Chapter 383 The Edict of Immigrating to North Korea

"Clang clang clang clang clang!!!"

"Come here, come here, come closer!"

Under the road layout, a young official beat the gong in his hand vigorously, while not forgetting to greet the passing newcomers to come forward.

After Lubu was surrounded by old and young women and children, the little official put down the gong in his hand and smiled flatteringly at the scribes beside him.

I saw the scribes smiled and bowed their hands in return, and just turned sideways, and then bowed their hands to the onlookers.

"Everyone."

"Your Majesty's decree: The new service of the Korean government requires emigration to the real border; all Han people, dukes, and those with Shang and household peasant registrations can go to the local county government and report their names and households..."

Before the scribe could utter the first sentence, the people onlookers all tensed up, as if they were going to disperse.

Even though the little official had more than one family background, the expressions on everyone's faces did not waver at all.

——For ordinary people in Guanzhong, and even the whole world, immigration is no longer a new topic.

As early as the first emperor Yingzheng wiped out the six kingdoms and unified the world, emigrating to the border has become the national policy of the Qin Dynasty.

One year before the Great Qin ruled the world, that is, the 25th year of Qin Shihuang, the 50 South Conquest Army composed of Qin Guanzhong soldiers, led by the coach Tu Sui, crossed the Five Ridges for the first time.

Although the early stage of the war was weak and the commander Tu Sui also died on the battlefield, Qin Ting did not give up on the south, but continued to attack Lingnan with Ren Xiao as the commander and Zhao Tuo as his deputy.

After eight years of continuous conquests, in the 33rd year of the first emperor, Yingzheng finally completed the great cause of pacifying South of the Five Ridges; the whole of South of the Five Ridges was thus included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

And from the 33rd year of the first emperor when Lingnan was pacified, to the 37th year of the first emperor when Yingzheng died in the sand dunes, during this four-year period, there has been a steady stream of civilians from all over the world forcibly relocated to Lingnan.

Among them, the first batch of immigrants who moved to Longchuan County just because Qin Longchuan ordered Zhao Tuo to play, there are tens of thousands of households, as many as 50 people...

In the south, it is "immigrate to strengthen the south of the Five Ridges", and in the north, it is a period of blood and tears that is hard to face.

——Qin Great Wall!

In order to build the Great Wall of Yan, Zhao and other Warring States, and finally form the Great Wall of Qin with a length of more than several miles, countless ordinary people, or "people of the old six countries", were forcibly confiscated to the north to participate in the construction of the Great Wall. construction work.

Of course, Qin's "immigration to the border" was not limited to Lingnan in the south and the Great Wall in the north.

In Southwest Yi, Qin Ting also briefly tried to build a Qin Zhi Road. Although in the end, due to the complex geographical environment and poor traffic conditions, the first emperor Yingzheng, who was unwilling to give up completely, ordered to build a road in that area. In the wild land, there is a "five-foot road" with the characteristics of Ying Qin.

The Baiyue in the south, the Great Wall in the north, plus the "Five Foot Road" of the Southwestern Yi, and the Qin Zhidao that spreads all over the world, criss-crossing, and even extends beyond the Great Wall...
It can only be said that the death of Qin II had almost nothing to do with Zhao Gao and Li Si.

——In this generation, both roads and the Great Wall are projects that rely heavily on manpower!
In order to spread Qin Zhidao across the entire known world, the scope of the Qin court's conscripts has even extended from the "people of the old six countries" to the old Qin people in Guanzhong!
The country's infrastructure work is already complicated and heavy, coupled with the fact that corrupt officials are taking advantage of it, it is inevitable that even the people of the old Qin will abandon the Ying family that day.

——The survivors of your old Ying family Fen VI, we ordinary people, did you contribute a lot?
In the end, the world is unified, your old Ying family doesn't want to let us live a good life, but also wants to take our lives to fill some straight road or the Great Wall?
I can go to your mua!

Hey, who is that? Liu Bang, right?
Yes, just come here, I have something to discuss with you...

In this way, Yingqin Sheji, which has enjoyed the country for more than 600 years and nearly [-] years, was abandoned by the people of the world in the middle of Xianyang City along with the children of the third generation.

And Liu Bang, who entered Xianyang first, made three chapters of the law with the people, and restrained his subordinates to "not commit crimes in autumn", has since won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and finally, he was able to stand on the throne of Han Zuo.

Since the demise of the Qin Dynasty was due to the overwhelmed by the people of the world, including the old Qin people in Guanzhong, who were overwhelmed by the complicated labor and taxation of the Qin Dynasty, and the rise of the Han Dynasty, it was also because of Emperor Taizu Gao's "three chapters of the law" and "no offense in autumn". Everything is a matter of course.

——Contrary to the high-pressure policy of the Qin court, almost on the first day of succeeding the emperor, Liu Bang set a national policy for the Han Dynasty: light corvee and low taxes, reform with the people, and let the world recuperate.

Immediately afterwards, Prime Minister Xiao He stitched up a "Han Law" that was roughly the same, but more humane and humane, on the basis of "Qin Law".

The biggest surprise between "Qin Law" and "Han Law" is that, unlike "Qin Law" which often "sit together" and "clan punish" violence, "Han Law" has more "fines". ''Demotion' and other milder words.

This is especially reflected in the aspects of labor and military service.

In the "Qin Law", no matter whether it is labor service or military service, it is like Smecta in later generations, and it is mandatory;
It's not that the "Qin Law" requires everyone to be a soldier, but that when someone is designated as a "soldier", the designated person must be called, and there is no room for conversion.

If he refuses to be called, the result will be the same as that of Smecta in later generations - he will be punished as treason;

As for the punishment, the appalling "family punishment" and "even sitting" package came, and all relatives and neighbors died.

In history, there is also a theory related to it, which is well-known in later generations.

In the first case, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were summoned to defend Yuyang as "garrison soldiers". The time limit was delayed due to road damage on the way, so they had to stand up and resist, which set off the famous Daze Township Uprising;

As for the second example, it is Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the transformation process from "Qin Sishui pavilion chief" to "grass bandit".

——Like most counties and counties in the world, Pei County at that time was also conscripted by the Qin court and sent to Lishan to build the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

And Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County, handed over the arduous task of escorting labor to his old acquaintance: Liu Bang, the head of the Sishui pavilion.

Xiao He dispatched him, and Liu Bang had no doubts about him, so he led a group of laborers and embarked on a long journey to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, a few people in the team ran away at night when they heard the rumors that "labor labor leaves the country, never returns"!

However, in the relevant provisions of the "Qin Law", if someone in the labor force flees privately, the entire team needs to sit together...

In desperation, Liu Bang could only give up his plan to go to Guanzhong, and called the rest together and said: Someone slipped away. Even if we arrive on time now, we will have to sit and die. A way out.

Then, when Peigong was hangover, he killed the white snake at night, turned the grass into a bandit, until the death of the first emperor, and the world was in chaos...

From these two things, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion: how strict the "Qin Law" is for military service and labor service, and how often the word "lianzuo" appears in the "Qin Law".

In stark contrast, when Xiao He drafted the "Law of the Han Dynasty", he obviously absorbed the lessons of "Chen Sheng, Wu Guangda Ze Township Uprising" and "Pei Gong released the prisoner and turned the grass into a bandit";

In the regulations on military service and labor service, Xiao He modified the "must" and "sit together" in the "Qin Law" without any trace.

——According to the regulations of the Han Law, military service and labor service shall be selected by the county-level units in units of "households" in accordance with the method of lottery;

The selected families need to send a man over 17 years old to participate in the specific work.

Unlike the mandatory requirements in the "Qin Law", in the "Han Law" there is an opening for the situation of "the callee is unwilling to serve".

——Those who are unwilling to serve can pay to hire others to replace themselves, or directly pay the employment fee, and the local government will hire others.

Although in most cases, the people who are called will still serve in person, but after all, it is out of consideration of 'saving money';

Compared with the "must go!" in "Qin Fa"If you don't go, you will die! ', the human touch of 'If you don't want to go, you can pay' and 'If you can't find someone, you can go again next time' in "Han Law", obviously makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

Furthermore, such humanized regulations also give the people more room for choice.

For example, labor, if it is such easy work as road maintenance and channel dredging, people can naturally go there in person, so as to save money for the family;

But if it is a high-risk job such as the construction of cities and tombs, the common people are happy to pay to hire other people to avoid the risk of "family ruin and death".

As for who will be hired by the people to participate in more dangerous labor?

——A servant of a rich family was raised to do this!
Unlike most feudal regimes: the Han Dynasty conscripted labor to participate in infrastructure work, and it was not completely free~
One meal a day, five dollars, is almost the 'minimum standard' everywhere in the world.

Although such a standard is pitifully small for ordinary people, it is very impressive for servants raised by rich people.

—Slave!

——The ordinary people only eat two meals a day, and they are only [-]% full. The slaves can eat one meal a day, which is already a rare good day!

As for the five-dollar "conscript subsidy" and the "employment money" paid by the common people, they naturally went into the pockets of the slave owners.

In this way, the country can complete the infrastructure goals, and the local government can complete the conscript targets;
The common people were able to avoid high-risk jobs, and the slave owners received a government subsidy, a sum of employment money, and some people provided food and lodging for the slaves!

It can be described as a real four wins, hello, hello, hello everyone.

And under such a political and era background, it is inevitable that the people of the Han family will naturally resist and resist "labor labor".

——The emperor Lao Tzu has to ask the opinions of the common people when he conscripts labor, even if we have to go, we can spend money to hire people!
You, a small official with a thousand sons and eight hundred stones, still want to force us?
close the door!

Please three elders!
Even when the government conscripts labor, the common people have the confidence not to go, let alone 'immigrate to the frontier'.

As long as it is not compulsory, no one is willing to leave their hometown, abandon their family and business, and go to places where the birds don't shit.

As for compulsion?

——Your old Liu's house, is Jiangshan sitting too comfortably?

——Look up, take a look!
——Across the Wei River from Chang'an, it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lishan Mountain! ! !
Seeing that everyone just heard the word 'immigration', they made a gesture of rushing away, the scribe couldn't help but look bitter.

It wasn't until the little official coerced and lured everyone back, that the scribes cheered up again and looked in front of them with guarded and suspicious eyes.

"Everyone, don't rush away, don't rush away..."

"Your Majesty's edict is not to force the people to emigrate to North Korea, but to encourage the people to go there spontaneously."

"Even if you don't want to go, you can stay calm and don't be impatient. After hearing the hadith, it's not too late to go?"

He said something with a stiff smile, and seeing everyone stop half-believing, the scribe finally heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to delay for another moment, and hurriedly explained the content of the "Immigration Edict" on Lubu.

"Your Majesty said: The place of the new Korean clothes is vast and sparsely populated. Although it is slightly cold, the arable soil is extremely wide, the rivers and mountains are closed, and the soil is very fertile!"

"In the mountains and forests, Nian beasts emerge endlessly, and there are no raptors and beasts."

"Thus, those who immigrated to North Korea were not on the real frontier, but could not bear to live in such a fertile land for barbarians..."

The scribe spoke eloquently, but it didn't arouse the interest of the audience at all, and he still said, "Have you finished?"Can I go? 'The indifferent expression.

Seeing this, the scholar had no choice but to smile wryly again, and continued: "Your Majesty issued an order: Anyone who wishes to go to North Korea will be given two hundred acres of land!"

"Big mu!!!"

"In addition to the fields, there are also brick houses and farmyards, and every hundred households will be given a farming ox!"

"more than this······"

The more the scribes spoke, the more excited they became, but the audience finally couldn't hold back any longer, and dispersed indifferently, heading towards their homes in twos and threes.

Two hundred mu of field, one brick house, one farmyard, plus 'one cow for one hundred households'...

At first glance, it is indeed very attractive.

But no matter how extravagant the scribe's words were, they couldn't adapt a reality after all.

——These things have to go to North Korea before they can be distributed to everyone;
However, the local feelings engraved deep in the soul of the Chinese people make it impossible for every Chinese person to be willing to go far away as long as they can survive in their hometown.

Of course, if it is a metropolis like Chang'an and Luoyang, or a metropolis like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in later generations, it's two things.

But even in later generations, leaving home to go to the Western Regions and plateaus is ultimately what most people are unwilling to do.

No matter how much money is paid, how many fields are distributed, and how beautiful the future is promised, it is the same.

Seeing that the crowd dispersed, the scribe just lowered his head stiffly, as if he was reflecting on his own words, whether there was something wrong with it;
As for the little official at the side, he knelt down on the ground in the direction where everyone was leaving, dazed.

——The county magistrate promised: for each person who signs up, two people will be rewarded with ten dollars each...
Just when the scribes and petty officials were extremely disappointed and were thinking about whether they should continue to stay under Lubu tomorrow and interpret the "Immigration to Korea Edict" to the local people, a thin figure quietly walked out of the street not far away.

He walked up furtively, and looked at Lubu half-understood. The young man finally got the courage to pull Lavinshi's sleeve lightly.

"I, Wutian, Zhai, Sir... Sir Duke..."

"If I go to North Korea, I have to eat and spend on the way, and I have no money to buy it..."

PS: Gongshi, the first level of the Qin and Han [-]th Military Merit Lords, which is the lowest level.

No matter how lower than a public official, it means 'No Jue'.

What is Wujue?
Either they are minors who haven't been 'shifu' yet, are not divided into families, and still live with their parents, or they are slaves.
