Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1177
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Zhezi left Tongguan and returned to Luoyang.There are also some representatives of Kansai Shiliu and Xiangzong accompanying them. Although Xingtai did not force them to follow, each of them must have a certain sense of being the conquered.

As for how to arrange the township and clan portals in these new territories, it is also a big and small problem for Xingtai.

In previous years, during the Huainan Dudufu period, although there were many expansions, this problem was relatively not too serious.

At that time, Shen Zhezi, as the governor of Huainan, had military powers far more than administrative powers, so the promulgation of government orders was inevitably simple and simple, and everything served the military.Coupled with the conflict between the center and Huainan at that time, the atmosphere was quite tense. Even if those township sects had any political intentions, they did not dare to be too eager.

But now, Xingtai itself is a domineering institution under military and political control, and Jiangdongtai Province has been completely emptied.Therefore, it is also a matter that needs to be paid attention to quickly bringing these newly affiliated township sects into the order of Xingtai.

Xingtai currently has a complete personnel structure and execution efficiency, and even an echelon for talent training has been formed.Therefore, in terms of the actual reconstruction of local order, there is actually no need to rely too much on these village clans.

Just before Shen Zhezi returned to Luoyang, Xingtai had selected and recruited nearly a thousand grassroots officials and officials from local townships and villages. Currently, Hongnong and Shangluo are also dilapidated places, and there are tens of thousands of royal teachers stationed there. In the environment, during the period of years and years, a top-down order can almost be constructed.

But this does not mean that these township sects can be completely ignored and not dealt with.

Regardless of the resources such as people and land in the hands of these people, they alone have the ability to organize production and fight. Maybe they have different structures and visions, but they are definitely rare talents in the current world. .

If these people are completely excluded from the ruling order, they will become unstable factors in the world.Therefore, even without considering the actual contributions that these people can make, simply keeping them within the ruling order is itself an important means of stabilizing social order and eliminating potential threats.

In terms of local governance in Xingtai, there are two red lines that actually exist although they are not clearly listed in laws and regulations, that is, land and people.In fact, if it is not for the purpose of abiding by these two red lines and not crossing them, with the power that Xingtai currently possesses, directly entering the pass, the local tyrants will definitely be invincible, and will not encounter any too stubborn resistance.

Just like the attack on Hongnong this time, although it seems that the Yang family of Hongnong joined forces with the village and stood firm, in fact, as long as Shen Zhezi was willing to negotiate terms with them, Hongnong could be taken back without weapons.Take Hedong for example, when Shen Zhezi was willing to lower his pressure on those township clans, they were all happy to return to Xingtai.

At present, Master Wang's battle strategy is also deliberately increasing the difficulty, because Shen Zhezi is stubborn on these two red lines and is unwilling to retain too much of the past rural order.In this way, it is necessary to be careful at every step, and be on guard against the backlash from these village sects at any time.

Even so, the digestion and absorption of these village and clan talents is a problem that must be solved.

After returning to Luoyang, Shen Zhezi didn't have time to spare, so he immediately summoned Du He and other officials to discuss how to arrange these township families in Xinfu counties and counties.

In fact, in this regard, Xingtai already has various mature means, and we will discuss it now, but it is just to make sure that this matter is a clear goal of Xingtai every year.

Township clans are difficult to deal with, one is the actual village resources such as land and trilogy controlled by each sect, the other is the reputation and appeal accumulated in the native land, and the third is the relatively outstanding clansmen in each sect.

In fact, with regard to these issues, the Huainan Metropolitan Government in previous years also implemented various government orders, but some of these regulations were temporary expedients that did not have the right time, and some were full of military color, such as the early years of the Metropolitan Government’s Jiagong food delivery, After entering Heluo, the military merits were granted, and so on.

Land is the foundation of life and rule, so in the past few years, in terms of land distribution, Shen Zhezi has also implemented a number of decrees for experiments and reforms.It was not until last year that Xingtai promulgated a relatively tough land policy called the Return to Farming Order.

There are many aspects involved in the return to farming order, one of the more important ones is the abolition of the ban.

Regardless of whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, the desire for land is an instinct that penetrates into the bones. It is the same in both the north and the south.

Especially in war-torn areas, those township tyrants with their own powerful fighting power have almost no competitors in this regard. They each control a large amount of mountain forests and farmland.Ordinary ordinary people have no objection to this at all, because they also require shelter from these tyrants to ensure personal safety, and only rely on the protection of these tyrants to carry out production.

For example, the Xue family in Hedong is the largest landlord on the ground in Fenyin, and the land under its name is simply more than the cultivated land occupied by the Wuxing Shen family who is known as the leader of Jiangdong.Of course, this has nothing to do with morality, but a special phenomenon formed under a special background. Only in this way can effective production and survival be guaranteed.

The requirement of the return to farming order in this regard is that as long as there is no record of cultivation within three years, all acres of land will be nationalized. This is mainly for the land south of the Huai River, similar to Luoyang and the land along the Yellow River. But a few years ago.

This regulation is tantamount to a one-size-fits-all approach, collecting and sorting out a large amount of land that is beyond the capacity of reclamation in the countryside. With these lands in hand, the various government orders can have a foothold in their implementation.

Although the decree was tough, it did not cause much disturbance. On the one hand, it was because Jiangnan still had the problem of underdevelopment. Except for some particularly developed areas, there was still a lot of wasteland. On the other hand, it was the production order in Jiangbei. It has been extremely severely damaged, and there are also a large amount of abandoned land.

Therefore, in terms of land issues, except for some special areas such as Guangling and Xiangyang, where a large number of refugees gather, there are no serious problems of mergers that often occur in the middle and late stages of a unified dynasty.

During this period, the most serious problem was the lack of productivity.The land is sufficient, but the labor force is limited, and the most sensitive parts of those clan clans are also their respective shady households.

This problem has not become too serious in the short term. Not to mention that during the Huainan Governor's Mansion, it spared no effort to recover the refugees. Now it can be said that it has been completely digested, and all of them have been arranged into production, providing vigorous vitality and vitality to the Heluo area.

But since then, the population problem has gradually become prominent.Regardless of Guanzhong or Hebei, these township sects living in troubled times have a stronger sense of crisis, and it is almost impossible to extract manpower from them through gentle means.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi's tough attitude in this Western Expedition is actually an excuse. Since conventional methods are not enough, then violent destruction will be used.The control of the population has nothing to do with the cost, it is the most important objective constraint on the development of Xingtai.

Even if these tough measures might drive some Xiangzong to the hostile side, Shen Zhezi does not intend to make concessions on this, and must ensure the continuous growth of Xingtai's registered population.Only when the population continues to grow, can the various constructions of Xingtai have their existence meaning.

In other words, in the future, whether these township sects require political prestige or personal future, there is room for discussion.But only in terms of population, anyone who dares to cross the border will die!

Even if it would delay the entire Northern Expedition unification process, Shen Zhezi would not allow that kind of rural forces that sheltered and occupied a large population to exist under the rule of Xingtai.

At the Xingtai meeting, Shen Zhezi once again emphasized this issue. All the Xingtai officials also felt the general's firm determination in this regard. Families must not cross this minefield.

In the final analysis, the most glorious road ahead of them is a great political future. Compared with them, being keen on private affairs and entrenched in the countryside is a kind of unambitious idea.

In the post-war reconstruction of Shangluo, Hongnong and other places, there is basically no problem of rural capital.Even Hongnong Yang's old-fashioned family was eradicated by iron and blood. Even if those village and clan forces were unwilling, they could only endure it temporarily.

As for a place like Hedong that has not experienced the ravages of swords and soldiers, it will not become a place outside the law.Although those shady households will not be forced to return to their hometowns for the time being, the establishment of the Hedong Military Mansion itself is a beginning. Through the military mansion, some private shady villages will be transformed into active soldiers, and the combat power of the living people scattered among those villages will be integrated. stand up.

In terms of promulgating various government orders, one of Shen Zhezi's biggest advantages is that he has plenty of time, and he doesn't insist on doing everything in one step, and strives for the success of the day.

Whether it is the original Huainan, or the later Xuzhou, including the current Heluo, in fact, they do not insist on uniform standards in terms of government orders, but each has considerable differences.Through this kind of governance step by step, a situation of unified government and decree was gradually reached.Underneath the strong appearance, it is actually full of governance flexibility tailored to local conditions.

For example, this time the newly recovered Shangluo, Hongnong, and later Guanzhong wanted to quickly restore order. Shen Zhezi planned to adopt the land equalization order and directly grant land according to his nationality.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not plan to make peace with those Guanzhong tyrants in the first place. Only after they are completely beaten and subdued can the implementation of government orders be less restrictive.Otherwise, even if the army rushes into Sanfu rashly and occupies Guanzhong, once it is implemented in this way, all parties will definitely be in turmoil. It is impossible for those powerful to tolerate the implementation of this kind of decree that loses both people and land.

The reason why this kind of government order that has not been implemented before is to be implemented in Guanzhong is because the situation in Guanzhong is too complicated and there are too many miscellaneous people. Forced to kill them all is the next strategy. Without that time, the cost is too high.

After all, Guanzhong Han and Hu have lived together for a long time, even if they blindly kill them, they lack an effective screening method.If the Hu people killed too hard, the Han people would also suffer greatly.

And it is very possible that the credibility of the Han people in Guanzhong may not be much higher than that of the Hu people.After all, they have grown up in such an environment for a long time, facing various practical problems and dilemmas that need to be solved, the appeal and sense of identity of blood and legal system have become extremely fragile.

Only by forcing them to change their fundamental mode of production and stimulating their enthusiasm for production through the land, and the land will in turn bind and restrict them.

The terrain in Guanzhong itself is relatively closed. Only by integrating local forces based on this can we remove those thorns one by one in an orderly manner, without requiring heavy troops to station in Guanzhong for a long time, which seriously slows down the pace of the entire Northern Expedition.

Of course, these considerations are based on the fact that Wang Shi has an absolute advantage in combat power in the current Guanzhong battle.Only through this kind of overwhelming coercion can the implementation and maturity cycle of a decree be shortened to the greatest extent, and at the same time, various opposition trends in the country can be quickly and effectively extinguished.
