0659 Intolerable

Wei Yan persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, in the past, King Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and he also 'migrated the world to 120,000 households in Xianyang'. But the Qin Empire finally perished, at the hands of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms! Today's Southern Shi Clan, although different from the nobles of the Six Kingdoms in the past, its power is still not to be underestimated! ”

"They have lived on that land for generations, and they have long since left their homeland. If Your Majesty forces them to move to Daliang, lest these scholars become dissatisfied and cause trouble in the future! ”

Hearing this, Ran Min's face did not change and did not speak.

On the side of the Dali Temple, Xu Ji has always been at odds with Wei Xuan, but he almost has to do anything against the latter's advice, Xu Ji is a typical licking dog, the emperor's licking dog, born with a "traitorous" face!

Xu Ji suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Wei Xuan's words are wrong!" Qin Shi died in the harsh government, not in the nobles of the Six Kingdoms! If Fusu succeeds to the throne, the Qin Dynasty can continue, or Qin Shi Huang can live for a few more decades, it is estimated that there will be nothing to do with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. ”

"Xu Ji, do you have to go against me?" Wei Yan's face sank.

Xu Ji sneered and said, "Lord Wei Hu, what I said is true. Unlike you, you like to be alarmist! What's wrong with Your Majesty's migration of the southern scholars to Daliang? Don't forget, after His Majesty destroyed the Jin Dynasty, he also migrated the Sima clan, as well as the Yu family, the Wang family, the Xie family and other wealthy families with the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Daliang, and I didn't see any trouble with them. On the contrary, the entry of these family gate valves has made more people pour into Daliang, making Daliang's industry and commerce more developed! ”

Hearing this, Wei Yan gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Can Wang Xie and the other families compare with all the Southern Shi clans?" Wang, Xie, Yu, Chen, Xun and other scholars were originally scholars in the north, but they were forced to follow the Jin family to move south due to the invasion of the Hu people, but they still have a certain foundation in the north, and when they return to the north, they can also live a very nourishing life. But the scholars in the south are different, they have lived there for generations, and suddenly come to the north, to Daliang, I am afraid that they will not adapt to the water and soil, and then give birth to different hearts! ”

"What Lord Wei said is really ridiculous!" Xu Ji sneered: "Your Majesty wants to migrate the Southern Shi clan to Daliang, this is a wise move!" As Lord Wei said, His Majesty's practice of migrating all the scholars in the south to Daliang is similar to Qin Shi Huang's practice of migrating the world's wealthy 120,000 households in Xianyang in the past! ”

"Qin Shi Huang did this back then, because he had his practical considerations. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms, but there were so many nobles in the Six Kingdoms, no matter how brutal he was Qin Shi Huang, he couldn't kill them all, right? Therefore, Qin Shi Huang chose to migrate all the nobles of the six countries to Xianyang, and put them under his nose to watch! ”

"The power of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is very strong, and their prestige in the homeland of the Six Kingdoms is extremely high, and their roots are deep, and they are now the southern scholars of today! The southern nobles of the empire were powerful, operating in their own country for hundreds or even millennia, often disobeying or simply ignoring the edicts of the imperial court. The southern scholars are equivalent to a local emperor in their homeland, and even the officials sent to the local area by the imperial court will be ostracized and even assassinated without being in the same stream with them! ”

"Let me ask, how can the imperial court effectively manage the southern states? Don't you still sit back and watch them grow like this? ”

"Moreover, the scholars in the south have a lot of secrets, and they are the ones with the most spending power! With these scholars here, they can stimulate the economy of the Great Liang and even the entire north to the greatest extent, so that the empire can recover as soon as possible and create an unprecedented prosperous era! ”

In fact, Xu Ji was right, he actually defeated Wei Yan, who was eloquent and eloquent, for a while.

The ministers were lost in thought.

They all knew that it was a conspiracy for Qin Shi Huang to move the nobles of the Six Kingdoms back then, but without this conspiracy, Xianyang might have become a dead city.

In 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, and after he unified the world, there was a very important move: to migrate the world to 120,000 households in Xianyang.

In short, it is to migrate the nobles of the six countries scattered all over the world to Xianyang.

How many people are there in the 120,000 wealthy households in the world?

In ancient times, the population was often calculated with "five" as the basic unit, and according to this standard, 120,000 households was 600,000 people, but this algorithm was aimed at the common people, and if it was aimed at the nobles, they had to add their relatives, disciples, slaves, etc., adding up to more than 600,000.

The migration of no less than 600,000 people is not as simple as moving from A to B.

For example, where do 600,000 people live after moving to Xianyang, they have been separated from the original land, have no source of livelihood, and what will they rely on to live in the future, etc., even in modern times, it is not a simple matter, let alone in the Qin Dynasty, where the transportation conditions were not developed.

These 600,000 people are scattered all over the place, and they are basically influential figures in the local area, and if they are killed, not to mention the cruelty, once Qin Shi Huang wields the butcher's knife, he will definitely complain to the world.

Qin Shi Huang just ruled the world, and what he thought about was how to make the world return to his heart, so that the people of the world would willingly obey and support his rule, so he couldn't kill it, that is, if he didn't kill the nobles of the six countries, it was not Qin Shi Huang's mercy, but the situation forced him, since he couldn't kill it, then stay where he was?

The question is, the nobles of the six countries have lost their country and status, can they be willing? Therefore, it is certainly not safe to stay where you are. Taken together, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms have become a hot potato that can neither be killed nor given up, so what should these people do?

For this reason, Qin Shi Huang must have consulted the opinions of his ministers, coupled with his own careful consideration, so he could only think of migrating and moving to Xianyang.

Ran Min believes that Qin Shi Huang did this based on three considerations.

First, Xianyang is the political and economic center of the Qin State, and under the nose of the imperial court, the nobles of the six countries will be moved to Xianyang, so that the imperial court can monitor and control, and if there are any bad signs, they can also be dealt with in time.

Second, the prestige of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms is in the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, and in the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, they can call for wind and rain and be omnipotent, but if they are moved to Xianyang, they can be uprooted from the homeland of the Six Kingdoms, and they will be completely cut off from the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and the possibility of their rebellion will be eliminated from the root.

Third, aristocrats mean rich, after they arrive in Xianyang, at least they have to consume, so much wealth flows into Xianyang, Xianyang can't do it if it wants to be lively, and it can't be underdeveloped.

Before dominating the world, the population of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was 250,000, and after the domination of the world, especially after the completion of this great migration, the population of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, soared to 1.2 million at once!

Ran Min's current thoughts are actually similar to Qin Shi Huang when he just ruled the world.

The scholars in the south are too powerful, their trees are big and deep-rooted, they have been entrenched in one place for hundreds of years, and the business of more than ten or even dozens of generations has long been full-fledged, and they are not controlled by the imperial court at all, and they ignore the decrees issued by the imperial court.

In some remote places, such as Ningzhou and Jiaozhou, they nominally belonged to the Great Wei Empire, but in fact they were still at odds with the Zhenla people, Cham people, and Funan people in the south, and sometimes the leaders of some tribes even claimed to be kings and hegemons, similar to an autonomous region.

They didn't even pay taxes to the imperial court!

This is absolutely intolerable to Ran Min!

Seeing the ministers arguing endlessly, Ran Min was bored, so he said: "If you don't migrate these scholars to Daliang, I will simply kill them all in one go!" ”

“……”

The entire court was suddenly silent.

After a while, Wei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you should move all the scholars from the south to Daliang." ”

Ran Min bowed slightly: "Hmm." However, there were many scholars in the south, and they probably brought a lot of people with them. In this way, Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry are responsible for coordinating this matter, and with the cooperation of the Ministry of War, it is time for Daliang City to expand! In my expectation, the population of Daliang can accommodate two million people! ”

"Your Majesty, this is really too difficult for a strong man."

Cui Hao stubbornly said: "The treasury is very rich now, but if you want to build Daliang into a city that can accommodate two million people, it can't be completed in a short period of time, not to mention, this place is not enough." If you have to do this, you have to enclose the land outside and occupy several nearby towns. ”

Ran Min waved his hand and said, "I have allowed all this. If you really can't do it, you can just raise the houses a little higher, row upon row of buildings! ”

"Obey the order!"
