Han Dao world

Chapter 250
Liu Xie swept his gaze and saw Pei Mao behind Shaofu Tian Fen.

Pei Mao was looking at Liu Xie nervously.The moment their eyes met, Pei Mao flinched and lowered his eyelids.

His hands were folded in his sleeves, and his palms were full of sweat.

The emperor has been in the barracks outside the city for the past few days, and he hasn't asked to see him, so he doesn't know what the emperor's attitude is towards his previous suggestion.

The year number was one of his temptations.

If the emperor can accept this year name, there is still room for relaxation.

If the emperor disagrees, he can only think of other ways.

Liu Xie saw it clearly, and suddenly felt stunned.

It was suggested that Pei Mao played a big role in the first arrangement, and the others also recognized his influence and accepted his opinions.

It seems that there are six year names to choose from, but in fact the sorting has already explained the problem, and the rest is just a show.

Is that how Jian'an came about in history?

Liu Xie felt that the possibility was extremely high.

After all, Liu Xie at that time was a real bereaved dog, and there was no bargaining condition at all.He remembered that Pei Mao later held the festival in the capacity of Shang Shuling, supervised Duan Yan to repel Li Jue and Guo Si, and even made him a Marquis.

Being able to get such an opportunity should have something to do with him being from Hedong.

Liu Xie cleared his throat. "My lords have worked hard. These six year titles are all excellent. After the catastrophe, if I want to build peace and live in Anyi, how about using Jian'an as the title?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhao Wen shouted.

Pei Mao breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the crowd in shouting for Shengming.

Liu Xie put down the memorabilia in his hand, clenched his right hand into a fist, and tapped lightly on the table.

Everyone immediately quieted down, staring and listening.

"Shang Shu Ling." Liu Xie looked at Pei Mao again.

Pei Mao's heart tightened, and he quickly got up and went out. "The minister is here."

Countless pairs of eyes looked over, especially those who knew the inside story.

At this moment, when the emperor called Pei Mao's name, he naturally meant something.

"Is the wish I made just now, Shang Shuling thinks, is it possible to realize it?"

Pei Mao replied: "What your Majesty promised is exactly what I want. The monarch and ministers are united, so why not overcome it? Even if it is a hundred times more difficult than the Wangwu Mountain in front of you, the ministers are willing to follow the story of the foolish old man together with your majesty. Continue, razing the danger."

Liu Xie nodded slightly.

Pei Mao was very smart and didn't say anything to death.

But you still answered too quickly and didn't see what the real point was.

Liu Xie's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, seeing all kinds of expressions.

Some are excited, some are silent, some frown, some are calm.

"Does anyone think it's not feasible?" Liu Xie smiled slightly. "If you have different opinions, you may wish to raise them. I am willing to discuss with you."

No one spoke, only someone sighed softly.

Liu Xie didn't go to see it either.No matter who sighs, it means acceptance without speaking.

"I am very relieved to be able to have all the kings assisting the prime minister. I also hope that all the kings can work together with me to practice the king's way and benefit the people. If one person is in the corner, the whole seat will be unhappy. If ten people are seated, nine people will be unhappy, and one person will not be happy." Can you sit comfortably? Does the Minister think so?"

Pei Mao didn't understand why, but he had no way to refute, so he could only bow down and salute.

"Your Majesty said it very well."

"Since I have the support of Shang Shuling, I will ask Shang Shuling to work hard and go to Baibo Valley to surrender, how about it?"

Only then did Pei Mao come to his senses, and couldn't help smiling wryly.

It turned out that the emperor made such a big circle to ask him to go to Baibo Valley to recruit the Baibo army.

How difficult is this?

"Your Majesty wants to recruit the generals of Baibo, sincerely to be a benevolent government. The minister is willing to go."

"Very good." Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu. "Mr. Xunfu."

Xun Yu stood up and went out. "The minister is here."

"If you want to recruit the Baibo army and make them households so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, farms and houses are essential. How many vacant fields are there in the east of the river to cultivate? How many vacant houses are there to live in?"

Xun Yu bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there were more than [-] households in Hedong, but now there are only [-] households left. There are many vacant farms and houses, which can not only accommodate the Baibo army, but also have a lot of surplus."

"How many households can Anyi resettle?"

"Anyi was originally a large county with more than [-] households, but now there are only [-] households left. Roughly estimated, [-] to [-] households can be resettled."

Liu Xie nodded. "Anyi is both a county government and an administrative office. If there is not enough household registration, it will be difficult to support the expenditure of the court. The Baibo troops recruited to surrender should be placed in Anyi first, and the rest should be arranged in surrounding counties to avoid long-distance transfers. increase consumption."

"Wei." Xun Yu calmly responded and stepped back.

"Shang Shuling, do you have any additional comments?"

Pei Mao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

The emperor's move was too ruthless, leaving him no room to maneuver.

Recruiting the Baibo army to fill the fields and houses left by the loss of household registration seems reasonable, but in fact it is very problematic.

At least half of those lost household registrations just disappeared from the accounts of the imperial court. In fact, both the people and the land are there, but they have become tributaries and vassals of the big clan, which is the so-called hermit household.

Now the emperor recruits the Baibo army to fill the gap according to the figures in the book, so it doesn't matter if the account is really lost, what about the hidden account?
It is impossible for Xun Yu not to know this, but he agrees with the emperor, which shows that he is very disgusted with the threat of the Haodong clan to threaten the court, and it is intentional.

Pei Mao thought about it quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, most of the lost household registrations are escapes, not deaths. Now Your Majesty is promoting the east of the river to appease the people, and the people will return after hearing the news. Returning will inevitably lead to resentment, but it has failed His Majesty's original intention. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Liu Xieyang raised his eyebrows and murmured: "Shang Shuling said that there is indeed some truth. Do you have a solution?"

Before the words finished, Liu Ba got up. "Your Majesty, I have a plan to solve the difficulties that Shang Shuling said."

"You say." Liu Xie was very pleased.

This outsider doesn't have so many interests entangled, just dare to do it.

Pei Mao also looked at Liu Ba, the beads of sweat on his forehead became denser.

But Liu Ba didn't look at Pei Mao, and said calmly: "Just now Lord Xunfu said that there are more than [-] households in Hedong, which is indeed true, but these [-] households are not the number with the most registered households in Hedong. At that time, there were more than [-] households. Even if the people were wandering and eating at that time, the arable land was enough for [-] to [-] households to cultivate."

"Really?" Liu Xie looked at Pei Mao in surprise.

Pei Mao nodded helplessly. "That's true, but that happened three hundred years ago. Since Guangwu Zhongxing, there have been no more than [-] households in Hedong."

"how so?"

"I'm stupid, I don't know why." Pei Mao couldn't answer, so he could only push that he didn't know.

Liu Xie didn't ask any further questions, and looked at Liu Ba again.

Liu Ba went on to say: "Besides, the Baibo army was originally the people of Hedong. The reason why they fell into bandits was that they were either deceived or confused by others. Today's son Shengming pardoned their crimes and ordered them to return to their original places to occupy the land. There is no need to occupy people's fields and houses. Even if there is a conflict, they can be resettled in nearby counties. Along the way, there are many abandoned farmlands in Hongnong County, which can be resettled by the people returning from Jingzhou."

Liu Xie looked at Pei Mao. "Does Shang Shu Ling think it is acceptable?"

Pei Mao sighed. "Your Majesty, this plan is indeed feasible. It's just that everyone loves to move back to the original place. If it can be arranged in the original place, it is naturally best to return to the original place."

Liu Xie nodded. "Okay, let's give it a few more days. Those who return to their hometown before spring plowing can return to their original place of residence. Those who return to their hometown after spring plowing will be resettled in nearby counties. Anyi does not follow this rule, and is limited to before the New Year."

"Wei." Liu Ba said loudly.
