With the account books of statistics, Li Chao went to Yuliangzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On Yuliang Island, after this period of rush construction, the palace city has been preliminarily completed, and the palace walls and moats outside have been built, introducing the living water of the Han River to surround.

The various yamen who moved from Chang'an also entered the built yacheng one after another, and the three provinces, six departments, five prisons, nine temples, the south yamen, the twelve guards, the Hanlin Academy, and the imperial history platform began to work here. Miyagi and Yacheng are relatively independent sieges. Outside the two cities, there are military cities surrounding, the south is the South Ya Forbidden Army Yamen, and the north is the North Ya Forbidden Army Fort. On the periphery, there are private cities and shopping malls.

Although it looks quite simple, it is already very lively with people coming and going.

The families of the officials, the students of the Guozijian and the lecture hall, and the merchants who came and went. Make this sandbar the size of half Chang'an City very lively.

Especially because the entire sandbar is the architectural pattern of the besieged city group, and the size of the besieged cities is connected and interlocking, so that these cities are both whole and relatively independent. The areas outside the walls between the cities are a little more relaxed and free.

There are even many shops that are convenient for the people, such as restaurants, tea shops, grocery stores, etc.

Li Chao walked on the street between the lively besieged cities, feeling quite proud.

This is really an island city that has risen from the ground, and it only took a month to have such a scale. The success of these sieges also confirmed to the emperor and the officials the new building model, proving new building materials such as cement.

If it weren't for the great drought and locust plague, it would have been quite easy now.

There are many shops on Yuliang Island, but now there is not a single restaurant in sight, because the imperial court has banned alcohol. I can't see any restaurants, because ordinary people can't afford to eat restaurants, and the restaurants don't charge money and food stamps, and who is willing to accept them.

There are a lot of food stamps for hundreds of officials, but for the sake of fame, it is not good to go to and from restaurants often.

Even the pedestrians and vendors on the road have some dishes on their faces. After all, relief food is not a panacea, it can satisfy hunger, but it is far from good nutrition.

The only thing that makes Li Chao more proud is that there are no homeless beggars on the street who drag their families and beg.

Everyone is tightening their belts to survive the famine, and although the life of the rich is not having a good time now, it has also saved more people, especially those who are poor, from starving to death due to famine.

Thinking of the more than 100 big families who had just been exterminated, Li Chao felt a little more comfortable in his heart. He told himself that it was all worth it.

These are difficult and extraordinary times, and these are only temporary.

The wealthy and powerful families are not so sad in their lives, but there is no disaster to make money, and they do not worry about food or drink, but some people are not satisfied.

Passing by one sentry post, Li Chao entered the palace city.

The palace city on Yuliang Island, Li Shimin finally no longer has to live in the East Palace, the emperor lives in Changle Palace, Li Shimin lives in Ziwei Palace, and there is a small palace on the side, which is the prince's East Palace.

Vestibule.

In the Emperor's Imperial Study.

Li Shimin and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Yang Rengong, Yu Scribes and five were deliberating, and the inner servants reported that Li Chao would see him outside.

"It seems that the dust has settled, please come in Li Xiang."

Li Shimin sighed.

Li Chaoda walked into the hall.

"Minister Li Chao to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

"Pingshen, Wen Yuan, are they all disposed of?"

Li Chao handed over the account book, presented the results of the confiscation, and the chamberlain took it and forwarded it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the account book, he didn't open it immediately, he held the book, his mood was a little heavy, "Just now I and the prime ministers were also discussing this matter. ”

sighed a few words, and Li Shimin still revealed it.

When he opened the fold, Li Shimin was still looking forward to it, but after really opening it and reading it, Li Shimin was disappointed.

There is a lot of gold and silver money, and there are also a lot of fields, manors and shops, but what Li Shimin needs most now is not these, gold and silver, and now he can't buy grain, what he needs more is food.

But the food in the Haoqiang's family in these places only adds up to more than 100,000 stones, which is disappointing.

"Is there no surplus grain in the landlord's house?"

"The landlord's family still has some grain, but it's not much." Li Chao replied truthfully.

And the most troublesome thing is not only that the landlord's family does not have much food, but also that a new situation has emerged, and a large number of hidden households have appeared.

"The minister estimates that after the extermination of these riotous and powerful people this time, it can indeed greatly deter them, but there may be a large number of hidden families returning to their homes immediately, and even a large number of arrogant and exempting slaves."

Li Shimin nodded.

A large number of hidden households have returned to their hometowns, which is naturally related to the heroes. Under the current policy of the imperial court, in order to protect themselves, they will abandon these black tenants who pay rent to their tenants, and even the slaves they bought back may have to be released.

Even if they sell slaves now, no one will necessarily want to pay for them. After all, unlike before, in the past, the famine heroes liked to take the opportunity to buy slaves, but now it is different. Because now there is money and there is no way to buy food, and food cannot be hoarded, and everyone has no food in their hands, can they buy slaves and come back to share rations with themselves?

Slaves could not receive relief food, and they could not even buy food stamps, so it can be said that slaves are the most worthless things in the disaster area now. Since it's not easy to sell, and it costs food to keep in your hands, then just let it go.

In the long run, this is a good thing, but for now, it is a troublesome thing.

"If we can survive this wave, then the registered population of the imperial court may increase by 10 million." Li Chaodao.

The prime ministers also agreed with Li Chao's speculation on this figure, adding 10 million people. 10 million people, 10 million households, may also mean 15 to 2 million teachers.

If these people were to be abundant in the wide townships of various places and give them land in equal land, then the imperial court would be able to increase the income of Shihuang grain by four or five million a year, as well as a large amount of in-kind taxes such as silk cloth.

More soldiers, more classes, and more taxes!

For the imperial court, this is a great increase in strength, a great increase in national strength, and a great increase in the national foundation.

This is a great thing.

But the trouble is how to deal with the current wave.

The new tens of millions of people may have to rely on the imperial court to relieve food, and 10 million people will need tens of millions of stone grain a year, even if it is relief food, it will be difficult to get.

"Your Majesty, these newly naturalized people cannot remain in their place of origin. Most of them have no land and no food in stock, and staying there will be no benefit except for the consumption of food, and will only make the situation in the disaster area unstable. For these people, the minister still suggested that they be moved. ”

Fang Xuanling raised concerns, "But now winter is coming, such a large population, tens of millions of people in more than 100 states, where to move?" ”

No place can accommodate such a terrifying number of people.

On this migration road, if you don't do it well, it is easy to have an accident.

The more disaster years there are, the less we can bring the victims together, and this is all experience.

Du Ruhui also opposed the great migration at this time, and the imperial court was not capable of doing so.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with the words of the two servants, now it is true that they can't move to Longyou and Shuofang like before, the imperial court doesn't have that ability, and the two places can't accommodate so many victims."

"And what do you mean?" Li Shimin stared at Li Chao and asked.

Li Chao has also been thinking about this problem, and before he came, he thought about the government's assistance and reconstruction methods for the disaster areas when a major disaster occurred in the future.

One province is one county, and one city is one township.

"Those in Henan moved to Hedong, Shannandong, and Huainan, and those in Hebei moved to Hebei, Huainan, and Jiangnan to the east. Guanzhong moved westward to Shuofang, Longyou, and Shannan. Those in the south and east of the mountains will move to the west of the south of the Yangtze River and the west of the south of the mountain. Based on the principle of proximity, draw out the corresponding migration points. ”

"Be specific." Li Shimin became interested.

"For example, these newly naturalized people from the Luoyang area of Dugi Province moved to Shannandong. Among them, Changshui County in Luoyang is in Shangzhou in the south and east of Koushan, and Dengzhou in Yiyang County, Luoyang......."

The Changshui County Government is responsible for preparing the newly naturalized victims who need to be relocated in the county, preparing food on the road, preparing some carriages and horses for them, and organizing and escorting them to Shangzhou, while the Shangzhou government is responsible for sending people to pick them up.

These victims were then dispersed to various counties in their own prefectures, and the original victims in Changshui County were scattered to counties under Shangzhou for resettlement.

The following counties are responsible for preparing houses, food, etc., to accommodate these victims. If the number of disaster victims in a township is divided into a county, the number will be smaller, and it will be easier to control. After all, even if it is a disaster victim who moved from a township, it is not really that the entire township has moved, but only a part of the people from the township, and those are the original black households.

With the power of a county, to resettle the black households in this township, at least we can find some houses to resettle and give them some food.

"Locally, it can also be used to resettle them in the form of cash-for-work, so that they can help build water conservancy and repair city walls."

A large number of newly naturalized hermit slaves, after such separation, are less concentrated and less dangerous.

"But Shannan is also a disaster-stricken area, and Shannan itself also has a lot of naturalized black households, who are also going to move south, and now they are accepting the victims from Henan, why not directly resettle the victims from Henan to Shannanxi, Jiangnanxi and other places further south?" Yu Wenshi asked.

"It is too far to move the victims of the disaster in Henan to Shannanxi or Jiangnan West Road, and it will be more difficult for the victims to move so far, and there are too many uncontrollable factors. And we moved Luoyang to Shannandong, and Shannandong to Jiangnanxi, although it seems complicated, but the intermediate operation is simpler! Li Chao explained.

"I think that the method Li Chao said is feasible, and now I am thinking about how to transport grain to the disaster area, it is indeed better to withdraw people directly from the disaster area. It is unrealistic to resettle in the frontier, and it is dangerous for the victims to be too concentrated. ”

The emperor's words are even if they make a decision.

This plan is considered to have been passed, but the specific operation needs to be discussed in detail.

"Wenyuan, the method was proposed by you, and you have to give advice on the specific operation." Li Shimin said very politely. (To be continued.) )
