Chapter 959 Grassland
Kanto was cleaned up and down.

There are a large number of vacancies for scholars who graduated from Taixue, and many of them have been sitting on the bench for many years.

Retired soldiers also have a place to stay.

This inspection of Kanto is no different from an operation for Daqin, cleaning up the rotten body and making the whole country healthier.

The real family background of the entire Kanto has also come out, 760 million mu, with a population of 270 million households, or about 500 million.

This data is basically consistent with the short-lived Taikang prosperity in history.

Including the population and fields in Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Western Regions, and Jiangdong, the population of Daqin is about 400 million, and the arable land area is about [-] million mu.

Knowing how many people there are can accurately collect how much tax, knowing how much farmland can be collected, and how much tax can be collected, so that the country can run normally and healthily.

Of course, the current Great Qin has a larger territory than the Western Jin Dynasty in history.

Actual control of Liaodong, Southern Xinjiang, and Monan.

The important areas along the Silk Road are also basically in the hands, and the Dawan Basin, the Seven River Basin, and the middle of the river have also been added.

On the contrary, it seems that these populations are a bit thin.

It is precisely because of insufficient population that cultivated land is mainly concentrated in the Yellow River Basin such as the Central Plains and Guanzhong. The Yangtze River Basin in the south is not fully developed and is mainly concentrated in Jianghuai, Jingxiang, and Jiaozhi in the south.

Yang Zheng is not in a hurry to develop the land, he always needs to leave room for future generations to develop.

More than 4 million mu of cultivated land, plus pastures on the grasslands, is enough for the current population of Daqin to eat and drink.

Yang Xu wrote a letter requesting to continue to investigate the entire Jiangdong.

He has more than 3 elite Chinese troops with him, and Jiangdong also has Wang Jun to cooperate, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After the unification of the world, Yang Zheng actually didn't pay much attention to Jiangdong, nor did he put too much energy into it. The population and land were calculated according to the data in the classics of the Wu Kingdom.

With the smog in the court of Wu State, the powerful gentry are about to go to the house to expose the tiles, so one can imagine how much water there is in the data.

Yang Zheng then wrote back, asking Yang Xu to let go.

Only by seeing the most authentic Daqin can we govern better in the future.

Yang Zheng's mind was on the pasture.

One of the main reasons for the gradual desertification of Monan in later generations is overgrazing. There are more sheep and less grass.

The historical Henan land was the fertile grassland of the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

He Lianbo was fascinated by the green mountains and beautiful waters here, so he recruited [-] husbands, worked for six years, and spent hundreds of millions to build a Tongwan city.

But in the mid-Tang Dynasty, because too many party members moved in and over-grazing, it gradually turned into a desert.

The same is true for Monan.

To the north of Yinshan Mountain, the desert stretches to the sky, which is also caused by the excessive grazing of the Huns and Xianbei.

Fortunately, desertification is not very serious in this era.

Many rivers did not dry up either.

After discussing with the officials of the three provinces, it was decided to adopt the same strategy as that of Tanshihuai and divide Monan into five parts.

One is to break up the grassland to facilitate management and prevent the rise of tribes, and the other is to adopt a rotational grazing system to allow the grassland to be cultivated.

The Jinshan Mountain Range is set as Jinshan Mansion, the grassland between Juyan and Yanran Mountain is set as Yanran Mansion, the grassland from Helan Mountain to the north of Daijun is set as Monan Mansion, and the grassland from Shanggu County to the west of Daxianbei Mountain is set as Xing’an Mansion. Daxianbei Mountain is Daxing'an Mountain, and the grassland to the north and east of Daxing'an Mountain is called Songmofu.

Each government stationed [-] elite cavalry, [-] herders, and divided them into four to five pastures.

Break up the entire grassland to avoid the emergence of powerful tribes.

All tribes that are no longer above the household registration of the Great Qin can be conquered at will.

If the population of any tribe reaches [-] accounts, half of them will be forced to migrate to the interior.

The children of the nobles of each tribe need to study in Taixue for three years. Yang Zheng prepared a room full of Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures and Taoist collections for them, and encouraged them to become monks and Taoists.

Of course, the grassland is too big.

The area that the current Daqin can control is only the area south of Yanran Mountain and Guyan Mountain, and the areas further north and west cannot be covered.

Even if it can be occupied briefly, it cannot be controlled for a long time.

Even the Qin people of Xianbei and Xiongnu descent could not adapt to the bitter cold and harsh environment there.

Everything is cost-effective.

Forced to build cities in those areas, it is likely that decades later, the wild tribes in Mobei will be exposed to the flames of Chinese civilization and become the place where they rise.

If you can't chew too much, Daqin already has enough land.

With the productivity of this era, it is really impossible to control such a distant place.

So Yang Zheng could only make a fuss about people's hearts.

Encouraging eminent monks, great Confucianists, and Taoists to enter the desert, enlighten various ministries, and build Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and Confucian temples on the grasslands, the Xuanyi Division also made various efforts.

Even in the era of the information explosion in later generations, there are still a large number of people who have been fooled by Western public opinion, let alone this era?
Daqin can be said to be the most gentle to the grassland tribes among the dynasties of all dynasties.

Under normal circumstances, try not to use the knife if you can.

Also actively accept them, slaves, waiting to return, and governing the people, one-stop service, after more than ten years, they can become Qin people.

This was unimaginable in the Han and Wei dynasties.

However, the most aggressive one is Buddhism.

When they heard that they could spread Buddhism in the grassland at will, the monks in Guzang seemed to have been beaten to death.

Spread in the Central Plains, it is both a degree and a household registration, and the management is extremely strict. It is not easy to become a monk, and it is not easy to open a temple.

On the grassland, you can expand at will.

This is very attractive to monks.

They can travel tens of thousands of miles from Tianzhu, all the way through Central Asia, the Western Regions, and enter the Central Plains, which shows their vitality.

Confucianism and Taoism are a little worse in this regard.

At this time, Taoism is still in the development stage, and the theory of religion and religion is not yet mature. In addition, Taoism advocates a willful nature, so there is no interest in expansion.

Confucianism has always despised the surrounding barbarians, and the tribesmen on the grasslands don’t have to wear poor pants and drink northwest wind every day. Can they be expected to learn from it with peace of mind?

Studying and practicing martial arts requires a certain financial foundation and a lot of time. The people in northern Mobei can't get enough to eat, so they still have the mind to do this?

Unlike Buddhism and Western religions, kowtow a few times a day is a devout believer...

It was because of Yang Zheng's forced request that Confucianism reluctantly went north.

One is to go happily, and the other two are to drive ducks to the shelves, and the gap will naturally come out.

So Yang Zheng can only let Confucianism and Taoism take the elite route, and let Buddhism take the bottom route.

"Confucianism and Taoism are basically the same. Why don't your majesty let Confucianism and Buddhism merge together? Integrate Confucian classics into Buddhist scriptures." Ji Kang, who rarely showed up, heard this and immediately gave Yang Zheng an idea.

Professional matters should be left to professional people.

Isn't the fusion of Confucianism and Buddhism the Zen of later generations?

As long as it can spread Chinese civilization, use whatever is available.

Historically, Buddhism prevailed in the Western Regions, plateaus, and grasslands, which shows the strong vitality of Buddhism.

"Ji Zhongsan is really my great Qin Wenzong!" Yang Zheng praised.
