Chapter 165 Probe (3)
All of them put pressure on this matter, and there was a reason for this.
All the new grass was placed after the court and local party was removed before the siege began to open up. Because there would be a commotion in the reform, if the mother interfered with it, it would cause Li Wei a headache. The troubles of water conservancy were nothing he had expected. At most, he heard some people saying that the bamboo paper mills and mills had embezzled Shuize.
But look at another one.
The land of Yunshuo was also called Liuzhen in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After Li Wei returned, under the leadership of Daozhen, the remaining Turks migrated to the grassland north of Fangshan one after another.
If Ashina Dao had not really intervened, coupled with the turmoil of Li Tang, it would be very likely that these Turks were all taken away by Gudulu. But if Dao really intervened, it was very likely that these tribes were close to the Central Plains, and had received some favors from the Tang Dynasty, and continued to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. They were destroyed by Gudulu's suppression, so it would be fine. But if they survived, they had to continue to treat them with a good attitude, otherwise many other tribes would be afraid, and a series of bad things would happen one after another.
This ethnic policy continues the previous policy towards Tugu River.
Furthermore, they are also needed in the desert to prevent the Tiel from becoming the only one.
But migration is very troublesome. Although it has little impact on them, they are all nomadic life. The Douluan River and Dule River have made a lot of space for them to nomadic. There was a similar case before. Taizong asked Asunasmo to move more than 100,000 tribes scattered in Xiayin, Henan and other places to move to the Great Wall and Hebei, nominally governing the vast areas of Yunshuo, Hebei to the Wulun River. This time Li Wei did it more thoroughly and expelled them all to the north of Fangshan.
Therefore, various measures were made, including preferential treatment of the chiefs of all races and taking out a large number of horses, sheep and sheep from the spoils, and allocating them to the people of these tribes, so that they could live a happy life on the grassland. But many things still happened, but the migration began.
This process may continue until next spring or autumn.
The vacuum area must be filled if the space is vacant. Otherwise, the tribes behind will see a large number of vacuum areas appearing and think it is easier to survive, but they will stay and not leave. Could they be forced to expel?
When Chang'an City was still one day away, Li Wei summoned all the prime ministers and important officials and told them about this matter.
Once they finished speaking, except for Wei Yuanzhong and Zhu Jingze who knew the inside story, everyone looked very cautious.
Wei Zhigu said, "Your Majesty, six towns."
This is almost an endorsement of myths and devils. Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
But the flying generals in Longcheng were not allowed to cross Chenshan. No real Han dynasty could do it, only the Xianbei regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty did it. Since Tuoba Gui, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been in the six towns of Yunshuo, developing agriculture, which is very similar to Qinghai's practices, including agriculture, semi-agricultural and semi-annextable, and animal husbandry. Tuoba Gui went south to the Central Plains, and Tuoba Tao pacified the food and property that he relied on in the north from the south of the desert (with the Great Gobi as the boundary, including the East Gobi Province of Mengding, the South Gobi Province of Gobi, and the Erlianhot of the Inner Mongolia Inner Mongolia in our country, the Animal Husbandry and the military farming on the frontier were mostly selected from this.
Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty established six towns in Wuye, Huaishuo, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, Huaihuang (northeast of Wuyuan, southwest of Guyang, west of Wuchuan, southwest of Siziwang Banner, northwest of Xinghe, and Zhangbei, Hebei). All of these places were at the mountain passes of Fangshan, and some strongholds were also set up at other mountain passes. They held the southern invasion of the northern nomadic peoples, and could not even step into Langshan.
On the contrary, from this piece of land, it is easier to mobilize troops. The north attacked the desert many times and defeated tribes such as Rouran and Gaoche.
It is very similar to the current Qinghai policy.
However, after the Northern Wei shifted its focus to the south, there was no source of unexpected wealth without plunder. The increase in population and natural disasters, the people were living in a difficult situation. Some mediocre generals served as town generals, only knowing how to accumulate money and annex fertile land. The town households could only cultivate more than ten barren dry land. The ancestors of these town households had a glorious history and made military achievements for the empire. Then the empire's disregard, and finally regarded the six towns as Lingnan and moved the criminals to live with them. Psychologically unbalanced.
The invasion of the Rouran people ignited the fuse of this contradiction. The Northern Wei sent Li Chong to lead 150,000 troops to pursue the Raku, but failed, allowing the townsmen to see the supremacy and incompetence of the Northern Wei regime. Why did this group of cowards ride on us and act as a blessing? The great momentum of the sixth Hanba, and the Ge Rong uprising began.
The Six Towns Uprising led countless heroes and heroes to come out of the borderland, Satan Devil, Breaking the Six Han Baling, Xianyu Xiuli, Ge Rong, Gao Huan, Yuwen Tai, Heba brothers, Dugu Xin, Hou Jing... The Gao Huan family, Yuwen Tai family, Yang Jian family, Li Yuan family...
Without the six towns, there would be no Gao Qi, Yuwen Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties.
This is a myth, a legend, but as the one who gains benefits, the Six Towns are another devil and hell.
Even Pei Judao, who was a mean person, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, think twice."
"Give the largest map for me..." said the eunuch beside Li Weiqi.
After careful screening and observation, it was only after the major cleaning that Li Wei used a small number of eunuchs.
However, in the longer term, the proportion of eunuchs will be gradually reduced in the future, and a large number of palace maids were adopted. In addition to a few useful female officials, most of these palace maids were deported from the age of 25 to 30, and they had time to get married and have children at this age. Doing so also brought vitality to Longan's harem and reduced the possibility of eunuchs' dictatorship. The practice was more humane. The map was taken.
Li Wei hung it up and said, "Look at the history of the six towns. Think about the current Qinghai and the Western Regions. Whether it is production model, military combat effectiveness, glorious history, generals, etc., is it very similar to the early stages of the Six Towns? There are problems with the Six Towns, and there are also problems with the Western Regions in the future."
More than a dozen important officials all browned.
After thinking about it, it was really similar.
"Let's take a look at the reasons for the rebellion of the people in the six towns. The Northern Wei Dynasty. Well, if it were a country, would the country without six towns last for a long time?"
No one can answer.
"I have also been doing this to discriminate against the six towns. In the future, except for the reclamation areas established by some criminals, it is not allowed to exile officials and criminals to Lingnan and other places to avoid feeling unbalanced in the hearts of local people."
Once again no one answered. But everyone was in deep thought.
"But the most important thing is that the country cannot bear their security, but instead needs tribute taxes. The farming of the most barren land is the one that cannot survive. Once the people cannot survive, how can they say that the six towns are the Central Plains? Are there no such people as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Zhang Jiao? Is it not safe to use my own family to guard the northern gate? Do you need Ashina Gudulu, and Ashide Wenbo and others to guard the northern gate? "
After saying that, he glanced at everyone and saw many people brows spreading, knowing that they were gradually changing their minds.
"In fact, it is still a governance. Whether it is the six towns or Qinghai, people must have land to farm and clothes to warm up. Assimilation of foreign races, popularize education on the customs, learn Chinese characters, and learn Chinese, then the six towns are not devils. Otherwise, the people around us will not become our paradise either. I will talk about this issue after representatives of major families arrive in Xijing. It is still a long time to put aside the six towns and not talk about the Western Regions. I have negotiated with all ethnic groups, and the demise of Geluo and Chebishi tribes in the front, and the policy of exchanging land for land, and the narrow length of Jinman from Shattered Leaf to Luntai, Jinman is moved out.
In the future, we can provide a lot of room for development for our Central Plains immigrants to cultivate. There is still a lot of room for development. But look at Qinghai... don't have too many, ten years later... the fields will become tense. Unless the entire Qinghai is captured, you can slow down. However, Nuodao Bo will eventually go back. Besides, Qinghai takes the Chiling Yellow River as the line and is not suitable for farming westward. It can only be half-cultivated and half-married in a few places. It is mixed with piece of arable land, and it is integrated. If there is something wrong with Tuyuhun, a pro-Tang Dynasty, you can recruit troops. This is the only way. But what will happen after twenty years? If survival is difficult, and there are a group of strong combat power people. What will happen?"
A new six towns will be responsible!
"After all, it's still the same land. The heavier the annexation, there are too many large households with tax exemption, small and medium-sized households have meager incomes, and the less land they have, but they bear the heavier taxes of the country. Without the six towns, the country will also have a crisis. Therefore, I spared no expenses to overhaul water conservancy and try to increase some fertile land. In addition, after the people of Tuyuhun of Lingxia returned to Qinghai, they could free up some farmland, and the north could also migrate a small number of poor land and tenants to reduce the urgency of the land. In addition, the south and the south were the south.
Most of them are a few barbarians, with backward production and slashing and fire farming in many areas. The court is inconvenient to manage, and it is sometimes chaotic and sometimes resuming, becoming a waste of the country. But that is not the case? In fact, some areas, such as the turbulent water basin in Lingnan, have abundant water flow, strong sunshine, and hot weather, which is more suitable for planting than in the north. Because we neglected, it has become a place of wilderness. Why is the south of the Yangtze River humid? There are many methods of marsh, and the water steam is steeping in the sky, making it difficult for people to live in. Once the swamp decreases, will it be like this?
Why is there goiter in the south? There are few people, animals and plants die and rot, poisonous gas evaporates and presses on the surface, so it is sucked into life. However, will there be crippling gas when there are too many people living there? As for the heat, the Goths came here..." pointed to Spain: "Where is it too hot, the Goths are all barbarians from the north of Europa, why can they survive? Would they rather starve to death than migrate to a beautiful place? No, the national tax policy
The officials did not let the people leave the prefectures and counties, and their roots were in a state of loving the roots. The route they moved was far away, and the court had no subsidies, and they could not reach them, and they could not survive after arrival. As long as we do some practical things, such as teaching barbarians to plow oxen, teaching planting, and walking out of the forest, the country will get a long-term taxation land in the future. Or make some policies to encourage the people to move to the south, and the Lingnan place will be a large granary for our dynasty. How many people will this be accommodated?"
"I have said many times to prevent annexation. Then the court can take some measures to make the speed of converting arable land exceed the speed of annexation and population growth. If the land cannot reach saturation, there will be no land pressure. There is even a way to go. Look at this. The large islands in the South China Sea are all backward barbarians. I believe that you will not ignore the people of the Central Plains and our subjects will ignore the lives and deaths. What kind of benevolence and morality should you talk to these barbarians? It is also a large area of land for us to cultivate. Not only that, if we cultivate it here..." He pointed to the ocean and talked about it: "Going east, there are few islands, and it is very small, and it is difficult to set off from the east. But as long as we seamen develop here and build a large number of supply points, we can extend forward one after another, explore some small islands, and establish supply points on it one after another, and you can reach where you can."
"Your Majesty is inappropriate. Let me listen to my words. The territory is vast and unmanaged. Don't talk about overseas. If the people in the Central Plains are thin, there will be chaos." Wei Xuantong was brave enough to express his thoughts.
"Wei Qing's concerns make sense. So I had a conversation with Di Qing and Wei Qing some time ago, saying that we would popularize the study of things. Of course, as an auxiliary subject popularization, the development of study of things can develop many devices that benefit the people, and even faster transportation tools can be developed to strengthen the cohesion of the empire and improve management. I have also repeatedly said that popularizing schools will make the people and the barbarian kings, increase their loyalty to the empire, and cultivate more talents. The military and political separation will be separated, and the warlords will appear."
Most people don’t know the inside story, and they get a little frowning after hearing this. This requires some new updates, from education to system. But I feel relieved when I think about it. Compared with the Luantai Fengge and the worship of the Seven Temples of the Wu Family some time ago, these innovations are not worth mentioning.
Li Wei said again: "As long as the system is perfect, it is better than tens of millions of people who are in the two capitals and have no clothes to wear and no land to cultivate. This is a gunpowder pack that can ignite the gunpowder that destroys the country at any time."
"Even so, your Majesty, those overseas..." Wei Xuantong couldn't help but shake his head: "Lingnan may formulate some measures to strengthen management, but overseas..."
That is for the way for the country to grow wild. You can't take it seriously. There is no way to rule or manage the vast ocean that is thousands or tens of thousands of miles apart.
"It's still wrong. Technology is developing, and the ship speed will get faster and faster, and the load capacity of the ship will get bigger and bigger. At least not far away, the imperial court can accommodate management. And they are located in the sea and there is no interference from other forces. Why can't they be managed? The distant place is, I admit that it cannot be managed. But if an envoy from a country comes to pay tribute, will everyone be happy? How many people are moved depends on the imperial court. If the country develops to a population of 100 million and has no land to cultivate, will the people be allowed to kill children and sell their daughters? Why can't they be moved to? For example, a strange country comes to pay tribute, and we are born from the same root, why not?"
These words have been kept in my heart for a long time, and I finally said them today.
The country is a bit cruel and conservative about its fellow tribes abroad, but when the country is in trouble, most of these overseas Chinese will extend their hands. Once they move far away, it is very likely that one by one, one by one, will appear in distant places. However, it is finally born from the same roots. No matter how they develop in the future, the adsorption force is stronger than the centrifugal force.
This is different from the United States. It is composed of countless countries with large and small migrants. The various sectarian countries are very small and have no adsorption power, so they become countries. But at this time, they awaken a thousand years in advance, and these several great regions will become the territory of the Chinese in hundreds of years.
He continued: "Not only that, I am a little anxious, and there is one more thing. On which continent, there are several types of grains that are very suitable for arid terrain and their yields are much higher than those of rice tickets, even as high as ten times higher. Everyone, what effect will it have if you bow it in?"
"Your Majesty, what kind of food is it?" Pei Judao asked in surprise.
If this is true, it is not a trivial matter.
"Well, there are several types. But you have also seen that, further east, there are not many islands and very small. Without understanding the waterway and setting up supply points, the ship cannot reach where the ships can live. There are a large number of indigenous people living on it. I only know where these kinds of food grow, and I don't know which direction is specific. Then a large number of troops must be sent, and there may be 5,000 people, or 10,000 people. After reaching, resist the armed forces of the local indigenous people, so that they can be found. Once obtained and promoted, the food problem will be worry-free within five hundred years."
This is of great significance. As long as you have enough food, who is willing to rebel?
He asked again: "So, are there any difficulties in the six towns?"
