Sweep the World

Chapter 622: : Footsteps on the south of the Yangtze River

As a king, although Liu Yan often led his army on expeditions, he hasn't really inspected the territory for so many years.

The current years are not the future. The first emperor in China’s history, Ying Zheng, swept the eight wastes and Liuhe frequently, and then the emperors of the early Han Dynasty did not stay in the imperial city all the time, except for those young ascended the throne for not many years. The emperor died before he reached adulthood, that is, when Emperor Xiaoling Liu Hong had never been to Chang'an in his life.

Later, during the period when Cao Wei, Liu Shu, and Sun Wu were standing together, the top rulers of the three parties would patrol the place from time to time, even when the Sima family usurped the throne and once again unified the Central Plains, they kept the habit of patrolling the place.

In every powerful dynasty, the emperor was definitely not born in the palace and died in the palace, but more or less the act of visiting fortunate places. Only when the last emperor of each dynasty was born in Miyagi and died in Miyagi, he didn't step out of Miyagi's scope for a single day.

When emperors of the past were cultivating their own heirs, unless it was a prince who stood up as a target, he would definitely create opportunities for the prince to go out regularly. After all, as long as you are not dizzy, you should know a little bit. If 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 definitely doesn't want his heir to be a caged bird.

In terms of cultivating heirs, it can be said that the emperors of the Han family are the bloodiest. They usually start with the princes of the clan. Several generations of heirs to the throne of the first Han have examples of killing relatives, and the worst will also be designed to kill. Some honorable ones. The heir to the throne waiting for the Han family no longer attacked relatives or honors, but exploited the people of the Li people as much as possible. In fact, the Han family has also become weak.

Since the small imperial court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed, Huan Wen killed him in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly three years, and the necessary population migration did not fall. After the South was brought under the rule of Han, there was only a **** and wailing. Liu Yan did. It is necessary to come over to declare power to show his kindness.

Clean up the decaying family...Well, in fact, it is to kill those stubborn guys. On the one hand, it is to stabilize the needs, and more is to eliminate more original vested interests, so that emerging interest groups can support and Add it in, all dynasties and dynasties have come here in this way.

The Han army’s expansion was too rapid, and many places were completely vast and sparsely populated. Liu Yan’s Longxing land, Qingzhou, was constantly migrating, so why wouldn’t it be densely populated to the south of the Yangtze River? Where to divert?

The population migration south of the Yangtze River was generally smooth. It was based on the deterrence of the destruction of many aristocratic families. Then there was a considerable number of people who belonged to hidden slaves, and the people who had no land. 【】

"About 50% of the population who migrated from the south were destined for the land of Bashu." Cai You, the history of Zhisu, presided over the division and resettlement of the migrant population. He said with a smile: "Bashu also belongs to the southern climate, and there will not be too many. The phenomenon of non-conformity with water and soil. Because it is a waterway, there is not much food consumption on the road, and there has been no large-scale attrition of disease."

The total number of Han people who migrated from the south of the Yangtze River is as many as 2.3 million. Among them, Jiankang was moved out of 600,000 people, and most of the rest were the population of Yangzhou.

Bashu has a small population since ancient times, and even fewer of them belonged to the Han family. First, a large number of them were consumed when the three countries were joined together. The population waiting for the Sima family to re-dominate the Han family did not increase much.

Later, Li Xiong, a Di tribe, established political power in Bashu. A lot of Di, Qiang, and Zhuhu people swarmed in. The local Ba people had a much better life, and a group of Nanbans from the southwest mountainous area also came out. The result was that the Han family came out. There is less living space for the Miao. It was not until the death of Li's Cheng Han to conduct population statistics, the huge Liangzhou and Yizhou Han descents were less than 200,000.

The Han army carried out conquests and suppressions in Bashu for a long time. As there were not many Han descent in Bashu, the local families that were liquidated were rarely implicated. Brings for non-Han ethnicity.

"If you don't care about learning a few words from the Han family and say you are those guys who are Han people, Bashu has basically no foreign race now." Xu Zheng is actually very dissatisfied with the ambiguity of the ethnic policy, but he also knows that it is necessary to achieve the official position of the lieutenant. State policy: "A considerable part of the Di, Qiang, and Ba people have retreated to the mountainous areas of Nanban, and the local garrison is driving them in the direction of Maergan."

The so-called horse dare is the plateau. Those alien races driven out of Bashu, some of them are migrating hard to the plateau. It seems that they have also started fighting with the savages above. Many people died and were forced to follow Lancang. The water fled south, part of which was to cross the Zhoushui and into the deep mountains and old forests.

Whether it is Lancangshui or Zhoushui, it is actually the modern Yun-1 South. There is a large mountain range to the west of Zhoushui. Now it does not have an official name. Hyundai is called Gao 1 Li 1 Gong 1 Mountain.

The location of Lan Cangshui was named Ailao in the Western Han Dynasty, and the lower reaches of it is actually the Mekong River area, which is considered to be the boundary of Laos. But now there is no such a country as Laos. There are quite a lot of Lao tribes. During the Eastern Han Dynasty there were many ethnic groups, the largest being Lao, Thai and Khmer.

The lower reaches of the Lancang River did not belong to the original Li family Chenghan, but Ningzhou, which originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Ningzhou’s jurisdiction is very large, and together it is the land of the three southwestern prefectures in the pre-Qin Dynasty, but because of the lack of attention, there are basically not many governance institutions, and the residents are also pitiful.

Those aliens who fled in embarrassment were first caught and killed by the Han army, and then driven down from the plateau by savage savages. The killings forced the Lao people to seek refuge from the Thai people in the north.

"The county magistrate in Nanfu has a central reporting center. Several tribes of the Oo ethnic group sent people to the court in the past, and they also brought the canonized credential that the Xian Han had given." There really shouldn't be too many canonized vassals, there are no fewer than thirty in the southwest alone. He almost twitched his face, and said dumbly: "The biggest official among the several canonized books is the county magistrate..."

Liu Yan’s understanding is that the Eastern Han dynasty in the southwest was a ghetto area, that is, to include those places in the Chinese cultural circle, and to give the local indigenous people a random official position, so that future generations can shout when they want those lands. "Since ancient times" This is our sacred and inalienable part" and so on. As for whether future generations have the ability to take down the land, it is beyond the control.

In the Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties, the jimi district was not popular. The strong guys always had to seize them if they liked them. Only if they felt that they were of little value, and it was a pity to leave them aside, they would give them to the natives who were not even the county magistrate. The little official who arrived.

The real prevalence of the Jimi area was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Li and Tang were the most popular ones. Only when historians said that the territory of Li and Tang looked quite large, but it was those inherent places that were really controlled by the center. The so-called inherent land was the largest territory in the Western Han Dynasty. Historically, the territory controlled by Yang Sui and Zhu Ming surpassed the Western Han Dynasty, but Li Tang did not.

The trivial matter of the Lao people asking for help, Liu Yan didn't bother to bother at all. What he had to know was the status quo of the group of people who migrated from the south of the Yangtze River to the land of Bashu.

"Generally speaking, it is fairly stable." Cai You explained to Liu Yan in detail. Generally speaking, those who migrated in the past did not have their own land. Although they still don't have their own land, they produce output. Can leave more than before. He later said: "Now that more children can get land rewards, it can be regarded as giving them hope."

The birth reward land is a national policy that was officially determined by Han country only a few years ago, in order to encourage more births to increase the country's population. There are not many subsidiary policies. In addition to the necessary national economic and food assistance, it is the continuation of the national policy of the Central Plains dynasties, that is, men must be married at ages, and women must marry at ages, or there will be any punishments. Class of legal constraints.

Most of the land in the Han Kingdom is owned by the state, and there are only those families that have legal land deeds, except for those who have a large amount of land that have been rewarded for their merits. At the same time, the illegality of Tian Qihe is based on the fact that Han Guocheng does not recognize it. In fact, the cause is that those families will not be recognized unless they play for Liu Yan early.

As the fleet sailed into the Yangtze River waterway, Liu Yan could already see the crowds on both sides of the bank after a certain distance, and couldn't help asking: "How many people are there in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Yangzhou still has close to 1.3 million, which is about 4 million in total with the rest of the states." Cai You specifically explained that some of the people who migrated from Yangzhou were still resettled to the south of the Yangtze River, just to those sparsely populated states. County: "After the field investigation, Guang 1 Prefecture and Jingzhou are both suitable for reclamation and production of grain, but it will take years to open up wasteland."

Guang 1 prefecture is the modern Guang 1 East and Guang 1 West, 1 Zhuang, 1 ethnic group, 1 self-government and 1 district. To say that it is easy to reclaim, it is in the area of ​​Guang 1 East.

Jingzhou is the modern southern part of Hunan. It can be said that the difficulty of reclamation is not as difficult as that of Guang1dong. If you don’t care about the ecology, setting fire to the forest and the wilderness will be a very fast method. After dealing with the roots, it’s just that. A fertile field will definitely not live up to its reputation as a land of fish and rice.

Liu Yan is very aware of the places in the south that are suitable as grain-producing areas. What impressed him the most was that during the Qing Dynasty, Hunan alone supplied more than half of the country's grain. So no matter how long the development takes shape, it shouldn't be so wasteful.

"The richest place south of the Yangtze River is in Yangzhou, where the handicraft industry is very developed, and there are fertile fields everywhere." When Sang Yu said this sentence, he seemed a little overcast. With search authority, you should be aware of some things in Yangzhou, right?"

Didn't Han State carry out some reforms? The biggest reform is some law enforcement and supervision. Such as the sentencing and trial of the master of the Imperial Palace, the power of search, arrest, and detention, and the duty of supervision by the Dali Temple.

Originally, Yu Yi was still watching the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the strait with a complicated mood. It seemed that the borders had changed from time to time. When Sangyu came here suddenly, he began to understand why more and more colleagues did not wait to see Sangyu.

"This..." Yu Yi saw Liu Yan look over, let alone whether Liu Yan knew about those things, and when Sang Yu stabbed him out, he had to say: "Most rebellions are destroyed, and the property belongs to the state, but there is a small part of it. The land... has not been recorded in the state-owned fields."

Does Liu Yan know those things? Obviously it is not ignorant.

During the period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were many families in the south. They were leading the direction of the country, and they could not control land occupation and annexation of the country. They almost returned to the state of Chu during the Warring States period, that is, the division of clans and autonomy. The instructions and orders of the center only depend on the individual's volition.

Regardless of the family level or the powerful level, you can always come up with means to save yourself when you are going to be settled, including pulling people into the water, bribing law enforcement officers will be a common method.

Liu Yan knew about it and didn’t proceed. The officials who went to deal with it did not hesitate because of the benefits, and did not accept bribes arbitrarily. The most courageous person is Huan Wen.

Why did Huan Wen take over a thousand acres of land and did not try to conceal it afterwards. Many people actually tacitly believed that the credit he had made seemed a little too great and used this kind of thing to smear it.

It’s really shameful to say it. The dignified General Zhengnan of the Han Dynasty did not accept bribes for less than tens of thousands of acres. Some powerful officials even dared to accept bribes of tens of thousands of acres of land. Collect one thousand acres.

"Follow the Han law."

Liu Yan glanced at Sang Yu a few times while speaking, 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 be so aggressive to offend all his colleagues?

The fleet has been sailing against the current, and its speed is not very fast. The place it passes is guarded by naval forces along the Yangtze River. People can be seen everywhere on the shore, and many of them are simply chasing the fleet on the shore.

When he arrived at the edge of Jiangdu, Jiang Duling had already welcomed him. Liu Yan did not call in, and he did not even stop for a moment. He asked the fleet to go directly to Jingkou.

Jingkou is Yangzhou’s largest ferry near the mouth of the Yangtze River. It was originally the main base of the Eastern Jin Dynasty navy. After the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed, it no longer had military value. The original infrastructure was basically destroyed by the war. Civil.

Because someone had already arrived first, the person who should have been notified was desperate to prepare. Before the fleet where Liu Yan was in docked, the ships there had been emptied long ago, and the idlers were also persuaded to leave.

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