Chapter 361: The Centennial of National Pig Raising
Dongou and Ye County mentioned by Ren Hong are not currently a primeval forest uninhabited area, but a region that has been developed for hundreds of years. When King Goujian of Yue, Fan Li had already gone south to build Dongou City as the rear of the Yue Kingdom.
During the Warring States Period, Yue was destroyed by Chu State. Yue and the Yue kings went south with their remnants to establish the Dongou State and the Minyue State. During the Chu-Han period, the two Yues also participated in the anti-Qin and anti-Xiang coalition forces as the younger brother of King Wu Rui of Changsha, and were named foreign princes by Liu Bang.
During the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, King Liu Bi of Wu fled south and was killed by the King of Dong'ou. His prince fled into Minyue and encouraged the King of Minyue to attack Dong'ou. In the third year of Jianyuan in Xiaowu (138 BC), the Han army took sea routes to resolve the trap of Dong'ou, and the King of Dong'ou requested to move inward.
During the Yuanding period, the Han army divided into four groups to attack and destroy Minyue. Xiaowu believed that the Dongyue area was narrow and obstructed, and the Minyue people were strong and repeated several times, so he moved it inward and was between the Jianghuai River and Huai River.
In later generations, thousands of miles of Fujian were empty in southern Zhejiang, and only one Dong'ou Township and one Ye County were retained, which belonged to Kuaiji County. Most of the residents in the county were Yue people, with only a few Han officials and garrison troops. Those Yue people who were not migrated and scattered in the mountains were not listed as the Han households.
Ren Hong thought that after more than thirty years of being empty, the time for developing Dongou and Minyue was coming, so he first imitated the Zhou Dynasty to enfeoff one or two princes and kings, so that they could work hard to open the mountains and forests.
As soon as this statement was made, the censor Tian Guangming objected:
"The Marquis of Xi'an is a mistake. Dongou, Minyue is a border area and it is not suitable to be appointed as a prince."
Tian Guangming was right, the princes and princes were not enthroned in the border areas. This was a national policy that had been implemented for a full eighty years after the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Xiaojing, Wu and Chu.
In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang wiped out Xiang Yu and began to enthrone the princes, mostly placed on the border, such as King Wu Rui of Changsha, King Lu Wan of Yan, and King Han of Han, who were willing to enfeoff the powerful princes and kings to help guard the border.
As a result, in addition to Wu Rui, the treason and the defectors had to be dealt with by Liu Bang himself.
Liu Bang felt that this was because of different surnames and different intentions. When he was granted the title of princes of the same surname, he still asked them to spread the slander and to slaughter the world, and to connect with Hu and Yue.
The result was either like Liu Xi, the King of Dai, who took the lead in abandoning the country and fleeing when the Huns were opened, or like Liu Chang, the King of Huainan, and Liu Bi, the King of Wu, who colluded with Minyue and disrupted the Han people's world.
The court learned from the pain and began to rectify the land and cut off the land. Therefore, Yan did not have northern border counties, Wu, Huainan, and Changsha. Starting from Xiaowu, the division of princes and princes was generally followed by two principles: one was not in Xingyang and west of Taihang Mountain, and the other was not in the border counties.
This is the national policy of the Han Dynasty. Like the White Horse Alliance, which was not a king in the Liu family, it will not be changed easily.
So if you want to take three steps in one step and enthrone the princes to Jiaozhi, Yunnan, and even the northeast of the Three Han Japanese Islands to open up a vast world. At least, before Liu Bingyi took power, he would not even think about it.
Ren Hong smiled and said, "The Censor's words are reasonable. The princes and kings should not let them approach the border, but this Dongou, the land of Ye County, is not connected to the border!"
Tian Guangming opened his mouth and wanted to refute, then he was stunned.
Indeed, Tian Guangming fell into a trap of common thinking. Although in the eyes of the Han people in the Central Plains, Dongou Minyue is a wilderness in Baiyue, it is indeed not next to the border!
Ren Hongzhenzhen said: "In the east, Vietnam connects Nanhai County, the west, Yuzhang County, and the north, the Kuaiji County, how can the border counties come from?"
If the sea to the east is also considered a border, the Qi State and others during the Xiaowu period should not be enfeoffed. Kuaiji County also set up Wuxi Hou, Jurong Hou, etc., which can prove that after the destruction of Fujian, Vietnam and Yue, Kuaiji will no longer be regarded as a border county.
Times changed, and the Han Dynasty expanded too quickly, and the former border had become an inner county, which made Tian Guangming appear as a clown. Tian Yannian reacted at the beginning, so he kept silent at first, and only mentioned the difficulty of inconvenient transportation in Dongou, Minyue.
Ren Hong did not think this was a problem: "It is not difficult to move tens of thousands of people in Fujian and Yue in the Great Honglu period, but it is not difficult to get a prince and bring thousands of servants in the palace to go there?"
It is indeed possible to justify itself, but it does not arouse much opposition, but no one agrees. As for General Huo Guang...
He didn't care about this at all!
Anyway, the money for the title of kings and the country was released from the emperor's small treasury, while Dongou and Minyue now have only one county, so they are not happy to get it, and they are willing to abandon it. Huo Guang finally made a decision as one of the proposals and submitted it to the emperor for a decision. General Huo occasionally lets the emperor make a decision on such a trivial matter related to the royal family.
Tian Yannian guessed in his heart: "Ren Hong may have seen that the abolition of the four princes this time, killing or releasing, will make the Liu surname in the world frightened, so he wanted the emperor to keep the Qinghe Kingdom's destiny. As the saying goes, the country will be prosperous and destroyed, and the people in the world will return to their hearts..."
"The idea was good, but he forgot that the princes and princes and marquis were pampered and moved to Dongou and Minyue. For those who were exiled, they might not only be grateful, but also aroused resentment."
So the Great Honglu did not try his best to stop it, but instead was happy to see it happen.
He thought he had seen the first floor, but he didn't know that Ren Hong had figured out the fifth floor...
In Ren Hong's view, no matter how long it takes to reach a thousand miles without taking a single step, the immigration and colonization must take into account the distance and cost, so it must go from near to far. The most suitable for large-scale development is naturally Jingyang. The northern part of the two states is already very prosperous, and the southern part of Changsha, Yuzhang, and Jiangdong also has Chu, and Yue has been developed for hundreds of years.
Jiangdong is really the promised land of the Han Dynasty. Rice is ripe twice a year, and slashing and fire can also be harvested. Shrimp, crab, fish and clams can be returned with full load when they are free of food. The land is ripe and eats freely, and there is no hunger. Therefore, even south of the Jianghuai River, there are no families with a wealth of gold or hunger. Only Kuaiji County includes later generations of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a population of nearly one million.
As long as northern immigrants can adapt to rice and slightly hot environments and take root, the land of Jiangdong can accommodate tens of millions of people. Ren Hong hopes that the prosperity scene of "promoting one and gaining two" in the Tang Dynasty in history, which was rich and rich, and the world could appear hundreds of years in advance.
Jingyang is the first step, while Fujian and Guangdong are the second step. Although Fujian has eight mountains, one water and one branch of fields, no matter how narrow the mountain basins in Dongou and Minyue are, due to the climate, water and soil, they can at least feed hundreds of thousands of people, which is better than the pitiful 30,000 people in Dunhuang County, his hometown.
Ren Hong also has a deeper plan: "Dongou, Fujian will be the base for the Han Dynasty to go abroad in the future. It is better not to support too much population, so that people can be forced to go overseas!"
To be honest, in ancient times, when serious people were full and full, who would immigrate?
Only those who cannot survive by farming can do business and survive outside. Businesses in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Chaoshan, Guangdong and Putian, Fujian are spread all over the country and even the world. In history, the three main players of overseas immigration in China, southern Fujian, Hakka and Chaoshan, all came from Fujian and Guangdong, which is by no means a coincidence.
Because of its remoteness, it is not easy to be affected by war. Over the past few hundred years, it has prospered and flourished, with few lands and many people. In order to make a living, the people of Fujian began to run outwards since the Song Dynasty, either going into the mountains or going into the sea. The ones that are near to Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan, and the ones that are far away, have become a scattered overseas Chinese.
It is not feasible to rely solely on forced orders from the government to expand immigration and colonial expansion. The people have to voluntarily and voluntarily. When the population of Fujian is saturated and people there have to seek food overseas, the era of sailing belonging to the Han Dynasty will truly come!
Ren Hong only felt that he might not see that day. But it was enough to lay the first foundation for the future, so that the "eight surnames entering Fujian" would be four hundred years ahead of schedule, and send a few princes to develop first. During the Zhou Dynasty, the vast land of Dongyi was a little bit assimilated into the core of China by the princes.
Anyway, the Liu family has a tough nature and can give birth and raise well. Like King Jing of Zhongshan, there are hundreds or dozens of sons at any time. The Pig Marquis stayed in the Central Plains to waste money. It is better to send them to Ou Min to show their strengths. Even if they are not adapted to the local conditions and die ten kings in ten years, they can continue to inherit their successions.
After decades of development, we will find an excuse to abolish the princes and take back two counties. By then, the saturated population in Jiangdong will just continue southward.
Ren Hong knew that if this matter was done, the princes who were ordered to move to Fujian were smiling and answering the imperial edict, and they might have scolded his ancestors to death in their hearts. They would rather go to Yandao, Shu County to accompany Liu He to eat sausage than to go to Fujian.
But Ren Hong didn't care, he just laughed secretly:
"The country has been raising pigs for 130 years, and the day of justice and death is today!"
...
The result of the court discussion in Chengming Palace was soon sent to Liu Bingyi's case. As the first political matter he had handled in almost a year since he ascended the throne, he pretended not to care at all, but attached great importance to it in his heart. He immediately read all the proposals of the two palaces and the nine ministers and marquises. He had already made a decision in his heart how to deal with the kings.
Because what King Guangchuan did was horrifying, all the ministers ordered him to be killed, but Liu Bingyi thought: "The only princes who have been killed in the Han Dynasty for 130 years were the only ones, King Peng Yue of Liang..."
Even if the beasts on earth, such as King Yan Liu Dingguo and King Jiangdu Liu Jian, had traces of rebellion in addition to their crimes, they were just a decision to kill them. Then Emperor Xiaowu sent someone to ask him to commit suicide and retain his last bit of dignity as a prince.
According to Liu Bingyi's original intention, he really wanted to kill Liu and let him taste the tragic death of those concubines. But if he really did this, he would probably be regarded as a ruthless tyrant.
After hesitating for a moment, he succumbed to the emperor's identity and interests, and convicted Liu Qu to abandon the market and eliminate the country, but sent an eunuch to force him to commit suicide.
But he did not exempt Liu Qu's accomplice, Queen Zhaoxin of Guangchuan, and directly sentenced to kill him and executed him after Qiu Hou.
The other people were sentenced to a reduction of one level according to the crime. King Liu Zhonggu of Zichuan and King Liu Nian of Qinghe were all sentenced to death, and they also sent people to force him to commit suicide.
The King of Changsha, Liu Jiande, was relatively minor in his crimes and moved to Fangling. Liu Bingyi, referring to Ren Hong's proposal, abolished the Changsha Kingdom, and the palace property of the four princes were confiscated. The treasury should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Bingyi finally thought about Ren Hong's proposal, preserve the Qinghe Kingdom's destiny, and made Liu Fu, the prince of Liu Nian, the report of Liu Nian, the king, and moved to Dongou.
He noticed one thing: "Although Qinghe had an incest, he did not rebel. Why did the Xi'an Hou use to control Cai and Liu Changlai to compare it with him?"
There may be a hidden word here. Liu Bingyi thought for a while and felt that the proposal of Xi'an Hou was not aimed at Qinghe Kingdom, but someone else.
Xiao Zhao was executed when he was stolen. Who was the one whose descendants became common people? Of course it was Liu Dan, the king of Yan assassination!
Thinking of this, Liu Bingyi felt aroused his heart. This time he deposed the four kings and killed three monarchs and eight marquises. Although he was to cater to the desire of the general Huo Guang, he would definitely be discussed by people all over the world. The song "One foot of cloth can be sewn" is probably about to sing again, which is not good for him to firmly sit in the Liu family.
The best way to deal with it is to Xingmiao Jijue. It tells the world that the emperor is not a person who does not care about family affection, but the best candidate to win people's hearts is to the sons of the Swordsman.
When Liu Dan, the king of Yan assassination, committed suicide, his three sons were still young, and the oldest prince Liu Jian was only fifteen or sixteen years old this year. The general asked his ministers to discuss the crime of assassination of Yan assassination. According to the meaning of "Spring and Autumn", it is not appropriate to be established for the son of the king, and the State of Yan was abolished. However, now the new emperor ascended the throne, or refer to the story of Xiaowen re-establishing the three sons of King Li of Huainan as kings, and re-establishing one person as a prince.
The candidate for the King of Minyue is here!
Liu Bingyi showed a smile on his lips, and understood what Ren Hong really wanted to remind him in his long-winded proposal.
"The one who ordered the King of Yan to commit suicide was General Xiaozhaohe. What does it have to do with me, the new emperor?"
...
"I heard that Taibo and Zhongyong went to the country to fight for Wu. Even though he was in Jingman, he was also the leader of the Ji family. However, Cai Shu was guilty of being the king and Duke Zhou appointed Cai Zhong as a marquis. He was a relative of his family and flesh, but it was not different."
"Now, Liu Nian, abolished King of Qinghe, should be punished if he is guilty. However, his brother Liu Fu made great contributions to the surrender of King Zuo, and moved the country to Dongou, becoming the King of Dongou!"
"The other is named Liu Qing, the prince of Yan, and Liu Xian, the marquis of Anding, and established the former prince of Yan, Liu Jian, in Ye County, and the King of Minyue! He was appointed as the king of Zi Chishe and Jian'er country, and was granted the title of Nantu and was appointed as the auxiliary of the Han vassal for generations."
A few days later, the two books were delivered to the Shangshutai, and after approval by the general, Ren Hong also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
It seems that my hidden proposal has been conveyed at least. Although Huo Guang and Tian Yannian attacked the princes, this group of pigs should be rectified, but the final decision is the emperor. Killing one group of people to help another group can maintain balance.
But if the Yan State is restored directly, it may make the general unhappy, but it is different to enthrone Liu Jian in Minyue. In the eyes of court officials, it is like exile and moving far away, and this is just right.
Liu Jian himself was re-established as a prince from the commoner of the sinner's son, and he should be grateful to the new emperor.
Ren Hong was able to take every step forward from the singular hints of Ren Hong, and Ren Hong was only impressed by Liu Bingyi's intelligence and growth.
"Look at this ability to learn from others. This is the reason for being an emperor. Ah He, please learn something!"
