Sweep the World

"The ice and snow in Binzhou has melted, right?"

"My lord, yes."

Liu Yan is full of a plank road built on the edge of a cliff. There are many similar corridors in the Xiangguo Palace group. In terms of current industrial strength, I don't know how many people entered Shihu when it was built.

Sizhou has fully entered the appearance it should have in spring. The melting of snow and ice in winter brings enough water to the plants. It is only less than half a month. The earth has regained a green color, and the cat has been there for a winter. Various animals have also become active.

"The prefectures have begun to restore agriculture, and Yangzhou is the first to sow." Ji Chang followed Liu Yan half of his body, because it hadn't been long before the next dynasty, he was still in court clothes: "Although the people returned to our rule not long ago, there are Relevant incentive policies have made them very enthusiastic about production, and Yangzhou should have a good harvest in autumn."

Liu Yan loves to listen to this. Only when the people feel that there is hope, will production be stable. With output, the society will be stable. Once the society is stable, the population growth rate will increase.

The current territory of the Han Kingdom should be slightly larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, but its population is less than 15 million. Strictly speaking, it is absolutely vast and sparsely populated.

The Chinese people have some habits that don’t know whether it’s good or bad. They like to gather together and don’t like to open up new habitats. The result is that the longer the place is developed, the more the population will be. Some of them can be easily developed. A place to live comfortably has no one for a long time.

Liu Yan took over this phenomenon. The country has a small population, but the population is relatively crowded, and there are too many places in a state of desolation.

In order to encourage the private sector to develop more land, the Prime Minister's Office came up with a set of strategies after research and made some modifications on the basis of the original lease.

The Taiwei Department also put forward relevant policies, when approving military merits, how much land should be rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and prioritize the areas that the country wants to develop.

In order to reduce the complaints of officers and soldiers, with Liu Yan's permission, the Taiwei Department will increase the original reward by a little bit. The biggest increase is to increase the land by 30%.

Because of the relationship that most of the land is owned by the state, it is not possible to obtain private land to eliminate the army in Han. Liu Yan still prefers that the land to be awarded to soldiers is located in the border area. Those soldiers are all people killed by the dead mountain and blood. They have enough pioneering spirit, and they are more able to protect themselves against wild beasts or other threats. Furthermore, they constitute the main population of the border will also make the national border more solid. .

Of course, it's like that, but it seems extremely unfair. For example, some people work hard to get those things, and some people get those things if they don't do some personnel work. Can this be called fair?

What is now emphasized is that the gentleman of Tian Xing Jian is constantly striving to be self-improving, and he should get more and less rewards for as many things as he does, and he deserves to be starved to death if he doesn't do anything.

Under the land policy of the Han Kingdom, the land for rewarding meritorious soldiers was increased due to regional problems. Although some rules were broken, everyone, including Liu Yan, felt that it was justified.

Perhaps the shackles were broken, and the prime minister's mansion had a new idea. It was for this reason that Ji Chang asked to see Liu Yan after the dynasty meeting was over.

"The families went south to explore, how much land (colonies) they opened up to have the right to reap the years, so they were enthusiastic about pioneering." Ji Chang repeatedly pondered the sentence, he could not see from the back of Liu Yan's head, he paused for a while before continuing. Said: "Can other regions also open up development rights?"

The agreement between Liu Yan and each family is that they will go to the Southwest Peninsula to explore, and after occupying the next place, they can have the power of income for up to 20 years, that is, the local resources will belong to the occupied family within 20 years, and the country will only have those Taxation rights for resource transactions.

What resources each family discovers can choose to develop independently or in partnership with the private sector, or they can choose to sell to the country. Resources include but are not limited to gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron ore, wood, and various luxury goods, but it is divided into what resources have the ownership of how many years, such as various gems and gold, silver, and copper. In just five years, the state must possess 70% of the iron once discovered.

There are many open-up treaties, and the more it relates to strategy, the greater the resource limit. On the contrary, the resources on some wealth will be looser.

"The rest of the area?" Liu Yan stopped and turned to look at Ji Chang. He couldn't see the anger and asked, "Which area?"

"The current population concentration in Dahan is Qingzhou, Sizhou, and Yangzhou. The situation in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou is slightly better. Yongzhou, Qinzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Jiangzhou are sparsely populated, and even in the future. The restored Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhi and other places may not have many populations." Ji Chang smiled bitterly, and said: "The territory is large and there is no development, no development and no output. If you want to have output, you need a population. The minister thought for a long time, Yizhou There are not many Han descent from Liangzhou, and they are all barbarians and barbarians. The official migration population is not desirable, or the land can be used to lure private migration to fill the population for production."

Yizhou and Liangzhou are the later Yunnan-Guizhou regions of Sichuan, where the terrain is mountainous and the traffic is extremely inconvenient.

The land of Shu is fairly good. Since the Qin Kingdom destroyed the ancient Shu and Cuban countries, there have been migrants to the local people, but to be honest, there are still too few people compared with the people who originally lived there.

Because of the inconvenience of transportation, the mountains and jungles are more complicated than Shu. From the Qin Empire to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the governance method of appointing local chiefs as officials has been adopted. In fact, there are not many Han people in Badi.

"Shu has its own Qin generation overhauling water conservancy, and the surrounding plains of Chengdu is a rare piece of grain-producing land in Shu. The Li family of Di has ruled for 46 years. Although there is no repair and maintenance, the local ecology is It hasn’t been damaged, and it can be farmed with a little sorting.” Ji Chang must have done a special investigation. Seeing Liu Yan raised his brow, he went on to say: “The Han Dynasty was destroyed and belonged to the nobles and nobles of the country. The land of the headman was taken into the state, and the people who held the land accounted for less than 20%. Now the land belonging to the state...is in a state of desertion."

Liu Yan seems to understand. The territory of Han is getting bigger and bigger, and the population is correspondingly more and more, but the output is a bit unable to keep up with the consumption. The prime minister's mansion is definitely forced to be urgent, and the urgent will change. To be open source.

"The big man never stopped fighting diplomatic affairs. The annual expenditure of military rations was calculated as tens of millions of stone rations. It was only three years in Yuanshuo, and the previous reserves were almost exhausted..." Ji Chang began to sweat on his forehead, and said with a little difficulty: "The ministers and subordinates The staff has done a rigorous total. There is still a Southwest raid to support the battle of Shijie, but the amount of plunder is full of variables. In the future, there will be expenses for the battle to destroy Shijie, and it is also necessary to fight Murong Xianbei. Reserve military rations, and even go deep into the grasslands and fight westward. If we don’t want to produce, I’m afraid..."

In fact, Liu Yan does not necessarily insist that most of the land belongs to the state. On the contrary, he still hopes that the land can be in the hands of the people. The problem is that not only the official land is not acceptable to Juntian, but the people are actually hesitant. The Qin Empire did a similar treatment of land during the Shangyang Reform, and the land treatment of the Shangyang Reform was a bit shocking to the people.

The land equalization in the Shang Yang reform was to first establish private ownership of land and allow the free sale and purchase of land, but it changed the method to forcibly buy land from the nobility and those who hold a large amount of land, and then sell it or lease it to the common people. In fact, the difference between people having their own land and not having their own land is not too big. Most of the output of hard work every season is attributed to the country. It is just that the annual rations can be left, and the country will give back to the title, and the promotion of the title can be obtained. The rise in social status and the increase in land holdings mean that most of the people’s work output contributes to the country. In fact, there is not much wealth and food storage.

The country's output cannot make ends meet, especially since there are still so many wars to be fought in the future. Those wars are still indispensable. It is conceivable that Ji Chang's burden will be heavy.

The prime minister’s office is not only responsible for the rations needed for war, they also have to consider civilian food consumption and necessary reserves. After all, if a country does not have enough food reserves and there are no natural and man-made disasters, it can’t stand it. If something happens again. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are extremely bad.

Speaking of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Han National Center has been convinced that there will be natural disasters in the next few years. It is judged from the abnormal weather, but I don't know when natural disasters will occur, so we must pay close attention to the food reserves, or it will be too late to wait for the natural disasters to actually arrive.

Liu Yan knew the exact time when the natural disasters occurred, which was the drought and locust plague in the Central Plains that followed the demise of Ran Wei in history. After all, it was five years later. This made him feel a sense of urgency and wanted to solve at least Shi Jie Zhao Guo and Murong Yan Guo weak before the natural disaster, or wait for a large-scale disaster in the Central Plains, the Han army is unable to start a war. It's not impossible to be pushed back.

"The prime minister, what the national conditions are, the Qing should know better than the widows." Liu Yan is not opposed to the thinking of the prime minister's mansion. As long as the method is correct, open source is right in any era. He said seriously: "I want to know what solution the prime minister has."

This is what Ji Chang worries about. After the pre-Qin period, the general public is mostly afraid of goodwill from the country.

That's not a joke, after all, everyone wants land, but people nowadays think that if they want land, they must have corresponding contributions, such as using military service to get rewards, or using money to buy. If anyone wants to give someone land for no reason, that person's doubts and surprises may be more than surprises.

"This..." Ji Chang can come up with too many plans. He is afraid that some plans will produce fierce opposition, and even some plans will have troubles: "As long as the minister thinks, can preferential lease?"

Liu Yan showed a disappointed expression. The state leased land to the people, and it was not that he could do it without reason.

At present, many counties and counties in Han country rent out a lot of land, so since it is rented, what the people want is to live around the habitat, according to the urine characteristics, even if it is a certain area, they will not go.

Ji Chang swallowed when he saw Liu Yan's expression. He didn't know that it was all rent, and the people would not give up near and far, but land could not be given away for no reason. He is deeply soiled and cannot be given away for nothing, otherwise not only the people will be confused, but the army will not be able to explain it.

The land can be used for nothing, what value is there for soldiers to work hard to earn military merit! ?

The mountain breeze was a bit strong, and the two went out of the plank road to a Zhangtai, looking at the city under the mountain.

The country of Xiang that arrived in the spring did not become so lively, and the country of Han did not have a full population of migration, resulting in a city with more soldiers than ordinary people.

At present, there are not many people wandering around in Xiangguo City. As there are no entertainment venues and shops, Baiguan’s family members tend to stay at home and usually go out to the countryside to play.

"My lord, there should be a new atmosphere for the founding of the country. For the future of the country, perhaps there should be some new policies." Ji Chang was only in his forties, and his overwork made his temples gray. He said in a deep tone: "Population growth needs With regard to food, the people would consider having more births only if they had surplus food. The ministers left and right thought, is it considered meritorious to increase the population of the country? If it is meritorious, can the land be rewarded?"

Liu Yan was shocked. He clearly remembered that he hadn't mentioned any relevant ideas, so it was Ji Chang...or after thinking and thinking about it, the officials came up with a set of plausible past plans.

Giving children to land is at least an unprecedented example. It was not until the Sui and Tang Dynasties that similar policies were adopted. The most popular was the Nazi Third Reich during World War II.

Many times, the Central Plains dynasty was afraid of the country’s large population. Only in the early days after the founding of the country would it aspire to have more population~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Those dynasties who were afraid of a large population were worried about not having a large population. There is enough land for the people to produce, but I didn’t even think about it... or I was unable to lay down territories outside. As a result, the population was overpopulated and the wealth (land) was unevenly brewing the next dynasty change.

Han...at least in the period of Liu Yan, Han was destined to be a pioneering and offensive country. What I am afraid of is that there is not enough population to fill the land, and I will not be afraid of not having enough land!

"Tai'an's move won my heart." Liu Yan is hard to express excitement: "The big Han will be determined to forge ahead because of the national policy. The place where the feet can be trampled is the hometown of the Han people!"

Ji Chang just wanted to change the way to transfer the land to more people. The rest did not think deeply, but looked at Liu Yan, who was so excited that he couldn't do it, but was a little at a loss.

"Before the increase in Dingkou's reward for the land is confirmed, Tai'an has to formulate a set of sanitation measures..." Liu Yan said that the current sanitary conditions are too poor. There is not much difference between a woman giving birth and going through a ghost gate: "Don't let it go. Good things turn into bad things."

Ji Chang was still in a daze, only nodding ignorantly.
