Chapter 985: Where is the family gate valve?

When the old and young in Xuchang City were in panic, Luoyang City was a thriving and vigorous scene.

According to Zhao Xing's opinion, the Sili region has been divided into two large states and two directly governed cities, and Luoyang is one of the municipalities directly under the central government. The original Sili Guanzhong area plus Hanzhong County and Shangjun were combined to restore the administrative division of Yongzhou in the Qin Dynasty, and the imperial capital Chang'an became a municipality directly under the central government within a radius of 100 miles; the original Sili Luoyang area plus Nanyang County was combined and named Fengzhou; the original Shangdang County of the Jin State was listed separately and became the third municipality directly under the central government and renamed Guoxing City.

In the future, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, which are too large, will also be replanned one after another, and divided into seven or eight smaller prefectures according to the topography of mountains and rivers and the areas where ethnic groups gather. For example, the northern part of Yizhou was renamed Bazhou, the place where different ethnic groups gathered in the southern part of Yizhou was renamed Changzhou, the Changsha County, Guiyang County, and Lingling County in the south of Jingzhou were combined and renamed Yongzhou, and the counties of Rinan, Jiuzhen, and Jiaozhi in Jiaozhou were renamed Yuezhou.

It has always been Zhao Xing's wish to adjust and redivide the administrative divisions of the Han Dynasty, just because the original fourteen states plus the four northeastern states are really inconvenient for the central government of the empire to centralize management, especially the remote states, which are like enclaves that no one cares about, such as Jiaozhou, Wangzhou, Yanzhou, and the future Yongzhou, Yuezhou, and Changzhou.

Zhao Xing wanted to start from his hands, and let the dense population gathered in the Central Plains region migrate and move in all directions, east, west, north and south, and ensure the control and occupation of these remote areas. At that time, under the situation of extremely backward productive forces and science and technology, people's sense of local and family was extremely strong, and if they wanted to migrate on a large scale, there seemed to be no other way than to escape wars and disasters.

I think that at the beginning, if it wasn't for the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhao Xing would not have been able to attract nearly a million displaced people from all over the country into the Bingzhou area in just a few years, and if there was no one million people to enter the Bingzhou, Zhao Xing would not have enough troops and economic strength to support it until the last moment in the next battle to defend the state.

Later, in order to develop and occupy the Northeast region, Zhao Xing also racked his brains to find a way to fool the people from all over the country to settle down in the Northeast. Fortunately, the Sima family set a plague in the Xiliang area, which frightened half of the population in the densely populated Guanzhong area, and all of them cheapened Zhao Xing.

In terms of how to deal with the large number of family valves and the old and young in Xuchang City, there have been examples for reference before.

After the collapse of the Yuan clan in Nanyang and Zhang Wen, these wealthy families who had been entrenched in the Nanyang area for hundreds of years were uprooted by Guan Yu, and all the land was confiscated, and then redistributed by the newly appointed officials according to the number of local population.

Compared with the later generations of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land", the fate of the Yuan clan in Nanyang is undoubtedly good, after all, Zhao Xing did not find a reason to exterminate these clans, but only scattered them and settled them in various parts of the Han Dynasty. Some of their existing property has not been confiscated enough to allow them to live in their new settlements.

Zhao Xing never worried about cutting the grass and not eradicating the roots, so that these great clans would become behemoths again after a few years, and as a result, they would threaten the existence and security of the empire. It is only because today's Han Dynasty has undergone many major changes from the inside out, especially the ideological concepts of ordinary people and the mode of production of society have moved forward a long way. As long as the state ownership of land is firmly grasped and private buying and selling and annexation are strictly prohibited, then those wealthy families who originally relied on fiefs and land properties to grow will never have the opportunity to unite again and exploit and oppress land as a fundamental productive resource.

The reason why Zhao Xing is willing to let these wealthy families spread out in remote places is because the wealthy families also have some aspects that can be used and guided.

Most of the remote areas are places where aliens gather, and the cultural and educational undertakings are very backward, and the people in many places even live a life of drinking blood and slashing and burning, such as the various ethnic groups in the southwest of Yizhou, and the Rulou and Wofu tribes in the northeast. The family has a rich history, there are many educated children in the family, and because of habits, the family's desire to control is very strong. If these families are separated and migrated to various remote corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, I believe that it will not take many years for them to be submissive to the management of the local indigenous people for Zhao Xing, and even after a hundred years, they will be completely sinicized.

Some people were worried that Zhao Xing's doing this would bury many hidden dangers for the future of the empire, but Zhao Xing smiled and said that this kind of thinking was too short-sighted. Zhao Xing, who knows the history of Wuhu Chaohua, firmly believes that even if these wealthy families really rise again in remote places in the future, it will also be the rise of Han civilization and culture, even if they lead a large army to attack the Central Plains, it is only an internal dispute between the Han people, but it has little to do with the historical tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua.

The struggle under the same civilization can promote the development and progress of civilization. The struggle between different civilizations is often a tragedy of the destruction of a country and a certain civilization.

Zhao Xing definitely did not do the kind of thing that some emperors in later generations would confine all the founding princes and generals in the imperial capital, and they would be slaughtered and suppressed from time to time. Tang Taizong Li Shimin can be described as wise and martial, he was worried that his princes would rise up in the future to create a rebellion against their children, so they confined these people and their children in Chang'an City, but unfortunately the Anshi Rebellion a few years later proved that the old Li family's small-bellied chicken intestines were completely wrong!

The most suitable fate for the founding princes and generals was to send them and their children to farther away so that they could continue to develop for the empire! In the same way, these wealthy families were not predators, and as long as reasonable and detailed restrictions were put in place from the beginning, they would not only not endanger the rule of the empire, but on the contrary, they would become the greatest aid to the empire in controlling remote areas.

According to the early constitutional monarchy fully implemented by Zhao Xing's plan, as long as the central empire firmly controlled the army, grasped the direction of the development of advanced civilization, and supplemented by a reasonable national policy, then the wealthy families and the descendants of the founding heroes who continued to spread outward would still gather under the banner of the Han civilization and strive to push the Han civilization to a more distant place.

Zhao Xing thought that compared with the iron hooves under Genghis Khan, the spread and control of civilization was the real royal road. Barbaric slaughter and burning bring only momentary pleasure, and do not give birth to a brilliant and lasting great kingdom.
