It is gradually coming to late December, less than ten days before the New Year, and these ten days will be the busiest day of the Zhengshi Hall. Just one day apart, nearly 300,000 Hun women and children from Hexi and more than 200,000 Xiongnu women and children from Bingzhou from Bingzhou entered Guanzhong one after another.

Although the government had prepared for a long time, more than 500,000 Xiongnu people entered Guanzhong at the same time, which still brought great pressure to the government. Almost all the governments in the Guanzhong area mobilized. Except for one of the five Shangshus in Pingzhangtai, the other four rushed to Fengyi County and Fufeng County to deal with the resettlement of the Xiongnu people.

Even the Han army immediately dispatched more than 20,000 people to assist local governments in maintaining order in the Huns.

The nearly 300,000 Xiongnu people who were rescued from Hexi finally settled in Qi County. This place has entered Guanzhong and belongs to a county in the north of Fufeng County. The landform here is high in the southwest and low in the northeast, and the Jing River runs through the area from northwest to southeast, dividing Qi County into a landform pattern of two plateaus and one river.

The Huns camp was arranged in three huge ravines about a few miles northeast of the county town. The ravines had mild climate and flat terrain. Three small rivers flowed through them, which was very suitable for camping, so there were also relics of military camps stationed in the three ravines here.

The arrival of 300,000 Huns made Qi County particularly lively. Tens of thousands of tents were built in three large ravines, and a large amount of supplies were sent to the county town through the ice surface of Jingshui. More than 200 officials and more than 1,000 Chang'an Tai students transferred from various places in Guanzhong also rushed to the Huns' headquarters.

The first thing for the Huns was to stabilize them, including food and bedding for winter, and hay to feed livestock. After stabilizing, they would then be registered and booked. This is also the most important thing. It is necessary to confirm that the Hun prisoners of war and their wives and children, and to separate the orphans and widows.

Fortunately, the Huns lived in tribes, so this kind of confirmation was relatively easy. Four days later, more than 20,000 households and more than 100,000 Huns were taken away and sent to Chang'an Xiongnu prisoner-of-war camp to reunite with their husbands or sons.

The remaining 200,000 Hun women and children were mostly widows and orphans. Sorrow began to spread in the camp, and crying women and children could be seen everywhere.

That morning, Liu Jing also arrived in Qi County to inspect the progress of resettlement of the Xiongnu. The head of the Xiongnu resettlement in Qi County was Shangshu Dong He. He heard that His Highness the King of Han arrived, and he came to greet him.

"There are five days left before the day, how is the placement progress?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

"Report to Your Highness, the ascension of the throne and the book is almost over. I am preparing to suspend resettlement after the registration and book is over. After the spring begins, I will start to transfer the population."

Liu Jing tacitly acquiesced to Dong He's plan and asked again: "What are the main difficulties now?"

"The problem is that there is too much population, complete resettlement takes time, and not everyone is willing to be resettled. The minister is worried that some of the Huns will pose a threat to the local area in the future."

"Then first place the Huns who are willing to rely on."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "As for those Xiongnu people who refused to be placed, they will follow the rules of the grassland and send people to the grassland after the beginning of spring to hint at Daman that we have many elite Xiongnu soldiers here, and I believe he will redeem them intentionally, but we must know how to do business and ask him to ask us for it, and believe that we can sell it for a good price."

"Isn't this an enemy?" Dong He said in confusion.

Liu Jing smiled and patted his shoulder: "The great enemy after the Huns were the Xianbei people, no longer us, so don't worry too much."

Dong He nodded, "I understand."

At this time, a large group of registered Xiongnu women were taken out by soldiers. Dong He looked at them and smiled bitterly: "There is another problem now. The emotional fluctuations of some Xiongnu women. The Huns were originally more women and fewer men. Many Xiongnu men often possessed a few wives, and the nobles even had a large group of wives and concubines. In addition, their wars with the Xianbei and ours were consumed. There were not many Xiongnu men. This time, there were not many young and strong men. There were nearly 200,000 young women. The rest were old and children. Now these women heard that their husbands were killed and only the wife and prisoners of war were allowed to reunite. The whole camp cried loudly and cried for two days. Today was only a little better."

Liu Jing said without hesitation: "Now they are already Han subjects, so they need to do it according to our laws. I don't care how many wives and concubines these Xiongnu men used to have. Now they are just ordinary civilians, so they are only allowed to marry one wife, and the Hun nobles are no exception. The extra Xiongnu women must remarry Han people, especially Han soldiers can give priority to marrying wives. At the beginning, they may be a little noisy. After a year or two, they will accept the reality and calm down. Shangshu Dong, you must remember one thing: this is a national policy to increase the population. We cannot be soft-hearted, but we must firmly implement it."

Dong He nodded silently. This is indeed a strategic national policy formulated by Pingzhangtai. It can completely reverse the unfavorable situation of more men and fewer women in the Han Dynasty and have a significant impact on the breeding population.

Although it may sound a bit unkind, it will take at least decades or even hundreds of years to restore the population and economy of the Han Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of Hun women remarried the Han people, which can shorten the time required for this process to a certain extent, so it is called the population strategy.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Han army tried every means to obtain these Hun women and children.

While speaking, they arrived at the Huns camp, the largest of the three Huns camps, with nearly 80,000 people living in the camp. There are three large tents at the outermost part of the valley. This is the place where officials register population. There are long queues in front of the three large tents. As Dong He said, most of the team are women.

Women are the most realistic. Although their husbands are extremely sad, their lives have to continue. After registering the population, they will obtain Han people's household registration, have the opportunity to obtain land and food, and can continue to survive. This is their first priority. Therefore, even though they are sad, their lives must still be the same.

On both sides of the team, dozens of soldiers were responsible for maintaining order. At this time, when the soldiers saw Liu Jing coming up, they knelt down on one knee and whispered: "See Your Highness, the King of Han!"

Liu Jing smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

At this moment, nearly a hundred women suddenly rushed up like a gust of wind. Liu Jing's guard was caught off guard and was broken through the defense line by the women. He rushed to Liu Jing. The women knelt down one after another and shouted excitedly. Surprisingly, many people could speak Chinese. Liu Jing vaguely understood their crying, as if he was asking to reunite with her husband.

Liu Jing immediately understood the identities of these women. They were all the so-called wives and concubines of the Huns. In fact, most of these women were not Huns. There were a large number of Han people, as well as Qiang people, Jie people, and Xianbei people. Most of them were captured by the Huns.

At this time, the guards waved their whips and wanted to drive these women away, but Liu Jing waved his hand to stop the guards from driving them away, and these women gradually became quiet.

Liu Jing then said slowly: "We have captured more than 30,000 Xiongnu prisoners of war. Perhaps they are your husbands, fathers and brothers, but they are now slaves of prisoners and wars. They have to serve hard labor for three years before they can become civilians. During these three years, their food rations are only enough for themselves to make a living and cannot support you. After three years, they can only obtain a small amount of land and can only support one wife at most. You and your children will fall into the poorest situation. If they can't survive, he will sell his wife and daughters. I believe you don't want to live such a life."

Liu Jing's words are simple, but very realistic. In the past, the soldiers translated, many women were touched and slowly lowered their heads. Liu Jing continued: "We have many young men. They have land, houses, food, and live a wealthy life, but they don't have wives. You will live again, become housewives of the family, give birth to their own children, and no one will discriminate against you. The government will also give you land and cattle and sheep as dowry, so that you can remarry and become decent people from now on. Don't you want such a life?"

The women were silent, and it could be seen that many people were moved by it. In the Huns, they were all vassals of men and their property, without dignity, without dignity, and without their own property. At the beginning, they were afraid and did not know their destiny, so they cried and made a fuss, wanting to be with the men of the past.

Now, Liu Jing pointed out a clear path for them, allowing many women to see hope for a new life. At this time, a young woman shouted: "But I have children and I don't want to marry again, what should I do?"

Liu Jing looked at the woman with a sharp look, and the woman immediately lowered her head guiltily. Liu Jing sneered in his heart. He understood the woman's thoughts and said, "If it is really because he is not willing to remarry because he wants to raise a child, the government will not force you. However, the Han Dynasty will never encourage young women to be widowed. Therefore, widows will not get land and houses, and they can only sell themselves as official slaves in order to survive. Poverty will inevitably be poor. And I also want to make it clear that Hanluo does not allow civilians to marry concubines. If you want to take advantage of this loophole and go to find your former husband, then I'm sorry, you will implicate him and the whole family will be dismissed as official slaves."

After Liu Jing finished speaking, he glanced at the woman again. The woman's face turned pale and she didn't dare to say anything. At this time, Liu Jing turned back to Dong He and said, "Tell everyone what I said one by one. The government encourages remarriage and opposes widows. Those who remarry will gain benefits and live a wealthy life. Widows will live a poor life or even become slaves, so that they can choose for themselves."

In fact, women understand these principles. To be a widow, you must have a support from your parents. If you don’t have a family, you can’t support it at all, so you can only remarry as soon as possible.

At the beginning, many women were lucky, but these words were said from Hanzhong, which cut off many women's luck. They could only accept their fate and wait for a new remarriage.

Liu Jing walked into the big tent, and there were a row of tables in the tent. Dozens of scholars sat behind the table, and their pens were flying, registering and booking the women, children and elderly people in the tent. At this time, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty welcomed him and bowed to him and said, "I'm going to see Your Highness!"

"When will the registration be completed?" Liu Jing asked.

"Report to Your Highness, it's over now and it will end tomorrow as soon as possible."

Liu Jing nodded and said to Fei Yi and Dong He: "After the registration is over, everyone can go home on vacation, but I think it seems a bit late to resettle the population in the beginning of next spring. It is best to start to resettle these Hun women and children after the fifth day of the dynasty. What do you think?"

Dong He and Fei Yi looked at each other. They understood that Liu Jing wanted to end the resettlement of the Huns as soon as possible to concentrate on preparing for the Battle of Hefei. The two immediately agreed, "As long as the King of Han wants."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "The main reason is that the army has started to register. I heard that the soldiers are very enthusiastic. Many people are willing to marry these Hun women. In just three days, there are more than 5,000 people registered in the cavalry battalion alone, not to mention other military camps. I guess the army soldiers alone can be placed at least 30%. The brothers are very anxious, so you should hurry up."

“We will complete the placement as fast as possible.”

After solving the problem of women, Liu Jing pointed to several elderly people and said, "There is also the resettlement of the Huns' lonely elderly, Pingzhangtai also needs to come up with a plan to ensure their basic life as much as possible. I think the plan proposed by Shangshu Jiang is very good, give them official land, and then rent it to support them. After their death, the government will take back the land. You can consider the details of the details here."

Dong He and Fei Yi nodded quickly to agree. At this moment, Zhao Yun hurried into the tent. He saw Liu Jing at a glance and smiled from a distance: "I heard that the palace is down, I'm looking for it everywhere, it's true here."

Zhao Yun stepped forward and bowed, "I'm not going to see Your Highness!"

"Thank you for your hard work in Yanhai this time, Zilong."

"Thank you for your concern, but this time there is no question of going out to fight. They are all women, children and elderly people, and the soldiers basically have no losses."
