Han Shizu

Chapter 1094 Dissatisfaction and Vigilance

In the Long Live Hall, Emperor Liu was lying on his side in a comfortable position on the warm couch, with a round pillow under his armpit, listening to Shi Xizai's report attentively.As for Shi Xizai, he sat on a stool, but for him, he would rather stand with his body leaned forward, which might be more comfortable.

"According to Han Xizai, the pacifier of the southeast, so far, 320 households have been relocated from the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, and [-] households have been relocated from Kyushu under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi Province, half of which have already arrived. Moving into prefectures and counties for resettlement and household relocation policy, the overall promotion is smooth.

According to the plan of the Southeast Appeasement Mission, within one and a half years, 300,000 households of powerful and powerful clans will be relocated to the two rivers and two Zhejiang provinces, and [-] people will be relocated within three years.”

Shi Xizai simply reported to Emperor Liu about the relocation to the southeast.

"This relocation has caused a lot of trouble!" Hearing the news, Emperor Liu asked softly.

Hearing this question, Shi Xizai became nervous subconsciously, and replied: "The powerful and powerful clans are deeply rooted in the local area. Once they are removed, the roots will be affected, and the response will naturally be intense. They miss their families and disregard their country, and only care about their own interests. In general, it is inevitable to resist. Fortunately, the civil and military personnel in the southeast are thoughtful and able to deal with the matter effectively.

"Don't just choose nice words! Such a big fight, how can nothing happen, even if the civil and military do their best, where can the southeast be settled? How can the relocated people have no complaints?" Liu Chengyou said.

Listening to the emperor's words, Shi Xizai felt it silently, but it was difficult to fathom Liu Chengyou's intentions.He could only cup his hands and said: "The matter of relocation is related to the overall situation in the southeast. The disadvantages of the old nobles and powerful powers are already deep. If you don't start to solve it, it will affect the imperial court's governance. The methods may be more drastic and cause some disturbances, but the overall situation is in control. As long as you get through During this period, what the imperial court will have in the future will be a peaceful southeast, and the prosperity will definitely be better than before!"

Shi Xizai was not a person who was good at flattering, but after being a close minister of the emperor for a long time, he was inevitably influenced by Emperor Liu in his concept of handling affairs and governing.

From his remarks, we can know that these words are not something that a traditional scholar-bureaucrat can say.Of course, if you can't be on the same path as Emperor Liu ideologically, then it's hard to stay in front of the emperor for too long.

Therefore, Emperor Liu smiled, just because he was thinking about something, his smile was not sincere enough.After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu asked, "Are there complaints about the matter of relocating the tyrants in the imperial court, including the officials in the southeast?"

Speaking of this, Shi Xizai's expression became more serious, and he said: "The officials are also worried about acting too aggressively and causing chaos. After all, the southeast land is newly acquired, and the people's hearts are not attached. Everything is stable, and it is also a safe way to seek the country!"

"What should be stable, what should be urgent, I don't know? Don't the prime ministers know? Don't the officials of the Taoist government in the southeast understand?" He asked three times in a row, with a strong tone that could intimidate people.

Shi Xizai paused for a moment, and said: "Now that the big policy has been decided, we will promote its implementation, and everyone from the imperial court will do their best, and no one will be negligent."

Compared to a secretary, Shi Xizai was more like an admonisher, always speaking uprightly when Emperor Liu got a little too angry.

Glancing at him, Emperor Liu pondered for a while, and said leisurely: "I heard that there are many problems with this relocation, and there are many twists and turns. In the Jiangnan area, there are officials who accept bribes and use power for personal gain, and some people take the opportunity to embezzle property. There are also those who sent officials and soldiers to extort money and enslave them, and even murdered and plundered, and fled to the rivers and lakes."

Emperor Liu's speech was not slow, but it made people feel a chill. Although it was not aimed at himself, Shi Xizai also felt a little startled.After all, Emperor Liu is still dissatisfied with the relocation. From public opinion to execution, he has not won the Sacred Heart in all aspects.

With a little hesitation, Shi Xizai said: "The relocation to the southeast is a major national event. It involves a wide range and has a great impact. It is understandable that there will be some disturbances. After the incident, all the bosses and officers will rectify it in time and introduce measures to prevent and eliminate it. so as not to make mistakes."

"When the Shu people moved out, why were there not so many situations?" Liu Chengyou asked rhetorically.

Emperor Liu's words are a bit hooligan. The situation in Sichuan and Sichuan back then is not much comparable to the southeast today. The most important point is that most of the people who migrated to the north were involved in the rebellion. "Exile" and let them move to the border state of Guanzhong for resettlement.

As for the southeast, it is a coercive act of persecution, and the comparison between the two sides will naturally produce different effects.On the other hand, from southeast to northwest, you need to walk a diagonal angle, the farther the distance, the more prone to problems.Don't have too high expectations for the executive ability and efficiency of the officials below.

Originally, Emperor Liu knew it well in his heart, knowing that this was not an easy task, so it was not surprising that there would be chaos. Normally, he would not be too harsh on this aspect.However, from inside to outside, the whole government, in the process of handling this matter, frequently happened, and this was what really annoyed him.

"Among the households who moved north this time, are there any statistics, how many people died and how many escaped?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

Regarding this, Shi Xizai was silent for a while, because he didn't know, but under the gaze of Emperor Liu, he still said cautiously: "The matter is not over, and we need to report the registration status of the relocation to the prefectures and counties before we know it!"

"I also heard that some people from the Central Plains who moved south due to the war wanted to move back to their homeland, but they insisted on moving to the frontier state without discrimination?" Emperor Liu asked again: "What is the purpose of my relocation of the rich and the household?"

"Moving households to real borders, mostly in Guanzhong, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, Lingzhou and other Longyou and Hexi areas, the Han people's household registration is still rare, and the problem has not been resolved. Have you ever considered a solution?"

Emperor Liu's series of questions all showed his dissatisfaction with the work of relocation, and the atmosphere became a little tense, which made the next Shi Xizai a little uncomfortable.

Finally, the gloom in Liu Chengyou's heart turned into a sigh. Looking at the uncomfortable Shi Xizai, his tone became gentler, and he ordered: "You draw up an imperial edict, and send these questions I have to Han Xizai and the relocated household. I have to reflect on the context and military officials involved, and they should be more vigilant!"

"Yes!" Shi Xizai withdrew as if he had been pardoned.

As for Emperor Liu, he wrote a secret letter in hand, and ordered someone to send it to Han Xizai. The holy intention was very clear, and he was very satisfied with his move. , consider things comprehensively, and deal with them flexibly.

Regarding Qianhao and Shibian, Emperor Liu has absolutely no regrets, nor will he change his policy. After all, the benefits are obvious, even if there are some hidden dangers, even if there will be labor pains, it is within the acceptable range.The only dissatisfaction lies in the poor execution.

From the frequent situation before and after the relocation, Emperor Liu felt a bad atmosphere, that is, many officials seemed to be catering to his ideas, eager for quick success and instant benefits, and made a one-size-fits-all approach.

Many things and many situations could obviously be dealt with in a more flexible and comprehensive way, but they were all ignored.At the same time, an impetuous atmosphere seemed to be spreading among the officials, which Emperor Liu had never felt before the unification of the world.

He knew in his heart that he was still slack, blind, and slack in thinking.Although Emperor Liu established a common pursuit for the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty, the ambition of opening treasures, but from top to bottom, not everyone has this awareness and pursuit, and more officials who do not reach this level may hope to usher in a new era. An era of prosperity and enjoyment.

After thinking about it, Emperor Liu knew that after the treasure was opened, the administration of officials was still the most important thing, and he would never allow the officials of the empire to fall so easily.
On the other hand, Emperor Liu also began to worry that it might take time for ordinary people to adapt to the customs and environment when they were relocated, but with fields, land, houses, and preferential policies, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But what about those powerful clans?Will they be resentful if they are put on the outskirts, and will it be a disaster?Regarding this point, after putting himself in his shoes, Emperor Liu felt that the imperial court and the local government should be vigilant against this situation.
