Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

If there are the most Fan tribes in Youzhou Town, it is of course Youzhou.

Ge Congzhou led his troops to Lu County, and within a few days, there were more than ten battles, large and small.And the Tianxiong Army who stayed in Youzhou also dispatched a group of soldiers and horses, marched westward, and with the help of some leading parties, they took several tribes lightly.

Yin An Zhi went north to Changping area, swept the land like a whirlwind, and captured more than [-] people——more than [-] people with a bewildered expression.

Before the Great Xia King Zhao led the army to attack Juyongguan, and they also sacrificed more than a thousand cattle and sheep.How can you turn your face so quickly when you are old?
Those who know the inside story of the Central Plains can't help sighing, this Shao Sheng just loves to toss.What's wrong with Youzhou Fanbu?In the former Tang Taizong's meeting, it was Jimi Prefecture. Everyone took care of themselves and lived in peace, but you insisted on registering as a householder and making trouble for yourself. Are you stupid?

But their objection is invalid.Shao Shude is now addicted to dismantling bombs, even if the bomb will explode, he will firmly dismantle it.

There are some things that are done at the founding of the country and done in the middle of the dynasty, the cost is very different, and the success rate is also very different.

Just talking about immigration, thousands or tens of thousands of households immigrated at the founding of the country, and dozens or hundreds of households migrated in the middle of the dynasty. The contrast is too disparate to compare.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of cost.

Once the dynasty reached the middle and late stages, the cost of everything increased sharply, such as immigration, building palaces, and fighting wars.
Even because of worrying about the consequences, and with the mentality that one thing more is worse than one thing less, I simply stopped doing it.

The bombs in feudal towns are being dismantled; the bombs of surrendered soldiers are being dismantled, and the bombs of Youzhou and Fanbu are being dismantled;

How can you be timid when doing things, Shao Sheng's will is very firm, and the knives of the Great Xia warriors are very sharp. For a while, the entire Youyan land is full of wolves and hogs, and heads are rolling.Dozens of ghosts surnamed Fanhu cried and howled, not knowing where they were going.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Zhao Wang Shao Siwu personally led troops to wipe out the last resisting tribe in Pingzhou, captured nearly [-] people, and finished work smoothly.

Li Neng and Li Shaoye followed behind Shao Siwu with complicated expressions, and sighed inwardly as they watched Jiangren kneeling all over the ground.

In fact, the former Lulong Jiedu envoys also had ruthless people who wanted to register as Qimin, but they had long been deeply bound to the Fanhu tribe.There are people from them in the army, people from the government, and even merchants who do business—the Sogdians are very good at this.

In simple terms, they are a symbiotic relationship.Taking action against the tribe is to weaken the power of the Jiedushi, and in the end it will always be nothing.

Those who can really take care of the tribe are actually outsiders, such as Li Keyong who conquered Youzhou.But he didn't do that. He only suppressed rebellious tribes and wooed others. The overall strategy was a gentle one.

This may be related to the habits of Jin people.They themselves are the heads of the big army and the head of the small army. The Youzhou tribe is actually equivalent to a small army head. The Jin people have long seen it.

Now Li Keyong's foster brother is here. He is also an outsider, and he also conquered Youzhou, but his desire to control seems to be much stronger. He tries to hold all the power in his hands, and he has no tolerance for large and small troops. Head, keep suppressing and cutting down the vassal.

If you have such a person in the stall, just consider yourself unlucky, there is nothing you can do.

"Your Highness, has the sage ever descended on Deyin? How will these descendants be dealt with?" Li Neng leaned forward and asked.

Shao Siwu withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at the two, and said, "Don't you need to worry? Have you ever read "An Enlightenment to the Military and Civilian System of Youzhou"?"

"Of course I have read it." Li Neng replied.

"The sage made it very clear in the book making, those who have loyalty in their hearts, 'Be safe for everyone, don't worry about it'. You and other tribes can organize households to equalize the people, and dictate the amount of land. From now on, you will be the good people of Great Xia. Why worry?" Shao Siwu said: "As for these prisoners of war, the chiefs and their clans slaughtered them, and there is no turning point. Ordinary people are sent to other places, and they are compiled into the Ministry of Soldiers."

At the place where the two were talking, there were many soldiers of Guide and Longwu armies in armor and armed. At this time, they all looked excited after hearing King Zhao's explanation.There are those with active brains, even
I have even planned to go to Qianjin Metallurgy City to find a blacksmith to make some farm tools.When we arrived in Anton Mansion, how could we cultivate land without good farm tools?The uncle is rich, and he doesn't like wooden farm tools. He bought more than ten pieces of iron farm tools to bring back and rent them to Buqu, which is also an income.

Of course, the imperial court will also do this, so they don't need to worry about it at all.

Youzhou Town's iron smelting ability is still very strong, and it is no problem to forge farm tools, and the quality is high, and the cost price is sold to the sergeants, which is regarded as the welfare of Liaodong wasteland.

"So I feel relieved." When Li Neng heard this, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he asked again: "I don't know where to grant the land?"

"Several new counties." Shao Siwu said: "The imperial court intends to establish Leting County in Le'an Town, Changli County in Changli Town, and restore Funing County. These are the places."

Le'an Town used to have Leting County in the Jin Dynasty, and Funing County was established in the early Tang Dynasty, but was abolished later.There was also a Linyu County at that time, which was later abolished.

The reason for dismissing the county is that the household registration is too small, which is actually an old problem of the Tang Dynasty.Many large counties with well-to-do household registrations in other dynasties were sparsely populated in Tang Dynasty—at least the population on household registration was small—such as Dengzhou, Laizhou, Youzhou, Pingzhou, Jizhou and other places.

Of course, Youzhou Town had objective reasons, that is, a large number of war prisoners moved in, such as Turks, Mohe, Goguryeo, Khitan, and Xi people.There are also many people who took the initiative to surrender and settle here, such as the Shiwei, Sogdian and other clans.

Considering that nomadic animal husbandry required a lot of land, it would not be possible to support too many people. Therefore, the counties such as Laoting and Funing that existed in the Northern Dynasty were abolished, but they have not been re-established.

Even in the heyday of Kaiyuan, the population of Youzhou was far less than that of Han Dynasty, at least on the surface.

Shao Shude was determined to reverse this abnormal situation, so he vigorously cleared his household registration in Youzhou, confiscated armored soldiers, registered households for all people, and dictated land.

After the addition of three counties in Pingzhou, there will be six counties, so let's farm the land honestly in the future, don't think too much.

Next door Jizhou also added three counties, namely Xuwu, Changcheng and Tuyin.

Xuwu County is in the area of ​​Zunhua in the later generations, Changcheng is in the north and south of Fengnan, Tangshan, and Tuyin County is near Fenglan, Tangshan. They are all old counties in the Han and Jin Dynasties, and they are now re-established.

As a result, Ji and Ping prefectures changed from six counties to twelve counties. The next step is to clean up the household registration, rebuild the registration book, and resettle the immigrants.

Yes, the number of immigrants will be huge, because Shao Shude doesn't trust these newly surrendered Fanhu tribesmen at all.His "favorites" are firstly the people in Kansai, and secondly, the relatively honest and obedient people in Henan—well, they are only relatively honest, highlighting the word "relatively".

In the prosperous Kaiyuan period, Ji and Ping prefectures only had a population of more than 4 in terms of household registration, but this is the entire prefecture-level cities of Qinhuangdao and Tangshan in later generations, plus a part of Tianjin and Langfang. big teeth.You know, there were several 10 people here in the Western Han Dynasty. Shao Shude felt that not all 20 people came out, and he felt sorry for the large barren land here.

"Your Highness, there are not many people in our tribe farming, and there may be difficulties in reclaiming wasteland." Li Shaoye said suddenly.

"This matter will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and Sinong Temple. Don't worry about it." Shao Siwu said: "There are a lot of agricultural students now, and they are all waiting to accumulate credit for promotion. If you don't know how to farm, just learn In addition, taking care of livestock is your strong point, so don't let this kind of craftsmanship go, and live a good life." "Your Highness is saying that you are farming while grazing?" Li Shaoye asked in surprise.

"No." Shao Siwu was a little dissatisfied. Recently, his heart was full of worries and he was not in a good mood, but he still replied to the two of them for the last time, only to hear him say: "This herd is not that herd. Farming. Let me ask you something, two acres of land of the same size, one acre is left to be barren and covered with weeds, and one acre is full of pasture grass that cattle and sheep love to eat and grows the fastest. Which one do you think is better? ?”

"Of course it's pasture." Li Shaoxing replied without thinking. "That's right." Shao Siwu said: "In the past, you only knew how to graze, and the fields were all barren. What agronomy taught you is how to grow pasture, just like growing corn and wheat."

How about saying that the prairie people are backward.They don't even have the concept of cultivating pasture seeds and increasing pasture production
Yes, they only know that they live by aquatic plants, and their production efficiency is very low.

People in agronomy just want to tell them that I have a more efficient way than you to raise livestock.

Planting pasture is actually the same as planting wheat.If the wheat fields are left alone and are full of wild wheat and weeds, the harvest will be equally impressive.If the farmland is planted with high-quality pasture grass—and it is a nitrogen-fixing leguminous pasture grass—carefully managed, it can produce much higher yields than your current blind grazing, and it can also feed more livestock.

Hearing Shao Siwu's words, Li Shaoye and Li Neng looked at each other.

If it was said that Xia Jun's powerful fighting power made them terrified, then Shao Siwu's words just now made them feel the despair from the bone marrow.

Could it be that the Central Plains people can also grow cattle, sheep, horses and camels that far exceed the grasslands by planting huge-yielding pastures?If this assumption is true, then the grassland is likely to have nowhere to turn.

No one has money, no one has many soldiers, no one has good weapons, if you don't even have the advantage of horses, how can you fight against them?Is it all about being brave?Maybe, but I don't know how many times the difficulty is higher.

"Be more honest in the future." Shao Siwu glanced at the two of them and said. "The two of you have performed very well this time. You may be rewarded with official positions and wealth. If you are lucky, you may even have a flat in Luoyang. Don't sit on the sky, the saint is here Guanbei, Helong, and Guanzhong have been in business for more than [-] years, not to mention that every household has horses, but if there is a large-scale recruiting, hundreds of thousands of horses can be obtained at your fingertips. Your capital is not enough to look at.”

Li Shaoye and Li Neng were speechless.

What kind of monster is Shao Sheng?He seems to be "Huming" the entire Central Plains.

"Quickly handle the errands." Shao Siwu said with a flick of his horsewhip, "All the descendants, men, women, old and young, sent one to Laoting and the other to Nigukou."

Nigukou is the later Dagukou, located at the junction of Youzhou and Cangzhou.Since the Jin Dynasty, there have been sea-going ships going upstream from time to time, sailing into Hanoi to avoid the storms and waves in the open sea.

This is a very good starting place for sailing. Some descendants are sent here. In fact, they intend to use the waterway here to improve transportation efficiency-theoretically speaking, ships will also be congested. For the Fubing trilogy, naturally any port must be used.
