Chapter 617

As a king, although Liu Yan often led the army to fight, he really didn't patrol the territory for so many years.

The current years are not the future. Ying Zheng, the first emperor in Chinese history, made frequent patrols after sweeping the eight wastelands and six harmonies. Later, the emperors in the early Han Dynasty did not stay in the imperial city all the time. Apart from those who ascended the throne at a young age and died before they were adults, that is, Liu Hongcai, Emperor Xiaoling, did not go out of Chang'an in his life.

Later, during the period of the coexistence of Cao Wei, Liu Shu and Sun Wu, the supreme rulers of the three parties would visit the place from time to time. Even when the Sima family usurped the throne and unified the Central Plains again, they also maintained the habit of visiting the place.

In every strong Dynasty, the emperor was definitely not born in the palace and died in the palace. More or less, he would visit the place. Only at the end of each dynasty did the emperor really live in the palace city and die in the palace city. He didn't step outside the palace city for a day.

When emperors of all dynasties trained their heirs, unless they were a prince who stood up as a target, they would certainly create opportunities for the prince to go out for inspection. After all, as long as your mind is not confused, you should know that you have been in a small circle and haven't seen things outside the circle in person, you can only hear what others want to say. The emperor absolutely doesn't want his successor to be a bird in a cage.

In terms of cultivating heirs, it can be said that the emperors of the Han Dynasty are the most bloody. They usually start with the princes and kings of the imperial clan. The heirs to the throne of the first Han Dynasty have killed relatives, and the worst will be designed to kill some honourable officials. The heir to the throne waiting for the Han Dynasty no longer attacked relatives or xungui, but exploited the people. In fact, the Han Dynasty has also weakened.

Since the small imperial court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed, Huanwen has been killed in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly three years, and the necessary population migration has not fallen. After the South was incorporated into the rule of the Han state, there is only blood and wail. It is necessary for Liu Yan to come to Xuanwei and show his kindness.

Clean up decadent aristocratic families... Well, in fact, it is to kill those stubborn guys. On the one hand, it is to meet the needs of stability, and more to eliminate more original vested interests, so that emerging interest groups can support and supplement them. All dynasties have come through this way.

The Han Army's expansion of territory was too rapid. A considerable number of places were completely vast and sparsely populated. Qingzhou, Liu Yan's Longxing place, was constantly migrating people. How could it not divert the densely populated areas south of the Yangtze River?

The population migration in the south of the Yangtze River is generally smooth, which is based on the deterrence of the extinction of many aristocratic families. In addition, a considerable number of people originally belonged to hidden slaves and the people without land.

"About 50% of the migrants in the South were moved to Bashu." Cai you, the internal history of managing millet, presided over the division and resettlement of migrant population. He smiled and said: "Bashu also belongs to the southern climate, and there will not be too many acclimatized phenomena. Because it takes a waterway, there is not much food consumption on the way, and there is no large-scale disease reduction."

The total number of people migrating from the south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty reached 2.3 million, of which 600000 were relocated from Jiankang, and most of the rest were from Yangzhou.

Bashu has a small population since ancient times, and even fewer belong to the Han and Miao ethnic groups. First, a large number of them were consumed when the Three Kingdoms coexisted, and the population of the Han and Miao ethnic groups did not increase much waiting for the Sima family to reunify.

Later, Li Xiong, a di ethnic group, established political power in Bashu. Many di ethnic groups, Qiang ethnic groups and zahu ethnic groups poured in. The life of the local Ba people was much better, and a group of Nanman came out of the southwest mountainous area. As a result, there was less living space for the Han and Miao ethnic groups. It was not until Li's Chenghan was destroyed that the population statistics were carried out. The Han and Miao people in Liangzhou and Yizhou were less than 200000.

The Han Army carried out a long-term campaign in Bashu. Due to the small number of Han and Miao ethnic groups in Bashu, few local families were involved in the liquidation. At most, they separated their families according to the practice of Tuen order, liberated many slaves, and were led by the Han army against non Han and Miao ethnic groups.

"If you don't care about those guys who say they are Han people without learning a few words, there are basically no foreigners in Bashu now." In fact, Xu Zheng is not satisfied with the fuzziness of the ethnic policy, but he knows that it is a necessary national policy to be a Taiwei official: "a considerable part of the Di, Qiang and Ba people have retreated to the mountainous areas of Nanman, and the local garrison is driving them in the direction of ma'erdan."

The so-called ma'ergan is the plateau. Some of the alien tribes who were driven out of Bashu migrated to the plateau with difficulty. It seems that they began to fight with the savages above. Many people died and were forced to flee south along the Lancang water. Some crossed the surrounding water and entered the deep mountains and forests.

Whether it is lancangshui or zhoushui, it is actually the modern Yun1 south. There is a large mountain range to the west of zhoushui. Now it does not have an official name. In modern times, it is called gao1 Li 1 Gong 1 mountain.

The location of lancangshui was named Ailao in the Western Han Dynasty. In fact, the downstream is the Mekong region, which is the boundary of Laos. However, there is no Laos now. Instead, there are a considerable number of Lao tribes. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many ethnic groups, the largest of which were Lao, Thai and Khmer.

The lower reaches of lancangshui did not belong to the original Li Chenghan, but to ningzhou, which originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Ningzhou's jurisdiction is very large. Together, it is the land of the three southwest counties in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. However, because it is not valued, there are basically few governance places, and the associated residents are pitiful.

The aliens who fled in a panic were first caught and killed by the Han Army, and then driven down from the plateau by fierce savages. After heavy casualties, they fled to the territory of the Lao people, but magically killed all the tribes of the Lao people, forcing the Lao people to seek refuge from the Thai people in the north.

"Nanfu county magistrate has a center to report. Several tribes of the Lao nationality sent people to court and took the canonized credentials given by the first Han Dynasty." LV Yi said that the first Han Dynasty was the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the more than 200 years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were really not too many vassals. There were no less than 30 in the southwest alone. He almost twitched his face and said in tears and laughter: "the biggest official in several canonized credentials is the county magistrate..."

Liu Yan's understanding is that the Eastern Han Dynasty was a Jimi District in the southwest, that is, it incorporated those places into the Chinese cultural circle and granted local aborigines an official position at random, so that future generations could shout "it has been a sacred and inseparable part of us since ancient times" when they want those lands, As for whether future generations have the ability to take down the land, they can't control it.

Jimi district was not popular in the western and Eastern Han Dynasties. Strong men always wanted it and had to seize it. Only when they felt that it was of little value and left it aside, they would lose it to several small officials who couldn't even reach the county level.

Jimi area really prevailed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Li Tang was the most developed. Only some historians said that Li Tang's territory looked very large, but it was those inherent places that were really controlled by the center. The so-called inherent place was the largest territory in the Western Han Dynasty. In history, Yang Sui and Zhu Ming controlled more territory than the Western Han Dynasty, but Li Tang did not.

Liu Yangen didn't bother to ask Lao People for help. What he needed to know was the current situation of those people who migrated from the south of the Yangtze River to Bashu.

"On the whole, it's safe." Cai you explained to Liu Yan in detail that those who migrated in the past did not have their own land. Now, although they still do not have their own land, they produce more output than they could have left. He said later: "now more children can get land rewards, which can be regarded as giving them hope."

It was a national policy of the Han state to reward land for childbearing, which was officially determined the year before last, in order to encourage more childbearing to increase the country's population. There are not many subsidiary policies. Apart from the necessary national economic and food assistance, it is a national policy that continues the dynasties of the Central Plains, that is, men must marry at the age of men and women must marry at the age of women, or there will be legal constraints such as punishment.

Most of the land in the Han Dynasty was owned by the state. There were a lot of land. Apart from being awarded for merit, only those families who had legal land deeds. At the same time, the illegality of Tian Qihe is based on the fact that the state of Han does not recognize it. In fact, those families will not be recognized unless they work for Liu Yan early.

As the fleet sailed into the Yangtze River waterway, Liu Yan could see that the two sides were crowded with onlookers. He couldn't help asking, "how many people are there in the south of the Yangtze River now?"

"There are still nearly 1.3 million in Yangzhou, about 4 million in total with other states." Cai you specially explained that some of the people who migrated from Yangzhou were still settled in the south of the Yangtze River, but moved to those sparsely populated counties: "after the field investigation, guang1 Prefecture and Jingzhou are suitable for grain cultivation, but it still needs years to reclaim land."

Canton 1 is a modern Canton 1 East and Canton 1 West, 1 Zhuang, 1 ethnic group, 1 self-governing and 1 District, which is convenient for reclamation, that is, in the belt of Canton 1 East.

Jingzhou is a modern South of lake 1. It can be said that the difficulty of reclamation is not as difficult as that of guang1 East. If we don't care about the ecology, setting fire to the woods and wilderness will be a very fast means. After dealing with those roots, there is a fertile field, which will never live up to the reputation of the hometown of fish and rice.

Liu Yan knows very well which places in the south are suitable for grain production. What impressed him most was that during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Hunan alone supplied more than half of the grain in the country. No matter how long the development can take shape, it can't be so wasteful anyway.

"The richest south of the Yangtze River is in Yangzhou. Handicraft industry is very developed and there are good fields everywhere." When sang Yu said this, he looked a little negative. Instead of asking Yu Yi, he asked, "Tingwei office has search authority. Should you know something about Yangzhou?"

Didn't the Han state carry out some reforms? One of the biggest reforms is some law enforcement and supervision. For example, the governor of the imperial palace is responsible for sentencing and trial, the Tingwei office is specialized in search, arrest and detention, and the Dali temple is responsible for supervision.

Yu Yi was still watching the onlookers on both sides of the strait with a complex mood, which meant that time had changed. Sang Yu suddenly came and began to understand why more and more colleagues didn't like sang Yu.

"This..." Yu Yi saw that Liu Yan looked at it. First, he didn't say whether Liu Yan knew about those things. When he was stabbed out by sang Yu, he couldn't help saying: "most of the rebels were destroyed, and the family property belonged to the state, but a small part of the land... Was not recorded in the state-owned land register."

Does Liu Yan know about those things? Obviously not without knowledge.

During the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were many aristocratic families in the south. They dominated the trend of the country. They could not control the occupation of land and the annexation of the country at all. They almost returned to the state of Chu during the Warring States period, that is, clan Division and autonomy. As for listening to the instructions and orders of the center, it only depends on individual voluntariness.

No matter at the aristocratic family level or the powerful level, when you want to be settled, you can always think of a way to help, including pulling people into the water. Bribing law enforcers will be a common means.

Liu Yan knew and did not deal with it. The officials who went to deal with it did not soften their hands because they received benefits, nor did they wantonly accept bribes. The bravest thing was to take 1000 mu of land, and the bravest person was Huan Wen.

Why did Huan Wen accept a thousand mu of land? Later, he did not try his best to hide it. Many people actually tacitly understood that they just felt that the credit they had made seemed to be too great. This kind of thing came from pollution.

In fact, it's a shame to say that the first Han Dynasty general of the southern expedition did not accept bribes of tens of thousands of mu. Some small officials with great power even dared to accept bribes of tens of thousands of mu of land. Huanwen only dared to accept 1000 mu if he wanted to pollute himself.

"Deal with it according to the Chinese law."

Liu Yan looked at sang Yu while he was talking, and turned his head away when sang Yu was about to speak. He is getting more and more confused about what sang Yu is going to do. How can he spare no effort to offend all his colleagues?

The fleet has been sailing against the current, and the speed is not very fast. Where it passes, it is escorted by the inland water army of the Yangtze River. People can be seen everywhere on the bank, and many simply follow the fleet all the way on the bank.

When he arrived at Jiangdu, Jiangdu Ling was already welcoming him. Liu Yan did not summon him or even stop for a moment. He let the fleet go directly to Jingkou.

Jingkou is the largest ferry in Yangzhou near the estuary of the Yangtze River. It was originally the main base of naval forces in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed, it no longer has military value. It is also that the original infrastructure was basically damaged by the war. After repair, it was used as civil.

Because someone had come first, the person who should be informed made preparations with all his life. Before Liu Yan's fleet landed, the ships there had long been emptied, and the idle people were also persuaded to leave.

Liu Yan stepped on the land after the accompanying army landed first. He chose this place to land instead of sailing directly to Jiankang for his own reason.
