The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 658 The Vast and Boundless Dizhou

"The old way of governing the Western Regions is to distribute all the fields to the common people for farming. Only the Han court can collect taxes. As for those kings, if they are willing to surrender to the Han, they will move to Luoyang for resettlement. If they resist, they will be killed!"

In this era, what the people need most, and what makes them willing to give everything, is land. As long as they have the land they cultivate, they are willing to pay half of the tax.

Not to mention such a low tax for a big man, as long as a person who is a little hardworking can support himself.

"The officials and the city guards are all ready. As long as the army takes down the city, they can quickly take over the government affairs of various places."

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said: "The Western Region is too vast to be governed. It should be divided into three states, called the Northern Region State, the Central Region State, and the Southern Region State."

Everyone understands what is difficult to govern. It is to completely disintegrate the Western Regions, which happens to be divided according to the routes of the three-way army, and the trend of separatism in various parts of the Western Regions is completely resolved.

"Dizhou is almost explored." Liu Bei looked at the huge map beside him, one of which was a blank Dizhou.

Chen Ziming was also full of excitement, and said with a smile: "Yuanlong sent someone to report that Dizhou borders the Western Regions in the north, Chou Kingdom in the south, and the huge mountain range in the west. Behind the mountains is the Guishuang Empire and the Baicheng Dynasty. The front is Yibei Prefecture and Yixi Prefecture."

Looking at the huge territory, it is the land of China in the future. The so-called huge mountains are the Himalayas, and Dizhou almost covers Qinghai Province and Xizang Autonomous Region, which shows a terrifying area.

Now Yizhou has been divided into three states, Yibei Prefecture, Yinan Prefecture and Yixi Prefecture, of which Yixi includes part of the original Yizhou land and the entire Nanman territory.

"too big......"

Liu Bei had to lament the hugeness of Dizhou, and it was simply a blank area. Except for the Di people and the Qiang people, there were only a few tribes left alone, and they were scattered and had no combat power.

"How does Yuanlong plan to govern Dizhou." After surrendering to Liu Bei, Chen Deng was given a heavy responsibility to be in charge of the governance of the Di people in Guangrou.

Chen Ziming smiled and said: "Yuanlong said in the letter that the climate in the west of Dizhou is special, and there is little rain. For some reason, many investigators suddenly fell to the ground. They were exhausted at all, and they didn't know the source. He thought that area was not easy to live in."

"As for other places." Chen Ziming continued: "Yuanlong believed that the land could be divided into three states, and then sent soldiers and horses to exterminate wild animals, build roads, relocate the population, and open up wasteland. However, Dizhou is not suitable for growing rice, but suitable for growing wheat. "

Of course Chen Ziming knew what happened to the strange thing Chen Deng was talking about, but it was just the plateau climate. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was not suitable for everyone to live there.

No suitable crops could be found, the air was thin, the weather conditions were harsh, and most importantly, water resources were too scarce. It was no wonder that no one wanted to occupy that huge territory.

"According to Ziming's intention, how should we deal with this matter?" Liu Bei knew nothing about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and seeing what Chen Deng said was so serious, he felt a little bit about giving up.

Chen Ziming smiled and said: "The special environment Yuanlong mentioned is just the plateau climate. The terrain in that area is relatively high, resulting in thin air. It is not suitable for ordinary people to live in, but it must be inhabited. It will take some time to get used to it."

"According to what Yuanlong said." Chen Ziming was unwilling to give up that piece of land, and explained seriously: "Dizhou is not only vast and soft, but also has fertile land. Although it is not suitable for growing rice, it is very suitable for growing wheat."

"Yuanlong is right." Chen Ziming continued: "The current Di people can be divided into five prefectures. From east to west, the three eastern prefectures can immediately relocate their population, build roads, open up wasteland and reclaim fields, and build water conservancy projects. After the relocated people have adapted to the environment of the three states, they will then be relocated to the fourth state, and after slowly adapting, they will then be relocated to the westernmost state, where the vacancy will be relocated, and then filled from the states in the Central Plains.”

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing this. Although he didn't understand what Chen Ziming said about the plateau climate falling to the ground, it didn't affect the big man's occupation of that vast territory: "Dizhou is divided into five continents. Anyone who migrates can They will be given as much land as they cultivate, no tax will be charged for five years, and all difficulties will be resolved by the court.”

Liu Bei issued an edict, and the great Han moved again, and the scale was huge. You must know that the five western states are blank, with only more than one million people. If you want to fill this western region, you don't know how many people will be needed.

According to Chen Deng's plan, each of the three eastern states will relocate at least 100 million people. This is a terrifying number. It has been opposed by countless ministers in the DPRK and China. Fortunately, the Senate and the House of Representatives have not yet formed and cannot play any role. Otherwise, the Great Migration may be in jeopardy.

Although it was said that the relocation was voluntary, but now there is no war in the Han Dynasty, everything is thriving, and the people all have land, who is willing to leave their hometown, no matter how good the conditions given by the imperial court are, it is not as good as their hometown.

In desperation, all the states issued rigid targets, that is to say, the big men began to be forced to relocate. Of course, the welfare is also very good, so that the relocated people will not starve to death, freeze to death and have no houses to live in.

Liu Bei spoke, but the objection was invalid. The great Han began to move out for the first time. The imperial court fully cooperated and mobilized countless grains and grass. At the same time, merchants were encouraged to go to the three eastern states to do business. No tax would be charged for three years. If it is beneficial to the development of the eastern three states , will also be rewarded by the court.

Under various favorable conditions, the three eastern states have quickly entered a period of development, and the western region has begun to rise. The western region will no longer be a blank space. In the near future, it will be an inseparable territory for the great men.

And Chen Deng's task is to continue to govern the five states in the west. After the three states in the east are stabilized, they will slowly develop towards the two states in the west until they are completely controlled by the big man.As for defense, it does not exist at all. Neither the Guishuang Empire nor the Baicheng Dynasty look down on the poor western region.

And there is also a natural line of defense, that is, the Himalayas that have already been named, an insurmountable natural barrier, only need to garrison some scout squads, there is no need to garrison large troops, at least not now.

"General Quyi came to report that Cao Pi has captured more than a dozen cities in the Kingdom of Cho, and recruited tens of thousands of people from the Kingdom of Cho to form an army, set up a defense line in the southwest of Yixi Prefecture, and built a fortress..."

After Cao Pi invaded the Chop Kingdom, he developed rapidly. Based on the tiger and leopard cavalry in his hands, he tried his best to expand his territory. The Chop Kingdom still regards the city as a state and fights against each other. It may be Cao Pi's opponent.
