Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1117 Discussion
"Your Majesty, do you really want to relocate the people of Weibo?" Yanying asked right and moved to the Fenfang Hall in Shangyang City, Zhongshu servant Song Le asked with a serious face.

"I have made up my mind." Shao Shude said with certainty.

He is very clear that Song Le is not against him, but wants to confirm his thoughts again, because this is a very important national policy, which involves all aspects and cannot be sloppy.

What's more, did the matter stop at Wei Bo?not necessarily.

"Your Majesty understands." Song Le sat on the chair and said, "However, Your Majesty knows that in the affairs of the world, if there is gain, there must be loss?"

"Song Qing, but it's okay to talk." Shao Shude stretched out his hand, motioning for him to continue.

"Immigration costs a lot. If there are only 25 households, the locality can maintain it. With [-] households, it is very difficult to support it." Song Le said: "If a household has five people, it needs [-] hu grains a year. After immigrating, you need to provide enough rations in the first year, and reduce it in the second year, and you can delay it in the third year, and just give some. The minister sent someone to look through the Heyang file, and the people of a family started from it. At that time, they can be self-sufficient. Counting rations and seeds, they will spend about a hundred dendrobiums. If there are [-] households a year, the annual cost will be more than [-] dendrobiums. If there is a shortage, immigrants can collect wild vegetables, fruits and vegetables, or It can be used to cover part of the food, but [-] hu a year is the least."

Shao Shude listened quietly.

Song Le has managed many places, such as Guanbei, Heyang and other places, and has dealt with front-line immigration affairs for a long time, so he has a great say in this.In other words, he is an expert, and his words are of great reference value.

"Chenxi town Heyang, Menghuai two prefectures can be said to be developed by immigrants." Song Le continued: "At that time, the people in Huazhou mainly relied on the river for relief, and the Tibetan households relied on the food gifts they got from the army to survive the most difficult times. In the first two years, His Majesty also emigrated in Tang, Deng, and Xiangyang, and the amount spent should be similar to this amount. If your Majesty wants to relocate the people of Weibo, you must carefully estimate the bearing capacity of the local states and counties, not only Just the immigration costs, and the garrison costs."

"How many people are there in Xiangzhou?" Shao Shude turned his head and asked Pei Shu, Minister of the Household Department.

"Your Majesty, the seven counties of Xiangzhou, after a long period of war, were transferred to all parties. When Zhao Kuangning moved the town, and..." Pei Shu cleared his throat and said.

"Just tell me how many people there are." Shao Shude interrupted.

"In the first year of Jianji, there were more than 41200 households and more than 20 mouths." Pei Shu replied.

This kind of high-level questioning meeting, of course, needs to be prepared in advance. In fact, some officials from the Ministry of Finance also participated in order to prepare for the saint's inquiries.

"I have immigrated for several years, but there are still only so few people?" Shao Shude sighed, and said, "Okay, there is no need to explain. Zhe Zongben fought in the south, so it is normal that the household registration is not abundant. 20 people, that is It is enough to resettle [-] households. No, part of the grain and grass must be allocated to support the Weisheng army in the campaign, and the common people have to serve in corvee. Five thousand households are enough to support the sky. What does Song Qing think?"

"Your Majesty, this is what I want to say." Song Le replied: "Xiangzhou could have accommodated [-] households of immigrants, but the continuous war in the Eastern Han Dynasty has consumed a lot of energy, so it can only accommodate [-] households. If the Han Eastern War—”

"We will discuss this later," Shao Shude said.

"Where is Tang and Deng Sui Sanzhou?" He asked again.

"There are more than 93200 households and more than 42 people in seventeen counties in the three prefectures of Tang and Deng Sui." Pei Shu replied: "In the past five years, a large number of Han people in Kansai have flowed in, and they are also effective in protecting the families of soldiers, so the growth is extremely rapid. This The three prefectures also need to provide for the Handong war expenses, and roads need to be built in the town, and the newly moved Xiangwei and Hezhong people will not be able to fully support themselves until next year. It may be difficult to move the Weibo people here.”

It's the Battle of Handong again!Shao Shude was helpless.

But to be honest, he didn't really want to transfer Wei people to Tang Deng Sui.I have been there so many times, although they are all family members of the Xiaojie Army, and everyone in Weibo is calling for beatings, but after all, it is not his basic position. It will take time to digest it. Spare strength, unless the Handong war stops and the army goes north to Luoyang to eat.

"Can we allocate grain and grass from Henan Province?" Shao Shude asked again.

"If your Majesty takes the whole territory of Weibo, you can rest and recuperate, and you may support it." Song Le said: "The war in Weibo has been protracted for a long time, more than 60 soldiers have been fighting endlessly, and [-] people have transferred supplies, which consumes a lot. Henan will give Fusan Years later, I just breathed a sigh of relief, and the balance is not much."

Shao Shude thought about it secretly, and felt that the situation was not as serious as what Song Le said. His words were exaggerated, and the core was to persuade himself not to fight in another way.But it's not unreasonable. After thinking about it, he said: "This year, we will focus on dealing with Weibo affairs. After conquering Bozhou and recovering scattered military towns and county towns, we will retire and rest. Henan Road may recruit masters, food and grass, and transfer To Xiangyang, what does Song Qing think?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Song Le praised.

"Your Majesty, I think Xiangyang can relocate the people of Weibo, but not too many. Five thousand households a year is enough." Zhongshu Shilang Chen Cheng said: "Ezhou is located in an important thoroughfare, but it has been deserted for many years. Maybe it can be used."

"Is Du Hong here?" Shao Shude shouted.

"The minister is here." The Privy Council of the Beiya Privy Council ordered Du Hong to come out immediately and responded.

"I heard that when Du Qing was in Hubei, he searched out hidden households and recruited exiles. Da'an, a land of seven counties, has a household registration of almost [-] people." Shao Shude said: "From your point of view, the northerners may adapt to the water town of Zeguo?"

"Your Majesty, the seven counties of Ezhou had nearly [-] households and more than [-] people in the eighth year of Tianbao. During the Dashun period of the former Tang Dynasty, despite the war, their household registration reached [-]. Most of these [-] people are from Henan. The original Ezhou people——" Du Hong sighed and said: "The nest thief and the Cai thief have almost harmed them."

"How many people are there in Yuezhou?"

"The five counties in Yuezhou are under the control of the brothers of the Deng family. I really don't know." Although Du Hong is the envoy of Eyue Jiedu, he is actually the leader of the alliance. He didn't lie, he really didn't know.

"My minister estimates that there are still 6 to [-] people." Du Hong said again: "Deng Jinsi vigorously tracked down the hidden households, and punished the water bandits and river thieves. It will be more than sixty thousand."

Shao Shude couldn't help laughing.

Deng Jinsi was originally a bandit, but after he became the governor, he vigorously suppressed the bandits. This is really the ass deciding the head.Moreover, the bandits he suppressed may not necessarily be real bandits.In the troubled times, many people formed strongholds to protect themselves, and the imperial court could not control these manpower, nor could they register for household registration.Deng Jinsi wiped them out, and indeed he could gain a lot of people.

However, the populations of Hubei and Yue are really outrageous.

In the later Ming Dynasty, Huguangshu was famous all over the world.Even though this society has not been effectively developed, the area from Wuhan to Yueyang only has a population of 10. It is also true that there are no good statistics.

The imperial court's control in the south is really a problem.

Zhe Zongben settled his home in Ezhou, and he has no interest in local government affairs. So far, he has not even checked his household registration and farmland, which is actually a bit dereliction of duty.

"I promised Zhao Kuangning to attack the Deng family of Yuezhou for him." Shao Shude said: "Forget it, the Handong war is suspended. Let Zhe Zongben return to Ezhou, rest for a while, and then attack Yuezhou. Wei Bo, The army rotates, and the town is quiet. After the summer harvest in Henan, the masters are recruited to allocate grain and grass, and transport it to the Hubei Road."

Hubei Province used to be the first to use it to discuss matters when the administrative reform was promoted, but the preparations have not yet been completed, and the action is indeed slow.

"Let's make an edict in Zhongshu. I want to set up the Hubei Province to temporarily govern the seven prefectures of E, Yue, Ying, Fu, An, Huang, and Qi, and govern Ezhou." Shao Shude said: "Ren Qiang Quansheng will be the governor of Hubei Province. I control the overall situation. From ancient times, I will be the commander of the capital and form the soldiers of the states."

Qiang Quansheng used to be a military envoy, and after Li Yanling left office, he took good care of the military envoy's office.

In front of literati, he is a warrior.Among warriors, he is a literati.He is also a veteran of Yuan Cong. Although his ability is mediocre, his superiority lies in his loyalty. It is suitable for him to be the governor of Hubei Province.

Zhe has been a member of the Zhe family since ancient times. He used to be the governor of Dengzhou and is now the governor of Huangzhou.The military ability is actually very good, and he has made many achievements under Zhe Zongben's account.But success also breaks the family, and failure also breaks the family. Since ancient times, Zhe has not jumped out of the small pond of the Zhejia army, even if he has great ability, it will be delayed.

But don't think he's stupid.

Many people have vaguely guessed that Zhe has been staring at Wei Shengjun since ancient times.This army has been fighting for many years, and there are currently [-] cavalry, which is actually a big capital.He may have hoped that after Zhe Zongben passed away, he would be able to take over as the envoy of the Wesheng Army and take control of this army.

Shao Shude has received several small reports, and he is very careful about him.

This time Zhe Zhe was appointed as the commander of Hubei Daodu from ancient times, which was an appointment that shattered his dream. The meaning of beating is very obvious: don’t think about those who have and don’t have them, and shine in the new position well, then it’s still yourself People can still be trusted.

The officials of Zhongshu Province immediately began to draw up the decree, and the officials of the subordinate province reviewed it on the spot, Shao Shude commented, and then sent it out.It takes no more than half an hour before and after, and the efficiency is extremely high.

Yan Yingwen really enjoyed this kind of high-level meeting that convened the heads of various major departments and the officials involved.However, this kind of organization similar to the Military Aircraft Department is not compliant and seriously infringes on the power of the prime minister. It cannot be opened more and cannot be established permanently.Shao Shude is not interested in permanent establishment either. The people are too tired, too much power has been brought in, too many memorials need to be reviewed, and the decisions made may not be in line with the actual situation. After all, you are not a professional, and it is enough to grasp the general direction.

"Before I knew it, the topic of discussion was completely off the mark." Shao Shude put down his brush and said with a smile, "I have decided to immigrate [-] households to Hubei Province, of which [-] households are from Weibo states, and [-] households are from Kansai. How do you feel?"

"Your Majesty, after defeating the Deng family in Yuezhou, we may transfer the Weisheng Army to the north, and exchange a forbidden army to station in the south." Chen Cheng added: "The Privy Councilors have fought for the country for many years, and they should return to Luoyang to live a leisurely and prosperous life. gone."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked sideways, but Chen Cheng didn't notice it.

"Yes." Shao Shude said: "The Privy Council will discuss this matter and report it to me."

This is the final word.

The sage agreed, and everyone had nothing to say, so they all said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Let's go here." Shao Shude said: "Continue to discuss the matter in the afternoon. The Anton mansion and Qingtang side are more difficult, and we need to plan in the long run."
