Section 639 The Southeast Problem (2) [Supplement 1/6]

To be honest, with the emperor's temper, he must have found out about this at this time last year. He would definitely not say anything and immediately convened a military meeting in the imperial front, select a general as the leader, and lead the army south!

The local slags in Qilu and Wu Chu have never been vulnerable!

When the Chu-Han battles for hegemony, the Han army can defeat the powerful Chu army.

During the rebellion between the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Zhou Yafu defeated the rebel army with only 100,000 yuan, and claimed to be 800,000 yuan.

The central government suppressed the rebel army and killed them all the way. The traitors of Wu, Chu, Qi and Lu could only crawl on the ground, waiting to be killed.

During his reign, the slags in Qilu and Wu Chu were also cut several times.

That is, after accepting Zhang Yue's advice, he began to cultivate his body and his temper was much gentler than before.

Even so, he still said furiously: "If I don't teach those people a lesson, how can I be at peace with the world?"

Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty, I foolishly think that the most urgent task now is to solve the livelihood of the people!"

"Confucius said: People are like water, the country is a boat, and water carries the boat, and water covers the state!"

"Therefore, the poem has the people, and the book has the oath!"

"There are millions of people in the southeast today, and the situation is extremely dangerous!"

As long as this bomb explodes, it will definitely not only die from local nobles, but also completely destroy all the entire Southeast region, which has been developed and recuperated for a century.

Even if the Han family can finally calm down and sort out the place, the price they pay will be very heavy!

Therefore, Zhang Yue could only persuade him desperately: "Your Majesty, if you want to punish traitors and corrupt officials, you can wait until the future!"

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Your Majesty will punish the criminals without a deadline!"

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, the emperor finally calmed down. He sighed and asked, "With your opinion, what should we do with these millions of landless people?"

These are millions of people!

During the Yuanfeng period, the Kanto disaster occurred and millions of refugees gathered at Hangu Pass.

The entire Han Dynasty was already scared and trembled, and the two wars were fought.

In order to solve the livelihoods and production and life of these victims.

The whole country was mobilized.

Shaofu opened Shanglin Garden and all non-royal palaces as resettlement sites for disaster victims.

The six captains of the Northern Army withdrew from their camps and would rather camp in the wild than give the victims a place to live.

The soldiers of the frontier even took the initiative to retreat and stopped the war to save the reported resources to rescue the victims.

Even he rarely stopped seeking the immortal medicine, stayed in Chang'an with peace of mind, and directed the relief of the victims.

In the end, Juyan immigrated 300,000 with Xiangshuofang, Jiuyuan and Tianshui.

Another 200,000 victims were placed in Guanzhong, and the remaining victims were organized to return to their hometowns and distributed seeds, agricultural tools and grain to solve this problem.

Now, Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu are more than three million refugees without land.

The emperor didn't know how to solve it.

Even if all the funds and land he obtained from his hard work in scouting his house this year is not going to solve the problem!

Because these people are not short of money.

It’s not possible to be stable by just one relief.

They lost their own land and their own homes, and became robbers, even bandits.

Let them settle down again and become law-abiding subjects again.

The emperor felt that there was only one way to send a large army to the south, kill all the local landlords and powerful officials, and share the mischievous land and wealth to the people who lost their land.

Then, kill all those who have been bandits.

Only this method can solve the problem!

No other methods can solve the problem.

If it weren't for the fact that he was urging in front of him now that he was his most trusted favorite minister, he had mobilized the army south to carry out a protracted and sustaining war, which would have been more than worth the loss, and he would have ignored it at this moment.

In the eyes of the rulers of Chang'an, the landlords, powerful nobles and bureaucrats in the southeast have always been synonymous with broilers and fighting against the Five Slags.

Chang'an has always used a high-pressure strategy to deal with them.

No matter who you are, there is no harm in slashing with one knife!

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, paused his head and said, "I am stupid, I think there is only one way to save this bad luck!"

He raised his head, looked at the emperor, and said carefully: "Recruit all refugees into the Han army and form a tunnel camp, so that they can participate in local water conservancy construction, roads, bridges and pioneering!"

"The southeast area has the Huai River and the Yangtze River, and the water network is well developed. If a huge canal network can be built to connect the Huai River, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the north and the south will become a road from now on!"

This is the successful experience Zhang Yue learned from Daseng.

There was a Song Dynasty, and if you don’t talk about it, society is really stable.

Although the peasant uprisings came one after another, the people resisted and continued.

However, by sending refugees to the army, letting them eat imperial food, and giving them something to do, this makes the cowards fight repeatedly, but social problems have never become a hidden danger to the country.

The cowardly man used culture to control martial arts, and was weak and incompetent, so of course he could not learn.

However, pulling refugees into the army is a powerful tool for maintaining stability.

Moreover, the cost is very low, and you only need to provide these people with food and tools to meet their basic needs.

What's more, Zhang Yue also learned a good skill from Roosevelt's New Deal.

What should I do if I am too unemployed? Infrastructure helps you overcome difficulties.

After the Great Depression of Emperor Mi, Roosevelt came to power. In addition to doing infrastructure, he even hired a large number of bored guys to plant trees in the desert and carve avatars on the mountains.

Anyway, it's very confusing.

Especially compared with the current social situation of the Han Dynasty, because the state recruited corvee labor, there was a system called "Zhengeng and blame me", which led to local landlords and powerful people, and the accumulation of slavery became a trend.

Now, it is just taking this opportunity to force the local tyrants in Qilu and Wu Chu to spit out this piece of meat and hand over these resources to the lost people.

This will indirectly crack down on the wind of local slavery.

Moreover, if this matter can be accomplished, the benefits are not clear.

First of all, more than three million laborers can be further developed in the Jiangnan region.

Once the canal network is formed, at least millions of hectares of land can be reclaimed.

These reclaimed land can be cited in the Qin Dynasty's reclamation laws and regulations and handed over to the reclaimed farmers to cultivate.

This is equivalent to giving these landless farmers means of production and recreating the middle-class self-cultivated farmers' class of hundreds of thousands of households.

The productivity and food output of the empire will increase greatly as a result.

During their military service, the various infrastructures they built would be the same as Yang Guang's Grand Canal project, which would benefit future generations!
