Chapter 572 Guanzhong's Population
If Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, he would definitely send an envoy to Chang'an, for two purposes, first, to swear independence, and second, to continue to maintain peaceful relations with the Han Dynasty.
It's just that Sun Quan must have miscalculated, although Liu Chan did not intervene in the battle of Shiting and sat back and watched Sun Quan win, this does not mean that Liu Chan agrees with Sun Quan as emperor.
After a period of time, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the back also arrived in Chang'an.
There were more than 100,000 people in the city at once, and Chang'an City was also in a state of bustle, which was very different from the cold and depression of the past.
However, Guanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, and there is not one in ten people, and although Chang'an City is the center of Guanzhong, there are less than 50,000 people, and these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are only enough to make Chang'an Inner City reach saturation.
Chang'an New City can accommodate millions of people, and there is still a long way to go to fill Chang'an City.
After the officials settled the people, they also began to take office, and the officials of the various prefectures also began to perform their duties and deal with state affairs.
In 228 AD, on the fifth day of the sixth month, Liu Chan held the first early dynasty after the relocation of the capital in Weiyang Palace.
"Ministers greet Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Peace......" A group of officials knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Chan.
"Zhong Aiqing is exempt from courtesy."
The officials sat down with their backs straight, only to find that the front of the civil officials was not Zhuge Liang.
Now Guan Yu is also older, nearly seventy years old, and his hair and beard are all snow-white, so after taking Chang'an, Liu Chan did not let Guan Yu return to Jingzhou.
Liu Chan didn't mention that Guan Yu was accompanied by Zhang Fei in Chang'an, and he didn't mention that he wanted to return to Jingzhou.
Because Guan Yu didn't go back, when the court meeting, Guan Yu was the head of the military generals, and Zhuge Liang was the head of the civil officials, but today, there was still one person in front of Zhuge Liang.
And that person is Xun Yu.
Although Xun Yu is a prince, he has never participated in the early dynasty on weekdays, and now that he is participating in the early dynasty, is he going to serve the imperial court?
However, these officials thought too much, the reason why Xun Yu came to participate in the early dynasty was only because this was the first early dynasty after the Han Dynasty moved the capital to Chang'an, and the meaning was different.
Liu Chan looked at His Royal Highness's civil and military forces, and said: "At the beginning of the first emperor's business, the soldiers were less than a thousand, and they would be only a palm.
Now the civil and military ministers are all in Chang'an, the first emperor's spiritual position, can be returned to the ancestral temple, but its mausoleum, still in Chengdu, the first emperor's lifelong volunteer, is to return to the old capital, so I intend to move the first emperor's mausoleum to Chang'an for burial.
Tai Changqing, you lead people to choose a feng shui treasure around Chang'an, build a mausoleum for the first emperor, and after the mausoleum is completed, I will go to Chengdu in person to help the coffin of the first emperor return to Chang'an for burial. In addition, more than ten emperors of my Han Dynasty are buried around Chang'an, and I will go to worship them one by one, and you will be responsible for this time. ”
Liu Bei's mausoleum is in Chengdu, and now Liu Chan has moved the capital to Chang'an, Liu Bei's mausoleum must be transferred over in a reasonable way, after all, Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan will be buried with Liu Bei after a hundred years, and the time of their death will definitely be different.
And on their sacrifice day, Liu Chan must go to worship, and Yizhou and Chang'an are far apart, and it takes two months to go back and forth, so it is impossible for Liu Chan to go to Chengdu three times a year to worship them, so half of the time in the year has to be spent on this.
Moving to Chang'an is much more convenient.
In ancient times, in addition to dealing with government affairs, a large part of the rest of the time was spent on sacrifices, and basically there were sacrifices every month. This is also the reason why Taichang is the number one among the nine Qings.
First, sacrifice is a major event, and second, there are all kinds of sacrifices, such as sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the earth, sacrifice to the gods, and worship to ancestors.
"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Song gave up his hand.
Liu Chan nodded, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Da Sima, when I left Chang'an last year, I asked you to count your household registration, and you told me about the specific situation!" ”
"No!" Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics of Weichen, there are now more than 68,000 households and more than 294,000 people in Guanzhong. ”
Xun Yu sighed and said: "I think there were five million people in Guanzhong back then, but now, there are less than 300,000 left." ”
Zhuge Liang glanced at Xun Yu and continued: "The people in Guanzhong are indeed too few, and this time the capital was moved to Chang'an, His Majesty brought about 130,000 people from Yizhou. In addition, there were 150,000 garrisons in Guanzhong, as well as 50,000 Wei soldiers.
Therefore, today, there are 620,000 people in Guanzhong. ”
Liu Chan groaned: "So, is there a shortage of food? ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, most of the more than 130,000 people who Your Majesty migrated from Yizhou are official families, and a large part of the population is not productive.
Although the soldiers and horses are tuntian, the current time is too short, Xinping, and the area of Wuguan are mostly mountainous deserts, and the effect is not good.
Therefore, the current situation in Guanzhong is 400,000 people supporting 200,000 people. And the people of Guanzhong have been in the war for a long time, although they began to plant corn and sweet potatoes last year, but now they are only self-sufficient, and I have a population of more than 200,000 in Guanzhong, mostly relying on Yizhou and Longyou support. ”
Under normal circumstances, in a country, ten people raise a soldier, the burden is very heavy, for example, this is the case during the Three Kingdoms period, Wei has five or six million people, 500,000 soldiers and horses, Jiangdong more than 2 million people, 230,000 soldiers, Shu Han more than 1 million people, raise 100,000 soldiers.
Ten people to support a soldier, the burden of the state is very serious, and now the situation in Guanzhong is even more severe, because the people in Guanzhong are only less than 300,000, Liu Chan moved 130,000 people from Yizhou, plus 150,000 garrisons, and the Wei army engaged in conscription, according to the light calculation, it is two people to support one person, according to the heavy calculation, one person to support one person.
So many people in Guanzhong are not engaged in production, so these people rely on Longyou and Yizhou to transport grain to maintain, but in the long run, it is very unfavorable for Guanzhong.
The biggest impact is the shortage of military food and grass.
If no one produces, there is no grain and grass, and without food and grass there can be no war.
Liu Chan pondered for a while and ordered: "During this period, a large amount of fields were cultivated by the conscripts, and the officials purchased fertile land as soon as possible and sent people to cultivate them to reduce the burden. ”
"No!" A group of officials surrendered their orders.
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Even if the officials are allowed to produce with their household registration, they are still far from being able to drink closely." The top priority at the moment is to enrich the population of Guanzhong.
During this time, Weichen has ordered all localities to establish villages, and His Majesty should summon the people of Guanzhong in Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Longyou to return to Guanzhong, so that there are more people engaged in production in Guanzhong, and the situation can be alleviated.
Of course, during the period between their migration and planting and harvesting, the burden of Guanzhong will be very heavy. ”
