"Integrate these policies as a whole, and then ask local people to go to some mountains and ask some people living in the mountains if they are willing to move out, and then move some areas where cultivated land is in short supply and where the local soil and water yield is not high. Tell all the people to prepare to move to Jiuyuan and other Houtao areas."
"I have sent people to investigate those places. The Houtao area is vast and is very suitable for farming. If you are willing to move to the local area, our court will take care of the food during the migration! When they get to the local area, the court can lend them food. Let them have no problems at least for one year that year, and the court is willing to lend them Quyuan plows, pack horses and other agricultural tools and animal power! And for people who are willing to move, the Yongye field will be increased to 50 acres after going to the local area." Li Ke said directly .
"Your Highness...has this matter been discussed in court?" Huangfulin next to him couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't everyone here?" Li Ke looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, Huo Gang, go get on the boat and move some chairs down. Everyone can sit here, and move a table for the historians next to you." Li Ke Ke saw that they were a little tired, so he spoke directly.
Li Shimin was a little speechless. Good guy, you will be working as soon as you get off the ship, right? But he was very pleased. This kid was caught in the trap. Tsk tsk, it’s right to work so hard. If you work so hard, all the officials in the court will support you in the future.
Of course, it couldn't really be a coincidence that Li Chengqian ran to Lingnan Road. Li Chengqian discussed it with Li Shimin and determined that Li Chengqian really didn't want to inherit this position, or that Li Chengqian felt that he couldn't keep up with the development of the Tang Dynasty. After that, Li Shimin had a big relationship with himself. My son had a heart-to-heart talk several times.
The main content of the conversation was how to find a way to let Li Ke assume this position, but this matter cannot be rushed. As for the ministers, Li Shimin was not in a hurry at all. Just as he said, Li Chengqian's method is very good, just use the prime minister system. Tell the ministers that this is what Li Ke wants. Only when Li Ke takes office can he continue to promote it, otherwise the current situation will be maintained.
Do you believe that these ministers can change their families faster than anyone else? Especially when Li Chengqian himself doesn't want to be the emperor, that's even more okay.
Li Shimin has already been angry with several major ministers. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Shiji, and Li Jing are now informed.
Li Shimin even asked Li Chengqian to discuss it with them.
Changsun Wuji is theoretically the first minister based on his current status, but because of his status, Li Shimin did not tell him for the time being.
Today's situation was not discussed by Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling. They deliberately asked these ministers to ask Li Ke's words, and then asked him to stir up the atmosphere. Good guy, this kid got into the act faster than anyone else.
Yes, yes, your strategy is not wrong.
Huo Gang quickly moved many chairs off the boat, and this unique meeting...oh, no court meeting was held on the Weihe pier.
After everyone sat down, many people looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin waved his hand naturally: "The question was raised by Li Ke. You discuss it with Li Ke first, and I will just listen. If it can be implemented by then, I’ll just write an imperial edict here.”
Lao Li has now mastered the essence of fishing. I said I would listen, but I didn't say I wouldn't listen. None of you can say it's wrong, right? Even Wei Zheng can't criticize me.
And, what is my name? I just listen to advice and accept the opinions of many people in the world. You have to praise me.
"Yes." All the ministers saluted naturally.
"As I just said, do you have any opinions? If you have any opinions, you can put them forward. Huangfulin, please tell me." Li Ke said simply.
"Your Highness, I mainly have doubts about the amount of Yongye Field. As the old saying goes, don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality. If these places are given 50 acres of Yongye Field, will the people in other areas of the Tang Dynasty be worried about it? Do you have any ideas?" Huangfulin said.
"This is nothing. This is a welfare condition for the people to move. In this way, the people in these roads can tell them that if they are willing to move, they can be given 50 acres of Yongye land. In addition, in the local area, the farmland will be returned to After returning to forests, fruit trees can be cultivated according to the imperial court's regulations, or other valuable trees, such as Eucommia ulmoides, can also be planted on a large scale. These fields converted from farmland to forests are tax-free, and the local Yongye fields can also be upgraded to 30 acres." Li Ke said.
"Can the tax revenue be sustained?" Huangfulin was a little panicked. You said that all departments are asking me for money. The problem is that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and I don't have any money.
"Remember what I just said? The commercial tax revenue of one Lingnan Road is almost more than 2 million yuan a year. Of course, this is because Lingnan Road leads to Yihai Road. There are a lot of businesses. Other roads may not have so many, but the same is true for all roads in the world. There are also many prosperous ones. One million guan on average among the ten realms in the world must not be a problem, right? The amount of tax exemption is just a drizzle."
"What's more, I can tell you that just for my trip this time, Datang Shipping Company can pay taxes of 3.48 million guan! The total tax paid in total is more than 5 million guan." Li Ke said, "So don't talk about exempting the part. Agricultural taxes, even if these two agricultural taxes are exempted, it won’t be a problem.”
"There are also areas such as Jiuyuan in the back, and behind it is the Yinshan Mountains. If there are a lot of people migrating here and a fixed agricultural reclamation area is formed, I will let people start building cities here. After building about seven or eight cities, we will cooperate with The garrison in the Yinshan Mountains will further control the territory of the Tang Dynasty and effectively curb the current Xue Yantuo." Li Ke pointed at the map.
That is the hometown of Li Ke's descendants. There is no problem in supporting at least hundreds of thousands of people in that area. Li Ke has already had people investigate. There have been many nomadic peoples in these places since the Han Dynasty, and they have also become the center of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is also possible to change the holy land for horse breeding into a farming area.
Part of the land can continue to be maintained as pasture without any impact. It is also simple to build some border cities in the Yinshan Mountains and other passes, and then be prepared for subsequent control of the Mongolian grasslands and Lake Baikal.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the battle of Xue Yantuo in the 17th year of Zhenguan in history, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will expand to the vicinity of Lake Baikal. The follow-up preparations must be done well, not to mention the Mongolian Plateau during this period. Unlike in Mongolia in later generations, overgrazing resulted in desertification of the land, and it is still pasture.
When it comes to military strategy, Huangfulin won't say much, because it is a matter that can be dealt with in one fell swoop.
Chu Suiliang, who was next to him, took up a pen and wrote a line on the front of the paper: King Qin returned with great honors, and the strategy was decided at the Weihe Wharf.
