Chapter 0383 Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones
A wedding banquet made Anhua City, which has always been shrouded in a burst of depression, finally usher in the first wave of excitement in the past two years;
;;;; And in the distant city of Chang'an, Liu Ying, the son of heaven, is also worried about the future of Andong County.
;;;; Sitting in the Qingliang Hall with Wang Ling and Yang Chengyan, the faces of the three monarchs and ministers all had a lingering worry on their faces.
;;;; As for the reason, there is only one.
;;;; -- The natives of Andong County, as well as the 'marriage' of the members of the various farming regiments.
;;;; Even in later generations, women are always reluctant to marry in areas that are too far away or too poor, let alone today, when communications and transportation are extremely underdeveloped;
;;;; As for the Korean Peninsula, or the 'Andong County' that has now been incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, the views of the women of the Central Plains are basically still at the level of 'a group of leftovers who do not have enough to eat, and are emigrated by the government'.
;;;; In the future, will there be women who are willing to marry in the northwest and plateau?
;;;; The same reason: in today's Han family, no one wants to marry far away from the border, let alone marry into a land of new clothes farther away than the border: Anton.
;;;; Central Plains women are reluctant to marry far away, and the life events of the bachelors in Andong County can naturally only count on Liu Ying, the son of heaven, to have a headache.
;;;; - If a man can't marry a daughter-in-law, there will be a big problem
;;;; Especially in this era when the concept of 'passing on the family lineage' is still very strong, marrying a wife and having children is every man's lifelong pursuit, no matter how good and rich a place is, as long as you can't marry a daughter-in-law, you can't keep people.
;;;; It is true that the current 'Hanmin' in Andong County is basically in the form of a tun farming group, immigrating to the 'remnant' group of the past;
;;;; Within three to five years, these new immigrants will still have to live in semi-militarized collectives.
;;;; Even in the future, if there are really people who want to leave because they can't marry a daughter-in-law, and there is a strict household registration system and population movement control of the Han family, it will be difficult for these people to escape from Andong back to the Central Plains.
;;;; But as the saying goes: blocked, it is better to be sparse.
;;;; Blindly and persistently coercive high-pressure policies will not solve the fundamental problem.
;;;; In order for these immigrants to willingly take root in Andong and make the Korean Peninsula 'since ancient times', the Chang'an court must not only ensure the production and living problems of these new immigrants, but also take into account more realistic marriage problems.
;;;; How can a piece of land of new clothes be 'since ancient times'?
;;;; The answer is: immigrants enrich the population and, through three to five generations, bring the place under the control of the central government.
;;;; To put it more bluntly, it is to let the people who immigrated here say in authentic Chinese after 100 years: My family has lived here for generations.
;;;; Since it is to reproduce, it is obviously impossible to achieve such a goal by relying on the cultivation group alone and relying on a group of rough men.
;;;; In this way, the reason for Liu Ying's headache also surfaced.
;;;; - Where to go to find a family for this group of bachelors?
;;;; - How to find a reason for these tens of thousands, and possibly even hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of bachelors in the future, to 'take root in Anton for generations'?
;;;; Wang Ling has his own views on this issue.
;;;; "Your Majesty."
;;;; "The minister still thinks that the pawn of the tun farming group should be allowed to marry freely among the local people;"
;;;; "Only in this way can we make today's cultivators turn into the citizens of Andong County in the future."
;;;; With a deep voice, Wang Ling took another deep breath and expressed his concerns.
;;;; "Only before, the disadvantages of what Cao Xiang said should not be ignored."
;;;; "——Today's Andong has obtained three commanders of Pyongyang, the north, and the east, with a total of 23 cultivation regiments; The garrison of these three divisions is nearly 60,000 people; ”
;;;; "However, the people of the court in the old Joseon are still ruled by separate households, and they are not regarded as 'Han people'."
;;;; "If Andong is allowed to marry freely among the people of the late Korea, then the people of North Korea will have no wives to marry, or they will go south to Malaysia, South Korea, Jinhan and other countries."
;;;; "In this way, Anton can use all the strong labor for this south-facing tribe for nothing······"
;;;; Full of worry when he said this, Wang Ling also sighed, closed his eyes and thought about it.
;;;; At the beginning of this year, Prime Minister Cao Shen was bedridden due to illness, and the imperial physician gave a conclusion: birth, old age, sickness and death are normal human feelings.
;;;; If nothing else, as early as this summer and autumn, and later next winter, Cao Shen will also come to his end.
;;;; The prime minister was seriously ill, and Wang Ling, who had long been designated as the successor by Emperor Taizu Gao, stood up as a stand-up and took over all the affairs of the prime minister's mansion as an internal historian.
;;;; And the problem of Andong County was also put on the Chang'an court with the more frequent reports of the county guard Lu Lu.
;;;; -- After two years of hard work, the Pyongyang Governor's Tun Cultivation Regiment, which arrived at Anhwa City at the earliest, has basically completed the task of clearing the land for its headquarters;
;;;; By next spring at the latest, the Pyongyang Governor's Tun Cultivation Regiment will complete the work of clearing a total of 400,000 mu of land required by the regimental members of the headquarters.
;;;; 2,000 people, 400,000 mu, is also in accordance with the standard of '200 mu per person' set by Liu Ying that year.
;;;; Now, the members of the Tun Farming Regiment, who are close to completing their tasks, have also begun to think about their future.
;;;; The task of clearing the land was completed ahead of schedule, and the transformation of the Natun farming group into farmers naturally had to be advanced;
;;;; According to the rules of the court, next autumn, when the 400,000 mu of land of the Pyongyang Governorton Cultivation Regiment will be harvested, it will be the time when the Pyongyang Governor's Regimental Cultivation Regiment will be disbanded on the spot and become the Andong County Governor's Office, the 2,000 'peasant households' in Anhua City.
;;;; In the past two years, the 400,000 mu of land reclaimed by the Pyongyang Governor's Tun Cultivation Regiment will also be distributed to 2,000 regimental soldiers at the rate of 200 mu per household in accordance with the promise made by the court in those years.
;;;; For the 2,000 regimental soldiers, this means 'starting a career';
;;;; Now that you have 'established a business', the next thing is naturally to start a family.
;;;; The acres of land have been opened up by their own hoes; The farmhouse has already been sent to his own hands.
;;;; Then, naturally, the beautiful life of the wife and children on the hot kang is beckoning to the two thousand regimental soldiers.
;;;; However, in the report sent back by the county guard Lu Lu, the two thousand soldiers were all pessimistic about their future 'life events'.
;;;; The reason is very simple: in today's Andong County, there are not many Central Plains women at all!
;;;; The troops sent by the court to garrison, as well as the more than 20 cultivation regiments, are all men without exception!
;;;; In desperation, the court held the mentality of 'taking chances', and issued a decree this spring, allowing the soldiers of the Pyongyang Governor's Tun Gengjia Regiment to take their families who were willing to take refuge in them to Andong, and the court would bear the travel expenses;
;;;; The result was not what Wang Ling expected: there were thousands of people in the entire 'family' team, and there were only more than 50 women of marriageable age.
;;;; In the Antona territory, it is naturally impossible for these fifty women to marry the local natives, and there is a high probability that they will be absorbed by the Pyongyang Governor's Tun Cultivation Regiment;
;;;; But out of the 2,000 regimental soldiers, only 50 of them solved the major events in their lives, which undoubtedly told the Chang'an court bluntly: The Central Plains woman can no longer be counted on······
;;;; What's more: these fifty comrades who took the lead in starting a family are likely to make the rest of the regimental soldiers even more eager to marry and have children as soon as possible!
;;;; In this way, the issue of 'starting a family and starting a business', which was originally shelved indefinitely by the Chang'an court, suddenly became a little urgent.
;;;; The Central Plains woman can't count on it, and the first thing that comes to the court's mind is naturally 'relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water' - let the tun cultivators find their love among the local aborigines.
;;;; However, this proposal has once again put the issue of the resettlement of the local indigenous people in North Korea on the table······
;;;; "Hmmm······"
;;;; "The worries of An Guohou are also my worries."
;;;; On the royal couch, Liu Ying, the son of heaven, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
;;;; "If the pawns of the tun farming regiment are the wives of the local Korean remnants, then the rest should also be measured."
;;;; The reason couldn't be simpler;
;;;; For the local natives of North Korea, the establishment of Andong County means that these people have become theoretically 'Hanmin',
;;;; However, before the establishment of Andong County, when the local natives of Korea were organized into households, the Chang'an court did not include these people in the 'peasant register', but in Andong County, the 'folk register' was invented for the first time in history.
;;;; Nationality, as the name suggests, is the household registration of the people.
;;;; However, in the Central Plains, although the groups such as Shinong, industry and commerce are also counted as 'people', no one has ever been included in the 'people's registration', but according to their origins, they are included in the agricultural registration, business registration, or official registration and palace registration.
;;;; This is like in later generations, mathematics students will have calculus, algebra, geometry, statistics and other courses on the curriculum, but there cannot be a course called 'mathematics';
;;;; The people of the Han family have peasant and commercial registrations, and even official and palace registrations, but they will not have 'civil registration'.
;;;; After the war of the Eastern Crusade to defend Korea, the people who had lived under the rule of Korea were included in the 'national register';
;;;; The soldiers of the tun farming regiment that were subsequently sent to the local area were included in the local 'peasant register'.
;;;; After that, between the local people and the various farming groups, it can also be said that the well water does not interfere with the river water.
;;;; -- The tun farming group took the city as the center and reclaimed the barren land in all directions; The local people still rely on the survival skills left by their ancestors to fish and hunt.
;;;; The tun farming group is a semi-military collective, and the regimental soldiers basically have no other private property except for the farmhouse, so there is basically no communication between these regimental soldiers and the locals.
;;;; When the sky was over, the generals of the tun farming regiment came forward and exchanged collective property for some materials with the local people.
;;;; In the past two years, the well water has not interfered with the river water, and finally the local people's uneasy hearts have gradually settled down, and they have become accustomed to continuing to live in the local area as 'Hermes-Epitek'.
;;;; But for these people, the Chang'an court has not yet determined the resettlement plan.
;;;; The core of the problem lies mainly in the living habits of the local people.
;;;; It has been proposed that the locals should be directly included in the peasant register, and bear taxes, taxes, as well as military service and labor service in accordance with Han law;
;;;; However, the unique way of life of the local people made it impossible for the court to make up its mind to collect agricultural taxes from these new Han people.
;;;; - Because the way of life of the vast majority of Korean natives is to fish in spring and summer, and then occasionally go up to the mountains to hunt, and then use autumn to make all the prey into jerky!
;;;; Collecting agricultural taxes on such groups?
;;;; How to receive?
;;;; Thirty taxes one?
;;;; For every thirty fish caught, pay one of them as a tax?
;;;; And what about the mouth?
;;;; Forty dollars per person per year?
;;;; Or according to the market price of the fish, how many more fish will be collected?
;;;; In addition, the military service and labor undertaken by the people of the Central Plains are also difficult for these groups who take fishing and hunting as their way of life.
;;;; There is no other reason: the execution of military service and labor service is based on the fact that the peasants guard the fields at all times and do not go far at all.
;;;; However, almost every spring, the Korean people, who live by fishing and hunting, leave their homes and go to various parts of the rivers to fish, depending on their families, clans, and tribes.
;;;; It is not until mid-summer that these people end their fishing and begin their safaris in search of more meat.
;;;; During this period, the men of the tribe went out to hunt, while the women and children were responsible for handling the prey, making dried fish and meat that could be preserved for a longer time.
;;;; In the autumn, these people will return piecemeal, nest in their caves or tree hollows, and quietly wait for winter to come.
;;;; This made it impossible for the Han family to implement the military service and labor service system in the Central Plains to be copied to these Korean natives.
;;;; Here's a very simple example;
;;;; One summer, Andong County wanted to build a road, so he sent officials to recruit labor, but it turned out that the Koreans within a radius of hundreds of miles did not know where to go to catch fish!
;;;; Or in the autumn of one year, Andong County decided to organize winter training and let young people participate in military training according to the practice of the Central Plains, but their legs were almost broken, and they couldn't find the hole where these people lived······
;;;; To put it bluntly, the headache of the Chang'an court is that the local natives of North Korea have extremely high mobility;
;;;; Going out to fish and hunt and not to mention, even the residence is the same as the Huns, wherever they go.
;;;; I originally lived in the tree hole for a few years, but when it looked unpleasant, I lost it;
;;;; Or in a certain year, when you come back from fishing and hunting, you are likely to find a similar place on the spot, and make do with the cat winter.
;;;; And unlike the Central Plains, when a farmer is gone, the government can still ask the neighbors - the indigenous people of North Korea live in tribes, and as long as they are lost, they are all lost by the entire tribe of the 'system'!
;;;; Officials want to find it, but they can't find anyone to inquire at all!
;;;; The unique way of life naturally made the Chang'an court rack their brains, but they couldn't find a solution.
;;;; As an expedient measure, the 'people's nationality' has survived since the Eastern Expedition to defend Korea.
;;;; At this moment, the issue of the resettlement of the local indigenous people has also been put on the table here with the problem of the can't marry a wife of the tun farming group.
;;;; This time, even if the court wanted to delay, it was already a little unable to drag on······
;;;; "Hmmm······"
;;;; "I think that it may be feasible to 'marry a girl and a member of the tun farming regiment, and the family will be registered as a farmer in Andong County', and it may be tried out in the Pyongyang Governor's tun farming regiment."
;;;; "Wait for the next year, and then discuss the abolition or continuation of the effect of this policy."
;;;; Hearing Liu Ying's words, Wang Ling and Yangchengyan thought about it again and again, and finally gave up their orders.
;;;; National integration may cause many unexpected problems;
;;;; For example, Korean male natives who have lost the right to marry may go south to foreign vassal states such as Mahan and Jinhan, and Andong County will lose some of its strong labor.
;;;; But right now, there is no other way for the Chang'an court.
;;;; - After all, even if Andong County does not lose these strong labors, he still does not know how to use them······
