Lu Youan explained: "Some are women, the wives and daughters of the nobles. They were originally sent to various tribes, but were rescued by the Jin army and returned to their homes. The other part are common people. They
They moved in without authorization and wanted to occupy the houses of these nobles."
Zhang Qiu'an immediately made a decision, "All those who have moved in without permission must be cleared out. As for the wives and daughters of the nobles, a small part can be given to them and separated into a separate courtyard for them to live in. The rest of the house will be owned by the officials."
"Understand that you are humble, do you want to allocate the house to the soldiers?"
Zhang Qiu'an pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is best for soldiers to live in the countryside. It will take time to allocate land. It is not convenient for these houses to be slightly renovated for their wives to stay temporarily. Living in a big tent all the time."
"It's not difficult to do. If we allocate the humble jobs, we should be able to accommodate 20,000 families."
Lu Youan bowed and hurried away.
At this time, a soldier said at the door: "Prime Minister, there are a group of businessmen from the Tang Dynasty asking to see you!"
Zhang Qiu'an was a little surprised that there were merchants from Tang Dynasty here. He was a little interested and asked the merchants to be brought to the lobby.
There were about twenty merchants in this group of people who asked to see Zhang Qiu'an. They were the merchants who escaped from Xiongjin City with the two princesses and were taken to Danluo Island by Jin warships. These merchants were very good at catching
To seize business opportunities, they first looked for business opportunities in Jinhaidu. After hearing that the Jin army had recaptured Jinzhou City and completely wiped out the Eastern Hu army, they immediately went north together to look for greater business opportunities in Jinzhou City.
Zhang Qiu'an asked everyone to sit down in the lobby and said with a smile: "It feels very cordial to see businessmen from the Tang Dynasty in Silla!"
The leader of the businessmen said: "We have been doing business in Silla for many years, and we have always been subject to various restrictions. We are not allowed to do this, and we are not allowed to do that. Now that our own army has occupied Silla, we have finally waited until we can feel proud and proud.
one day."
Zhang Qiu'an smiled slightly and said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
It was quiet in the lobby. After a moment, the leading merchant said cautiously: "We have always hoped that Silla can open more businesses to us, instead of being limited to seaport trade. If the Prime Minister allows us to buy stores in various states, then we can open up more businesses to us in Silla."
Spread the branches and leaves to make things bigger."
Zhang Qiu'an pondered for a while and said: "In principle, I will not restrict you from doing business. If you want to buy a store, I welcome it, but I want to remind you of two points. First, Silla will implement the same laws as the Central Plains.
, things that are prohibited from trading in the Central Plains are also prohibited here. If you violate the prohibition, you will also be severely punished; secondly, three rough shops soon spread in Silla, and now Silla is dominated by the lower class people.
Have you considered who will buy your goods?”
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. We will strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. We will not touch salt, sugar, pig iron, weapons, etc. As for the three coarse shops, we are also aware of them. We will not compete with the three coarse shops for business. Although
The people of Silla are a little poorer now, but we place our hope in the future, and we all have some savings, so there will be no problem in staying in Silla for a few years."
Zhang Qiu'an nodded and said with a smile: "Since you are so confident, I will naturally give my full support. At present, most of the shops are in the hands of the government. If you are interested, then go and discuss with the Finance Department officials in detail about all the land.
Fixed properties such as shops, houses, docks, warehouses, and mines are all managed by them."
The situation in Silla is quite special. According to the opinions of King Guo Song of Jin, Zhang Qiuan divided the household department into four, namely the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Finance Department, the Warehouse Department and the Du Branch Office. The Civil Affairs Bureau was responsible for managing the people of Silla, and the Du Branch Office was responsible for the management of the people of Silla.
Formulate financial revenue and expenditure plans. The Finance Department is responsible for managing various types of real estate, mines, forest docks, etc., and the Warehouse Department is responsible for the storage, allocation, and transportation of money, grain, and materials.
But this is only temporary. After getting on the right track in the future, the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Financial Affairs Bureau will be merged into the Household Office, the Warehouse Office will be changed to the Transfer Office, and the Du Branch Office will always exist. Even in the Chang'an court, the Du Branch Office has ceased to exist.
The Ministry of Hubu was independent, and Lu Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, also served as the Duzhi envoy.
The merchants said goodbye and left. They visited various places in Jinzhou City to find their favorite shop, and then went to bargain with the Finance Department to buy it.
Jinzhou City immediately began a large-scale house cleaning operation. Lu Youan was personally in charge of the command. Two thousand soldiers cooperated with the Finance Department officials to clean up. There were hundreds of mansions in Jinzhou City, and they basically belonged to the high-ranking class. The new
After the Luo nobles were massacred, these mansions that Zhu Ye originally planned to distribute to his subordinates were now returned to the government.
However, some of the mansions still housed the wives and daughters of nobles. After they were rescued from the Jin army, they returned to their homes. After all, Zhang Qiu'an was a civil servant. He did not embarrass these poor women, but separated an area for them from the mansion.
They were given a single-family house with two acres of land, and some private property and land were given to them as their future livelihood.
Zhang Qiu'an came to a large house. Soldiers were busy laying bricks to separate a single courtyard in the east. Fan Yunnan, a soldier from the Finance Department, quickly stepped forward to see him. Zhang Qiu'an asked, "Can every big house be separated into a courtyard?"
Fan Yunnan smiled and said: "The houses of the Silla people are very unique, with many courtyards. A large house is composed of more than a dozen small courtyards. It is also because the children live with their parents. We only need to connect each courtyard to the inner house.
The door is blocked, and a new door is broken through the wall to form a separate courtyard, which is easy to transform."
"How many private courtyards can be created in total?"
"Baizhi's preliminary estimate is that including large and small houses, more than 6,000 residential units can be separated, with an average of about two acres per yard."
Zhang Qiu'an nodded, "Then the land close to the city must be matched with the residences in the city. What I mean is that for the soldiers who live in the city, their land must be close to the city."
"I understand, I understand. If it is far away from the city, should it be treated as a village?"
"But does Jinzhou City have so much official land? Six thousand people need 18,000 hectares of land."
Fan Yunnan smiled bitterly and said: "The officially controlled land is only about 20,000 hectares, which can only accommodate 6,000 people."
"Then it's settled. Six thousand people will be placed in Jincheng Prefecture, and the remaining 14,000 people will be placed in Jinhaidu and Xiongjin City. I will discuss with General Yang. In addition, there will be 30,000 soldiers in Xinjiang one after another in the future.
The Luo Cheng family is mainly located on both sides of the Han River, where there is endless fertile land."
"I understand, I will start making arrangements today!"
At this time, the soldiers brought in the mother and daughter, who were the owners of the house in front of them. They knelt down in front of Zhang Qiu'an and cried: "Please give our mother and daughter a way out!"
Zhang Qiu'an suddenly said with some displeasure: "We didn't drive you out of the house, but we left you with at least two acres of yard. Are you still not satisfied? You must let the Donghu people take you away and give you a rough meal. You
Only then can you be grateful to the Donghu people?"
"No! No! No! The Jin army rescued us from the fire bed. We are extremely grateful. We are equally grateful to have a place to live. But now there is still porridge to eat from the relief. If there is no relief in the future, what will we, mother and daughter, rely on?
Survive?"
Seeing that his two daughters were about seventeen or eighteen years old, Zhang Qiu'an asked, "Have your daughters ever married?"
"They were all newly married, and soon after they were married, they encountered disaster. Their husbands and sons-in-law were killed by Donghu people, and their father and brother also died. We, mother and daughter, were really helpless."
Speaking of sadness, the three women hugged each other and cried together.
After they calmed down a little, Zhang Qiu'an said: "Go back and register your daughter with the Civil Affairs Bureau! Find two soldiers as husbands for them, and they will have children to rely on in the future."
Li Yunnan next to him smiled and said: "How about I be a matchmaker! I have two officials who are not yet married. They are both well-educated and sensible scholars. These two women are good. I think they are a good match."
People in the Tang Dynasty took the concept of chastity very lightly. It was very common for widows to remarry or to divorce and remarry. In fact, it was the same in the Northern Song Dynasty. For example, the aristocratic official Zhao Shicheng also married Lu You's ex-wife Tang Wan as his head wife. The entire social atmosphere was very tolerant, not to mention the two in front of him.
A woman who has just married and has not yet given birth to a child is more likely to remarry.
The mother of the two women was overjoyed and quickly said to Li Yunnan: "Of course my two daughters are willing. They have not been violated by the Donghu people. I would like to ask you to be a matchmaker and find a good home for my two daughters."
The biggest trouble in marrying a Silla woman is the language problem, which takes a long time to slowly integrate. However, aristocratic women have no language barrier. They speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and they are good matches for young unmarried officials who are far away from their hometown.
More importantly, the children of these officials will be cultivated to be the pillars of Silla when they grow up, and their descendants will surely become an important promoter of Silla's complete integration into the Central Plains.
In addition, many young aristocratic women were prepared to be sent back to the tribes to be presented to the elders of each tribe, so they survived and were not raped by the Donghu soldiers.
Zhang Qiu'an smiled and said: "I remember that there are about four hundred unmarried scholars traveling eastward. Let's look for them among the noble women! If there are suitable ones, let them form a good match. Scholars can also
Feel free to stay in Silla for a long time."
Li Yunnan smiled happily and said: "I will be responsible for arranging this matter. I will first register the number of unmarried women and let them meet. Then we can make a decision and then plan a simple wedding."
