Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 195: Repair government

Liu Ye is too young, but he can fight too much. Just like Huo Piqi in the Wudi Dynasty, although the credit is not as significant as Huo Qubing, he has repeatedly won the two battles of the Yellow Turban and the Northwest. .

Liu Ye has just been promoted to Tianshui County's governor, and it would be too fast to move up. You can't let him go to be the governor of Liangzhou, right?

As a governor in a weak crown? Gan Luo was the only one who worshipped at the age of twelve.

However, He Jin's proposal touched the Emperor Ling. For no other reason, couldn't Liu Ye be good at fighting? In this case, he should improve his military position. He can fight anyway.

Moreover, Liu Ye is still a descendant of a great ancestor, and it can be found from the royal family tree that although his ancestors have fallen, the blood of the great ancestor must be flowing in his body.

Although nepotism is not good, most people tend to prefer their relatives when choosing important positions, just like the relatives of the chairman of the board who manage finances in a company.

Ever since, Lingdili rejected the crowd and appointed Liu Ye as Anxi Zhonglang.

Liu Ye became a rising star of the Han Dynasty military.

But now Liu Ye has no time for him to take care of him, because he is dealing with another matter, which is a bit tricky.

"Nan Rong, how many residents have poured into Tianshui now?"

Liu Ye stared at the map in front of him and said to Fu Xie.

Fu Xie was holding a scroll of bamboo slips, on which was the number of people recorded by the county officials.

"As of yesterday, there have been more than 5,000 immigrants from several other counties in Liangzhou, close to 20,000."

"How is the resettlement done?"

"The county guard, please rest assured, a certain man has been arranged to count the number of people, but the refugees have built a long shack."

Liu Ye nodded worriedly. The migration of the people is a major event, but if it is not handled well, it is likely to become a disaster. If these people who migrated in are not properly resettled, they will turn into mobs or even rebels. But you have to be overwhelmed.

After the Qiang rebellion, the two prefectures of Yong and Liang were miserable. The counties and counties suffered from it and held fast to the city. However, the Qiang Huqi divided his troops and plundered the fields.

However, Liu Ye guarded Tianshui, and his reputation spread far and wide, and the Qiangs did not dare to bother--because Tianshui was located behind Liangzhou and was very close to the Han army camp, the Qiangs did not attack.

Of course, civilians who have suffered from the chaos of the war can't just sit back and die, and they drag their families away to Tianshui.

Liu Ye made a decisive decision: "Organize the county officials to register the migrants and distribute the fields."

If Liu Ye was the county guard in Hebei or Central Plains, he would probably be at a loss for so many people, because the land annexation in the Han Dynasty was actually quite serious. There were many big landlords and great clans who owned thousands of fertile fields. , Still thinking of ways to buy land, some farmers were forced to go bankrupt.

In the northwest, the land area is vast, and there are uncultivated land everywhere. With a little development, there are 10,000 mu of fertile land. You must know that in the Northwest of the Han Dynasty, the natural environment was far worse than it is now, with fertile land and wide rivers. At that time, there were many large lakes and Daze in northern China, and the emperor chose these places for hunting.

The most important point is that the power of the rich and powerful in the Northwest is not as deeply entrenched as the Central Plains. At best, they can be called the powerful rather than the gentry. Although they have their own private armed forces, it is basically impossible to confront the court officials.

After discussing for a while, Liu Ye and Fu Xie worked out the following strategy.

First, allocate grain and grass from the treasury of the county guards to help the refugees to survive, and send the county officials to register specifically, register tens of thousands of people, and completely transform them into the population of Tianshui County.

The second is to organize the people to open up wasteland. As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, it is impossible for people not to eat. As for the army lacking food and grass, it will inevitably follow Zhou Shen's mistakes, so we must vigorously open up wasteland.

Fu Xie is a professional and he is good at handling government affairs. Therefore, Liu Ye did not interfere more. He merely pointed out the general direction. After that, he handed everything over to Fu Xie and his many peasant officials and government officials. Officials wait.

The county officials set off immediately, and there were several long queues in the refugee camp. Even the registered officials who worked overtime were too busy. Fu Xie had no choice, and even borrowed all the subordinate officials from the soldiers and Cao. As long as the subordinate officials who were literate in the county and had nothing to do, they were basically arrested by him.

Liu Ye sent Guan Hai to lead five hundred soldiers, on the one hand to deter the chaos, and on the other to maintain order.

More than a dozen members of the staff worked hard to register for three days, and finally registered all these refugees.

Moreover, Tianshui County still has a steady stream of refugees, and Liu Ye's busy year has not had time. He is either caring about farming or training military horses.

Fu Xie finally explained to him that there were more than 9,000 refugees in Tianshui County, a total of 32,000 people, plus the former aborigines, today Tianshui County has a total of more than 40,000 households with a population of 16 Million.

Fortunately, the war in the Northwest is urgent and no one can manage it. Otherwise, Liu Ye will definitely be criticized for such a large-scale mass migration. But now that he has just won the battle, no one will impeach him because of this kind of thing. It is estimated that even if it is said, the Emperor Ling will not be able to criticize him.

what's happenin? Your other counties could not stabilize the people, and the people moved to Tianshui. Is it wrong for Liu Ye to protect them?

And this is not only Liu Ye's responsibility as the county guard and stable people, but also very good for the future.

Zhuge Liangtian is a wizard, why didn't he succeed in seven out of Qishan, and finally his soul returned to Wuzhangyuan? The reason is simple. The national strength is not enough. When the Shu Han fell, the registered population was only 900,000, while the population of Wei was more than 2 million, which was close to three times the gap. Therefore, the number of soldiers in Wei far exceeded that of Shu.

Especially in this ancient time when there were no machines and the productivity was backward, the size of the population represented the size of the productivity. The larger the population, the more prosperous the economy.

Therefore, Liu Ye must collect the population regardless of the cost, because population = soldiers = grain output, especially in the northwest, where the situation is different from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, people have no land to cultivate, and Tianshui County has land and no one.

Fu Xie specially drafted the Anmin notice: For those who reclaim wasteland, the tax will be halved in the first two years, and the land will be privately owned after the third year.

As soon as this order was issued, the whole county of Tianshui started an upsurge of reclamation. Some people could not help but open up nearly a hundred acres in one go. Even the powerful and powerful clans sent tenant tenants to reclamation fields. Fu Xie reported to Liu Ye in time. And proposed new countermeasures.
