Chapter 577: Zhang Wen Envoy Han
However, mosquitoes are not a piece of meat in a small area, 10,000 households, there are also 30,000 or 40,000 people, these 30,000 or 40,000 people have moved back to Guanzhong, which also has a certain role in promoting the development of Guanzhong today.
However, in the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the soldiers in Guanzhong were in turmoil, the people of Guanzhong mainly fled to Yizhou and Jingzhou.
Because the entire north was basically caught in the war at that time, and Yizhou and Jingzhou were relatively stable, and there was no war, so the people fled to Jingzhou and Yizhou.
For example, Fa Zheng under Liu Chan was one of the people who fled to Yizhou to avoid trouble in Guanzhong.
After so many years, these Guanzhong people have taken root in Yizhou and Jingzhou, married and had children, and now they have developed and grown, and in Yizhou alone, there are two or three hundred thousand people whose ancestral home is Guanzhong.
The number of people in Jingzhou is also quite large, with about 200,000.
If we can relocate these more than 400,000 people back to Guanzhong, and add to the more than 600,000 people in Guanzhong at present, the total population of Guanzhong will increase to more than 1 million.
The population of one million was only as much as that of a more developed county in later generations, but in this era, it was already considered a large state.
After years of war, only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Yanzhou have a population of one million.
Because these four states, Jingzhou and Yizhou are the territories where Liu Bei started, Yangzhou is the foundation of Jiangdong, and Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base camp, these four states have experienced relatively few wars, so the population is maintained at around one million.
Originally, among the states of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Yuzhou were the largest and richest states in the Han Dynasty.
However, Jizhou, first Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought for a few years, and then Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought for a few years, to Cao Cao completely occupied Jizhou, the population was only 300,000, at that time Yan reported to Cao Cao the household registration situation, Cao Cao also sighed that Jizhou is a big state in the world.
As for the situation in Yuzhou, it is even more unbearable, Yuan Shu did mischief in Yuzhou back then, and he had already given the population of Yuzhou to Huo Huoguang, and Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao also fought in Yuzhou, basically wiped out the people of Yuzhou, and it has not exceeded 400,000 until now.
Not to mention Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, the population is even smaller.
At that time, the people of Guanzhong will exceed one million, coupled with Liu Chan's farming and fertility policies, Guanzhong can almost double the population within ten years, reaching two million, perhaps Liu Chan will reach middle age, and he will be able to see the scene of Chang'an New City being filled with a million people.
Weiyang Palace, Liu Chan's study.
Shang Shu ordered Xu Shu to report to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, your decree has been transmitted to all parts of Guanzhong, and it is now June, and sweet potatoes and corn have just been planted.
Wechen visited the nearby villages, and now the people are busy in the fields every day, weeding and irrigating, much more diligent than in the past.
In addition, because of the penalty of five times the tax, those lazy people also had to pick up hoes and go out to work, and the fields at home did not dare to be left in the waste. ”
Liu Chan said with a smile: "In this way, the people can harvest more grain when they have motivation."
As for those lazy people, I thought of one thing, these people are used to idle days, and now even if they go to work in the fields and do not let the land at home be wasted, I am afraid that it will be perfunctory, and they will ignore everything they want.
Therefore, in the next decree, not only should the land be desolated, but each village with the least grain yield per mu should be taxed five times, so that these lazy people could not do their job. ”
Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful." ”
Liu Chan nodded, looked at Xu Shu with a solemn face and said, "Xu Aiqing, my punishment policy is mainly for those lazy people who refuse to work. But I am afraid that the mediocrity and misconduct of the officials will cause the people who are suffering to be wronged and will be taxed several times over.
Therefore, you must take care of this matter and go around the place more often to avoid this kind of thing from happening. In the last battle of Tongguan, our army had thousands of wounded soldiers, and these people were no longer able to participate in the battle, so I decided to appoint them as overseers and send them to various villages to oversee. ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, Wechen will definitely deal with this matter, as for the matter of the wounded soldiers being sent to the place, Da Sima also discussed with Wechen last time, and Wechen is trying to ask Your Majesty for instructions."
Liu Chan asked again: "By the way, how are the people who migrated from Longyou settled?" ”
Xu Shu replied: "There are a total of 9,236 households, more than 37,000 people, and most of them are currently settled in Fufeng County.
They had just harvested wheat in May and had plenty of grain in stock, so the court did not have to supply them with food. ”
Liu Chan asked: "Life on the side of Longyou has been getting better and better over the years, let them move to Guanzhong, these people have complaints!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, these people are originally from Guanzhong, and now Guanzhong is vast and sparsely populated, Weichen not only gave them a considerable amount of land in Longyou, but also gave an extra Yicheng, and these people have no resistance." ”
Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, but the Yizhou Hanzhong side can start to prepare, and after the autumn harvest, the people of Guanzhong there will also be relocated."
As for Jingzhou, Nanyang has not been set down at present, and the roads are different, so I can only wait for Nanyang to be calculated. ”
"No!"
………………
…………
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it comes to the third month of spring in 229 AD.
At this moment, it has been a year since Liu Chan moved the capital to Chang'an.
At the end of October last year, the people of Guanzhong in Yizhou, Hanzhong, after harvesting corn and sweet potatoes, also began to migrate back to Guanzhong.
There are about 25 of these people who have moved back to Guanzhong, so that the number of people in Guanzhong has reached 900,000.
900,000 people, which is already a lot, and when Shu Han surrendered to Wei in history, the people were only 940,000.
However, the 940,000 are only the common people, and the official and military accounts are not counted.
And the 900,000 population in Guanzhong includes all the population, including the army, the common people, the officials, and even the 50,000 conscripts of the Wei State.
In Liu Chan's study.
Li Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, held a secret letter in his hand and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, according to the report from thousands of households stationed in Jianye Jinyiwei, Sun Quan has been proclaimed emperor half a month ago, and his country name is Wu, and he has changed his name to Huanglong.
After Sun Quan became emperor, he sent an envoy Zhang Wen to Chang'an, which is now only three days away from Chang'an. ”
