After seeing that the Huns were treated so favorably, hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people from Hezhou and Xinzhou came to seek refuge. They all wanted to live a stable life like the Huns. Xiliang also has a large number of Qiang people.
The surrender made the Qiang leader outside the Great Wall very angry. He personally led his troops to wander outside the Great Wall. When they met the Qiang people who wanted to run into the territory of the Han Dynasty, they directly killed and plundered them.
This angered Zheng Xuan, the governor of Liangzhou. Zheng Xuan followed the advice of the chief historian Jia Xu and reported to the court, worshiping the Qiang Qili as the Qiang captain, and divided the migrating Qiang into old and weak.
The women and children were given land to cultivate and build villages, while the young and strong were assigned to the Qilitai account, led by Qilitai, and went out to fight against the Qiang leaders outside the Great Wall.
These Qiang people hated these leaders to the core. Under the leadership of Qieritue, they defeated many Qiang tribes and brought all the Qiang people back to Liangzhou. This made the leaders of the Qiang tribes a little bit nervous.
They were frightened and anxious. In the past, when Duan Xi defeated them and beheaded their king, they were not as frightened as they are now, because no matter how many times Duan Xi defeated them, they could come back.
But this time there was something different. The inclusive policy of the Han Dynasty caused a large number of Qiang people to flee into the territory of the Han Dynasty and suddenly became Han people. The so-called Han people at this time did not only refer to a certain race. All the people of the Han Dynasty were considered by the Han people.
Those recorded in the household registers are all Han Chinese. This directly undermines the roots of the Qiang people. There are fewer and fewer Qiang people, and they have become their enemies, fighting against them outside the Great Wall.
The Qiang people had no choice, so most of their leaders chose to migrate and distance themselves from the Han people, lest the tribal people would become confused and try to do what the Han people wanted to do. Moreover, they also set up many checkpoints at the boundary between the two sides to stop them.
The large-scale flight of the Qiang people obviously cannot stop the enthusiasm of the Qiang people. In the past ten years, the world has gradually become colder, making life extremely difficult for these people living on the grasslands.
At a time like this, a powerful country like the Han Dynasty could allow them to survive. I heard that the Han court would also provide disaster relief and help the victims, and would not watch the people starve to death, nor abandon the old and the weak. Under such circumstances,
How could the leaders stop them?
It has to be said that although Zheng Xuan was weaker in handling political affairs, his personal charm was too strong. Qiang, Han, Huns, etc. all admired and respected him. He was able to rectify the chaotic Liangzhou and make Liangzhou
He gradually regained his composure, and there was Jia Xu beside him. In areas where Zheng Xuan was not good at, Jia Xu secretly dealt with a lot of destruction and chaos for him.
These two people, working openly and secretly, actually made the situation in Liangzhou gradually improve.
Such a large-scale migration, coupled with the fact that the country was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment in the nine years after Liu Hong ascended the throne, the Han population finally ushered in its first explosive growth. The registered registered population exceeded 70 million, and the number of households
The largest place is naturally Sili, with a population of more than six million. Luoyang is gradually becoming congested. Cao Song has already petitioned to expand Luoyang.
As the capital of the Han Dynasty, the population of a county in Luoyang is close to 700,000. Some wealthy counties in the Han Dynasty only have a population of 700,000 or 800,000. This county exceeds many of the 10 or so counties.
Great county! People come and go, and countless merchants settle here, not only because of its prosperity, but also because Luoyang is the center of Chidao, the main road between north, south, and east and west!
After Liu Hong heard about the grand scene in Luoyang many times, he couldn't help but feel a little longing for it.
He suddenly looked at Xun You beside him and said, "I want to be with Luoyang incognito and see the grand scenery of Luoyang in private. I don't know what?"
Those who can't sit still have always gone out of the palace to play. Oh, no, it's the habit of going out of the palace to check on the people's sentiments. He thought for a moment and then said: "I want Zhang Jun to accompany me."
"Zhang He?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Hong nodded and immediately ordered Zhang He to enter the palace. Zhang He hurriedly entered the palace and was shocked when he heard the emperor's order. The people of Luoyang were busy with things. He originally wanted to object to the emperor leaving the palace, but now,
In the temple, except He Gong, no one could persuade the emperor. He could only obey the emperor's orders to do whatever he wanted. So he found seven or eight masters to guard the emperor's side with him.
He also arranged a large number of embroidered clothes envoys to lurk around them. If there was anything abnormal, hundreds of embroidered clothes envoys would come to kill him. He almost summoned all the embroidered clothes envoys in Luoyang openly and secretly.
Put down what you are doing and focus on protecting the emperor.
After making all kinds of preparations, the emperor put on a set of scholar's robes, rode an ox cart, and walked out of the palace. Driving on the street, he still attracted attention. After all, there were seven or eight burly men guarding him around.
Everyone guessed who the rich man was, so they didn't pay attention. After a while, Liu Hong got off the bullock cart and started wandering around Luoyang County.
It has to be said that Luoyang is countless times more prosperous than when he came to Beijing in the past. It is crowded with people and there are countless vendors selling goods along the street. From time to time, there are patrols from the county government to maintain public order. Among the vendors,
Not only the common people of the Han Dynasty, but also some frontier fortress merchants wearing strange clothes, the common people of the Han Dynasty were also not surprised. The ox carts were next to each other, and they could be lined up all the way from the main city gate to the west city!
Liu Hong was already happy when he saw this scene. He walked to the vendors along the street and looked at a lot of items. Most of these vendors were selling handmade products, such as shoes, wooden combs, and bronze mirrors.
And so on, Liu Hong asked with a smile: "I haven't been to Luoyang for many days, how come there are so many vendors?" The vendor was a little groveling to him. After all, Liu Hong could tell from his clothes that he was a member of the family.
He smiled and said: "You don't know, but since the Holy Emperor came to this world, there has been no shortage of food at home, and it is winter, and there is no farm work, so I make some small things to earn some money. The youngest son of the family will be able to go to school tomorrow, and I want to make some money for him."
Buy some pens and ink..." When he said this, there was a bit of pride on his face. Liu Hong also smiled and praised: "Enrolling in school is a good thing. You should definitely buy it. I wonder if I will be able to enter Taiyuan University in the future!"
"Haha, I'm borrowing your auspicious words, I'm borrowing your auspicious words, but you don't know that my little baby has been smart since he was a child. He has been talking for a year, and now he is four years old. His speech is no different from that of ordinary people. My hometown official school gave me a lot of money.
, let me bring my little one to the capital, saying that this is a place where I can become a famous teacher and become a high official in the future!"
"Oh?" Liu Hong was startled and asked with a smile: "Then this young man is really extraordinary. How about a name?"
"Take it, take it, and give it a single name with the character Jia!"
The two of them were chatting, and suddenly a large number of guards came over. When the merchant saw it, he suddenly became panicked, and his face was a little frightened. This made Liu Hong's face suddenly become angry. Could it be that under my feet?
, are there still officials who bully good people? Zhang He, who was standing by, noticed the emperor's face, and quickly stood behind the emperor, putting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"You old thief, how many times have I told you that you are not allowed to set up a stall and do business here!"
The watchman shouted and said angrily: "Take it with me quickly and come with me to the county government office!"
