Chapter 453

The state-owned population registered in the Han Dynasty was more than 5 million, which included Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Liaodong county and Jizhou. The population of the recently occupied territory was not included.

Five million people include Jin people and naturalized Hu people. There are nearly 400000 naturalized Hu people, and the rest are Han Miao people. This figure does not include slaves. If you count slaves, the total population of the slave Han country should be close to 7.6 million.

For a long time in the future, the Han state will not focus on the development of Qingzhou and Xuzhou only. It is bound to build Yanzhou, which has been fully occupied, and restore the vitality of the Central Plains as soon as possible.

If those places without statistics are included, the Han country should be able to add another two or three million people, which can be close to ten million. For a country that has been established for only six years, the process from scratch can be said to be very rapid.

Just having a population without construction can not get the increase of national strength, so the restoration of agriculture is the first thing.

Agriculture involves a lot of things. Turning wasteland into farmland is only the first step. The top priority is to reorganize the irrigation system. Otherwise, crops can't live without water. In this way, it is necessary to repair some irrigation systems in advance.

Restoring agriculture is only one aspect. Farming is production. With goods, we have to exchange what we need, so that all kinds of output can be circulated, and it is also a tax contribution to the country.

"All parts of Qingzhou have not been greatly affected by the Hu riots, but recently, the old and weak, women and children are working in the countryside, and the speed of recovery shows a rapid downward trend." Sang Yu is in charge of internal production planning and monitoring, and knows some data like the back of his hand. He said: "we originally planned to use a large number of troops for a year, but Chen's opinion is to suppress the violence of the domestic Hu people and return the labor force to his hometown."

In the second year of the Han and Yuan Dynasties, the state of Han conducted three major conscripts, the first of which was 200000, the second of which was 300000, and the third of which was 150000. The three conscripts removed a large number of young and strong people from the people. They were still the first people under the rule of the Han state, which really had a great impact on the folk production system.

Now the territory of the Han state has increased again and again. In fact, there are not only Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but also Yanzhou.

In Yuzhou, part of the territory was controlled by the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the Han state controlled eight tenths.

Because Jizhou has been sawing, it is bounded by Hejian county and Bohai county. The north is controlled by the Hu people and the south is owned by the Han state.

The territory captured in the new year does not count any population, let alone get any output from it. On the contrary, it will consume national strength again and again.

At present, the total number of the Han army is very large. The 650000 new army newly recruited in Yuanshuo in 2002, the original 140000 field corps, slave army and slave army, nearly 400000, plus the more than 300000 recently accepted and reorganized, the total force is almost 1.5 million.

"The country is gradually stable. It is planned to release troops and return to the countryside." Ji Chang was Prime Minister Zuo. The state of Han did not appoint a Taiwei, nor did it appoint a general, a general of chariots and horses, a general of Hussars and a general of Wei. Prime Minister Zuo was in charge of military affairs, He also had the right to speak on military affairs: "the headquarters of the Northern Expedition Corps is 140000, and there are young and strong people incorporated locally. There is no limit to the number of troops on this side. Of the 650000 newly recruited in the second year of Yuanshuo, the minister's opinion is to retain 100000 soldiers as local counties and counties, and the rest return home. The establishment of servants and slave armies will be abolished and non-Chinese will no longer be accepted."

Ji Chang did not mention the original field corps. The previous field corps continued to lose personnel during the campaign. By the third year of Yuanshuo, there were only 80000 organic units left.

There has been no border army system in the Han country. That is because the border line of the Han country has not been stabilized. In addition, it is now the development period of the Han country. It is not a node to draw lines and strengthen defense. The existence of the border army is unnecessary. There must be field corps.

Later, Ji Chang mentioned the field corps. He said, "apart from the Northern Expedition corps, maintaining the number of field corps at 250000 is an appropriate number."

The field corps of the Han army is really the main combat Corps. After repeated restructuring, it has been confirmed that the organizational systems of Wu, Shi, dui, Tun and Qu remain unchanged. There should be as many combat troops as there should be. When 5000 people are one, the infantry is 4200 combat troops and 800 are auxiliary soldiers, so every combat soldier will no longer have an auxiliary soldier, It has become a specialized logistics and service arm. Because of the special relationship between the cavalry, while a 5000 cavalry, the corresponding auxiliary riders of other cavalry arms, except the light cavalry, are still retained.

According to the figure of 250000 field corps. The number of infantry should be 150000. If you add in the affiliated organizational system, in fact, the infantry has nearly 30000 indirect soldiers. The number of cavalry is 100000. 70000 are light cavalry, 20000 are sudden cavalry and 10000 armour riding equipment. Then the cavalry has as many as 70000 auxiliary riders. On the whole, the total number of employees is as high as 320000.

The military system of the Han army will completely eliminate its dependence on civilian husbands, so there will be no "gengzu" in the corvee policy of the Han country.

The so-called Geng pawn is a militia who needs to serve for three months a year. Geng and zhengzu were the sources of troops in the western and Eastern Han Dynasties.

In the Western Han Dynasty, because of the war with the Huns for more than 130 years, almost all the school-age men in the country had the experience of serving as soldiers. However, the number of off-duty soldiers in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, when the number of regular soldiers was the largest, was less than 50000.

The foreign war of the Eastern Han Dynasty took the frontier army as the main force and recruited good families to supplement and expand the number of troops. In fact, the frontier army was dominated by Geng soldiers who served corvee, resulting in only eight schools in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which were divided into the southern army and the northern army. The school has 1000 to 3000 people, and employs a considerable number of Southern Huns, wuwan and Xianbei.

The Han state under Liu Yan's leadership had no more soldiers, which was to lay the foundation for the further reform of the army. For example, after the soldiers of the field corps were selected, they entered a certain organizational system. When they were registered, how much land would they get? The land is the military salary given to the soldiers, so there is the shadow of the government soldier system.

Apart from the fact that soldiers can get land after joining the army, they will also become the vested interests of the 20th class Baron after making contributions. Each level of the 20th class Baron will have corresponding rewards, which is destined that the military will be the biggest beneficiary when the country expands abroad, so as to keep the army enthusiastic about foreign wars. In short, Liu Yan is building a foundation for outward expansion.

From the perspective of civil servants, they do not want their interests to be dominated by the military. However, there are no pure civil servants. What they stress is that they can get off the horse to be an official and become a general. There are differences between civil servants and military generals, but the contradiction between the two sides is not acute.

"The northern expedition was left to the Northern Expedition Corps." Liu Yan's attention has gradually turned to the south. He asked, "on the matter of the southern expedition, all ministers can express their views."

With Shi Hu's main force avoiding the war again and again, it can be confirmed that the war on the north line has lasted for a long time. Ran Min has entered Guangping county. The next step is to fight in Henan. Next, he will not only face the Hu people of Shijie Zhao Jun. once Shijie Zhao really transfers Youzhou to Murong Yan state, LV Tai regiment will be transferred to the south, Facing the Northern Expedition regiment are the Shijie Zhao army led by Shijie and the Murong Yan army led by Murong Xianbei.

It is inevitable that the Lvtai Corps will go south. His unit belongs to the field corps. It is the field corps to start to the south, so how can the Lvtai Corps be absent.

"We must build momentum before we march south." Ji Chang narrowed his eyes and said, "the king stressed the great righteousness of the nation, so that all the survivors of the Central Plains met our army in the way of food and potions. Of the three or four million people in the south, millions fled south after the Yongjia rebellion, and the Great Han attacked the Hu prisoners, which made them feel sad..."

According to historical records, the population of Soochow at the end of the period was about 2.5 million, which did not include ZhuYue and Zhuman. During the period from the eastern Wu Dynasty to the "crossing south in clothes", there were many wars, but the scope was not wide. It is conservatively estimated that the population should increase to about 3 million. With the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is roughly estimated that there are millions of people who fled from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River. Generally speaking, the population under the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is almost 4 million.

"How does the heart feel?" Sang Yu didn't want to refute Ji Chang. He said with a smile, "shame is more than joy."

Ji Chang just took a look at sang Yu and didn't talk to him. He continued to say to Liu Yan, "we can win the hearts of the people for the Han people."

Liu Yan is more inclined to what sang Yu said. The northern aristocratic families fleeing to the South have been competing with the local aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River. It is because the local aristocratic families in the south are suppressed by the northern aristocratic families fleeing to the south to form a settlement. The northern aristocratic families who fled to the South will not be happy about the new Han state's continuous victory over the Hu people, and may even have a feeling of resentment. Then judge the result from the recent small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty jumping up and down again.

In the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were more cowards who were afraid of being beaten by the Hu people. Those who were determined to make the northern expedition were also those who really took action. Now they are dead. Most of those who did not die are attributed to Liu Yan, and more are trapped in the quagmire of internal strife.

"Yu Yi is going north." When LV Yi spoke, he first looked at Ji Chang and then lowered his head: "Yu Yi went north with the third generation of the family and temporarily settled on the side of Langya stone carvings."

Yu Yi's journey to the North was very sensational. At first, Yu Yi took his grandchildren with him. He had to be a necessary family guard and so on. Before they reached the Yangtze River, they gathered many families. Among the families that are going to go north with Yu Yi, there are some first-line and second-line aristocratic families. Different from Yu's family, these aristocratic families are not entirely the younger generation, and even have contemporary family owners.

"Apart from Yu Gong, it's just a bunch of wall grass." Sang Yu seemed to disdain and said, "seeing that the Great Han is about to recover most of the Central Plains, there are many guys who want to return home with land deeds."

There are many families from the north and south of the Yangtze River with land deeds. In the past few years, the local government of the Han country has encountered many problems. Those people took the title deed of a piece of land to the government and wanted to return it to its original owner with various attitudes, which caused great problems to the local government.

When it comes to the problem, it's some people with land deeds. The land deeds in their hands cover a terrible area, and they are all suitable land for farming.

The Han Army liberated most of the land, of course, because the policy of the state of Zhao in Shijie was in a desolate state, but there was no place for cultivation. There was no change in the land before it was solved. By the third year of Yuanshuo, most of the land was owned by the state, and some land was rewarded to meritorious people.

The local government has encountered many problems. The biggest problem is that the land easy to cultivate is basically rewarded to meritorious people. The owner of the land works hard in the army. The main force for farming is family slaves or official slaves, which is equal to the output stage. The land has a new owner, but the old owner takes the title deed to ask for the return of the property to its original owner. It is impossible for the local government to deprive the property from the new owner, but the old owner has a deed of land and is in a dilemma.

Sang Yu dealt most with the issue of land ownership in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is close enough to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Under the premise of the national concept of the Han state, there is no restriction on the return of people who think they are of Han and Miao descent. During the control of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no lack of people from the south to go north.

Sang Yu has the final say that he is a member of the Southern family who has to contact. Some families are very aware of current affairs. Some families are deliberately making difficulties. No matter what attitude they are, they are all cut across the board by him. That is to say, if there is no owner of land before the territory, all the territory is owned by the Han Kingdom, and everything is decided by the Han kingdom.

"Who shed sweat and blood?" Sang Yu said firmly, "according to the minister's opinion, those who know current affairs can get appropriate compensation, and the rest... Ha ha!"

Liu Yan can tell the difference between his own people and non his own people. His mind is very broad, but it is difficult to nod silently to show his attitude regardless of intimacy, distance and distance.

The rise of any power represents a new reshuffle. What camp you sit in should ensure your own interests. The national policy of the Han state has long been determined. Those who participate can share interests, and those who do not pay can roll as far as they can.

The state's control of the vast majority of land is a necessary means and a last resort. The land will be slowly transferred to private ownership, but it will only be rewarded to meritorious people for a long time, so as not to go to the mistakes of the Qin Empire, which collapsed the army and the people because there was not enough land.

"When Yu Gong went north, I had to meet him." Liu Yan still knew the power of the Yu family in the south of the Yangtze River. He tried to say in a relaxed tone: "if Yu Gong wants to regain the property of the Central Plains, I am still willing to nod."

One sentence made the people present laugh. They knew what Liu Yan meant by that sentence. The Yu family, once the first gate valve south of the Yangtze River, is in a declining stage at this stage, but the skinny camel is still bigger than the horse. If the Yu family defected, the Han Army's southern expedition will be very relaxed, so there is nothing to add a person who shares interests.
