Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Yuan Hongren said with a sullen expression: "Bei Ya's Forbidden Army camp left guard is under control."

Yuan Hongren was the elder brother of Yuan Hongshan. After Yuan Hongshan was killed by Chen Ying, the imperial court exempted Chen Ying from responsibility with the eight proposals of Yixun, Yixun, and Yiqin, and compensated Yuan's funeral expenses of [-] guan.

The point is that although the Yuan family has already fallen, no matter how it declines, it is not a family that can be dismissed with five hundred guan.

Liu Yushan pondered and said: "Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army will eventually be able to dispatch 1000 people."

Li Xiaochang frowned, turned to look at his eldest grandson An Ye and said, "An Ye, what about you?"

The eldest grandson Anye smiled softly: "The guards at the palace gate have been replaced by our own people."

Li Xiaochang slapped his hands and smiled excitedly: "It seems that this matter is [-]% sure!"

Chapter 38 I, Wei Xuancheng, have always convinced people with reason

Chapter 38 I, Wei Xuancheng, have always convinced people with reason

The assassinations against Chen Ying, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Gao Shilian all failed. Although Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian's guards from the Yuan Sui Imperial Army did not survive, the assassination of Wei Zheng and Chen Ying, But left alive.

Dai Zhou is well aware of the depth of the water inside, but he is definitely not a fearful official. Although he did not use torture, some things cannot be denied. The assassin who assassinated Chen Ying was one of Feng Deyi's concubines, who had the blood of Mohe Snow Nu.

Although Chen Ying didn't know Xue Nu, there were many people in Chang'an who knew Xue Nu. This Xue Nu was good at singing and dancing. Feng Deyi often showed off Xue Nu to the dignitaries in Chang'an.

As for the assassin who assassinated Wei Zheng, under Dai Jia's interrogation, he confessed the person behind the scenes.

Li Jiancheng hosted a banquet for Chen Ying, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Gao Shilian suppressed the surprise, during the meeting Li Anyan came to report: "Your Majesty, the assassin has confessed, he was hired by Feng Daomao, a son of the Feng family, to assassinate Wei Zheng. The person who assassinated Chen Xiangguo was none other than Feng Deyi's concubine..."

Li Jiancheng was taken aback and said, "The Feng family?"

Li Anyan said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that the assassin's accomplice who confessed has been caught.

Li Jiancheng was furious and said: "I just gave so many rewards to the Feng family, and they dare to kill my humerus minister? Come on, send all the children of the Feng family to prison, find out who is involved in it! "

"Wait a minute!"

Li Jiancheng looked around and saw Chen Ying making a sound.

Wei Zheng looked at Chen Ying suspiciously.

Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you can not kill people, try not to kill people!"

Li Jiancheng said: "If you don't kill such rebellious officials and thieves, it won't be enough for the common people to be angry!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, how many people and households does Datang have today?"

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "The four major guardians of the Tang Dynasty have 360 ​​seven prefectures, with a total of 97 households, a population of 2000 million and more than 43 people."

"Your Majesty, the current territory of the Tang Dynasty is more than twice as large as that of the previous Sui Dynasty!" Chen Ying said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, the Dingkou of the Great Dynasty has been counted, and only the strong Han has been prosperous. The household registration counted, some prefectures and counties, Officials pretended to be political achievements, or deliberately increased their household registration. In some prefectures and counties, officials deliberately reduced their household registration because of hidden taxation. This was reported layer by layer, and finally the household department would summarize it. According to the needs of the bureau, it will be revised, added and deleted, and the final figure recorded in the annals, that is, reported to the emperor on the same day, this number can only be used as the emperor's participation in prison, and cannot be regarded as the original number."

Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard this.In fact, when Datang captured Guanzhong from Hedong, did he realize that now that the world has been unified, the number of registered households is less than one-third of that of the previous dynasty, and more than two-thirds of the population has disappeared.

Where did these people go? Chen Ying was relieved when he thought about the census practices of later generations. In fact, in the era of strict family planning, almost every village had black households.This is still the case after a thousand years, how can we demand the ancients who are far behind in statistical technology?

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and explained: "Generally speaking, if politics is lenient, the household registration will gradually appear, and if politics is harsh, the household registration will gradually disappear. Why? Political lenient, registered household registration is upright, can be protected by the law, has proof of business, and joins the army There are more meritorious services, so the household registration gradually becomes more prominent; politics is harsh, the law does not protect the people, the path to officialdom is not smooth, and those who are registered as household registration are exploited, and there are more disadvantages, so the household registration gradually disappears."

Li Jiancheng was shocked. Although wars were frequent at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the statistics of all wars in the world showed very limited casualties. The war was a major defeat since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but the number of soldiers lost in the five battles was as high as 20. However, the population of Guanzhong has decreased from the peak population of 500 million to the current 300 million, and nearly 200 million people disappeared in the middle. , while other states and counties lost even more people.

Li Jiancheng nodded with no choice but to admit, "In the past few years, the household registration has gradually disappeared."

"Yes!" Chen Ying said without hesitation: "The original number of Dingkou in Guanzhong was at its peak in the first year of Wude. At that time, not only the people in Guanzhong, but also moved more than [-] households from Hedong to Hedong, and more than [-] households from Luoyang. During the seven years since Zong Luohu entered Jingyang in the first year of Wude, Dingkou became more and more prosperous, and political affairs became worse and worse. The law did not protect the people. Three ways."

Li Jiancheng was silent.

He understood Chen Ying's hidden meaning.Although Guanzhong has not experienced war, its population has decreased sharply. In just seven years, it has reduced by a full 200 ​​million people. These people were not killed or starved to death at all, but hid.The root cause of population hiding is actually very simple, that is, major cases and frequent occurrences of critical issues, Wu Dechu, the founding father Liu Wenjing's rebellion case, Li's conspiracy case, Dou Jiande's rebellion case, Xuanwumen, and now the Feng clan, such big cases Once an important case breaks out, tens of thousands of people will be involved. Even if these people are not killed on the spot, they will find ways to escape.

When Chen Ying said this, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Gao Shilian were all silent. They were full of imagination, and looked at Chen Ying with a slightly different look.

Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Could it be that Wu Delu is just a decoration?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, heavy codes should be used in troubled times. Now is not a troubled time, so if you can kill as little as possible, kill as little as possible. Even if it is a heinous crime, you should be pardoned and let them use their actual actions to atone for their sins!"

Chen Ying's purpose is still very simple, it is for the population. It is too difficult to migrate the population to the Western Regions, Liaodong, etc. Now the population in Guanzhong is far from saturated, and it has not exceeded the bearing capacity of the land. Holding the stereotyped thinking that people leave their hometown and be cheap, they refuse to stay away from their homeland.

However, new lands like the Western Regions and Anton must be immigrated to Shibian, otherwise they will not be able to hold on.

Finally, Li Jiancheng nodded heavily.

……

Chang'an City, seal the mansion.A large group of imperial guards surrounded the Fengfu, and the soldiers of the imperial guards surrounded the Fengfu with three floors inside and three floors outside, and it was impenetrable.

A waiter held the sacred decree and read it in front of the hall: "...the crime is unforgivable, and it should be executed. If you read it first, you will be tested for meritorious service, so you will be punished for serious crimes. Jianmen Zhige, Yangwu general post, dispatched to the Western Regions, I hope you will learn lessons in the future and take them as a warning...

Feng Daoyan clenched his fists tightly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

The nephew of the Feng family was tied up and escorted out of the mansion.

There was a burst of crying in the Fengfu.

The people in the surrounding neighborhood stood on high ground to watch.

An audience member who looked like a scholar sighed: "The elders of the three dynasties, when they were prime ministers, their families were locked up by the court before their bones were cold. The court and the emperor are a little too inhuman."

Several people in the same industry around him also echoed.

……

In Chang'an City, in Qujiangfang by the Qujiang Pool, in an unremarkable courtyard, at this time in Chang'an City, all the influential figures of the Guanzhong family were invited to come. Son, lawyer Pei.

The representative of the Changsun family in Luoyang is Changsun Anye.

Luoyang Yuanshi represents Yuan Hongren.

Jingzhao Webster represents Wei Shen.

The Hedong Liu family represents Liu Yannian.

The Dugu family in the cloud represents the cultivation of virtue alone.

The Tianshui Zhao family represents Zhao Mu.

The Yu family in Luoyang represents Yu Gongquan.

All the representatives of the Guanlong family gathered together, and everyone was whispering.At this moment, Yu Wenhua and his birth were in the lobby, and the eldest grandson Anye hurriedly got up and said: "Everyone be quiet, please have a lecture!"

Yu Wenhuaji slowly scanned the crowd with his gaze like a poisonous snake.
