    ,

    ?Except for Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Liaoning, all the other provinces have started large-scale land clearing operations due to the vast land and sparse population.

    If a dynasty reaches the middle stage, Qingtian will become as difficult as ever.

    However, in the early days of the dynasty, it was actually relatively easy to check the fields and clear the population.  As long as the relevant policies are reasonable, the grassroots will be willing to cooperate, and officials and gentry will not dare to challenge the authority of the emperor.

    From Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the Ming Dynasty to the tenth year of Yongle, the fields and population of the Ming Dynasty were checked every ten years (population statistics are available every year, but a large-scale inventory is checked every ten years).

    According to the statistics of "Ming Shilu", it can be seen that the population of Ming Dynasty has increased year by year, reaching 66 million and 65 million in the first year of Yongle and the tenth year of Yongle respectively.  After that, it went down all the way, always hovering around 50 million people. Zhu Di estimated that he was busy with the northern expedition to the grasslands, and his control over the local area declined significantly. Every time the population was checked, the officials were fooling.

    Until the Chenghua period, Zhu Jianshen, the faint king who favored the concubine Wan Gui, ascended the throne. Facing the mess of millions of refugees, the population of the Ming Dynasty skyrocketed to 60 million.  By the fifteenth year of Chenghua, the population of Ming Dynasty had climbed to a peak of 71 million.

    Then, a generation of Mingjun, the lord of ZTE, and Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and the population instantly plummeted to 50 million.

    It is also very interesting to compare with the number of acres.

    In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the country's cultivated land was more than 370 million mu.  In the 25th year of Hongwu, the inventory of farmland was completed, and the country's cultivated land soared to 880 million mu¡ªthis was not the beginning, but the peak of the entire Ming Dynasty.

    In the period of Emperor Hongzhi, the amount of cultivated land in the country was directly halved compared with that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

    As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang really did whatever he wanted.  Let¡¯s talk about checking the number of acres of land and making yellow books. In one year, the amount of cultivated land in the country has doubled, from 370 million mu to 880 million mu.

    Zhao Han was also the founding emperor, and he also wanted to do whatever he wanted.

    After an imperial decree went down, officials all over the country got busy.  The province sent commissioners to the government to supervise, and the government sent commissioners to the prefectures and counties to supervise.  Often the county yamen and household departments are short-staffed, and officials have to be seconded from other departments, and village and town cadres and peasant associations are also functioning.

    A large number of cases of violence or covert occupation of civilian land were exposed during the process of clearing land.

    ?With the support of the emperor, if local officials dare to conceal it, there will always be farmers who go to report anonymously.  Low-level peasants, every household has children who read books. Many anonymous report letters are written by elementary school students.

    More and more officials were sacked, and more and more powerful gentry were arrested, and then they were waiting to be collectively moved to the Heilongjiang capital.

    The Heilongjiang capital is too remote, and normal immigrants are unwilling to go there. Isn't there enough immigrants now?

    Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, summarized the situation in the two provinces around the capital, and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, most of the land invasion cases in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces took advantage of immigration. The imperial court organizes immigration every year. The original land  Redistribution. Immigrants can designate an acre of land and donate it to relatives who stay in their original place. The rest of the land will be distributed by the government to the newly grown people nearby. This kind of distribution is done by local officials and gentry tyrants! Occupy people's land  Most of them are not low-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, but small officials in the county government and prominent families in the countryside."

    "What do you want to say?" Zhao Han asked.

    Guo Shunyu said: "The four provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Liaoning have continuously immigrated nearly one million people. The imperial court's immigration plan can no longer be implemented, and it is better to wait for these provinces to reproduce naturally. The more immigrants to the north, the more land in the south.  The more chaotic, and the court has spent countless money and food. Since the recovery of the north, the court has not fought much, but there is not much money and food left in the treasury, all of which are thrown into the immigrants. The transportation along the way, the resettlement of the refugees, the gift  Cattle, seeds, clothes, subsidies money is needed everywhere, food is needed everywhere.¡±

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The treasury is now the head of the Ministry of Finance, and it has nothing to do with your household department. What are you worried about when the treasury is empty?"

    Guo Shunyu cried and said: "But the immigration is managed by the household department. From the central household department to the county government household department, the officials are all exhausted. One person is used as several people. The money and food needed for immigration need to be contacted with each government office.  From application, review to approval, the whole day is extremely busy. Immigrants from their original places to new ones are all under the supervision of the household registration department. If there is a slight mistake, they will be suspended at every turn. There are finance and bank officials watching over them, and from time to time  To cope with the review of money and food, we must also cooperate with the supervision of the Inspectorate.¡±

    This is to complain, the officials in charge of immigration are really tired.  Moreover, immigrants¡¯ money and food are supervised layer by layer, so there will be no problems if they are greedy for small things, but they will be easily exposed if they are a little bit greedy.

    Zhao Han said: "MoveThe north is dying, so grain has to be transported from the south to clear the grasslands.  It is easy to fight, but it has to immigrate and garrison on the grassland, the supply line will be dragged longer, and more food and grass will be consumed. At most, Jining (Ulanchabu) can be fought.  After His Majesty immigrated to enrich the north, food and grass will be abundant, and the supply line will be shortened. Not only can you reach Jining, but you can also mobilize a large army to fight in Mobei.  "

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "What is Mobei like? Has uncle been there?"

    Fei Ruhe explained: "I've never been to Mobei, but I worked in the caravan and found out a lot of news about Mobei. After crossing the Yin Mountain, the Gobi Desert is everywhere in the north. Without a guide, you will get lost in the desert.  After crossing the Gobi Desert, you will find the grasslands of Mobei Mongolia. If you want to fight Mobei, you must have a lot of rations, such a long journey, and there are deserts everywhere, and if you don¡¯t pay attention, you will starve to death without food."

    "Will Uncle seal the wolf from now on?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked excitedly.

    "Sealing Langjuxu, I will definitely do it. This is the agreement with His Majesty at the beginning," Fei Ruhe became depressed as he spoke, "Unfortunately, I don't know where Langjuxu Mountain is.  The Mongols have never heard of Langjuxu."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was speechless for a moment. He wanted to seal the general who lived in the wolf, but he didn't know the specific address.

    Fei Ruhe said again: "I have already found out that Yanran Mountain in Leshi Yanran is on the Mongolian territory of Khalkha! So, regardless of Langjuxu, Leshi Yanran is also good.?
