep the family's wealth, and his children and grandchildren will continue to do the same.
Among the various hou states, the weakest is the Yingyin Hou State, which has 5,000 registered households, and today it has not exceeded 10,000, only about 9,000 households, and the growth rate is 1% per year.
But it is an indisputable fact that the Yingyin Hou family is not good at farming.
And all the heroes of the Gao Emperor, whether they have been GG (those who have GG only count the number when they abolished the Hou State), still exists.
Taken together, the average annual growth rate of these princely states is more than 13 percent.
It is much higher than the rate at which the Han family's own county household registration increases.
According to the statistics of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty, the growth rate of household registration is only 9 percent per year.
This is the result of Liu Che's vigorous encouragement of childbearing in recent years -- in previous years, the growth rate of household registration was only about 8 percent a year. (Household statistics are from the Population Geography of the Western Han Dynasty)
In other words, in fact, these princes are very capable.
At least bigger than the bureaucrats.
As for the princes, will they report the numbers indiscriminately to invite credit?
It's impossible!
Because, this is the same as the later generations of enterprises to misreport their turnover, and they have to pay taxes.
Oral endowments and discretionary funds are all directly related to the population.
An adult's annual allowance of 120 yuan, as well as 4 taels per 1,000 households, is an iron law.
No one can escape.
The income of the princes is only 200 yuan a year for each household (the Han law stipulates that the food rent tax for the feudal is 200 (money) per household)
In other words, the food tax of the princes was allocated to them by the state from the treasury (the mouth tax was collected first).
And this is also the reason why the princes like farming so much in their own feudal kingdoms - for each additional household, it is more than 200 yuan a year!
Playing like the old Xiao family, with a growth rate of 20% a year, you can get hundreds of thousands or even millions more in the blink of an eye.
This is still legal income, not to mention the extra money hidden in private.
And this is exactly what Liu Che relied on when he dared to let the princes out.
It's just the farming skills and abilities of these guys.
As long as it is maintained at the level of China, within twenty or thirty years, China will be able to digest the entire Hexi and Western Regions.
The thing that makes so much money is that even if you are in underwear, you have to go on!
Not to mention opening these preferential policies to give benefits and benefits.
is to put on women's clothes and have a cos, Liu Che is also willing!
And the nobles and scholars of the liehous, after listening to Liu Che's words, put their hearts back in their stomachs.
The Son of Heaven wanted to move the seal, or even cut off the Chinese division from now on, and re-divide it outside the fortress.
To be reasonable, everyone is afraid.
Even resistant.
No matter how good it is, can it be compared to the nest that has been operating for a long time?
But now, it's different.
First of all, the Son of Heaven still retained the big guy's Chinese feudal kingdom and gave him a grace period, and the time is still very long, a full twenty years!
In other words, even if there is some obstacle from the closure of the country outside, it does not prevent everyone from continuing to spend time and wine, glory and wealth.
Secondly, under the guarantee of such a system, the big guys will have confidence.
What confidence?
Your own lair!
The princes present, especially those veteran princes since Emperor Gao, many of them are now excited.
In terms of substance, who can compare with them?
For example, Qucheng Hou Gu Jie, although this person has a bad reputation in the circle of liehous, his reputation in Chang'an City is not good.
However, the old Gu family is the Han family's second only to the old Xiao family's farming expert.
Over the past fifty-eight years, the Quchenghou family has experienced two generations of governance.
At the time of the first sealing, there were only 4,000 households in Qucheng County.
It just happened to be the number of households in his father's restaurant.
But now, Qucheng County is already one of the most populous counties in the Han family.
The total number of households is as high as 12,400, with an average annual growth rate of nearly 20 percent.
Such a large population gave him great confidence and power.
Especially today, population is also wealth, but also heritage, but also strength today.
Such a population base gave him no less influence and power than that of the Marquis of Wanhu.
Not to mention, since the first year of Yuande, Qucheng County has sent dozens of examiners to the country, and there are more than 100 officers in the Han army who serve as team leaders from local county soldiers to field corps.
There are even people who serve as captains of Yu Linwei.
And these people were all grown up by Gu Jie - at least, they had also received his favor.
And that's power, that's influence!
In the Han family, a liege, no matter how much he jerks and messes around outside, but in the feudal country, in the old nest, he will converge.
He will even give grace and help the widows and orphans.
Therefore, the people of the feudal country have a very high degree of recognition of their lord.
Especially among the tenants and retainers, many were even willing to live and die with the sovereign.
At the beginning, the last generation of Liu Hou Zhang Budo instructed others to murder his rival Chu domestic history, and as a result, he was deposed as a city dan.
After Zhang Budo is abolished as a city, if he is reasonable, he will definitely die a miserable death.
However, his later years were unexpectedly more chic than those of ordinary landlords - at least dozens of loyal retainers and domestic slaves did not leave him and followed him.
Even after his death, the aftermath was handled by these retainers and slaves.
They even threw everything they had into organizing a funeral for their lord that was comparable to that of a prince.
Zhang Budo has been abolished from all his rights, deprived of all his property, and abolished as the lowest sinner, and there are still so many loyal ministers and righteous people to follow.
How many manpower and material resources can the other princes, who still hold power and wealth, mobilize?
Let's not talk about it, let's take Gu Jie as an example.
In history, Liu An, the king of Huainan, was involved in rebellion, and it was this Gu Jie who was ordered to monitor and take over the military power of Huainan.
And from the moment he was instructed, he called up three thousand militia in three days.
This is the intuitive embodiment of the huge human resources and influence in the hands of the Han family liehous!
