Li Shimin asked for so much grain, and sure enough, there was a big move, and after Sun Dali poured a large mouthful of mung bean soup on the ridge to relieve the heat, he said, "Inquire clearly, the grain collected by us here will be transported to the Wuzhou side." ”

"Wazhou?"

"Yes, General Hongshen has cleaned up the entire island in the east, gathered all the uncivilized people to several major mining areas in Wazhou, and won 800,000 people, and since this year, not a single acre of grain has been planted in the entire territory of Wazhou Island."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was stunned, no need for Sun Dali to continue to say, Sun Xiangfu also knew what Li Shimin and Zhang Gongjin were going to do over there, their move was really ruthless, not to let all the indigenous people of the original Japanese country farm, then, they must rely on the food of the Tang Dynasty to survive, and these indigenous people who were concentrated by Zhang Gongjin, needless to say, must all be used as miners to develop gold and silver minerals in the territory of the original Japanese country for the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of them were transported to the country.

This kind of desperate means of starving food is not to give them any chance to rebel, because, there is no grain planting, there are no ships to go to sea, if they dare to act rashly, then, first of all, more than half of the people will starve to death, as long as the Tang Dynasty can continue to supply food, then the control of Wazhou is almost absolute.

However, on the other side of Guangwei Prefecture, no matter how you calculate it, it has a population of less than one million, and it can't consume 20 million stone of grain in a year! 800,000 people, even if they eat three meals a day, the average person consumes only three or four catties of rice, one stone a month, a year, more than nine million stones is enough, after all, among these people, there are not many strong men who can consume three or four catties of rice a day, in fact, maybe seven or eight million stone of rice, enough for them to eat for a year.

"Even so, the imperial court shouldn't send out 20 million stone grain from us a year! You must know that Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Road, and the three counties of Jiaozhi, the grain produced in each place is not less than ours here. Sun Xiangfu said in surprise.

"Listening to the tone of the escort officer, the grain shipped out here should not only be for Wazhou, but the output of the next season may be for Yizhou, Ryukyu, Luzon, and over there, and the grain from Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Road, and Jiaozhi is likely to be sent to Tianzhu." Sun Dali said again.

"Send it to Tianzhu?"

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he immediately guessed what was going on.

Since Li Shimin thought of using grain to control Wazhou, then he must have thought of using grain to control Ryukyu, Yizhou, and Luzon. Because there are a lot of natives on these islands, they are now, just through the period of Ru Mao drinking blood, into the era of tribal management, there are white flowers, rice, the court is easy to deal with them, if all their labor force is transferred out to build docks, cities, roads, then, will greatly speed up the development of these large islands.

For example, Yizhou Island, there are nearly 200,000 indigenous people, and many tribes, in the Three Kingdoms period, began to sinicize, able to communicate with the Central Plains people, trade, since the Lingnan side began to expand overseas, the Tang Navy departments were also established, the Quanzhou Navy has organized the indigenous people on Yizhou Island, in Yizhou Island and some surrounding islands to build seven or eight harbor wharves, but also built several cities, is currently divided into five counties by the imperial court.

Because the government did not set any taxes for the indigenous people, but also brought medical care, education, and more advanced production and living tools to the local people, very much supported by the tribal people, has begun to have a large number of tribal people moved to live in clean and tidy cities, these cities, also began to produce a certain amount of commercial taxes, and even, because the local abundance of various fruits, there have been people on the dried fruit workshop, and sugar, salt workshop, the future will definitely get better and better.

The same is true of Luzon, Feng An's people have already packed up some local tribal leaders as early as a few years ago, and later, when Zhao Long went to clean up the remnants of Wang Hao's forces, he showed the strength of the Tang Dynasty in front of all the natives, plus the imperial court's policy to the local people is comparable to that of Yizhou Island, therefore, more than 100,000 natives on the island are now firmly controlled by several official offices set up by the imperial court, and they are also organized to build several docks and cities, after that, There will be more facilities on the island to provide supplies and various repair services for Datang's fleet to go to sea.

Using food and daily necessities as a means to win the hearts of the local people and drive them to labor is quite passable, but tens of millions of stone grains are sent to Tianzhu, and this action is too big.

10 million stone of grain can be eaten by at least one million people for a year, and the grain that can be sold to the outside world in Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Province, and Jiaozhi County is definitely more than 50 million stones, and Li Shimin wants to feed 5 million people in Tianzhu? You know, this was almost one-fifth of the population of the entire Indian region at this time.

But this is the case, from the end of the Dingxiang Movement Conference, the King of the Ring Sun launched a war to unify the Indian region, the scale of which is no less than the war in the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin's people in the Kingdom of Vaanaby took over nearly 50,000 multi-nation joint miscellaneous troops, these people are not idle there, after being preliminarily trained, although they did not participate in this multinational war, but under the command of the secret guard generals, they continue to gather the local people who are hiding from the war.

You must know that the people in this place, who are already poor in their usual lives, can actually eat two meals of white rice a day after being taken in by the Tang Army, don't enjoy it too much.

As soon as the news spread throughout the war-torn region, it became out of control, and the poor people who could not eat, or whose lives were threatened by the war, flocked to the kingdom of Vaanaby, and the population soon exceeded one million, then two million, and even more.

The secret guard generals hurriedly complained to Lingnan, Feng Ang immediately transferred the grain over, and then, Li Shimin sent Liu Hongji to preside over the overall situation, because Feng Ang was in the rescue of the Vanaby Kingdom before, their king had already declared himself a minister to the Tang Dynasty, so after Liu Hongji arrived in the local area, he directly took over the military and political power, and now, Liu Hongji played the chapter of setting up state roads in the coastal control area of India, which has been sent to Chang'an.

This is a major event that can add a new territory of more than 3,000 miles and a population of more than 5 million to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it won't be long before Sun Xiangfu will receive the news, because many ministers of the DPRK and China have maintained correspondence with Sun Xiangfu, and Li Shimin will definitely tell the world about such a big thing.

Liu Hongji can now be said to be the busiest person in the entire Tang Dynasty, more than 5 million, the sects of faith are different, the countries are different, the language is mixed like refugees, the people are not easy to manage, plus the original garrison of the Vaanaby Kingdom, and the 20,000 Tang Navy he brought over, as well as the 50,000 miscellaneous troops that have been trained for half a year, a total of more than 100,000 troops, he can only reluctantly settle the people and maintain law and order, and he has no spare strength to participate in the unification war of the King of the Sun.

And their current state has been regarded as a piece of fat by the two major forces in the north and south of India, and whoever becomes the ultimate victor will come to eat this piece of fat, and this may also be the prelude to Li Shimin's unification of the Eurasian continent.

After analyzing these things clearly, Sun Xiangfu can only grow food more seriously, because, his current state can't control these major events in the world, so he can only find a way to push it in a good direction.

After Sun Xiangfu was stunned for a while, Sun Dali said again, "That, there is another matter, I have to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The imperial court will come to pull grain next season, and it may not pay cash."

Why is that? There are millions of overseas miners who provide gold and silver for Datang, and the imperial court has a lot of income, so it won't be hundreds of thousands of yuan! ”

Sun Dali replied, "Money, the court is naturally not bad, but the court has other purposes, that is, to reassure the people, so when the time comes, it will be compensated by labor." ”

"What do you mean? The imperial court is going to move those Indians to Shannan Province? Sun Xiangfu said with some surprise.

"There are so many fields that can be developed here, and the output is so high, it is strange that Your Majesty is not thinking about it." Sun Dali said helplessly.

Although laborers may contribute more economic value to Jiuyuan County, there is no real money in the end.

It was Sun Xiangfu who was stunned for a moment before he said, "This may be more realistic, but you have to notify the counties and do a good job of the people's ideological work in advance." ”

The inflow of a large amount of gold and silver will lead to a certain degree of depreciation, but the labor force is a real thing, which will never depreciate, these relocated laborers must be young and strong, after working in the local area for a few years, and then resettled, they can directly as skilled farmers, for the imperial court to produce grain, Li Shimin's abacus, can not be said to be sound.

"That's okay, I'll arrange it, by the way, I heard the news from the counties next door, their rice planting in the next season this year is not bad, if it is a bumper harvest, I will definitely come to thank you, after the autumn harvest, our Jiuyuan County may be more lively."

"Oh, just want to listen to me a few more lectures, I will fight for the learning stage of their counties, targeted for a period of time, by the way, in a few days, I will let people send you some drawings, is about the county to build those high-rise buildings design drawings, and some new residential design drawings, and so Zhang Chun sent over the engineering team in place, you to promote among the people, I think, like the people here in the No. 1 courtyard, the family population is large, the original brick bungalow, is no longer enough to live, should be built bigger, It's time for a more comfortable building, and everyone now has the financial resources to do so. ”

"Gotcha! When I turned around, I destroyed Zhang Chun and hurriedly sent people, but I couldn't be a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Industry, so I forgot about our old brothers. ”

The construction of buildings can not only improve the comfort of living, but also save a lot of land space, with the current average of more than three children per household on the side of the No. 1 courtyard, and the current situation is still increasing, the original four-room houses will soon be not enough to live, if you don't find a way to solve it in advance, then the people will use their own methods to solve it, and there may be a phenomenon of indiscriminate land use.

Of course, the reason why Sun Xiangfu wants to promote these things is to set up some new goals for the people who are not long-term, lest they become more and more lazy when they are rich, and the new countryside in the future generations will not be able to build a clean and tidy building to live in.
