In order to divide the land, more and more people organized households and people, and the government offices were crowded.

Interests are the most impressive.

After the autumn harvest, the population was also preliminarily counted, and there were 8.73 million people registered in You, Hebei, Qing, Xu, and Yan.

With such a vast land, this number naturally did not meet Yang Zheng's psychological expectations.

The nobles controlled at least three million people.

In addition, foreign slaves are not counted, most of Yuzhou is in the hands of Eastern Wu, and there are many people who fled to the ravine because of the war, and Liaodong also accommodates many refugees.

If it weren't for all kinds of means to suppress Haoqiang, the number would definitely not reach so much.

With a population of more than 8 million, spread out on the vast land of the Central Plains, there is a feeling of a drop in the bucket.

It is not yet the level of a second-tier city in later generations.

So the main problem of this age is not the annexation of land, but the lack of population.

At the peak of the Han Dynasty, the population was 60 million, and the Sima family was at its peak in history, with 40 million.

In the era of cold weapons, population was a symbol of national strength.

Great Qin has a long way to go.

At present, it is not to force the scholars to spit out the three million people, but to provide a stable environment, develop production, eliminate the impact of war, stabilize people's hearts, and gain the trust of the people, and then we can further suppress the scholars and heroes.

This is bound to be a long-term process.

The heroes of the warrior clan will definitely emerge in endlessly, the old ones will go, and the new ones will come again.

It is certainly impossible to completely eliminate it.

The instinct of human beings is to reproduce, and after reaching a certain number, a clan will be formed, and a clan will be strong when it takes a step forward.

Yang Zheng felt that the warrior clan was not terrible, but what was terrible was the loss of restraint, the barbaric growth, no longer taking the world as their own responsibility, but exquisite self-interest, unscrupulous means for power.

The Sima family set an example for the world at worst.

If we want to change these and eliminate the influence of the Sima family, we must reshape the spirit and mind of the scholars.

Zhang Te had just arrived in Yecheng, and Yang Zheng had a drink with him.

"When I followed Your Majesty, I never thought that there would be today, and my subordinates' lives are worth it!" Before he knew it, Zhang Te's temples had been dyed with white frost, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were like furrows.

Yang Zheng is also embarrassed, people are forced, but if the Sima family gave themselves a way to live back then, they would not have come to this day, in fact, in retrospect, it is not how strong they are, but that the Sima family is too bad, and there are a bunch of problems, and the people of the Sima family are not as good as the generation.

"This is too early, Jiangdong, Liaodong, and the Western Regions, I have not yet restored the homeland of the Han family."

Zhang Te smiled: "Haha, the minister just admires His Majesty's courage and perseverance." ”

"I used to be held around my neck by the Sima family's knife every day, can I not be brave and diligent?" Yang Zheng drank a glass of hot wine.

While drinking and chatting, I gradually drank more.

I don't know how I fell asleep.

I also had a strange dream, Sima Yi, Sima Fu, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, Sima Yan and other people from the Sima family stood in front of him bloodily, old and young, men and women, and they didn't say anything, they just stared at themselves coldly, their eyes were empty......

Even in a dream, Yang Zheng didn't feel much guilt in his heart.

The people who died directly or indirectly at their own hands were no less than 100,000 before and after, and they were not worse than their families.

Looking at it, I got annoyed and scolded: "Get out!" ”

The figure in front of him gradually dissipated, and Yang Zheng also woke up, feeling that this dream was too real, and everyone's expressions were so clear.

"Who did Your Majesty tell you to get out of the way?" Liu Heng stood in front of him with wide eyes.

Yang Zheng rubbed his forehead, "I had a nightmare." ”

Liu Heng muttered and didn't say anything more.

Yang Zheng never believed in any ghosts and gods, but many people have died in Yecheng in the past few months.

Those who starved to death, those who froze to death, those who died in battle, and those who annihilated the three tribes......

I was thinking about whether to build a temple and Sima Jia's house in a town.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, if he has this kung fu to build a temple for the Sima family, it is better to get out the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts in advance.

Isn't it to reshape the spirit and mind of the scholars?

This thing is the best tool.

Many people don't want money, they don't want profit, they just want fame.

No, the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts are not enough, but also a traitor temple.

Let the loyal and righteous people live for a hundred years, and let the traitorous people be stinked for ten thousand years......

"Come on, gather the Yecheng craftsmen!" Yang Zheng did whatever he wanted.

The Sima family is still scary when he is a ghost, but this reminds himself, don't think that you will die a hundred!

Besides, the Sima family came to the door by themselves, and they couldn't complain about others, they had forgotten about this stubble, but they wanted to scary people in their dreams......

The craftsmen of this year are as valuable as the later generations of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Zheng attaches far more importance to them than his predecessors, and also sets up a special incentive system for them.

According to Yang Zheng's request, the stone statue of Sima's kneeling family was quickly erected.

From Sima Yi to Sima Yan, what everyone did was written on the stone tablet next to the stone statue, standing on the main road of Yecheng for the people to admire.

Of course, not many of the people can read, more for the readers.

In addition to the Sima family, there are also Jia Chong, Wang Shen, Wang Ye, Cheng Ji and other dogs.

As soon as the stone statue came out, it was simply an empty alley.

The streets were crowded with people, and the ugly things done by the Sima family basically didn't need to be publicized.

Many people in Yecheng migrated from Luoyang and knew it.

Some grumpy people just throw stones and smash them......

Only one night later, and the next day, the statue's head was smashed into powder......

The resentment accumulated in people's hearts instantly found a breakthrough.

Yang Zheng was speechless for a while, and asked the craftsman to repair it.

After spending a few days repairing it, it was still smashed by angry people.

This kind of thing is not easy to dissuade.

After thinking about it, he decided to build an iron statue for everyone in the Sima family.

Aren't Qin Hui and his wife iron?

With the support of the emperor and the gathering of the power of the whole Yecheng, the kneeling statue of the Sima family soon came out.

Cast pig iron, smashed.

The people passing by spit instead......

The Sima family should indeed apologize to the people of the world, although there were unbearable things in the previous generation, but others were sneaky, even Dong Zhuo knew this truth, the Sima family made everyone know, Sima Yi pointed to Luoshui as an oath, openly deceived the people of the world, Sima Zhao killed the king on the street......

Every ugly thing has an impact on Huaxia's moral bottom line.

The most important thing is that the usurpation of the throne will be won, and with great efforts, it is completely possible to cover up his stains with great achievements, but what the Sima family brought to China was only humiliation and darkness......

"Yecheng is not enough, in the future, Luoyang, Daxing, Chengdu, Xuchang, and Jianye will all set up this iron statue."

"Your Majesty, Xuchang and Jianye ......," Zhao Aqi kindly reminded.

"Send someone to inform Zhong Hui to erect an iron statue, if not, I will also erect an iron statue for him next to Sima's house, so that he can stand side by side with Jia Chong." Yang Zheng said with a smile.

Zhong Hui didn't give advice to Sima Shi and Sima Zhao back then, and he was fully qualified.

Isn't this a good reputation? Are you afraid of leaving the stench for 10,000 years?
