Chapter 119: Hunyuan Imperial Command

In the edict drafted by Gongsun Xiuming Jia Fan, the full name is "Hunyuan Yu Tongzhe", there are three political measures in total:

First, whether it is Han or Goguryeo, they are all people of Yan. In the future, they will try to speak Chinese, wear Han people's clothes, and local officials set up Han colleges to teach, teach Chinese, and supervise clothes. They will complete the sinicization of Goguryeo. They should not be neglected and treated equally. If there are bullying the people and provoking troubles against the Hu and Han, the law will be beheaded and unpardoned.

Second: To encourage childbirth, a man is twenty years old and a woman is seventeen years old, and a marriage is required in time. Those who marry according to age can be exempted from taxes. The government will give two pots of wine for one child, the government will give a sow for a second child, and a plowing ox for a third child. If a woman is not married to her, the relatives and friends in the village will have the responsibility to arrange for her, either contribute money or effort, get married as soon as possible, and get married as soon as possible.

County officials in various places use the population of the county and single men and women as the audit every year. The number of marriages is reviewed every year, and the population increase and decrease is counted every three years. If the performance meets the standards, there is hope for promotion. If the performance does not meet the standards, or is ranked at the end, it will be punished. Those who make fraudulent arrangements for men and women to report false marriages will be dismissed and will never be hired. If the circumstances are serious, they will be punished.

Third: Hu and Han intermarriage. If a Han man marrys a Goguryeo woman, or a Goguryeo man marrys a Han woman, he can be given three pots of wine, eight feet of silk, one stone of rice, and exempted from one year of labor service and two years of taxes.

These three major measures, collectively known as the "Hunyuan Imperial Imperial Examination", were sent to Liaodong County, Xuantu County, Daifang County, and Lelang County, and were implemented by local officials on the spot and should not be neglected.

When local officials saw the policy of King Yan, they were the small officials who had once had a simple meal, and hurriedly got up and walked around, checking the number of single men and women from house to house to promote the good policies issued by the King of Yan. They also ordered the people to say that they would propose marriage proposals, and that if they had young daughters at home, they had to quickly choose auspicious days for the zodiac signs. The King of Yan issued good policies, which benefited the country and the people.

Gongsun Xiuke took the three words "parents and officials" to the extreme. Officials from all over the country were like fathers and mothers. For their own official positions, they had to do everything they could to rule an unmarried woman with marriage and search for a family in the family. Anyway, they should get married and not affect their official career.

Within a month, the people spontaneously formed a large-scale gathering place for the establishment of a large-scale matchmaker, which was exactly the same as the marriage agency of later generations. After all, in ancient times, there was no matchmaker to get married. The saying in "The Book of Songs·Weifeng·Mang" refers to this.

In traditional Chinese mythology, Nuwa was the earliest matchmaker, so Gongsun Xiu supported this incident after hearing this, and called this folk group that mediators proposed marriage "Nuwa Temple". The meeting between the parents of the man and the woman was called Magpie Bridge. After the appropriate age got married, the matchmaker received the gifts and all three parties were happy.

In the palace, Gongsun Xiu looked at the northwest Changtian, feeling quite proud, and asked Jia Fan beside him, "If we calculate based on this, how many people can be added in thirty years?"

Jia Fan stroked his beard and said, "Twenty years are a generation, and it can last for three generations. Since a couple chooses the number of children of the number of children, they choose five sons as the number. Twenty years later, the five sons will be married, and each of them will be twenty-five grandchildren. In another twenty-five years, they will be one hundred and twenty-five. At this time, the first generation of couples is over sixty years old, and the five sons are about forty years old. Twenty-five grandchildren are just young and strong, and one hundred and twenty-five great-grandchildren are infants. If four generations live together, there will be one hundred and fifty-five people."

Gongsun Xiu just nodded when he heard this. In ancient women's fertility cycle for more than 20 years, the average number of pregnant women was five to six. At this moment, he figured out something and sighed, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Jia Fan was stunned and asked, "Why did the King sigh?"

He said lightly: "After all this trouble is just a child's trick. Wei State is ten times the land of our Yan State, and ten times the people are ten times the most powerful than me in all aspects. How can Yan State reform the old system be equal in time? Wei State develops one year, equivalent to Yan State development ten years of development. On the same conditions, even if good politics is better than the other party, it is impossible to catch up. Since the tycoon's reign, it has been three years. Although there has been a small success in three years of self-governance, how should we resist it after three years of Wei State's reign over three years of self-governance? "

Jia Fan smiled bitterly and said, "After all, the border is bitter and cold. Wei State has all the advantages of heaven and earth. We cannot fight against destiny. Our Yan State has its own advantages, and the king has made great contributions."

This is a gap that cannot be ignored. The population and land of Wei are ten times larger than that of itself, and the size is a huge difference. The increase brought by its annual development is the level that he can only catch up with in his ten years of development. This is like the so-called stock traders who invested in compound interest in later generations. The small capital increased by eight times a year. The average compound annualized rate of return of the stock god Buffett seems to exceed that of the stock god, but the 50,000 yuan is only 400,000 yuan. It is very likely that it will be cut in half when it encounters a pullback. The more tragic ones are directly wiped out. After all, it comes quickly and goes quickly.

The amount of capital of the stock god is over 100 billion US dollars, and the annual investment income is only 20%, which also represents a income of tens of billions. It is a very stupid idea to ignore the gap in size and simply compare the growth rate.

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and smiled, and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for Liaodong to protect itself. It is said that boating against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Mr. Jia believes that why did Zhuge Liang, the late former prime minister of Shu, connect to the Northern Expedition?"

Jia Fan was stunned: "It was naturally for the former ruler of the Liu family. Kong Ming devoted himself to his work, which was respectable. But Shu was a small country. It was difficult to achieve success in the north to fight, but it dragged down himself."

"This is one of them. In order to repay Liu Bei's kindness, Kong Ming sighed day and night and devoted himself to his work, so he had the intention to restore the Han Dynasty. The second is that although Shu Kingdom was small, it was won because it had not experienced wars. The current situation was still good and there was no declining situation. The Wei Kingdom was different. It was located in the heart of the Central Plains, and there were the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and the two Yuans fought for hegemony. The destruction was extremely serious everywhere. In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was defeated by the Red Cliff. When Cao Pi usurped the rebellion and Wei Kingdom first prospered, it was after the chaos that the population was severely reduced. Many princes and kings in the feudal states generally used the name of the land to be "nameless but not real."

Gongsun Xiu talked happily and continued: "Imagine if there is no war in another twenty years, the Wei Kingdom is gradually reviving and the vitality of the Central Plains is restored, then Shu, Wu and Yan will no longer have the opportunity to compete for the world, so they can only stay in a corner and wait for death. There is no other way."

Jia Fan agreed with this view and suddenly said: "This is not bad. Although most of Kongming's northern expeditions returned in vain, it did not seriously damage the strength of Shu. On the contrary, Kong Ming's technique of commanding troops was used both internal affairs and harassing the land. He did not harvest grains and wheat for many years, farmers abandoned their businesses, the people were hungry, the soldiers did not disarm their armor, and China did not release their saddles."

Through analysis, he also understood that Zhuge Liang was a real military and political genius. In "The Three Kingdoms", Chen Shou commented that he "governing the military is the best, and making strange plans is the shortest", as if he criticized Zhuge Liang for not using troops, but in fact, Lao Zhu's internal management was almost impossible to find for a thousand years. Even Sima Yi entered the camp left by Zhuge Liang, and looked at his distribution and shouted "the genius of the world".

In the sixth year of Zhuge Liang's five expeditions, there were only three truly large-scale military operations in the Northern Expedition, and only two were used for more than 50,000 troops. The strategy of using troops was "using 80,000, often leaving 40,000, thinking that it was a replacement." The Shu army adopted a rotational battle, and a group of people went to the battlefield to practice, and after practicing, they replaced a group of novices. Since the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang has never done business of losing all his money and playing gambling.

The situation of Yan State is like Shu and Wu State, both of which are in a corner, and are managed by natural dangers and geographical advantages. This is also the ultimate unification of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yan, who swallowed the foundation of Wei State. It is not that the Sima family is powerful, but that the foundation left by the three generations of the Cao family, is qualified to unify the world.

Is there really no chance to win?

If it were three years ago, Gongsun Xiu would definitely ignore such things, and would just live in troubled times, without seeking unification. Who would have nothing to do with it? If Yan State can be more peaceful, he would be more peaceful. He would just be more careless when he was alive, but he would not care about the flood after his death. But now with a princess and a son Gongsun Ba, what should he do if his wife and children are at the end of his life?

If the Sima family still unifies the Three Kingdoms according to the historical trend, Yan State will not be spared. The orphan and widowed mother have nothing to ask for but die, and they may be bullied. This is something he could not accept, and he thought to himself: "You must seek an opportunity to break the enemy. No matter what, you cannot wait for death. Whether it is Sima Yi or Cao Shuang, if you want to invade Yan State, you must do the consequences of getting rid of the skin."
