His Majesty wants to choose a horse for the eldest princess, and when the news comes out, not to mention those high-ranking officials and nobles who are ready to move, even if they are some big businessmen, they are also ready to move.

The big businessmen in these years have some backgrounds, such as the Zhongshan Zhang family, who became the largest animal husbandry king in the Han Dynasty, the Zhongshan Zhen family, the largest grain merchant, and the Zhongshan Su family, which has the largest smelting workshop.

In the second column, there was the Zou family, which monopolized the livestock trade in the northwest; There is the newly rising tea merchant Mi Shi; There is a monopoly on the grain industry in Jiangdong, Wu County Gu's; Fufeng Ma, which began to monopolize the transportation industry in the northwest; As well as the rise of foreign armies, monopolizing the transportation industry in Shanxi Province and Zhili Province is Hanoi Zhang. These families all have children who are officials in the court, and many of them are high-ranking officials!

At the same time, the Zhang family, the Zhen family and the Su family have the deepest relationship with His Majesty and have the closest relationship.

Zhang Shiping of the Zhang family is already a household servant; Su Shuang of the Su family is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; The achievements of the Zhen family are not big, but the two daughters of the subject family are His Majesty's concubines.

Seeing that the third and fourth daughters, as well as the youngest daughter, are also slowly growing up, the Zhang family can't wait to send them all to the palace.

It's a pity that this time the horse is still in the horse, and Zhen estimates that he can't count on it. There is no suitable person for the younger generation, and the previous generation is at the level of an uncle, so it can't be said that it is close to each other, and let someone at the level of uncle marry his niece?

Even if there are no concerns about this aspect in terms of blood, Liu Tao feels that this is not okay.

Ren Hongchang also passed Liu Qiong in private, does she have any favorite boys, the first suspect is of course those classmates who go to school together, this is her closest boy. It's just that Liu Qiong said that she can't look down on those little kids...... Well, the daughter of Liu Tao's family is a little precocious.

If you can't look down on those of the same age, then naturally you are young officials who have already become prominent and have not yet been married...... Have it?

Most of the children of the basic family are already married, and maybe the sons are three or five years old. Let's just say that this guy Xun Yu is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and his sons are already six or seven years old.

In history, his eldest son Xun Yun was born in 193 AD, and the world took refuge in him early, and he settled early, and the child was born three or four years earlier than in history. When the second batch of children entered the school, Xun Yun could also be enrolled as a classmate.

However, Liu Qiong has such a statement, so naturally she has a favorite object. Liu Tao asked Ren Hongchang to pay attention to it, and also asked Jinyiwei's help to pay attention to it, Liu Tao still remembered Yang Jie's reluctant expression and had to accept the order.

Liu Tao cares about Liu Qiong's side, but he cares more about the affairs of the Western Regions.

Cao Cao's conquest of the Western Regions, the first thing he did was to disperse the citizens of various countries and migrate half of the people to live in the territory of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, apply to Liu Tao to allocate some students and some teaching books to the past, and it is best to arrange immigrants of about 3 to 5,000 people.

"The climate in the Western Regions, and there is no arable land, how many people can be migrated......" Liu Tao was really embarrassed. Unlike other places, trees and grass are planted in large quantities to make the air as humid as possible.

Later generations have done a very good job, and it took countless efforts to improve the green area. If we want to green and maintain water and soil, then we can't expand the area of cultivated land, and this must be limited.

What can be developed is the specialty industry, such as dates, grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon and walnuts. Ha, plus some wheat to make maltose, you can make cakes.

The biggest problem is that the variety of these things is not rich enough these days. In terms of taste, it is naturally not as good as the varieties that have been improved by agronomists from generation to generation.

Liu Tao still remembers the big watermelon he ate in the first 20 years, which was big but not sweet. Later, the black beauties came up and directly killed those big watermelons in seconds, and the big watermelons that were common at every turn of five or six catties or ten catties were gradually disappeared from the market.

"Several rivers in the Western Regions still have high water flows, and some oases actually support three or four million people." Jian Yong swept the information of the Western Regions, "The biggest problem now is that General Zhenxi migrated 300,000 people to the territory of the Han Dynasty in one go, and how to settle them is the key, after all, Wuhuan is also settling down." ”

The Han Dynasty's finances are quite loose, but the migration of millions of people in one go requires more than just financial resources.

After a pause, he proposed, "Why don't you move some of the Wuhuan people over?" ”

Anyway, it's all about migration, or it's going to be comprehensive, and you can save a lot of settling costs.

"What we need is for them to be integrated, which means that they need to recognize the Han civilization and integrate into it. It doesn't make much sense to put two forces that didn't originally belong to the Han civilization together. Liu Tao shook his head.

Originally, it was the lack of officials and finances that constrained his development, but now the officials and finances are beginning to be full. As a result, the key to restricting the development of the Han Dynasty has become the population.

At this time, he would rather his golden finger not be a magic tower, but a system similar to the Age of Empires, where you can brush people by throwing food into it.

With the current grain production in China, millions of people come out before dawn, even if they are not armed, as long as these people are not afraid of death and are absolutely loyal to themselves, then relying on the strategy of the peasant sea to feed the war with war, the world will be directly conquered in less than a year.

And then continue to develop, continue to brush the population, so that all the way to the past, the world is so big, who is his opponent? It's just that it can't be set like this, otherwise it's estimated that it will be less than 300,000 words, and it's almost finished.

"Western Regions...... It seems that this is about the end of it. Liu Tao sighed, "For the time being, there is no way to continue westward, so I can only send people to explore, but I can't continue to use troops." Cao Cao's side, just temporarily guard in the Western Regions, wait a year or two to see the situation, and then talk about it! ”

After weighing it for a while, he tried to propose: "Do you want to encourage the Han people to have children?" For example, if you give birth to three, the court will help raise them, or the court will give you a subsidy or something. ”

"The local government has been encouraging, but to a different extent." Jian Yong replied helplessly.

They all know that His Majesty cares about the population of the Han Dynasty, so the officials vaguely take the new local population as the assessment standard. Local officials are also looking for ways to increase the number of new people.

But even if you are born and want to live independently, you can't do it without fifteen years. Fortunately, there are people in Dahan who reach adulthood every year, and the number is about 100,000, but there are also people who die of old age or illness, and birth, old age, sickness and death are irreversible.

According to Zhang Shiping's statistics, the population growth in various places is relatively stable, that is, the population growth in Zhili Province is the fastest, but most of the questions are from high-ranking officials and noble families, and it is basically impossible for them to go to the Western Regions to suffer.

However, according to the current growth rate, there will be a population explosion in ten years, mainly the adult population, and the new adult population will be as high as one million in a whole year.

"Ten years......" Liu Tao sighed silently, it was really something to wait.
