    Chapter 169: Tan Qi

    "If Uncle Zheng Lian said what he said before and saw the shocking scene caused by the hungry wolf devouring him, these people would have become a quarrel after hearing this.

    But what can the emperor do to compensate everyone?

    This is a very ridiculous idea, but in their hearts, it is perfectly justified. This is our unique right to enjoy. Now that we have to give them up one by one, without a huge compensation, can it be justified?

    But the move will be very big, and the news will spread in Chang'an City immediately

    Li Wei went to the Daming Palace and met with Wu Zetian

    Wu Zetian looked at her son: "You have been very busy recently, how come you have time to come to Daming Palace?"

    "My sons came here specially to visit my mother and queen. I also have sons and daughters who want to do something big now. I am afraid that they are not resourceful enough. I would like to ask my mother and queen for your reference."

    It is also possible to refer to it. After all, Wu Zetian also likes to create. Maybe she may not be able to contribute to national policies, but when it comes to political maneuvering, her big head is unparalleled. She can refer to it, and she can see that she has not taken good care of it in those aspects.

    Either say it or not say it

    It doesn't matter if you don't talk about the problem. I made a statement myself. Son, I don't want to really lock you up to give my mother an idea. Otherwise, she might shoot one or two shots behind her when she makes a decision.  My mother still has this ability. It would be very uncomfortable for me. After all, there is such a big movement. You can¡¯t make any mistakes or all your efforts will be wasted.

    "Tell me"

    Li Wei shared his thoughts one by one

    Wu Zetian was lying on the Taishi chair that came out. To be precise, it was a single sofa. There was no sponge. The silk cushions were stuffed with cotton. Several springs were also designed to make it very comfortable for people to lean on. The first sofa was sent to the Daming Palace.

    After thinking for a while, he said, "This palace has been ignorant for a long time, and I don't know if I am very important, but Hu Yi people have more than many in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

    "The Queen Mother's words are extremely true," Li Wei said respectfully

    This is something I despise. The proportion of the population must be controlled well. You can¡¯t just do whatever you want.

    ¡°It¡¯s getting late, stay and have dinner with me¡±

    "mother¡­¡­"

    "Among you, you are the only one who is closest to me. I have withdrawn from politics for so long, and none of you come to visit me. Isn't it possible for you to even have dinner with me?"

    "son and minister, obey your orders"

    Dinner was brought to the dining room, but in front of his mother, Li Wei couldn't let the eunuch try it, so he ate with difficulty, taking small bites.

    If there is any gadget in it, it¡¯s not a big deal if you take a small bite and you can get treatment immediately. If you eat too much, it¡¯s too late to get treatment. While eating, pay attention to your body¡¯s reaction.

    "Is the food in Daming Palace not as good as Taiji Palace?"

    "Same, I ate late at noon, so I'm not hungry."

    "Hey, who do you think I am? I heard that you used Queen Mother Feng as a metaphor for me. Is Tuo Bahong the biological son of Queen Mother Feng?"

    "No, I'm offended." But Li Wei said in his heart, what happened to my second brother?  It's better for me to be careful and not be careless. Also, tomorrow I will ask the third and fourth children to come and walk around frequently. They should do something to make my mother feel at ease. Once she feels at ease, my rear will be worry-free. If not,  The rear is very unstable

    There was no other way, Li Xian and Li Xulun had no choice but to become victims

    But Wu Zetian was really lonely, far away from the political center, and she was a very energetic person. How could she survive staying in the Daming Palace? She wanted to go out and relax, but she had to wait until next spring when the flowers bloomed, so she often summoned Princess Taiping.  However, Li Lingyue and her husband were in a loving relationship at this time, and it was impossible for her to come to the Daming Palace to accompany her every day.

    Although the eldest son¡¯s carefulness in eating made her very dissatisfied, he finally stayed and ate the meal. Her mood improved slightly and she said, ¡°Eat enough.¡±

    "When I'm full, I won't worry about my mother anymore."

    "Okay, you go"

    After walking out of the Daming Palace, I stretched my waist and moved my body. I am still feeling it. But the historian is very interested in this matter. One day, His Majesty and the Queen Mother had dinner together and returned home happily. Mother and son.  , who should live in harmony, what happened some time ago?

    ¡­¡­

    After careful discussions with the prime ministers, these families were reunited.

    They are the elites among the elites of the Tang Dynasty. They have no objections. Some of the smaller nobles and common people landowners below have no objections.

    Not only them, but also all the ministers in the capital called to Tai Chi Hall and sat down to discuss

    ? FirstAn imperial edict was read out, that is, the imperial edict discussed with Wei Yuanzhong was not issued. He first obtained evidence and delayed the issuance until today. Water conservancy is the top priority for the country's future. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue once made calculations.  Successful implementation may cost a huge amount of more than 80 million yuan, and may even reach 100 million or 150 million yuan.

    But if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge. The cultivated fields alone will be able to accommodate two million households, and the country will increase taxes by at least five million yuan every year. This alone can squeeze out twenty years of population growth.  land pressure

    As long as ministers have integrity, they don¡¯t want to see these big families ruining this huge plan because of their own interests.

    This is real. As for the emperor¡¯s statement about developing Liaodong and Lingnan, they are too far away and few people are interested.

    ????????????????????? However, the big players involved are indifferent. One national decree is implemented, and another is implemented. For example, buying and selling of land is not allowed. What is the result? What is the result? What is the result? What is the result?

    After the reading was finished, Li Wei said: "Song Jing is appointed as the Shuizhu Observation Ambassador to supervise and deal with the illegal occupation of Shuizhu by powerful people across the country and the ineffective handling of officials."

    "Here"

    Li Wei said in his heart: Dude, if I really don¡¯t know the connection, I will send a selfless person to supervise you and see if you can escape Song Jing¡¯s eyes and if you can¡¯t escape again, then I will convince you.

    Of course, even if Song Jing is sent, some of this drama of battle of wits and courage will be sung even until later.

    Then he got down to business and said: "My lords, I said a few days ago that to implement some reforms, the imperial court is forcibly taking your benefits, but it is not only beneficial to the imperial court, but also for the long-term interests of all of you. If there is no prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty,  , do your families have a prosperous population today? Let me tell you the first thing, most states and counties across the country are short of labor."

    "Yes, yes" a chorus of echoes immediately rang out

    He also didn¡¯t want to go against the imperial court. There was indeed a shortage of labor. Li Wei knew this very well. This year, at least 700,000 Turks were packed into the country and scattered across the country. However, they quickly disappeared without a trace, just like a float in water.  If he hadn't come back at that time and attracted the attention of the whole country, this would have caused a sensation.

    It can be seen that the lack of population

    "But there is a place that can meet your needs. Tianzhu has a population of about 50 to 60 million, divided into four castes. The first is priests, called Brahmins, and the second is Kshatriyas, who are nobles. These two castes account for the total population.  Less than ten percent, the third are Vaishyas, which are common people, and the fourth are Sudras, which are slaves. The last surname has the largest number, accounting for about 60%, and is generally regarded as a low caste in India.  Often a bolt of silk can be exchanged for several Sudras."

    In fact, a few seafarers had already purchased slaves from Tianzhu, but they thought about making money from the goods, so they did not think about it. Li Wei deliberately reminded everyone, and everyone's eyes lit up. Some seagoing ships were very large, and could carry more than 10,000 stones.  Of course, loading people cannot be calculated based on the weight of the cargo. No matter how big the ship is, it is impossible to accommodate more than 10,000 people on it. However, it can still be done by loading one or two thousand people, squeezing them in, and bringing some crude supplies.  As for whether more than a thousand people are crowded into a ship, it will be like a pig. No one cares. This is the tragedy of our nation. People-oriented has been proposed for a long time. Since ancient times, there has been only one emperor.  Zhao Zhen, there are quite a few others who shake their heads but shout loudly.

    This is also a hugely profitable business.

    Some people regret so much that they want to slap their thighs

    "I don't believe it. We can produce at least ten million slaves. Isn't that enough for you to squander?"

    Some ministers want to laugh, but some upright ministers are shaking their heads, but they are not joking. There is a lack of labor, the big families are clinging to the tenant farmers and tribes, and the court is helpless. If this problem is not solved, the following reforms will not be promoted.

    "Furthermore, they have been Shudras for generations, living in the most humble environment, and they have been resigned to it. They are far more useful than the various tribes you use. However, this is a group of despicable people. I don't want them to have any problems in the future.  Many descendants have multiplied in the Central Plains.¡±

    There are many people who want to laugh

    Actually, what I mean is, everyone, cut it like you would a Japanese slave. Sharpen the knife quickly and cut off all the male roots.

    No one has considered women. After all, they are not Dongnvqiang. It is a matrilineal society. Children follow their fathers. The father is Han and the children are also Han. The rapid integration can also control the number of foreign races in the Central Plains. This is Wu Zetian's reminder.  Li Wei just came up with this bad idea.

    He also said: "Not only that, I will relax various sea markets, and even send people to open a channel from Nanzhao, and possibly open a land channel from Xinde, so that you can have multiple roads to bring the Shudras from Tianzhu back to the country.  "

    It¡¯s a nice way of saying it. Do you see it? I¡¯m going to use the army for you.

      There are actually reasons. Under the conquests of the Tang Dynasty and Byzantium, the empire was not as unified as in history. It was divided into two caliphates. Zubair occupied Medina and Merwan occupied Damascus. However, Byzantine  Constantinople died last year, and the son who succeeded him was not very successful. The Tang Dynasty gave up the offensive. With the efforts of the Holy See, it still launched a holy war, but the attack was not as powerful as before.

    The Great Cannibal cannot be allowed to recover

    Therefore, it is possible that the army will continue to be used in the next year and the right to train troops in places such as Sindh, so that the cannibals can redistribute their property. In two or three years, they can regain some strength and gain a lot of wealth.

    He was short of money, so he had to make a wrong idea, which also fit in with his world layout.

    The most troublesome problem of manpower is solved, and the next step will be easy. As long as the court does not extort money and use money to redeem it, and there is no shortage of labor, the major families will not stop it and at least half of the tribe can be redeemed.  This is enough

    Li Wei said again: "Let's talk about the land again"
