Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 588 Refugees
Under the handsome bloody banner.

All the generals rushed to report the results of the battle to Luo Cheng.

The situation is very good, good news again and again.

Luo Cheng was a little tired after the war, lazily turning the teacup in his hand, and half leaning on the back of the chair.

"It seems that our efforts were not in vain. We won this battle, and we won it beautifully."

"Dou Jiande suffered heavy casualties. The 4000 men and horses lost [-] yuan, and Dou Jiande's thigh was pierced by a spear." Wei Zheng told Luo Cheng. The phoenix-winged iron helmet was still holding a crossbow machine in his hand, and his body was still stained with blood.

"Old Daoist, are you not injured?" Luo Cheng asked.

"I'm fine, I'll just follow behind and beat the dogs in the water." He said with a smile, "But Dou Jiande has already brought people across the river back to Pingyuan County, and he seems to be leaving in a hurry, as if he was afraid that we would eat them. "

"Are you gone?" Luo Cheng just smiled. He had nothing to do to kill Dou Jiande at this time, so if he didn't leave, Luo Cheng was going to share some of the spoils with him.Even if he left, Dou Jiande's performance this time was pretty good. He was able to lead half of the team to fight for his life. Even getting rid of Zhang Jin said it would be good for him, but for Luo Cheng, his performance is still worthy of praise.

Hou Mo and Chen Yi squeezed over with a bloody sword.

"At present, the war is almost over. We killed nearly 3000 of the [-] Gaojipo thieves, and captured another [-]. There are still some who are fleeing. Decent people are chasing them. I believe they will not run far."

"Where are Qin Qiong and Shi Xin? How are they doing?"

"General Gangqin sent someone to report that Zhang Jincheng's old camp had been broken, and his Supreme Palace had been taken away, and hundreds of poor women and women had been rescued. In addition, in Gaojibo, there were There are dozens of gathering camps, and there are no less than [-] refugees in them."

Zhang Jin said that he looted and looted everywhere, and broke through countless villages and markets. Every time he broke a place, he always looted and burned it all, and then took the people away together. People and young boys are responsible for farming and fishing. In recent years, the population in Gaojibo has been increasing, which is quite remarkable.

"Drive out all the Gaojipo thieves, as well as the refugees in Shuibo, and take them all to Liaodong."

"Take them all to Liaodong? That would add up to more than [-]."

"The more the better, these are thieves or refugees who have been coerced, so there is no burden. We take them to Liaodong and let them farm directly. There is no need to grant them land, and let them be tenants in the farm."

With so much labor, what is there not to be happy about?

The government soldiers and their families moved, and they had to be given land. Although Liaodong was a newly occupied land, there was still enough land.These refugees are regarded as criminals. If they get here, they don't need to divide the land and grant land, but let them farm the fields and reclaim wasteland. They are regarded as tenants and tenants.

"But there are many old and weak women and children among these refugees."

"That's okay, you can put a few families, or a group of ten or eight people, and let them live and farm together, support each other, help and take care of each other, so that it will be beneficial to reclaim wasteland in the past."

Wei Zheng reminded Luo Cheng.

"We have recruited more than 3 refugees from Henan to Hebei along the way. If we take away another [-] people, the Yamen of Hebei's appeasement envoy will probably not be willing?"

How many people did Da Sui have in total?
In the fifth year of Daye, the imperial court counted more than 680 million households, with a population of more than [-] million.Of course, this household registration and number of people did not include the floating guests, trilogy, slaves, and guest women who were attached to the powerful and noble families, as well as a large number of people who were not included in the household statistics such as official households, artisan households, and music households.

The number of hidden households in the Sui Dynasty was slightly smaller, but the number of slaves was large.

Therefore, if only the population is counted, regardless of the status, then the population peak of the Sui Dynasty should be in the seventh year of Daye.

But in the seventh year of the peak, the population should have exceeded 5000 million. It is speculated that the total population should be around 300 million to 500 million.

The imperial court has more than 5 counties, more than 10 counties, and an average population of 1 in each county.Some large counties may have a population of [-] to [-] or even [-], but some small counties may not even have a population of [-].

There are only eighteen counties in Hebei.

For example, in Qinghe County, there are 30 counties with a total of 540 households. This is the official population statistics for five years, and there are only more than 1 households in one county.

As a large county beside the canal and on the Hebei Plain, Qinghe County is indeed a densely populated place. There are eighteen counties in one county, with a total of more than 22 households. This population can catch up with Beijing in Guanzhong. Zhao County is now, and Jingzhao is the capital of Xijing, and Jingzhao has 30 counties, with only 490 households, which is only [-] more households than Qinghe.

The third place is Wuyang County, with more than 21 households, and the fourth place is Henan County in Luoyang, the eastern capital, with more than 20 households.

Basically, although there were more than 200 counties in the Sui Dynasty, the population was basically concentrated in the Guanzhong Plain, Hebei Plain, and Henan Plain. The most populous places were Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei, and Huainan, accounting for two-thirds of the population.

As for Zhangye and Dunhuang in Hexi, there are only [-] to [-] households, and Xiping County and Jiaohe County have only [-] to [-] households.

As for Liaoxi County, which was counted by Daye for five years, there were only more than 700 households at that time.

There are 900 households in Jiaozhi at the southernmost point, [-] households in Jiuzhen, and more than [-] households in Nichinan.

Population has been the most important assessment requirement for local officials in all dynasties.

If it is added to the mouth, it is excellent, if it is reduced to less, it is too much.

Luo Cheng wanted to take away more than [-] people from Hebei at once. Even though Zhang Jin said that these people were snatched from the counties in the south of Hebei, and some of them were volunteered, they were basically the population of Hebei. .

The sudden loss of more than 220 people is not enough for even the comfort envoy of Hebei.After all, the eighteen counties in Hebei have a total population of 1000 million households, but they only have a population of more than [-] million.Luo Cheng took away more than [-] yuan, that is, he wiped out the population of several counties.

"It's okay. I'll go back and meet my teacher. I believe he will understand. Anyway, these people staying in Hebei is also the source of turmoil. There is no land for them to plow here, and there is no food for them to eat. Why don't you go to Liaodong with me? , Go to Liaodong to farm and reclaim wasteland, at least you can get [-]% of the land income, so it’s no problem to support yourself.”

Li Jing, the pacifier of Hebei, was his teacher.

Besides, these refugees are also troublesome for Li Jing. After all, most of the refugees are actually bankrupt and have no property, no house, and no land. How can Li Jing resettle so many people?

After all, Hebei has a large population, and the land acquisition is the most serious. If they are not properly resettled, these people may become thieves again in a blink of an eye, or even turn themselves into thieves.
