Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 759 Population
"Your Majesty, this is the roster of the gentry who needs to move the capital to Chang'an with the imperial court, and the method that I, the great man, need to teach." Ma Liang handed over the memorial and said.

Liu Chan took Ma Liang's memorial, and asked casually, "How many people should move to Chang'an with the imperial court?"

Ma Liang lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Sanfu and the Zhongyuan and other Dongzhou gentry. The people should have more than [-] households with a population of more than [-]. Today, they are all copied to Sanfu, with a place of origin. When returning to their respective hometowns, if there is no native place, they will all move to Jingzhao Yin."

Last summer, Liu Chan adopted Guan Xing’s strategy of supervising the construction of the palace city. Since he decided to move the capital, in addition to appointing Guan Xing to go to Chang’an to supervise the construction of the palace, he also ordered Jiang Wan, Ma Liang and other court officials to be responsible for moving the Dongzhou gentry in the central Shu area to the north. .

In dealing with the issue of Dongzhou gentry migrating to Guanzhong, Liu Chan also took corresponding compensation measures to reduce the dissatisfaction of these gentry.While issuing the measures to force the capital to be relocated, Dahan also emphasized that they should truthfully report the number of acres.Then let the imperial court select fertile fields in Guanzhong according to the amount of acres they reported, and compensate them with the excess amount, and the land grant this time is not within the limits of the famous land system.

Even the Great Han Dynasty has formulated laws on the population of hidden households. People who have not registered household registration before this time can also obtain the corresponding share of acres of land when they move the capital with the imperial court.

Seeing that it was a done deal and unable to resist, those Dongzhou gentry reported their family property from bottom to top in order to obtain more compensation.The big man didn't know if he didn't read it, but he was shocked when he saw it. The number of acres reported by these people far exceeded the number of acres registered in their household registration, and there were also many hidden households.

Listening to Ma Liang's words, Liu Chan couldn't help sneering inwardly as he looked at the new number of hidden households on the form.Unexpectedly, moving the capital to Chang'an this time is not only a joy of moving the capital, but also an opportunity to take stock of the unknown family background of the big man.

However, for these extra hidden households, Liu Chan is not going to blame them, and needs to verify their household registration and grant them fields.After all, we should take a long-term view. As long as these people are registered, they can pay taxes for the big man.If they were punished, wouldn't they scare off those hermits?

Of course, the big Han's population verification is not limited to this. Liu Chan was afraid that after the big Han moved the capital, the deterrence and control of central Shu would be reduced.In the name of establishing an accompanying capital in Chengdu, he ordered to check the population of central Shu and remake the household registration.Newcomers will not be held accountable for their previous convictions, and no matter what their internal circumstances are, they can divide their land according to the land system, exempt from taxes for one year, and reduce corvee for two years.

Similar to the relocation of the capital, there are also many people who have newly entered the household registration of the Han Dynasty, and there should be more than 2 people.Counting the extra [-] people who moved to Chang'an, the number of people checked this time was about [-] more people. It can be seen that these nobles usually hide their population so much.

But these numbers didn't scare Liu Chan, because he knew it very well.After the fall of the Shu Han, Sima Zhao forcibly moved Zongyu, Liao Hua, Zhuge Xian and other Shu Han ministers who were not native to Bashu to Hedong and Guanzhong. The migration range should be 10 families with a population of [-].

You must know that there are still differences between families and households. For example, the Xue family in Yanzhou who was punished by Liu Chan before, Xue Qi led a family of five thousand to surrender to Wei after the fall of the Shu Han, and was named the Xue family in Hedong.

Compared with Sima Zhao's behavior in history, the Dahan's move to check the population by moving the capital this time is nothing but a big deal.

Next, the big man may be able to force the Jingzhou natives to relocate from Shu and return to Jingzhou, and there is a high probability that a part of the hidden population will be found.

Liu Chan closed the memorial and said lightly: "Yes, after checking the population, divide the land deeds among the noble families. After moving the capital with the Han Dynasty, just go to the place where the land deeds issued by each of them are located."

"promise!"

After a pause, Liu Chan continued to ask: "How is the household registration situation of the people in each state this year? Can it increase compared with the past?"

According to the normal counting time, Shangshutai should check the counting situation in various places around the first month.Since the "Examination Method" was just implemented this year, and the centralized assessment at the end of the year, everyone was a little too busy. In addition to sorting out the details of the relocation of the capital, Shangshutai was even more busy.

Therefore, Liu Chan ordered that this year Shangshutai can postpone the calculation, and after the exam is over, it will be reported together with the calculation situation.

Ma Liang sent another memorandum, saying: "His Majesty, last year His Majesty ordered the prefectures and counties to re-count the population, and now it is counted by Shangshutai. The number of people in Yizhou has increased by 240 compared with seven years ago, and Ankang, More than [-] people from the two counties of Shangyong entered Jingzhou...a total of [-] soldiers, farmers, and officials from Yizhou."

Ma Liang truthfully reported the data on the increase in the population of the people in Yizhou.

The last time the Dahan counted the population data of Yizhou was in the 14th year of Jianxing. After the Dahan pacified Guanzhong and conquered Chang'an, he ordered the prefectures and counties to re-check the population, and Jiang Wan reported it.

"In the 14th year of Jianxing, Qinzhou ruled 34 people in the lower Longyou counties, and 25 people in the Guanzhong Sanfu. It is still 60, but now it is 37."

"Liangzhou Jianxing returned to the reunification in 14 years, and the number of household registrations was nearly 20. Now that it is reunified, Liangzhou's soldiers, officials, and farmers should have 22 household registrations. The increase..."

"The early rule of Jingzhou..."

Ma Liang also reported the household registration surveys of Jing, Hunan, and Jiaozhou. Jingzhou governs Ankang, Shangyong, Nanyang, Nanxiang, Xiangyang, Yiyang, and Nanjun, with a population of about 39.

Xiangzhou governs the seven counties of Wuling, Lingling, Linhe, Changsha, Guiyang, Jiangxia, and Tianmen. Due to Zhuge Qiao's good governance, the number of people under his rule has increased by about 8 people compared with the records of Wu State. About ten thousand people.

Jiaozhou governs six counties including Cangwu, Yulin, Jiaozhi, Rinan, and Jiuzhen. The population has not changed much compared to before, perhaps due to the impact of the war, it has dropped a little, with a population of about 26.

In total, the Han Dynasty ruled the six prefectures of Yi, Qin, Liang, Jing, Xiang, and Jiao, plus Shuofang Junzhen, a total of 57 counties.There are about [-] million people on the register, and there are about [-] hidden households who have just registered, which is about [-] to [-] people.

From the current population point of view, the population under the rule of Han may be less than the population under the rule of Cao Wei, but in fact the number of the two is only hundreds of thousands, at most a million or so, and the difference has little effect on the overall situation up.

Judging from the soldiers mastered by Han and Wei, they all sent troops with all the strength of the whole country. The Han Dynasty could send more than 20 troops, and Cao Wei could also send more than 20 troops.

The number of soldiers has not formed a crush, and even constitutes a balance of power to a certain extent.Therefore, the battle between the two countries depends on the decision makers of both sides, and the implementation in the army depends on the capabilities of the generals of both sides.

"Your Majesty, the above is the population of the 57 counties of the six prefectures last year. It is due to the "Testing Law" formulated by His Majesty, so that the governors of the prefectures and counties can work diligently and dare not dereliction of duty." Ma Liang complimented.

Liu Chan smiled slightly, and said: "I don't own this merit alone, it also depends on the ministers of the court."

Then, Liu Chan said: "The capital will be moved to Chang'an in October this year. There will be no less than [-] to [-] civilians, officials, and soldiers. The itinerary plan needs to be refined by Shangshutai."

More than 6 gentry and common people migrated, but in terms of the army, Fei Yi mobilized 3 Bashu soldiers to Chang'an, and there were also about 9 people, totaling around 10.Counting Liu Chan's harem and court princes, [-] people would not be able to escape.

How can such a huge migration plan of 10 people be completed so easily? If it is not handled properly, it is unknown how many people will die of illness and exhaustion on the way.

Ma Liang pondered for a while, and said: "My Majesty, I have discussed with Jiang Situ and others. I secretly think that the one hundred thousand may be divided into three batches. In October, Your Majesty and the Bashu soldiers will move the capital to Chang'an, and in November, they will move to Sanfu." The gentry and the remaining soldiers will move to the gentry next year. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Moving the capital in October coincides with the end of the autumn harvest. At this time, moving the capital will not hurt farming, and it is also the usual time for the big Han to use their troops.

"You can follow what you said."

"promise!"
