He looked at Li Shimin in a daze for a long time, and finally failed to guess what the emperor meant, so he could only point to the book in the emperor's hand with a wry smile, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, can you read it yourself, your questions are too detailed......"

Who knew that Li Shimin snorted coldly, and for some reason seemed to be very angry, and suddenly scolded angrily: "You are a prince of a country, and you have thousands of weights, but look at how you become a prince?" Don't you even know about your own people? ”

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little aggrieved, and couldn't help but retort: "Could it be that Your Majesty can remember all the circumstances of the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Good question!" Li Shimin's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "I do remember. ”

Without hesitation, he blurted out: "The Tang Dynasty Ten Dao, 28 million people in the register, men are divided into old and young, and strong, middle and young, if you talk about the total number of men, it should be 11.47 million, of which 4.2 million are middle-aged young people, 2.27 million are elderly, and the rest are tax cuts and Mengtong, the number is exactly 5 million, and the 5 million are divided into male and female babies, 3.2 million male babies, 2.8 million female babies, 30% of those who are nearly 10 years old, 50% of those under 8 years old, and another 20% are about to become adults, these numbers are recorded ......in my heart."

Li Yun was dumbfounded.

Li Shimin glanced at him coldly, and said again: "In addition to men, there are also women, the total number is 16.53 million, which are also divided into old and young, middle-aged and young, stinky boy, do you want me to tell you one by one, I promise to tell you all the same." ”

Li Yun subconsciously swallowed and salivaed.

Suddenly I felt a hot ...... on my face

Later generations always felt that they were highly knowledgeable, and they always thought that the ancients were turtles, and even thought that the emperor only needed to be able to employ people.

Now it seems that being an emperor is very tiring.

……

"Stinky boy, look up and look at me!"

Li Shimin suddenly spoke again, this time in a stern tone.

Li Yun hurriedly raised his head and obediently waited for a reprimand.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's tone suddenly softened, and he became extremely gentle, and said softly: "I ask you a question, I hope you can think about it, Datang has 3.2 million male babies and 2.8 million female babies, 30% of those who are nearly 10 years old, 50% of those under the age of eight, and 20% of them are about to become adults, do you know what this number means?" ”

What does that mean?

Li Yun fell into deep thought.

But he felt like he couldn't think......

The Emperor's question is too general, and who knows exactly what direction you want to ask.

He felt that he couldn't think, but someone had already thought of the direction, and it was still two people, almost unanimously said: "The national strength is getting stronger." ”

The voice is very crisp, and it is all women.

Li Yunxun looked for prestige, and his face was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the person who spoke was not someone else, it was clearly Princess Linglong and Wu Zhao, one of the two was a girl, and the other was a girl, but the time to answer was almost the same, which showed that the wisdom of the two was comparable.

But seeing Linglong glanced at Wu Zhao, and suddenly pushed the little girl out, Wu Yatou was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty's question just now, the answer should be that the national strength is getting stronger, 3.2 million male babies, 2.8 million female babies, nearly ten years old account for thirty percent, those under eight years old account for fifty percent, and another two percent are about to become adults. The people don't have enough children. ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly, looking forward to this girl.

Li Yun looked thoughtful, he had already vaguely understood the answer to the question.

Sure enough, I only heard Sister Wu say again: "Children under the age of eight account for fifty percent, only ten years old only thirty percent, the older the age, the earlier the birth, the younger the age, the later the birth, why the younger the age accounts for fifty percent, it is because the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the people can live to give birth to more children." ”

"Good!"

Li Shimin clapped his hands heavily!

Li Yun exhaled lightly.

The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the martial girl, but his eyes looked at Li Yun's side, and said with deep meaning: "I finally understand now, why are you stinky boy cautious, tsk tsk, good girl born by a warrior, how old is this girl this year......

Wu Yatou was most afraid of others saying her age, so she hurriedly raised her little head and argued loudly: "Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter will be fourteen years old soon." ”

"No need to argue, small is small!" Li Shimin seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a joke: "After two years, even if you argue, it will be in vain!" ”

Wu Ya hung her head and retreated dejectedly.

Li Shimin didn't stop it, but glanced at the back of the little girl with great meaning, and seemed to have a faint glance at Linglong, and then took it back indiscriminibly.

The Emperor looked at Li Yun again.

Li Yun arched his hand at him with a wry smile.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

In Li Shimin's eyes, it is expectation, encouragement, sustenance, and teaching, why did the emperor borrow the question of the household book just now to get angry, in fact, he wanted to use this method to train Emperor Li Yun's learning.

When you become an emperor, you first have to remember the situation of the people of the whole country.

If even the emperor doesn't care about this, why can you let the ministers help you care?

Li Yun's eyes are embarrassed and introspective, he knows that he has always been too smooth, so obedient that he thinks that he is the eldest and his second, relying on his amazing power, and there are a large number of bigwigs behind him, he feels that there is nothing difficult in the world, and he thinks that the knowledge of the future generations is far beyond ordinary people.

At this moment, I finally understood that in fact, he underestimated the ancients, and if he wanted to govern a country, it was not as simple as recorded in the history books......

On paper, it is always shallow, and it may be exaggerated, but when it is actually practiced, you will find such and such deficiencies.

And these deficiencies can only be possessed by continuous learning and accumulation.

He's worse than the emperor!

……

"Stinky boy!"

Li Shimin suddenly spoke again, the emperor has been shouting stinky boys these few times, obviously there are ministers all around, and even the people are not far away, but the emperor did not call Li Yun's title, but specially adopted the way of elders calling juniors.

Li Yun knew that the emperor still had something to say, so he hurriedly looked up at the car.

But seeing that Li Shimin's face had softened, and his tone had become more gentle, he still asked, still asking the same question just now, and said, "Can you tell me now how much the population of your Bohai Kingdom is." ”

The emperor still held the household book in his hand and did not open it, obviously determined to pay attention to let Li Yun answer in person.

Li Yun took a deep breath!

"Your Majesty......"

After a long time, he solemnly bowed his hand to the emperor and said in a deep voice: "The Bohai Sea grass is created, the population is difficult to control, this is the minister's dereliction of duty, and he will definitely pay attention to it in the future, but the remedy can only be in the future, and His Majesty will see the growth of the minister now, since this is the case, the minister will dare to answer......"

He paused for a moment, followed by sincerity and said: "The minister was sealed to this side of the Bohai Sea by you, and he also paid attention to it from scratch, I personally set foot in the white mountains and black waters, and traveled almost every forest in this land, north to the Heishui Ya, south to the Dada tribe, with my heart, I made a longing, the life of the Ya tribes is too hard, and there are few cheers and joys in response to the call, only half a year, the whole territory has been collected, not a single soldier has been moved, no one has been injured, but the Tatar tribe has flocked to come, but their population has been two million. ”

"Two million?"

Li Shimin suddenly interrupted and said, "If I remember correctly, you gave me a national letter before, and the numbers written on that national letter are not these, what you said at that time was more than 8 million. ”

"Not bad!"

Li Yun nodded without hesitation and said, "The population of the Evil Clan is definitely more than 8 million, but they live in the wilderness and jungle, and it is impossible for them all to settle in the city for a while, and it is precisely for this reason that there is no statistics in the minister's household book. ”

Li Shimin looked at him deeply, and suddenly asked, "What about in the future?" ”

"No need to do it later, start counting it today!" Li Yun still did not hesitate, and said firmly: "Even if you step on every inch of land in the entire White Mountain and Black Water, the minister will count this population." ”

The emperor did not comment.

Li Yun thought for a while, and then said: "In addition to the Yan clan, the Bohai Sea of the minister also has a population, before Hebei Province and Shandong each migrated 500,000 people, in addition to other places migrated people, the population also has a lot, the total number is about 2 million. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "In other words, the actual population of your Bohai Kingdom has exceeded 10 million ......."

Li Yun hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

"Good!"

The emperor suddenly laughed and suddenly raised the household register in his hand.

Then, everyone watched, but saw the emperor's hands pull suddenly.

Tear and pull!

The household register was torn!

The audience was all stunned, and Li Yun was also dumbfounded.

What is the emperor trying to do......
