While the old and young people in Xuchang City were in panic all day long, Luoyang City was in a prosperous and upward scene.

According to Zhao Xing's opinion, the Sili area has now been divided into two major prefectures and two directly under the jurisdiction, and Luoyang is one of the directly under the jurisdiction. The original Sili Guanzhong area plus Hanzhong County and Shangjun were combined together to restore the administrative division of Yongzhou during the Qin Dynasty, and the imperial capital Chang'an became a directly under the jurisdiction within a radius of 100 miles; the original Sili Luoyang area plus Nanyang County was combined together and named Fengzhou; the original Jin State Shangdang County was listed separately and became the third directly under the jurisdiction, renamed Guoxing City.

In the future, Yizhou, which has an overly large area, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou will be re-planned one after another, and divided into seven or eight smaller states according to the mountain, river terrain and ethnic gathering areas. For example, if the northern part of Yizhou is renamed Bazhou, the southern part of Yizhou is renamed Changzhou, Changsha County, Guiyang County, and Lingling County in the southern part of Jingzhou is renamed Yongzhou, and the Rinan, Jiuzhen, Jiaozhi and other counties are renamed Yuezhou.

It has always been Zhao Xing's wish to adjust and re-dividate the administrative divisions of the Han Dynasty. It was just because the original fourteen states and the four northeastern states were really inconvenient for the central government to carry out centralized management. Especially the states in remote areas were like unwelcome enclaves, such as Jiaozhou, Wangzhou, Yanzhou, and the future Yongzhou, Yuezhou, and Changzhou.

Zhao Xing wanted to start from him, so he allowed the dense population gathered in the Central Plains to migrate and move in all directions from east, west, south, and north to ensure control and occupation of these remote areas. Under the extreme backwardness of productivity and science and technology at that time, people had a strong sense of rural concepts and family consciousness. If they wanted to immigrate on a large scale, there seemed to be no other way except to avoid war and disasters.

Thinking back then, if the Yellow Turban Rebellion had not broken out, Zhao Xing would not have been able to attract nearly one million refugees from all over the country into the Bingzhou area in just a few years. If this million people had not entered Bingzhou, Zhao Xing would not have enough military strength and economic strength to support it until the last moment in the subsequent Bingzhou defense war.

Later, in order to develop and occupy the Northeast, Zhao Xing racked his brains to find ways to fool the people from all over the country to settle down in the Northeast. Fortunately, the Sima family released a plague in the Xiliang area, which scared the densely populated Guanzhong area and half of the population escaped, all of which made Zhao Xing cheaper.

In terms of how to deal with the huge number of families and old families in Xuchang City, there have been examples for reference.

After the destruction of the Yuan clan in Nanyang and Zhang Wen, these wealthy families who had been entrenched in Nanyang for hundreds of years were uprooted by Guan Yu, and all the land was confiscated. Then they were redistributed by newly appointed officials according to the local population. The land ownership was still accepted into public ownership, and no one was allowed to buy and sell it privately, and illegal land annexation was strictly prohibited.

Compared with the later generations of "beating local tyrants and dividing the land", the outcome of the Yuan clan in Nanyang was undoubtedly better. After all, Zhao Xing did not find an excuse to kill all the aristocratic families, but simply broke them up and placed them in various parts of the Han Dynasty. Some of their existing property was not confiscated, which was enough to allow them to live in the new place of resettlement.

Zhao Xing never worried that he would not eliminate the roots, which made these big families become giants again after several years, and as a result, threatened the existence and security of the empire. It was just because the Han Dynasty today had undergone many major changes from the inside out, especially the ideas and social production methods of ordinary people, which had moved a long way forward. As long as you grasp the state-owned land and strictly prohibit private transactions and annexation, then the wealthy families that originally relied on fiefdoms and land to grow would never have the opportunity to be together again and exploit and oppress with the fundamental production resources of land.

The reason why Zhao Xing was willing to let these wealthy families grow up in remote places was that the wealthy families also had some aspects that they could be used and guided.

Most remote areas are places where foreign races gather, and the cultural and educational undertakings are very backward. People in many places even live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood, slashing and burning, such as the tribes in the southwestern Yizhou, Yiluo and Woju in the northeast. The wealthy families are circulated, and there are many educated children in the clan, and because of habits, the family control is very strong. If these families are separated and migrated to remote corners in the southeast, west and north, I believe that in a few years, they will obey the local indigenous people in Zhao Xing, and even after hundreds of years, they will be completely Chineseized.

Some people are worried that Zhao Xing's actions will lay many hidden dangers for the future of the empire, but Zhao Xing smiled and said that this idea is too short-sighted. Zhao Xing, who knew the history of the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, firmly believed that even if these wealthy families really rise in remote places in the future, it would be the rise of Han civilization and culture. Even if they led their army to the Central Plains, it would be just an internal dispute between the Han people, but it had little to do with the historical tragedy of the Five Barbarians Invasion of China.

The struggle under the same civilization can promote the development and progress of civilization. The struggle between different civilizations is often a tragedy of the destruction of the country and the destruction of a certain civilization.

Zhao Xing would never do anything like that in later generations, some emperors enclosed all the founding dukes, lords, generals and ministers in the imperial capital, and would slaughter and suppress them from time to time. Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was wise and powerful. He was worried that his subordinates would rise up to rebel his children in the future, so he enclosed all these people and their children in Chang'an City. Unfortunately, the Anshi Rebellion several years later proved that the petty approach of the old Li family was completely wrong!

The most suitable destination for the founding kings, princes, generals and ministers was to send them and their children to a faraway place so that they could continue to explore the empire! Similarly, these wealthy families were not frightening beasts. As long as they formulate reasonable and detailed restrictions from the beginning, they would not only not endanger the empire's rule, but on the contrary they would become the empire's greatest aid to control remote areas.

In accordance with Zhao Xing's plan, as long as the central empire firmly controls the army, grasps the development direction of advanced civilization, and is supplemented by reasonable ethnic policies, then the wealthy families and founding heroes who continue to spread outward will still gather under the banner of Han civilization and strive to push the Han civilization to a more distant place.

Zhao Xing believed that compared with the iron hoofs under Genghis Khan, the spread and control of civilization was the real kingdom. The barbaric massacre and burning brought only temporary pleasure, and could not give birth to a brilliant and lasting and great country.
