1238 Guanzhong New Law
The ceremony has not yet been completed, but with the arrival of Jiang Yu and others in Chang'an, the promulgation of various decrees is in full swing.
Although Guanzhong was formerly Tianfu, the system has long since disappeared from the turmoil of the past few decades. The most basic point is that there is not even a single book of the boundaries of the counties and counties at all levels, and these are the most basic materials for the implementation of rule.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang's troops entered Xianyang, but Xiao He kept this in mind and preserved these precious materials, which laid a solid foundation for the future Chu and Han hegemony.
Although Huan Xuanxing had also tried to collect in this area when he entered Chang'an, the results were really small, and even some old books of China and the DPRK were lost and destroyed, and in the early years, whether it was Han Zhao or Qian Zhao, the construction in this area was almost nothing.
Therefore, if you want to establish effective rule in Guanzhong, it can be said that you have to build it from scratch in a blank field. The reason why Xingtai sent Li Chong to serve as the head of Jingzhao is that Li Chong is not only a criminal talent, but also has extraordinary attainments in the construction of various rules and regulations in addition to the side of a cool official.
Although the main tone of the world is still chaotic, and there are many people in the world who are called lonely and widowed, if it is said that the rule is in the wasteland and large-scale system construction is carried out, no matter how any regime is far inferior to Luoyang Xingtai.
And these talents are not obtained out of thin air, whether in Huainan in the early years, or later in the Central Plains, until the establishment of the Xingtai Hegemony in Heluo, Li Chong and other people can also be said to have been honed from a small time, until now they have accumulated experience in governing the world.
Jiang Yu arrived here, mainly to appease people's hearts. Therefore, after arriving in Chang'an, the first thing is to invite many villagers in Sanfu, among which the top group is still in Luoyang Xingtai has not returned, but the rest of these are also the backbone of the Kansai region.
When these people gathered in Chang'an, Jiang Yu first conveyed the intention of compiling the "Guanzhong Gate Examination", first highlighting the glory of the Chinese crown and belt.
This initiative has also won the support of many Guanzhong times, among whom may not all be family members with a long heritage and a strong old reputation, but everyone has a sense of distinction. More than half of Hu Rong has lived in Guanzhong for a long time, and these Jin people also want to distinguish themselves from Hu Yi through this incident.
Moreover, this is a classic edited under the auspices of the government, and its political significance cannot be ignored. Even if there are not too many privileges in this sect test, as long as each portal can be listed, at least it can ensure the personal safety of their clansmen and will not be listed as a target for liquidation. It would be ridiculous if the decree of Taiwan was changed overnight, and there was no authority for this kind of administration and law enforcement.
Therefore, for these Guanzhong households who have endured trouble for a long time, the compilation of the Mendi Examination does not immediately remind them of joining the ruling group of Xingtai and becoming a privileged class, but a talisman to ensure personal safety.
As for Jiang Yu presiding over this matter, many people quickly accepted it after learning about his family background. Although Jiang Yu has no reputation in Guanzhong, far less than the generals of Wang Shi's great achievements, his father Jiang Tong enjoys a lot of fame in Guanzhong.
The reason why this is the case is naturally Jiang Tong's "Treatise on Migration". The book of "Treatise on Migration" was still written in the reign of Emperor Hui Yuankang of the Chinese Dynasty, after the Emperor Qi of Qi was in turmoil in Guanzhong, the situation in Guanzhong had not completely collapsed at that time, but the hidden dangers contained in it had also been fully revealed.
In the process of being abused by the military disaster for a long time, there are many people who deeply feel that the national policy of Anbang cannot be implemented, so that Tianfu and Huangquan are confused together, so there are many memories and nostalgia for Jiang Tong and his people.
Jiang Yu was blessed by his old reputation as a virtuous father, and he had a strong backing for his own business, so he quickly created a lot of prestige among the current group in Guanzhong.
But whoever gains, he will give up. For these Guanzhong people, Jiang Yu is amiable and convincing. Then the other Li Chong is really hateful and mean.
Because the subsequent sealing order was promulgated and implemented by Li Chong, and as soon as it was announced, it showed a fierce attitude of law enforcement. He dispatched nearly 10,000 troops to Chang'an, and personally led the army to expel the wandering food and villagers near the mountains and fields around Chang'an, and within ten days, thousands of people were imprisoned for violating the ban.
And the entire Jingzhao situation has become noisy because of this, and it is almost the road. You must know that Guanzhong has been in turmoil for many years, and the number of cultivated mulberry is insufficient, and if the people want to get enough livelihood materials, it is very important to make a living by mining, fishing and hunting. In particular, in order to achieve the purpose of perseverance, the dock wall of some rural households often has to choose the location of the mountain and the river.
The promulgation of the sealing decree can be said to have directly cut off a large part of the resources that the people of Guanzhong rely on for survival. Therefore, it is conceivable how these Guanzhong people reacted.
In order to cooperate with the implementation of the sealing order, Wang Shi stationed in Guanzhong also raised the alert level to the highest, Guo Yu personally served as Li Chong's deputy, and a large number of ranger scouts were dispersed in the suburbs.
This is also due to the strength of Wang Shi's westward expedition, many Jingzhao Township Haowu walls have been destroyed, and many of the tribes are scattered, even if they are connected in the countryside, how can they compare to Wang Shi's swift mobilization and response speed.
Seeing that the implementation of this decree could not be stopped by means of popular uprising, many villagers came to Chang'an to petition, bitterly stating that Guanzhong had a special rural situation, and that once the mountains and rivers were sealed, the people would be impoverished to death.
And these petitions are not a private conspiracy, because they do tell part of the truth about Guanzhong. The nostalgia in Guanzhong has been like this for a long time, and such a large-scale change is forced for a while, and riots are inevitable.
However, even for these petitioners, Li Chong was also not polite, and if the scale exceeded 100 people, he was directly arrested and imprisoned regardless of the content of the petition.
These villagers have their own popularity, and once they cannot gather and gather into a momentum, relying solely on the spontaneous organization of the villagers, even if there are some riots, it is not enough to become a big turmoil.
Moreover, in addition to fierce law enforcement, Li Chong is also promoting the implementation of the household system. The Guanzhong system is in ruins, and the boundaries of counties and counties are blurred, so in the usual way of thinking, if we want to restore order as soon as possible, we must rely on the cooperation of local villagers.
This is also one of the reasons why Hu Lu has abused Guanzhong for a long time, and there are still a large number of Haoyou in Guanzhong. To a certain extent, their existence is an adjunct and supplement to the means of Hu Lu's rule. By imposing restraint and exploitation on them, it is far more efficient than plundering individual people.
However, Xingtai has been discussing the situation in Guanzhong for a long time, and has already worked out a complete set of plans. Since the basic administrative and human ethics units such as the township clan cannot be integrated in the short term, it is different from this to create a new system, and the core of this system is called "township community".
The villagers are organized into households and assembled into a community, with one hundred clubs and three communities as one township. Yiding is an independent tax-paying and military unit, that is, a family. In other words, a community is 100 households, and a township is 300 households.
With the township community system, there is also a hoarding system, five feet for a stack, fifty zhang for a warehouse, one hundred and fifty zhang for a warehouse. One stack corresponds to one ding, and the output of the people's labor is stored in the stack, and half of the stack is returned to the warehouse, and half of the warehouse is returned to the warehouse.
This is not only the production organization of the villagers, but also the tax payment system, rough and direct, especially since the warehouse is a concrete capacity unit that can be seen, and the concept can be established the most quickly.
The promulgation of these systems is first and foremost based on absolute control over the person. Prior to this, the Western Expeditionary Army had already laid the foundation, that is, as many as hundreds of thousands of refugees around Chang'an.
Because the decree was simple and easy to operate, the hundreds of officials brought by Li Chong to Guanzhong alone made it easier for more than 700 villagers to be organized around Chang'an in a very short period of time, which meant that more than 70,000 households were registered. Even the most basic household of three means that as many as 200,000 people are included in the system.
At the same time, warehouses in Duling, Bashang and other places around Chang'an have risen from the ground. With the construction of visible storage units, the core goal of the people is to fill these silos, rather than to pursue the so-called expediency that is ethereal and invisible.
After the establishment of basic administrative units such as the township community, various supporting government decrees, such as production and forced labor, will have a foothold. The township community is numbered by the cadres and branches, and the yin and yang are roughly divided, ** serve every other day, and stop at the new day, and the yang household serves at the same time, and stops at the sun.
A cycle of hope is 30 days, in other words, a cycle of 60 days, and every 45 days, the villagers have to bear 15 days of forced labor.
This kind of tax and conscription intensity is not easy, after all, Guanzhong has been broken for a long time, and if you want to regain your vitality, it is really far away to rely solely on light taxation and no dispute with the people. What's more, the current situation around Guanzhong is not easy, and it is still necessary to fight frequently to wipe out the enemies in all directions.
But one of the biggest advantages is that it is simple, easy to operate, and does not allow for excessive expropriation. No matter how bad a system is, it is better than no system at all, and as long as this system can quickly establish its authority and guide the production and life of the people, it can make the world quickly settle down.
People are determined that even if the wisdom of the people is universalized in later generations, the stability index that a house can bring to people is still incomparable, and some people are even willing to bear debts that cannot be repaid in their lifetime.
What's more, in order to gain a foothold in this system, it is first necessary to provide basic personal security, property security, and the distribution of basic means of production. And one of the biggest benefits is that the people who join the society do not have to do military service.
Although the people in Guanzhong are brave, not all of them have the experience of the Rong Brigade, and letting ordinary people be responsible for the task of fighting, with the current and future needs to face the conquest and combat mission, this can be said to be a kind of slaughter in disguise. Therefore, in terms of military service, Xingtai needs more professional soldiers who are proficient in fighting, rather than depleting the already very scarce productive population.
It is not easy to maintain a professional army, so a larger productivity base is required. After the basic production system and scale were established, the echelon of the army was supplemented by recruiting Ding Yong.
Social citizens are registered in the field, and half of the tax is paid. If you can recruit brave soldiers into the military household, you can turn your home field into a business field, pay 30% of the tax, and at the same time cooperate with various military merit tax exemption decrees. Through this ladder difference, the martial spirit of the whole society can be stimulated, and it will no longer be the object of humiliation.
The rapid creation of various systems and decrees in Guanzhong also allowed Huan Xuan to spare more energy and start to create a military government.
Among them, Yicheng was selected as a large base for attacking Longshang, first with Yu Manzhi stationed in 5,000 men and horses and with 10,000 soldiers to operate and create, while Shen Yun was to fight hard with the elite of the Yangwu army, and sent troops west to Longdao in September to defeat a number of Zahu tribes and many army leaders in Longshang.
