In the Tai Chi Hall, Chen Kefu asked Fang Xuanling: "The Zuo Pushe should have known what happened outside the city today, right? I think it is appropriate to use the old ministers of Li Tang such as Pei Ji in Hedong?" Fang Xuanling also knew about the things outside the city today. When Chen Guang, the general of the Hu Ben Guard, happened to meet him in the palace when he returned to the city, and all the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were there at that time. Everyone knew from Chen Guang's somewhat indignant tone that the emperor valued the old subordinates of Li Tang.

The first moment he heard the news, Fang Xuanling was surprised and turned silent. He treated these nobles from Guanlong in Hedong and accepted them for use by the court. This was originally something that all the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall agreed. But the current situation was that the emperor's kindness was too generous, and he even surpassed many of the meritorious subordinates who had always followed the emperor. Such a situation had to make them think deeply. It is possible to read history clearly, and Fang Xuanling is now in charge of the task of revising Sui history. Today's events reminded him of Yang Guang and his son. After Yang Guang came to power, the most trusted nobles in the court were not the Guanlong nobles who founded the Great Sui country, but most of them were upstarts from Jiangnan.

In Fang Xuanling's view, the reason why Yang Guang did that was similar to what the emperor did today was. Checking and balancing, the court tried its best to crack down on the old family and aristocratic clans, and so that the imperial court's meritorious group is now the dominant group. Although this matter is nothing on the surface, the emperor is not an ordinary person. His eyes on things are different from those of his ministers. For the emperor, balance is the most important thing. The Guanlong nobles in Hedong have a high reputation and talent, but they just have no status. Now that the emperor has moved these people to Luoyang and separated from the foundation of Hedong, they have become waterless fish and must rely on the emperor to survive.

The emperor's purpose of treating these people well now made Fang Xuanling very convinced that the emperor was preparing for the future. He cultivated a new force to balance the meritorious groups and prevented them from becoming another Guanlong group, such as the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty. Although this approach made them, such heroes a little scared, from the emperor's perspective, these are extremely normal things.

At this time, when the emperor asked about this, Fang Xuanling was very cautious. The emperor and the meritorious officials should not be rich and noble. To put it bluntly, it is to share the power. The emperor can allow the meritorious officials to be rich, but they are not allowed to share the emperor's power too much. Fang Xuanling didn't know if the emperor was testing him, but he answered very carefully: "Of course, yes, I didn't expect it in advance, but it was indeed used well. Pei Ji and others are all from Hedong, and now they treat Pei Ji and others well. First, they show your majesty's kindness to the world. Second, they also appease the hearts of the Hedong clans, let them be used by the court, and help the court recover Hedong as soon as possible and end the chaos in Hedong."

Du Ruhui did not think as far as Fang Xuanling thought. He frowned and said, "This matter is a bit dangerous. Pei Ji and others are all Hedong clans. They had always wanted to kill us. Now that Hedong has not yet settled, these people have been awarded high-ranking officials and generous titles, and even assigned them to various places. Could this be the release of tigers to the mountains and raise tigers as a disaster?"

Gao Shilian said: "It's time to take back the will now."

Chen Kefu's eyes swept over the prime ministers of these empires. Except for Gao Shilian, Lu Guangli, and Li Benlei, the rest of them were still too young. Especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were actually in charge of the Shangshu Province, were still in their early thirties: "What I issued is an imperial edict, the emperor's decree, and the golden words. How could I regret it later? What's more, Pei Ji and others are indeed talents. Now we are not in Liaodong and Hebei. We are no longer the same.

As a separatist regime, we are the orthodox government of the world, and the Great Chen court. I don’t want everyone to always be prejudiced, pulling mountains, dividing factions, and causing party struggles. If today’s time, the four sides are in decline, this is the time when the court needs to attract talents. Only by accepting the talents of the world for the court can the court grow stronger and restore national strength as quickly as possible. Otherwise, today we will push those talented people out of the door, and maybe tomorrow they will rebel against us."

Chen Jie said: "In this way, it's probably too cheap for these people. Moreover, the rewards given to these people by Your Majesty are a bit too heavy. They have no achievements in the new court, so the rewards are so generous. This makes the civil and military officials who follow Your Majesty through life and death inevitably dissatisfied. I have no intention of establishing a mountain, but I just hope that Your Majesty can consider the feelings of the soldiers."

Chen Kefu patted his head, and everything needed to be taken into account, which made him a little annoyed.

"The Ministry of Rites has drawn up a list to posthumously award the titles of their parents to the court's meritorious civil and military generals, and to their children to the official positions, to the wives of meritorious officials, to reward land on the border, and to all the meritorious officials with titles, to give the titles of death tolls." After thinking about it, Chen Kefu took out this set of rewards. He gave the titles of the ancestors of meritorious officials. This is just a name, and the court does not need to pay any real

The edicts of the mothers and wives of the heroes only require a little salary from the imperial court. As for the positions of the heroes to be given to the children of the heroes, they are only some noble and nice idle positions. The land on the border is afraid that no one will be reclaimed and not afraid of rewarding the ministers. Even this iron voucher is completely a glorious thing. If he really wants to kill any minister, how could he care about such an iron voucher?

After hearing the emperor's proposal, Lu Guangli also agreed very much. These things were just unrealistic things for the emperor and the court, but they were extremely honorable to the ministers. They granted their wives and sons, gave them to their ancestors, obtained fiefs, and were given iron coupons. Each of these things could make the ministers very grateful. Giving these things would make the soldiers feel uncomfortable and satisfied.

"Your Majesty, it's too cheap to treat the Hedong nobles like this. The old minister suggested that the court is in short supply of food now, and Your Majesty can borrow food from all the noble families who surrendered to the court. The court treated them so well, and now it is time for them to repay the court." As soon as Lu Guangli said this proposal, the prime ministers present all showed strange smiles.

This kind of borrowing food was a killing of two birds with one stone. When they were in Hebei, the court borrowed food from the aristocratic tribes in Hebei, and then forced them to rebel against them and took the opportunity to clean them all. Now that they cannot explicitly deal with the aristocratic nobles in Hedong, they are not willing to be the losers in the same palace as them. Then they will retake the same trick. If they honestly hand over the food hoarded by each family, they will let them go at one go, and everyone's anger will be in the heart. If they dare not to borrow food, then the aristocratic tribes in Hebei will be the precedent. At that time, the emperor will never be able to protect them clearly.

Chen Kefu looked at Lu Guangli, but he didn't understand the meaning of this old uncle who had been with him for more than 20 years. However, he just hesitated for a moment and did not object to this proposal. Now the court is in a very shortage of food. The court has ordered that any family and merchants be strictly prohibited from hoarding food, and all the food must be sold to the court at a fair price to distribute it to various places to deal with this food shortage. Although Chen Kefu did have the intention to use these Hedong nobles to slightly balance the power of the court, it did not mean that he had to favor them in everything.

Hearing that the emperor agreed to this proposal, Chen Jie simply further proposed to move all the Hedong noble families to Luoyang. First, moving them to Luoyang can fill Luoyang and enhance the prosperity of the capital. Second, moving them to Luoyang can also avoid the possibility of chaos in the future.

Migration. This has always been a treasure to deal with local forces. I remember that after Chen Kefu and his friends destroyed Goguryeo in Liaodong, in order to prevent the rebellion of the Goguryeo people, they also carried out a major migration of the Goguryeo people when they were bloody of the Goguryeo nobles. Not only did they disrupt the majority of the people, but they also listed the leaders and wealthy families alone and concentrated them to Liaoyang and other places where the heavy troops of the Liaodong Army were located.

Migration can well destroy the local clan forces and the crisscrossing relationship like spider silk webs. In this era, rebellion is generally based on three modes, one is to rebel with troops, the second is to local tyrants kill officials and rebels, and the third is to gather people to cause chaos.

At present, the Great Chen Fu did not have complete jurisdiction over the newly recovered places. Most of the time, the county-level places still rely on those clan forces to manage them. Apart from rebellion with troops and refugees gathering people into chaos, the most likely turmoil is the local clan forces to rebel. Moving the people is undoubtedly a good way to break this complex local relationship and allow the court to control various grassroots places.

After thinking about it, Chen Kefu did not object to Chen Jie's proposal. On the contrary, Chen Kefu not only agreed with Lu Guangli's proposal to borrow grain from the Hedong noble families, but also agreed to issue an order to relocate Hedong noble families and those who own more than 500 mu of land or those who own more than 1,000 chunks of land, all of them immigrated to Henan Province. The noble families moved to Luoyang, Zhongzhili province, and the wealthy families in Hedong moved to the prefectures of Henan Province.

Not only that, Chen Kefu also asked local prefectures and counties to check the list of wealthy families and nobles in each prefecture. All the nobles of the previous dynasty and officials of the fifth rank or above must move to Zhongjing Luoyang, Beijing Jicheng, and Tokyo Liaoyang. Any land with a land of more than 500 mu or a household property of more than 1,000 guan will be immigrated to Henan, Shandong, Hebei, as well as Liaodong, western Liaoning, Haidong, Haidong, Haixi, and northern Mobei provinces.

For Chen Kefu, such large-scale immigration was carried out at this time, firstly to break the original clan power relations in various places, prevent the world from being rebelled with local forces in the new time, and some people took advantage of the disaster year to make chaos with local forces. Secondly, it was also to enrich some of the major capitals that had been in decline after several wars. Another more important reason was that this time, there would be a large-scale famine in Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places. Instead of passively letting millions of people stay in the Central Plains and wait for death, it would be better to scatter these people to border areas and other places in advance, and reduce the population of various provinces, so that the people left behind can also fish, hunt or wait for the court to provide relief. The people who have moved away can also have more opportunities, which is better than everyone who has gone like locusts and eat up all the leaves.

In mid-June, the court issued an order to move various places, and a huge immigration involving more than a dozen provinces began. Tens of millions of people began to immigrate, and the people who were originally the hardest to leave their hometown also surrendered in the face of the greatest famine that was about to come to the first year of Shenlong. The court did not even have much verbal talk and began to carry out this large immigration involving the entire Chen Dynasty provincial government. Countless people left their hometowns, took their wives and children, and began to move with their families, leaving them like this because there was no rice at home. The court promised that the new family that arrived would have food from the court, and there would be several times their own land that belonged to them several times more than their hometown. The rich nobles and wealthy families were unwilling to leave their homes. They had food and land, but the court directly sent soldiers from all over the country to help them move with swords and guns. In the end, all the noble families moved to designated places honestly.
