Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 914: God Emperor Li Xuan
Wang Wenhua was the first to come out, and after a flattery, everyone else also reflected, one by one talking about His Majesty's kindness, the blessings of Li Min, and so on.
It's no wonder that they would say that. You must know that when Li Xuan said 5 million in three years and 10 million in five years, it actually far exceeded their estimates.
The organization of domestic immigration has basically been done in all dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang of the former Ming Dynasty did it, and the scale is not small. Nowadays, many people in Huguang, Guangxi and other places actually came from Jiangxi, Jiangxi and Guangxi during the early Republic of China. Zhili Sidao and other areas migrated to the past.
But there have been many dynasties that have done this, but very few have actually spent money to do it!
Not to mention the astronomical figure of tens of millions of taels!
Most of the immigrant settlements in the past dynasties are forcibly relocated people, and a few will give a small amount of subsidies. Of course, many will give wasteland free of charge. After reclamation, they will also give certain tax incentives, but they will directly spend a lot of money to subsidize them. Yes, or 10 million taels in five years, it has never happened since ancient times!
In the hearts of these courtiers, this kind of thing can definitely be regarded as the benevolence of the emperor. When they say these compliments, they don't even have to go against their hearts, but they are sincere.
But they didn't know that Li Xuan was not simply doing good deeds. First of all, the tax policy of the Tang Dynasty was completely different from that of the previous dynasties. Although the Datang Dynasty spent more money, the taxation at that time was even higher. Even though 10 million taels is a lot, if it is divided into five years, it is actually 2 million taels a year, and 2 million taels of silver is enough to support more than 20,000 people in today’s Tang Dynasty. Professional Army.
Datang's official fiscal budget revenue in Xuanping six years, excluding all kinds of confiscated, loot and other kinds of floating wealth, the tax revenue is about 46 million taels.
Taking two million taels out, in fact, it is only twenty-thirds, the proportion is not large, and it can be squeezed out by saving some basics in other aspects.
At the same time, Li Xuan also considered that there may be a large-scale war this year or next year, but after Zhang Yue is also put on the ground, the large-scale war will actually end, and a large amount of military expenses can be saved by then. In this case, a large amount of money can be freed up to restore people's livelihood and develop the industrial and commercial economy.
The 10 million yuan for this organization of immigrants is actually just a starting point, and Li Xuan has a package of spending plans behind it!
Besides, tax is a thing. To be honest, it is actually taken from the people and used by the people. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty collected so much tax, so why not spend it? Li Xuan couldn’t have learned from those foolish monarchs in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. For the pleasure of building palaces!
And although Li Xuan also likes to enjoy, but he is not like many scumbags in history. He is not interested in all kinds of huge palaces and the like, and eats, drinks and has fun. To be honest, it doesn't cost a lot of money.
However, these are Li Xuan's own thoughts. However, in the eyes of the officials of this era, this approach is already unprecedented in benevolent and virtuous governance.
After Li Xuan accepted the touts from the courtiers, he handed over the meeting to them. Like many meetings in the past, after he set the basic tone, he did not participate much in the detailed content discussions. The following dozens of meetings The ministers and servants will naturally participate actively, and then put forward various problems and solutions.
After waiting for two hours, the basic general direction was determined, but the details still needed to be considered.
The next day, Li Xuan issued an imperial decree to formally establish the Immigration and Reclamation Department, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture. This department will be responsible for the follow-up organization of immigration and reclamation.
Three days later, after various discussions in the cabinet, the resettlement plan for this time was finally determined and officially announced to the world!
The day after it was announced to the world, the new issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily published this imperial decree in its entirety.
The content, however, made almost everyone who saw it couldn't help but admire it!
The above content is actually not much. The core is the following. The first is naturally the most important. The imperial court will invest 5 million taels within three years and 10 million taels within five years to subsidize resettlement settlements. Local policies provide local financial subsidies as appropriate, with a total of about 8,000,000 taels of silver in the initial five-year plan.
Farmers who have no land can apply for it, and then the government will arrange for them to move to the reclamation area. After arriving, they can obtain a certain amount of wasteland, um, permanent property rights, which can be passed on to future generations.
After farmers reclaim their own land, they can get three years of tax exemption, five and a half years of tax, and a total of eight years of tax incentives. This preferential policy has actually been implemented for several years. It is an established preferential policy in the reclamation order. can enjoy.
In addition, it is also very important that after the immigrants arrive at their destination, the government will provide various subsidies, including the unified arrangement of free housing. Although the house is not good, it cannot be a brick house, but an ordinary thatched house, bamboo house, etc. The simple housing, but at least I went to a place where I could have a place to stay.
Agricultural implement subsidies, which generally directly subsidize various iron agricultural implements. Nowadays, the production of steel in the Tang Dynasty has greatly increased, especially after the mass production of several large iron and steel enterprises in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, the amount of official iron and steel has increased significantly. At present, in fact, defense-related industries It is no longer possible to consume so much steel, so these extra production has already begun to be put into the civilian market.
Then there is the seed subsidy, which is the direct distribution of seeds.
Farming cattle subsidy, this is not a direct payment of farming cattle, farming cattle are not cheap, the Datang Dynasty could not do this even if it was rich, so the farming cattle subsidy is actually based on a certain number of households, and then gives one official cattle free use right .
These policies have only one core goal, which is to immigrate a large number of landless peasants to places with less people and more land, especially in the current Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi regions.
Li Xuan is waiting for Huguang to become familiar with the world!
However, although Huguang now has a lot of grain production, it is still far from Huguang, where the world is full of food. Today's Jiangnan is the granary of the world!
To fully develop Huguang, we must reclaim wasteland, and reclaiming wasteland requires labor. Without enough population, Huguang cannot be developed.
Therefore, the focus of the early settlers was Huguang. Well, to be precise, it should be Hunan.
And several small plains in Guangxi and Guangdong, as well as the Pearl River Delta, are also key development areas!
If the above three places are fully developed, even if there is no hybrid rice and no chemical fertilizers, they will still be enough to feed a population of more than 50 million.
As for the total population of the above three places, Datang currently does not have an accurate figure, only estimates. Hunan has a population of more than 6 million, Guangdong is about 5 million, and Guangxi is less, only more than 300. 10,000, a total of about 15 million.
What does this mean? It means that the above three places can support another 35 million people!
In the short term, it can greatly alleviate the current predicament of some people with more people and less land.
In a few years, after Hubei, Sichuan and Liaodong are also taken down, these three places are all good places with a large amount of undeveloped land, which can be developed enough to accommodate another 100 million people!
These areas that can be developed on a large scale, plus some areas in other areas that have not been developed, and these are all to be developed. In short, as long as there is an inch of land that can be cultivated, it cannot be ignored. If Tian Du is used, Li Xuan estimates that before the national population exceeds 400 million, the land problem should not be too serious and will be within a controllable range.
As for what happens after the population exceeds 400 million?
External expansion!
Who said that the grasslands in the north cannot feed people?
Who said that Central Asia cannot support people?
Who said that Southeast Asia cannot support people?
Even if the number of people that can be accommodated is a little less, mosquito legs are still meat!
In addition to the expansion of nearby areas, Australia is even more important. It is a large piece of land without owners. Although it can't be said to be very rich, it is a big place and can accommodate a lot of people no matter what!
Then there is North America, which is a very rich place, and there is no problem in accommodating 200 to 300 million Chinese people!
As for what will happen to the indigenous people in North America, Southeast Asia and other regions in the future, you can generally refer to the colonial history of the original time and space. What the Europeans did, what the Tang Dynasty did, and this kind of thing actually doesn’t need an official organization. As long as the immigrants have passed, the immigrants will always have conflicts with the local indigenous people in order to survive. At that time, either you will die or I will die!
The final outcome of the indigenous people is not something that Li Xuan should consider. It is better to leave it to the goddess of future generations. Now, he only needs to care about the life and death of the Chinese nation, and no one else cares about it!
Immigration policy, whether it is the current domestic immigration or Li Xuan's plan to immigrate overseas in the future, this will be the basic national policy for the next decades or even hundreds of years!
Because if Li Xuan does not want to insist on family planning for a hundred years, then he can only insist on expanding immigration for a hundred years!
If you choose neither of the above two, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be over in the end!
Can't feed the growing population~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It's no use anyway!
After the domestic immigration policy was officially announced to the whole world through the Tang Dynasty Daily, it immediately set off a hurricane of public opinion!
Moreover, all of them are touting Li Xuan. The words of the sage of the ancients are already outdated. Now the touts of the courtiers have begun to be long-winded, because only one or two adjectives can no longer describe Li Xuan. is great!
Nowadays, people touting Li Xuan are no longer limited to being comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but have begun to compare Li Xuan with the Five Gods!
Some people blatantly said that Li Xuan was a **** emperor, a supreme being who stood side by side with the five gods, Baidi, Qingdi, Yandi, Huangdi, and Heidi!
When Li Xuan heard this, he was quite speechless, Nima, read more fantasy novels! 8) Ps: Book friends, I am raining when it rains.
