In all dynasties, people could not survive due to disasters, so they would take the initiative to migrate to big cities.

Big cities have more resources and more rich people, although you need to risk starving to death halfway when you leave your hometown, but since you are waiting to die when you are affected by disasters in your hometown, it is better to go to the big city to fight and see if you can find hope of survival.

This is the escape from the famine.

But the problem is that in ancient times, people were not allowed to carry out large-scale independent migration, and they had to have a guide to go out, and no road guide was equivalent to a strongman, and the government would severely punish them after they were caught.

Although in the face of this famine situation, the chief officials of big cities with a little conscience will choose to open the city gates and accept relief for the people, but if you really don't open the city gates, it makes sense.

Especially in the case of Chang'an now, being on the border, there was an enemy movement some time ago, how do you know, after opening the gate of Chang'an, all the people who came in were people? !

What if there is an enemy army and instigates chaos after entering the city?!

Therefore, Zhang Xi's decision to open the gate of Chang'an City was at a certain risk.

But now, Zhang Xi has to do it.

If the city gate is not opened to accept the affected people, and it is up to the local officials to deal with these victims, Zhang Xi is really not at ease.

The county commanders, county lieutenants, and county officials of the forty-six counties in Guanzhong are basically new melons and eggs who have only been in office for less than half a year, if they are just inexperienced in governance, then there is an understanding, if there are two people in the middle who are bad-hearted, or who do not take the life and death of the people seriously, then it will be really troublesome.

There are not many resources for winter, and we can't afford to "middlemen make the difference".

Of course, the opening of Chang'an is not entirely uneasy for local officials, and the most important thing is that Chang'an has enough houses to resettle some of the victims.

Not to mention anything else, Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there are not a few palaces in the city, and most of the families in the city have been relocated because they have been fully favored, and there are also a lot of vacant houses.

Theoretically speaking, these houses are not qualified to be opened to ordinary people.

Chang'an Palace, whether it is empty or not, it is a royal property, a private property belonging to the emperor. Is the place where the emperor lives a place where people can come and go at will?!

And the Maison's industry is not very active.

You don't care if these families have migrated to Guannai, but the title deeds of these houses are always in the hands of others, and these houses are people's property.

Even if you are a Yongzhou thorn, you can't occupy it.

This is not a question of whether Zhang Xi has the right or not, but the consensus of the world's families, even if the families who stay in Chang'an have nothing to do with these internal families, if Zhang Xi dares to occupy the properties of these internal families, then the families who stay in Chang'an will also attack Zhang Xiqun.

This is a matter of core interests, this opening cannot be opened, once it is opened, then the local officials can requisition the family's property at will, let alone the emperor. Is this still worth it?!

To say small, the Chang'an family will not agree, and if it is bigger, the world will not agree.

Therefore, when Zhang Xi said that he would open Chang'an City and accept the affected people, no one raised any objections, but when Zhang Xi said that he would requisition the ownerless houses in the city and open the royal palace to resettle the people, his subordinates jumped out one by one to oppose it.

I really don't blame these people, because since ancient times, no official has treated the people like this.

Standing in the position of Jiang Wan, Chen Yi, Huang Quan and others, they really can't understand what their own assassination history thinks.

Indeed, as a local governor, it is my duty and responsibility to govern the local government and provide disaster relief to the people. You don't have to do that, do you?!

Forget about the big family, there is a way to negotiate, but the royal family industry is so active?!

Chen Yi couldn't help it anymore, Chen You, who had never been against Zhang Xi, also stood on the opposite side of Zhang Xi this time, and bitterly persuaded Zhang Xi to give up opening the royal palace.

The main thing is that it doesn't sound good to say.

Zhang Xi, as a minister of Tuogu, should have framed the monarch and assisted the country, but now without the consent of the Son of Heaven, he opened the royal palace to the people to live in.

Is this what a minister should do?!

Not only did Chen Yi think so, but Jiang Wan, Huang Quan, and even Liu Yin and Hu Zun, who heard about the matter, also sent documents to express their opposition to this.

Liu Yin said that although he was incompetent, he would not let the people go to live in the palace of the Son of Heaven, but it was a big deal that he opened his county guard mansion and left it to the victims to live, and he took his family to live in the military tent.

Hu Zun said that there are many families in Chang'an City, and if Zhang Xi opens the empty houses of the families in the city to the people to live in, it will inevitably hurt the heart of the family, and please think twice.

The more Zhang Xi listened, the more he felt that this matter seemed to be a little different from what he thought. It's true.

Zhang Xi originally thought that most of the people who opposed his decision were also concentrated on the side of the family.

After all, the influence of the family in these years is very great, although the number of the Chang'an family is a lot less, but after all, there are still a lot of people left, and the encroachment on the family's industry will definitely be seriously resisted by the family.

But who knows, these subordinates, they are actually more concerned about the issue of the Son of Heaven's palace, and for the family, these people basically don't take it seriously.

Jiang Wan and Chen Yi said that dealing with the family is negotiable, even Hu Zun, as the spokesperson of the Guanzhong family, the statement he gave is only that the family will be "sad" because of this, and hope that Zhang Xi will "think twice".

So.

"According to your opinion, at this time, it will damage the royal prestige but not the face of the family?!" Zhang Xi asked a little bit that he didn't quite understand.

Chen Yi explained helplessly in this regard, "Even if this matter is not appropriate, the family is not more than the royal family, the royal matter, face is at stake, and between the families, after all, you can get understanding, you only need to pay one or two for the assassination." ”

That means, the family, as long as the interests are in place, it is not impossible to appease and discuss.

Jiang Wan nodded slightly, but said with some disagreement, "In the past, in the first battle of Guanzhong, the Guanzhong family mostly followed the Wei thieves into the customs, and this was a move to abandon the Han and Wei." The first emperor was benevolent and did not pursue it, but now the people in Guanzhong are suffering, and the family is worried about the country, which is a righteous act, so how can there be opposition? ! ”

That means, those families who moved to Guannai really have to be strictly investigated, and Liu Bei can deal with them according to the crime of treason, and confiscate their property is also in the past. It's just that Guanzhong had just been occupied at that time, and there were many concerns, so I didn't do it.

Now it's just borrowing the assets under their names to help the people, and they themselves are no longer in Chang'an, so we have the final say on how to arrange it, as long as we publicize to the outside world that these families are empty houses that they take the initiative to lend, it will also be good for their reputation among the people, why not?!

Jiang Wan's attitude was a little tougher.

But Huang Quan still said, "The Guanzhong family is in decline, but it shouldn't treat the old man like this, it's the Central Plains, the Hebei family." If we decide the wealth of the family so easily, it will inevitably attract criticism. However, this assassination is just an emergency, and the assets of the family are temporarily opened, and they are not taken for themselves, and they can be returned to the family afterwards and compensated. Hu Taishou's intention is also true. ”

In the end, Huang Quan still stood in the perspective of the family and helped say something.

The meaning of this is actually to tell Zhang Xi that there are few families in Guanzhong now, and they naturally dare not face the power in their hands, and it is Zhang Xi, the assassin of Yongzhou, who is entrusted to the lonely minister.

That's why the rhetoric in Hu Zun's document to Zhang Xi is so soft.

But in the same way, what these families are worried about is not that Zhang Xi wants to open up the properties of those families who have moved inward, but that they are most worried that Zhang Xi will confiscate the properties of these families under the pretext of this.

If you confiscate the land of these internal families and redivide it, this is understandable, after all, everyone has run away, and no one has come to farm, so the land can't be left barren forever.

No magnanimous monarch will be polite to you on land issues these days.

But things like houses are different, they are not worth a few dollars in themselves, but they have great symbolic meanings, and if even this asset is to be encroached upon, the families will definitely not be able to accept it.

Therefore, the Guanzhong family actually passed a bottom line to Zhang Xi through Hu Zun - it can be opened to the people for refuge, but it cannot be taken for themselves, and it must be returned afterwards, and a certain amount of compensation must be given.

This compensation. Although the families who have moved to Kannai can't get it, they can't do without it, even if they pretend to be there.

After figuring out the thoughts of the group of people under him, Zhang Xi suddenly became enlightened.

If you said it earlier, if you knew that the Guanzhong family was so easy to speak, then the rest of the things would be easier to handle.

Zhang Xi immediately wrote a letter to Hu Zun, asking him to tell those families on his behalf that the requisition of houses to resettle the people was only a temporary move, and it would be returned afterwards.

dignified Yongzhou Thorn History, I can't look down on those empty houses.

As for the Chang'an Palace. Zhang Xi didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

At least in Zhang Xi's view, the opening of the Chang'an palace complex is the least problematic.

With Zhuge Liang's character, as long as you can appease the people and help the people, you are asking to give up the palace in Chengdu, and he Zhuge Liang dares to be the master.

Again, this matter is actually not without benefits to Liu Chan.

Now in the early Han Dynasty, the people's hearts have not been attached, and they have suffered such a serious snow disaster. If Liu Chan issued an edict to open the Chang'an palace complex to resettle the victims, who would be the most grateful person after the disaster rebuilt their homes? !

Since ancient times, how many emperors in the world would be willing to open their palaces to the people to survive disasters?!

Liu Chan ascended the throne as a new monarch, what is the most lacking? !

It is the will of the people and prestige.

Liu Chan only needs an edict to make the people of Guanzhong appreciate Liu Chan's kindness, which is easier to make the people grateful than any administrative measures to pay taxes.

Even if Liu Chan didn't realize what this move meant, Zhuge Liang would help him realize it.

Therefore, Zhang Xi is really not worried that Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang will disagree with this matter.

However, what the family said also makes sense.

As a minister of Tuogu, and being outside, it is really not good to act without an edict.

Therefore, Zhang Xi has to play this matter specifically and go through the process. After the sparse music was sent, Zhang Xi didn't wait for the Son of Heaven to reply, and directly asked Chen Yi to prepare for the opening of the palace.

After doing these things, Zhang Xi could barely breathe a sigh of relief. There is a place to live, there is no shortage of food for the time being, and the only thing that is lacking is probably the problem of heating in winter.

There's not enough charcoal.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xi immediately entrusted Huang Quan to contact the heads of the major families in Chang'an City, and Zhang Xi, the assassin of Yongzhou, wanted to invite someone to dinner.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Xi is going to "turn his fate", it depends on whether the Guanzhong family is willing to give him this face.

There is not much official storage of fire carbon, but Zhang Xi believes that there should be a lot of inventory in the hands of these Guanzhong families, depending on how to let them take it out.
