In the thirteenth year of Yuanshuo, time came to the last season of the year, winter.
Northern Xinjiang is far away from Chang'an, and war reports have been sent back one after another, but they have not caused any impact.
When Chang'an was in winter, it rained for about half a month, and the temperature of the weather dropped suddenly.
The rainy season for half a month in a row is not only under Chang'an, but also in the Guanzhong Plain and Luoyang in the eastern part of the country.
When it started to snow in Kanchu, there was no snow in the Central Plains area of Kanto.
However, it began to snow in northern Xinjiang and Liaodong earlier than Guanzhong.
The drought that occurred from the ninth year of Yuanshuo to the eleventh year of Yuanshuo can be said to be extremely impressive to the Han people, there is a continuous rainy season in autumn, and in winter there is a continuous drizzle for half a month before the snow, and there is waterlogging in some areas, but the people would rather endure waterlogging than experience another drought.
The drought of nearly three years has been effective in the official response, and there has been no widespread hunger, but there have been significant changes to the original population clusters.
According to official records, the Northwest, which originally had a population of more than 1.3 million, was less than one million after the 12th year of the Yuan Dynasty, and more than 300,000 people chose to settle down after going to the Western Regions.
In the twelfth year of Yuan Shuo, the population of one million people in the northwest was not all the original northwesterners, and nearly 200,000 people from all over the country moved here.
In the traditional Central Plains, more than 200,000 people moved to the northwest, nearly 100,000 settled in the Western Regions, and more than 150,000 moved to the grasslands, with 1.4 million people moving to eastern Liaodong.
The population change south of the Yangtze River has been smaller, because the drought has not affected it too much.
Yangzhou, which was originally the most densely populated, forcibly relocated millions of people in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, most of them were forcibly relocated to the original Ningzhou and Guangzhou, and a small number of them moved to Jiaozhi.
By the tenth year of Yuanshuo, population gathering places such as Jiankang, Jianchang, and Wuxing were forced to relocate again.
This time, under the national policy of building a grain-producing area in Jingchu in the center, the population was relocated to the original Jingzhou.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that a national policy of restricting movement should be introduced."
Xie Ai, who is now one of the three servants, has just reported on the current population distribution of the country, and has repeatedly talked about the disadvantages of population mobility: "For example, if the central migration population goes to the land of Jingchu, but the people return to the east one after another.
If left unchecked, Jiankang will soon become a city of more than two million people. ” The land of Jingchu is a broad name, which is about the north of Hu1 and Hunan in the later Celestial Empire.
On the other hand, Yuan Shuo's eight-year plan for large-scale development, at the beginning, it was only invested in the Tuntian Corps, and the efficiency was too low to force the population to be moved.
Divided by the old administrative districts, the original Jingzhou was actually fine, but the so-called good was limited to the north and east of Changsha County, and the south and west were still a completely wild place.
The development of Jingchu land was carried out on the basis of the construction of the ancestors, that is, a perfect irrigation system was established around the Dongting Lake area, and then the wasteland was reclaimed and turned into fertile land.
It took three years for the Tuntian Corps to complete the construction of the irrigation system around Dongting Lake, and by the 11th year of Yuan Shuo, 300,000 hectares of fertile land had been reclaimed for the state.
In order to turn the land of Jingchu into an excellent grain-producing area, the most difficult thing is to develop the rest of the area, such as Lingling, Quanling, Yingyang, Wugang and other places.
Not all of the above-mentioned areas are suitable for grain production areas, such as Lingling and Yingyang, which are mountainous terrain, and are not suitable for grain production areas.
Involving Lingling and Yingyang, the premise of the construction of other areas is to divert water from Xiangshui and Yingshui, forming an irrigation area network that is interconnected with Zishui and Huanshui.
The Dongting Lake grain production area is only one of the construction plans, and according to the plan, it will take ten years to complete.
The entire Jingchu grain-producing area construction plan also includes the Poyang Lake grain-producing area and the Yangtze River Delta's Hanjiang Plain grain-producing area, and only in this way can it be attached to the scale that the center wants, but the center does not naively think that it can be completed within ten years, but is based on enough patience and intends to do it in batches for at least 35 years.
No matter what year it is, if you want to do something, you can't do it, and there is such a construction force as the Tuntian Corps in the center, but it really can't lack the participation of the people.
"I don't get it."
Liu Yan is genuinely confused: "Migration is based on the foundation of land replacement.
Didn't you give more land when you made the exchange?"
Xie Ai knew that Liu Yan hadn't finished speaking despite the pause, and quietly waited for the follow-up.
"Give land and policy."
Liu Yan continued to say in great confusion: "The local environment is really so bad that they can't survive, are they willing to give up the land and return to their hometown, or is the local government returning the land after they go back?"
"The central government has no policy, and the magistrates will not dare to do it, no matter how bold they are."
Cai You calmly gave the answer: "If you don't have the land under your name, you may become a tenant of the government, or you may enter the workshop or something like that, and there is always a way to continue to live." ” Xie Ai had to look at Cai You gratefully.
He wanted to talk about that just now, and he was extremely sure that saying it would make Liu Yan feel embarrassed, and after a little hesitation, Cai gave priority to say it first.
The current national policy of the Han Empire is somewhat chaotic, and it wants to restore agricultural production as much as possible, but it has introduced policies to encourage the development of industry.
The contradiction between the two ends is that people do not necessarily need to hold on to the land to survive, they can also rely on part-time work to earn wages to obtain living funds.
Jiankang has been repeatedly resettled, but it is often attractive to settle because it is a gathering place for handicrafts and can provide ample jobs.
Jiankang is a city that relies on merchants to supply food, and the vast majority of people's rations are purchased from various stores, not grown by themselves.
"I really ignored this" Liu Yan is not admitting his mistake, even if the world is wrong, it will not be his fault.
He didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed, and asked: "Is Mingda's proposal to restrict the movement of people to prevent more people from returning to their homeland, or is it worried that more people will abandon agriculture and become workers?"
"Your Majesty, there is no way to hinder the idea of the people becoming workers."
Xie Ai didn't dare to admit even if he really had that thought: "I think that workshops can be found everywhere, and there is no conflict between farming and working as a worker."

What worries is the arrangement of the population distribution of the Han Dynasty. ” Liu Yan thought about it for a while, and really forgot that it was the beginning of the dynasty to restrict the flow of population, but he knew that the starting point of all restrictions on the flow of population was really inseparable from farming.
The first dynasty in history to restrict population movement was the Qin state during the Warring States period, a policy that continued after the Qin dynasty ruled the world.
It is precisely because of the existence of this policy that Qin has an efficient mobilization system, otherwise the population flow is too large, let alone the mobilization of troops, whether it can ensure food supply is a difficult problem.
Liu Yan didn't expect that it was the pot of the Qin Empire, and he put the pot on top of Meng Yuan's head according to some vague fragments in his memory, and he was subconsciously very disgusted.
Of course, Liu Yan has long been not that Liu Yan, and he will not deny it arrogantly because of his inner disgust unless necessary.
What kind of position does the butt sit in, the way of thinking will change because of the different seats, Liu Yan has long known that there are contradictions in the national policy, and he has not come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, so he has no choice but to ignore it.
Xie Ai said that the two are not in conflict is a bit far-fetched, but it does not make it possible to explain the basis.
Farming is most important throughout the year, with spring and autumn being the most important.
After the spring planting, only a few people will go to the farmland every day to continue to take care of it, more occasionally remove weeds and tidy up the ridges, and more time before the spring planting is completed and the autumn is in the idle stage of idleness.
After the autumn harvest, farmers need to prepare for the next year's spring ploughing in the winter, such as raising seedlings or trimming the fields, but it really doesn't take three months or more, at most two months.
During the slack period, women have much more to do than men because of their family roles.
Men usually stay at home with nothing to do, or men will go out to hunt dogs and chickens, and there are inevitably some men who spend their energy on eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
So when you don't need to be busy with farming, you can indeed work in the workshop, Xie Ai's statement is not nonsense, the problem is that people who want to work can find a job.
"The national highway from Jiankang to Chang'an, in four years, has gone from being mostly deserted to now seeing villages and towns everywhere."
Cai You dared to tell the truth more than Xie Ai: "Although it is expected, it is a hidden worry in the country." ” The Han Empire absolutely did not want to see overpopulation, especially now that the population was so large, that overpopulation would be more likely to lead to deserted areas.
Liu Yan understood a little, and Cai You also believed that policies to limit population movement should be introduced.
In later generations, it was said that restricting the movement of people would also eliminate the germ of industrial development.
There is such a statement because it is difficult to get the industry to scale without enough workers.
And unless the population of a certain place is sufficient in itself, and for one reason or another there is a primitive concentration of handicrafts, otherwise there will be no rudiments of the initial industry.
In the early period, the first handicraft gathering place in Zhuxia was in Linzi, and the reason why the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period was able to become a hegemon relied on the industrial economic profits generated by the gathering of handicrafts in Linzi.
The current Han Empire has the prototype of an industrial base in Jiankang, not because Liu Yan planned to have such signs, but because the foundation had been created during the small court period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Liu Yan knew that industry was the future of the nation, and at the same time, he also understood that there would be no future without enough food, and it was precisely in this way that he realized that there were contradictions in national policies and were not completely inclined to ensure agriculture or vigorously support industry.
"The national highway gathers the population" Liu Yan didn't know what the ministers thought, he said: "In your opinion, there are only disadvantages, not benefits" Cai You was asked.
"The ministers are worried that the migration of people will become useless."
Xie Ai chose to block the gun and said cautiously: "The people can go freely to both sides of the national highway, and it is naturally excellent to get land, and there is no way to settle down." ” Liu Yan has long known that the national highway will gather people, and he is happy to see such a development.
He knew very well that unless the national highways in later generations were really desolate areas, there would be many prosperous towns along the way.
Once the national highway is built, it forms a transport corridor in itself.
The transport corridor will gradually develop into an economic corridor by attracting people to carry out various services along the way.
Now this is the case, and the locals along the national highway are the first to benefit, and if they can buy and sell land freely, I don't know how many people will become rich in an instant.
Even if they could not buy and sell land freely, they could build a house, or start their own business, or rent out the building, and they did not become rich instantly, and they went to the road to prosperity much earlier than people in other places.
"I see."
Liu Yan needed to think about it and waved his hand: "You guys are busy." ” Cai You and Xie Ai glanced at each other, and bowed silently and retreated for a while before turning to leave.
When it snows, no one will move around in snowy weather unless it's a whim.
Miyagi will not be because it is the residence of the people who control the world, and it will not snow in this place, and Cai You and Xie Ai, who walked in the corridor indoors, did not walk fast, but they were silent for a long time.
At a bend, the two stopped in tacit understanding.
"Your Majesty is in a dilemma."
Cai You contacted Liu Yan much earlier and longer than Xie Ai, and persuaded him: "This issue cannot be mentioned again in a short time. ” "Agriculture is the foundation of the people and the foundation of the country."
Xie Ai did not give a positive response: "The Han Dynasty is an indigenous person who can squeeze the Indochina Peninsula and the Asan Continent, and constantly obtain food from overseas.
However, since there is a plan for the construction of grain-producing areas in the country, the plan has also been put into action.
Shouldn't it be more resolute?"
Cai You laughed a few times, not angry because his kindness was not accepted: "Mingda, you have seen muskets and artillery, thinking that they came out of thin air" Xie Ai didn't understand what Cai You meant for a while: "Please also ask your seniors to teach me."
"Mingda's close service to His Majesty is not long" Cai You is really not relying on the old and selling the old, and dragged a long end before continuing: "I don't know if Mingda has heard His Majesty talk about the word industry" Xie Ai only had the opportunity to have frequent contact with Liu Yan when he became a servant, and it was nearly a year when he was full, and he shook his head blankly: "Not yet." ” "Then it's no wonder."
Cai You has no malicious intent, but at this moment, he is full of superiority.
He smiled and said reservedly: "Then Mingda will be able to understand what His Majesty is thinking and thinking if he thinks about it carefully." ” Xie Ai saluted Cai You and left, his mind was full of the word "industry", and he made up his mind to figure out what it was
