Chapter 1078 New National Development Strategy

Chapter 1088 New National Development Strategy
In the early days of the founding of the later Celestial Dynasty, Taizu issued an important instruction that "the educated youth go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants". As a result, tens of millions of urban youths rushed to the frontier and the countryside. Accelerated the stability and development of border areas.However, Ran Ming also put forward similar instructions, but the response was rare.

Empress Xie Daoyun saw Ran Ming's distress, and was anxious in her heart.But Xie Daoyun didn't want to give the impression that Ran Ming's harem interfered in politics, and he didn't take the initiative to ask.However, Ran Ming's worried look, instead of weakening with the passage of time, became more serious.Xie Daoyun couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines also know about military affairs, and the harem must not interfere, but you have to take care of your health. In just a few days, you have lost a lot of weight!"

"Haha!" Hearing this, Ran Ming laughed and said, "For others, military and political secrets cannot be easily leaked, but it makes you different from others. You and I are husband and wife, we share weal and woe, to tell you the truth, This time, I plan to manage Chu and Ting prefectures so that they can become important western towns in the Great Wei Dynasty, but now Chu and Ting prefectures are very dilapidated after the war and sparsely populated. Let alone development, they can even become Anxi Army The logistics and supply bases are very difficult. If Chuting and Tingzhou are to become the western important towns of the Wei State, not only must they provide food and grass for the army, but also various supporting facilities are essential. However, to develop Chuting and Tingzhou, in my opinion, there is still a heavy responsibility And the road is far away!"

Xie Daoyun said: "Your Majesty, why don't you follow the example of Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu?"

"Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu?" Ran Ming was also confused for a moment: "You mean?"

"Move the rich households from all over the world to Guanzhong!" Xie Daoyun said: "At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong was in chaos and the population loss was huge. Han Gaozu moved rich households from all over the world to Guanzhong. If your Majesty wants to develop the two prefectures of Chu and Ting, why not move the common people from the eight prefectures of Xuyang. If the world is fixed, the center will flourish, and if the world is chaotic, it will be settled in the corner. Yecheng is for The foundation of the world should not be moved lightly. But the eight counties of Xuyang are different. The eight counties of Xuyang originally moved from the Central Plains to the south because of the chaos of China. The eight counties of Xuyang inherited the population and wealth of the north. Only then did they prosper, and now if Chu and Ting prefectures are to prosper, the best thing is to let the people of the eight prefectures of Xuyang move in."

Ran Ming listened to Xie Daoyun's words and remained silent. In fact, Ran Ming also knew that Xie Daoyun's considerations were definitely not limited to the simple superficial issues of Chu Chu and Ting Erzhou. In fact, Xie Daoyun also had deeper considerations.As the daughter of the noble family giant Chen Jun Xie, Xie Daoyun knows the way of survival of the noble family, and also knows the energy and background of the noble family.

In fact, the noble families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a lot of resentment towards Ran Ming. First, Ran Ming created the imperial examination system, which monopolized the monopoly of the ruling power of those noble families. Ran Ming invented movable type printing, and created a three-level education for the common people. It is also equivalent to cutting off the monopoly of the gentry's clan on cultural knowledge. What's more, Ran Ming tried his best to suppress the price of food, and obtained a large amount of food from Nanyang, which saved the people from the crisis of famine, but this cut off the gentry's way of making money.We must know that in ancient times, every natural disaster and military disaster was the best time for the noble family to develop and grow.

Due to natural disasters and military disasters, the number of refugees increased, and the noble families could obtain private slaves and private households at extremely low prices. Moreover, due to the lack of food due to natural disasters and military disasters, the noble clan families could use their food savings to make a fortune in national calamity.In the year [-] of the Yellow Emperor's Era, due to a heavy rain disaster in Yizhou on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the middle and lower reaches were also greatly affected, there were as many as hundreds of counties and counties that had not harvested grains, and many had reduced production. There are more than [-] counties and counties. According to the past, it is unreasonable for this huge disaster not to starve to death or die of illness, or to have dozens of civil uprisings of various sizes.However, under the efficient operation of the Wei State court, the disaster loss has not changed much from the past, but the results are very different. Although the disaster that spread over more than [-] counties has tens of thousands of casualties, but There are very few incidents of starvation.

Seeing the fat meat that was about to come to their mouths, those gentry elites were afraid to speak because of Ran Ming's deterrence. This made those gentry elites feel depressed. Although Ran Ming tried his best to avoid the death of countless innocent people in vain, But he offended many noble families.Ran Ming could even imagine that those aristocrats would draw circles and curse him.

At this time, Xie Daoyun proposed to relocate the rich households in the eight counties of Xuyang. This time, Ran Ming ordered Ran Yun and Ran Yun to travel in micro-clothes. The reports of Ran Yun and Ran Yun on this trip can be said to be official memorials , Ran Ming didn't see any problem.I'm afraid Xie Daoyun heard something.

Ran Ming mused, "Jiangnan has just been established, and people's hearts are unstable. If the wealthy households are forced to relocate, it will cause turmoil!"

Xie Daoyun said: "Whether there is turmoil or not depends on how to do it. In fact, everyone with a discerning eye now knows that although Jiankang, like Luoyang and Chang'an, is listed as one of the three capitals of Wei State, Jiankang's decline has become a fact. It's just that people are greedy and lazy Lao, since he grew up here, he doesn’t want to move unless there are big benefits or great persecution. What His Majesty has to do now is just try to push them.”

Ran Ming thought for a while, and gradually came up with an idea.Then Ran Ming held a cabinet meeting.According to the Wei cabinet system, the cabinet of officials below the county level can be appointed according to the regulations, while officials at the level of county prefects and state governors need to be nominated by the cabinet and reviewed by the emperor.

As for the competition for official positions in the two new states of Chu and Ting, it is obviously not as popular as the three states of the Indochina Peninsula, although the Indochina Peninsula was also considered by the Central Plains to be a land outside of civilization and a barren land.However, after Ran Ming and Sima Dan’s development and exploration of the Indochina Peninsula, the situation here has gradually become familiar to people. Although the Indochina Peninsula is a little hotter, with a lot of wind and rain, the climate here is very suitable for the growth of crops. Ancient China was a land based on agriculture. In a country based on the foundation, everyone attaches great importance to agriculture. Our ancestors would not take good land out of their doors anyway. Therefore, for the officials of the three states and counties in the central and southern states, many officials think that new land is easy to produce. results, so they are scrambling to go to the land of the three states.

But for Chuzhou and Tingzhou in the far west, they are not so enthusiastic.It can be said that there is a lack of interest.When all the cabinet ministers arrived, Ran Ming said: "Tingzhou and Chuzhou are the new lands of the Great Wei. In order to make a smooth transition, I plan to set up Anxi Governor on the basis of the two prefectures of Tingchu to be in charge of governing Tingchu. The civil affairs of the two prefectures. I wonder if the cabinet has any recommendations for the governor of Anxi?"

In charge of the big governor of the two prefectures, Wei State did not have this official position before, and there is no precedent to follow. However, although Chuzhou and Tingzhou are only two states, these two prefectures are the two largest prefectures in Wei State. The combined area is more than 500 million kilometers, which is almost the sum of the area of ​​the thirteen prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Managing such a large area requires not only loyalty, seniority, prestige, but also ability.Nowadays, there are not a few capable people in the court of Wei State, but it is hard to pick out those who agree with the above four conditions.First of all, let’s talk about qualifications. Wei’s territorial expansion is very fast, and most of those who can meet the requirements of a prefectural governor are in office. If you want to choose the governor of Anxi, you must first consider the former governor of 21 prefectures, followed by ministers or ministers of various ministries.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ran Ming asked Prime Minister Wang Jian with a smile, "Prime Minister Wang has a plan in his mind, has he already thought about it?"

Wang Jian was at a loss for words for a while, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have heard of Han Kangbo?"

Han Kangbo is Han Bo's surname.This person is a famous metaphysician and exegesis in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was born in a poor family, and later he was promoted to be a scholar.When Sima Yu was Situ, he was cited as a talker, and transferred from Situ Zuoxi to Fujunyu, Zhongshulang, Sanqi Changshi, Yuzhang Taishou, and Shizhong (the full name is Zhongshu Shizhong, which means that there is no prime minister. famous prime minister.)
Ran Ming pondered, although Han Bolun's reputation is not as good as Xie An, Wang Tanzhi, Xi Chao and others, but he can be regarded as a leader in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is famous all over the world.Judging from his resume, from the assistant officer to the regular servant of Sanqi to the prefect, and then to the servant, it can be regarded as from the local to the central, with experience at all levels.However, Ran Ming did not make a decision immediately, but said to the cabinet ministers: "I am not familiar with Han Kangbo, so I don't know what you think about it?"

Wang Ning, the imperial historian, came out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Han Kangbo has the great talent of guarding the shepherd's side, and he is also unparalleled in the world in terms of thinking and debate. However, the supervision of the barbarians in Anxi is undoubtedly the same. Being capable and talented, good at caring the people, is enough to take on great responsibilities."

In fact, Wang Ning opposed Han Bo not because Han Bo was not capable enough, but because Han Bo was an official attached to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and belonged to the southern line of Wei. show off.Cui Yi was born in a famous family, and his father Cui Yu was also one of the [-] soldiers and civilians who died in the Yongxing disaster, and he belonged to Wei Guo's meritorious descendants.

How could Ran Ming not know that the ministers of the cabinet competed and repelled each other, Ran Ming smiled, and at this moment the Minister of Finance Xie An said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the situation is like?"

Jinglue is Wang Meng's nickname. No one in Wei State knows who Wang Meng is. He is one of Ran Ming's teachers, the emperor's tutor, Ran Ming's mastermind, and his confidant.In terms of loyalty, Wang Meng has no second thoughts about Ran Ming, and he is worthy of Ran Ming's entrustment.In terms of ability, Wang Meng's ability is recognized.He is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. When he was the prime minister of Jiaodong Kingdom, he managed Jiaodong Kingdom, the richest county in the world, and led troops to fight, even fighting until Murong Jun lost his temper.

This is actually not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xie An knows Ran Ming's true thoughts very well.In fact, Ran Ming most wanted to promote Wang Meng to the position of Prime Minister, but it was a pity.Wang Meng was still unable to convince the public because of insufficient qualifications and low prestige.Besides, Ran Ming intends to make the cabinet prime minister's promotion system a regular practice.That is, if you are not an official in Bianzhou, you are not allowed to join the cabinet.Xie An's recommendation of Wang Meng is to let Wang Meng complete his resume as an official in Bianzhou.

Hearing Xie An's words, the cabinet ministers all took a deep breath. Wang Meng is Ran Ming's confidant and veteran veteran. As the two largest states in the Wei Kingdom, Ran Ming is absolutely relieved to hand over to Wang Meng, and will not worry that the two states will meet. There are repetitions.And Wang Meng's ability is recognized.The most important point is that Wang Meng is the emperor's teacher, and he has a relationship with Ran Ming as a teacher and brother. The emperor's teacher, those who want to criticize, must weigh their own weight. You can't say that the emperor's teacher has a problem with his personal morality Bar?

After three consecutive days of closed-door cabinet meetings, recommended by the cabinet and approved by Ran Ming, Wei Guoxin appointed Anxi Governor as the former minister of the Ministry of Railways Wang Meng Wang Jinglue.The governor of Tingzhou was Han Bo, the servant of the household department, the prefect of Gaochang County in Tingzhou was Xie Zhong, the prefect of Yanqi County was Zhang Xuan, the prefect of Khotan was Wang Guobao, and the prefect of Hami County was Yuan Yuezhi.As for the governor of Chuzhou, it was Wang Tanzhi.

Ran Ming reported the news of the appointment of the governors of Tingzhou and Chuzhou and the prefects of the counties to the whole country. The mind of the newly promoted Jinshi began to become active.

What kind of person Wang Meng is, no one in Wei State does not know.If it was said that Ran Ming sent Wang Meng to the frontier, no one would believe it, unless Wang Meng conspired against him.However, Ran Ming ordered Wang Meng to be the guardian of Anxi.

Du Huguang may not understand the literal meaning. If the Anxi Army is called the Western Theater of Wei, General Liu Ke is the commander of the Western Theater, and Wang Meng is the political commissar of the Western Theater of Wei and the Northwest Commander. bureau secretary.As for Xie Zhong, this is the grandson of Xie An's second brother Xie Ju. Although he and Xie An are called grandparents, in fact they love each other like father and son. The direct descendants of the clan.As for Han Bo Han Kangbo, he was also a prominent figure among the southern gentry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his uncle was Yin Hao, a minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.When he was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.This is also a great talent well-known in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for Zhang Xuan, he is an outstanding hero of the Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wang Tanzhi is also the pride of the Wang family. Among the prefects of the nineteen counties in Tingzhou, none of them is an unknown person.With so many romantic figures flocking to Tingzhou, it is absolutely impossible to say that all of them will be assigned to Tingzhou.

It seems that the imperial court is planning to focus on the management of Tingchu and Chuzhou.

These newly promoted Jinshi did not want to go to Tingzhou or Chuzhou, of course it was not because they were afraid of hardship, but in terms of bitter cold places, in fact, Youyan or Indochina Peninsula were not much better.The point is that although these places are bitterly cold, there is still some political order left by the Chinese civilization. As long as you get there, everything is ready, and you only need the east wind. As long as you work hard, you can make achievements, get rewards and promotions.But these two prefectures don't have the background of Chinese civilization at all. Not to mention Tingzhou, which is farther away, even Liangzhou has a very strong Hu Feng, who will kill people with knives if they don't agree with each other.

The newly-promoted Jinshi of Wei State are not afraid at this time, they know that the court of Wei State has no posture of letting the two states go, but is preparing to focus on management, so that they can dispel their worries.

In the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Wei, Wang Meng, who was promoted to the guardian of Anxi, entered the palace to thank him.This procedure is actually like organizing a conversation before the future generations take office, just going through the procedure.

When Wang Meng saw Ran Ming, he saw that Ran Ming was playing with a [-]-style rifle in the palace.Wang Meng chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that you are very busy? In order to speed up the construction of the railway, I am so busy that I can't sleep for two hours every day. Is Anxi's matter settled?"

"No, how could it be so fast?" Ran Ming said with a faint smile: "However, for some things, you have to wait until you reach a certain stage. In the past month, I have basically been waiting. Our power is not the strongest yet. Big. But it has reached the point where as long as we don't do anything wrong, others can't do anything to us. So, we don't need to be in a hurry."

"Although Liu Ke is daring and good at using surprise soldiers, he is not a person who does not know the importance. It seems that there is no enemy around Anxi who can make him suffer!" Wang Meng also laughed: "It seems that Liu Ke has been living a good life recently! "

"This is just a superficial phenomenon!" Ran Ming said: "The distance is too far, and it is inconvenient to transmit news, but the recent news is not all good news, there are some heart-warming things. Especially the Persian Sassanid Empire, dare to occupy my land It's cheap, sir, when he arrives in Anxi in the future, he must teach them a lesson!"

When Wang Meng heard that Ran Ming wanted him to teach the Sassanid Empire a lesson, he was stunned.Although Wang Meng no longer commanded the military operations of the Wei State in recent years, but became Minister of the Ministry of Railways of the Wei State, he still knew Ran Ming's strategic deployment very well.In fact, Ran Ming currently has no strategic plan to annex the Sasanian Empire.

Although it is said that there is no one in the territory, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there must be a sufficient population.Without population, everything is empty talk.The development of infrastructure construction, economic development, education development and population breeding are the focus of Wei's domestic development.

Seeing Wang Meng's hesitant expression, Ran Ming said: "I will give an order to the General Staff that all soldiers in each army who are over 40 years old and whose rank is lower than a lieutenant will be converted into government soldiers. At the same time, all colonels over 55 years old will be resigned." Active duty, converted to Fubing. I will set up 89 Fus in 89 counties of 89 counties in Tingzhou within one year. A total of [-] households of soldiers and family members of these [-] Fus are stationed in Tingzhou. One hundred of the [-] counties of Chuzhou In Lingyi County, one hundred and one thousand households were set up as government soldiers."

Hearing this, Wang Meng felt the pressure and heaved a sigh of relief.In Tingzhou, where Han people accounted for less than 20% of the total population, the Han system was restored, and in Chuzhou, where Han people accounted for 2000% of the total population, it was very difficult to integrate the various tribes with Chinese culture. chance of success.However, Ran Ming moved nearly 100 government soldiers to Anxi in one go, with a population of nearly one million, which required a lot of courage.You must know that the Han people in Wei State are still less than [-] million people, and moving [-] million people to Anxi is almost the limit of Wei State's ability to mobilize.Of course, if Ran Ming were to immigrate to Anxi, let alone a million people, it would be very difficult for a hundred thousand people to go out.However, Ran Ming's banner is to defend the frontier and consolidate the frontier. There is almost no resistance to this great political call.
