Chapter 693: There is great strength in numbers, and the ancients did not deceive me
Zhou Yafu, who was enthusiastic, left the Qingliang Hall with Huo Quai.
originally thought that he would be in the mansion for the rest of his life, but no one cared about him on the day of the funeral.
But now, Zhou Yafu feels full of energy, as if he is a few years younger.
He wants to fight hard for the rest of his life and leave his name in the history books.
Whether it is writing an autobiography or preparing for a martial arts hall, it is inevitable that a name will be left in the history books, and it is now up to you to determine the quality of your reputation.
When Zhou Yafu left, Li Yunze looked at the master father Yan and asked, "How are the preparations for the establishment of the four counties of Liaodong?" ”
"Supplies are well prepared, but there is still a shortage of people to migrate."
Without waiting for Li Yunze to ask, the master father Yan explained, "It's not a few years ago, the life of the people is getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to leave their hometowns. ”
After Li Yunze's tax exemption, the burden of the people of the Han Dynasty was very light, especially their main production product, grain, which had a regular closing position and a protective price for grain purchase, ensuring that the harvest could fall into their own hands instead of being cut away by the merchants with scissors.
And there have been no major works in recent years, Li Yunze did not build large-scale buildings, nor did he start any large-scale construction to build any Grand Canal, Great Wall and other wonders, even if they were built, they were mainly based on the indigenous people and Kunlun slaves they had brought.
Coupled with the fact that there is no large-scale war, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people are mobilized to die, and life is of course getting better and better.
"No more idle labor?" Li Yunze was slightly surprised: "Not really, right?" ”
"Your Majesty, you have promised the people of the world to open up the wasteland, everyone is busy opening up the fields and farming, and those who do not want to farm have also gone to the mines, salt fields, market towns, and cities to work, where are there any idle laborers."
Li Yunze allowed the cultivation of land on the premise that for every additional child in the family, he could cultivate an additional 20 or 40 acres of land.
Many boys in the family can be allowed to reclaim 20 acres of land by registering and reporting at the yamen.
And many girls in the family, after going to the yamen to register, can reclaim 40 acres of land.
It's very straightforward, and that's what it means to protect girls.
After all, the patriarchal matter in this era is very serious, and the drowning of female babies has been repeatedly banned.
It is not enough to curb it by simply cutting off beheadings, so it leads the people to have more female babies from the perspective of interests.
When a girl reaches the age of three, she can go to the county office to go through the registration formalities, and after confirmation, she can get an official document allowing the cultivation of 40 acres of land.
In order to prevent someone from being like a snake and scorpion, when her daughter grew up to be three years old, she was still a killer after getting the official document, and she needed to go to the county office every year to recheck her identity until she was twenty-three years old.
When a woman reaches the age of twenty-three, she must marry, otherwise the singles' tax will be levied every year after that, and more and more every year.
Whoever can carry it for twenty years will not accept it when he is forty-three years old.
As long as you get married, forty acres of land can take twenty acres as a dowry.
And once both boys and girls die before the age of twenty-three, the fields that have been cultivated in their name will be confiscated, so as to prevent parents from attacking their children to the greatest extent.
Raising an extra son can get one more laborer and twenty acres of land.
If you raise an extra daughter, you can get an income of 40 acres of land for 20 years, and even leave 20 acres after your daughter gets married.
With such interests motivated, the arrival of baby boomers is a matter of course.
But anyone who has hands and feet can rely on their own efforts to support themselves, so it is too difficult for the imperial court to move the population now, or wait until this wave of baby booms reaches its peak, and the population at that time will be as large as there are.
You must know that before the tax exemption, the population of the Han Dynasty was close to 50 million, and after the tax exemption, a couple could almost raise seven or eight or even more than ten children on average.
Even if the level of medical care is not good, resulting in the failure of the child to grow up, on average, five or six children in a family are the least.
That is, after twenty years, the population of Dahan will at least quadruple!
"In this business, we have to hurry up the incident." When Li Yunze whispered to himself, the master over there reported another matter, "The Zhi Punishment Department has played something before. Hawking is rampant, and there are reports of related cases in various places"
"Huh?"
Li Yunze was slightly surprised, and asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”
"These people. After all, if there are many children in the family, there will be dozens of acres of land. The second is mainly young and strong, mainly sold to private mines in various places, as well as the place of Goolan Zhangtai. ”
"Heh~~~"
Li Yunze laughed, and the sound of laughter was a little harsh.
Feeling his piercing gaze, the master father died until someone was about to be unlucky.
Sure enough, he soon heard Li Yunze say, "Master Father, you tell Zhidu to start a nationwide all-out crackdown." No matter where it is, if it is caught, it will be disposed of directly, and buying and selling will be the same crime. There are also those private mines, the progress of embroidery and clothing is too slow, you go and ask Ju Meng if he can do it, if he can't do it, get out! ”
"If you find the boss behind the private mine, no matter who it is, you will directly dispose of it. Dare to use the Han people to fill in the mine, it's the opposite! ”
"喏~~~"
Accompanying the king all the year round, the master father knew very well that at this time, except for receiving orders, don't say any nonsense, because it is useless, and it will annoy Li Yunze.
"As for the matter of migratory populations."
After talking back, Li Yunze thought about this matter for a while, and then made up his mind, "Order every family in the world to release slaves according to a certain proportion!" ”
A large part of the proportion of the population of the Han Dynasty is composed of the servants of each family.
In history, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Mi family invested in Liu Bei, there were as many as tens of thousands of slaves who accompanied the marriage, and the Mi family was just a family of merchants.
Also in the history books, when the Shu Kingdom fell, there were only hundreds of thousands of registered people, but the actual population was at least several times that, and the extra population was the slaves of each family.
Li Yunze didn't do it before, but he didn't take care of it yet.
Now, he ordered a ban on slaves, and no more slave storage was allowed. On the other hand, slaves were freed, and slaves were forcibly ordered to leave each family and go to various places as a migrant.
Not much else, at least this time out of 200,000 people, there is absolutely no problem in migrating to the four counties of eastern Liaodong.
When they got there, the government immediately divided the land into land, and basically everyone started with 100 acres.
It's not that I'm unwilling to give more, but according to the standard of intensive cultivation in Middle Earth, even if there are large livestock such as cattle and horses to cultivate, and there is assistance from Quyuan ploughs and iron farm tools, it is already the limit for one person to take care of 100 acres of land, and this is still under the premise of being a middle-aged man.
Of course, there is not much arable land here in Weiman Korea, and the migration of 200,000 people has basically divided most of it.
When these people have children in the future, if they want to reclaim the fields, they will have to drain the swamps, burn the barren grass and forests, and seriously go to the raw land.
In order to encourage them, almost all the tools of production and life are provided by the government, from large animals such as cattle and horses to iron farm tools, from clothes and cloth to grain seeds, from building houses to distributing oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and so on.
There is no shortage of these things in the Han Dynasty now, and they are even very rich.
It needs to be raised by the master father and transported to the newly established land of the four counties of Liaodong.
As for the Huns killed or something, not to mention that the defense line of the Great Wall Army directly extended over, and the local geography alone was enough for the Huns to drink a pot.
In the northeast, most of the land is swampy, full of lakes and muddy fields of various sizes, and endless barren grasses and woods, which are the most unsuitable terrain environment for cavalry mobility.
Only when the Yan State broke through Donghu and expanded the land for thousands of miles, the slightly repaired Liaoxi Corridor could barely be regarded as able to pass in large groups.
If the Huns really dared to attack on a large scale, the soldiers of the Great Wall Army would be able to laugh to death.
As long as the retreat of the Huns is blocked, then as many as you come, you will have to die!
The reason why only 200,000 people migrated over was because Li Yunze believed that whether it was Jizi Korea or Weiman Korea, his people were also regarded as people from Middle Earth and descendants of Yin Shang.
Therefore, the treatment of the local people is naturally different from that of the natives, and the lack of population is not as serious as imagined.
However, it is a bit troublesome to set the land of Sanhan to be given to Liu Yu in the south, because the local natives over there naturally have to arrange for transportation away, and there is a shortage of people everywhere.
Even if only men are transported, there is a lack of a large number of young and strong people to fill the void.
And now there is a shortage of strong men everywhere in Dahan, which is true
"Then order every family to release slaves."
After thinking about it for a while, I finally fell on the slave release.
"Each family has set a standard for freeing slaves, and if the number is not enough, their children will be taken to the top. If you have a total number, let's set it at 200,000. Li Yunze took a breath, "If anyone dares to keep slaves again, those who have titles will be picked up first, and those who are rich will be punished first and then punished." ”
The master father bowed his head deeply, "Oh~~~"
What he thought in his heart was that when he went home, he would quickly let go of all the slaves in the house, and if he continued to raise them, he would have to raise trouble.
This son of heaven is a master who can't hold sand in his eyes.
Li Yunze actually knew that the Han Dynasty did not lack a population at this time.
But the problem is that the population wave after the tax exemption has not yet had time to grow, at least until they start at the age of 16.
At that time, it will not be a matter of population shortage, but a problem of too many people who need living space, and must fight a war, fight a big fight, fight early, and fight hard.
It happened that Wei Qing was completely mature at that time, and Huo Quai, a young hero, was at the age when he was full of spirit to penetrate the world.
What is it called? It's called destiny for me!
The difficulties are only temporary, while the future is bright.
When the Han Dynasty finished farming and internal cultivation and really began to break out, not to mention the Xiongnu, let alone the countries of the Western Regions, even Rome in a distant place, would have to kneel.
The huge population can not only provide enough troops, but also produce enough materials to support the army to run rampant all over the world.
As the saying goes, there is great power in numbers, and the ancients did not deceive me.
