Chapter 1693 Anxi King

"For Liu Min's request, how to support it specifically, and what drafts does the Political Affairs Hall have?" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang and asked directly.

Liu Yang pondered for a while, and said calmly: "Seeds, agricultural tools, and dispatching officials are not difficult matters. The former can be transferred and transferred by the Ministry of Households, and the latter can be implemented according to the system of appointment and promotion of officials in border areas. There is no shortage of big men now. Officials are talented.

However, the situation in the Western Regions is complicated, and there is a large area of ​​newly occupied land. If you want to consolidate and develop it, you need to send more officials who are familiar with the affairs of the barbarians. It is best to select from the neighboring Northwest Daozhou.

During the rectification of the Northwest in recent months, there are still a group of officials with relatively minor crimes who have not been dealt with. I think they can all be sent to the Western Regions to enrich the local area and give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

In addition, there are also a group of people who are lingering in the imperial court's political observers. They have not yet decided where they will go, but they can also be sent to Anxi to practice! "

Listening to Liu Yang's well-organized measures, Emperor Liu was obviously very satisfied, nodded his head and said: "Governing the country is based on the management of officials, and the way of employing people has been thoroughly implemented, then there is no problem that cannot be solved!"

"Father said so!" Liu Yang echoed, saying, "The only problem is population, and the imperial court can't come up with any effective solutions for the time being.

After all, the Western Regions are too remote, and the place is still unstable, so there are probably not many people who are willing to emigrate.In the early years, it was still possible to recruit from the poor people, but in recent years, the effectiveness of this method has also been low.

Even if there are those who are willing to go out, they are unwilling to go to such a remote place, or they would rather go to sea."

"These are indeed problems, and we must take some measures!" Emperor Liu said calmly.

Liu Yang glanced at Emperor Liu, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhao made a suggestion. The chaos in Yulin is rooted in the party members. If the party members can be relocated to the Western Regions, it will not only solve the chaos in Yulin, but also help Anxi. Prime Minister Song raised objections, thinking that this move would only exacerbate the turmoil in the party, and Prime Minister Wang and Lu Xiang also had doubts, so this discussion is temporarily shelved!"

Regarding this, Emperor Liu did not ask Liu Yang for his opinion as usual, but directly reprimanded him: "This Zhao Pu, is it not that he is old and confused? It is thanks to him that he figured it out!
The party is hard to tame, Yulin is under the nose of Guanzhong, even if it is stubborn and disobedient, causing such turmoil, it is okay to move them to Anxi?This strategy is tantamount to letting the tiger infeste. When the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can the court control it.

The current situation in the Western Regions is already complicated, and it is difficult to talk about consolidation. If the Party members and the Black Khans are allowed to collude again, what kind of disaster will it cause? Can't Zhao Pu see it? "

Faced with Emperor Liu's reprimand of Zhao Pu's suggestion, which criticized Zhao Pu as a person, Liu Yang was surprised and shocked. Although he didn't attack Zhao Pu face to face, it really didn't take Zhao Pu's face into consideration.

After hesitating for a while, maybe it was because of his personality, or maybe he had a good relationship with Zhao Pu, so Liu Yang still opened his mouth and said something for Zhao Pu: "It has been nearly a year since the riots in Yulin, Xiang Xiang wanted to come here to worry and worry, and he was a little negligent in thinking. Bar!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu was stunned for a moment, noticed Liu Yang's calm expression, smiled, walked out of the state of barking teeth and claws, and said softly: "Tell me about the feasible method!"

In this regard, Liu Yang obviously still had some considerations. After hearing the question, he continued: "After discussing with the ministers, we can only adopt a policy of lure. The ministers believe that we can follow the example of Anton and formulate The immigration policy is funded by the imperial court, which is dedicated to attracting people from the mainland.

The sixth brother mentioned in the memorial that although the Western Regions are remote and full of wind and sand, there is no shortage of cultivated land, pastures, and water sources. In some places, the fertile soil and fertile fields are not worse than the rich fields in the Central Plains, and even surpass them.

In addition, the Western Regions are the hub of the Silk Road, driven by business travel from east to west, which already has the foundation for development and prosperity. The development of the Hexi Corridor in recent years has already proved this point.

With the bitter cold in Anton, hundreds of thousands of immigrants can still be immigrated, let alone the Western Regions? "

After Liu Yang finished speaking, Emperor Liu nodded slightly. However, he glanced at him and said pointedly: "I remember that when Liu Xu took this policy, the court was gossip and gossip. Why did the attitude change this time?"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Liu Yang was silent for a while. As Emperor Liu pointed out, many of those who pointed fingers at Anton's politics and were eccentric were all supporters of him, the prince.

Facing Emperor Liu's gaze, Liu Yang lowered his head slightly, and replied: "Brother's administration in Anton has been very effective. The mountains and rivers in the northeast are becoming more and more stable, and the population is becoming more and more prosperous. All of this is due to his achievements. In all fairness, the government in it is commendable. Learn from it!"

After a slight pause, Liu Yang said again: "If the sixth younger brother can follow the elder brother's government, and Anxi can do like Anton's affairs, then the big man can be safe and secure!"

Regardless of whether Liu Yang's words were sincere or not, Emperor Liu was still very pleased to hear them.Probably sitting for a long time, moved his buttocks, and instructed: "The imperial court can issue an announcement, calling on the government and the public, officials, businessmen, officials and people to go to the Western Regions to develop Anxi. In addition, on the Silk Road, customs taxes along the way can be used to reduce taxes. , to inspire business travel and drive popularity!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "Back then, when my father issued an edict, there were 100,000 people who went to Anton from the honorable subjects. I want to come here to tell you that those who go west to Anxi will definitely be more prosperous!"

"Although the Western Regions are far away, they are indeed a treasure land. Otherwise, the prosperity of the countries in the Western Regions would not last for thousands of years. Although it has been lost to foreigners for a long time, the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty, now that it is brought back, it is natural to make good use of it and make it permanent in China. !" Emperor Liu said some high-sounding words, but they did have some sincerity.

At his stage, compared to the past, he has lost a lot of hypocrisy, he speaks and does what he wants, and he has removed a lot of pretense.However, the more this was the case, the more the courtiers feared him and felt that he was unfathomable.

"Also, in addition to organizing the farmers and herdsmen in Anxi to resume production, the sixth brother also arranged for the Western Expeditionary Army to reclaim land on the spot. A large number of acres that have been reclaimed will be harvested this autumn to fill up the military needs. See what the sixth brother means. It means to resettle the Western Expeditionary Army on the spot." Liu Yang mentioned another matter.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Emperor Liu's eyes flashed doubts, and he asked, "What do you think?"

"If this is the case, if the families of the soldiers from the Western Expedition are relocated to the west, there will be hundreds of thousands of people, and the Western Regions will be safe!" Liu Yang seemed to have no consideration for other things, and said truthfully.

"Having said that, how safe is the army's mind?" Emperor Liu thought for a while, but said: "Tens of thousands of soldiers left their homes and went to the Western Regions to fight for the country and make contributions. willing?"

Although he can see the benefits, Emperor Liu still maintains a cautious attitude in this regard. No matter what, the army must not be chaotic and its morale must not be unstable.Even Anton's garrison is also rotated regularly, just to comfort the soldiers and avoid complaints during the long-term border defense process.

However, after Emperor Liu thought about it, he still instructed: "This method is feasible! But you must obey the wishes of the soldiers and do not force it! Isn't there a large amount of fertile land and pastures in the Western Regions? bigger.

It must be noted that it cannot be compelled. The center has too many policies, and it will change as soon as it reaches the place. Some of them can be tolerated, but if there is a problem with this matter, it will lose its head! "

"Yes!" Liu Yang said with a serious expression: "I will explain it later, and I will strengthen supervision!"

"En!" Emperor Liu responded.

After discussing for so long, Emperor Liu seemed to be a little tired. He raised his hand and said, "For the affairs of the Western Regions, let's do it according to the agreement! In addition, change Anxi Road to Anxi Governor's Mansion, and follow the example of An Dong. Liu Min is the governor of Anxi!"

When Emperor Liu made this instruction, Liu Yang didn't have much abnormality on his face. Obviously, he had expected it.However, what he can imagine is that once this edict is issued, there will be another disturbance in the court. With a "King Andong", will there be another "King Anxi"?
