Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chapter 946 I Didn't Dig This Pit Your Highness

It has to be said that the early Tang Dynasty was really the best era for reform. The population in the early Tang Dynasty was withered and a lot of land was barren.

It is not like the serious land mergers in the middle and late dynasties. A large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of landlords and gentry of powerful families, and these people had a large number of tenants to support. Reform was not so easy at all.

However, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were no tenants at all. Some aristocratic families who owned tenants did so because those tenants were actually planted by their non-joint households, and the land under each family’s name was not much. .

There is no shortage of land in the world, so they naturally cannot recruit enough people to help them plant the land. Simple non-registered households cannot buy so much.

Not to mention that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were requirements for one hundred acres of land, and the land was not allowed to be barren. Of course, it is impossible to grow grain on one hundred acres of land. According to the characteristics of various places, some places require part of the land to be planted with hemp, sericulture, etc. of.

In the past, it was because the silk and silk of the Tang Dynasty were the main industries. Now after the reform, although the court has no mandatory regulations on what the people grow, Li Ke controls what the people grow by signing contracts.

In particular, the cultivation of raw materials cannot be less.

Therefore, 100 acres of land will not be left idle. If reforms are not carried out, land mergers will still be unavoidable in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. But now that Li Ke has carried out some reforms such as agricultural taxes, this means that Land annexation is non-existent.

It is naturally impossible for a powerful family to control a large number of people through land.

In the situation in the early Tang Dynasty, it can be said that the influential families had the least influence on the people, and after the agricultural tax reform, the opposition from the powerful families was also the least.

Although Li Shimin does not have the vision of future generations like Li Ke, but seeing that Li Ke has been operating for the past two years, and Li Ke has nothing to do to give him various explanations, Li Shimin also knows some of the importance.

Now Datang has no shortage of land, but lack of people!So find a way to get those people living in the mountainous areas to move out, so that they can immigrate to places suitable for growing crops!

The imperial court willing to emigrate pays for travel expenses and food!Arrange for them to farm directly when they arrive at the place!And the first batch is given priority to allocate fertile land to them for planting.

The same is true for the Tubo people in Qinghai-Tibet Prefecture, as long as they are willing to move to the Central Plains, that's fine too, Gitian!And places like some mountainous areas, such as Yizhou and other places, although the Shu road is difficult, there are plains in the middle of the Shu road, and there are fields to grow.

Move a large number of mountain people down the mountain, let them form a gathering point, and then distribute all the surrounding fields that can be planted.

Don't worry about the land not being distributed, didn't Li Ke say it?There are also islands such as Luzon in Southeast Asia. There are too few people on those islands, and they are all savages who are still eating people. After these savages are wiped out, what is wrong with growing rice in places where rice can be grown twice?

It is the chosen place for the people of Tang Dynasty!Datang now has 2500 million people, even if this number is increased by ten times, there will be no shortage of land for them to grow by then!

Therefore, Li Shimin is not afraid that there will be no land to divide. If it is not more than [-] mu, these people will not be able to grow it. He wants to allocate more to these people.

The reason why the previous imperial court did not enforce immigration or promote immigration was because Li Shimin knew very well that it was difficult for these people to immigrate, and no one was willing to leave their hometown.

But if you let them see the benefits, the benefits that are enough to make them feel excited, then many people are often the most active in leaving their hometowns.

Didn't Li Ke say something well!The people don't want to leave their hometowns, after all, they go to a strange place and they don't know the place they are familiar with?It doesn't matter, your whole village immigrated directly, it is still your village, this time you won't be unfamiliar with the place, right?

Oh, it's true that the land is unfamiliar, but it's fine if people don't give birth, and people live in groups.

Direct collective migration, what else is there to say?If one village is not good enough, then eight villages from ten miles away will be emigrated there.

Anyway, the places that can immigrate like this are often like the mountains and mountains, almost all of which are hundreds of thousands of mountains, and there are too many people living on the mountains.

Overall migration is not impossible, but very possible.

The people nowadays, as long as they are fed, they are willing to do anything!After all, whether the workers or factories Li Ke promotes are mainly concentrated around Chang'an.

Too many places in the Tang Dynasty have not yet experienced this wave of welfare benefits, so it is still difficult for these people to have enough to eat.

But now, Li Shimin has food.

There is food in hand, why is he panicking?Don't panic!Just like what this bastard once told him, if his grandfather had so much food, there would be nothing wrong with Datang.

So what's the point of digging the Grand Canal?If the people could have enough to eat every day, three meals a day, I am afraid that the people at the end of the Sui Dynasty could directly dig the canal to Beihai!

This is the importance of food!

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling immediately bent down to salute, this is a good thing!It's all good!

Didn't your Majesty already say it all, His Royal Highness King Qin has the appearance of a great emperor!This is indeed the case!The output of this grain is astonishing. This year will depend on the wave of winter wheat. If the output of this wave of winter wheat next year does not drop too much, it means that Datang will kill everyone with grain in the future.

"Wei Zheng." Li Shimin turned to Wei Zheng and said.

"His Majesty."

"Your supervisory committee is now a sharp sword to the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty. You are responsible for monitoring officials across the country, so when your subordinates of the supervisory committee speak to these officials, they must be willing to sell your face." Li Shimin said.

Wei Zheng: "..."

Your Majesty, why did you speak so bluntly?This made me not know how to speak when I wanted to remonstrate.

Wei Zheng remained silent, he knew that Li Shimin hadn't finished speaking.

"So, you ask the officials under your supervisory committee to pass a message to the local officials, asking them to find a way to build momentum for Li Ke among the people, tell the truth of the matter to the people, and ask them to give Li Ke a longevity tablet." Li Shimin said lightly.

"Although I don't understand the media or psychology that bastard is talking about, I understand how Datang works now." Li Shimin added while looking at Fang and Wei.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng muttered silently, it's not that we don't help you, Your Highness, it's that you are still too young.

Before His Majesty didn't act, it was because His Majesty hadn't figured out how to trick you, but now... His Majesty made a move, and you couldn't resist.

"By the way, I'll let Qin Qiong come over tomorrow and ask him to start publicizing from the security forces first. Fang Xuanling, please cooperate. The security forces have a great influence, and this kid has ignored them." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes." Fang Xuanling directly agreed.

Cough, the vigorous gift contest is over, and the whole process is heart-wrenching, tsk tsk, everyone must have heard about it.

The author did not appeal to everyone to participate in the whole activity, because I don't want everyone to reward and spend money indiscriminately.

What's more, we can't afford it, poor.

Sure enough, the resulting amount made the author drool.

I believe that the brothers who have read my book should understand the story here after my advice. Hey, everyone knows it well.
