Sweep the World

Ran Min had never concealed his request, and he wanted to obtain the king's title. Ran had already put forward his request before the Qin State was merged into the Han State. He is a straight-tempered person...at least when facing Liu Yan, he was a straight-tempered person. He once expressed his demands to Liu Yan himself, and Liu Yan's answer was "I don't want to deny it, but lacks merit."

Yes, Liu Yan's statement is that Han will not prohibit the existence of kings of different surnames, and the clear attitude is that anyone who has enough credit can be crowned king.

It's hard to tell what other people think, but Ran Min believed Liu Yan's promise. He has been on the road to becoming a king.

It is not a secret that Liu Yan obtained the Yuxi seal in Han. On the contrary, it is because of propaganda that the whole country is known. Everyone is guessing when Liu Yan will become the emperor. Ran Min only asks questions directly in front of Liu Yan.

Liu Yan knew that all his officials wanted to proclaim the emperor earlier. It was a very normal mood. Once he proclaimed himself emperor, his subordinates would naturally rise with the tide. What's more important is that there is the rank of prince in the title.

It’s like a bad soldier who doesn’t want to be a general. After Liu Yan made it clear, Ran Min is not the only one who wants to be crowned king in Han, but anyone who thinks he is capable thinks that one day he can become one. King.

"Call the emperor..." Liu Yan smiled and said to Ran Min, who was eagerly looking forward to it, "The old land of the Han family has not yet been restored, and it is too early to say that it is emperor."

The current territory of Han is only about four-tenths of the original Han family. The Central Plains area alone has not been completely recovered, such as Bingzhou. In addition, Shuozhou occupied by Shijie Zhao Kingdom, Youzhou occupied by Murong Yan Kingdom, Liangzhou under Zhang’s Liang Kingdom, those areas controlled by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the four prefectures of the Western Han Dynasty that were invaded by Goguryeo and Baekje. All belong to the territory that must be reclaimed.

For Liu Yan, there is not much attraction to being an emperor. His greatest ambition is to build a global village, and he will steadfastly move in this direction during his lifetime. Therefore, taking back the old land of the Han family is only a prelude to laying a foundation for his own ambitions. It does not mean that the complete restoration of the old land of the Han family is equivalent to accomplishing the ultimate goal of life.

Ran Min suddenly showed a disappointed expression, and then his face became firm again. For him, he can earn credit. The most important thing is that Liu Yan does not resist the king, as long as he does not resist, one day he will reach his goal.

The core ministers of the center behind were summoned, and after each settling down, Lang Xunxian, Liu Yan's secretary, told about the recent developments of Han.

There is a lot of news gathered from all directions to the center every day. There are battles on various fronts, and the livelihoods of various states and counties.

The people’s livelihood in Han has been slowly recovering. It is a kind of social recovery that has been re-established in order. There is a stable living environment. It is no better than worrying about losing your life every moment, without too much urging and driving away from the government. The people naturally have to work for that mouth.

"The purpose of the hunting order is to allow more people to own their own private land, but the goal is not as expected." Sangyu's prime minister's authority is more devoted to civil affairs. Important counties and counties must be visited: "The people in the north have more private land than the people in the south. This is because there are not many Hu people in the south who can hunt, and the minister thinks that if conscription is in the future, they should be favored to the people in the south."

The Han State recruited soldiers, and each soldier received five acres of land when registering.

In fact, five acres of land cannot feed too many people for the current productivity and output. One acre of land can be harvested at two to three stones. According to the conversion, one stone is one hundred and sixty catties, and now there is only one harvest season a year, and it is necessary to ensure that the weather is smooth, and if there is a natural disaster, it will be finished. One person takes two or two meals per meal, and only eats two meals a day. The amount of food consumed in a month is about 120 catties. If a family has only one person, it will naturally be enough to eat if the tax is paid, but it is impossible for a family. only one person.

In fact, because of the lack of meat and oil, it is very common for people to eat one or two catties per meal.

According to reasonable resettlement, it is reasonable to have 50 acres of land under each person's name, and a family owns at least 200 acres of land to reach the standard of wealth. This is also a value that the labor force can handle. Later Yang Sui and Li Tang are dedicated to meeting this requirement.

The establishment of the Han State to start with five acres is to take into account a practical problem.

Because of the Hu people's raging for decades, fertile fields have long been turned into wasteland, and the wasteland needs to be reclaimed. Under the premise of fully using manpower, reclaiming the land is not an easy task. A young man has been busy for at least two or three months to turn a scene of barren land into good land again. Five mu of land probably needs to be busy for a whole year.

In the early stage of the Han Dynasty, there was an extreme lack of manpower. In addition to resuming production, too many fronts occupied most of the young and strong, and the workers were basically women, the elderly and the young. The old and weak women and children cannot be compared with the young and strong. A young and strong can achieve results after busying for two or three months. It may take twice as long as the old and weak women and children to do it.

"The Great Han is constantly restoring the old land, the amount of state-owned land is increasing, and the registered population has reached 9.7 million." Sang Yu said that the population data is not the real data of the Han territory. He said that those were only for paving, and then the real purpose was stated: "The amount of land redeemed by the government from the tyrants is huge, and the land held by the private sector accounts for less than 20% of the arable land."

Like the population data, Sang Yu’s land distribution is actually not accurate, and the private land holdings in the speculation include family, wealthy and common people.

How long was Han Guo just established? The country has always been in a state of war, and the expansion of the country's territory has only accelerated since Yuanshuo three years ago. It is impossible to figure out the situation of the country in a short period of time, and then calculate and record it into data that can be intuitively judged.

At present, only Qingzhou has credible data on population and field records, and the progress of Yanzhou can be considered as preliminary data. For example, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, Bashu and other places were merged into Han territory only three years after Yuanshuo. Scope, with the current administrative efficiency, it is impossible to count and record it so quickly.

Although there are problems with the data, what Sang Yu said should not be ignored. The Han state-owned non-governmental cooperative communes and the army garrison land, but it is indeed very abnormal that the state holds about eight tenths of the total land. It is time to think of a way to improve this unusual land holding phenomenon.

"Mountains and rivers are broken, and the majority of people's homes are broken and dead." Sang Yu is still making his own speech: "Among the registered people, most are single families, and most young people have private fields."

"Yes, there are raging gangsters, and there have been many waves of fleeing." Ji Chang nodded and told the truth: "It is relatively easy for young people to survive in wars, and it is difficult for the old and the weak, women and children to survive."

In the Han census, the male to female ratio is three to one. The age group is from one year old to eight years old accounting for 7%, from eight to thirteen years old accounting for 6%, and from 13 to 20 years old accounting for 7%. Thirty-four percent, between 20 and 35 years old accounted for 47%, and over 35 years old accounted for 6%.

According to the academic terms of later generations, the current population age group of Han is entering the prime of life. And if the average life expectancy in future generations is used, the prime of life should be the healthiest period in a country, but the current average life expectancy is only 35 years old. In other words, Han's population age distribution is the old age.

If you look at the data and distribute it by state and county, the areas with private fields are concentrated in Qingzhou. This is because Liu Yan's rise from Qingzhou, the recruitment of troops is of course the priority selection from the old base area, which can also be regarded as a benefit given by the region.

More than 40% of the Han army's manpower came from Qingzhou, and the rest is divided equally among the states, because the relationship between the relevant policies is naturally that Qingzhou people have more private fields.

Sang Yu’s suggestion is very reasonable. It is time to consider tilting to other states and counties. Later, he proposed to increase the number of fields appropriately.

"The king wants the people to have their fields. This is the road to stability and prosperity of the country." Sang Yu's rare face was serious, and he stopped for a long time. Seeing surprise or frowning on most people's faces, he did not hesitate again. Said: "Apart from granting land for joining the army and granting land for military merit, can other channels be added so that those who cannot go to battle have channels to obtain private land?"

"It's true that there are a few who can serve as soldiers, but..." Ji Chang looked angry, his gaze turned towards Sang Yu, and said: "How can the national policy be easily shaken!" He only asked what Sang Yu had in mind.

The core of Han's national policy is military meritoriousness. Now Han has not fully recovered the old land of the Han family. The army maintains a strong desire to fight, first because of the heaviest military merit, and secondly, meritorious service can be rewarded by the field.

A country that upholds military merit, the combat effectiveness of the military can best be guaranteed. Once profitable military merits are not received, the morale of a country's military will collapse. Now, there is no exception in China and foreign countries.

For some countries that can obtain private land through military service, a group called samurai (knights) will inevitably appear. They will not participate in production. They are probably synonymous with "swords as ploughs". Through continuous warfare for themselves and for the country to open up Larger and wider living space, not "forging swords for ploughs" Don't want war but peace.

The country of Han is far from pursuing peace. On the contrary, it should remain fanatical about war. Ji Chang will look at Sang Yu angrily. It is Ji Chang who knows that Sang Yu’s motives are not pure, and that his motives are not pure, and he has to shake the national policy. Must kill list.

"Yu is just a suggestion. After all, the land is held..." Sang Yu said halfway through the stage. Facing Liu Yan's stern gaze, he bowed his head, lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"Farming war, farming war!" Liu Yan said with a serious face: "More farming and more productive are also meritorious service. If you have credit, you will get it. It is not only war that can get the land."

Ran Min didn't conceal his schadenfreude at all. He snorted and said: "The king has reserved channels for obtaining land without bloodshed. The prime minister wants some people to hold more land, right?", he In particular, it puts emphasis on'some people'.

"General Zhengbei is in charge of military affairs. We are not talking about military affairs now. Please be cautious!" Ji Chang warned Ran Min and said after a salute to Liu Yan: "The minister thinks that Prime Minister You said that it is feasible to increase decentralized land appropriately, but How much is appropriate still needs to be discussed."

"It's over here this time." Liu Yan waved his hand, and added a sentence afterwards: "Prime Minister Zuo stay, and the rest of you should withdraw."

The people in the tent left with all kinds of faces and thoughts. Liu Yan sat in his place for a long time without speaking, and Ji Changan waited peacefully.

"Taian, the establishment of a country is not easy. It is only in the recovery of several prefectures, and even less than four-tenths of the old land of the Han family, the country has so many civil and military factions." Liu Yan's words made Ji Changhuo look over. He slowly stood up, pinning his hands behind his waist: "Almost every minister has a group under his wings, even Tai'an is no exception?"

"Wang Shang..." Ji Chang made a gesture of pleading, "Wang Shangdong is like watching the fire."

"Widows actually understand that some people have factions." Liu Yan really understands that he can't control it in the dark, so he simply never stops and expresses his stance. With a small smile on his face, he said, "What the widow didn't expect was that it would happen so quickly because of private interests..." Pausing, putting on a disappointed expression: "This person is still a deep son."

"The Prime Minister Right may have selfish motives, but it is okay to consider for the big man." Ji Chang said with a wry smile: "The big man has a strong army and forcibly restrains the family and the powerful. They dare not resist openly and will use secret means. Right. The prime minister managed the civil affairs, what should have been discovered."

What else can it be~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It’s nothing more than the hidden dangers of the Han country, but it is forced to suppress, now there are Shijie and Murong Yanguo...maybe there is also Zhang’s Liangguo, or even The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, many hostile forces brewing counterattack, they must first lead the Han civil unrest before the army actually counterattacked.

"My lord, in the opinion of a minister, now the big man can't be chaotic." Ji Chang said sincerely: "There are too many fronts, and internal chaos, many achievements may be ruined."

However, Liu Yan understood what Ji Chang meant. It was one aspect of not being able to deal with Sang Yu's cause of chaos in the central nervous system, and then facing the choice of comforting or dealing with the family and powerful by iron and blood again.

"The minister thought that in response to the Hu people's counterattack, we should recruit troops again from each state and county." Ji Chang walked to the shelf with the map of the territory of the Han Kingdom, and clicked on several places: "This conscription can be divided into guarding against internal forces. The county soldiers can also be dispatched to the front lines, and they can be further distributed in private fields."

Liu Yan noticed that the places Ji Chang had just ordered were exactly the ones mentioned by Sang Yu.

"Recruitment can be targeted." Ji Chang showed a sullen expression and said: "The powerful family can be fully recruited. If they are effective, it will be enough. If there is a change, some hard fronts need reinforcements."
