After Li Yuehou buried Fu Jian, the Qin troops in Tongguan, Wuguan, Shangyong, Lantian and other places surrendered directly.
The surrendered soldiers came with their families and their families, just asking for a good meal.
In half a month, the number of people in Puban increased to three to four hundred thousand.
These people claimed to be surrendered, but they were actually fleeing. People in Guanzhong had starved to death, and many Qin soldiers had not been given food for two consecutive months, relying entirely on wild animals in the mountains and fish in the water.
But these things are acceptable for the toothpaste, but they are too difficult to fill the stomach.
Many wild animals also starved to death. In summer, the Weishui River dried up and there were no fish left.
Although Di Qin was destroyed, a huge mess was left behind, which made Li Yue anxious.
"Why go to all the trouble and feed them with Daliang's food? We will see later... there are many Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Qiang Di among the prisoners. It's better to trap them and kill them!" Zhang Hao said expressionlessly.
Wei Shan guarded Chang'an, and Zhang Hao escorted the Di Qin clan back to Puban, and stayed with Li Yue.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
Only now did Li Yue understand why Xiang Yu had to trap and kill his soldiers. Only in this way was the most cost-effective way and there were fewer hidden dangers.
"The Hu people killed so many of us back then, but now they kill him for 400,000, so what? It's like avenging the Chinese people!" Zhang Hao said with a grin, showing his white teeth.
Wu Fu's logic is always simple and direct.
"Your Majesty must not act like this. Daliang is the orthodoxy of the world. He trusted me and surrendered to him. If he is trapped and killed now, who in the world will dare to surrender to Daliang in the future? Moreover, many of the people who surrendered were Chinese people and Guanxi scholars. Don't generalize." Liu Ying quickly advised him.
Li Yue looked at Cui Hong, and Cui Hong cupped his hands and said: "I'm afraid that if these surrenders are killed, all Guanzhong will rebel. There are still two months until the autumn harvest. It's better to fill the gap between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River to enrich the population."
Killing people doesn't solve the problem.
It's convenient now, but it will be more troublesome later.
Under Fu Jian's influence, the Di people were basically Sinicized. They also adopted Chinese names, used Chinese characters, read Chinese classics, and farmed for a living.
Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Di, Jie, Hu, among which Qiang and Di are not counted as Yi and Di.
During the Zhou Dynasty, the Qiang people assisted Jiang Ziya to destroy the Shang Dynasty, and the Han-Qiang war began. Many Qiang tribes assisted the Han army in attacking other Qiang people...
Qiang and Di Huaxia, I have already been among you, and you are among me.
The northern country is already empty of population, and if three or four hundred thousand people are killed, even the stone tiger will tremble.
From any aspect, entrapment and killing are not the best method, and the hidden dangers are huge.
"Then send it to Nanyang first. After the autumn harvest, when there is food, it will be moved to Jianghuai. You will personally supervise this matter." Li Yue said to Cui Hong.
Everyone surrendered, they were all killed, and the reputation spread out. Di Qin was destroyed, and the situation in the world entered a new stage. Now we have to consider how to eat the prime minister, because there is still the Jin Dynasty in the south that has not been destroyed.
There is enough killing in the world.
If it were a barbarian, Li Yue would kill him without hesitation, but most of the people who came over were Central Plains people.
What does it mean if one of your own people kills your own people?
Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin soldiers and surrendered them. From then on, the children of Guanzhong followed Liu Bang and fought Xiang Yu to the end.
There are still Yao Chang, Fu Ya, and Fu Luo in Guanzhong. Doing this will actually drive the population towards them, which is equivalent to helping them a lot.
"Take the order!" Cui Hong handed over his hand.
"Your Majesty, the Royal Governor is reporting." Lu Qing came in to report.
Li Yue took the memorial and said, "...I am rectifying Guandong and suppressing the powerful. It is definitely not for one person's selfish interests. All households are state-owned, how can they be used as food and towns for one person? If you accept it now, the achievements of innovation will be in vain." , I hope your Majesty will understand..."
Wang Meng is worthy of being Wang Meng. He can tell the truth. Not only did he refuse the rewards from Qinghe County Duke and Shiyi, but he also severely punished a few nonsense talkers.
There was no taboo between the monarch and his ministers. The memorial also frankly stated the disadvantages of establishing a prime minister and supported Li Yue's system of group prime ministers.
"Jing Lue is a real scholar!" Li Yue sighed with emotion.
As long as he is here, there will be no chaos in Guanzhong. The only thing Li Yue is worried about is his body. He is thinking about setting up a medical clinic in Chang'an after returning to Yecheng and arranging more famous doctors to keep an eye on him.
After the various disciplines of medicine, engineering, and arithmetic were merged into Taixue, various academic disciplines in Daliang flourished. Many scholars who were proficient in this field no longer had to focus on becoming officials.
The promotion of paper and printing also affected Samanas and Taoists, and they prospered together.
During this period, a successor of Tianshi Tao appeared in Pingyuan County, named Dongfang Chen. He claimed to be the strange man Dongfang Shuo during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. A large number of devotees.
However, these days, monks and Taoists are not mortals, and they are always ready to rebel with their swords. Tianshi Dao is the best among them.
The school affairs office is already keeping an eye on him.
Li Yue still supports the local sect, and its existence is reasonable. The Taoist sect has been inherited from the Han Dynasty to the present and has formed a very powerful force in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, the rise of Daomen can curb the expansion of Shamen.
Ge Hong in Jiangdong improved Taoist theory, and Taoism flourished. Even the Wang family of Langya became believers.
After so many years of war in the North, religion has its own meaning.
Confucianism is high and out of reach of ordinary people, and Taoism can make up for it.
Besides, if this territory is not occupied by oneself, it will be occupied by external forces. On the contrary, if the Taoist sect rises or the Shamen reform is successful, it will also become the carrier of Chinese civilization's external expansion in the future.
Shi Dao'an, a famous monk in Daliang, was frantically translating scriptures in Taixue to make them Confucian and adapt to the local environment.
Of course, we are still observing and brewing.
"Your Majesty, I'm very happy. There was a heavy rain in Luoyang three days ago!" the guard reported outside the hall.
"Heavy rain?" Li Yue was also happy.
This is a good sign. If it rains heavily in Luoyang, it will soon rain in Yuzhou and Yezhong.
God was kind, and this severe drought lasted only about ten months.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is the auspiciousness sent by heaven. Luoyang is the emperor's territory, so the rain falls." Liu Ying cupped his hands and said.
He does not mean that.
It makes sense that so many dynasties established their capital in Luoyang in ancient times.
Luoyang occupies the center of the world, touches the Central Plains to the east and controls Guandong, looks to the east of the river and borders Guanzhong to the west. An ancient Weihan Road connects Guandong and Guanzhong.
Money and grain from Jingxiang and Jianghuai can be transported quickly through waterways.
If a country wants stability, most of the time it will build its capital in Luoyang.
On the other hand, Luoyang represents Chinese orthodoxy, while Yecheng is somewhat suspected of being a barbarian capital because Jie and Zhao have been entrenched for many years.
From the chaos of the late Han Dynasty to the present, the most critical issue at the moment is not to expand the territory, but to stabilize the internal affairs and restore China's vitality.
Li Yue was excited. Moving the capital to Luoyang had many benefits.
One, it can suppress the gentry in Hebei, the other, it can strengthen the connection with Guanzhong, and the third, it can further gain legitimacy and attack the legitimacy of Jiangdong...
In this era, Guanzhong is also a geographical area that cannot be underestimated. It has huge potential and is full of barbarians. Yecheng is too far away and cannot be fully controlled. If you are not careful, it will lead to rebellion.
However, this matter is too big to be decided simply by patting one's head. It is necessary to consider all aspects and find a suitable time.
