Feng Yong and his party stopped at the camp in Nanzheng that had been transformed into a pasture. Unexpectedly, they met an unexpected person, Ma Di, the current prefect of Hanzhong.
"You are so powerful. If I don't come over and take a look, will you still be called the Grand Administrator of Hanzhong?"
Ma Di, who had a short beard, looked at the barbarians driving cattle and sheep into the cattle pen with a vague light in his eyes, "It seems that you have gained a lot from your return to Juxian this time?"
Whether I gain much or not is my own business. What does it have to do with you?
Feng Yong felt a little annoyed, thinking that I have already come to Hanzhong, and the old demon Zhuge wants you to come over and watch me. What's the point of watching me so closely?
Young people who start their own businesses should be encouraged and supported instead of thinking about benefits every day, because this will dampen the enthusiasm of young people.
"Oh, Governor Ma has misunderstood. These cattle and sheep seem to be many, but in fact they are not many. Excluding the share given to Hanzhongye, how many of us brothers can get if we divide it among them?"
As Feng Yong said this, he immediately pulled Huo Yi, who was standing next to him, with a confused look on his face. "Wouldn't it be possible to build this ranch with the help of Han MCC in the end?"
After hearing this, Ma Su's lips twitched and he thought to himself: What else could I say? Why don't you pull Han Zhongye out to block it? Do you think I'm going to covet you like cattle and sheep?
At the same time, I felt bored, thinking, if the Prime Minister hadn't asked me to take care of things, do you think I would be willing to come?
After all, looking for benefits from a beau every day, in the eyes of others, isn't this an obvious way of bullying others? It doesn't look good on my own face either.
"Don't make trouble," Ma Su glanced at Feng Yong angrily. Feeling the looks of everyone around him, he felt awkward in his heart, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
The most suitable place for the two of them to talk secretly was the sentry tower of the camp, but it was impossible for Ma Su to lose his dignity and climb to such a high place, so the second place was naturally a study in the original big yard.
"If you need anything, Governor Ma, please tell me."
When there were only two people in the study, Feng Yong spoke.
"You have used so many barbarians in your ranches and textile workshops. Have you never thought about the consequences if you fail to keep an eye on them?"
After Ma Su sat down, he pointed outside and asked.
"What could be the consequences?"
Feng Yonghun said nonchalantly, "If you just say that they are used as livestock to be used in death, then of course you have to worry. But someone like me who can give me two full meals a day, let alone a barbarian, is
How many Han people can live like this?"
The Han people are still in their lean years, but in these pastures and textile workshops, as long as you are obedient and work hard, you will still have enough to eat.
Although most people eat millet, sometimes if they can't complete the task, they can also eat millet mixed with bran to soothe their belly.
If you try it outside, which year has there been no starvation? Which year has no people starved to death? Which year has no person froze to death?
Although most of the Hu people resisted and resisted when they were first sent here, no matter how hard their necks were, they couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Han people's knives.
In addition, as time passed, I realized that I could actually eat without worrying about being cold.
Except for the headmen and the upper class people in the clan, for most sheep slaves and cow slaves, the quality of life has improved. Who is still willing to go through the trouble?
In addition, Feng Yong implemented the Baojia system and the continuous sitting system. Many people with evil intentions were overthrown by their own people before Feng Yong's specially set up escort team could take action.
For Feng Yong, who is determined to pursue a long-term career, sustainable development is the right path.
Of course, this is not without its disadvantages, that is, it consumes a lot of food. After all, the body of a coolie needs to replenish a lot of energy.
But Feng Yong said, "I have money. What should I be afraid of?"
The woolen cloth produced by the textile workshop was enough for him to squander.
These days, money is not just precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper. Silk is also considered currency.
The woolen cloth produced by Hanzhong Textile Workshop is a must-have clothing in winter, and it is the most cost-effective thing, which is full of hard currency.
Feng Yong had no plans to pay dividends until the ranch produced no output.
The fields cultivated in Hanzhong, even if they are abandoned and mature land that has been used to grow food, will take at least one year to be considered productive. The textile workshops and pastures have not been there for one year, so you want to pay dividends? It is not so unreasonable.
of.
Besides, these days, there are no professional accountants, so it is not Feng Yong who has the final say on how and when to divide? Who told you that you are not good at math?
knowledge is power!
But when Ma Di heard what Feng Tubiao said, his face twitched again.
livestock?
What you said is really... no taboo.
Although what you said is true, is it really okay for you to say it directly like this?
More than 3,000 surrendered prisoners were sent over from Nanzhong - more than 700 died after one spring plowing.
But the value of these surrendered prisoners to the imperial court was to allow Hanzhong to produce food as quickly as possible. How could there be any reason to consume too much food for them?
The imperial court does not have much food.
"Too many barbarians is always bad."
Ma Su could only say this, "What the Prime Minister means is that Hanzhong is an important place for the imperial court. If there are not enough Han people, too many barbarians cannot be allowed in."
"After all, when the Qiang and Di rebelled in the Later Han Dynasty, even Hanzhong was not spared, so we must be on guard against this."
Of course Feng Yong knew the importance Zhuge Lao Yao attached to Hanzhong.
Then he sighed and said, "I know this, but most of these Han people are in the hands of the big families in Shu. How can they be willing to let them go?"
Today, there are about 200,000 registered households in the Han Dynasty, or about 900,000 people.
But in fact, according to the estimates of later generations of scholars, the hidden population of aristocratic families in central Shu may be more than this number.
When the Shu Han Dynasty fell, the registered population plus those with military registration, official registration, missing registration, tenants, tenants and ethnic minorities who were not included in the statistics, later scholars estimated that there should be about 4 million.
This is a very simple calculation.
At the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the total registered population of the three countries was only over 7 million, and Shu accounted for about one-seventh.
But in the year when the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world, the number soared to more than 16 million, and in the third year, it suddenly increased to nearly 25 million...
What if more than nine million people were born a dozen years after the destruction of Shu? Two years after the destruction of Wu, another nine million people were suddenly born?
How can anyone give birth to a baby like this?
Therefore, based on one-seventh of 25 million, the number of Han people in Shu Han is at least 3 million. Adding in the ethnic minorities, 4 million is normal.
History novices are saying that because Boss Cao was not allowed to unify the world in the Battle of Chibi, the population dropped too much during the Three Kingdoms War, which allowed foreigners to take advantage of the loophole...
He is simply showing off his lower IQ.
When the world was unified, there were already close to 25 million people, not including the hidden population of the aristocratic families. Within a few decades, it would be enough for two generations. How many people would we have? Is it small?
When the Western Han Dynasty was first established, it had a population of 13 million. It had to face enemies as ferocious as the Xiongnu, and did not allow foreigners to enter the Central Plains.
When the Western Jin Dynasty reached the stage of Wuhu Chaos in China, at least 30 million people were brutally beaten and ravaged by a group of former servants who fought on their own.
When a woman goes out to follow the rebel army, she dares not cry when her husband dies...
