Chapter 164: National Difficulties and Many Battles (2)
After a little look, it is very good, in terms of personnel, Yang Yi has delegated his rights, although Tian Xu is a general, but he can be arranged here, it seems that he is ready to be of great use.
"Tian Qing, you're doing a good job."
Tian Xu has seen a lot of the world, and he is deeply sophisticated, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am the county guard, and if I get Your Majesty's favor, I have to do things, and this is the way to be a minister." ”
"You can order Zhang Teng, be bolder, and recruit more people who dare to fight, it will be of great use in the coming year!"
casually ordered a few words, Yang Yi didn't say much, after all, there is something good at the top, and it must be attached to the bottom, and she has a tendency.
……
One day later, Yang Yi returned to Beijing.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Yang Yi turned over and dismounted, and the horse was handed over to the attendants.
"Your Majesty, several adults are already waiting in the Hanlin Academy at this time, saying that they have asked to see you." Sitting and walking inside, I wanted to go back to the inner palace directly, but a eunuch came from the south and said in front of the public opinion.
"Then let's go to the Hanlin Academy first." Yang Yi pondered for a moment and said, she naturally understood what these courtiers were waiting to do.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, but when he entered the Hanlin Academy, the faces Yang Yi saw were darker than the sky.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you took the guards to the north to inspect the border?" Zhang Yi asked first.
"Well, it's back...... Along the way, they also encountered an enemy sentry and eliminated it. As soon as the words came out, the faces of several courtiers became more and more ugly.
"Your Majesty, son of a daughter, you can't sit down, what kind of identity are you, how can you do such an adventure? If something happens, how will the ministers deal with themselves? Zhang Yi stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said with a pause.
Indeed, now that the safety of the Han is maintained with Yang Yi alone, if Yang Yi has an accident, then the situation may collapse in one fell swoop.
"Not next time." Seeing that both of them had a scared expression, Yang Yi didn't want to continue the topic, and said: "During this inspection, I found that Beiyi's combat effectiveness is quite brave, and if it is not solved, sooner or later it will become a problem for the henchmen of the Great Han." ”
Yang Yi told what he had encountered, and after hearing about it, several people present also frowned, it is time to consider the border troubles, when the Central Plains is strong, the border troubles are naturally not to worry, when Wei Wu was there, he could attack Wuhuan in the north at will, and the head of the clan.
Yang Yi said again: "Although the rough plan has been decided, there is still a plan for how to attack the specific strategy...... It's time to get it done as soon as possible! ”
After a pause, he said with a smile: "Of course, there is no need to be too urgent now, there is no need to start more work, there is always a New Year!" ”
The Han Dynasty vacation system is mainly divided into two categories, one is menstrual holidays; The other type is holiday leave.
"Han Law": Officials can take a bath every five days, which is called "rest and bath", that is, the meaning of rest and bathing.
Because officials at all levels have to concentrate on the official office and food and lodging on weekdays, there is no special order, and they are usually not allowed to go home, and only when they have a "rest" can they take a bath and change clothes, go home for reunion, clean or visit relatives and friends, so it is also called "five days off".
In addition to this, officials also enjoy various holiday holidays, such as the winter solstice, summer solstice, Spring Festival, etc.
In addition, in case of special events, officials can also take leave, which is divided into two types: giving and giving notice.
The Han system stipulates that anyone who takes a leave of absence for three months can be exempted from office, and the person who is given the notice can extend the vacation without being dismissed, which is quite conscientious.
"No!" After the persuasion, it can be regarded as doing their duty, and the work still has to be done, and several courtiers scattered to the respective offices.
Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is January of the New Year, and at this time, wearing thick clothes, you will feel cold.
These are limited to ordinary people, for the children of the big clans or the official eunuchs, these are not a problem, a cloak or cloak can block the biting cold wind.
At the time of the New Year, the entire Chang'an City and even Guanzhong began to gradually become lively, after all, this is the first New Year in the old capital of Beifu, even if it is a homeless person, after receiving some simple food for free, they show a grateful look.
In the past month, the peaceful atmosphere has surrounded Chang'an City and the entire territory of Dahan.
The north is also very safe, although there is a cavalry invasion of the border in the New Year, it was quickly beaten back by Zhang Teng, and now the Beiyi has not been united, obviously unable to invade the Han, it is a good time to solve it.
This is also because of Yang Yi's previous line, but Zhang Teng let go of the shackles, and attacked the north several times, causing the Beiyi Detective Cavalry to be damaged, so he would attack once, but he was easily ambushed!
The armor of the Han Dynasty is sharp, which is also the confidence of the Han Dynasty Wuhu, and now after screening, the Han soldiers have screened out the old and weak, and the combat power is naturally far better than that of Beiyi.
In the past six months, the Han Dynasty seems to have made little moves on the surface, but it is strengthening the internal construction, according to Yang Yi's estimates, it will take at least a year to renovate and collect the people's hearts in the occupied area.
This is the foundation, after decades of war, in fact, the population of the people has not decreased much, but most of them are hidden in the mountains and forests, hidden in large households, difficult and living, now the rule of officials, is to fight for this part of the population, into the Han nationality, for the country, this can enhance the national strength of the Han Dynasty.
……
"Chen Qing, what do you think of the strength of our country now? Compared with the Jin and Wu countries, what is the difference? Feel free to talk about it. The group slowly rode down the street, looking at the shops on the left and right, and the passers-by walking slowly in the ice and snow, Yang Yi turned his head and asked Chen Shou, who accompanied him on the tour.
Yang Yi asked casually, but Chen Shou thought cautiously for a moment, thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, judging from what Weichen himself has seen and heard, the prefectures and counties occupied by our country have only recovered some vitality in just a few months, as long as the granary is full after this year's harvest, everything is fine, after all, no matter how wars there are, they will not be able to threaten the core of our country." ”
"Our country has recovered, and in front of Jin and Wu, at least it is self-preservation, and when our country conquers Yongzhou and Jingzhou, the world will be unified, and it will be in front of us."
"That's it, let's not talk about it, let's go ahead and have a look." Yang Yi nodded slightly, this is also the consensus of the upper and lower levels, what Chen Shou said, but there is nothing surprising.
Since the Han Kingdom has successfully advanced northward, then the core place can be stable, and the core place of the Han Kingdom is naturally Guyizhou.
Originally, Yizhou has gone through several large-scale wars, especially in the past few decades, the Han State has made countless northern expeditions to the land of Yizhou, and the strength of the entire state has declined significantly.
However, in fact, the total population of the Han Kingdom has been increasing, but it is impossible to convert this increased population into strength.
In the first year of Zhangwu, there were 200,000 households in the Han Dynasty, with 900,000 men and women; However, the number of hukou in the first year of Zhang Wu was not the entire population at the beginning of the founding of the Ji and Han dynasties, and it was only equivalent to the population of Shu County, which was centered on the capital during Liu Zhang's time.
Later, after the prime minister conquered the south and the north and completely stabilized the Yan and Han dynasties, the Han population exceeded 900,000 and there were about 4 million people.
At this time, the number of hukou recorded was different from that of the Han Dynasty, and only a small part of the total population was included in the state and county editions, and more were not included in the household number; There are four types of underreported populations:
The first is the shade attached household registration of the wealthy family, which is several times that of the registered household. According to this, there are at least 400,000 households and more than 1.8 million people in the Han Dynasty alone.
the second type is the military household and the official household; The families of soldiers and officials do not belong to the households, and include their families, and each household is counted as five people, according to which the Han Dynasty has 100,000 or 500,000 soldiers, and 40,000 officials, and 5 people per household is 200,000.
The third is to convert the Tuntian guests into prefectures and counties, which account for as much as half of the total population of the Han Dynasty.
The fourth type is the barbarian tribes that are not registered in the state and county, accounting for half of the state and county households, and there are 50,000 households in the Tuntian area of the Han State, which is less than that of Wei and Wu, but the barbarians, especially in the southern and central regions, account for a large proportion.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty and the sixth year before Jingyao, the size of the region was different, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, only part of the area centered on the capital of Yizhou was occupied.
During the Jingyao period, the area occupied was expanded several times, and even in terms of area, it was not much different from the Wu State, thus constituting the largest space for population reproduction and reproduction.
The natural conditions of the places owned by the Han Kingdom are quite superior, and since the late Han Dynasty, wars and natural disasters have rarely occurred.
The main battlefields of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the early years of the Three Kingdoms were mostly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.
Although the scale of the war was not small, the prime minister went all out, but it was a quick victory, and its negative impact quickly disappeared, and created conditions for the population development of the Nanzhong region.
In the later period of Liu Chan's reign, there were some wars in the border areas of Wei and Shu, but almost all of them were local wars, and the damage was not great, and even compared with Wei and Wu, the Han State was quite peaceful, which was conducive to population growth.
Although the total population in the early years of the Ji and Han dynasties was only about 60% of the corresponding areas in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the population decreased by more than half from the peak of the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the bottom of the population between the three kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, in the later period of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, the population increased at a rate of at least 5 per 1,000 per year, and the Han State basically had a stable political situation for decades, with production development, economic prosperity, and the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the population growth rate would only be higher than this.
By the time of Jingyao, there were already 1.2 million households in the Han Kingdom, with a population of about 6 million.
With this foundation, the Han Dynasty has the opportunity to revive today, not to mention that after the wanton abduction and plundering of the Yi people, only this part of the population, there are millions of Xu, these years, although the Han economy has developed vigorously, but there is not much surplus food, it is because of this million slaves.
These millions of people have shed a lot of blood and tears for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and now several official roads throughout the Han Dynasty are witnesses, from Jiaozhou to Nanzhong to Shuzhong to Hanzhong to Liangzhou to Guanzhong, countless blood and tears are buried in it.
The unimpeded official roads between the counties of Shu allowed the Han soldiers to quickly assemble, and finally won the battle of Guanzhong and completely annihilated the westward expansion army of Wei, and these blood and tears were also worth it.
With this foundation, it is the opportunity to win, but even so, Yang Yi is very cautious.
Now we are still trying to make the foundation more stable, such as absorbing displaced people, the population of displaced people in the northern states and counties has already moved south, and many of them have been absorbed by the legions stationed on the border, and there are also people recruited by the states and counties along the way, and many people in Tuntian have taken root.
However, the absorption of the population is limited, the household department has assessed all states and counties, and now these populations will continue to be diverted to Chang'an, most of them will go to Liangzhou, and some will go south, directly to Jiaozhou.
Those who are to Jiaozhou have already gone, because it is getting warmer and warmer to the south, but not to Liangzhou, because Liangzhou is cold and freezing, and about 30,000 people are trapped in the left side of Chang'an.
At this time, Yang Yi went to inspect the living conditions of these people, and the guards kept a short distance, and the group came to the destination of the inspection.
Chang'an City is now divided into the imperial city, divided into nine squares, a total of eight principals, and divided into two counties, east and west.
And the same is true outside the city, which is divided into nine palaces, with a total of eight counties, which are the ten counties under the jurisdiction of the Chang'an City Order.
The 30,000 displaced people who stayed here were divided into plans to live, and the government provided food and paid for work.
Looking at the homeless camp in front of him, which was well organized, although it was noisy, it was not dirty, Yang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
After the winter, these displaced people will be successively taken to Liangzhou and even the Western Regions Tuntian, but the camp itself will not be demolished, and it can also be used as a military camp or a workshop.
Yang Yi asked: "Chen Qing, do you think that other countries can follow the example of our country's politics?" ”
"Your Majesty, although it is not difficult to imitate, it is not easy to implement." Chen Shou replied honestly.
Even if it is very important to know the people, but the countries will not treat the people like this, there is no surplus wealth is only one of them, and the displaced people have been taken captive by large households and become slaves, which can be replaced by Yi people, but it is difficult for Jin and Wu to do it.
If Wu still has Jiaozhou, it can be captured by the Southern Barbarians, and now that Jiaozhou has been captured, Wu has no target to plunder; And the Jin State still has to rely on the military strength of Beiyi for its own use, how can it capture and plunder the Yi people?
That is, Cao Wei, who lives in Liaodong, can, but although they are all in a corner, the potential of Liaodong is far less than that of Yizhou, and the population is only one million, and the gap of five or six times is difficult to make up for even the resurrection of the prime minister.
Strictly speaking, the Jin State is located in the Central Plains, which is deeper than Yang Yi's roots, but the disadvantages are also deep, for example, the Jin State is not right, it needs the support of major families, and the power is even more complicated.
The Han Dynasty is now very good in all aspects, the military is strong, and one country resists two countries, just like the Wei State faced the Han and Wu countries back then, and similarly, the current sailors of the Han State are also weak.
Although the water division has a series of foundations, Yang Yi still has to build it by himself, the Weihe Water Division and the Han River Water Division, in the past few years, have the confidence to fight a war.
The Wei River Water Division now only retains some basic personnel, and the rest have been moved to the Han River Water Division, which will be another main force when attacking Wu in the near future!
