I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 381: My dear ones, why are you silent?

What Liu Long did seemed a bit excessive, but it seemed reasonable.

Gathering power, and at the same time trying to suppress the queen's power and even relatives, let's not talk about the good or bad, but for Liu Long, who has just "seized power" at this age, it is very reasonable.

After all, although Liu Long was very polite to Deng Sui before.

But some people have always believed that this was just Liu Long's forbearance.

Now, everything Liu Long does seems to be verifying this matter!

And Liu Long didn't want to care about what those people thought. What he had to do was very simple, which was to solve all the problems together.

But he cannot let the country perish.

So before we get rid of those moths, we must use them, rely on them, and then help the big man survive this endless natural disaster!

Everything he is doing now is to appease the hearts of those people, and then make them completely relax about him before he once again proposes his next plan.

"I intend to select a suitable place within the Han Dynasty to implement farming!"

Liu Long has released enough goodwill, and now when everyone begins to praise Liu Long as a famous king through the ages, he finally reveals his plan.

As soon as the word "Tuntian" came out, the atmosphere in the court immediately dropped to freezing point.

The so-called farming is certainly not a big deal. It is also a very familiar thing to the courtiers in the court.

This dynasty did not talk about farming alone, but farming has always been a tradition of the Han Dynasty.

Starting from the time of Emperor Xiaowen, minister Chao Cuo had suggested "immigrating people to consolidate the borders".

After that, Emperor Xiaowu fought for many years. Although he opened up countless territories, food and grass became a top priority. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, he also came up with the idea of ​​​​garrisoning.

General Zhao Chongguo suggested that farming be stationed in important border defense towns, requiring both garrison and farming. Pavilions were often set up from the west of Dunhuang to Yanze, and there were hundreds of field soldiers in Luntai and Quli.

In this way, not only did farming begin in border areas such as the Western Regions, but farming was also divided into two or even three types.

Military villages and civilian villages!

There are even things like Shangtun that are not decent.

Among them, during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, it was the Mintun. The imperial court personally issued a decree to recruit landless people in the capital of Guizhou to collectively cultivate official land or reclaim wasteland, and pay grain as taxes according to regulations.

In this way, many other miscellaneous taxes were cancelled, and land taxes were vigorously provided!

As for the military garrison, it was applicable to the time of Emperor Xiaowu, allowing the soldiers stationed on the border to be self-sufficient and farm their own crops.

Combining farming with border guarding can reduce the consumption of food and grass in the rear, and can continuously expand the land, and can also fill the frontier fortress.

And the purpose of this matter is not that simple.

Emperor Xiaowu used the method of military garrison to not only solve the problem of self-reliance due to long distances and inconvenient transportation, but also to save the troops from wasting manpower on defense. It was an idea that killed two birds with one stone.

At the same time, this method was used to make the newly acquired land on the frontier the real territory of the Han Dynasty.

But now the situation has completely changed.

Due to natural disasters and wars, as well as the growing strength of aristocratic families, this kind of farming has lost many of its due functions.

In Liu Long's view, all current ideas and implementations of farming are limited to avoiding long-distance transportation of food from other places and meeting the needs of border garrison troops.

As for becoming a system pursued by the country, there is no possibility or chance.

Although Liu Long has put down many wars in recent years, as natural disasters continue to deepen and alien races emerge in an endless stream, Liu Long also knows that the war will not stop.

And it will get worse. Therefore, he simply made a decision to build a batch of farm tools while the court still had some spare capacity, and then went to the Xiongnu and the aristocratic families in the court to ask for a large number of cattle and other items.

Then they looked for places similar to Xuchang and Pingyu near rivers in the Han Dynasty to reclaim land and implement farming to solve the food problem.

In this way, the refugees can be accommodated without making them too chaotic.

At the same time, enough food and grass can be accumulated faster.

In today's world, money, silk, mulberry, etc. are not as abundant as food and grass.

Both the court and the people need a lot of food and grass to survive the crisis!

Liu Long's suggestion is also very simple. Set up a military commander to be solely responsible for military affairs.

Then he ordered to find a place for trial operation, and to take over the desolate and ownerless farmland there to the imperial court and turn it into public land of the imperial court.

Then the large numbers of refugees recruited were separated and resettled according to the divisions of the army.

In the end, the court provided them with land, seeds, cattle, and farm tools so that these homeless refugees could start over.

They then cultivated the land, and the harvests were divided by the court and the farmers in the fields according to certain divisions.

If this method is feasible, Liu Long will immediately order it to be implemented in all counties and states. At the same time, he will also order soldiers and horses from all over the country to join it, so that the soldiers and horses stationed in various places will enter the field sequence.

Go and reclaim the land, go and expand the land for the Han people.

Liu Chan spoke very excitedly, and his words were indeed very feasible, but no one in the court spoke.

Until Liu Long finished saying everything he wanted to say, he looked at the courtiers above the court and saw that they all closed their mouths and refused to speak.

Liu Long once again set his sights on the closest San Gong.

"Li Situ, Cui Sikong and my uncle, Taiwei Deng!"

Liu Long called the names of three people in one breath, causing Li He, Cui Yuan and Deng Zhi, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, to stiffen their expressions, and then walked out helplessly.

"His Majesty."

"Why, you three think there is something wrong with what I just said, or is it an oversight?"

Of course Liu Long understood the reason for their silence, but now looking at the three silent people, Liu Long still put them on the fire.

The smiles on their faces made them dare not reply. They could only glance at each other and then continued in silence.

Seeing the three of them looking like this, Liu Long couldn't help but laugh.

"The three of you are important ministers of my great Han Dynasty, and they are my important ministers.

I went to war in the court before. Didn't you guys feel happy about it?

Why is it that today, when it comes to the future of these people, these refugees, and this big man, you dare not speak?

No, my officials, what do you mean?

Could it be that you want to tell me that these countless ordinary people are just a joke in your hearts.

Don't you care at all? "

"I dare not!"

At this moment, the courtiers finally did not dare to remain silent any longer.
