Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 452

From 50 to 200 AD, Luo Zheng ordered immigration three times, moving [-] households and [-] million people in Hebei, Central Plains, and Xichuan to places such as the desert and the Babaili Qiang Plain in batches, and selected officials to carry out governance.

This is a real drudgery. From then on, there will be only Han people in the vast desert and Western Qiang.

Since the pre-Qin period, although the Han court had also conquered the desert and the Western Qiang, it never really turned these wild lands outside the Great Wall into the territory of the Han people, because the nomads were like weeds on the prairie, and they were always burned. No matter how bad the living conditions are, these nomads will continue to grow crop after crop.

The only way to truly turn these places into the territory of the Han people is to emigrate.

Move a large number of Han people there, and then strictly control the population growth of nomads.After dozens or hundreds of such places, these places can truly become the territory of the Han people, allowing nomadic tribes to completely die out.

Even if the people on the prairie will continue to graze, they are Han people, not foreigners.

This is a huge project that requires huge national strength and manpower support.

Fortunately, after ten years of savings, the population of Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Hetao and other places has not only exploded to over [-] million, but also has the benefits of golden rice. The granaries in various places have accumulated a large amount of money and food, so it is not a problem to support immigrants.

The Han people who moved to the desert and the Western Qiang were almost all poor households. After the government issued a policy of exempting all corvees and taxes for ten years, coupled with the government's forced collection, they had to leave their homeland and move to foreign land.

People in Guanzhong and Liangzhou live in a stable and prosperous life, and they are absolutely unwilling to move to the bitter cold desert and Western Qiang.

If forced to relocate, it will inevitably cause huge social unrest.

Only for those poor households, after the government gave a huge tax exemption policy, the resistance will not be so strong, and the forced relocation will not cause social unrest, and the nearly one million people who moved from Xichuan to Xiqiang are all powerful tenants.

Back then, the Xichuan gentry took refuge in Luo Zheng, which had certain peculiarities.

In order to ensure the stability of the situation in Xichuan, Luo Zheng has not enforced the Guanzhong policy in Xichuan over the years.The population of Xichuan has been growing steadily over the years. According to incomplete statistics from the government, the population of Xichuankou is at least 700 million.

Such a huge population, but the number of common people registered by the government is less than 400 million.

That is to say, there are only about 300 million people in Xichuan who pay taxes to the government, and the remaining half of the population are all tenants and private soldiers of powerful families. These people do not need to pay taxes to the government, which is obviously a bit unscientific.

Luo Zheng is not the successor of the imperial power, but the founding king who established the foundation of the dynasty.

As the founding king of Dagan, how could he tolerate such a phenomenon.

It was out of consideration for the overall situation that they did not touch the interests of the Xichuan Tu people before.Now that the world is about to be settled, it is time to solve the problem of Xichuan. Millions of people immigrated to Datun, which is the target that the imperial court directly sent to the Yizhou Governor's Department.

For the smooth progress of immigration, Luo Zheng's officials formulated a series of countermeasures for him.

The first is to adjust the deployment of Xichuan's troops. The first is to appoint a group of local officials in Xichuan.

Luo Zheng also decreed that Zhang Ren, a famous Xichuan general, be named the second-rank Zhennan general, bestow a talisman festival, and make the capital.

The rest of the local gentry in Xichuan also have their own rewards. Those who should be promoted will be rewarded.

In addition to personnel adjustments, Luo Zheng also made adjustments to the deployment of Jiange's troops.If wantonly using the Xichuan gentry and withdrawing all the direct troops from Xichuan is a show of kindness, adjusting the deployment of troops on the front line of Jiange is just in case.

If there is a change in Xichuan, the [-] Western Army from the camp in the western suburbs of Chang'an will immediately enter Sichuan to suppress the rebellion.

Controlling Jiange and other dangerous gates is equivalent to opening the door of Xichuan.

As long as the Shichuan Nishi Army can rush to Xichuan in the first time, any rebellion will be extinguished in the first time.

In the first year of the Kaiping era, small-scale rebellions broke out in all the counties and states of Xichuan, and all the rebels were local tyrants.

When the news reached Chang'an, the imperial court immediately ordered Zhennan General Zhang Ren and prefects of various counties to quell the chaos.

The rebellion lasted less than three months before it was suppressed.The only local governor who rebelled, Jianwei Taishou, was also defeated by Zhennan General Zhang Ren, which did not cause turmoil in Yizhou. The Xichuan gentry gave the court a satisfactory answer.

Obviously, the Xichuan gentry headed by Zhang Song and others also realized it.

The world is about to be unified, if the Xichuan gentry still hold on to that little interest and don't let go, they will be purged sooner or later.

In these years, Luo Zheng has pacified the Central Plains and Hebei successively, and won nine of the world's ten. He created a foundation for a dynasty. All the meritorious soldiers and confidantes under Luo Zheng became emperor after Luo Zheng ascended the throne.

However, none of the Xichuan gentry could get out of Xichuan, and their status in the political puzzle of Xichuan was getting lower and lower.

The Xichuan gentry had complaints and had other thoughts, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

Firstly, the Xichuanxi tribe is not monolithic, and secondly, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xigan are definitely not just for display.

Some Xichuan gentry once privately talked about taking refuge in Liu Bei, but they were ordered by Zhang Song and others to be copied and sent to the court to show their loyalty. Once hundreds of thousands of troops from Xigan entered Sichuan, the Xichuan gentry would definitely cause disaster. This is not the Xichuan gentry want.

Even if he can take back Jiange Danguan, so what, although Luo Zheng has not forced the Guanzhong policy to be implemented in Xichuan these years, who can guarantee that there is no internal response from the imperial court in the Xichuan gentry, and they will not secretly welcome the imperial army into Sichuan.

This time, the imperial court gave the Yizhou Governor's Department the migration quota, which was a test.

The Xichuan gentry knew in their hearts that this was to force the people of Sichuan to express their views.

The people registered in the government cannot be moved, and the only ones left are the powerful tenants of the gentry.

The choice of the Xichuan gentry did not disappoint the imperial court. Perhaps it was the deterrence of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court, or it may be that Zhang Song, Zhang Ren and others were reused, setting an example for the Xichuan gentry. In the end, he chose to compromise with the court and gave up part of his interests in exchange for the trust of the court and the lifting of the ban on his official career.

It seems that Sichuan people get more if they get out of Xichuan and rank in the center or power.

If the Sichuan people do not compromise, what will greet the Xichuan gentry? It seems that there is no need to think about this issue, and the result can be imagined, and the million mobile village is just the beginning, not the end.

Next, Luo Zheng will continue to use blunt knives to cut flesh, gradually solve the stubborn problems of Xichuan's serious land annexation and the tyrants' powerful occupation of a large number of tenants, break the monopoly of knowledge, and completely eliminate family politics.
