"But Your Majesty, what should we do if Hebei's population is insufficient? This problem is already imminent!" Tian Feng sighed.

From Cao Cao to Liu Bei and then to Yuan Shao, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp. The population under his command is almost a disaster, especially the young and strong, there is simply no one left out of ten.

After marching all the way north, from the Central Plains to Hebei, there were ten houses and nine empty houses. The population was extremely scarce. Moreover, three people had to take a large part of them away to move west. The remaining population was really too small.

The huge population of the three states in Hebei Province is less than three million. You must know that Jinling alone has a population of more than one million, and Yangzhou as a whole has nearly six million people, twice the number of the three states in Hebei combined.

.How does Tian Feng manage this?

Jizhou, which was once the richest in the world, now has a population less than that of Jinling City after being plundered by Yuan Shao. With so much fertile farmland and treasured land, we can't just let it all go to waste. The population must be replenished.

"There is no way around the lack of population. The population left for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be reduced, so we can only start from the south and move some people over." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth.

"From Liangzhou to Yuzhou, then to Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, people have migrated from the south many times. The people in the south are very resistant to this, and the southern states are deeply developed and have a great demand for population. If we move again,

It’s a bit difficult. After all, places like Hebei can’t compare with the prosperity of Jiangnan. Infrastructure, education and medical care are all far behind, and no one wants to go.” Tian Feng shook his head slightly, expressing his difficulty.

Yuan Shu was speechless for a while after hearing this. It seems that it is not a good thing to let the people live too well. This is indeed the case. After taking root in big cities and small counties, how many people are willing to go back to backward rural areas?

The current plan to relocate the population is similar to the development of the western region and to allow college students to teach in the northwest. If we do not adopt hard measures, it will be difficult to achieve the goal.

"That's it." Yuan Shu lowered his head and muttered: "In this way, you first screen the people of the four southern states and select the people who are suitable to move to Hebei. For example, the original ancestral home is Hebei, or the people who originally lived here are in the local area.

Those who have no jobs and are mainly engaged in farming. Count them and do a good job in ideological education first. Tell them that Hebei will be as prosperous as the south in the future, and the corresponding infrastructure and medical and educational conditions will quickly catch up to eliminate their resistance.

Get their support. If it doesn't work and there aren't enough people, then we can force the apportionment."

"In addition, preferential treatment will be given to people who move to Hebei. This includes tax exemptions, free housing allocation, high-paying jobs, honorary awards, etc. If they perform well, they can even become officials." Yuan Shu came up with his trump card.

Why so many college students are willing to go to the Northwest? In addition to their own sense of responsibility and kindness, it is more due to the generous treatment and subsequent preferential treatment for postgraduate entrance examinations, employment or civil servants. Spiritual encouragement and infection are important, but the material security foundation must also follow.

Go up. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

"In addition, build a top academy in Hebei and invite a few contemporary scholars to take charge. Build a top military academy and invite Huangfu Song to serve as a teacher to train generals. Medical care and road infrastructure should also be in line with those in Jiangdong."

Tian Feng nodded when he heard this and said: "My lord is wise. In this way, the difficulty of this population migration should be reduced a lot."

"Concerning the construction in Hebei, we still follow the original Yangzhou model of providing relief through work. However, there are some things that need to be paid attention to. First, the sedimentation on both sides of the Yellow River will only get worse if not treated. Therefore, it is necessary to

People must be sent to plant more trees on both sides of the Yellow River, and reorganize the river course, and set up more reservoirs and flood control facilities along the banks. Secondly, the world is already in hand, and many major projects should begin."

"Calculate the water systems of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty and mark the details. The construction of water networks, canals, reservoirs and other systems must be gradually carried out. This will greatly avoid drought and flood disasters and facilitate water transportation. Some water systems not far apart can be dug manually.

The river connects them."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu suddenly thought of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal opened by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He shook his head secretly and threw this idea behind his mind. Now the great Chu is in ruins, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. It is not enough to support such a plan for the time being.

Huge project.

"Secondly, road construction in various places must be improved. Especially the roads between major cities, states and counties must be laid in strict accordance with the highest standards originally formulated to ensure that our Dachu army can reach every state in the fastest time.

County. In some places with closed and dangerous terrain, roads must be opened even if mountains and rocks are cut, and no hidden dangers must be left. It is necessary to ensure smooth roads throughout the world to avoid the emergence of separatist regimes and to develop the economy. Bridges across rivers and rivers need to be built to benefit

The road between Zhouzhou and Liangzhou needs to be expanded and leveled."

"Thirdly, among the barbarians in the north, only the Southern Xiongnu are still lingering. But with Bo Fu and Zilong here, it is expected that they will be captured in a short time. The Hu people in the north are targeting the Qiang, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu.

To solve the problem, a perfect system must be formulated. It is necessary not only to restrain these barbarian tribes to prevent them from becoming powerful, but also to send a large number of Confucian scholars to educate and integrate them into our Han people. The corresponding cultural integration must be completed as soon as possible, and their culture must be

The system and mythological beliefs are integrated into our Han culture, but our Han culture must be the main body, and everyone is the descendant of Yan and Huang as the core." Yuan Shu said solemnly.

The Hu people in the northern grasslands have always been the biggest problem that troubled the Han people and could not be solved for thousands of years. Yuan Shu naturally attached great importance to this.

"After the situation stabilizes, the Hu tribes can be dispersed according to the situation of each tribe, divided into many small and medium-sized tribes, their activity areas are defined, mutual attacks are prohibited, and the number of tribes is also limited. Of course, this does not apply for the time being.

It needs to be implemented and will be discussed in the future. Because we are in urgent need of manpower now. If there is an overpopulation, select some of them to go south and integrate into our Han society to build bridges and pave the way for farmers or workers."

"Your Majesty, this plan is very clever!" Tian Feng's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a desperate plan. As long as the Hu people cannot annex each other and grow stronger, there is nothing to worry about. Population restrictions can ensure that they will not lack food due to overpopulation.

If they don't go down, they will be forced to go south to plunder. We can also mediate in the middle, control the situation on the grassland, and ensure the peace and tranquility of the grassland. Even if there is a snowstorm, at most it will be enough to requisition some grain and grass. This can basically completely solve the problem in the north."

Yuan Shu nodded. His method was actually based on the practices of the Qing Dynasty, and it was the nomads themselves who knew best how to deal with this problem.

"Hu people admire Han culture, so we let them learn from it. Hu people envy Han people's life and like Han people's fine wine and food, so we give them opportunities. Those who perform well will be allowed to move south, and we will give them fair treatment so that they can also

There is a path for promotion. As long as you are capable, you can even serve as an official in my country. Don't discriminate, don't look down on, sincerely accept, and quietly melt their culture. Make them speak Chinese, read Chinese books, write Chinese characters, and wait.

When the next generation grows up, there will be no more barbarians in this world."
