Liu Chan said to a group of civil and military officials: "I know that most of you Aiqing are natives of Yizhou, born in Yizhou, grew up in Yizhou, and have deep feelings for Yizhou, and they are difficult to leave their homeland and are unwilling to leave.

But I will not force you to go to Chang'an with me, and if you don't want to leave, you can still stay in Yizhou, and I will not force it.

Of course, those who stay may be demoted to official positions, and if too many people remain, some will even be dismissed. ”

These officials in the hall are basically high-ranking officials of the central government, and each of those who can enter this hall is not an idle person, either an important minister such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, or an adjutant of various departments, which is very different from the local officials.

As the saying goes, there are three officials in front of the prime minister's door, which means that the people who guard the prime minister's house are sometimes more powerful than local officials, and local officials have to look at the faces of these people when they visit the prime minister.

This is the difference between central and local officials.

If these officials are unwilling to go to Chang'an and choose to stay, then they are no longer Beijing officials, because the imperial court has moved away, and they cannot serve in the imperial court, and their positions will definitely change.

In this way, these officials will be demoted, after all, the change from central officials to local officials is itself a demotion, let alone a change of position.

If there are too many officials left, some will be dismissed, after all, there are officials in various places in Chengdu, and there are not many vacant positions.

A small number of people stay and have a place to be placed, and if there are too many people and no place to go, they will have to be dismissed.

Liu Chan does this, it is reasonable, if you don't want to go, you can not go, but the official position must change, it is impossible for you not to go, and let you hang an official position, which is not good for the imperial court.

Although Liu Chan's words were reasonable, when the officials heard this, their faces still showed embarrassment.

Although Liu Chan said that he did not force them to go to Chang'an, going to Chang'an and not going to Chang'an was a dilemma in itself.

Officials are torn between power and power.

Being an official is power, and the foundation and family property are power.

Going to Chang'an and abandoning the family business is the right to choose and giving up the momentum, not going to Chang'an and staying in Chengdu is giving up the right and choosing the potential.

"I am willing to move the capital to Chang'an with His Majesty!" The officials were quick to make their choice.

"I'd better forget it, people are old, and they won't go to Chang'an in a few years."

"Hey, I'm also old, and I've been a little powerless in the past two years, so I'll resign to Your Majesty and return to my hometown later." A few elderly officials could not leave their homeland and chose to stay.

Power is powerful, power is in front, power is in the back, power can be powerful, powerful, but not necessarily powerful. At this moment, give up the power of Yizhou, go to Chang'an, operate for a few years, and still have new forces, and stay in Chengdu, without power, it is possible that it will not be able to keep it.

Seeing that more than ninety percent of the courtiers agreed, Liu Chan smiled and said, "Since no one objected, this matter is decided!"

On the Guanzhong side, I have ordered Da Sima to rebuild the city wall with cement, and enclose the old Chang'an City, the scale of the new city is 20 miles long and wide, and it is expected to be completed in October.

At this moment, Da Sima is also sending people to repair the palace and prepare a residence, an official residence and an office for you.

Therefore, here in Yizhou, the top priority is to count the household registrations of the officials who have moved north, and then send them to Chang'an, so that Da Sima can prepare a residence for you. ”

When the courtiers heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and they went to Chang'an to give away the house for nothing?

"That's not bad, but my Chengdu mansion is quite big, I don't know how big the mansion will be prepared for me in Chang'an?"

"I just don't know if I will prepare a field for me when I go to Guanzhong."

"Yes, I have a lot of land in Chengdu, if I leave, no one will take care of it, and if I rely on Yulu alone, it will be difficult to go to Chang'an."

Liu Chan pressed his palm and motioned for the group of civil and military officers to calm down.

Liu Chan said to the group of civil and military officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that your industry is in Yizhou, and it is inconvenient to go to Chang'an, so I have also come up with a solution for you.

In this way, if you don't have a lot of industry, you can leave someone to take care of it, and if you have too much industry and can't manage it in Chang'an Yizhou, you can sell it to the imperial court. ”

Liu Chan continued: "You Aiqing are loyal to the country, I will not let you suffer, Guanzhong has been in war for a long time, the people do not have one out of ten, the fertile land has been abandoned, I have ordered people to reclaim the fields in Guanzhong, it has been hundreds of thousands of acres, and now it is still being reclaimed one after another, after you Aiqing went to Guanzhong, you can also spend money to buy land."

As for the mansion, I gave it to you for free, of course, the mansion given to Aiqing is planned according to the household registration of Aiqing's family, and the mansion is as big as there are people, and it is naturally not as luxurious as Chengdu. ”

After listening to Liu Chan's words, a group of civil and military officers thought about the pros and cons.

It doesn't matter if the house is small, I think it's small and rebuilt, the field is the key, in ancient times, the field is a family, the foundation of the family.

The land on the Yizhou side was sold to the imperial court, and when it came to Chang'an, the money from the sale of Yizhou's industry could be used to buy the land in Chang'an, which was not bad.

I just don't know how much I can buy. After all, the more fields, the better, and it would be bad if Liu Chan had any restrictions.

An official asked Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any restriction on me waiting for Guanzhong to buy land from Your Majesty?" ”

"Aiqing can buy as much land as he sells to the imperial court in Yizhou." Liu Chan replied: "Your land here in Yizhou will be purchased at the market price.

However, I sent conscripts to reclaim the fields in Guanzhong, which consumed the manpower and material resources of the imperial court, so if you go to Guanzhong to buy fields from the imperial court, I need to charge some more, so the price needs to be increased by 20% on the basis of the market price!

Oh, by the way, I'm saying that if you don't sell your land to the imperial court in Yizhou, you can't buy land in Chang'an! ”

After listening to Liu Chan's words, a group of officials had to sigh that Liu Chan was a profiteer.

Since ancient times, the problem of land annexation has existed since ancient times, and the imperial court could not find out how much land some people had, and now, Liu Chan is now taking the opportunity of moving the capital to nationalize the land in the hands of officials in Yizhou.

Although Liu Chan prepared fields in Guanzhong to sell to officials, he knew how much land they had in their hands, and made a lot of money from it, increasing it by 20% on the basis of the market price, and the profit was unimaginable.

Of course, these officials could also choose not to sell Yizhou's fields to the imperial court, but they would also lose their qualifications to buy fields in Guanzhong.

If there is no land in Guanzhong, it is rootless duckweed, and if they want to be powerful, they must sell and buy.
