Section 676 Awakening
It can be specially recorded in the history books: winter and December, thunder, rain.
This heavy rain is naturally not a disaster that will stop in a few days.
To be precise, this is a phased adjustment of the Earth's climate adjustment period before entering the Xiaoice Age.
Through historical records, it is easy to see the entire climate change.
This round of adjustment should be the sixth year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who was written nearly 20 years ago.
Subsequently, in the ninth year, there was a great drought in the eastern part of the country, and in the twelfth year, the Yellow River broke through the mouth of the eastern part of the river, and in the next six years, there was a great drought in the world and locust plagues broke out.
These are just the large-scale natural climate disasters that have been recorded in the annals of history and have affected the whole country.
As for the occasional small and medium-sized local disasters in the middle, they were not recorded in the official history books by the historians, but only became the archives in the Shiqu Pavilion.
Even so, the blow to the Han family caused by this round of adjustment was extremely heavy.
In the ninth year of Emperor Taizong, after the great drought in the eastern part of the country, the state immediately ordered the release of prisoners and palace maids in Emperor Hui's harem to make up for the population loss caused by the drought.
In the twelfth year, the Yellow River burst, and Emperor Taizong immediately issued an edict to remove the land and half rent.
In thirteen years, it was completely exempted from the Tianxia land tax.
In the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, after deep introspection and adjustment, Emperor Taizong issued one of the famous "Three Edicts of Xinghan", "Edict of the People".
In this edict, the supreme ruler, the emperor, began with a painful description: "The intermittent people are not as old as Deng, and there are floods, droughts, and epidemics, and I am very worried. ’
It can be seen that the disasters at that time were frequent and serious. It has reached the point that even the emperor has to put down the shelf. To the point of taking it seriously.
After the locust plague in the summer and April of the sixth year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, the Han government immediately issued an order that 'the princes should not pay tribute.' Chi Shanze. 'Again' subtract the serviment. Loss of Lang Clerk. Facang Geng to revitalize (endow) the people. He also ordered the people to sell their lords.
Through multiple channels. Mitigate and recover from the impact of disasters.
At that time, in Chang'an's Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, almost half of the eunuchs, maids and various officials were even eliminated, and the harem concubines simply couldn't even see the shadow of silk and satin.
Moreover, these climate disasters have not only affected a corner of the Han family.
This can be seen from the records of the Xiongnu in the past dynasties.
In the third year after the drought in the ninth year of Taizong, the Xiongnu entered the Koudi Dao.
In the third year after the twelfth year of the Hedong breach, in the winter of the fourteenth year. The main force of the Xiongnu poured into the south of the Kou River, and the Han-Huns broke out the largest war after the Battle of Pingcheng.
From the sixth year of the Later Yuan Dynasty to the year after Liu Che's father came to power, in three years, the Xiongnu invaded twice on a large scale.
These accounts all show an almost uniform pattern - the Xiongnu usually invaded on a large scale in the third year after the outbreak of the Han disaster, and plundered southward.
This cannot but be said to be an extremely striking piece of evidence.
This proves that the Huns also suffered from the calamity of God.
If it weren't for this, the frequency of their invasions would not be so consistent with the outbreak law of the Han Dynasty disaster.
As a traverser. Liu Che knows that after this abnormal climate, the global climate will generally enter a stable period in the next two or three decades.
This brought an unprecedented golden period to both Han and Hungary.
Aquatic plants flourish on the grassland. The wind and rain in the Central Plains are smooth.
This is the basis for the Han and Hungarian truces for more than ten years in history.
Since you can fill your stomach just by grazing. So why risk your life and run to the foot of the Great Wall to hit your head and break your blood?
And in China. Taking advantage of this rare time, the country quickly established thirty-six large state-run ranches. Hundreds of thousands of horses.
The rule of Wenjing also reached its peak.
So much so that the ropes that strung money in the treasury had rotted, and as for the grain in the warehouse, it was tons and tons of mold.
However, in front of you, how to spend this Xiaoice period expansion trailer.
It is still the biggest problem facing Liu Che and the Han government.
Torrential rain, in the midst of thunderstorms, continued for several days.
The water level of the Wei River soared rapidly, and many tributaries burst their banks.
The temperature dropped from a peak of nearly 20 degrees Celsius to nearly freezing.
The Yellow River has frozen and frozen.
In the face of such an abnormal disaster, even Liu Che took precautions in advance and mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized.
The wheat planting industry in Guanzhong has still been hit hard.
According to the statistics of the internal history and the big farmers, at least nearly 5,000 hectares of wheat fields were flooded by the heavy rains, and they were destined to lose their crops.
The sudden change in climate has affected at least 10,000 hectares of wheat fields, causing them to face a poor harvest or even no harvest.
The whole Guanzhong is full of mourning.
Hundreds of people wept in sorrow.
But the so-called, blessings and misfortunes rely on, and misfortunes and blessings rely on.
This disaster has not brought all the bad things.
When the tens of thousands of families affected by the disaster were still in tears at home, many businessmen came to the door with large sums of money and various promises.
Men can go to the mines to mine, to the workshops to smelt iron, to work on the construction site.
Eat and shelter, pay a bucket of corn every day, and pay an extra 50 yuan a month.
Even women can go to the workshop to weave cloth and go to the mulberry field to raise silkworms.
Since last year, with the implementation of the salt and iron government policy and the resettlement policy.
The merchants in Guanzhong really loaded their heads into a honey jar, so sweet that they didn't want to climb out.
Originally, many people thought that the salt and iron official camp would be a disastrous policy.
But who would have thought that after the implementation of the salt and iron official camp, their life would be better.
They no longer have to worry about sales and channels.
As long as you can produce iron tools and salt, the salt and iron yamen jointly led by the big farmers and the Shaofu will eat it all in one bite without blinking an eye, according to the official price.
And the resettlement immigrants are more like a monster with a big mouth open.
Whether it is salt and iron utensils or clothing and food, they will not refuse to come, and swallow them all in their stomachs.
Therefore, in the past few months, the businessmen and heroes in Guanzhong have been really happy and troubled.
Happily, the business is so cool!
As long as the quality can be guaranteed a little, the products produced, whether it is salt, iron or other things, will not be marketable at all.
As for the troubles, everyone suddenly realized that they were running out of manpower!
For a long time, the population structure of Guanzhong was mainly composed of yeoman farmers and landlords.
Occasionally, there were bankrupt peasants, and they were immediately arranged by the Shaofu to enter the Shanglin Garden to farm for the emperor Laozi.
Most of the hired workers of the merchants are basically their own domestic slaves or tenants.
Even if it is as strong as the Tian family, the whole clan is combined, and the number of employees is only thousands.
Relying on these people, it is obvious that they will not be able to meet the task of expanding the scale of production.
So, as soon as everyone's eyes rolled, they immediately turned their minds to the people who were affected by the disaster.
Inadvertently, capital ignorantly took the first step of its awakening -- to compete with agriculture for population. (To be continued.) )
