0865 Sworn Soldiers
If this idea put forward by Li Qianzhe can be fully implemented and considerable benefits can be obtained, then the benefits will not only be in Xiangzhou, but also of great significance for the integration and development of the Lingnan region.
Therefore, Li Tai also postponed other matters for the time being, and began to have serious discussions with Li Qianzhe and several Taiwanese officials related to the ministry.
The Jiangnan area has a long tradition of planting cane and eating cane, such as when Yu Xin was arranged to guard the Vermilion Bird Truss during the Hou Jing Rebellion, he did not forget to gnaw on the sugarcane. Therefore, sugarcane planting technology and disease prevention and control have a certain amount of technology accumulation. At this time, discussing the expansion of the scale of cultivation is not considered a void painting.
However, the first step of Li Tai's ambition was difficult: sugarcane cultivation is a labor-intensive industry, and the demand for labor exceeds the demand for agriculture of the same size.
This means that if you want to expand sugarcane cultivation, you have to have a large number of people, and you have to have a sufficient agricultural base to feed so many people, so you need more people.
Li Qianzhe returned to the government this time, an important purpose is to ask for people, he did not dare to open his mouth, but only put forward the hope that the people who were forcibly moved from Xiangzhou to Jiangling by the Southern Liang court before could be returned to their hometowns, so as to restore the popularity of Xiangzhou.
Otherwise, the barbarian tribes in the surrounding mountains and wilderness would have to go out of the mountains and occupy the fertile land around Dongting Lake. However, these barbarians do not have rich farming technology, nor are they suitable for farming and weaving for a living, and the social structure is not suitable for agricultural society, once a large number of them appear around Dongting Lake, barbarian riots will inevitably break out. It is not the barbarians themselves who are greedy, but the social structure and way of life.
Li Qianzhe's idea itself is to focus on tuntian, supplemented by cane planting, and speed up the process of educating the barbarians through the cultivation of cane, an industry with high economic output, so that the raw barbarians can be transformed into mature barbarians as soon as possible.
If we want to plant sugarcane according to Li Tai's idea, then the scale of agriculture and the labor force need to surge, which is by no means something that the current livelihood foundation of Xiangzhou can bear.
Nowadays, it coincides with the post-Three Kingdoms period, and the frequent wars for many years have caused the population to drop sharply, and the population of the Western Wei itself is not large, and the Southern Liang, which is no longer a country, is even more miserable.
Among the Three Kingdoms, the better situation is estimated to be Northern Qi, after all, Hebei occupied by Northern Qi is the best in the world in every aspect at present. For example, Gao Yang has been conquest of Mobei forces such as Rouran and Turkic for many years, and millions of people have to be requisitioned to build the Great Wall.
If Xiangzhou's industrial planning is arranged according to Li Tai's ideas, the population required is not a gap of tens of thousands, but tens or even millions of population input. And after Li Tai conquered Jiangling, he only collected more than 300,000 people. As for the number of Xiangyang, it is even smaller, not even less than 100,000, which is already the result of his coaxing and deception of the powerful clan in Xiangyang and expanding the number of patronage populations.
Therefore, if you want to carry out large-scale industrial expansion in Xiangzhou, it is estimated that after the Northern Qi Dynasty is destroyed, a large number of people will be migrated from Hebei to Xiangzhou before it can be initially realized.
In order to promote the integrated development of the entire Lingnan region according to his ideas, the population needed can no longer be satisfied by migration from other regions, but can only rely on the increase of the population of natural production, and it is estimated that he, his son, and his grandson will have to focus more than half of their energy during the reign of him, his son, and his grandson.
After Li Tai deduced from the members of the Communist Party, the pride and ambition in his heart gradually cooled down, and he knew that the harm caused by the tyranny of the government was even greater than that of the lazy government. The recovery and development of the social productive forces has its own law, and if you want to promote and accelerate this law, or even directly throw this law aside, then the status of the Holy Monarch of the Sui Yang Emperor's Internet Temple is afraid that it will not be guaranteed.
Although the current objective conditions do not allow such changes, but there are big things to do, small things to do, at least for the time being, we can carry out some exploration and accumulation based on the existing conditions, if the results are all positive feedback, then gradually expand the scale, become one of the main tasks of the empire to determine.
But even if it is a small one, it is difficult to get on the right track with the current situation in Xiangzhou itself, and it still needs a certain degree of support.
Aside from the number of people who fled the war and were killed and wounded, the population that has been recorded in Jiangling has migrated from Xiangzhou to Jiangling since Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang was still the king of Xiangdong and killed his nephew Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong, and has successively migrated as many as 50,000 people from Xiangzhou to Jiangling.
However, it is difficult for these people to be completely reassigned to Xiangzhou, because although Xiao Yi moved people out of the countryside, it was only to weaken the local resistance in Xiangzhou, and it was not a planned population management, so although so many people were moved out, in fact, very few people were effectively resettled.
Although the Gangneung Governor's Office now also retains the relevant books of the former Gangneung Imperial Court, there is no record of the whereabouts of those personnel, so naturally there is no way to pursue them. Now that most of the population of the Gangneung Governor's Office has been effectively resettled, it will undoubtedly be another harm if people are summoned and reinstated.
Therefore, after listening to the reports and opinions of the government officials, Li Tai could only allocate more than 30,000 people who had not yet been resettled in Jiangbei to Li Qianzhe, who would bring them back to Xiangzhou and settle them along the periphery of Dongting Lake.
arranged such a difficult situation in Xiangzhou to Li Qianzhe, but as a result, the Taiwan government could not give full support here, and Li Tai was also very embarrassed, so he could only say again: "Jianghan is newly determined, all industries are waiting to be developed, and now all parties are in an emergency. Xiangzhou can only start with difficulty for the time being, and only when it is handed over to General Li can I feel a little relieved. The general is good at the difficult task, and there are very few competitors in the mansion. Although there is a shortage of personnel, in terms of resources, the Taiwan government will also try its best to meet the needs of the people."
Wearing a high hat and beating chicken blood, after all, lip service is not enough, Li Tai is certainly not the boss of this kind of trick gun, since the required personnel cannot be matched, then try to meet it in terms of materials.
After all, after the Taifu eats Jiangling, the harvest of materials is really fat, except for Gao Yang, who is out of the circle quickly, Li Tai estimates that there is no richer power boss than him at the moment. Yuwentai? Yuwentai didn't work back then!
Although the demand was not satisfied, Li Qianzhe was still very relieved to hear Li Tai say this, at least the king really understood his hard work, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The last general is a native of Shannan, if it were not for the appreciation of the king in the old years and opened the mansion, when the destiny of heaven is transferred, I am afraid that it will inevitably perish with the grass and trees, and the clan will die. Now that the king is a confidant and an official, he should sacrifice his life to repay him, so why be afraid of any hardship! I will do my best to live up to the king's use."
After expressing his position, Li Qianzhe said: "In fact, in terms of resources, I also talked about it in the discussion with the Brazilian tribes before, these kinds of long-term thirst for sugar profits, there are quite a lot of savings, if it can be led out of Sichuan, used to reclaim the mountains of Xiangzhou, it is also a good!"
Li Tai also nodded after hearing this, and was very satisfied with Li Qianzhe's open-mindedness, and after a little silence, he also said: "Although the Taiwan government does not have resources at the moment, if they are happy to work together, they don't have to refuse. The barren mountains of Xiangzhou are only temporary, but the benefits in the future are long-lasting. Xu Wensheng used to do things in Ningzhou, I want to return it to its place now, this clan can bring troops together, after making some contributions, why don't I hesitate to divide the mountains and wilderness and put everyone else!"
Ningzhou is the Yunnan-Guizhou region of later generations, Xu Wensheng previously served as the assassin of Ningzhou in Southern Liang, and led his troops to the north to enter the king of Qin during the rebellion of Hou Jing, and took refuge in Li Tai. At this time, Ningzhou was in a state of disorder, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that it resumed its rule, but its local barbarians had also become stronger, and they could only be restrained.
At present, the military pressure on the Taifu side is not too strong, and Li Tai wants to take the opportunity to let Xu Wensheng return to Ningzhou again, inherit the ruling tradition of the Southern Liang in his local area, and not let the influence of the Central Plains Dynasty cause a fault in this area. Bashu and Yunnan-Guizhou regions also have close exchanges, and leading the Bashu people southward to strengthen influence and control is also a way to govern the border.
"The king is far-sighted, and he can't do anything."
When Li Qianzhe heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head and said.
Because the Ba people's assets needed to be introduced after the expedition to Ningzhou, Li Tai ordered the Jiangling Governor's Office to allocate a part of the grain to Xiangzhou nearby, at least until the local harvest in Xiangzhou this autumn.
In addition, Li Tai arranged his third brother Li Ao to serve in the Xiangzhou Prefecture, hoping that Li Qianzhe could teach on his behalf. Now that Xiangzhou is in ruins, how to go from waste to governance is definitely a very enlightening process, if his third brother can see it from beginning to end
It has been proved that it is more effective than studying hard in the study to increase the growth of talent.
As for preventing Li Qianzhe from having any in-depth exchanges and schemes with the Pakistani people, that is completely non-existent. Suspects don't need it, the main thing is to be open-minded.
The arrangements for Xiangzhou in this regard came to an end for the time being, and at the same time, the news from all sides, which was somewhat depressed after the Battle of Jiangling, also came again after a period of brewing.
First of all, in the Western Wei Kingdom, the six-official system was officially implemented, and Yuwentai also officially evolved into Otsuka Zai, and the other five officials were Dasitu Li Bi, Dazong Bo Zhao Gui, Da Sima Dugu Xin, Da Si Kou Hou Mo Chen Chong and the new Si Kou Da Xi Wu. As for Li Tai, the pillar of the foreign dynasty, he did not get pork.
At the same time, Yuwentai appointed his eldest son Yuwenyu as the head of Longyou Xingtai, Dou Luning as the head of the Xingtai, and his sister-in-law Yuwenjue as the head of the Kanto Xingtai and Li Yuan as his long history, and announced that the Chinese and foreign governments would concentrate their forces and launch the Eastern Expedition to Northern Qi again.
This Eastern Expedition to the Northern Qi Dynasty is obviously a political slogan to re-establish the military and political center of the Chinese and foreign governments, and it is also the fundamental reason why Yu Wentai was able to serve as the head of the overlord.
But another thing had a certain impact on Li Tai, when Yuwentai swore to fight Qi, he slaughtered Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang by the way, which cut off the possibility of Taifu and the remnants of Southern Liang again.
Li Tai had already expected this situation, and the recall of He Ruodun from Bashu was precisely for this purpose. When this news reached Xiangyang, Li Tai immediately appointed He Ruodun as the assassin of Yingzhou and went south to prepare for the changes in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
