Chapter 0375 - Immigrating to North Korea

"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang !!"

"Come on, come here, come closer!"

Under the arrangement of the road, a young official struck the gong in his hand vigorously, while not forgetting to beckon the newcomers passing by to come forward.

When Lubu was surrounded by old and young women and children, the little official put down the gong in his hand and smiled flatteringly at the scribe beside him.

Seeing the scribe smile lightly and bowing his hand, he turned sideways and bowed to the onlookers.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Your Majesty's edict: North Korea's new uniforms require immigrants to the real side; All the people of the Han Dynasty, the dukes and the peasants of the upper and lower households can go to the local county government and report their names and desecrations······"

Before the scribe could say his first word, the onlookers became nervous, and they were about to disperse.

Even if the previous little official was from a different background, the expressions on everyone's faces did not waver at all.

——For the ordinary people in Guanzhong, and even the whole world, the real side of immigration is not a new topic for a long time.

As early as after the First Emperor swept away the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, immigration to Shibian has become the national policy of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The year before Great Qin unified the world, that is, in the twenty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, the 500,000 troops of the southern expedition composed of soldiers from Qin Guanzhong crossed the five ridges for the first time under the leadership of the commander Tu Sui.

Although the initial stage of the war was ineffective, and the commander Tu Sui also died on the battlefield, Qin Ting did not give up the south, but changed to Ren Huan as the commander and Zhao Tuo as his deputy, and continued to attack Lingnan.

After eight years of continuous conquest, in the thirty-third year of the First Emperor, the First Emperor finally completed the great cause of pacifying Lingnan; The whole of Lingnan was thus included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

From the 33rd year of the First Emperor of Lingnan to the 37th year of the First Emperor of Yingzheng's death in the sand dunes, there has been a steady stream of ordinary people who have been forcibly moved to Lingnan from all over the world.

Among them, the first batch of immigrants who moved to Longchuan County because Qin Longchuan ordered Zhao Tuo to play were more than 100,000 households, as many as 500,000 people······

In the south, it is 'immigrants to strengthen the south of the Lingnan', and in the north, it is a period of blood and tears that are difficult to face.

- The Great Wall of Qin!

In order to build the Great Wall of the Warring States such as Yan and Zhao, and finally form a Qin Great Wall that was more than several miles long, countless ordinary people, or 'people of the Six Kingdoms', were forcibly requisitioned to the north to participate in the construction of the Great Wall.

Of course, Qin's 'immigrant Shibian' is not only Lingnan in the south, but also the Great Wall in the north.

In the southwest of Yi, the Qin court also briefly tried to build a Qin straight road, although in the end, due to the complex local geographical environment, poor traffic conditions and gave up, but the first emperor Yingzheng, who was unwilling to give up completely, still ordered in that wild land, leaving a very Yingqin characteristics of the 'five-foot road'.

Baiyue in the south, the Great Wall in the north, plus the 'five-foot road' in the southwest, and the Qin Straight Road that is criss-crossed all over the world, and even paved beyond the Great Wall······

It can only be said that the death of Qin II has almost no half-dime relationship with Zhao Gaolisi.

- In this era, whether it is a road or the Great Wall, it is a project that is extremely dependent on manpower!

In order to spread the Qin Straight Road throughout the known world, the scope of the Qin court's levy and conscription has even extended from the 'people of the old Six Kingdoms' to the old Qin people in Guanzhong!

The national infrastructure work is already complicated and heavy, coupled with the fact that corrupt officials and corrupt officials are making some benefits in the middle, and the world is crowded, and even the old Qin people abandon the Ying family, which is obviously an inevitable thing.

- Your old Yingjia Fen VI Yu Lie, we ordinary people, but we have not contributed less?

As a result, the world is unified, and your old family doesn't want us to live a good life, and you still want to take our lives to fill in the straight road and the Great Wall?

I'm going to you!

Eh, who's that name, right?

Yes, I'll come over and discuss something with you······

In this way, Yingqin Sheji, who has enjoyed the country for more than 500 years and nearly 600 years, was abandoned by the people of the world in Xianyang City along with the third generation of children.

And Liu Bang, who first entered Xianyang, made three chapters of the law with the people, and restrained his subordinates to 'not commit any offense in autumn', has also won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and in the end, he was able to establish Hanzuo.

Since the demise of Qin was because the people of the world, including the old Qin people in Guanzhong, were overwhelmed by the complicated labor and taxes of Yingqin, and the establishment of the Han family was also because of Emperor Taizu Gao's 'Three Chapters of the Law' and 'Autumn Innocence', then everything that followed came naturally.

- Diametrically opposed to the high-pressure policy of the Qin court, almost on the first day of his succession to the emperor's throne, Liu Bang set a national policy for the Han family: to pay light taxes, change with the people, and let the world recuperate.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Xiao He sewed and patched up a roughly identical, but more humane and humane "Han Law" on the basis of "Qin Law".

The biggest surprise between the "Qin Law" and the "Han Law" is that unlike the violence of "Qin Law", which often "sits" and "clan punishment", "Han Law" contains more milder words such as "fine" and "demotion".

This is especially true with regard to conscription for hard labor and military service.

In the "Qin Law", whether it is labor service or military service, it is like the Smecta of later generations, which is compulsory;

It is not that the "Qin Law" requires everyone to be a soldier, but when someone is designated as a 'soldier', the designated person must be called, and there is no room for change.

If he is not called, the result will be the same as that of Smecta in later generations - punished with treason;

As for the punishment, it is even more appalling that the 'clan punishment' and 'even sitting' are coming, and the relatives and neighbors are all dead.

Historically, there are also related theories, which are famous in later generations.

In the first case, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang responded to the call and went to defend Yuyang as 'soldiers', but the time limit was delayed due to the destruction of the road on the way, so they had to resist and set off the famous Daze Township Uprising;

As for the second case, it is the transformation process of Liu Bang, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, from 'Qin Surabaya Pavilion Chief' to 'Caokou'.

——Like most counties in the world, Pei County at that time was also arranged by the Qin court to be conscripted into labor and sent to Lishan to build the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

As the chief official of Pei County, Xiao He handed over the arduous task of escorting labor to his old acquaintance: Liu Bang, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion.

Xiao He was dispatched, and Liu Bang did not doubt him, so he led a group of laborers and embarked on a long journey to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, a few people in the team heard the rumor that 'the labor left the hometown, and there was no return', so they fled at night on the night of departure!

In the relevant provisions of the "Qin Law", if someone in the labor team escapes, the entire team needs to sit together······

In desperation, Liu Bang could only give up his plan to go to Guanzhong, and gathered the rest together and said: Someone slipped away, even if we arrive on time now, we will all have to sit and die.

Then, it was Pei Gong's hangover, and then the night cut the white snake, and the grass fell into the grass, until the first emperor died, and the world was in chaos······

From these two incidents, it is not difficult to draw conclusions: how strict the provisions of the "Qin Law" are for military service and hard labor, and how often the word "lianza" appears in the "Qin Law".

In stark contrast, when Xiao He drafted the "Han Law", he obviously deeply learned the lessons of 'Chen Shengwu Guangze Township Uprising' and 'Pei Gong released prisoners and fell into the grass';

In the regulations on military service and hard service, Xiao He revised the "must" and "sitting" in the "Qin Law" in turn.

-- According to the provisions of the Han Law, military service and hard service are drawn by county-level units on a 'household' basis in accordance with the method of drawing lots;

The families who are selected need to send a man over the age of 17 to participate in the specific work.

Unlike the mandatory requirements in the "Qin Law", the "Han Law" opens an opening for the situation that "the callee is unwilling to serve".

- Those who do not want to serve can pay to hire someone else to replace them, or directly pay the employment fee, and the local government will hire someone else.

Although in most cases, the people who are called up will still serve in person, but it is ultimately out of the consideration of 'saving money';

Compared to the "Qin Law" in the "must go!" If you don't go, you're dead! In "Han Law", the human touch of "you can pay if you don't want to go", and "if you really can't draw someone, you can go again next time", obviously makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

Moreover, such humane regulations also give people more choice.

For example, if it is such an easy job as road maintenance and channel dredging, people can naturally go there in person to save money for their families;

However, if it is a high-risk job such as the construction of cities and mausoleums, the people are also willing to pay to hire other people to avoid the risk of 'ruined families'.

As for who would be hired by the people to perform in more dangerous labor?

- A slave of a rich family, raised to do this!

Different from the vast majority of feudal regimes: the Han family requisitioned labor to participate in infrastructure work, which was not completely unpaid~

One meal a day and five dollars are almost the 'minimum standard' in all parts of the world.

Although such a standard is a pitiful amount for the common people, it is very considerable for the slaves raised by rich families.

- Slaves!

- The common people only eat two meals a day, and they are only seventy percent full, and the slaves can eat one meal a day, which is already a rare good day!

As for the 'conscription allowance' of five cents, as well as the 'mercenary money' paid by the people, it naturally went into the pockets of the slave owners.

In this way, the state was able to meet the infrastructure construction goals, and the local government was able to meet the conscription targets;

Ordinary people were able to avoid high-risk work, slave owners received a government subsidy, not to mention a mercenary payment, and people paid for the food and accommodation of slaves!

It can be described as a real win-win-win, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

In such a political and contemporary background, it is inevitable that the people of the Han family will naturally resist 'labor' and have the confidence to resist.

- Emperor Lao Tzu has to ask us the opinions of the common people for labor, even if we have to go, we can spend money to hire people!

You are a petty official with a thousand children and 800 stones, and you still want to force us?

Close the door!

Please three elders!

Even if the government levies labor, the people have the confidence not to go, not to mention the 'real side of immigration'.

As long as it is not compulsory, then there will never be anyone who wants to leave their hometown, abandon their family and business, and run to places where birds don't.

As for compulsory levy?

- Your old Liu family, is this Jiangshan too comfortable to sit on?

- Look up, look!

——Across the Weishui River from Chang'an, it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Lishan!!

Seeing that as soon as everyone heard the word 'immigrant', they made a gesture of dispersion, and the scribe couldn't help but look bitter.

It wasn't until the little official coerced and seduced everyone and persuaded everyone to come back that the scribe cheered up again and looked at the pair of guarded and suspicious eyes in front of him.

"Everyone, don't leave in a hurry, don't leave in a hurry······"

"Your Majesty's edict is not to forcibly call the people to move to North Korea, but to advocate the people to go spontaneously."

"Even if you don't want to go, why don't you be impatient, listen to the hadith, and then it's not too late to go?"

Stiffly smiled and said a word, seeing that everyone stopped in disbelief, the scribe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly explained the content of the 'Edict of Immigration' on the Lubu.

"Your Majesty's words: The new place of North Korea is vast and sparsely populated, although it is a little cold, but the arable soil is extremely wide, the rivers and mountains are closed, and the soil is very fertile!"

"Between the mountains and forests, there are endless beasts, and there are no birds of prey and evil beasts."

"Therefore, those who relocate to North Korea are not real borders, but they can't bear to be such fertile land, and they are inhabited by foreigners, and there are ······ them."

The scribe sprinkled a passage, but it didn't make the onlookers interested at all, or 'Have you finished speaking?' Can I go? 's indifferent expression.

Seeing this, the scribe had to smile bitterly again, and continued: "Your Majesty has issued an edict: Anyone who is willing to go to North Korea will be given 200 acres of land!" ”

"Big acres !!"

"In addition to the field, there is another brick house, a farmyard, and a ploughing cow for every 100 households!"

"What's more······"

The more the scribe spoke, the more excited he became, but the onlookers finally couldn't hold back any longer, and their expressions were cold, and they dispersed in the direction of their respective homes.

200 acres of fields, a brick house, a farmyard, and 'one cow for one hundred households'······

At first glance, it does sound very attractive.

But no matter how fanciful the scribe said, he couldn't adapt a reality after all.

- These things have to go to North Korea before they can be sent to everyone;

The local feelings carved into the soul of the Chinese people make every Chinese person, as long as they can live in their hometown, they are unlikely to be willing to go away.

Of course, if it is a metropolis like Chang'an and Luoyang, or a metropolis like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in later generations, it is not a matter of words.

But even in later generations, leaving their homeland to go to the Western Regions and the Plateau is ultimately unwilling for most people.

No matter how much money is sent, how much land is sold, and no matter how beautiful the future is promised, it is the same.

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, the scribe only bowed his head stiffly, as if to reflect on his wording, whether there was something wrong with it;

As for the little officials on the side, they knelt on the ground in the direction where everyone left, stunned.

——The county decree promises: For every person who signs up, two people will be rewarded with ten yuan each······

Just when the scribes and officials were extremely disappointed, thinking about whether to continue to stay under the dew cloth tomorrow and interpret this 'edict of immigrants to Korea' to the local people, a thin figure quietly walked out of the street not far away.

Sneakily stepped forward, and looked at Lubu as if he didn't understand, and the young man finally got emboldened, and gently pulled the sleeve of the Laven's shirt.

"I, no field, house, Jue... Lord ······"

"If you go to North Korea, you should eat and eat on the way, and I don't have the money to buy ·········."

ps: Gongshi, the first rank of the 20th rank of the Qin and Han Dynasty Military Merit Lords, that is, the lowest level.

No matter how low it is than the prince, it is 'no lord'.

What is a no-lord?

Either they are minors who have not yet been 'mastered' and who are not separated from each other and still live with their parents, or they are slaves.
