In the late autumn of another year, the world was troubled and turbulent. There was a strong smell of blood in the air of Sizhou Xiangguo, which was recently recovered by the Han army.
Xiangguo was originally the capital of the state of Zhao in Shijie, gathering no less than a million Hu people of all ethnic groups. When Shihu withdrew from Bingzhou and Shuozhou, he took away the Jie people and got close to all ethnic groups, but not everyone followed Shihu away from the prosperous cities to the desolate grassland.
The ethnic hatred in the Central Plains never stopped. First, the state of Zhao in Shijie raised the butcher's knife, and then the Han army recovered the lost land to retaliate. The two sides killed and killed until Liu Yan appeared in Xiang state. What changed was that the Hu people became the targets of the Han people.
Yes, there are no Jin people in the Central Plains now, but all the people registered by the Han government are Han people. Their long-term low-level life has come out of the living environment. Perhaps the quality of life has not changed much, but at least they don't have to worry about being cooked and eaten by the Hu people all the time. They enjoy the revenge brought by the new order, and think it's good to be a Han person from their heart.
"There is no need to revoke the hunting order, at least not in the near future." Liu Yan is walking in the palace where Shi Hu once lived, walking around the buildings, wearing casual clothes. He followed Ji Chang, sang Yu, LV Yi and others behind him, stopped at a pavilion, and then said, "clean up the Hu people and make more living space. Moreover, killing can awaken the blood of the people and make them know the value of being Han people."
The Revenge of the Han people in the Central Plains against the Hu people is based on the premise that the Han Army stands behind it. It deeply lets the Han people know how beautiful it is to have a backer behind them, which can make people more likely to have a sense of belonging and closeness.
"In just three months, 1.3 million mu of land has been distributed." In fact, sang Yu still prefers the government to equalize the land free of charge, but Liu Yan obviously doesn't think so. He said: "according to the plan, nearly 800000 mu of land needs to be distributed, but... Hu people die and escape. If they don't die and escape, they are in situ sinicized. I'm afraid it's very difficult."
The state of Han does not prevent the Hu people from sinicizing themselves. On the contrary, it adopts a connivance attitude. However, it is not as simple as the Hu people changing their Han surname. It is that their living habits also need to be changed. The other is to participate in retaliation against the Hu people.
The Han state under Liu Yan's rule was built on the overthrow of another regime. The assets originally belonging to the state of Zhao in Shijie undoubtedly became the state-owned assets of the Han state. More than 40% of the powerful and powerful around the country were cleaned up, so the cleaned up powerful and powerful assets naturally became the state-owned assets of the Han state.
The official land of the Han state is definitely more than any other era. Due to the havoc of the Hu people for decades, in fact, the original good farmland has become wasteland. If you want to restore agricultural production, you can't rely on the official alone, so you must distribute the land to the people.
So far, there has been no state led unpaid land equalization in the Central Plains, that is, the people have never obtained land from the state free of charge.
In the pre Qin period, those who owned land were "scholars". These "scholars" needed to fight for the Lord to pay taxes. The "scholars" had ordinary people or slaves as labor force. The backbone of the country was those "scholars", usually warriors.
In the early Western Han Dynasty, people also obtained land from the government for no reason from time to time. Apart from the original landowners, anyone who wanted to obtain land needed credit, that is, military service. It was not until Jungong Jue was used by Liu Che to sell and gather money and silk that it was played bad. The way for people to obtain land depended on buying and selling.
There were some changes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the people still could not obtain land from the state for free. The change meant that local governments let the people cultivate by leasing, and the land was hung under the government's name rather than the people's name.
It has been a scuffle between the princes and the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, the people have not been able to obtain land free of charge. It is still the same as before the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty regime. Without their own land, they can only lease land for people such as officials, aristocratic families, giants and big families.
After Sima's family became the leader of the Central Plains, the aristocratic family forces completely rose. An aristocratic family that has never seen the people as people, of course, they can't distribute land to the people free of charge. On the contrary, they occupy land by various means, no matter what their identity.
Liu Yan thought about equalizing the field, but the idea was only cut off when it rose a little.
The state of Han implemented the policy of farming and war of the state of Qin. Naturally, the people who originally owned the land would not be deprived, but the unpaid equalization of land is an irreconcilable contradiction with the military Duke.
In fact, it's the same. Only after joining the army and working hard to get a few acres of land, can you get the land without any pay, so who is willing to pay?
If the land is equalized, Liu Yan will certainly get the gratitude of all the people at the price of the collapse of the military merit Baron system. Maybe it's not just the collapse of the military merit Baron system, but also the expectation of the people for the establishment of the next new dynasty, so that they can have another land equalization activity? In this way, we are planting a seed to encourage the people to rebel and set up a new dynasty once they disagree, which is incompatible with their own regime.
Since it is not advisable to distribute land free of charge, there are still many Hu people who are rigid and do not sinicize themselves. Can people be allowed to hunt and kill Hu people, cultivate their bloodiness, benefit those brave people, and encourage more cowardly people to restore their bloodiness?
"If all the Hu people in China are killed, you can kill the Hu people outside China." Ji Chang made up his mind from the beginning: "guide public opinion and make the brave people enter the land of Sanqin."
Recently, Liu Yan is thinking about one thing. Encouraging the cleaning up of the remaining Hu people is to cultivate the blood of the people. In fact, there are few Hu people to hunt and kill alone. They either call friends or form gangs based on blood relationship. It looks like a hidden danger.
"The policy of registration can be implemented." Ji Chang did not forget what Liu Yan had said and said, "is it the mercenary?"
"No!" Sang Yu shook his eyes and said, "in all the Dynasties since the Pre-Qin Dynasty, how can we encourage non-governmental organizations to arm?"
It was during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period that people were full of armed groups. At that time, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and almost every school had its own private armed forces. In fact, as long as capable people have their own private armed forces. The result is that in the spring and Autumn period, there were more than wars between countries. Once there were contradictions between schools and individuals, it was definitely not a fight of just a few people, but a fight of private armed forces. It has to be said that some schools have even more troops than the state. If it had not been for the stress that "all kings, princes and generals had seed" at that time, it would never have been a joke for the state to be destroyed by schools or individuals.
"Things in the early Han Dynasty must be prevented." Sang Yu used this to convince Liu Yan last time. Now he still says, "in the early Han Dynasty, Rangers can dominate one side, gather people to attack and destroy the county government. It happens from time to time. Princes fight disorderly and gather people. Rangers can control the victory or defeat of a war."
No names were given, but the Rangers in the early Han Dynasty were really so powerful. For example, Guo Jie, who was feared by Liu Chudu as the emperor, and those who were in the "rebellion of the seven countries" of emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, were really people who could cheer up for cholera.
The embarrassment on Liu Yan's face flashed by. At present, the development of the Central Plains is like this. It is the seed of racial hatred. It doesn't mean that it won't happen if it doesn't happen. What the Han country needs to do now is to prevent who gets big. In fact, the registration strategy is still very necessary, but this can't be said by him.
"It's better to be under control than to let it develop." Ji Chang said solemnly, "registration is to prevent the occurrence of old events in the Pre-Qin and early Han Dynasties."
Cai you has been following the team and hasn't spoken yet. He has had a lot of trouble recently. The cooperative commune of the Han state has almost come to an end with most of the Central Plains being settled. First, there is the peninsula. Because of the outbreak of war, many people from the peninsula and the Japanese islands have come to the territory of the Han state.
Hunting and killing the Hu people to divide the land equally is the national policy of the Han state in order to transfer more land to the people. In this way, there is no need for the cooperative commune to exist. Forcing the cooperative commune to continue to exist is to create public resentment. The most important thing is that most of the people in the cooperative commune were recruited in front. Behind the recruited people, they were compensated for five mu of land. Who is willing to do public work with their own land?
"Virtue and talent?" Liu Yan called several times before waking up the absent-minded Cai you and asked, "what do you think?"
Cai you naturally said what he had, and withdrew to LV Yi halfway.
"There is such a thing." LV Yi said about the affairs of the peninsula and the Japanese Islands: "most of them moved out before and now want to return to their hometown."
Whenever there is a war in the Central Plains, some people move out, and most families and clans move out. Most of the people who go to foreign countries do not do well, but some people develop well. Now most families want to move back to their hometown, including a side branch of Baiji's Gongsun family.
"Come back and come back..." Liu Yan paused for a while before continuing: "many technologies are left out. Moreover, the more the population, the better, but not now."
Koguryo, Baiji and Silla on the peninsula are now the vassals of the Han state. Silla is the most obedient. Koguryo and Baiji have a lot of small moves.
There are more countries in the Japanese archipelago that are not countries. There are hundreds of countries in a small archipelago. The larger countries are just a county in the Central Plains, and the smaller countries are not as big as a village in the Central Plains. The relatively large ones, such as chuyun, Kyushu, Jibei, Daiwa and nobi, all claimed allegiance to the state of Han and also sent troops to participate in the war in Eastern Liaoning.
According to Liu Yan's meaning, there is no need for what belongs to the country, but the current time is wrong. It is not good to annex it. As a county, it is necessary to make some deployment first.
"That's what I'm worried about." LV Yi's management of foreign affairs encountered a lot of bad things, such as the sudden opposition of Tuoba on behalf of the country, and some vassal acts: "chuyun and Kyushu asked for internal attachment more than once. In order not to scare the snake, the minister has been persuasing with good words."
In fact, the main population of chuyun and Kyushu comes from Fuyu (East 1 North), and the past immigrants from the mainland do not account for the majority. However, these two countries are like crazy. They have repeatedly asked for attachment since the third year of Yuanshuo.
"Didn't the troops of vassal countries come to the Central Plains in the second year of Yuanshuo?" LV Yi said the answer: "after chuyun and the soldiers of Kyushu returned, they preached and said something beautiful. The next thing is..." he looked like he couldn't laugh or cry, and continued: "their so-called king and nobles are worse off than some rich families under our rule, so..."
Liu Yan suddenly remembered something. It seemed that similar things had happened in the Japanese islands during the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, some countries of the Japanese islands were crazy and asked to be annexed. The land of Kyushu has not been allowed by the Tang Dynasty to raise the flag of the Tang Dynasty, indicating that it is the land of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, in the records of later Japanese islands, Kyushu was the territory of the Tang Dynasty in a certain period of Li Tang Dynasty. (true story)
That is, the Han state under Liu Yan's rule now. The core dignitaries are influenced by Liu Yan too much. They have an unlimited desire to occupy the land, no matter where the land is and what the land looks like there. In other dynasties, they would not look at an inch of land outside the Central Plains. The first idea attached to it is definitely "which poor bastard should be stained with the light of the Chinese dynasty".
"Their will is very firm." Cai you brought the topic back: "since you want to move back, you always need to buy a home."
At present, land trading is strictly prohibited in the Han Dynasty. Anyone who wants to obtain land needs military merit, including joining the army to obtain five mu of land, or killing enemies on the battlefield to obtain land after becoming a regular army, and then hunting Hu heads for land.
"They have been involved in hunting Hu people, and..." Cai you said with a bitter smile: "more than one person asked whether they could land in the puppet Dynasty to hunt heads."
Many news of the war in the South has not yet reached Xiang. People in Xiang, including Liu Yan, do not know what the war over there has developed into.
The pre War deployment strategy has been implemented, including three routes of invasion from north to south, and continuous landing on the coastline of Yangzhou.
The fleet of Yangzhou, a small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, landed on the sea. Some of them set out from Changguang County of Qingzhou, and more from Liaodong, peninsula and Japanese islands.
In fact, now the whole East China Sea has become the inland sea of the Han state, and even the waters around the Japanese islands have been designated as the sphere of influence by the Han state. The fleet needs to be replenished, which drives the sea and air routes between the peninsula, the Japanese islands and the Chinese mainland. Only then does it lead to the wave of return of immigrants who previously fled to other countries, and it also makes many people from their own countries come and go between their own country and the Chinese country.
"The people in the south are also Han and Miao." Liu Yan seems to regard the South as something in the middle of the mountain: "the theory of hunting does not exist."
Cai you also answered everyone who came to ask. Seeing too many inexplicable expressions after listening, he obviously didn't feel that those people in the South were the same race as himself. This is the major event that he needs to report to Liu Yan, and it is also the major event that the country needs to face after really destroying the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
