Chapter 574 Qin Huaidao continued to go to the construction site to build the palace in the afternoon, and underground, Qin Huaidao used hundreds of tons of steel bars and a large amount of cement, hoping that the foundation would be strong.

Every day, Qin Huaidao has to go to the construction site to inspect, on this day, after Qin Huaidao finished inspecting the construction site, he went to the side of the Ganlu Palace.

Qin Huaidao thought, how could there be news from the front line, and I don't know what happened to Li Ji, when he arrived at the Ganlu Palace, Wang En immediately went in to report.

"Father, how is the British duke?" After Qin Huaidao entered the Manna Hall, he looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"I just received a report, the fever has subsided, and now it is recovering, Ding Renxin gave him that medicine over there, the effect is very good, yesterday afternoon, the British Duke began to go to the ground,

Today's report said that Ding Renxin needs to observe for two days, and after making sure that there is no problem, he will let Li Ji continue to attack! Li Shimin sat there and said with palpitations.

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Huaidao heard it and nodded reassuringly.

"The military academy should also hurry up, now Gao Ming is promoting that sweet potato, and the effect is not bad, the sweet potato seedlings are about to come out, right?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"It's out, my conservatory has come out, and I can plant it in a few days, and now my food is already in the field, waiting for sweet potato seedlings!" Qin Huaidao nodded and spoke.

"That's good, what about the military academy, I heard that there are also people over there who are starting to level the land now?" Li Shimin then looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Yes, now Fang Yiai is in charge of the side, and the sons asked them to level the land and dig the foundation first. Before September, it will definitely be able to be built.

Erchen hopes that this time, 500 officers below the sixth grade can be selected from the whole army, and the age is not more than 35 years old to be trained, and among them, the age is under 25 years old, and the training should be emphasized, especially this batch of martial arts people, who must also enter the military academy. Qin Huaidao suggested to Li Shimin.

"Okay, my father allowed it, as you said, there is not enough land, and there is trouble behind Datang, and in addition, the bridge will be repaired this year!

There is also the cement straight road you said, my father thought, is it better to build a straight road from Xi'an to Luoyang first, if it is easy to use, then build a straight road from the southwest to Lingnan, the south side, or need to strengthen the rule is,

In addition, it is necessary to plan a straight road from the southwest to the northwest, and a straight road from Xi'an to the north, so as to ensure that our Datang army can rush to the border area as quickly as possible! Li Shimin sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, that's a lot of money!" Qin Huaidao heard it and reminded Li Shimin.

"Cultivate slowly, don't be in a hurry, didn't you say? If you want to get rich, build roads first, if those roads are opened, the people's materials will be able to circulate quickly, and our people in Datang will become richer and richer.

Also, I asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to start counting how many people I have in Datang now? The last time the statistics were rough statistics during the Wude years, it was about 12 million people, and now, I don't know how many there are. Li Shimin then said to Qin Huaidao.

"Erchen estimates that it will not be less than 25 million, and if it is counted a few years later, it may exceed 30 million people!" Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and spoke.

"There won't be so many, right? The father estimated that it was about 15 million at most. When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Father, this time the Ministry of Civil Affairs statistics, I hope that the father needs to issue a holy decree to go down, that is, this census, will issue household registration, rich people everywhere, not allowed to hide the population privately,

Father, you know, now many people do not have household registration, they are hiding in the mountains, in addition, many rich people, in order to pay less taxes, they will hide the population of the house! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"And that kind of thing?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.

"Yes, I expect it to be no less than 25 million, and over the years, a lot of children have been born, mainly more children!" Qin Huaidao said affirmatively to Li Shimin.

"Okay, that's to be counted!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Erchen hopes to form a convention, that is, to count the population of the whole country once every ten years, so that we can know how the people below have lived in recent years." Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin again.

Qin Huaidao hoped that the court could strengthen the statistics of the population, and once every ten years was the best, Li Shimin heard it and nodded.

"Father, if the living conditions of the people are good, then the population will increase rapidly, otherwise, the population will increase slowly, and even say, there will be a decrease, and during the war years, the population will decrease very quickly.

If Datang keeps 50 years without large-scale wars, or if there is no internal war, then the population of Datang, fifty years later, may exceed 10,000, and then I Datang will have any kind of talent, and the surrounding countries will not dare to invade us.

Of course, this premise is to develop medicine, and Erchen has always hoped to invite Dr. Sun to give lectures at the university, so that more people can study medicine, so that the probability of people dying of illness will be reduced a lot.

In fact, there are still a lot of things to do in the court, the university and the military academy have been built, and the courses inside still need to be planned.

In fact, it is necessary to subdivide many disciplines again, so as to ensure that I Datang has professional talents in all aspects.

And the same is true for military schools, for example, there are commanding generals who specialize in training cavalry, commanding generals who specialize in training infantry, and there are also those who specialize in training siege warfare, defensive operations, and so on, of course, these are all training junior commanders.

And at the advanced level, such as a commander at the level of Uncle Cheng, they need comprehensive training, no matter what discipline it is, they all need to be involved! Qin Huaidao sat there and continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Well, over at the university, you have to continue to arrange, is there no one to study medicine?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"I don't learn much, I am all children of poor families, I feel that the imperial examination is hopeless, so I will learn, and my son has a proposal, I don't know if it is suitable or not." Qin Huaidao sat there and asked.

"You say!" After Li Shimin heard it, he looked at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Erchen wants to build a hospital, the hospital of the court, not the kind of hospital that goes to the pharmacy to find a doctor when you are sick, but a hospital run by the court, for example, if you are not feeling well, you can go to the hospital of the court to treat the disease.

Those who studied medicine were paid by the court to ensure their income, as long as they could devote themselves to treating the people! Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and proposed.

"Well, there aren't that many doctors." When Li Shimin heard this, he asked Qin Huaidao.

"It is precisely because there are not so many doctors that Erchen proposed this, so that many children from poor families will turn to study medicine, hoping to enter the hospital to work, so as to ensure that the people in my lobby will not get sick and fall down soon." Qin Huaidao continued to speak to Li Shimin.

"Well, in this way, you write a charter and think about it, my father knows that it is right, but the ministers may not agree!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.

"When the time comes, the ministers will convince those ministers!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said firmly,

If there is no medical guarantee, it is difficult for the population to grow rapidly, once there is any plague, there are a large number of people who die, which is why, from the Han Dynasty there are tens of millions of people, to the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years have passed, or about 10 million people, medicine does not develop, the population is not growing.

Qin Huaidao sat in the Ganlu Hall for a while, and then returned to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry has a lot to do now, Qin Huaidao also has to deal with it, and on the side of the Ministry of Officials, there are now two servants of the Ministry of Officials to help, and he can also spare a lot of time to come out and be busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

In the evening, Qin Huaidao still returned to the mansion and looked at the arrival report sent by the court.

"Master, the third old lady asks to see!" A steward said to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, please come in." Qin Huaidao stood up and said when he heard this, and after a while, the third uncle, Qin Rui, came in.

"Third uncle, why are you here, please take a seat!" Qin Huaidao beckoned the third uncle to sit down, and poured him tea at the same time.

"Peping, we have also been here for several days, these days, we have also been to Chang'an City, now I just want to ask, the house outside the city is done, if it is done, we will go over, we are not used to living here!" Qin Rui sat down and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Why don't you get used to it?" Qin Huaidao looked at Qin Rui puzzled and asked:

"Is it that the house is not well entertained, and there are maids and servants who are disrespectful to you?"

Qin Rui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, where do they dare, that is, we are not sitting and enjoying our lives, your fifth uncle and I can be said to have worked hard in the field for half a lifetime, but we know that dealing with crops, such a good life, we can enjoy it there,

Peping, I see, let's go outside the city, life here is good, but we are really not used to life, in the countryside, we are still more comfortable, when the third uncle I miss you, just go to Chang'an City to have a look. ”

After Qin Huaidao heard it, he also smiled and said, "Cheng, the third uncle said so, then I'll ask the housekeeper to see if it's done?" ”

Qin Huaidao stood up as he spoke, and when he arrived at the door, he asked the housekeeper to notify the housekeeper to come over.

After a while, the housekeeper came over and Qin Huaidao asked how the house over there was arranged.

"Master, it can be arranged today, I was thinking of reporting this matter to you, master, and now there are still a few small pieces of furniture that have not been sent over, and before dark, I will definitely be able to send it over." The housekeeper immediately handed over to Qin Huaidao and said.

"Oh, well, that's the best, we'll go tomorrow!" Qin Rui stood up happily at this moment and said.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Qin Huaidao looked at Qin Rui and asked.

"Oh, Pepin, we are not used to living here, although everything is good, but Peping, it's not that the third uncle said you, you have helped us a lot, and the rest of the things, let them break into it by themselves, they have given the land, they can't support themselves, that is, they have no ability to do it themselves." Qin Rui persuaded Qin Huaidao.

"Nacheng, then I'll personally send you over tomorrow!" When Qin Huaidao heard him insist, he could only nod in agreement, and he also knew that they were indeed not used to it.

A few nights ago, Li Lixian also told him that Qin Huaidao was better when he was at home, and when Qin Huaidao was not at home, they were very restrained.

That is, Qin Yongdao is slightly better, and the other people, if they don't go out of the house, they don't even dare to come out of the yard, and they don't go to the back garden to take a look.

"Okay, I'll go and inform them." Qin Rui said happily.

"Eh, third uncle, sit down for a while!" Qin Huaidao immediately called out to the third uncle and said.

"No, don't delay your reading, you watch, the third uncle will inform them to go and let them pack up their things." Qin Rui waved his hand at Qin Huaidao and said.
