"Two people raising one? How can this be done? ”

"Yes, and there are many locust plagues in Guanzhong, if there is a locust plague, then we will not run out of food."

"Relying on Yizhou Longyou supply is not a matter after all."

"This relocation of the capital is still too urgent, the people should be moved first to enrich the population, and when the population is full, the taxes collected are enough to feed the soldiers and horses. Now that they have moved over, 300,000 people are raising 300,000 people, how can this be done! ”

"Now that the situation in Guanzhong is so severe, how can the people still be moved over, and when the time comes, there will be no food, how to deal with the aftermath?"

When the officials heard Zhuge Liang's words, they were all panicked.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry too much, the current situation is not so grim."

When Cao Zhen was stationed in Chang'an, there was a lot of grain and grass in the city, and now it is enough for 100,000 soldiers and horses to last for more than a year. These grains and grasses, together with the income obtained by the soldiers from the tuntian, and the military grain and grass of the 150,000 garrisons in Guanzhong, do not have to worry about it for the time being.

Most of the officials who moved also brought grain for a period of time, and at this moment in June, it is not too late to plant corn, as long as you buy land and plant it as soon as possible, you can harvest it by the end of October, and you don't have to worry about this.

Therefore, it is mainly the 50,000 conscripts, who are mostly responsible for cultivating fields, building water conservancy, repairing palaces, and providing food and clothing for the imperial court.

Moreover, I also brought 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yizhou this time, and now the garrison in Guanzhong is actually 180,000 people, these 30,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the palace guards, chamberlains, and palace maids, all consume the grain of the government, which depends on Yizhou and Longyou, and can still support a year and a half.

But in the long run, it will definitely not work, so it is still necessary to move the people of Guanzhong who fled to various places back to Chang'an to engage in production, so as to support such a large consumption, and in the future, they will have to accumulate grain and grass for military use.

But now it's June, and Yizhou has multiple rice, corn, and sweet potatoes, all of which are harvested in October, so now they have almost eaten, and the people have no surplus food, so they have migrated here, and the burden is too great.

And Longyou, Liangzhou is located in the north, the people have a variety of wheat, just harvested in May, and the family has surplus grain. The people of Guanzhong in Liangzhou and Longyou can be relocated to Guanzhong to enrich the population.

By October, the people of Hanzhong in Yizhou had harvested corn and sweet potatoes, and after they had enough surplus grain, it was not too late to move them over. ”

After listening to Liu Chan's analysis, the officials were relieved.

Liu Chan ordered to Zhuge Liang: "Da Sima, let Longyou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou all over the country count the people in Guanzhong who have fled over the years, and count their hometowns." Officials from all over Guanzhong were ordered to build villages, and without affecting the use of the imperial court, they slowly moved the people from all over the country to engage in production. ”

Zhuge Liang gave his hand to receive the order: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Liu Chan looked at the person at the back of the hall again: "Wu Pu!" ”

"Wechen is here!"

This Wu Pu is the eldest disciple of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo Zhang Zhongjing has received a lot of apprentices over the years, among which Wu Pu's medical skills are the most sophisticated, now Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing has passed away, and Wu Pu, who inherited Hua Tuo's mantle, served as the imperial doctor in the court.

On the one hand, it was to heal the diseases of the court, and on the other hand, to manage the medical affairs of the state.

Liu Chan ordered Wu Pu: "Gather doctors from Yizhou and Jingzhou to come to Guanzhong to open a medical center." At present, more doctors who are proficient in gynecology can be called. ”

"No!" Although Wu Pu didn't understand what Liu Chan meant, he still gave up his fate.

Liu Chan's purpose in doing this was naturally to enrich the population of Guanzhong.

If we want to enrich the population, first, the people's living standards need to be improved. If the people don't have enough to eat, they won't be able to feed even if they have children.

But now corn and sweet potatoes have been widely planted in Guanzhong, and the results are better than in Yizhou.

Because Yizhou is the south, the south is planted with rice, and rice is generally sown in spring, so the planting time of corn and sweet potatoes is conflicting, and the people can only plant a part of rice and plant a part of corn and sweet potatoes.

Although the yield of corn and sweet potatoes is large, there is not much room for grain production to increase.

Guanzhong is not, Guanzhong is the north, the north mainly grows wheat, wheat is sown in autumn and winter, harvested in late spring, this is staggered with the corn and sweet potato sowing season, so that the people in the north can plant corn and sweet potatoes after harvesting wheat, so that the grain output can be increased more space.

This is also the reason why Longyou Liangzhou will be able to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in just three years, and it will also continue to support Guanzhong.

The people of Guanzhong will never be short of food from now on, so they don't have to worry about having no food to feed their children.

But in addition to this, there is also a very serious problem, that is, the survival rate of children, due to the low level of ancient medicine, when giving birth, the chance of dystocia is very high.

For example, in modern times, many people are born by caesarean section, and the reason why they are born by caesarean section is because if you give birth naturally, there will be risks, and if you don't do it well, you may have two lives in one body.

And even if the child is born safely, it may not be able to grow up safely, because if a child gets a cold or flu, he may be taken away from his life, because the level of medicine in ancient times was too backward.

Therefore, Liu Chan ordered Wu Pu to summon a group of doctors who are proficient in gynecology to Guanzhong to establish a medical center, so that the survival rate of the baby can be greatly improved.

You must know that in ancient times, children were born at home, and many people could not afford to hire a doctor, in this case, of course, the survival rate of children could not be raised.

"The purpose of opening a medical center in Guanzhong is to improve the survival rate of infants, if the population of the people in Guanzhong is too small, so I plan to promulgate magic to encourage agriculture and encourage the people to have children."

Liu Chan pondered for a while, and then said: "Pass the order, in the future, in Guanzhong, when each village reaches the harvest season, the yield per mu will be calculated, and the one with the highest yield can reduce the tax by fifty percent." If the family has wasteland, the tax is increased by five times.

If there is a person in the family who is in distress, he can be punished as appropriate. ”

Xun Yu exclaimed when he heard this: "Good plan! ”

The order issued by Liu Chan was used to encourage the people to cultivate, because the output is calculated by the yield per mu, so it has nothing to do with the number of fields, even if you only have one acre, as long as the average yield of your mu is the highest in the village, you can be exempted from half of the tax.

What a wonderful thing it is to be exempt from taxes, and the people will definitely work harder to tending to the fields in order to be exempt from taxes, so that the grain production will go up.

In the same way, if there is wasteland at home that is not cultivated, it will be subject to several times the tax, which can effectively improve productivity.

Of course, Liu Chan also thought of the people, some people's families, more or less accidents, such as someone is sick, so it is inevitable that the fields will be abandoned and cannot be cultivated, and these families can be punished as appropriate.

Liu Chan paused and continued: "In the same way, in order to increase the population, I will also promulgate a reward and punishment system, if a family has five or more children, the imperial court can subsidize one ration and exempt a part of the tax.

My eldest man is generally a woman who marries at the age of fifteen, and if the woman in the family does not marry within the time limit, she will be taxed. ”
