Since the exclusive Confucianism and the "heaven and man induction" set, what the weather of the country is is directly linked to the character of the ruler, even if it is just a certain place in the palace that has been struck by lightning, it is definitely what the ruler has done to cause God's dissatisfaction, if there is a disaster, the first thought of the people is definitely what the ruler has done to affect them.
Dong Zhongshu's "Heaven and Man Induction" is to restrain the imperial power, and the starting point is naturally excellent, that is, after the imperial power and the gods chatter, the Zhuxia civilization went to the abyss of reincarnation.
Anyway, the ruler is not good, if you kill and change the ruler, God may not be angry, similar ideas have dominated Zhuxia for nearly two thousand years.
Not many people really think that the climate is a change in nature, and even came up with a "cycle of five virtues" to explain the change of dynasties.
Throughout the history of Zhuxia, every large-scale natural disaster must have brought a disaster, and even if the authorities were able to provide disaster relief, the disaster could not be avoided.
At that time, if the national strength of the imperial court was okay, and the army was not completely corrupted and lost its combat effectiveness, the ruling class would naturally be able to hold on, but the country would also be greatly damaged by the disaster, laying the groundwork for the alien race to destroy the country.
There is only one dynasty that has performed best in the face of natural disasters in all dynasties, and that is the dynasty known as the weak Song Dynasty.
The two Song Dynasty established the box army system, where there was a disaster, the local people were forcibly included in the box army system, not to really train to become a combatable soldier, in fact, regardless of men, women and children, the box army system was used to control it, to avoid a large number of people displaced after natural disasters and evolved into displaced people.
The destruction of the Central Plains Dynasty basically began with the explosion of the number of displaced people, a large number of people who lost their family business wandered aimlessly, and in the process of swimming, they destroyed the living system of one place after another, resulting in the erosion of one place after another, and the order of the country was difficult to guarantee.
The Xiang army system of the Two Song Dynasty effectively reduced the phenomenon of displaced people when natural disasters occurred, that is, once they entered the Xiang Army, it was difficult to recover the possibility of becoming a free people, and it must have become more and more "swollen and fat", which became one of the reasons for the collapse of the Two Song Dynasty.
"The Han Dynasty has no restrictions on population movement, and the mountains and rivers are open in disaster years."
Sang Yu felt that he was not alarmist: "The old things of Emperor Han Ai should be prevented." ” Said Emperor Wai was the last Han Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty before Wang Mang established a new dynasty, at that time it was also a frequent natural disaster, coupled with the land annexation at that time was very powerful, resulting in the country's turbulent public sentiment and the number of displaced people was terrifying, which also gave a hammer to the demise of the Western Han Dynasty.
"Dahan recruitment is indeed effective in preventing too many displaced people, but it is difficult to prevent it comprehensively."
Cai You didn't think that the old things of Emperor Han Ai would happen, but some words had to be said: "The dynasty is a private annexation of land without people, but most of the people don't have much land. ” Liu Yan was stunned.
Isn't it the Han State that followed the old path of the Qin Empire, where most of the land was owned by the state, and the land was not allowed to be bought and sold privately, which effectively curbed land annexation, but the people really didn't have much land.
"When you enlist in the army, you will be granted a field, and you will not lose to the Juntian of Empress Lu."
Xu Zheng is talking about the early Han Dynasty, in order to restore the national strength, Lu Pheasant engaged in the Juntian, which is a kind of reward land policy according to the title: "Adult males have enlisted in the army, and they have been guaranteed to have at least 100 acres, what else do you want?"
Lü Pheasant's Juntian was aimed at restoring the economy of the early Han Dynasty, and the main target was the lords, and at the same time, the people were allowed to buy and sell land.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he repeatedly engaged in free land granting, that is, he no longer looked at whether he had a title, but he could obtain land with a head, and cultivated most of the land, which also created the rule of Wenjing, but also destroyed the title system.
It is difficult to say whether it is good or bad to allow land to be bought and sold privately, but if land can be bought and sold privately, there will inevitably be land annexation, and people who have lost their land will generally become displaced people.
"The territory of the Han Dynasty is as big as that of the Han Dynasty, but there are very few people."
Sang Yu glanced at Liu Yan, who looked thoughtful, and continued: "If there is soil, there should be production. ” In order to avoid the phenomenon of displaced people under natural disasters, the Han State has been conscripting and recruiting people to build national projects, and to a great extent to collect the young and strong of the people, and the young and strong are within the scope of control, even if there is chaos, just relying on a small number of young and strong and old and weak women and children will not go anywhere, even if there is real chaos, it will be easily suppressed.
This is one of the measures taken by the authorities to deal with natural disasters and prevent civil unrest.
The Year of Natural Disasters is another effective measure.
After all, the national project is to provide food and drink, and the non-conscripted group also has wages.
The state's payment of labor did not begin in today's Han Dynasty, in fact, it was very popular as early as the pre-Qin era in ancient times, but most of them were not large-scale, and they were not recorded by historians unless they were exceptional.
It is also said that why should an extremely ordinary thing be carefully promotedOnly rare things, especially good deeds that encourage others to emulate, will be hyped up.
It can be seen that the more the spirit is preached, the more that spirit is definitely lacking.
"Naturally, more land can be granted."
Xu Zheng sneered: "Gratuitous acquisition is ruining the people's hearts, it is better to wage more wars abroad" Sang Yu immediately covered his forehead, and behind him was a look of wandering in the world, and he didn't plan to say anything more.
"When the year of disaster comes, use troops abroad" Ji Chang had to say: "If the captain can ensure that he can obtain food from the outside world, why not?"
Xu Zheng's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The starting point of the Han army's outward campaign was to obtain food, and the attack on the Gupta Dynasty did not go smoothly as expected, and nearly a year later it remained on the front side of the naval war, but it was because of the advance on the Gupta Dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with a considerable number of countries.
After the Great War, the Pingban Captain captured a considerable number of Gupta nobles, who were willing to redeem their lives and freedom with gold.
Under Huan Wen's auspices, the repatriation of the prisoners of war was carried out quite smoothly, but the request for grain instead of gold was not agreed to by the Gupta dynasty, and the later release of the prisoners of war was suspended.
It can be seen that the Gupta Dynasty is not stupid, they are all determined to fight with the Han State, and they are definitely not happy that the Han army can get grain nearby, and would rather pay more gold than pay a grain grain.
Unable to obtain food from the Gupta dynasty, the Han had no choice but to open another channel.
At present, Han ships have arrived in Persia and Egypt, and they have received permission from Rome and Sassanid not only to purchase grain from the government, but also from the private sector.
The grain obtained from the two countries is constantly being "transmitted" back to the mainland, and there are two batches of relatively large transactions, although it does not alleviate the state of food shortage, but the ability to obtain grain from abroad in a stable manner is a reassuring pill.
Egypt has long been a granary, the result of nearly a thousand years of hard work by the ancient Egyptians.
The agricultural technology of ancient Egypt was quite good, and the area of Egypt was also blessed with a number of vertical and horizontal water systems, and a perfect irrigation system was built, so it became a good grain producing area The Romans had relied on Egypt for food for hundreds of years, and Egypt had never let the Romans down, with fleets of grain from Egypt to the Roman provinces via the Mediterranean throughout the year exceeding the amount provided by Gaul and Spain.
At present, Rome is falling into division, in fact, the Egyptian region is not in the hands of Constantius, and the Han State can buy grain from Egypt is the result of negotiations between Constantius and his own brothers.
The Han only purchased grain from Egypt, and it didn't care how the two Roman powers in the division distributed the profits.
The Persian Sassanids were geographically close to the Han state, and they also agreed to the Han state to purchase grain, but in fact, the Sassanid government was not able to provide large amounts of grain to sell to the Han state.
The current Sassanid Empire is actually not having a good time, with frequent civil unrest breaking out everywhere, and the Sassanid military itself is short of food.

Fortunately, the political system of the Persians is very complicated, and the fact that there is not much food in the dynasty treasury does not mean that the people do not have it, especially the great nobles are not short of food at all, and the center of the dynasty has no money to buy from the big nobles, but the Han State has money.
Being able to get grain imports from Rome and Persia, and the Indochina Peninsula was always supplied, really greatly improved the internal environment of the Han Kingdom.
If the previous dynasties of the Han Dynasty did not have channels to obtain food from the outside, there would really not be too many ways to deal with the disaster year, and probably the only way to leave the disaster area to fend for itself is to wait for the people in the disaster area to survive and rise up, and then send troops to suppress it.
The war caused by natural disasters was either suppressed by the authorities, or the authorities were changed in a dynasty, and the mountains and rivers were broken and then returned to stability, and time was used to heal the pain.
There really are quite a few examples of this, aren't they There are external channels for obtaining grain, and the Prime Minister's Office has been maintaining the amount of grain in the market in various places, as long as it can provide stable grain in the market, and not to mention maintaining the original low grain prices, if the price of grain is not ridiculously expensive, doubling it in a disaster year is actually within the acceptable range.
In fact, as long as the people can survive, not so many people will want to get along with the violent machine of the state, and the authorities have not done nothing.
"But that's not enough."
Liu Yan has just learned that it has rained heavily for four consecutive days in the northwest, followed by a light rain for nearly half a month: "That rain is far from enough to alleviate the drought. ” According to the joint report of Xie Ai and Li Kuang, the northwest was originally a dark storm, the people's sentiment was fierce, and there were many chaotic parties preparing to start an incident.
As a result, a rain appeared, and the people immediately came out of the argument that God did not allow the Han State to rule the northwest, and they cooperated with many official measures, and those chaotic parties immediately hibernated.
Liu Yan has enough to understand the characteristics of Zhuxia civilization, but he still underestimates the argument that "the people's heart is the heart of heaven".
In fact, "the people's heart is the heart of heaven" is more appropriate, how the harvest of the farming nation is to eat according to the face of God, when the wind and rain are good, the ruler is fooling around, and the people can eat will actually be very docile.
But once God doesn't give face, it is the ruler who works day and night to make the people live a good life, and the measures do not make progress because of the relationship between manpower and material resources, and the people will not care whether the ruler is doing things or not.
How many emperors who have not done anything good in their lives have sat firmly on the throne, and how many emperors who have worked diligently and wanted to do good things have not saved their empire from destruction Liu Yan knew that this large-scale drought was a hurdle for himself, which was why he ignored public opinion at all and insisted on sweeping away the surrounding aliens.
There are natural disasters, and then there is the actual threat of external alien races, and the country is busy dealing with natural disasters, and it may not be able to deal with it, and the alien races will kill again, and the overthrow of the country will be in that moment, Liu Yan will never allow such a thing to happen.
"It's raining in the northwest, but Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Northern Xinjiang" Ji Chang didn't finish speaking, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Maybe there should be new measures to stabilize and boost the people's hearts."
Xu Zheng asked: "The new measures mentioned by the prime minister are not free of charge."
Ji Chang didn't dare to say it even if he had that heart, but he really thought that a round of gratuitous land grants to the people would effectively win over the people's hearts.
At the time of the disaster year, it is absolutely necessary to maintain the stability of the people's hearts, and there is nothing better than giving land as a better means of buying, but Ji Chang really didn't dare to mention it, whoever dared to propose to grant land for free would be torn apart by the military.
Sang Yu, Cai You, Lu Yi and others were looking at each other wordlessly at this moment, and the responsibility they shouldered determined one point, they must be worried that civil unrest would break out, once the civil unrest really broke out, in the next few years or even longer, I really don't want to mention any internal affairs construction.
Liu Yan actually understands very well that Juntian is definitely a big killer, which is something that the farming nation naturally decides.
After the new imperial courts of all dynasties sat in the world, they adopted Juntian to win over the people's hearts, and soon stabilized the people's hearts.
If there is a piece of land under the name of the farming nation, people will settle down, and it can even be said that they will be tied to the land for a lifetime.
The state is also happy that the people do not have too much thought, and it is better not to leave the land from birth to old age and death.
Liu Yan did not engage in Juntian in order to ensure that the military merit system would not collapse, but he also had to think about the characteristics of the farming nation, and recently he kept thinking about whether there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
"What have those people been making a fuss about lately?"
Liu Yan's question made the ministers a little unresponsive.
He was referring to those people of culture: "Prime minister, who can make him discuss the changes in the land of the past dynasties." ” Ji Chang was first shocked, and then overjoyed, completely ignoring the iron-faced military who reacted at the same time, and responded loudly: "No" Liu Yan glanced at the military ministers who had changed their faces and said, "You can go and observe." ” Naturally, the military didn't dare to give Liu Yan a face, so he only had to answer the order
