Chapter 710 Dirty Times (1)

"Your Majesty, the court lieutenant Zhao Yu and the internal historian Yan Yi would like to see you..."

Liu Che was having a headache about who should be sent to Huaihua to take charge of local security, when an eunuch from Huangmen played a sermon at the palace gate.

"Xuan!" Liu Che had to put aside the Huaihua matter first.

Since Uncle Tian gradually became old and decrepit, the Neishi Yamen has begun to embark on the road of partition and rule according to Liu Che's plan.

At present, internal history has actually been divided into three independent institutions.

Yan Yi resigned from his post as Shangshu Cheng two months ago and was transferred to Internal History Zhongcheng, responsible for local affairs and civil affairs in Chang'an and the Gyeonggi region centered on Chang'an.

At the same time, Liu Che appointed Dou An, the son of Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhang Wu, as Zuocheng of Internal History, responsible for the civil affairs of Guanzhong south of the Wei River. He also issued an edict to appoint Shen Tumi, the eldest son of the late Prime Minister Shen Tujia, as Youcheng of Internal History, responsible for the local civil affairs north of the Wei River.

.

Yan Yi's position as Shangshu Cheng was taken over by Zhou Yuan, who was transferred back to Chang'an from Jiangdu.

"Your Majesty, Wei Yu (Chen Ting Wei Yu) (Chen Ting Wei Yu)... respectfully greets Your Majesty..." After Zhao Yu and Yan Yi were brought in, they bowed respectfully.

"I beg your respects..." Liu Che stood up and asked, "Do you have anything important to do when you two ladies come to the palace today?"

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo..." Zhao Yu bowed and said: "I am waiting to enter the palace. I really have important matters. Please ask for your holy will..."

"Um?"

"Your Majesty, in the past ten days, all counties in Guanzhong have reported reports of large-scale population outflows..." Yan Yi said: "In Gyeonggi Province alone, in the past month, nearly a hundred people have left the Guanzhong to go north. I am waiting for you.

Worrying, the population in Guanzhong may be unstable..."

For the past sixty years, Guanzhong, the base camp of the old Liu family, has been a place that you can only enter but cannot leave.

There has always been internal migration, and there have never been signs of large-scale population migration like now.

Nei Shi was naturally frightened.

Theoretically speaking, the Han Dynasty under the household registration policy had the ability to completely fix the population in the place of household registration.

Especially in Guanzhong, as long as the four passes (Hangu, Wuguan, Xiaoguan and Sanguan) are locked up, not even a fly can fly out.

However, since Taizong, the Liu family has removed the restrictions on Guan and Tianjin. Today, except for Xiao Pass, it still maintains strict restrictions. For the other three passes, as long as you have a legal talisman, people are no longer prohibited from entering and exiting.

This is one of the fundamental reasons for the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Han Dynasty.

In the past, this wasn't a big deal.

The old Liu family's careful care of Guanzhong and countless preferential policies made it possible that only the Guandong people had been waiting eagerly, desperately trying to sneak into Guanzhong and become a common people living under the emperor's feet.

Otherwise, there are few signs of Chinese exodus.

Nowadays, the golden legend of Huaihua has triggered an unprecedented wave of emigration of Guanzhong people.

Faced with such a situation, the Neishi Yamen almost didn't know what to do.

I had no choice but to come to ask the emperor for instructions.

"Don't worry about it..." Liu Che said with a smile. "You don't need to ask me for instructions on such things in the future. As long as they don't break the law or commit crimes, the internal history will let them go!"

"This..." Yan Yi couldn't understand or was reluctant.

Tingwei Zhao Yu also said: "Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this..."

"Well? What's wrong?" Liu Che asked back: "The knights and vagrants are leaving. Logically speaking, Wei Ting should be happy..."

To be fair, that's true.

Legalists have always listed knights and Confucian scholars as the main culprits of social instability.

Han Feizi once said: A chivalrous person uses martial arts to violate the law, and a Confucian scholar uses literature to disturb the law.

At that time, Qin Shihuang felt that this was so correct.

So the Confucian scholar was hung up and beaten by the rangers.

Now, in the eyes of Legalists, this is still true.

However, they no longer have the power to dominate the world and defeat everyone during the Qin Dynasty.

But if possible, Legalists are absolutely willing to send all knights and Confucian scholars to concentration camps to pick up soap.

Therefore, Zhao Yu ran out and told Liu Che: This is inappropriate.

In Liu Che's opinion, the problem is huge.

"Wei Ting has the power to enforce the law in prisons, so he can just do his job well..." Liu Che said with a smile: "Wei Ting should not listen to the complaints of the noble ministers..."

When Zhao Yu heard this, a chill ran down his spine, and he quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man. I would like to be taught..."

He would not dare to deceive the king.

After all, that was the fate of the former Tingwei Zhang Ou.

Moreover, as a court official, Zhao Yu naturally knew that the emperor of the day was neither the late emperor nor Taizong. He was a supreme being who was difficult to be deceived.

Of course, this does not mean that I am better than the late Emperor Taizong.

But now, I have my own ears, eyes and embroidered clothes and guards.

Rumor has it that spies from the Xiuyi Guard have even been placed directly in the homes of ministers and nobles. These guys are even interested in what the surveillance targets ate that night and slept in the concubine's room.

The power of spy politics gradually appeared in the court.

Therefore, the imperial servant Yuan Ang became the first victim of spy politics.

Under the shadow of Xiuyiwei, few ministers now dared to deceive Liu Che.

Otherwise, if the emperor gets angry, who would dare to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor?

Liu Che glanced at Zhao Yu and Yan Yi.

Liu Che naturally knows about the undercurrents in Guanzhong these days.

The princes, ministers and powerful landlords tried their best to cover up the rumors about Huaihua, even risking their own reputations.

They do this just for one thing.

After all, the development of the feudal lands of the princes also requires a large amount of cheap manpower.

The powerful landowners also want to make a fortune in Huaihua, and they also need cheap manpower.

Under such circumstances, these guys naturally focused on the rangers, unemployed refugees and poor people in Guanzhong.

How can we let these living cash cows run away?

Didn't these guys pull off a loan scam not long ago?

I want to lend money to rangers and poor people, play word games and contract fraud, and buy these rangers and poor people very cheaply.

Liu Che watched this with cold eyes and did not intervene.

After all, there is essentially no difference whether the knights and poor people go there voluntarily, or whether they go there organized by nobles, nobles, landlords and powerful men.

Moreover, as an emperor, Liu Che would not go against some people as long as they were too ugly and caused a scandal.

However, if these guys want Liu Che to help them do such a thing, then Liu Che will be grateful.

If these guys can't fool the rangers and the poor, what's the use of Liu Che?

Die as soon as possible!

Of course, the feudal lords, ministers and powerful landlords may not think so.

They may have thought that the emperor would take care of them no matter what.

In this regard, Liu Che could only say: Haha...

Of course, as the emperor, Liu Che couldn't ignore the interests of these guys.

After all, to be fair, the emperor still relies on these guys to rule the country.

If you knock a stick, you have to give it a sweet date.

Therefore, Liu Che suggested in a very considerate way: "However, when you return, I will tell you all: I heard that slave labor is very cheap in the southwestern barbarians. You may wish to give it a try..."

Yan Yi and Zhao Yu raised their heads at the same time and looked at Liu Che stupidly. (To be continued.)
