Today, Li Chengqian's prestige in the court is no longer as simple as a teenager who studies politics, but he is an adult whose children are about to be born, and when he saw him stop in front of him and speak out, Hou Junji simply swallowed the reason he forcibly found a good reason, and above this court, anyone can choke Li Chengqian, but he, the father-in-law, cannot.

Then, the courtiers led by Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng and other ministers came out to express their approval, and analyzed the benefits of his suggestion from all aspects.

First of all, although the people in the Yuantian area of Shannan Road have reduced the planting area, but the yield has not decreased, according to the new season, the rice yield per mu in the Yuantian area is 10 stones, and a family can harvest more than 500 stone of grain in two seasons if they plant 25 acres of rice fields, and they can harvest more than 500 stone of grain in two seasons, and 60 million yuan of rice fields in Liuyuantian County, which harvests about 200 million stones of grain a year.

Moreover, if you look at the other advantages of less farming, that is, their people have more time to do other things, and there are so many big industries in Jiuyuan County, but they are all done by people in addition to farming.

These reasons are too strong, so strong that Li Shimin can't do it without nodding, so Li Shimin, who was going to discuss how to move to the west, insisted on being patient and accompanied Li Chengqian to discuss with these ministers how to farm the land.

If the reform can be implemented first and fastest somewhere, it must be Guanzhong, at the feet of the emperor! All the administrative units are complete, the officials are the most clear, and the government decrees are the most smooth, when the imperial court will adjust the arable land quota announcement, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the people, and within two days, the village leaders and lieutenants in each village began to run to the yamen to declare, and all of them asked for less land, and the result made Li Shimin and the courtiers a little dumbfounded.

Because, the method that the ministers of the court class had previously discussed was to let the people freely declare the number of fields they wanted to cultivate, and if the family had a large population and wanted to have many varieties, give them a variety of crops, and if the population was small, they could not plant enough, and if they wanted to plant less, they could also be given less seeds.

But the final result is that even in the wealthy Guanzhong, most of the people's families have ploughing cattle and enough mouths, but they are not willing to plant too much land, and even, there are many households that are not willing to plant an acre of land.

Why?

The two young people in the family can find a job in Weinan with an annual income of twenty or thirty yuan, only eight hours a day, the wind does not blow, the sun does not shine, and they can also enjoy various welfare guarantees, but because your court allocates eighty acres of Yongye land to each household, I still have to ask someone to help plant, the price of grain is so low now, the money from the sale is actually enough to give some wages to the hired helpers, eat and drink a few meals, what are you busy working for?

This is the problem that Li Chengqian saw when he was doing professional experience, he had already guessed that this was the case, Datang is developing too fast now, and the people are all going for interests, and the policy needs to change with the actual situation, and if it lags behind, it will hinder development.

The people went to the yamen one after another, asking for less farming, so that the court class, suddenly there was no other voice, the problem of the people's farming, but the big thing, must be properly handled.

Li Shimin's way of handling it was to hand it over to Li Chengqian to take charge of.

Then, taking advantage of the slack in winter, Guanzhong began to carry out large-scale redistribution of fields, directly according to the wishes of the people, and the final result was that the imperial court recovered nearly 5 million mu of land, accounting for more than one-third of the total cultivated land area in Guanzhong.

You know, after the movement to return farmland to the middle and lower fields, Guanzhong now only retains the upper fields, and these people are so proud that they don't even want to plant the upper fields?

Li Shimin, who wandered around the villages for a while, felt very depressed, once upon a time, where did the picture of the people being so happy when they got a few acres of self-cultivated land?

"Father, the people are reluctant to farm, in fact, it is a good thing, it proves that they have a better way out than farming, our Guanzhong industry and commerce are so developed, and the people are gradually turning to industry and commerce, which is an inevitable trend, you don't need to mind." Looking at Li Shimin, who was frowning sadly in the imperial study, Li Chengqian persuaded.

Now, Li Shimin, who has always been conceited, even feels that he is not as good as Li Chengqian's rhythm in people's livelihood management, what a sad and exciting thing!

"However, the middle and lower fields have been returned to farmland, and Guanzhong has already vacated more than 10 million mu of fields, and now, even the upper fields have to be vacated for 5 million mu, and these fields are left empty?"

Li Chengqian had long known that Li Shimin would feel flustered when he looked at the vacant land in Guanzhong, so he suggested, "Erchen thinks that those middle and lower fields, digging lakes to store water, and planting trees and afforestation, may not play a worse role than farming.

In addition, Shangtian naturally has to continue to be planted, and Guanzhong guarantees a certain grain output, which is good for the stability of the whole country, so the minister suggested that 300,000 people be relocated to supplement the lack of labor in Guanzhong to cultivate the fields. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, he had such worries before, as the imperial capital is located, if there is no grain production nearby, if there is a rebellion in the local area and the grain road is blocked, wouldn't Guanzhong be dangerous?

Li Chengqian was able to think of this, which really made him a little relieved, and he asked again, "Three hundred thousand?" You mean, moving from Tamma? ”

Li Chengqian nodded and replied, "Yes, there are enough skilled farmers in our pass to teach them farming, and there are enough people to influence and assimilate them, you look at the ethnic minority people who moved from the Northeast and various mountainous areas a few years ago, are they still no different from my Han people?"

Living under your feet, they can be treated with the utmost justice, and under the influence of millions of people in Guanzhong, they can be quickly assimilated, so Guanzhong is the most suitable place to promote integration policies. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "You, do you have any follow-up words to say?" ”

"Yes, father, if you want to unify the world, the most important thing you should consider is to convince the people of the world, and the people of Tanmo Dao should be used as a seed, and the ultimate goal is to let them declare your benevolence in a distant territory.

Therefore, whether it is the laborers who have been transported to Shannan Province, or the people who are about to move to Guanzhong, we should leave some information for their families, relatives and friends.

Let these people who have moved here to settle down, after having their own houses and fields, go back to preach the good of this place, or take their relatives over.

As long as the name of your benevolence spreads in those places, coupled with various policies that benefit the people, I believe that it will not be difficult to firmly control the people in those places under the rule of our Tang Dynasty. ”

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin did not show any emotion, was silent for a moment, and then said, "The reason why you interrupted Hou Junji's performance before was that you didn't want me to use swords against the west?" ”

"Exactly, including last year, before you returned, Erchen used up all the taxes from the treasury balance, and this is also the idea." Li Chengqian honestly admitted.

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled happily and said, "You are honest." ”

"Father must have known his son's mind for a long time!"

"That's nature, do you think I'm short-sighted?"

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"I'm afraid I don't dare to say it, but I think so in my heart!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian lowered his head a little ashamedly.

Seeing his expression, Li Shimin spoke again, "Do you know why our Datang's various system reforms are going so smoothly?" ”

This question made Li Chengqian a little stunned, and said, "Isn't it because it will be better after changing it?" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, it will be better after changing it, but before it is changed, who knows how good it is?" Every time the system is reformed, the interests of some people will be touched, how to make them surrender and compromise? ”

At this time, Li Chengqian was asked, and he didn't know where to start.

However, Li Shimin did not despise him because he couldn't answer the question, but said in a gentle tone, "You were taught by Sun Zhengming, so there are more people like him, and his talent is only suitable for doing things, and you are the same, it is normal not to think of these aspects."

For example, you can't understand why I am looking anxious to use my sword against the Western Regions. I tell you, it's a political necessity. ”

"Political needs?" Li Chengqian said with some surprise.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Exactly, today, there are only our father and son here, let's open our hearts and talk!" It can also help you gain some knowledge in these areas that you are not good at.

You should know what I relied on to get this world. ”

Seeing Li Shimin's posture of wanting to teach his son well, Li Chengqian hurriedly played the role of a son who listened attentively, and answered, "The support of the generals in the army." ”

"Exactly, it was they who helped Li Tang, laid down the country, helped me, and won the world, the reason why I was able to play with these sons of the family who had poisoned the Central Plains for many years was because I had an invincible and strong army behind me, and they had to endure anything I didn't want to do, because they couldn't beat me.

Therefore, I must not lose the support of this invincible and powerful army, and I must not block their upward passage, and I must show myself and be with them, so that I can better win their hearts and let them fully support my decision. ”

"Father means that you are just pretending to be so urgent, and you don't really want to fight?"

"If I really want to fight, do you think you can stop me with your little tricks?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

It turns out that the smartest person in this world is his father, who can always look at problems from the perspective of the overall situation, and after careful thinking, it seems that everything he does has a deep meaning.

For example, after Wang Hao's death, the punishment of Sun Xiangfu may not be secretly playing a doubles with Sun Xiangfu, in the case that the family is bent on winning Sun Xiangfu to his opposite, using various means, in the end, there is now a situation where the family is restructured and separated, and it is difficult to fatally harm the country.

And doubles with yourself, well! Li Chengqian, who has reacted now, is still happy that he has the qualifications to play doubles with his father Li Shimin.

Then, let himself dance so happily in the court, and the role is to allow Li Shimin to have all kinds of excuses for not being able to send troops, and continue to maintain the loyalty of the generals to him, while allowing himself to win the hearts of those ministers who don't want to fight, and carry them to do things.

The loyalty of the military generals is all in their father and son, and they naturally succeed in everything they do, which is the real means to do things from the height of domination.

"Then what should Erchen do next?"

"Of course, continue to do your thing, but the matter of the Military Academy was proposed many years ago, and it is time to build it up and cultivate a new generation of talents for our Datang, after reading Zhao Long's brochure of those tactical tactics, I have vaguely felt a direction for future military development, and then Li Yuhua ······"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin stopped, and then changed his words, "This matter is up to you to raise in the court, and in the future, you will use the talents of military generals to select and promote from the new generation of the military academy, so that the generals will see some hope and remain loyal to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was deeply moved, he has never enjoyed such great care from Li Shimin since he was a child.

Taizong in history, although he created a prosperous era of Zhenguan, but also left the Guanlong military group, a powerful force that could not be removed, until the empress ascended the throne.

It was only after Li Chengqian, who had a look of enlightenment, that Li Shimin raised his head to look at the sky and muttered, "If I want to unify the world, I also have to consider how this world can be passed on safely from all aspects, it's really difficult!" ”
