The place where the Northern Wei Dynasty was founded was the most important area. At the peak of the Northern Wei Dynasty "It reached more than 5 million households and more than 30 million people. Considering that the Northern Wei Dynasty concealed people. It was very serious. The actual population was even more. This made the Tang Dynasty I feel very ashamed when I think about it.
If we look at the actual population, the area as large as the Tang Dynasty during the Xianyu period could only be comparable to that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
It is impossible to estimate the population of the six towns. The number of rebels alone reached more than 200,000. Then it is possible that the population will reach at least two million.
Looking at the Tang Dynasty now, intensive farming, cotton and planting require intensive labor. The workshop industry was more prosperous than before, and many overseas travelers even quietly moved their population overseas under the silent supervision of the imperial court. Except for the once-in-a-century disaster in Guanzhong, the emperor moved more than 200,000 people to the Western Regions. Other times, the need for a population is devouring. The human trafficking industry has never been so prosperous as it has been in recent years. In order to meet the needs of their own states and counties, various states and counties have once again adopted some closed policies to prohibit the movement of people.
The weather has been good this year, not to mention the millions of people, which seems to be necessary. From Fengzhou to Shanyu Duhufu, and then to Yunshuo, even extending to the northwest of Youzhou, this vast area south of Yinshan Mountain is almost The emperor finished his work. It wouldn't work without so many people.
But it is impossible to extract 200,000 people or 100,000 people.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Move a few people, 10,000 people, in this vast area, are you going to go horse riding?
The emperor¡¯s plan is very good. There are five-year plans, ten-year plans, twenty-year plans, fifty-year plans, one-hundred-year plans, and even two-hundred-year and five-hundred-year plans.
But now you have to become a human being.
They are not Turks or Tuyuhun people, they are authentic Central Plains people. Only then can this wonderful six-town plan be realized.
This year is considered to be a smooth one Of course, it is Li Zhi and Wu Zetian who are in trouble for the smooth weather. Did you see that during the previous Zen ceremony, a second saint came, a natural disaster? The last time he was granted Zen, Guanzhong encountered a catastrophe that was rare in a century. As soon as the emperor came back nothing happened.
What does this have to do with Feng Chan But the ancients believed in this.
"However, in this good year, who is willing to move outside the Great Wall? It's ridged, dry, and difficult to plant. Also, the northern Turks don't know when another rebel will come. What will they do then? Officials from various states and counties will not take the initiative to cooperate. I also want political achievements Believe me when I say this There are no people in the country who can move. You won't take off my black gauze hat, right? The only way to do this is to take tenant farmers from wealthy families, but if the tenant farmers are moved away, what will happen to the fields of wealthy families?
No matter how good your thoughts are, the current problem cannot be solved.
Unless there is another catastrophic disaster in Guanzhong.
"This alliance will solve the problem. The six towns are different from the original six towns. At least now the hostile Turks have collapsed. Across the Yinshan Mountains, there will be Turkic tribes loyal to the imperial court. They don't need many people at the beginning, let alone build cities and gates so that after the Turks first moved to the north, they would not be able to settle down, but would have many misunderstandings, which would lead to bad things happening. It was just farming and training troops. And some Turks were half-farming and half-grazing, so there were no farming and farming in Guanzhong. Simple water conservancy. A land like Fengzhou is also a fertile place. Oh By the way, Wei Yuanzhong, I will write another edict to the Lianhui to encourage the people of the world and cultivate good harmony. If there are any contributors, the Lianhui will personally edict to see you. Reward. Then send people to the Shiwei tribe to look for grain and seeds. Lian heard that most of them live a life of half farming, half fishing and half hunting. They also plant some millet, but the planting method is very backward, and they often cannot have enough food and clothing. But the places we live in are all very cold places, and the food we grow must be more suitable for the cold ridge weather. Then we will try to combine a batch in Yingzhou and other places to see if we can cultivate some high-yielding and cold-resistant crops. The northern ministries , if it cannot settle down, it will always be a serious problem in the Central Plains."
Wei Yuanzhong said to everyone: "Gentlemen, we still need to work hard. We cannot let your Majesty do all our things for us."
Wei Zhigu smiled bitterly.
Being a minister under such an emperor is the happiness and care of the ministers. That bowl of chicken soup still reminds him endlessly. It was the best food he had ever eaten in his life. But the emperor himself was not extravagant, and all the ingredients he ate were very simple, and he once again told Yu Tengfang not to waste any food. The clothes he wears are also very simple.
This is the difference in thinking. It is not only about the good food and clothing, but also decades of civilian life in Li Wei's memory. But now, there are thousands of palace maids and eunuchs serving him alone. All the women around him are as beautiful as flowers. They are simply dressed in silk and silk, and they eat big meals every day. Why is there any need to be extravagant and wasteful?
So in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor was a real fortune-teller.?Emperor.
But working under such an emperor requires real talent and hard work. Without real talent and hard work, there is no way you can stand out.
"I'm worried that the emperor is acting too hastily," he said.
"Don't worry, the emperor invited all the famous families here just to negotiate a solution, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes caused by different government orders."
There are also some very special arrangements that Wei Yuanzhong did not mention, which will give these big families a huge "surprise".
Looking at the vermilion wall next door, Ye Ci Mingyue said: "His Majesty used to live there?"
"Um."
"Sister Bi'er, what's it like over there?"
"You can't talk nonsense." Bi'er almost covered her mouth. Now the emperor finally took back his power and lived in Tai Chi Palace and the East Palace.
"Bi'er, we are all from our own family, so you don't need to be so careful." Wei Yue said.
Since Li Wei planned to let Li Lu go out to practice, Bi'er seemed to have done something wrong. She couldn't lift her head when she saw Wei Yue, Pei Yuhe and Zheng Gongchu.
Li Wei didn¡¯t give any clue. He was also watching the movements of these three women.
If there are no accidents, the future East Palace will definitely be born in the next few days. There will be children in the future, but they are too young. I don¡¯t know how many years they will have until they become soldiers. The timing is right now. My health is better than my father's, and I won't eat Monk Hu's immortality balls like my grandfather Li Shimin did. I can still live in my sixties or seventies.
¡°In that case, counting the days now, the elder will be in his forties and the younger will be in his thirties, which is the time to do practical things.
Although people in their twenties can still do things, they still look young when they are in charge of a country. You strive to be fair, but you cannot ignore the influence of external factors.
Relatively speaking, Chuan Yue¡¯s son and Zheng Gongchu¡¯s son are still more competitive than other sons. At least if their talents are equal, they can get more outside support. Next is Qiu Hui's son and Pei Yuhe's adopted son. However, the competitiveness will be much weaker. Even if Pei Yuhe had children in the future, he might not be able to compete with Zheng Wei due to the age difference.
But the son¡¯s garrison commander also depends on the mother¡¯s character.
This is also a test.
It made him very happy, and the two girls have always performed very well.
¡°But whether the two girls are so obedient, only they know in their hearts.
The emperor's return brought vitality to Chang'an again.
Notable families from all over the country also sent people to Chang'an one by one. But they were not summoned immediately. Some of them were as far away as Jiangnan and Jiannan and had not arrived for a while. It will take at least two months for them all to arrive. That is the time for consultation.
But some edicts have been issued.
First, 80 large-scale Changping warehouses, as well as 100 medium-sized Changping warehouses, and more than 700 small Changping warehouses were promoted across the country. All the original voluntary warehouses in various states, counties, and townships were acquired, and management was centralized. All states and counties prepare for disaster years. Especially in northern areas and some mountainous areas, one county has one warehouse. Taxation will be done locally and grain will be stored locally. The grain reserves in the two capitals mainly come from the Jianghuai and Jingzhou areas.
The second edict is the official service, which consists of grassroots officials in each county, such as Li Zheng, senior officials, Wen Bo, Yamen, small and medium-sized Changping Cangcang Ling and Zhu Bo, exempted households from various places, elders with both ability and political integrity, and large families. The younger generation is in charge. This is also a disguised taxation of Yihe. Not only do these grassroots officials receive no salary, they also have to bear responsibilities. But it also shows the court's respect and can bring them greater benefits in some aspects. Besides, there is no shortage of this salary. So there was almost no objection.
The third edict is about talents. Officials in various places can recommend some talents with both ability and political integrity for the officials to select, regardless of their high or low birth status.
The fourth edict is that when officials in various places govern the local area, they must adhere to the purpose of putting the people first.
The main thing is people¡¯s livelihood.
After issuing these edicts and clearing up the backlog of memorials, Li Wei led the civil and military ministers and clan members to the Qianling Mausoleum to pay homage to Li Zhi.
The scale of the Qianling Mausoleum is even greater than that of the Zhaoling Mausoleum. There is a magpie platform at the foot of the mountain, and the left and right breast towers above. Then there are stone statues along the way, including winged beasts, ostriches, war horses, Weng Zhong, stone tigers, stone lions, and some Hu leaders. The top of the mausoleum is the inner city, with four gates: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, which are more than three miles long and wide. Standing on the top of the mausoleum, Li Wei stood silently for a long time. Finally, he said to Qiu Renjie: "It seems that Liu Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Du Chujun, Zhang Wenguan, and Dai Zhide were buried together in the Qianling Mausoleum."
These were all famous ministers of Li Zhishi, but they did not enjoy this honor because they offended Wu Zetian.
Today¡¯s edict is a remedy.
"Here. "
After the lengthy ceremony, looking around, the grass and trees were withered and the sky and the earth were silent, Ji Wei said: "Go back."
Just as he was about to go back, Wu Zetian said: "The Ai family doesn't want to go back."
With a faint word, all the officials he brought changed their expressions, and then looked at Li Wei with their eyes.
Here, Wu Zetian speaks with absolute authority!
