sweeping the world

Chapter 631

Tuobaxiu's leaping demeanor was very eye-catching, she only took two steps forward because of inertia when she got on the king's chariot, and then stood up again after squatting a little.After she stood firmly, she did not say a word, but silently saluted Liu Yan, and then walked to Liu Yan's side and stood without saying a word.

"Misters..." Liu Yan knew why Tuobaxiu came here in a hurry, and said to the ministers, "Let's discuss here first."

Cui Zong was already signaling the driver to stop. Once the king's chariot stopped, the drivers behind him would naturally be unable to move. Those in front also had to stop and wait for the king's chariot to start moving again, and the entire team would stop moving forward.

The king's chariot stopped, and a servant lifted his feet to squat, and all the ministers got off the king's chariot as quickly as possible.

"Queen General..." Seeing that something was wrong with Tuobaxiu, Liu Yan didn't want to get into a quarrel: "...and all the concubines, please come here."

Many people have seen the scene of Tuoba Shiyijian being taken away by the Tingwei Department just now. Even if they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they will know it from various channels. Cui Wan brought the other three concubines to the king’s chariot. Wang Nian first saluted Liu Yan, who looked a little embarrassed, and then started chatting around Tuobaxiu.

Liu Yan's embarrassment was not due to what Tuobaxiu said or wasted, on the contrary, it was because Tuobaxiu had been looking at him quietly but didn't speak. This husband was more speechless than crying.

Tuoba Xianbei from the Yandi battlefield ran away. Whether it was related to Tuoba Shiyijian or not, it was necessary to put Tuoba Shiyijian in prison.What followed was some questioning. It was not expected that Tuoba Shi Yijian would say anything, it was just a set of procedures.How Tuoba Shiyijian will be dealt with in the future depends on the potential threat of Tuoba Shiyijian and what benefits Tuoba Shiyijian can bring to Han.

The first empress and the third concubine talked to Tuobaxiu completely as if Liu Yan didn't exist, and Tuobaxiu didn't seem to be in a bad mood, at least she could still laugh.

It is often said that a big man does not care about the small things, including completely ignoring his own women's feelings, and even treating women as clothes that can be changed at any time, so that anyone can ignore them or use them to abandon them, sacrifice them, etc. of.In other words, such a person is a real man?It should be a single husband who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!
The successful people in history are basically those who are thick and ruthless enough, and it is precisely because of their thick and ruthless that they can put their future and interests first.Abandon anything that can be discarded, sacrifice all that can be sacrificed, especially those who are willing to compete, because of this, they can finally achieve greatness.

From the very beginning, Liu Yan didn't think that he was competing for the world, but was doing something more noble, expelling the Tartars and restoring China, because he had never encountered any life-and-death dilemma. Apart from being cruel to foreigners, he could even say that Not a qualified ruler of a country.

Have you ever seen a ruler who is only cruel to foreigners?The rulers in history have never decided what to do by looking at the nation, especially the rulers of the feudal dynasty. Their enemies include all objects that threaten their ruling status, regardless of whether they are aliens or compatriots.

By the way, the rulers of the feudal dynasty did not have the concept of compatriots. They felt that they were sons of God and were not at the same level as the rest of the people.Later feudal rulers regarded themselves as dragons, and they all regarded themselves as dragons, which was not the same species as humans.

Liu Yan is not a qualified ruler because he attaches great importance to the concept of the same race, and he cannot ignore the feelings of the women in his harem.So, even if he had to imprison Tuoba Shiyijian, it was the right thing to imprison Tuoba Shiyijian, but he would not be able to stand crying when facing Tuobaxiu.

The team had already started to move again. The king's chariot was equipped with shock absorbers so that there would not be too much bumps. The new national road was on the road, and there were no potholes on the ground.

The distance from Yecheng to Xiangguo is [-] miles from the plane map, but the actual distance on the plane map is different from the actual walking distance. For example, the road is impossible to be straight.

On the way from Yecheng to Xiangguo, they will pass through Handan. Seeing that the sun has moved to the west, it is impossible for the inspection team to rush on the road overnight, so some leading troops will go to Handan first, and the team will stop in Handan tonight.

Handan was the capital of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. After Qin swept away the eight wastelands and unified the "world", Handan became an ordinary city.After the establishment of the Han Empire, Handan's political status has not been improved. Hundreds of years have passed, and the style and appearance of the former capital has long since disappeared. Go to a dilapidated and small town.

The Central Plains has been ravaged by the Hulu for decades. Hu people only know how to plunder and destroy. Even if it is construction, they rush to the palace without thinking about people's livelihood at all. Not only are the cities destroyed by the war and years It is so bright that it can even be said that the cultivated land valued by the farming people is covered with weeds, and the related irrigation systems are completely abandoned.

When the inspection team arrived in Handan, the sky was completely dark, and there were only scattered lights in Handan at night. After Liu Yan asked specifically, he learned that the entire city of Handan covers only more than 1000 households in the surrounding area.

"This is the middle area between Yecheng and Xiangguo. During the Jie people's rule in the Central Plains, Yecheng and Xiangguo were the habitats of the Hus, and the surrounding areas were used as pastures." Sang Yu pointed to Handan City not far away and said: " The city wall of Handan is no longer in shape, and there were almost no intact houses in the city at that time, and the people who migrated here were arranged to live and repaired."

Handan City was in ruins, and Liu Yan didn't care if there was a beautiful house or not. He was used to living in tents after years of fighting, and the inspection team set up a camp not far to the west of Handan City.

"The Central Plains has indeed been tossed too badly by the Hulu." Cai You used to be a small tyrant in a small place. Dongmou County is on the coast of Qingzhou, but he has been tossed by the Hulu.He said with emotion: "Almost none of the cities is intact, and everywhere is deserted and overgrown with weeds."

After the Hu people entered the Central Plains, the only thing they wanted to do was to turn this piece of land into a pasture. Not to mention the villages and towns in the countryside, those cities with a long history are also a toss. Killing, really turned many places in the Central Plains into deserted places.

Cai You governs millet internal history. It can be said that he has great power but also great responsibility. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been paying attention to the recovery of various places all the time, but many times he feels extremely distressed, including Liu Yan who pays too much attention to war and neglects people's livelihood.

"Sizhou was originally a settlement of Hu people. Hulu fled wantonly before the big man took it back." Cai You mentioned later that the registered population of Sizhou is less than 40, which is not even comparable to the population of Liaodong Peninsula: "This is extremely wasteful and abnormal."

There are 500 counties in Sizhou. Intuitively speaking, the occupied area includes a part of each of Zhao, Han, and Wei during the Warring States Period.This piece of land had at least tens of millions of people in the Warring States Period. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were more than 700 million people. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was nearly 40 million people, but now it is less than [-] people.

Of course, it is not enough to resettle 40 people on the land that used to be able to inhabit so many people. It is not that the Han Kingdom does not want to migrate people from other places. The obstacle lies in the distribution of land.

In the past, who owned how much land, the Han State had unlimited freedom in admitting it or not, and the distribution of land was based on the need for credit, and then it was not allowed to trade land at all.It would be easier to do this, because Liu Yan reused the twentieth-class nobility, and the only way to exchange land for military merit was the only way.

"The collapse of the Qin Empire, apart from the corruption of the upper class, was the main reason why the meritorious officers and soldiers were not rewarded." Xu Zheng seemed to have read a lot, and said righteously: "It is not that the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States did not experience corruption from the upper class. Rewards and punishments for soldiers are fair but still do not lose force. After the first emperor ruled the world, there was not enough land to honor the military exploits of millions of soldiers. The first emperor was naturally free from worries. After the death of the first emperor, the soldiers of Qin State no longer had the will to fight."

No kidding, the first emperor was indeed stingy after proclaiming himself emperor. While centralizing power, the rewards that the army deserved were not fulfilled, and the recruitment of soldiers and corvee was too frequent and excessive.Even if he loses credit, he can rely on his majesty to hold him alive, and the country will collapse after he dies.

The Qin Empire attacked the Xiongnu in the north, stationed troops at the Great Wall as the Great Wall Legion, and sent troops to the southern border, and there was also the Southern Border Legion. Later, facing the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, various places fell one after another. Prisoners were needed to send troops to defend.

Zhang Han's prisoner army was defeated and surrendered. There were still millions of people in Guanzhong at that time. No matter how they gathered together, they could gather a large army. Still no problem.The problem is that the Qin people who had been released as doves no longer worked hard for Zhao's surname, and no one stood up to resist even if the invaders entered Guanzhong.

To what extent is the Zhao family who has lost credit, the surname Ying, destitute?The three chapters of Liu Bang's agreement are actually an example written as a winner. In fact, the Qin people at that time didn't care who was the ruler at all. Even if Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he was welcomed by the Qin people.

After Xiang Yu entered the Guanzhong, he was so cruel and cruel that Qin was stunned.Later, Xiang Yu snatched what should be robbed, and burned what should be burned. He patted his butt and went back to Kanto, divided Guanzhong into three, and enfeoffed Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi as princes and kings.

Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi belonged to the generation who betrayed the Qin people and surrendered, but they were still accepted even if they treated the Qin people a little better.

Waiting for Liu Bang to go out of Guanzhong, he defeated Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi successively, and then shouted to lead the Qin people to find Xiang Yu for revenge.The result is good, the people of Qin joined the army enthusiastically, even if Liu Bang was defeated in a row, he always followed him, even if the father died, the son went to the army, and the son died, and the father made up for it.

Look at who Xiang Yu was defeated in the back, not to mention that Han Xin who was in charge of the command was from Qi, and Wang Yi, Yang Wu, Lu Sheng, Yang Xi, and Lu Matong who participated in the dismemberment of Xiang Yu were not from Qin ?
"Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future. Don't be like Qin Guo, no one is willing to serve in the battlefield." Xu Zheng looked at Cai You quietly, and said slowly: "It is a special thing to reward the land for having a baby. If you can get the land without any credit, the common people should do nothing all the time, hoping that the rewards will come out of thin air.”

Well, Cai You originally wanted to say that in order to normalize the distribution of population in various places, tear open the gap in land distribution, at least to attract densely populated counties and counties to migrate to empty places, so Xu Zheng said nothing up.

"It's impossible to get land for nothing." Sang Yu and Cai You are united at this moment, and Xu Zheng said without any fear: "Lands with vast land and few people can't be left alone. They can be replaced with land."

Xu Zhengman said indifferently: "As long as it doesn't break the non-military distribution of land, you can change it."

"Come out with a charter." Of course, Liu Yan knew the importance of the country's population distribution, and he also knew how tricky the so-called land replacement would be.

Land replacement can be a bad one for a good one, or it can be a way of dealing with people who think that the original land is good enough to move to a new place and should be compensated.

"Five years?" Cai You's cheeks began to twitch: "It takes one or two years to survey various places, and it is necessary to store food and fodder before moving, and local resettlement is related to local administration... I think this is a major event that will take decades."

Liu Yan thought about it and that was really what happened.He planned to turn a blind eye to what the civil affairs system was going to do. If the military started to cause trouble and had no intention of helping, he would just take a deep look at Cai You.

After talking about the things that should be discussed, it was late at night and it was time to go to bed. When Liu Yan entered his big tent, he saw Tuobaxiu making the bed, and subconsciously said, "Why are you..."

The king has quite a lot of women. Since ancient times, there has been a system of who should sleep with him at any night. It is also possible for the king to choose who to sleep with according to his own preferences.

If Liu Yan remembers correctly, Sang Miao should be here tonight?
"Sister Miao is in poor health." Tuobaxiu turned to look at Liu Yan, then approached to help Liu Yan undress, and said quietly, "Could it be that my concubine is a scourge?"

Didn't Liu Yan not want Tuoba Xiu to bring up the matter of Tuoba Shiyijian?
"My concubine already knows about Yandi." Tuobaxiu paused for a while, and continued to say when she was busy again: "I don't ask about important national affairs, and I don't ask how to deal with my brother, it's just..."

Liu Yan didn't wait for what Tuoba Xiu wanted to say after "just" and said directly: "Tuoba Shi Yijian will not be executed."

The Han Dynasty destroyed so many countries and forces, and the Jie people who hated them the most deliberately left some people with special status behind. The rest of them were also raised in confinement, except Tuoba Shi Yijian.

Not killing those people is by no means Liu Yan’s kindness, nor is it the tradition of endless descendants of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States. , To put it bluntly, it is used to show off martial arts.
