Chapter 328: The Pride of the Great Han
The first is the allocation of some of the canal migrants to Liaodong, which is a compulsory policy of the state, but other preferential aspects are the same as voluntary immigration.
Second, Liaodong was included in the list of exiles, and the feudal society paid attention to family sitting, and for some serious crimes, their family members and close relatives would often be exiled to remote areas.
Liu Zhi was very opposed to bureaucracy and slavery, so he abolished the rule that there was no slavery in the law, anyway, now the Han Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and many remote areas need to be filled with population.
As a result, the criminals were basically sentenced to exile as much as possible, and after the past, they were managed in a unified manner, which was almost equivalent to the model of collective labor camps.
In ancient times, the life of exiles was very miserable, and they were generally forced to perform high levels of labor, usually beating or scolding, and starving.
Therefore, the crime of exile is basically a change of color for the families of the criminals, because they are all pampered people, and they are rarely able to endure this hardship, and most of them are difficult to come back alive.
For this reason, Liu Zhi specially set up a supervision system, although these people are criminals, but they must also ensure the minimum food and clothing.
The amount of work is also distributed according to the specific situation of the person, and it is not allowed to overwork.
Now that the Han population is lacking, it is no longer possible to careless about human life as before, which has also become the consensus of local officials everywhere.
Because Liu Zhi linked the comprehensive population index to political performance, that is to say, it has a direct relationship with their future.
But even so, Liu Zhi is not worried about the problem of population explosion in the future, because the local medical conditions in this era are too poor and the infant mortality rate is too high.
Speaking of the development of Liaodong, due to the severe cold in the local area, crops can only be planted for one season.
Therefore, in the minds of most people, they will think that it is remote and bitter cold, and it belongs to barren land.
In fact, because the land in Liaodong is soft, it does not cost much to cultivate compared to the hilly areas of the south of the Yangtze River, where the land is cohesive.
The black soil there is very fertile, the yield per mu is significantly higher than elsewhere, and the winters are long, so there are very few pests and diseases.
The most important thing is that even though you are in the north, you can grow high-quality rice and soybeans, and because of the relatively long planting cycle, the taste and aroma of the grain are excellent.
"Have you ever eaten the high-priced fragrant rice? That is what Liaodong produced. ”
Hanxiang rice has only appeared in the Jingshi market in recent years, and with its soft and glutinous and fragrant taste, it has quickly become a popular food for the aristocracy.
However, due to the scarcity of the quantity, it is expensive, more than five times higher than ordinary rice.
Rare is expensive, not to mention that cold fragrant rice is indeed a good taste, so it has a price and no market, and it must be bought by people with heads and faces.
Before, everyone thought that this rice was trafficked from abroad, so there would be a shortage of phenomenon, but they didn't expect it to be produced in Liaodong.
"I can't imagine that Liaodong is actually a land of fish and rice, and it is indeed worth developing."
With this impression at the bottom, Yuan Xuan then introduced other specialties of Liaodong in detail, as well as the current development.
"And these investments are not without returns, and the construction of Zhuojun City can attract a large number of laborers and many merchants.
The houses built are not free for them to live in, but they can be paid in installments, or a part of the money can be offset by free labor each year. ”
The idea of installment payment was naturally conceived by Liu Zhi, and of course, it is very different from the commercial loan model of later generations.
The main purpose is to quickly attract a part of the residents, so that the county town can prosper as soon as possible, especially those workers who participated in the construction, can be given priority to the allocation of houses.
Such a novel model made everyone's eyes shine and began to have a heated discussion.
"If it is said to be paid in installments, there should be a time limit, and it is impossible to give it all in twenty or thirty years, so the financial recovery cycle is too slow."
In the last decade or so, the country's economic development has become a top priority, and officials have spoken of economic jargon.
"That being said, if it is set too short, the people's lives will be stretched thin and very embarrassed."
"This house can be divided into three, six, nine and so on, if you have money, you can also get a discount if you pay directly, and if you don't have money, try to choose a low-grade house."
"It's better to take it for five to ten years, and if there are no special circumstances in between, it can only be regarded as a rented house when it expires.
The rent will be deducted, and the rest will be refunded and the deficiency will be compensated. ”
……
The ministers were thinking about it, and it was clear that they all attached great importance to this new thing.
After a while, the detailed rules of the installment payment had been supplemented, and then they began to discuss how to use Zhuojun City to drive the economic development of the entire Liaodong.
Needless to say, the role of the first administrative aspect is that the future governor of the northeast will be located here.
The second is naturally the role of transportation, and in the future, roads can be built from Zhuojun to Liaodong to shorten the transportation distance on both sides.
So that the specialties of Liaodong can be transported to all parts of the country more conveniently and quickly......
Yuan Xuan successfully changed the direction of the topic and unconsciously led everyone's thinking astray.
So after a vigorous discussion, the financial budget of Zhuo County City was also successfully approved.
As for the candidate for the governor of the Northeast, no one objected, and after so many years, Chen Yu had already proved that he was qualified to sit on an equal footing with them with his own strength.
Although he was born in a civilian family, he had a more difficult career than others, but because of his outstanding learning, he was affirmed by many celebrities at that time.
So invisibly raised his social status greatly, so that people ignored his origin.
Most of Chen Yu's six sons have also achieved academic success, the eldest son Chen Ji, the second son Chen Zheng, and the fourth son Chen Zhan have all entered the official career with the imperial examination.
Chen Ji is now serving as a waiter in Zhongshu Province, Chen Zheng is serving as a county magistrate somewhere in Jiangnan, and Chen Zhan is in the Hanlin Academy.
His third son, Chen Qia, stayed at home to serve his mother and did not participate in the imperial examination, but it is said that his literary talent is not inferior to that of his brothers, but his ambition is not here.
The remaining two sons were born to Chen Yu's step-family, one Chen Qun and one Chen Zhong, both of whom are underage, and I heard that they are also talented.
In the future, I am afraid that it will also be the young phoenix and the old phoenix.
In the Han Dynasty, the Chen family and the Xun family have a fight, both father and son are two generations of excellent, but the Xun family is a family, and the ancestors are obviously prominent.
Unlike Chen Yu, he has only developed since he started, and he is still a late bloomer, and he is much worse in terms of background.
However, his experience is still very typical, after all, before this, it was difficult for a Confucian from a civilian background to be in such a situation.
This has also inspired thousands of poor children and civilian students, at least Chen Yu's experience has given them hope.
In the last few imperial examinations, the share of commoners' children has increased significantly, and the number of children of poor families is gradually catching up with the children of the family.
Although in terms of the overall base, the children of the poor family are still not as good as the children of the family, but the acceptance rate of the children of the poor family is higher.
Therefore, the final gap has been narrowed, and now among grassroots officials, the children of poor families have long become the norm, and even the children of ordinary people are no longer an uncommon thing.
After more than ten years of educational development, some talented and talented children from poor families have seized the opportunity to make the entire class show a rapid rise.
At present, large schools have been built in various county-level units, mainly for the children of poor families and civilians.
In particular, as long as the children of ordinary people can be admitted to schools and have excellent grades, they will be subsidized by the government to provide scholarships to solve their tuition problems.
And because of the high cost of books, every school will rent textbooks for the children of ordinary people, which is much cheaper than buying.
If you are diligent, you can also take the time to transcribe it slowly, which can save a lot of money.
Even so, the vast majority of the children of the common people still do not have the opportunity to study, but there are schools for teaching crafts and training institutions for teaching how to farm all over the country.
Therefore, the quality level of the Han people has improved rapidly over the years, and young people can basically do simple arithmetic and know some ordinary Chinese characters.
Of course, there is still a long way to go in the quality education of the entire Han Dynasty, and the most important thing now is to raise this atmosphere.
This August, good news finally came from the border, Huangfu Gui and Duan Cheng, as well as Quan Xu, broke through the Far East and completely annihilated the remnants of the Huns.
The vast land was incorporated into the territory of the Han Empire, and the territory was expanded again.
However, this battle can be described as twists and turns, the Huns are as brave as hungry wolves, and when they are forced to hurry, they will also do a dying struggle.
Duan Cheng was in a hurry to wash away his reputation, so he did not hesitate to go deep alone, but he ended up in the other party's ambush circle and was almost made dumplings.
Fortunately, Huangfu Gui predicted in time and sent Quan Xu to the rescue, and the counter-encirclement was achieved by attacking from three sides, and finally achieved unexpectedly good results.
It is precisely for this reason that even if he won a big victory, Duan Cheng was still very ashamed, and he sent it along with the good news from afar, as well as his letter of guilt.
In the letter of guilt, he said that he had been arrogant and a little carried away all these years, and if it weren't for Huangfu Gui's accurate strategic prediction this time, he might not have been able to come back.
If the whole army is really destroyed, it will not only damage the lives of him and the vanguard army, but also the glory and prestige of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he asked himself to take away the post of general of Zhenxi, disarm and return to the field.
Liu Zhi looked at it and groaned for a while, suppressed the letter, and when the battle report was announced, he only said that it was a lure strategy that the two generals had discussed in advance, so as to hide his guilt for him.
It's not that he bends the law for personal gain, after all, Duan Cheng's strength is there, and his ability cannot be denied just because of a defeat in a battle.
The so-called generals have a reputation in a hundred battles, and Li Ling, a famous general in the period of Emperor Wu, had outstanding achievements in his life, but because of the defeat in the last battle, he was ruined.
was even exterminated by his family, which can be described as a tragic end, and for more than a thousand years after that, some people continued to cry out for this famous general, thinking that he was one of the most unworthy generals in history.
And at present, there are indeed few generals on the border who can suppress one side and reassure him.
Because of this matter, Duan Cheng was dismissed, and it was difficult to find a suitable candidate to take over for a while.
So Liu Zhi didn't want a tragedy like Li Ling to be repeated in his own hands.
In order to appease, Liu Zhi also specially replied to him with a handwritten letter, and said that he had offset his merits and demerits this time, and he would not be punished or rewarded.
Zhenxi General Huangfu Gui was the commander-in-chief, and was made a first-class county marquis by Lord Liu Zhijia, which can be hereditary for three generations.
Nowadays, the division of titles in the Han Dynasty is becoming more and more strict, and it is already boundless to be rewarded like this.
Moreover, according to the current situation, it is difficult to launch another war to expand the territory during Liu Zhi's reign.
Therefore, in the future, there will be very few people who will be crowned marquis with martial arts.
Quan Xu's courage in this battle was indispensable, and he was also crowned as the Marquis of Guannei, realizing a class leap.
Although the courtiers were also suspicious of His Majesty's failure to reward Duan Cheng in private, everyone knew that Duan Cheng had already married His Majesty, so they felt that this move was probably to avoid suspicion.
After the battle, Liu Zhi asked Duan Cheng to stay in the Far East and let him be responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the Xiongnu, of course, there was also the meaning of letting him atone for his crimes.
Although Liu Zhi does not intend to hold him accountable, as an emperor, even if he favors him, he must be rewarded and punished clearly.
Otherwise, it will affect Duan Cheng's prestige in the army, as for his reputation, he is not worried, whether it is Mingjun or Duanjun, he doesn't care at all now.
Just like the empress Wu Zetian said, the merits of a thousand years have been commented on by their descendants.
Now that the threat from outside the north has been lifted, the station of Huangfu Gui has been pulled from the Northern Xiongnu to the front line of Dawan and Kangju.
And Quan Xu was responsible for escorting the Northern Xiongnu Khan back to Beijing to ask for the guilt.
Speaking of which, this is a beautiful difference, if you go back to fifteen or sixteen years ago, it is definitely a grand event where thousands of people are empty and people beat gongs and drums to welcome each other.
But the current Han people really don't regard this as a big event, of course, there are still welcome ceremonies, but people's mood is not so warm.
The current Xiongnu Khan is the eldest son of King Huyan, Utu, and Quan Xu has not abused him along the way, the main reason is that he disdains to do so.
When he arrived near the capital division, he brought him shackles and shackles, marched into the city, and saw with his own eyes the grandeur of Luoyang, full of flowers.
Uss finally understood how small and ridiculous he really was.
Compared with Liu Zhi's magnificent palace, not to mention his palace in the Far East, even if it was in the capital of the Northern Xiongnu, it was like a house of a rich man in the countryside.
Going against such a powerful country is completely like an ant shaking a tree, and there is no chance of winning.
The contempt of those soldiers for him along the way was all emanating from his bones, and he thought it was the reason for the defeat.
Now look at the ordinary citizens of Luoyang City, the eyes look at them exactly the same, both proud and open.
If a country can be so confident even by its people, then why should it not be strong?
Liu Zhi did not personally come forward at the prisoner sacrifice ceremony held in front of the Chongde Palace, and the titular Northern Xiongnu Khan did not have this qualification.
Just let the secretary Yuan Xu, a scholar of the provincial university, hold a handover with Quan Xu, and then issue His Majesty's edict.
Wusi was named the Marquis of Defeat, enjoyed the same treatment as the previous King Kangju, and was sent to the suburbs of Zhuangzi to be supervised.
