With the end of the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, the suffering of the Tang Dynasty seems to have passed, and it has directly stepped into the stage of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

Salt shortage?

With [Tiangongmen] to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in Sichuan and Shu Zigong, Shanxi Yuncheng, Jiangxi Yancheng.

Several salt-producing areas have upgraded their salt-making technology, which has basically met the demand for salt from the people of Datang.

Not to mention that in the territory of the Turkic steppe, that is, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shanxi and other regions in the northwest of China in later times, many large salt mines were discovered.

In particular, the Zarhan Salt Pond in the Qaidam Basin produces more than 30 million people in the Tang Dynasty, which is enough for the 7.5 billion people in the world to eat as much salt as they want to eat for thousands of years.

Food shortage? The food shortage has escalated into a food disaster!

With the development of the Hetao area by [Shennongmen], as well as parts of the Turkic steppe.

Using various large-scale steam agricultural machinery technologies to carry out large-scale and large-scale farming, Li Shimin has already begun to worry, how can he finish eating this large amount of grain?

The so-called problem of "cheap grain hurting peasants" is a problem that only arises on the premise that the people rely on the fields for survival.

In the case that [Shennongmen] has a huge source of food, which is enough to meet the needs of the people of the whole Tang Dynasty.

The grain harvested by the common people in a year's crops may not be as much as the grain they can earn by working for a few days in various industries under the [Wujimen]...... That is still a hairy field?

A strong laborer works in the industry under the [Wuji Gate], and the food earned back is enough for a family to drink well and have a surplus, and if you have the opportunity, you can even learn some crafts, so why bother facing the loess all year round, and the tired black sweat can't fill your stomach?

When the price of grain is the grain company established by [Shennongmen], a large amount of cheap and high-quality grain is dumped.

When the "one money and one bucket" that everyone can eat is suppressed, it is the wealthy families and millennium gate valves who have annexed a large amount of land that feel hurt.

Because the land on which they depended had become a cheap wealth, they could no longer rely on the land in their hands to exploit the untouchable tenants.

To be precise, the various traditional means of wealth accumulation that they originally possessed have lost their effectiveness, and those ordinary people no longer depend on them for their survival, and a large number of people have flowed from the land to the entire [Wujimen] system.

And there are no people to exploit, no matter how much land the family masters hold in their names, they can still plant it themselves?

And losing the traditional means of accumulating money, the family gate valve almost fell into a desperate situation.

Needless to say, the grain and salt stacks that were originally operated, even the iron, cloth and other resources that only the wealthy were qualified to master.

They are also unable to sell because of the products of the steel company operated by [Tiangongmen] and the clothing company operated by [Nishangmen].

Products whose quality and output cannot meet the market demand will naturally be eliminated by the market...... People can sell better things for less money, so why should they buy these inferior pig iron and coarse cloth in their hands?

Originally, some people who were still proud of themselves suddenly discovered that they were still noble and proud of the family.

Their thousand-year-old families have unknowingly fallen into a dilemma.

Even the knowledge they had monopolized for millennia seemed to be becoming extremely cheap and useless.

The Tang Dynasty no longer relied on them, the Guanlong Group, which monopolized knowledge, to provide talents, and was virtually marginalized by the entire Tang Empire, becoming a group of dispensable people who ate and waited for death.

The well-off world of Datong, which originally only existed in the holy words and holy words of the ancient sages, seems to be gradually realized in Datang!

A large number of Wuji Kindergarten, Wuji Primary School, Wuji Middle School, Wuji High School, Wuji University, Wuji Taixue, as well as Tiangong Technical Schools specializing in learning various construction methods and crafts have been established like mushrooms after a rain.

Even the social welfare system such as nursing homes and disability homes is gradually improving.

Once the whole system is formed, these original "people" will be completely excluded and isolated by the entire Datang society.

As a result, there are only two choices left in front of the family gate: either reverse or move!

But no matter which choice is made, it will not end too well for them.

Flip the table to make him Li Tang's anti?

In today's situation where both water and land transportation extend in all directions, the counterinsurgency army is enough to arrive in an instant, who dares to rebel?

As for letting them give up their thousand-year-old family business and migrate to a wild place outside the Tang Dynasty to start over, how can they be willing to be used to fine clothes and food?

Since you can't resist hard, you can only bow down.

In addition to the five surnames and seven hopes, a large number of small and medium-sized wealthy families were the first to be unable to withstand it.

It is not bigger than their family's great business and can hold on for a while longer, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain!

If they don't grow their own food, they have to pay for the grain of Shennong Grain to eat, but if they have no income, they can only use their family savings to sell, and over time, the so-called family will naturally decline.

In order not to be excluded and isolated by the Tang society, they can only choose to integrate themselves into it and be assimilated under this great change that has not been seen for thousands of years, which is their only way out.

Just when Li Shimin was full of ambition for this prosperous image of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Yuqi was distressed by the lack of population in the Tang Dynasty.

30 million people, only 30 million people!

Although through the persuasion of fugitives, the extermination of bandits, and the plundering of the Turkic population, the population base of the Tang Dynasty doubled.

But for Datang, which is entering a big explosive development, such a small population is still too scarce, and it is not enough there.

It takes a lot of people to build a land and water transportation network, right?

Paving roads, building bridges, dredging rivers, and building embankments...... These huge projects, which one is not a project that can only be realized by years of manpower investment in Yugong moving mountains?

And in order to supply the needs of road construction, a large number of lime kilns and cement plants need a huge amount of manpower, right?

And in order to support the operation of lime kilns and cement plants, a large number of coal mines, iron mines, steel mills, etc. also need huge manpower, right?

And in order to manufacture all kinds of advanced heavenly equipment, a large number of workers are also needed, right?

And in order to feed the population of the whole Datang, even if there are advanced agricultural equipment to replace manpower, a large number of agricultural personnel are needed to complete the work that equipment cannot replace, right?
