Chapter 10 won the first month of the eighth festival of the Central Plains, Yanzhou Dingtao, and the general Xingyuan. Jizhou Assassin Guo Ce, Yanzhou Assassin Yang Qi, Qingzhou Assassin Zang Hong and Hanoi Taishou Zheng Yan and other county guards, Left Guard General Lu Yi, Later General Yushi, Zuo General Yan Liang, Long Xiang General Zhao Yun and the generals of the unified army, the imperial court envoy Zhongshu Jian Xun You, Shangshu Xie Ming, Tang Fang, Zhishu Yushi Chen Hao and other civil and military ministers gathered in Dingtao.

The ministers congratulated the general on the New Year at the behest of the Son of Heaven, and discussed the military and political affairs of the year at the behest of the Son of Heaven, and agreed on a specific strategy for the imperial court to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the imperial court could recover Luoyang in the shortest possible time, take the Central Plains, and pacify the world.

The general Li Hong took his wife Fengxue to the line. The generals and ministers from all over the country had to discuss military affairs day and night, while Mrs. Fengxue prepared feasts in the military tent every day.

The general was hospitable, and all the officials who rushed to the meeting to discuss the matter, regardless of their position, should be warmly entertained to comfort the laborers.

After the Pingyuan County Taishou Youheng was full of wine and food, he said to the general with a smile, the last time the general went to the plain, I advised the general not to be too frugal, to eat better, to dress better, now it seems that the general is as good as a stream, and he has really changed a lot.

Those of us who are subordinates have also been stained with a lot of light. Li Hong laughed, I listened to what your lord said, but the result was very different.

I need money to make my life better, but I don't have that much money, so I have no choice but to slap my swollen face and become fat.

You Heng is very strange, the generals are all marquis of ten thousand households, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have also issued orders and rewards three times and twice, and you still lack money to spend?

The general said that this is the price of luxury. I'm just a little more generous, I do my best where I should be human, and I'm just inviting you to a meal when I should be entertaining you, but I'm getting strapped for money.

My money, food, and rewards are already a lot together, and they are among the best in this dynasty, and I don't have enough to spend, let alone you, so this luxury cannot be opened.

Once the wind of luxury prevails, the corruption and perversion of the law will not be stopped. In the long past, the discipline has been declining, how can the society revitalize and prosper?

How do the people live and work in peace? You Heng didn't care. If the imperial court practiced frugality for a long time, and issued all kinds of mandatory regulations to punish luxury, everyone from the rich bureaucrats to the common people and soldiers would inevitably be poor.

Everyone has a good life, and the ultimate goal of Dahan Zhongxing is also to let the people of Dahan live a good life.

When the state treasury is piling up, the bureaucrats and the common people are still thrifty, and the result is self-evident, and everyone will certainly lose their enthusiasm for the revitalization of society.

No matter what you do, you are still poor, or you can't spend the money, so why do you do things actively?

When the Han Dynasty lost its enthusiasm for revitalizing the society and was full of complaints against the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, the good days of the Han Dynasty came to an end, and what followed was inevitably the deception and trampling of the law.

When the law loses its dignity and prestige, will discipline still be maintained? Can the social system still be stable?

Will the turbulent days be far away? Li Hong was speechless when he was refuted by Youheng. While the practice of frugality may lead to poverty among the people, the consequences of the promotion of luxury are even more serious.

How to control thrift and luxury within a reasonable range that is conducive to the development of society, and how to control them

"Degree" should be a difficult problem in the Zhongxing period of the Han Dynasty. If it is well controlled, the pace of ZTE will be greatly accelerated, and if it is not well controlled, ZTE's great cause may be ruined overnight.

"After this discussion, you can write a detailed letter to the Son of Heaven and the court on this matter. Because the scope of this matter is very wide, involving issues such as the law, the new policy, the rule of officials, the stability and development of society, and so on, it is not something that can be solved by the Son of Heaven with one or two sentences and a few holy decrees issued by the imperial court. The general smiled and said to You Heng,

"After the Son of Heaven and the imperial court return to Luoyang, I will play the Son of Heaven and let you go to Beijing as an official. It's really overkill for you to be a guard in the plains. "You Heng shake your hand,

"I'm a crazy husband, and I'm not suitable to be an official in the capital. I stayed in Jinyang for a while, and I offended many people, and the eldest princess and many ministers were very dissatisfied with me. Although I don't care about life and death, if I can live freely and do what I enjoy, I am certainly willing to live a little longer. Li Hong smiled dumbly.

This one is self-aware. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the general Li Hong convened the civil and military officials to discuss the meeting.

Shi Fu Gan, the head of the Great Sima General's Mansion (After Jia Xu arrived in Jinyang, Fu Gan turned to the two governors. He gave the ministers a detailed analysis of the situation in the world and the latest war situation in each battlefield.

Sima Wang Ling (Wang Ling of the two provinces was engaged in Zhonglang, and Wang Ling was turned into Sima of the two provinces, and Zhao Xing, the great-grandson of the boss of Zhao Qi, was turned into a Zhonglang.

He gave the ministers a general overview of the disposition of the various armies, and gave a detailed explanation of the attack strategy for this year.

This year, the imperial court has two targets, one is Guanzhong and the other is Luoyang. In the holy decree, the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess asked the ministers of civil and military affairs to overcome all difficulties and strive to take the Central Plains this year.

The reason why the imperial court asked the general to convene the generals in the army and the officials of Hebei, Qing, and Yan states to discuss in Dingtao was actually to achieve this goal.

And in order to achieve this goal, first of all, there must be enough financial income, and secondly, there must be enough troops.

These are the two things that the ministers discussed intensively. Xun You, the special envoy of the imperial court and the supervisor of the central book, explained in detail to the ministers the population and land distribution of the southward migration.

The southward migration of 2.5 million people, involving five regional states and almost all counties, was far more difficult than originally expected.

In October, the eldest princess and the ministers were very optimistic about the southward migration, believing that it would take about six months to complete the southward migration before this year's spring ploughing. But now it seems that half a year is simply not enough. It will take at least eight to ten months for the move to the south to be fully implemented, that is, before the autumn harvest this year. Xun You said worriedly,

"If the southward migration cannot be completed, Hebei will be unstable, and if Hebei is unstable, the war will not be fought."

"As early as when the imperial court decided to move the population south, some ministers strongly objected, believing that the Qing and Yan prefectures had just been taken, the situation in the Central Plains was very dangerous, the conditions for moving south were not yet ripe, and a hasty move south could lead to the collapse of Hebei. However, due to the increasing population of the three prefectures of Hebei, the increasing tension of land, and the increasingly serious population crisis, the eldest princess and the ministers still resolutely made up their minds to implement the southward migration. At present, it seems that the decision of the imperial court is indeed a bit hasty and blind, and we have encountered too many problems in the process of moving south, so we have to play Jinyang three times and twice, asking the imperial court to slow down the speed of moving south, and not to move the population south at one time. ”

"What's the biggest challenge?" Li Hong asked,

"In the past, when we were in the most difficult time, millions of displaced people rushed into northern Xinjiang, but we still solved it relatively safely. Now that the conditions are good, why is it more difficult? The population of this southward migration is only 2.5 million, which is only twice as much as the population of Qingzhou who moved south the year before last. Li Hong turned his head to look at Yang Qi, the Yanzhou assassin who was sitting beside him,

"Back then, Lord Yang served as the pastor of Jizhou in Jizhou and drove a large number of displaced people to our northern Xinjiang. Now you won't repeat the old trick and drive the people to Xuzhou and Yuzhou again, right? The big tent burst into laughter, and the laughter immediately diluted the tension in the tent.

Yang Qi's old face flushed and smiled embarrassedly.

"Hehe, the situation was special at that time, the situation was special." Xun You didn't answer Li Hong's question, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a long time without speaking.

Xie Ming saw Xun You's difficulty, took the initiative to stand up, bowed down and said, "General, the main problem is that there is not enough land. Li Hong was a little puzzled when he saw that Xun You didn't speak, and when he heard Xie Ming say that the land was not enough, he was stunned.

"Not enough land? You're kidding, right? In such a big place as Yanzhou and Qingzhou, there is not enough land? Xie Ming nodded very affirmatively,

"General, it's true that there is not enough land." Li Hong smiled suddenly, his eyes swept over the faces of Guo Ce, Zang Hong, Yang Qi and other officials one by one, and his tone immediately became solemn.

"What's going on? How could this happen? Yang Qi sighed, pointing at Xie Ming,

"Zhizhi, you explain it to the general. The matter of moving south is related to the great cause of Zhongxing, and it should have been presided over by the general himself, but the imperial court sent a few patrol envoys down casually, which is simply nonsense. Gongda has no weight in their words, and they have to ask the court for everything, how can they not have an accident? The eldest princess and the court were too inconsiderate. "The focus of the southward migration includes two parts, one is the land redistribution in the areas where the population has moved out, and the other is the land distribution in the areas where the population has been relocated, which is the land distribution in Qingdao and Yanzhou.

Land is already very tight in the areas where the population has moved out, and there is also a difference between wide and narrow townships (wide townships where the land is wide and sparsely populated, and narrow townships where the land is narrow and densely populated), so the local government officials, officials, wealthy people and ordinary people all use their own tricks in order to compete for the limited vacant land.

In the end, of course, it is the ordinary people who suffer. The population that moved to Qingzhou the year before last was mainly the people of the southern counties of Jizhou, and because of their proximity to the Yellow River, wars could break out at any time, and the population of various places was not very concentrated, almost all

"Wide Township", so there are few such disputes. But this time it was different, this time most of the population moved south from the northern counties of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou, which are almost all narrow townships (there is little land available for cultivation in the border counties, and the Hu people are constantly moving south, so there is also a situation of less land and more people), and it is not surprising that such disputes have skyrocketed.

The purpose of the migration was to benefit the common people, but now it is not the common people who benefit, but the government officials, the officials, and the wealthy who already own a lot of land.

Of course, this is contrary to the original intention of the imperial court, and the imperial court naturally wants to come forward to rectify it. This greatly delayed the completion of the southward migration, and also caused many hidden dangers in Hebei, so the situation in Hebei appeared very unstable.

The problem of insufficient land should not have occurred in the areas where the population was relocated, and the imperial court was very optimistic about the southward relocation precisely because there was a lot of land in Qingdao and Yanzhou.

However, the main reason for the lack of land in the relocated areas is precisely because of the major mistakes made by the imperial court in its southward relocation policy.

The imperial court believed that there was a lot of land in Qing and Yanzhou, so it issued an order to repay the land that had been borrowed on credit to the wealthy men of the three states of Hebei.

In the past, the imperial court also bought a large amount of land from them at a low price, but this time the imperial court fulfilled its promise and sold the land to them at a low price.

It was also very favorable in quantity, twice or even three times the land they had sold to the imperial court in the past. This method of the imperial court was not wrong in the first place, this was the best strategy to rebuild the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, win over the wealthy men and lords, and use their money to quickly restore the wealth of Qingdao and Yanzhou.

However, the imperial court made three mistakes, one was that the imperial court made a wrong calculation of the greed and intelligence of the wealthy men of the three states of Hebei, the second was a wrong calculation of the tolerance of the ordinary people, and the third was a wrong calculation of the incorruptibility of the civil and military ministers who were enclosed on the land.

In order to prevent the wealthy men from owning a large amount of land and endangering the new policy, the imperial court specially stipulated that they should be

"households" buy land. At the same time, in order to mobilize all the gate valve tycoons in the three states of Hebei to go south to Qingdao and Yanzhou, the imperial court invested money in the land, so as to restore the taxation of the two states as soon as possible, and also allowed many gate valve tycoons who had not sold land to the imperial court at a low price in the past to enjoy the same preferential treatment.

As a result, the number of wealthy people in the three states of Hebei Province surged several times in one day, and large households became small households, and one family became several or even a dozen.

These people took the vouchers issued by the local government and went south to Qingdao and Yanzhou to buy land. For a time, Qingdao and Yanzhou set off a mighty situation

The tide of "enclosure". If you have land, you can't plant it without people. As a result, these gate valve tycoons started the idea of ordinary people again.

According to the Xintian system and the new tax system, ordinary people, including the slaves of the wealthy families of the gatekeepers, were given a share of the land and had to pay taxes according to the ding.

In order to compete with the imperial court for labor, the wealthy men gritted their teeth and united to attract the people to cultivate their fields with lower land rents.

In order to make more profits, the people are of course willing to cultivate more fields. But the people's labour was limited and it was impossible to work day and night in the fields, so they had to reduce their work in the less profitable fields.

In this way, the land used by the imperial court to distribute to the common people will be greatly reduced, and the taxes of the imperial court will also be greatly reduced in the future, which of course is very different from the wishes of the imperial court.

In desperation, the imperial court issued a moratorium on the sale of land and reformulated more detailed rules to verify and verify the qualifications of those who purchased land.

Because of the embarrassment of the imperial court, it had to take the land to reward the meritorious civil and military ministers, this kind of thing is unprecedented in this dynasty, but it can not be sought, and it is impossible to happen again in the future.

Therefore, the civil and military ministers who were entitled, each showed their magical powers, and they all rushed to Qingdao and Yanzhou in person or sent their relatives and disciples to the best land

"Circle" to yourself. Most of these meritorious ministers are military generals, and most of them are born in yellow scarves, lawless, and courageous one is bigger than the other.

"Circle" up the ground bull coaxing, thinking

The "circle" is as big as it gets. The society and the country were all fought down by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu could not be more

"Circle" the ground. Originally, ten or eight hectares of land were sealed, but now they have become dozens of hectares. The local officials did not dare to provoke them, and they did not dare to say a word, and it is said that several officials with many mouths and many tongues beat them down.

Fifty hectares of land is reported to the imperial court, that is, five hectares only. The big backer behind these people is Li Hong, the powerful general of Sima in this dynasty, who dares to offend?

Fifty hectares becomes five hectares, who dares to say one

The word "no"? As a result, the total amount of land in Qingdao and Yanzhou has shrunk sharply, and when it is distributed to ordinary people, of course, there is not much left, and it is overstretched.

Li Hong's face was pale, and he was furious. Such a big matter, Xun You, the Zhongshu supervisor in charge of the southward move, actually concealed it and did not report it, which shows how difficult it is for him.

He was not only worried about offending Li Hong and the generals of Northern Xinjiang, but also worried that Li Hong would protect his subordinates and have a fierce dispute with the imperial court.

Once this matter becomes a big problem, not only will Hebei be unstable, the morale of the army will be weakened, and even the great cause of Zhongxing will be in jeopardy.

Now Li Hong knows why no one in Jinyang is willing to take on the matter of moving south. The imperial court's decision to move the population south was indeed too hasty, and whoever was responsible for the matter might lose their heads.

Xun You was also forced to the edge of this cliff by the eldest princess, and she could only take one step at a time.

"The move to the south has already begun, and it is impossible for the imperial court to issue an order to cancel it." Li Hongqiang held back his anger, and his hands on the desk kept trembling,

"If the matter of moving south is not handled well, it will not only affect the taxation of the imperial court and delay the war in the Central Plains, but also deal a serious blow to the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, you ...... Why don't you report it? ”

"General...... "Only Yang Qi dared to speak now, he approached Li Hong and whispered,

"Lord Tian Chou braved the snow to cross the Taihang Mountain and returned to Jinyang, just to tell the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess and the imperial court. You are not in good health, and you have been training the army, Wen Ruo and Zhizhi are of course not rash to report before they get the exact and detailed information. Now......" He looked at Li Hong's face and barely squeezed out a smile,

"Now I'll tell you, although it's a little late, but it's still too late to redeem. Don't be too angry, national politics is like this, if you want to complete the great cause of ZTE smoothly and without any obstacles, it is absolutely impossible. Li Hong was even more angry when he heard this, and just wanted to speak, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his body shook involuntarily.

Yang Qi was taken aback and grabbed his arm,

"General, this matter is a lesson for the imperial court, now only you can stabilize the overall situation, you must not fall." Li Hong closed his eyes and let out a long breath, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Lord Xun, is there a way to deal with it at present?" Xun You bowed slightly and said respectfully: "I have rushed to the imperial court and asked the general to come forward to save the situation." Li Hong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he stared at Xun You and didn't know what to say.

This Lord Xun is really old and sophisticated, and he is proficient in the way of being an official.

"General, the specific countermeasures, I believe that the eldest princess and the ministers of the court will be able to agree immediately, but the person who implements the will of the court must be the general, otherwise it will ......" Li Hong sighed and waved his hand helplessly,

"Urgently tell the general in the army, and go to the military meeting at night." Jump to
