Bandit problem?

Zhang Yue listened and laughed.

He deliberately did not mention the bandit issue in his memorial.

Because, if the bandit issue is mentioned in the memorial, what should I do if the life-sacrificing method is used?

In Qingzhou alone, there are more than 100,000 bandits!

This means that all officials in Qingzhou, from top to bottom, are guilty, regardless of their discrimination.

And it's a death sentence!

However, the bandits must solve it.

If the bandit problem is not solved, even if the tunnel camp is organized, it will be difficult to carry out water conservancy construction and development.

After all, you cannot go deep into the barren mountains and rivers to develop in the situation where local public security is in chaos and people doing business without any money everywhere.

People will also be frightened by chaotic public security!

Zhang Yue bowed and bowed to Liu Qumao and said, "Zong Zhengqing's clarification, and the officials thought that the bandit problem in Qingzhou could no longer be solved simply by violence!"

"Violence can only treat symptoms, not root causes!"

"What's more, the bandits in Qingzhou have long been used to the government's encirclement and suppression. The strategy they use is 'I retreat when the officials advance, I disturb when the officials are stationed, I am tired, I surround when the officials retreat, I pursue when the officials retreat.' Even if the army is mobilized to advance to suppress, it will be useless!"

In fact, the working people in ancient times had long learned how to deal with the ruling class when its strength was strong.

For example, the bandits in Qingzhou, especially the largest ones.

The leader of every team is a talent!

He is well versed in the basic strategies of guerrilla warfare, and they are more intimate and popular than Han officials.

Basically, it is impossible for the government to successfully encircle and suppress the government.

I want to encircle and suppress some guerrillas who are attached to the people and fight locally.

Just ask Midi what happened to him in Iraq and Afghanistan and you will know how difficult it is.

Besides...

Zhang Yue looked at Liu Qumao and bowed: "Zong Zhengqing was promoted from the prefect of Zhuo County. I believe he should know the reason why the people are not afraid of death, but why do they fear it by death!"

"The following officials' opinions, the Qingzhou bandit problem cannot be solved by military, but should be solved by politics!"

"The officials were foolish in their minds that most of the bandits were actually loyal subjects. However, local tyrants and officials levy bribes and forced the people to rebel. They had no choice but to do the bandits and protect themselves!"

"And, the subordinates can guarantee that most of the bandits are loyal and patriotic people!"

"As long as you do good governance and benevolent government, you can give them a way out, most people will not be embarrassed by the country and the emperor!"

Why are the robbers in Qingzhou, or why are the public security deteriorated in Guandong?

Zhang Yue’s trip to Gyeonggi some time ago may be able to give an answer.

Officials impose heavy taxes, landlords and powerful people suck bones and marrow, and the people have no way to survive.

Why not rebel?

To be honest, the people of Qingzhou are just taking over the mountains and becoming kings, and they are just using violence to get rid of the government and doing their own things. They are really very restrained.

It is really the blessing of the last emperors of the Liu family, especially Emperor Taizong!

otherwise……

hehe!

The world has already been full of war!

You should know that in the historical materials that Zhang Yue traced back, there were even unearthed Han bamboo slips that showed that the counties and states in Kanto could actually collect ten cap taxes a year!

Many officials allocated their birthdays, parents' birthday banquets, and even the cost of taking concubines to farmers.

Even the thirty-one land tax that has been constant since the late emperor has been ruined by bureaucrats, aristocrats, landlords and powerful people!

The name "Thirty-one" tax, but in fact it is already ten taxes and one tax, and it is not uncommon now. Even the five taxes and one taxes have happened in Kanto.

What’s even more terrifying is corvee service!

Since the Qin Dynasty, people have served in service, which is actually a fixed rule.

Just like Hanlu, people with less than five doctors or ranks below 600 stones will have to serve the country for one month free of charge every year.

If you don’t go, you have to pay two thousand yuan for the stewardship (300 yuan in the Qin Dynasty).

However, even in Guanzhong, this situation has long been ruined.

When Zhang Yue first took office as Xinfeng, he discovered during an inspection that the government’s policies towards farmers were simple and crude.

In terms of corvee service, whether you go to serve or not, you have to pay for the penalties.

The situation in Kanto may only be more common or even more serious!

Therefore, under such circumstances, the people have not yet killed officials and rebelled, which is really a great gift to the Liu family!

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yue will not take the initiative to anger or expand the incident.

Liu Qumao listened and smiled.

Of course he knew about the local affairs.

Just like Zhuo County, although it is at the foot of the Great Wall of the border counties, many things cannot be compared with the mainland.

The landlords and powerful people in Zhuo County are much better at eating than those in the mainland.

Many people even take the initiative to provide relief and support to the township party, and even take the initiative to exempt the township party from the debts.

But these people did this just to make these people fight to the death of their children and their wealth.

Even so, the people of Zhuo County are under heavy burden!

All kinds of harsh taxes and levies often make them bankrupt.

If it weren't for the military aristocrats in the local areas and the landlords and powerful people who wanted to become military aristocrats, they took the initiative to borrow money and help them overcome difficulties, the farmers in Zhuo County would have gone bankrupt long ago!

Even the farmers in Zhuo County who were helped by local nobles and landlords were just on the verge of bankruptcy.

The life of farmers in Qingzhou is probably...

But everyone knows the truth.

However, solving problems requires a strategy and a feasible strategy.

"What kind of political solution is planned for the Secretariat?" Liu Qumao asked curiously.

And Han said, his eyes narrowed as well.

I sneered in my heart.

Political solution?

He didn't believe it anymore. Can the bandits in Qingzhou be resolved through politics?!

How is that possible!

"Next spring, the first month of the first month will be the 47th anniversary of Your Majesty's Supreme Court. The officials believe that Your Majesty should be a general amnesty for the world and celebrate with the people..." Zhang Yue changed the topic.

"Huh?" Liu Qumao listened, his eyes hopped, and then nodded suddenly, saying, "As the minister said, Your Majesty's 47th anniversary of the Supreme Court, you should be a general amnesty for the world and celebrate with the people! I wish to congratulate my emperor and enjoy the country for thousands of years!"

Today, I attach great importance to this matter.

Didn’t you see that Zhao Ponu turned over because he was the editor of the “Han Unification of the World of the World”, which was "to present a gift to the 47th Anniversary of the Emperor’s Supreme Emperor’s Supreme Lord”, and his status in the court began to rise?

He is not stupid, so of course he knows that this matter can be promoted as a top priority after he is a minister.

After all, such things are not risky, they can flatter and bring them closer to the emperor. Only a fool will not do it!

Once the world is amnesty, the old accounts of the past can be written off.

The officials in Qing Xuyang and the three prefectures who violated the law of life can also be erased.

And those bandits can also have a chance to correct themselves.

But, this alone is probably not enough, right?!

"In addition, the officials thought that the court might send envoys to the south, maintain their rituals to comfort the people, recruit people, and immigrate to Juyan and Loulan!"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "In order to encourage people to migrate, the lower officials thought that when immigrating, the people could occupy free land in the local area!"

"According to the level of his title, he can occupy different areas of land, and the government will register and issue it to the land, fake it with oxen, seeds, houses and farm tools, like the story of Emperor Gao's land in that year!"

"In this matter, we can even formulate laws to imitate Shang Jun's order to reclaim grass, Emperor Gao's order to grant land, and the suggestion of the Xiaguan to allow the people to occupy land freely, and as long as they have been cultivated for more than five years, it belongs to the people's individuals!"

"In order to encourage immigration, the lower official thought that the public might be able to advise His Majesty to raise his title to all those who voluntarily immigrate to encourage the people and immigrate to the border!"

Listening to Zhang Yue's words, Liu Qumao's breathing immediately became rapid.

"Political achievements! Political achievements! Political achievements!" If it weren't for the presence of others now, Liu Qumao would have been dancing.

Immigration to the border was the long-term national policy of the Han Dynasty.

The country has even tried its best to encourage people to immigrate.
