Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125 Attracting Border Residents
Cui Xuan has always placed his position in a very upright position, and now he is initially clearing up the officialdom and can be the master, otherwise he still has to discuss everything with the princess.

Shen Sanwen also intended to go to Yuanzhou, but was rejected by the princess. Cui Xuan had already been given the power to let him go. If Shen Sanwen went at this time, it would be easy to be regarded as supervision or separation of powers. If there was any disagreement between the two It's not easy to deal with, and with Cui Xuan's arrogance, I'm afraid he can't accept it either.If Shen Sanwen was asked to assist, it would be inappropriate in terms of status.

We still have to wait for the overall situation to be determined before we can jointly govern.

It is not easy to clean up the thirteen counties in Yuanzhou, at least it is much more difficult than simply looking at the text books.

Only Yuanli County has confiscated the farmers' permanent land, and other places have not taken any action. Cui Xuande has personally acted.

Yuanchun County is naturally the first to bear the brunt.

Cui Xuan chose a day to go to the banquet of the rich and powerful in Yuanchun, so he brought up this matter. It is said that many of the land reserved by the imperial court have been transferred to the hands of everyone present, but the total amount of taxes has not been reduced, so it must be distributed to ordinary farming people.Then, Shi Zhiyuan was praised in court for observing the people's sentiments as an official and putting the country as the most important thing. He was ordered to find out the details of the territory within three days.

In order to gain Cui Xuan's trust, Shi Zhiyuan was pissed off by many fellow villagers during this period, so he showed no mercy and settled all old and new accounts.He is a local, and he knows the local area better than Cui Xuan. In three days, he has issued orders to the major families and meritorious nobles to return the specific amount of land.

Now that the fat that has been swallowed has to be spit out, many people are dissatisfied, and it also makes them realize that this change will still be implemented throughout Yuanzhou.

All of a sudden, people in Yuanzhou were in a state of panic, but the aristocratic families were fine, and the heads of the families issued a clear order to endure the anger for a while, so as not to worry for a hundred days.

It's just Yuanzhou Xungui, but he couldn't bear this tone.

Most of the nobles were born in the military, and they were not good at the literati's honeyed belly sword. It has been passed down for a generation or two, and it is still the same.The aristocratic family also contributed to the flames, and for a while, Yuanchun County attracted attention.

This trouble caused Shi Zhiyuan a bad luck.

Local officials aroused public resentment, and mutiny by the people was a capital offense.The supporters of Wudan added fuel to the matter and reported it to the Emperor Wu, which meant that the people were dissatisfied with the princess.

However, the reason for the mutiny is very important. If it is because the Xungui invaded the fertile land, the taxation of the people will increase, and the local officials will protect each other, and the whole Yuanzhou County will be trembling.

In the end, the two sides combined and reached a consensus. It is only said that at this time Zhiyuan and his master Shi Zhizhuan forced to buy the land, which caused everyone's dissatisfaction, so this series of things happened.Not only did Shi Zhiyuan fail to gain Cui Xuan's trust, Yao Chong did not cling anywhere, but he paid a painful price.

Naturally, Cui Xuan would not be merciful, so he packaged the matter in a booklet, and also specifically stated the relationship between Shi Zhiyuan and Yao Chong, and the two had correspondence.Yao Chong's actions are Wu Dan's actions, so although everyone will be afraid of Wu Dan, but at the same time, they will also leave an impression of playing tricks behind their backs. For the prince of a country, using such a person to do shady things, many people who are self-sufficient People who boast of being noble will also stay away from them.

Emperor Wu received the memorial sent by the princess, but calmly ordered the matter to be handled by the princess. Since the local affairs have been clarified and everything is done according to the law, Shi Zhiyuan's brother was executed and his family was confiscated as slaves.

It's more difficult to have the county magistrate in Yuanchun County take the lead, and there are many opposing forces inside. If the second brother of the Shi family is punished, the others should also stop.Cui Xuan calmly expressed his willingness to live in harmony with everyone, and pointed out that the real way to get rich is not to squeeze and deprive farmers of good land, but to enrich the people, and then use these labor forces to engage in more activities, hello, hello everyone Well, in the future, Wonju will surely become one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

This was also discussed when we came here. When roads need to be repaired or handicrafts need to be developed, these people still need to contribute. Be honest in advance so that they can be prepared.

There are many ways to clean up the officialdom.Lan Chengan used the simplest and most brutal method, and Cui Xuan used the roundabout method to preserve the production vitality of Yuanchun County to the greatest extent.If it is really head-to-head, it will not only waste time, but also arouse new opposition forces.

As long as Yuanchun County can make major changes within three months, I believe other counties will follow suit.

The roads at this time are mostly dirt roads, and some are gravel roads occasionally. When it rains, the ground will be muddy. The carriages repeatedly enter the carriage holes, and then pushed out by people, which takes time and effort.The rainy season is like this every year.It caused great inconvenience to the transportation of local products and grain cloth here in Yuanchun to other places.Sometimes the rain is strong and the wind is strong, and the goods will be wet, causing damage to the goods.For four months in a year, no commercial activities can be carried out.

However, if the road is repaired and the horse-drawn carriage capacity is enhanced, not to mention business opportunities for four months, many businessmen will also use the road to walk, and people will come and go, which can bring many opportunities for local people to become rich.

Yuanchun County is close to Qingzhou, and the roads in this area will be built first. Cui Xuan still has the intention of attracting the border residents of the two states.

Dazhou’s household registration management is strict, and birth registration is required. If a farmer has been farming in one place all his life, he will be a resident of this place all his life.However, if there are important matters such as going to relatives and friends, learning art from a teacher, etc., you can apply to the household registration office for migration. The scope of migration is limited, that is, you can only move to Linzhou.If the two states are too far away, they can only live in another country for the rest of their lives, and return to the country for burial when they are old, which is regarded as returning to their roots.

Of course, there are also many abnormal cases of migration, that is, a large number of migration and escape.For example, when Di Renjie was in Xiazhou, many residents from the surrounding states of Xiazhou poured in. This is the recognition of an official, and it can be regarded as a sincere support.If there is a large-scale immigration, it is usually because the officials in Yuanzhou are tyrannical, or the officials in Xinzhou love the people like children.There are also officials who expressly forbid to relocate their nationality for the sake of their political achievements, and the people really can’t survive, so they can only leave their hometowns and hide their names and become a homeless person. They cannot live in a shop, marry and have children, and cannot buy land and real estate. as a slave.

Cui Xuanxian started from Yuanchun, hoping to improve the living standards of the people in Yuanchun as soon as possible, and then spread the word to hundreds of people, making a resounding reputation and attracting the people of Gyeongju.Firstly, this means that the princess has defeated Wudan, and he himself has defeated Yao Chong; secondly, this is an ironclad proof of political achievements. In the future, no one can refute the princess's knowledge of people and leadership ability in the court.
