Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 753
As Liu Chan finalized the matter of moving the capital, after everyone knew who moved to Chang'an because of his native place, some Bashu scholars who originally disagreed with moving the capital changed their minds to support the Han's moving the capital.

These people originally thought that there would be them in the past when the imperial court moved the capital, but they didn't expect that His Majesty only wanted Sanfu and the northern gentry to migrate, and it had nothing to do with them. .

Since the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, almost every ruler has attached great importance to the Dongzhou gentry, and the Dongzhou gentry has almost swelled up, and has started a conflict of interest with the Bashu gentry, not only in official positions, but also in the means of production.

Especially the veteran nobles who followed Liu Bei to Shu. They traveled with Liu Bei for half their lives. When Liu Bei conquered the capital of Shu, they gave them all the land, houses, money and food, and because they served as the foundation for the great Han to gain a foothold in Bashu.With the help of the state apparatus, these veteran nobles squeezed the living resources of the Bashu nobles more seriously.

For example, Liu Yan, the first clan official executed by Liu Chan, was annexing fields, colluding with officials, and forcing people to rebel.When Liu Chan forced Liu Yan to death, it was not only for the seriousness of morals, but also for the factor of easing the relationship between the big man and the people of Bashu.

Now when they know that these Dongzhou, Northern, and veteran gentry will move to Chang'an with the big Han, they don't object, but agree.The departure of these people will give up a lot of survival resources, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it, and they can also have more places to serve as officials in Yizhou.

However, the knowledgeable Bashu gentry are also calling for the big Han to move their capital, but whether they can set up a southern capital in Chengdu as an accompanying capital.After all, they knew that once Bashu lost its capital, their Bashu scholars would gradually lag behind Guanzhong scholars in obtaining the political resources of the Han Dynasty, let alone Jingxiang scholars.

At the court meeting, Liu Chan was dressed in a crown suit and sat on the couch, and all the officials sat in rows.

Taichang Du Qiong held a wat board and was playing the content. At this time, he changed his previous statement of delaying the capital move, but supported the Han Dynasty to move the capital.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Chang'an looks down on the Central Plains and dominates the world. It can be the capital of the Celestial Dynasty. Moreover, the method of moving the capital as mentioned by Master Guan is very feasible, and there is nothing wrong with moving the capital to Chang'an. However, the population of Guanzhong is withered, and the Hu people are mixed with the Northwest. , located at the border, the flames of war can be seen in the morning and the sun." Du Qiong cupped his hands and said.

Guan Xing was appointed by Liu Chan as a general master craftsman. He was in charge of the civil construction of palaces, ancestral temples, mausoleums, etc., with a rank of two thousand stones, and was responsible for the construction of the palace city.

"Chengdu is the place where the Han Dynasty prospered. The first emperor established a country in Chengdu. It has Dujiangyan, a thousand miles of fertile land, and it is named "Luhai". As a matter of fact, Your Majesty can also come to Chengdu from Chang'an. The old minister thought that I, a big man, can set Chengdu as the southern capital, and use it as a follow-up."

It has to be said that the Bashu scholars have inner conflicts. On the one hand, they do not want to follow the big man to Chang'an and lose the foundation of their clan.On the one hand, they worry about losing Chengdu's role as the capital and losing political resources.

However, the desire to accompany the capital is not only targeted by the Bashu gentry, but also people from the region.After Du Qiong finished speaking, Yinzong from Jingzhou also came out and asked for a report.

Yinzong, the Yin family of Jingzhou, who offered his sisters in Wancheng to ask for merit, was promoted by Liu Chan as a servant after the war, and then moved to Shangshu.

"Your Majesty, Nanyang has been prosperous for a long time. There are all kinds of fertile fields and fields. It is also known as land and sea. It is located in Jingzhou. It can reach the Central Plains in the north and attack Wei with troops; it can go to the left of the river in the south to clamp down on the Wu people. It is indeed a military and dangerous place. The old minister thinks that I, a great man, can set up Nanyang as the accompanying capital." Yin Zong said with his head bowed.

Yinzong's memorials seem to have opened up ideas for the ministers of the Han Dynasty, and Gong Lu, a scholar from the Brazilian county, also got involved, and the memorials can be set up in Jiangzhou or Hanzhong.Xi Zhong from Xiangyang said that it might be possible to set up a companion capital in Xiangyang.

Everyone saw that His Majesty did not speak, and for a while, the court started a heated debate about the matter of the big man accompanying the capital.Scholars in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty tried to find a companion capital for their hometown, thinking that they would gain more political resources in the future.

Interestingly, Du Qiong and Qiao Zhou, who originally argued about moving the capital to Chang'an, now stand together and argue with Nanyang scholars over the issue of whether Chengdu should be the accompanying capital, and strongly recommend Chengdu as the accompanying capital of the Han Dynasty.

But Naogui Nao, Nanyang and Chengdu are the most discussed in the capital. After all, these two places have the most officials of the Han Dynasty, so they have the greatest say.

After a long time, Liu Chan coughed lightly. Although his voice was low, everyone who was arguing couldn't help but quiet down, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Liu Chan glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of accompanying the capital is no small matter. How can you be like a woman arguing in the city?"

"Your servant is guilty." Everyone bowed in response.

Liu Chan didn't ask for too much responsibility, but said lightly: "Du Qing's words are reasonable. Although Chengdu is stable in the southwest, it is rich in food, grass, soldiers and horses. It cannot be the capital of the country, but it can be an accompanying capital."

In the past dynasties, the choice of the accompanying capital was basically inseparable from economic and military factors.Therefore, compared with Nanyang and Xiangyang mentioned by everyone as the location of the accompanying capital, Chengdu is more reliable for now.

For example, Zhou established Haojing as his capital, and dealt with state affairs in Haojing.However, they set Luoyang as the accompanying capital, and the tributes of the princes from all over the country were concentrated here. The supply of food and grass, the distribution of materials and the salaries of officials all spread around from Luoyang.

Or Songzhou (now Shangqiu), the accompanying capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of the convenient transportation in Songzhou, the taxation of goods and materials from the southeastern region to Bianjing must also pass through Songzhou, so Songzhou became the accompanying capital.

The same is true for the situation of the big Han. The big Han can move his capital to Chang'an, where he can rule the big Han and manage government affairs.But Chengdu is still the economic center of the Han Dynasty and the political center of the Southwest. The Shu brocade, the pillar industry of the Han Dynasty, is located in Chengdu, and the complex situation of ruling the Southwest cannot be separated from Chengdu.At the same time, central Shu still has the largest number of household registrations of Han, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be recruited from here to fight in the Central Plains.The above functions are beyond what Changan can do.

Of course, there is one more point. Yizhou is too large. If Chengdu, the state government, is not set as the accompanying capital, it will be very inconvenient for the big Han to govern Yizhou.However, Liu Chan also has arrangements. After the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an, Liu Chan will divide Yizhou into Liangzhou and Yizhou, reducing the role of Chengdu in the southwest.

As for Ningzhou in Yizhou, we still need to wait for Zhang Yi's further governance of Nanzhong. After all, the Han Kingdom is not in the southwest, and we have to analyze the pros and cons before deciding whether to change it into a state.

"No!" Du Qiong responded with a smile on his face.

But Liu Chan's next sentence made him unable to laugh.Liu Chan added another sentence lightly, saying: "Shu County, Guanghan, Qianwei and other counties in central Shu have not checked the population for a long time. Now I have moved the capital to Chang'an, and Chengdu is the accompanying capital. I still need to check the population of Central Shu and remake the household registration. No matter what the criminal record is, or what the inside information is, the people are able to share the land, exempt from tax for one year, and reduce corvee for two years."

Ma De, Liu Chan will not let these scholars in central Shu succeed. They want to take advantage of it, but they don't want to bleed. How can it be so simple.I didn't see the Tuoba clan of Xianbei becoming the relatives of the Han Dynasty and enjoying the wealth and honor, but their tribe's strong men would enter the Han Dynasty as horsemen, guard the Hehuang Valley, and deter the Qiang people.

Liu Chan had to take advantage of the deterrent power of the big man before he left to do something, or else wait until the big man is far away from Chengdu, because he has to rely on Chengdu and the middle of Shu and dare not do anything.

As for the farmland in the middle of Shu, where did it come from?It's also very simple. Those Sanfu, northern gentry and veteran gentry will be relocated to Chang'an, and the big man will reward them with one and a half times the share of fields and houses in Chang'an, so they will also spit out the acres they occupy, and the income is There are big Han officials.

These unowned fields may be easily annexed by the big clans in central Shu, so it is undoubtedly a good choice to distribute these unowned fields to those hidden households who have escaped from the big clans.

"No!" Jiang Wan accepted the order.
