Chapter 595: Ten Million Population

And Namusa Alzimi is a staunch supporter of Aina. Earlier, I intended to match Li Chengji to marry Ayina, although there is no Ming Media marrying Li Chengji, but Ayina has helped take care of the affairs of the palace.

This time Li Chengji got married, and Moussa Alzimi advised Li Chengji to marry Ayina as the queen. If it really happens, it will be Zhang Timing's great regret in his life!

After all, his daughter was once only one step away from that throne.

While he was thinking about this, Murgo, who had read the decree, had already changed the topic and began to sing the praises of Li Chengji's martial arts. There is a great revival of culture and education, and schools are built in various parts of Khorasan. He also saved all the people from fire and water, drove out Khorezm and Naiban for the Western Qarakhanid and Liao Kingdoms, and kept their lives safe.

The most important thing is that Li Chengji's wise decision-making made Khorasan's national strength more and more prosperous. On the borders of Central Asia, it has become a major empire.

Finally, I look to the future and encourage all the courtiers. And I am grateful for the soldiers who sacrificed for the development and growth of Khorasan, so that the people of the world must do 'draught and do not forget to dig wells'. All kinds of military pensions have also been doubled.

This made the generals including Timur lose their eyes sour. Once upon a time when he was fighting for Khorezm, a soldier died when he died. Don't say anything about pensions, and no more taxes on the families of soldiers are blessed by Allah.

Now Khorasan has changed from the practice of the countries of the past! Not only are military personnel given preferential treatment, but various types of war-dead and disability pensions have also been increased. Although this is a large expense for the household department. But for thousands of Khorasan soldiers, it was their money to buy their lives.

So Li Chengji didn't feel that the money was unjustly spent.

Officials in the imperial court also felt that Li Chengji's move was a great act of righteousness. Therefore, there are few beakers and many praisers.

After this announcement, the six departments began to report on government affairs.

Because the court will care about the majesty of Khorasan, the government affairs of the report are all great joys.

First of all, it was started by the head of the household - Zhang Timing! He first informed Li Chengji of the latest population of Khorasan. This is Li Chengji, and it is also what Khorasan is more concerned about.

Because population is the dominant indicator of national strength. Especially in the thirteenth century, when there was a heavy reliance on population as a productive force, the population base was undoubtedly a representative of a country's prosperity and strength.

"In the old years, there were 7.27 million people, and this year they have been merged into the Huihe, Eastern Qarakhanid, Xia, Tubo and other places, with a population of 9.13 million." , Zhang Timing said with a smile. This number is not exact, but the error is only between 10 and 500,000.

Mainly because of the fighting, there are still a large number of fugitives in these newly opened places. They are not counted in the household register, and naturally cannot be counted. There were also tribes in the Kipchak steppe that continued to be brought under Khorasan rule, and every moment new Kipchak tribes were captured by human merchants and sent into the interior of Khorasan.

In terms of household registration, it is also growing.

Then there is Persia, with the re-establishment of local order in Khorasan, the people also began to register with the government.

This is also for its own benefit.

Because Khorasan allocates the land according to the household registration. If you don't have a household registration, don't even think about getting a handful of potatoes. And even if you are doing business and working, you have to be registered. Khorasan issued an iron identity plate to every Khorasan citizen.

It contains the basic information of the individual, which is the basis for the survival of the people of Khorasan in Khorasan.

Otherwise, the government will treat it as a black household.

At that time, it will be sent to Gur, Kipchak and other places to be border people.

This has also led to the rapid progress of the household registration system in Khorasan, and the household officials are also running around the country, busy with their feet on the ground.

The Khorasan officials present at the moment were amazed to hear that Khorasan already had a population of nearly 10 million.

However, Li Chengji, whose face was as usual, was not surprised. Because he has long seen the statistics and knows the results. In addition, among the population of 10 million, the proportion of new immigrants who have just come under Khorasan rule is too large.

And no matter which ethnic group. None of them have an absolute advantage. This makes it possible for Khorasan to be divided. Especially when the central government suffers a major change, local rule will become more unstable.

Although a large-scale population replacement policy is now being carried out, no one ethnic group will occupy the absolute population in every place. The Sogdians, who were more concentrated in the middle of the river, were scattered throughout Khorasan.

There are also Qarluq people who are more concentrated in the Tianshan Mountains, Broken Leaves and other places, which have also been dispersed. The indigenous people of Khorezm, Huihe, the four counties of Xia, the Tibetan region, the Persian pig county, Gur, Sindh and other places have also been resettled.

But there are priorities!

Population replacement cannot be done all at once.

Only Huihe and the four prefectures of the Xia Kingdom, Kipchak and other places were relocated more completely due to the means of war. Elsewhere, progress has been slow. Therefore, the population replacement policy is still one of Khorasan's national policies.

Later, Zhang Timing began to introduce Khorasan's financial revenue.

The two important revenues of commercial tax and grain tax were converted into gold coins, amounting to 36,890,000 yuan. According to the usual ratio of ten dinars, it is an astronomical amount. And that's not even counting the loot that was captured, otherwise it would have been staggeringly high.

But it is impossible for so much money to flow into the private sector all at once.

Nowadays, due to the booming commerce in Khorasan, there is a certain amount of inflation in the country. The prices of various daily necessities have increased in different ranges. Even if the price department comes forward to suppress it, it can't be suppressed.

There are still too many coins circulating in the market, which has caused a serious depreciation of the monetary system dominated by the dinar.

Now, in order to stabilize prices, Khorasan has begun to ban the export of some necessities of life. For example, grain and cloth are very strictly controlled. Although there are usually export bans, some businessmen are careful to resell abroad, and it is still not a big deal.

Now that the investigation is strict, many businessmen have fallen behind. Not only will the family property be confiscated, but the head may also be lost.

Li Chengji has ordered the major workshops to increase production in order to alleviate the unfavorable situation of domestic inflation as much as possible. In addition, all major wars have come to an end, and military procurement will be greatly reduced. This will allow the workshop to supply a large number of goods to the market, and the inflation situation will be predictably alleviated.

Li Chengji thought that the money from the treasury should be put to good use. Although you can't immediately put it into the private sector, you can make a big fuss. For example, the establishment of the Royal Bank and the issuance of paper money. With this treasury reserve, it is enough to shield against all possible financial risks.

Moreover, it can facilitate non-governmental transactions and promote the development of commerce and trade.

More importantly, the wealth of the people can be collected into the national treasury and the state resources can be mobilized to a greater extent.
