Chapter 956: Grassland

Kanto was cleaned up and down.

There are a large number of vacancies for scholars who have graduated from Taixue, and many of them have been sitting on the cold bench for many years.

There is also a place for retired soldiers.

This inventory of the Kanto region was tantamount to an operation for Daqin, cleaning up the rotten body and making the whole country healthier.

The real family background of the entire Kanto region has also come out, 237.68 million mu, with a population of 2.73 million households, or about 15 million.

This data is basically consistent with the short-lived Taikang prosperity in history.

With the population and fields of Guanzhong, Shuzhong, the Western Regions, and Jiangdong, the population of Daqin is about 24 million, and the cultivated land area is about 400 million mu.

Only by knowing how many people can accurately collect how many taxes and how much land can be cultivated, can the country operate normally and healthily.

Of course, the current Great Qin is much larger than the historical Western Jin Dynasty.

Actual control of Liaodong, southern Xinjiang, and Monan.

The important places along the Silk Road are also basically pinched in the hands, and the Dawan Basin, the Seven River Basin, and the Hezhong Rich Areas have also been added.

On the contrary, it seems that these populations are a little thin.

It is precisely because of the lack of population that cultivated land is mainly concentrated in the Central Plains and Guanzhong Yellow River Basin, and the Yangtze River Basin in the south is not fully developed, mainly concentrated in Jianghuai and Jingxiang, as well as Jiaozhi in the south.

Yang Zheng is not in a hurry to develop land, and always leaves room for development for future generations.

More than 400 million acres of cultivated land, plus pastures on the grassland, are enough for the current population of Daqin to eat and drink.

Yang Xu wrote a letter requesting to continue the inventory of the entire Jiangdong.

He has more than 30,000 elites of the Chinese army by his side, and Jiangdong has Wang Jun to cooperate, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After unifying the world, Yang Zheng didn't pay much attention to Jiangdong, nor did he invest too much energy, and the population and land were calculated according to the data in the classics of Wu.

With the miasma of the Wu court, the nobles and heroes are about to go to the house to uncover the tiles, and how much water is in the data can be imagined.

Yang Zheng replied and asked Yang Xu to let it go.

Only by seeing the most authentic Great Qin can we better govern in the future.

Yang Zheng's mind was on the pasture.

In later generations, Monan gradually became desertified, and a major reason was overgrazing, with more sheep and less grass.

Historically, Henan was still a fertile grassland for the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Helian Bobo was fascinated by the green mountains and beautiful waters here, and he recruited 100,000 husbands, worked for six years, spent hundreds of millions of yuan, and built a unified city.

But in the Middle Tang Dynasty, due to the migration of too many party members, overgrazing, it gradually turned into a desert.

The same is true for Mo Nan.

To the north of Yinshan, the desert is full of sky, which is also caused by overgrazing by the Huns and Xianbei people.

Fortunately, desertification is not very serious in this era.

Many rivers have not dried up either.

After consulting with the officials of the three provinces, it was decided to adopt the same strategy as that of Tanshi Huai, and divide Monan into five divisions.

First, the grassland will be broken up to facilitate management and prevent the rise of various departments, and second, the rotational grazing system will be adopted to allow the grassland to be cultivated.

The Jinshan Mountains are set up as Jinshan Mansion, the grassland between Juyan and Yanran Mountain is set as Yanran Mansion, the grassland north of Helan Mountain to Dai County is set as Monan Mansion, Shanggu County to the west of Daxianbei Mountain is set up as Xing'an Mansion, Daxianbei Mountain is changed to Daxing'an Mountain, and the grassland north and east of Daxing'an Mountain is set up as Songmofu.

Each province is stationed with 1,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 herding cavalry, and then divided into four or five pastures.

Scatter the entire steppe to avoid the emergence of powerful clans.

Any tribe that is no longer above the household registration of the Great Qin can be levied at will.

When the population of any tribe reaches 5,000 tents, half of them are forcibly relocated to the interior.

The children of the nobles of each tribe need to study in Taixue for three years, and Yang Zheng prepared a room of four books and five classics of Confucian classics, as well as Buddhist scriptures and Taoist collections, for them, encouraging them to become monks and Taoists, and if they don't want to become monks, they will learn Confucianism.

Of course, the prairie is just too big.

The area that Great Qin can control now is only the area south of Yanran Mountain and Guyan Mountain, and the area further north and west cannot be covered.

Even if it can be occupied for a short time, it cannot be controlled for a long time.

Even the Qin people of Xianbei and Xiongnu descent could not adapt to the bitter cold and harsh environment there.

Everything is cost-effective.

Forced to build cities in those areas, it is likely that decades later, the wild tribes of Mobei came into contact with the fire of Chinese civilization and became the place where they arose.

Greed can't chew more, there is enough land in Great Qin.

With the productivity of this era, it is really impossible to control such a distant place.

So Yang Zheng can only make a fuss about people's hearts.

Encourage monks, Confucians, and Taoists to enter the desert, educate all departments, and build Buddhist temples, Taoist halls, and Confucian temples on the grassland.

Even in the era of the information explosion in later generations, there are also large numbers of people who have been fooled and lame by Western public opinion, let alone this era?

Great Qin can be said to be the gentlest to the grassland tribes among all dynasties.

In general, try not to move the knife if you can.

He also actively accepted them, slaves, waiting to return, governing the people, one-stop service, and after more than ten years, he could become a Qin person.

This was unthinkable in the Han and Wei eras.

However, the most enterprising is Buddhism.

As soon as they heard that Buddhism could be spread in the grassland at will, the monks of Guzang seemed to be beaten with chicken blood.

Spread in the Central Plains, it is both a degree and a household registration, and the management is extremely strict, the monks are not able to be if they want to, and the temple is not open if they want to.

On the grassland, it can be expanded at will.

This is a great attraction for monks.

Their ability to travel tens of thousands of miles from Tianzhu, all the way through Central Asia and the Western Regions, and into the Central Plains shows their vitality.

In this regard, Confucianism and Taoism are a little worse.

At this time, the Daomen was still in the development stage, the theories of religion and religion were not yet mature, and what the Daomen advocated was a willful nature, so there was no interest in expansion.

Confucianism has always despised the surrounding Yidi, and the poor people on the grassland have no pants to wear, and drink the northwest wind every day, can they be expected to study with peace of mind?

Studying and practicing martial arts requires a certain economic foundation, and it takes a lot of time, and the people in the northern part of the desert can't eat enough, so do they still have the heart to do this?

Unlike Buddhism and Western religion, a few kowtows every day are devout believers......

It was Yang Zheng who forced it, and Confucianism reluctantly went north.

One is to be happy, and the other two are to catch ducks on the shelves, and the gap will naturally come out.

Therefore, Yang Zheng can only let Confucianism and Taoism take the elite route and let Buddhism take the bottom route.

"Confucianism and Taoism are in the same stream, why doesn't Your Majesty let Confucianism and Buddhism merge as well? Integrate the Confucian scriptures into the Buddhist scriptures. Ji Kang, who rarely showed up, heard this and immediately gave Yang Zheng an idea.

Professional matters should still be handed over to professional people.

The fusion of Confucianism and Buddhism is not the Zen Buddhism of later generations?

As long as it can spread Chinese civilization, it must be used if it can be used.

Historically, Buddhism prevailed in the Western Regions, plateaus, and grasslands, which shows the strong vitality of Buddhism.

"Ji Zhongsan is really my Great Qin Wenzong!" Yang Zheng praised.
