In an instant, Lu Shizhi had understood what the queen meant, he patted his thigh and said happily,

"Compete with the kingdom by the method of inspection.

and then by the method of retrieving the rich people, and competing with the kingdom for wealth.

You are the way to pull out the source of Sai, in the long run, there will be no wealth and no wealth, and the princes and kings can only sit and wait to be killed! ”

Lu Pheasant also smiled and bowed his head, and said,

"However, you must not rush it, especially in the case of migrating Hao, otherwise it will backfire.

Haven't we seen enough of the lessons we've seen? ”

The relocation of the aristocracy and wealthy was a common practice of the Qin people, who often "sent their people" to the newly conquered regions in the process of annexing the Six Kingdoms and gradually advancing eastward.

The so-called "out" means that the people of Xindi who do not want to belong to them are uprooted, cut off their roots, cut off their sources, and then disperse and divide them all, and then migrate to areas that are easier to manage and control.

The Qin state often filled the population vacancies created after the "expulsion" of the newly occupied areas with its own residents, or recruited people and guilty people.

This was a form of immigration that was very much in line with the style of the Qin Tiger and Wolf, but the stormy advance was destined to cause extreme hatred between the residents of the newly occupied areas and the Qin people.

"Yes, Qin Zhice, I can't say it's wrong, but I pushed it too quickly, and I ended up suffering from it.

There is a precedent of Qin pulling out the party county in the distance, and there is a ...... in the near future The lesson of the first emperor in Xianyang. ”

Lu Shizhi nodded deeply, and very much agreed with Lu Pheasant's evaluation of "being in a hurry".

Even if it is a strategy that benefits the country and the people, it must be implemented in a way that prioritizes and cannot be achieved overnight.

Qin's mistake in Shangdang County is an old thing 60 years ago, and the bitter lesson of the first emperor who moved to Xianyang to be rich has only passed 20 years ago, and the bones are not cold, clearly visible, and it is still embarrassing.

***

In the forty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin made a close attack and sent troops to the east to attack Korea.

The Qin army was unstoppable, and soon conquered ten cities, captured Yewangyi, blocked the Taihang Road, and cut the military powerhouse of Korea into a lonely land isolated from the national capital.

Shangdang County, located between the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, is the gateway of the Taihang Mountains, and has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

South Korea knew that it was invincible, and wanted to sacrifice Qin to the seventeen cities of Shangdang County, trying to drink water to quench its thirst in exchange for a moment of peace.

However, Feng Ting, the county guard of Shangdang, and the people of the whole county were unwilling to surrender, and after discussing with the county, they decided to switch to the neighboring Zhao State.

This is a poisonous trick to lure trouble into Zhao.

Feng Ting knew very well that Qin's ambition to the party would be successful.

If Shangdang voted for Zhao, the Qin army would immediately turn to attack Zhao, and Zhao would no longer be able to stay out of the matter, and would have to unite with Korea to fight against Qin together.

Sure enough, as he expected, in the eyes of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the pioneer of a generation, he could only see the party, and as for its belonging, he didn't care-

If the party belongs to South Korea, he will fight South Korea; The party returned to Zhao, so he snatched it from Zhao Guo's hands.

So, he sent the head of the left house, Wang 龁 (hé), to capture Shangdang at any cost.

The residents of Shangdang, unwilling to submit to Qin's cruel migration policy, fled almost all of them into Zhao and gathered in an important town called Changping to continue the confrontation with the Qin army.

And the next battle of Changping became an indelible pain in the hearts of Zhao people.

The Qin army won a great victory, and the troops of Zhao State in Changping Town and the people who fled from Shangdang County, totaling more than 400,000 people, were all killed by the Qin general Bai Qi's order.

Shangdang's bloody slaughter shocked the six eastern kingdoms, and also planted countless seeds of hatred for Qin's conquest of the east.

However, this killing and surrender, although it is Bai Qi's revenge, also implies all kinds of helplessness:

The residents of Shangdang were not willing to be uprooted by the Qin rulers and moved to other places, and the resistance of everyone was deeply rooted in the blood and bones.

In the wartime, in addition to killing all these worries, in the eyes of King Qin Zhaoxiang and Bai Qi, there is really no better way to slowly subdue them.

Twenty years ago, Qin Shi Huang, another male lord from Guanzhong, also practiced the tradition of Qin's "out of his own people" after unifying the six countries.

The original intention of the first emperor was very reasonable, and all the rich, big families, and old nobles of the original six eastern countries, a total of 120,000 households, were moved to the capital Xianyang.

This move kills two birds with one stone and can achieve two purposes -

First, it is conducive to nearby supervision and control, these big clans are separated from the soil and resources of their homeland, just like trees without roots, and they can't set off any huge waves;

Second, it is also to use the wealth carried by the rich to enrich Xianyang.

It's a pity, as Lu Pheasant said, the weeds still have roots, and the head of Qiantou is also a human, so the first emperor is really in a hurry.

In the process of the Great Migration, the government was not strictly controlled, full of mistakes, coupled with the simplicity and rudeness, and was unpopular with the people, many old nobles took the opportunity to flee in chaos, such as Tian Jiao of the old Qi State, Gongzi of the old Wei State, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu of the old Chu State, and Zhang Liang of the old Korea.

"If it weren't for the First Emperor's eagerness to move the world's wealth, Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang probably wouldn't have died everywhere and become a spark that can set the prairie on fire!"

Lu Shizhi thought of this and sighed.

***

"yes." Lu Pheasant also sighed,

"Gentleman, Zhouya; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.

It is precisely because of Yin Jian that I envisioned the migration of the rich people, so that the rich and rich of all countries should migrate willingly. ”

"If they are willing, then the court may have to give up some profits."

The second brother's words are extremely true.

I thought that after this census, all the wealthy families with more than 3 million assets in the princes and countries mobilized them to move to the new capital of Chang'an within a few years.

And the concession that the court can do is to give them some compensation for their status and status, such as adding a knight to each household, or shading a son, to be a lang official in the court, and so on. ”

Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future..

If the rich families are allowed to move out of their homeland for no reason, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the people, but it must be done.

Since this is the case, it must be done peacefully, and it is logical to do it, and the imperial court is reluctant to give up some immediate benefits in exchange for long-term peace and stability.

These wealthy families sold the land in their hometown and moved to Chang'an, the future capital of the country, with a large amount of money, which will surely bring population development and economic prosperity to Guanzhong.

And their descendants, if they enter the imperial court as officials, they will be firmly tied to the interests of the Han court.

"It is not enough for the rich of the kingdom to come to the capital.

It also needs to be supplemented by a method of investigation and enlistment, which is used to compete with the kingdoms. ”

Inspection, as the name suggests, is inspected first and then promoted, and every year the officials of various counties and countries inspect and recommend talents, and the central court will evaluate and award positions.

These talents who have been inspected are eclectic, either for local elites, or for followers who are good at handling government affairs, or for those who hope to go to Beijing to win a position.

This is a small step for Lu Pheasant to practice the hills and valleys in his chest, but it is a big step for the central court to compete with the kingdoms with different surnames.

"All of this, your idea?"

Lu Shizhi was surprised, and looked at his sister with some astonishment.

"I haven't consulted with Your Majesty yet, but I don't think he has any reason to disagree."

She seems to be very patient,

"Let me do what I can, step by step, take my time."

"——Although the plan to hand over people is good, you have to take your time."

Zhang Cang's leisurely comment brought Lu Shizhi's thoughts back to Zhao Guo's banquet.

He nodded, yes, the hero sees the same thing, the matter is slow, and the lesson of Qin's violent death is still vivid.

He picked up another piece of feta cheese, which was cut into small pieces, and suddenly thought,

"I don't know if Liu Jing wants to eat this every day at this moment?"

He didn't know that Liu Jing was outside Yanmen County at this moment, experiencing the first grassland wind in his life.
