Chapter 895
Yang Zheng's edict can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
Staying in the Qin Dynasty, being controlled everywhere, and having to endure exploitation by the court, but fighting out, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you can do whatever you want, this kind of temptation is irresistible.
Liaodong was originally Han territory, with abundant products and a large population. Since its development in the Zhou Dynasty, although it is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it is by no means a barbaric land, and is at least better than Nanzhong.
A hereditary act of neglect is enough to make powerful people salivate.
The imperial court also allowed them to recruit local warriors on their own, and the Ministry of War even announced that they could sell equipment that had been eliminated by the Chinese army. Leather armors were supplied in unlimited quantities, and war horses could also be sold!
There is only one condition, each powerful family will deploy Xuan Yilang according to the size of the army.
Xuan Yilang did not interfere with how they fought, killed, or robbed. He was only responsible for overall planning, communication with the court, and friendly forces to avoid killing each other in order to compete for interests.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the tyrants were already very powerful.
Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu accompanied him with thousands of young servants.
Sun Ce raised an army, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su followed him with their own troops, money and food.
No matter how Yang Zheng suppressed the wealthy families, they would always find a way to hide their population.
There is a shortage of people everywhere these days.
In other words, you can understand the Confucian way of thinking.
Letters of petition flew into Daxing from all over the Qin Empire like snowflakes, and piled up in front of Yang Zheng into a small paper mountain, a mountain...
The relationship between the powerful powers and the imperial court changed from confrontation to cooperation, with land being legally annexed, populations legally imprisoned, and hereditary substitution being introduced.
It is difficult to separate the relationship between them by traditional means.
After destroying Jin and annexing Wu, and equalizing the land, the number of households was 2,559,840, and the population was 1,8163,863.
Many tribes have been attached to wealthy families for several generations and are bound by clan etiquette and laws. They have become a piece of iron for a long time.
What carries civilization is population. Without enough population, how can we talk about expanding the Chinese civilization circle?
Before Shang Yang's reform, the first thing he did was to remove trees and establish trust.
Therefore, when running Liaodong, it is not Yang Zheng who wants to make great achievements, but for the sake of future generations and the nation.
It's a bit cold in Liaodong, but it's not unbearable. Youzhou isn't very warm either. Northerners in this era have long been accustomed to the bitter cold.
Rich people are not idiots, and they all have an open mind about what enfeoffment means.
In the final analysis, there is still insufficient living space. 1.4 billion people live in 9.6 million square kilometers of land. How can they not be involved?
Now that Yang Zheng is here, he will naturally break the curse that has imprisoned China.
"If the population of the Central Plains migrates to Liaodong in large numbers, won't the Central Plains become increasingly empty?" Du Yu reminded.
"Du Lingjun is overly worried. The Han people are very particular about returning fallen leaves to their roots and going out to plunder... It is one thing to pioneer, but it is another thing to actually settle in Liaodong." Wei Guan said with a smile.
Coal cakes are also widely promoted among the people, and the bitter cold in winter is not so unbearable.
Of course, these are his personal understandings, which may or may not be correct, but no matter what, it is always right to expand the living space of Chinese civilization.
In recent years, Da Qin's credit is still reliable, and there has been basically no reneging on its promises. Therefore, the people generally support any edict issued by the imperial court.
Now that the Qin Dynasty is rising like the sun, while the fighting spirit of the Han people has not slumped, and while you still have ambitions, take one more step forward!
How far a dynasty can go depends on the foresight of the first two generations, isn't it?
If we don’t go out now, how can we expect the next generation?
Yang Zheng never expects the next generation to be perfect, he just asks not to cheat his ancestors too much.
He also made a lot of money by selling equipment. The powerful man had accumulated tens or hundreds of years of savings, so he was not short of money and food.
Although he is not well trained, his aura of killing and cheating is amazing.
Just need to move your butt.
Where can I find such good things?
Confucianism is naturally involutional, somewhat masochistic, and does not like to abuse outsiders.
Looking at the overall situation, the imperial court actually did not pay much in practical terms for the expansion of Liaodong.
In fact, the Central Plains Dynasty has always had a curse. Before the introduction of Champa rice, the peak population was around 50 to 60 million.
In fact, Yang Zheng can understand Lu Zhi and Du Yu's thoughts.
Yang Zheng coughed and said: "If the wealthy family is willing to go, I welcome them. The population is insufficient, so just encourage births!"
When Yang Zheng debuted in Xiping, he would kill people if he said he wanted to, and exterminate clans if he said they wanted to. He never joked...
Judging from the sand table, it is not much smaller than Guandong.
"I obey the decree!" Wei Guan, Du Yu, Lu Zhi, Suo Jing and other officials of Qin Dynasty said in unison.
"This time, the wealthy clan is just taking a front-line stance. The Qin Dynasty will rest and recover before following up. The results may not be seen until five, ten, or even twenty years later. However, there are some things that our generation must do. From today on, we will open up Liaodong.
For the national policy of Great Qin!"
I heard that the imperial court produced cotton-padded jackets and quilts, which were warmer than mink fur when worn.
The Han Dynasty collapsed like this, and the Tang Dynasty also collapsed like this.
Compared to the Onsan people, their territory is everywhere in Europe, the United States, and Australia, spanning five continents and four oceans.
Secondly, the Qin people gained a foothold in the huge Liaodong and were able to suppress the local barbarians.
Yang Zheng originally issued the edict only for the wealthy families in Hebei, but he did not expect that the wealthy families in the Central Plains, Shandong, and Guanzhong would also respond.
When this population is reached, the Central Plains dynasty will become terminally ill.
But things are different now.
Credit is not only the foundation of an individual, but also the foundation of a country.
Liaodong in this era was not as small as the three northeastern provinces of later generations, but covered the vast area of Changbai Mountains, the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and Sakhalin Island.
"Anyone who wants to open up Liaodong should do so!" Yang Zheng made the final decision.
What's more, many big families have the same surname. They are all connected by blood in a village or a village, so it is difficult for the imperial court to carry out its will.
The savages in the black waters of the Baishan Mountains in Liaodong have always been a serious concern in the Central Plains!
The Sasanian dynasty at the same time had a population of about 12 million.
Why did China become so involution in later generations?
After registration, groups of "armies" began to march toward Youzhou, ranging from two to three thousand people to hundreds of people.
Some unscrupulous wealthy families have even prepared slogans to grab money, land, and women...
A few radical ones even asked Yang Zheng to leave more space in Lingyan Pavilion and move some space for them...
Those who are willing to go to Liaodong to risk their lives must be ruthless and strong people.
The intensity of the matter far exceeded Yang Zheng's imagination.
It looks pretty good, but when spread over such a large country, it seems sparse.
It should be noted that the territory of Da Qin now extends to Yibohai in the west, Jiaozhou in the south, and Yanran Mountain in the north.
In the petition, Yang Zheng was praised as an unprecedented sage king, and it was also said that this move would be of benefit to the present generation and would last forever. They were willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for the Qin Dynasty, expand the territory and expand the territory, and achieve eternal achievements!
However, they were soon reprimanded and educated by the government. The powerful people took advantage of the situation and immediately changed their slogan: restore the homeland...
The tens of thousands of Chinese army officers who had previously retired and moved to Guandong became hot commodities, rejuvenated and became instructors and officers of these private armies, assisting them in training soldiers and formulating tactics.
Some retired soldiers even recruited their old troops and neighbors to form private armies, with sixteen large and small armies.
Yang Zheng was naturally happy for them. They had rich combat experience and were loyal to Da Qin. They would also be the foundation for Da Qin to rule Liaodong in the future.
