There are actually not many household registrations in Nanjing, and most of them come from the surrounding counties that are included in Nanjing.
As far as Nanjing is concerned in a narrow sense, there are only about 15,000 households in Liangfu Guo County (Shangyuan and Jinling), which may be the one with the smallest population among the four capitals of Daxia.
This is the power of war.
Zhang Xiong, Sun Ru, Feng Hongduo, Tian Yan and others clashed here and changed hands several times.
After Yang Wu captured this place, Qian Liu did not let go and fought many times. When the Suzhou governor Yang Shihou defected to Qian Liu, the opponent sent troops from Huzhou and Suzhou. Shengzhou became a battlefield many times, and the people died. As they ran away, the place was devastated and people's livelihood was in decline.
Therefore, the people of Shengzhou are suffering.
But then again, during the war, where are the people who don’t suffer?
On his way to Nanjing, Shao Shude suddenly handled a number of official duties, most of which were transferred from Luoyang.
Among them, the most noteworthy ones were the movements of his sons.
Shao Dalang in the Yili Valley is still recuperating and consolidating his fundamentals, and the results are very significant.
This time he came again to ask for people and supplies.
Without the permission of the emperor, the prince cannot handle official affairs or interfere in political affairs. This is an iron rule. However, this time he is supervising the country, and his management is justified, and there is nothing to say.
Shao Shude carefully read the annotations written by the prime minister and the prince in charge of the memorial.
Dalang asked for 1,000 cattle, 30,000 farm tools, and various other materials. At the same time, he requested that the number of people from the Central Plains who migrate there every year be increased to more than 2,500 households, because the bearing capacity of the Yili River Valley has increased. And it has developed to a new stage.
The Prime Minister of Zhengshitang agreed, and so did the Prince.
Shao Shude was very happy when he saw it. This is how it should be between brothers.
Of course, with his old father watching over him, Erlang would not "step into the trap" on this kind of thing. It would not change the result, and it would also make people annoying, so it is unnecessary.
It's okay to talk about farming cattle. Sinong Temple is training calves in Yanqi Prefecture and Tingzhou, and can afford a thousand adult farming cattle.
Farm tools are a bit more troublesome.
Although many craftsmen went to the Western Regions and the iron smelting industry on Anxi Road developed rapidly, 30,000 pieces itself was still a lot and was not easy to raise.
Zhao Kuanglin, the governor of Anxi Province, petitioned to allocate the money in two years, and Shao Shude agreed.
At the end, Shao Shude also added a note, instructing Western Region trading companies to purchase more of Zhao's excess slaves, and they could pay with grain or other materials.
The war between Daxia and Persia is indeed over. However, border frictions continue, mainly concentrated on the northern front, namely the Balasagon and Rehai Turks.
The Bull Camel King and the Persians plundered each other and never stopped. In the end, the Rehai Turks and the Zhao State were also involved. There were not many troops and horses sent by each party. Basically, there were more than a thousand horses. At most, There are only two or three thousand riders.
Fighting is not like a war, but more similar to the game of "catching people and people" that the two sides played privately after the alliance between the towns in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo Changqing, that is, going deep into each other's interior to plunder the population and property.
In this matter, the male camel king suffered a loss, the Rehai Turks suffered a loss, and the Persians also suffered a loss. Zhao, who was at the rear, made a lot of money and accumulated a lot of slaves.
Slaves can be used for their own use, or they can be sold for money. In the case of Zhao State, selling them in exchange for various supplies is the most cost-effective, at least at this stage, this is indeed the case.
This comment written by Shao Shude is actually helping Dalang to accelerate the development of the Yili River Valley.
The second copy was sent by Shao Mingyi, King of Dian.
He gradually restructured the area and established three or four new counties, further expanding the territory directly under his jurisdiction.
Rokuro actually came here to ask for people, but he wanted more advanced people, mainly craftsmen, economics students and the like. He even wanted talents in mathematics, construction, and law who had failed the imperial examination, and he had a huge appetite.
The prime minister and the prince agreed and are formulating a plan to encourage such talents to go to Dian Kingdom - they can only encourage it, after all, it cannot be forced.
The Ministry of Personnel also selected more than 20 experienced officials to go south without serving as chief officials. The main purpose was to help the Dian Kingdom establish a more complete management system for a period of three years.
Rokuro mentioned another thing.
He controlled many tribes through military conquest, political marriage, division and wooing. Against this background, he planned to restore the Kunzhou-Jiaozhou post road system that had been in disrepair for a long time - most of the sections were within the territory of Dian Kingdom.
He found a way to complete it on his own in the Dian Kingdom. Now it is necessary for the court to repair the post roads in Yunnan Road and Lingxi Road to completely open them up.
There is nothing wrong with this, it is all what should be done. After Shao Shude read it, he directly approved it.
In the end, Liulang offered 30,000 catties of copper without making any demands.
Seeing this, Shao Shude sneered.
Rokuro, Rokuro, he just likes to play with these little tricks, which are not grand enough at all. Even if you don’t give me the copper, if you ask for it directly, what can I do? Can I still not give it to you?
The third memorial was sent by Qilang Shao Shenli from Ba Khan.
Persian nobles are actually quite realistic.
On the surface, Bukhara was tough and said it would not give up Bakhna, but the main army had already withdrawn, shrunk to the west of Juzhanti, and began to build cities and fortify them.
The remaining nobles were greatly disappointed when they saw it. As a last resort, some people came to Qilang one after another to express their loyalty.
In fact, there are not many real Persians among them. The vast majority are Sogdians and Turks. It is difficult to make them truly loyal to Persia.
The situation is stronger than the people. At this time, it is more important to protect one's own business.
Qilang figured out his intentions and ordered the ban on the Creator in Bahan. Therefore, the nobles who came over were also selective, and the remaining people were inevitably subjected to a general purge - naturally with the cooperation of the Forbidden Army and the Shule Town Army.
There is no doubt that there is still a small-scale rebellion in Bukhana. The rebellion is mainly caused by the nobles who believe in the Creator. They also secretly collude with Jihadists from all corners of the country, and it will not be quelled for a while.
In this case, I must have thought too much about construction. Let’s sort out the place first and then talk about it.
After Shao Shude read it, he ordered to recruit warriors from the Forbidden Army and various miscellaneous troops who were willing to settle in the Chu Kingdom. The imperial court would bear the transportation expenses along the way and could move their families there for free.
It should be said that Shao Shude was quite good to Qilang, and his support was even greater than that of Dalang.
Among the hundreds of thousands of warriors, if you recruit carefully, you can always find a group of people who are "not very smart" and are willing to move their families there. Even if there are only a thousand or two thousand people, it is still a huge amount for the Chu State at this time.
A huge fortune.
Finally, there are the ten fiefdoms of Seven Saints Prefecture, Mi'e Prefecture, Gongchen Prefecture, and Pengri Prefecture.
Generally speaking, it is relatively stable. After Abaoji escaped, it became even more stable. Even the Khitan people living there have completely given up their thoughts and have become obedient.
Shao Shude read it hastily, quickly marked "yes" on each copy, and then had people send it back to Luoyang immediately for implementation as soon as possible.
****
On April 13, Shao Shude checked into Nanjing Yang Palace.
There are more than a thousand palaces in the palace city, which is relatively small. Even in the capital, it is still small.
The main hall is Linhua Hall, which can be regarded as the place where Yang Gong held court meetings.
Shao Shude walked around inside and outside the palace and found that a considerable amount of open space had been reserved around it for future expansion.
Stretching further out, there is a wilderness. There are occasional villages dotted there, but the overall look is still relatively desolate.
Streets and alleys are also planned in the open space on the south side of the palace city.
Yes, the city of Nanjing now adopts a half-mile square and half-street system.
The streets and alleys are mainly located in commercial areas, where people also live.
The inner squares were used to build houses of various specifications, and a considerable part of them was in the hands of the imperial court, which was lent to senior officials who were transferred to Nanjing for free to live in, and was taken back after they resigned.
Sometimes they are also used as rewards for warriors who have made great achievements or civil servants who have worked hard for most of their lives.
Dignitaries also began to purchase land and build houses in Nanjing for their own residences.
This is also an old tradition.
If one day the saint became interested and decided to live in Nanjing for a few years, they would come with him to attend court and work. It would be very troublesome not to have a house.
"Have all the prisoners who built the palace been released?" Shao Shude asked.
"They have all been sent to Liaodong and will be pardoned as common people." Xiao Qu, the minister of Zhongshu, replied.
"How many people are left at the end?"
"More than thirty-eight thousand people."
Shao Shude nodded and said, "You did a good job."
Of the 100,000 leaders and prisoners, only 30,000 to 40,000 were left in Liaodong to settle down and become civilian households. The process was very tragic.
As for why they are not sent back to their hometown, the main reason is that their wives already have new husbands and their children call others daddy. It is not appropriate to send them back. They should go to Liaodong to live a good life and love life.
"The construction of the palace city should stop here, it is not suitable to expand." After Shao Shude completed a circle, he said: "Future emperors may be lucky to Chang'an or lucky to Peiping, and probably will not come to Jiangning Mansion. If it is well repaired, it is a waste.
"
Xiao Qun thought so.
Future emperors may come to Nanjing on a whim to take a walk and take a look, but it is unlikely that they will manage politics here for a long time. After all, this is not the Southern Dynasty, and the center of gravity of the country has always been in the north.
In addition, Xiao Yu did not want the Nanjing Palace to be as grand and grand as his original intention.
The Qi of the King of Jinling has faded since the Sui Dynasty when it was vigorously purged and suppressed, and there is no need to restore it.
Moreover, the imperial court's military strength in this area was relatively weak.
The largest military force in Jiangning Mansion is actually 5,000 state soldiers, which may not be enough to suppress the rebellion - if at all.
To put it bluntly, if someone starts an uprising in the south of the Yangtze River and conquers Nanjing in the future, wouldn't the palace you built become a wedding dress for others?
To put it bluntly, in Xiao Qu's mind, it is still the "northern standard", and he naturally does not trust the south. This has been the consistent attitude since the Sui Dynasty - you are responsible for delivering money and food, and do not interfere in other matters. The court has its own
Calculate.
"Calling the governors and elders of all the prefectures in Jiangdong Province to come and see you at the Hua Palace." Shao Shude said, "I'm not going anywhere these days. I'm just in the Yang Palace to listen to their opinions."
