Ran Min had never hidden his claims, and his desire to obtain the title of prince had been proposed before the Ran clan's Qin State was incorporated into the Han State.
Yes, Liu Yan's statement is that the Han Kingdom will not prohibit the existence of kings with different surnames, and the clear attitude is that whoever has enough merit can be crowned king.
It's hard to say what others think, but Ran Min believes in Liu Yan's promise, and he has been moving towards the road of becoming a king.
It is not a secret that the jade seal of the country was obtained by Liu Yan in the Han Kingdom, on the contrary, because the propaganda made the whole country known, everyone was guessing when Liu Yan would be the emperor, and Ran Min asked directly in front of Liu Yan.
Liu Yan knew that all the ministers hoped that he would become emperor as soon as possible, which was a very normal emotion.
Once he is proclaimed emperor, his subordinates will naturally rise with the tide, and more importantly, there will be the rank of prince on the title.
It's like a good soldier who doesn't want to be a general, after Liu Yan made it clear, Ran Min is not the only one who wants to be crowned king in the Han Kingdom, but everyone who thinks they have the ability thinks that one day they can also become a king.
"Call the emperor" Liu Yan faced Ran Min with eager anticipation, smiled and said: "The old land of the Han family has not yet been recovered, and it is too early to call the emperor. ” The current territory of the Han State is only about four-tenths of the original Han family's old land, and the Central Plains alone has not been completely recovered, such as the annexation of states.
In addition, Shuozhou, where the Zhao State of Shijie was entrenched, Youzhou occupied by the Murong Yan State, Liangzhou of the Liang State of the Zhang family, those areas controlled by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the land of the four counties of the former Western Han Dynasty that Goguryeo and Baekje encroached upon, these are all territories that must be recovered.
For Liu Yan, the title of emperor is actually not too attractive, and his greatest ambition in his heart is to establish a global village, and he will unswervingly continue to move forward in this direction in his lifetime.
Therefore, recovering the old land of the Han family is only a prelude to laying a foundation for his ambitions, not that the full restoration of the old land of the Han family is equivalent to the completion of the ultimate goal of life.
Ran Min showed a disappointed expression for a moment, and then his face became firm again.
For him, credit can be earned, and the most important thing is that Liu Yan does not resist the king, as long as he does not resist, he will reach his goal one day.
The core ministers of the center were summoned and sat down separately, and after Liu Yan's secretary Lang Xunxian told about the recent movements of the Han Kingdom.
There is a lot of news that gathers in the center from all directions every day, including the battle situation on various fronts, and the people's livelihood in various states and counties.
The people's livelihood in the Han Kingdom has been slowly recovering, it is a kind of social recovery that has been re-established with the order, there is a stable living environment, there is no need to worry about losing your life every moment, and there is no need for the government to urge and drive the people too much to work for that opening.
"The purpose of the hunting order is to allow more people to own their own private land, but the goal is not as expected."
Sang Yu's right prime minister's authority was more inclined to civil affairs, and he traveled back and forth to every state in the Han territory, and some important counties and counties were even more must-go: "The people in the north own more private land than in the south.
This is because there are not many Hu people in the south who can hunt, and the minister thinks that if the army is conscripted in the future, it should be appropriately tilted towards the people in the south. ” The Han State recruited soldiers, and each soldier was given five acres of land when the register was made.
In fact, five acres of land cannot feed too many people for the current productivity and output, and a harvest of one acre of land is about two to three stones.
According to the conversion, one stone is one hundred and sixty catties, and now there can only be one harvest season every year, and it is necessary to ensure that the wind and rain can be smooth, but if there is a little natural and man-made disaster, it will be over.
The amount of food per meal for one person is calculated as two taels, only two meals a day, and the grain eaten in a month is about 12 catties.
In fact, because of the lack of meat and oily water, it is very common for people to eat one or two catties and ten pounds at a meal.
According to the reasonable resettlement, it is reasonable for each person to have 50 acres of land under his name, and a family can only meet the standard of affluence if he owns at least 200 acres of land.
This is also the value that the labor force can cope with, and Yang Sui and Li Tang in the back are committed to meeting this requirement.
The Han State was formulated to start with five acres in mind, taking into account a practical problem.
Because of the decades of ravages by the Hu people, the fertile land has long been turned into wasteland, and the wasteland needs to be reclaimed.
Under the premise of using manpower completely, it is not an easy task to reclaim the land, and it takes at least two or three months for a young man to turn one acre of wasteland into fertile land again, and five acres of land for about a whole year.
In the early stage of the Han Dynasty, there was an extreme shortage of manpower, and in addition to resuming production, too many fronts occupied the vast majority of the young and strong, and the labor was basically women, old and young.
The old and weak women and children cannot be compared with the young and strong, and a young and strong can achieve results in two or three months, and it may take twice as long to change to the old and weak women and children.
"The Han Dynasty continues to regain its old land, and the amount of state-owned land is increasing, and the registered population has reached 9.7 million."
The population data mentioned by Sang Yu is not the current real data of the Han territory.
He said that it was only for the purpose of foreshadowing, and only later did he say the real purpose: "The government redeemed a huge amount of land from Haoqiang, and the land held by the private sector accounted for less than 20% of the arable land. ” As with the population data, the land distribution that Sang Yu said is actually not accurate, and the private land holdings in the speculation are counted by the family, the powerful and the common people.
How long did the Han state take until the country was established and the country was in a state of war, and the expansion of the country's territory only accelerated in the third year of the Yuan Shuo Dynasty, so it is impossible to say that the situation of the country was clearly understood in a short period of time, and then calculated and recorded as data that can be intuitively judged.
At present, only Qingzhou has credible data on population and land records, and the process of Yanzhou can be regarded as preliminary data, such as Jizhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, Bashu and other places were incorporated into the territory of the Han State three years after Yuan Shuo, and it is impossible to count and record so quickly with the current administrative efficiency.
Despite the problems in the data, what Sang Yu said should not be ignored: the Han state had non-governmental cooperative communes and military tuntian, but it was indeed very abnormal for the state to hold about eight-tenths of the total share of land, and it was time to think of a way to improve this unusual land holding phenomenon.
"The mountains and rivers are broken, the people are broken, and most of the people are dead."
Sang Yu is still giving his own speech: "Among the people who have registered and made the register, most of them are single families, and most of them are young and strong who own private land. ” "Yes, the Hu people are raging, and there have been many waves of escapes."
Ji Chang nodded and told the facts: "It is relatively easy for the young and strong to survive in the war, but it is difficult for the old and weak, women and children to survive. ” In the Han census, the ratio of men to women was three to one, with 7 percent between the ages of one and eight, 6 percent between the ages of eight and 13, 34 percent between the ages of 13 and 20, 47 percent between the ages of 20 and 35, and 6 percent over the age of 35.
According to the academic terminology of later generations, the current population age group of the Han Kingdom is in the prime of life.
If it is the average life expectancy standard of future generations, the prime age should be the healthiest period of a country, but the current average life expectancy is only thirty-five years old, and the age distribution of the population of the Han Kingdom is the old age.
If you look at the data and distribute it by prefecture and county, the area with private land is concentrated in Qingzhou.
This is because Liu Yan rose from Qingzhou, and the source of conscription is naturally given priority to selection from the old base area, which can be regarded as a benefit given to the region.
More than forty percent of the Han army's troops came from Qingzhou, and the rest was divided equally among the states, because the relationship between relevant policies was naturally that Qingzhou people owned more private land.
Sang Yu's suggestion is very reasonable, and it is time to consider tilting towards other states and counties, and later propose to increase the number of fields appropriately.

"The king wants the people to have their land, and this is the road to the stability and prosperity of the country."
Sang Yu had a rare serious face, stopped for a long time, and saw the look of surprise or frowning on most people's faces, and said without hesitation: "In addition to joining the army and awarding fields for military merits, is it possible to increase other ways, so that those who cannot go into battle have channels to obtain private land?"
"There are indeed a few people who can be soldiers, but" Ji Chang's face was angry, his eyes looked at Sang Yu, and said: "How can the national policy be easily shaken", he only asked Sang Yu what his intentions were.
The core of the national policy of the Han State is the military merit, and now the Han State has not fully recovered the old land of the Han family, and the army maintains a strong desire to fight, one is because the military merit is the heaviest, and the other is that the meritorious service can be rewarded with land.
In a country that attaches great importance to military merit, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces can be best guaranteed, and once a country gains military merits without being fairly rewarded, the morale of a country's armed forces will collapse completely, without exception in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
In some countries where private land can only be obtained by military merit, a group called samurai knights will inevitably appear, and they will not participate in production, which is probably synonymous with "using the sword as a plowshare", and through continuous war, they will open up a larger and wider living space for themselves and for the country, rather than "casting the sword as a plowstock" and not war but peace.
The Han Kingdom is far from the time to pursue peace, on the contrary, it should be fanatical about war, Ji Chang will look at Sang Yu angrily, it is Ji Chang who knows that Sang Yu's motive is not simple, and the motive that is not pure wants to shake the national policy, and he can already be on the must-kill list.
"Yu is just a suggestion, after all, the land holds" Sang Yu said half truncated, facing Liu Yan's stern gaze, he bowed, lowered his head and said no more.
"Ploughing war, ploughing war" Liu Yan said with a serious face: "Ploughing more and being more productive is also meritorious service, and meritorious work will naturally be gained."
It's not just the battle that can be granted. ” Ran Min didn't hide his schadenfreude at all, he "snorted" and said: "The king has reserved the channel to obtain land without bloodshed, and the right prime minister wants some people to hold more land", he especially said that some people were more serious.
"General Zhengbei is in charge of military affairs, and he is not talking about military affairs now.
Please be cautious" Ji Chang warned Ran Min and said after saluting Liu Yan: "The minister thinks that in what the right prime minister said, it is feasible to appropriately increase the decentralization of land, but how appropriate it is still needs to be discussed. ” "That's it for now."
Liu Yan waved his hand, and added a sentence later: "Prime Minister Zuo stays, and the rest of the people retreat." ” The people in the tent left with all kinds of faces and thoughts, Liu Yan sat in place for a long time without speaking, and Ji Chang'an waited in parts.
"Tai'an, it is not easy to establish a country, just a few states, not even four-tenths of the old land of the Han family, and the country has so many factions in civil and military."
Liu Yan's words made Ji Changhuo look over.
He slowly stood up and pinned his hand behind his waist: "Almost every minister has a group under his wing, even Tai'an."
"The king" Ji Chang made a gesture of pleading: "The king is like watching the fire." ” "The widow actually understands that some people have factions."
Liu Yan really understands that he can't control it openly and secretly, so he simply never stops and expresses his position.
With a light smile on his face, he said: "What the widow didn't expect was that it would happen so soon because of personal interests" paused and replaced his disappointed expression: "This person is still deep." ” "The right prime minister may be selfish, but it doesn't hinder him because of the consideration of the Han."
Ji Chang smiled bitterly and said: "The Han army is strong, forcibly restraining the family and the powerful, they dare not resist openly, they will definitely use secret means."
The right prime minister manages civil affairs, and he should have discovered something. ” What else can it be, it is nothing more than that there are too many hidden dangers in the Han Kingdom, but they are forcibly suppressed, and now there are Shijie and Murong Yan Kingdoms, and there may be Zhang's Liang Kingdom, and even the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, many hostile forces are brewing a counterattack, and they must first lead the Han civil strife before the army really counterattacks.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the Han Dynasty is in chaos now."
Ji Chang said sincerely: "There are too many fronts, and no matter how chaotic the internal is, many achievements may be ruined." ” Liu Yan understood what Ji Chang was trying to express, and it was one thing to not be able to deal with Sang Yu, which caused chaos in the center, and then it was the choice of facing appeasement or dealing with the family and Haoqiang with iron-blooded means again.
"The minister thinks that in order to deal with the counterattack of the Hu people, soldiers should be recruited again in various states and counties."
Ji Chang walked to the edge of the shelf where the map of the territory of the Han Kingdom was hung, and pointed to a few places: "This conscription can be divided into internal county and county soldiers, which can also be dispatched to the front line, and private fields can be further distributed. ” Liu Yan noticed that the places that Ji Chang had just ordered were exactly the ones Sang Yu had mentioned.
"Conscription can be targeted."
Ji Chang showed a grim expression and said: "The Haoqiang family can be fully recruited, if they are divided and served, it will be fine, if there is an abnormality, there are hardships and reinforcements need on the front." ”:
