Chapter 259: Showdown

Forcing the hidden household out is not a simple matter, and it has been doing this since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, but so far, the effect is worrying.

"Isn't it enough that the imperial court has ordered that the land they sold should not be held accountable, and that they can even choose their townships and households and redistribute the land?" Li Shimin was a little speechless.

It's not that he is speechless to Li Yuanjing, but to those hidden people.

No matter what kind of price the imperial court offers, there are always not many people who are willing to re-enter the household.

So the current problem is that there are obviously many people in the country, but the number of people on the books is not much, and the income of the imperial court can only be provided by the 2.5 million people, but these 2.5 million people are not enough land.

So now because there are too many hidden households, and they don't have to participate in any national decrees, although they have also lost the protection and treatment of the imperial court, there are still many people who envy those hidden households, and some people even directly abandon their current family business and run out to become hidden households.

"Not enough!" Although Li Yuanjing knew that the imperial court had done its best, if he wanted to force tens of millions of hidden households out, it was far from enough to do this.

"It's very simple to force the hermits out, just take away their master's land!"

"It's light to say, who are those masters, you don't have any points in your heart?" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Five surnames and seven hopes are the source, even Er Li is no exception, some distant relatives who are not too close can also enjoy the convenience brought by the royal family, they may not be anything in Chang'an, but their status in the countryside is not ordinary, and they also have a lot of hidden households.

If it is really dealt with, Er Li is really the most difficult to deal with.

"It's very simple, the younger brother plans to explore new land as soon as he prepares, if he encounters an uninhabited island of the right size and suitable for survival, isn't this the capital of the imperial court to recover the land?" Li Yuanjing threw out his thoughts.

"Do you want to solve the problem by trading?" Li Shimin was stunned, and suddenly remembered the letter that Li Yuanjing had written before.

The fifth article of the breakthrough lists this matter in detail, the influence of the family is so great that it is difficult to eliminate it through peaceful means, but if left unchecked, it can shake the foundation of the imperial court, and when the king sends it away from the homeland, the focus of the family will inevitably shift to the subject country, and the imperial court can take the opportunity to fill the gap and strengthen the centralization of power.

"Yes, how can it be so easy to become a king? If they were given a country overseas, and they were given so much land and wealth at home, why would the imperial court do this? Could it be that the prince of the royal family can't fill these places? Li Yuanjing nodded, and then said:

"After discovering the island, immediately make a measurement record, put it on the bright side for them to choose, one acre of arable land can be exchanged for five or ten acres, and if the land is not enough, use money to buy it, always one acre, five through one acre, these royal brothers can think about it."

"Only by buying land can you be crowned king, Your Highness's trick is really clever, even the old man wants to line up first!" Fang Xuanling stretched out his thumb to Li Yuanjing, quietly glanced at Li Shimin, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

"The most important thing is that they are unlikely to refuse, and at this time the land in their hands is in the hands of the imperial court, and the first thing the imperial court has to do at this time is to first make up for the lack of land for the registered people, and all the rest will be included in the official field, and the official land will not be planted for the hidden households, and at this time, these hidden households will only have two choices, follow their master to go away, or naturalize and get the land again." Li Yuanjing smiled, as long as the government wants to make things difficult for those hidden households, they will definitely not be able to move an inch in Datang.

No one wants to leave their hometown, even if they can't survive, they will have to spend a while here, and they will choose to leave when they are really desperate.

"What about immigrants?" Li Shimin had some vague expectations for this suggestion, and then shifted his attention to immigrants.

Migration is not easy to do, and the experience in the past is to pardon those prisoners, but only if they are allowed to move their families to a new place to live, and there are not many people who actually volunteer to emigrate.

"It's very easy to do, it's all voluntary, each state and county allocates a certain number of places, and the goal of the first phase is Tamna, and the first batch of immigrants is 2,000 households, the early stage is for the military and civilian co-construction and reclamation, and the second batch is carried out a year later, one by one, and all those who participate in the registration of immigrants are not limited to status.

Before the first production of the land, the imperial court was responsible for their rations, for helping them to build houses, and for other things, men and women, young and old, even the fetus in the womb.

There is one count, one hundred acres of Yongye field per person, one hundred acres of land divided into one hundred acres, all promised to be fully granted, according to the yield of two stones per mu, a family of five will have a thousand acres of land, a year output of two thousand stones, even if the output declines due to lack of management due to a small number of people, a thousand stones can still be guaranteed, and a family according to two men to calculate, but only take out four stones of grain.

At this time, they should have a headache, what should they do with so much food? For the extra grain, the imperial court can buy it at a low price, this is not a cheap grain hurting the peasants, there is grain everywhere, as long as the imperial court can buy it and give a reasonable price, they will be satisfied.

As the country's population grows, grain storage is necessary, and it only takes ten years to operate Tamna, the southern part of the Wakoku Kingdom, and the Ryukyus, and from then on, no matter whether Datang encounters natural disasters or man-made disasters, there will be no shortage of food! ”

Now there is almost no land in Datang, some can give half, that is, about fifty acres, and some narrow townships can only give one or twenty acres for a man, and the government does not want to do this, but there is no way, there is not enough land at all.

So don't look at the paper regulations are 80 acres of Yongye field, 20 acres of mouth field, and 100 acres per male person, in fact, there is a lot of water in it.

As long as the imperial court dares to make a promise of 200 mu per capita, as long as the first batch of people who dare to eat crabs will follow, more people will soon squeeze their heads and want to follow.

"In addition, the imperial court promised to establish academies in these places, and all children can enter and study for free, and if they participate in the imperial examination in the future, they can get appropriate points!" Li Yuanjing continued.

No one wants to be a farmer for generations, and when there is no condition, I don't want to, but as long as there are conditions, most people still want the younger generations to learn culture, the imperial court establishes academies, free learning, and there are plus points for the imperial examination, this set of combination punches out, can definitely beat most people stunned!

"Bonus?" Li Shimin was stunned, what is the operation of adding points? Although he knew that it would be good for him to do so, how should this thing be done? "Is it possible that a candidate with the same score is ahead of everyone else because he is from overseas? Isn't that fair? ”

"No, you can be divided into two lists, if you can make it to the list, you will be given priority, and a certain number of people will be selected from the list to make up the record, and the treatment of these people will be the same as the end of the list, and there is no need to treat them differently. As more and more places are discovered, the states and counties of Datang will be set up in various places, and the officials needed are far from enough to rely on now, so this is a good supplement! ”

Li Shimin suddenly understood what Li Yuanjing meant, the original intention of the imperial examination was to strengthen the centralization of power and use the scholars of the poor family to fight against the family lords, so as to achieve the purpose of rejecting monopoly.

However, due to the lack of resources, the scholars of the Han family have proved that their quality is really average after decades of imperial examinations, but if the imperial court opens academies in those places, it is definitely a good choice.

"What do you want?" Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanjing with a heavy face, Li Yuanjing, who was dedicated to the public, was not the Li Yuanjing he wanted, and he didn't dare to use it with confidence.

Li Yuanjing smiled slightly, if he wants to live comfortably and freely, he can only leave Datang, otherwise he will be restricted everywhere here, don't think about rebellion or anything, it is impossible and unrealistic, there is no suitable soil for rebellion in Datang during this period.

Therefore, Li Yuanjing said very self-awarely: "Of course, I want a feudal country that can satisfy me, not only will the courtiers not pay for it, but the court will also support the courtiers, and in addition, the people who have migrated are at least 200,000 households!" ”
