On the day of Xiao Wang's funeral, Li Jun not only took Xungui to the funeral in person, but also personally supported the coffin, the two marquis laughed a few words during the funeral, and were severely reprimanded by Li Jun, and then the next day, Jinyiwei and the people from the Criminal Department came to arrest people, and the crime was still premeditated rebellion.

From this incident, everyone can see Xiao Wangzhi's status in Li Jun's heart, for the sake of his teacher's peace of mind, Li Jun did not hesitate to use the two Hou Ye as teachers to be martyred.

Xiao Wangzhi's death caused the Tang Dynasty to be quiet throughout the New Year, originally the first month was the most banquets, but in the first year of Zhenguan, everyone was closed, and the restaurants and green buildings in the entire capital lost a lot.

On the second day of February, Li Jun finally organized the first great court meeting in the first year of Zhenguan, this time the court meeting was very full of people, and everyone could see that when the son was angry today, he must not anger the Son of Heaven at this time, otherwise the two marquis would be a lesson from the past.

Li Jun looked at the ministers in front of him and said lightly: "The old prime minister passed away, my heart is very painful, at this juncture, you and I must be united to comfort the old prime minister's soul in the sky." ”

"No, the minister obeys."

Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you Aiqing understand me, and I will never let down your Aiqing, He Shen, declare the decree." ”

He Shen opened the decree and read it, the first decree of the Zhenguan period has two main meanings, the first is to strengthen the rights of the cabinet and the military aircraft department again, if the emperor is not there, the cabinet and the military aircraft department can discuss and decide state affairs.

The second thing is to encourage childbearing, if the newlyweds do not have children after five years of marriage, the male will be punished with hard labor, and cannot have more than two children, then the annual tax will be doubled, and he will not be allowed to enjoy many of the benefits of the imperial court to the poor, including land grants, fake fields, and fake taxes. Couples who have three children can receive a one-year exemption from land tax and oral contributions.

Those who have given birth to four children can be exempted from taxes and forced labor for two years, and can be given priority to the opportunity to be granted land by the imperial court and fake land.

Couples who have given birth to five children can enjoy three years of exemption from forced labor and taxes, and they can also migrate to Guanzhong, and those who already live in Guanzhong can receive a reward of 5,000 yuan.

In order to encourage childbirth, this time Li Jun did not use verbal praise or fake big empty to fool people, but took out real money.

In this era, what is the most important thing, is the population, without you, you will have no source of soldiers, let alone the rest, the reason why Li Jun did this, in fact, is to prepare for future colonization, Li Jun also learned through some merchants in the Western Regions that now in the West, except for a one called the Germanic Empire, which is still strong, the rest of the countries are still in the stage of drinking blood, with such good conditions, it would be too stupid not to cherish it.

Li Jun didn't sleep all night last night, if he only wanted to defeat Beijin and Beiliao, then he would be too embarrassed to be a traverser, the empire he wanted to build was a super empire with Kyushu as the core and colonies and client states outside.

Unlike other countries, this country is centered on cultural identity and tributary system, so population is the right to speak, and there are not so many people, even if you have a large territory, it will be useless.

In the future, Li Jun will move all the fiefdoms and fiefdoms in the empire to the border, and only realize the county system in the empire.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Jun proposed the policy of encouraging childbirth at the first court meeting of the Yuan reform.

Although Li Jun's holy decree is surprising, everyone immediately expressed a warm welcome, the reason is very simple, because the most benefited from this holy decree are these people here, in this era of very scarce medical resources, ordinary people, the lowest class of society, let alone give birth to four or five, can raise two children, it is already Amitabha Buddha thankful,?? Only the landlord class had the spare energy to raise more children.

Li Jun roughly estimated that in just fifty years, the people of Datang will exceed 100 million, what is the concept of 100 million people, with the current resources of Datang, it is absolutely impossible to feed, so Li Jun only has two ways to go, the first way is to use iron and fire to help future generations lay down a big territory, and the second is to wait for the Tang Dynasty to perish.

If there is not enough land, according to the tradition of the common people of the Tang Dynasty, they will not wait for death at home, and when the time comes, a cat and a dog will stand up casually and shout "Princes and generals, rather have a kind of", maybe the Tang Dynasty will collapse in the vigorous peasant uprising.

The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? This is the truest portrayal of the peasants of our country since ancient times.

The most important thing is that in this era, population is a resource, as long as Li Jun has enough land to feed these newborns, coupled with the militia system, the mobilization of any region can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops at that time, from this point of view, in the event of a war, it is estimated that there is no need for national mobilization, and it is no problem for a county to destroy a country.

After Li Jun dispersed, he went to the high platform of Beique, and Li Jun muttered to himself: "This is probably the ancient version of the population forced war, right?" ”

Although he has formulated such a grand plan, it is still unknown how much can be accomplished, after all, in this era, diseases are rampant, and some infectious diseases are even more numerous, and last year alone, there were large-scale epidemics in three counties, with about 100,000 deaths and injuries.

And there is also a tradition of drowning babies in this era, just like the last time Li Jun saw him in Zhou Yizhen, a small Lizheng, in the past five years, has killed hundreds of babies, especially female babies, so now it is generally more men and fewer women, Li Jun in order not to make the Tang Dynasty a single country in the future, he also needs to keep fighting, because in this way he can grab women.

No matter how bad a foreign woman is, she is also a woman, as for the bloodline, in addition to the family who cares, who cares about ordinary people, it would be good to be able to get a wife this year, beauty and ugliness, bloodline and everything are in the back row, and if you want to talk about the first destruction of the bloodline in the Tang Dynasty, it is none other than Li Jun, Li Jun has two wives, one is a Korean, and the other is a Beijin person.

At this time, He Shen secretly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liao asks to see you." ”

"What's wrong? She has just come out of confinement, what is she looking for? "Li Jun doesn't like to be disturbed the most when he thinks about things.

He Shen immediately shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't know. ”

"Hmph, bring her up." Li Jun snorted coldly.

Soon Jin Shan'er came to Li Jun's face, Jin Shan'er came to Li Jun this time to ask for an official for Gao Pei, although Li Jun was dissatisfied, he still said with a smile on his face: "Okay, you go and ask Gao Pei, where do you want to be an official?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kim Sun-a replied happily.

After Kim Suna left, Li Jun snorted coldly and walked away, in fact, Li Jun was very disgusted with this kind of thing, but now Kim Suna will be of great use to Li Jun's control of Goryeo in the future, so Li Jun had to endure it and agreed to Kim Suna's request.
