    Liu Che was silent, seeming to be thinking and scrutinizing. He didn't nod excitedly like he did a few years ago. He had his own thoughts.  "General Chariot and Cavalry said something wrong. It seems to have nothing to do with the migration of people to the border." "It has a lot to do with the contradiction between population and land, a simple contradiction between supply and demand. When the supplied food cannot meet the demand of the market, the food on the market will  If you buy short for a while, the price of food will naturally increase. This has little to do with speculation by profiteers. This is a faithful reflection of the normal contradiction between supply and demand in the market. We have only two ways to solve the contradiction between supply and demand. The first is to increase revenue, and the second is to reduce expenditure.  " Cao Shi raised two fingers. Saving money is of little significance to the market. It is impossible to expect people who buy food to live frugally and live as simply as farmers. Rich people do not cherish food and cause extravagance and waste.  It's a normal behavior. You can eat shark's fin, abalone and other delicacies from the mountains and seas, but why would you eat pancakes, rolls, scallions and steamed buns with gruel?  The distribution of interests is never balanced. A small amount of interests are controlled by a few people in any system. Unless it evolves to the point where everyone is like a dragon, it will not change for thousands of years. A good emperor will narrow the gap in interest distribution as much as possible and maintain the basic  For fairness, if you really can't keep the gap, just divide the levels. Those with military merit are at the top and those without military merit are at the bottom. It's simple and crude but also the most fair.  "There is nothing to talk about reducing expenditure. The focus is on increasing revenue. We need a huge amount of land that can cultivate food, preferably warm, humid and livable land. Looking around, there is no better land than the Central Plains, but the Central Plains is really  It¡¯s too small. Based on the current level of farming, the theoretical upper limit of the population is 100 million. How long does it take for your Majesty to reach 100 million people? ¡°That¡¯s sixty years at most without the interference of wars and natural disasters.¡±  "I will see it when my son becomes emperor." "How is that possible?" "Statistics will tell your majesty the correct answer." The chamberlain took the statistical yearbook, which contained a curve chart made two years ago.  Liu Che couldn't help but lean forward and take a closer look. There was a zigzag line going up on the trend chart.  He frowned and couldn't understand: "What's this? It's just a picture." Cao Shi held up the curve trend picture and said: "Your Majesty, please look at the marks on both sides. There is a vertical column of marks indicating that the population has slowly climbed from 17 million to 36 million.  The horizontal row marks the time from the first year of the Han Dynasty to 1 year, and the death of Emperor Gaozongjing was 65 years. It only took us 65 years to increase the population by more than 19 million. Among them, the population had two major fluctuations. The first was the founding of the country by Taizu.  In the twelfth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu attacked princes with different surnames such as Jiujiang Wang Yingbu, Yan Wang Lu Wan, and Dai Wang Han Xin. Frequent wars in the early days of the founding of the country led to a very slow recovery of people's livelihood. The second time was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu.  The population dropped sharply, and the population growth completely stagnated in the next year. The population growth improved slightly in the third year, and returned to normal in the fourth year. In addition, from the era of the late emperor to the late emperor, multiple droughts, floods and snowstorms led to the emergence of refugees.  The Xiongnu's plunder caused the border county's population to grow at a low rate for a long time. A closer look at the population growth rate every year shows that the population growth rate was more than 2% in 35 years, and the population increased by 200,000 per year, excluding the abnormal growth rate.  Except for the decline, it has maintained rapid growth. And His Majesty is a wise king through the ages. It is inevitable that the Han family will have peace and prosperity in the next 50 years. If there is no impact of war and natural disasters, there will be no problem in maintaining a 2% increase in population this year.  The population will increase by 800,000 per year in the next three years, and by 900,000 in three years, and by 100,000 in the next three years.  The population has doubled to more than 75 million, and the population can easily exceed 100 million in the remaining 20 years. This growth momentum cannot be curbed unless a large-scale civil war comparable to the Chu-Han War breaks out, and the crisis of the collapse of the country can only lead to bloodshed.  But doing so is tantamount to digging one's own grave, which is not what a wise man would do. "Liu Che walked slowly in the court. Behind him was a giant map four feet wide and three feet high, according to the layout of the map in the map room.  An enlarged copy of the prototype. The main part of the map is the territory of the Han Empire and the offshore islands. Except for the sea in the southeast two directions, the west, northwest, north, and northeast are all outside the territory.  Obviously, Liu Che had not thought about the problem of population. In his mind, population was a dividend. The more the population, the stronger the country. Many of the knowledge Cao Shi once instilled also included a brief introduction to the demographic dividend. Suddenly one day he told the emperor that the population would be  A time bomb may suddenly explode at a certain moment, blowing up the Han Empire.  The emperor was very puzzled. He kept pacing and turned back and forth dozens of times. He didn't understand why the population would become a burden. It should obviously be getting better and better, but he couldn't accept this reality.  "Your Majesty." "Wait a minute, let me think about it again." Liu Che suddenly turned around: "I still can't understand, how could this be" "Everything is divided into good and evil, Shengmi EnFighting against rice, opening warehouses and stocking grain can feed lazy people, and people who have no worries about food and clothing can easily become bored with things. Your Majesty, look at the military merits of the Han Dynasty and the princes and kings. They are the important forces of the Han Empire to ensure that the imperial power and the court will not get out of control. Such an important force only uses six  It has decayed into disgrace in ten years. If it is allowed to continue to develop, it will be useless within thirty years. A complete and mature system will self-destruct, which is a huge loss to His Majesty and the court. This phenomenon corresponds to the impact of population.  The benefits and harms are also similar.  "Liu Che understood. "A large population is a good thing. The growth rate of the population is related to the life and death of the country and the world. Too much population is a bad thing. There is not enough food to feed and clothe the people. Over time, the accumulation of resentment changes from quantitative to qualitative.  The empire suddenly collapsed. The whole process was like the rapid decline of the military elite class. Their luxurious life made their appetite bigger and bigger. The Han Empire was a big eater with a super appetite. If it wanted to maintain long-term peace and stability, it must be maintained through constant eating.  , because people will never be satisfied. "I am the supreme emperor. I am rich all over the world. I must be fundamentally responsible for the people of the world to settle down and live. I want to lay down a larger territory to solve the contradiction between food and population. What you want to explain.  That's it, right?  "The almost affirmative tone left no room for doubt. Liu Che needed to confirm that his wisdom and understanding were complete and correct. Facing the emperor's questioning gaze, Cao took advantage of the situation and said: "I have come to the conclusion after several years of hard thinking. Your Majesty only took half an hour to come up with it.  Complete reproduction, your majesty¡¯s wisdom is extremely high, and your ministers are far behind!  " Harmless flattery can ease the harsh relationship. Liu Che's face smiled slightly: "I think your ideas are very strange. They are so incredible every time. You can always convince me every time. Sometimes I really want to  Pry open your head and see how many wonderful ideas you have.  "It's absolutely impossible. I still want to remain useful and make contributions to the Han family."  "The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they had regained the tacit understanding between monarch and minister two years ago. Liu Che was persuaded and allowed Cao Shi to explain his point of view. The expedition to South Vietnam had been planned long ago as an alternative.  First, Liu Che knew the layout of the plan very well. He was more interested in the political purpose and role behind it. The emperor was a Chu native. At least the royal family surnamed Liu always raised their children as Chu natives. Liu Che himself was proficient in Chu language and food.  The habits are generally retained. However, after all, he is a northern emperor living in Guanzhong. From birth to now, he has only been to Luoyang. He was not old enough when he was crowned king. He was cultivated in a purely northern educational environment.  The emperor who came out had only limited understanding of the South from books, or the words of his teachers revealed that the emperor himself was very unfamiliar with the South. He didn't know much about the customs and environment of South Vietnam, and he didn't know what the political situation of South Vietnam was.  Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know how much land in South Vietnam was waiting to be developed. He was unfamiliar with everything and relied on Cao Shi¡¯s introduction. ¡°Three-cropping rice seeds are not easy to carry, and the water and soil in the north cannot support rice cultivation. Fortunately, the results will be seen soon. Last year¡¯s harvest.  The large-scale promotion of three-crop rice is just the beginning, and it is expected to be basically effective next year. South Vietnamese people are still very unfamiliar with farming technology, and they need to be cultivated bit by bit to develop good planting habits.  " "You told me that South Vietnam has rice harvested in three seasons every year, with an annual output of more than seven stones per mu. Are you sure you didn't lie to me?  " "You don't dare to joke. Now this year's summer harvest has begun. Your Majesty can subscribe to the grain income for three months this spring. The yield income minus the cultivated land area is the actual grain production per mu.  " "Well, I heard what you said was amazing and very curious. I will read the tax report of South Vietnam immediately.  " When he walked out of the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, Cao Cai was surprised to find that his clothes were soaked with sweat. Liu Che's suspicion and autonomy were beyond imagination. His personality changed so much that he almost didn't recognize him. Liu Che became more and more like the one in history.  Which willful emperor will become even more powerful in the future? After understanding the elegance of the emperor for a long time, he was still worried when he walked out of the palace and stepped on the carriage. Will it be that simple to persuade the emperor in the future?  What happened was that Wei Qihou Dou Ying and Wu'an Hou Tianfu were promoted and suddenly jumped to the throne of the three princes. Dou Ying became the prime minister to replace Bai Zhihou Xuchang, who was exempted from illness. In order to arrange for Wu'an Hou to re-appoint the Taiwei who had been vacant for more than ten years  For Tian Fu, the two of them are closely related to each other. Among the meritorious officials, only Zhang Ou, the imperial censor, was in the middle and acted as a yes man. The emergence of Da Nong Ling Wang Xin and Ting Wei Tian Sheng further changed the situation.  In the balance of power situation in Tang Dynasty, the foreign ministers and Enzechen occupied most of the seats of the three ministers and the nine ministers. The political status of the meritorious princes has declined. Cao Shitai understood Liu Che's character. It is undeniable that the shadow of the queen mother is looming in the high-ranking officials of the Tianwang family.  Intervening, but it would be naive to think that the emperor was controlled by the Queen Mother. The young emperorThe defeated empress dowager Dou Yifang has monopolized power. This is the best time in his life. The young emperor does not need to care about anyone's eyes, not even his mother, the empress dowager Wang Nuan.  The situation in the court was dark and unclear. Some people went to praise Dou Ying and Tian Fu, while others went to burn the cold stoves of Liehou. Cao Shi's sudden return to Chang'an added another variable.  Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds in the distance opened a gap, and the light split the dark clouds and illuminated the earth. Everyone was shocked by this beautiful scenery.  Cao Shi sighed: "It seems that the situation in the capital is no easier than in South Vietnam!"
