The Tang Empire, the end of the summer of the third year of Xianqing.

Andong Province, Busan Port.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the breeze from the sea rustled the trees in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion with a fishy smell.

The rich shade of trees shaded the courtyard like a green cloud.

Busan was a new port city, and after the Battle of Gosangang in the second year of Hyeongyeong, the Tang Dynasty established control of the southern peninsula of Korea in World War I, and the Japanese fled back to the island in disarray, and Baekje and Silla also surrendered to the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

After the war, Li Xiao personally made a victory to Chang'an, recounting the military achievements of the generals and soldiers, and also asked to stay in Andong for a longer period of time.

The emperor agreed to Li Xiao's request, and also agreed to Li Xiao's new district planning plan. The land of Baekje and Silla belonged to Andong Province, and it was divided into seven prefectures, namely Bear, Quan, Mu, Kang, Sang, Gyeong, and Yang, and each state had only five counties, so that the prefectures and counties were greatly streamlined.

Originally, there were five prefectures in the old land of Baekje, but several were also eliminated this time, and there were only three prefectures left in the entire Andong Province, namely the Woong Prefecture Governor's Office, the three prefectures of Lixiong, Quan, and Mo, the Gyeongju Governor's Office, the Likang and Gyeongji Prefectures, and the Yangju Metropolitan Governor's Office, which was affiliated with Sang and Yang's two states.

Li Xiao was awarded the founding prince of Lelang County for his merits, and was given 800 households in Shiyi Zhenfeng, a total of 1,000 households before the pass, and was awarded the honor of the Zhuguo, awarded the envoy of Andong Daojiedu, the observation and transfer envoy, and the governor of Xiongzhou, the history of the assassin, and the title of the prince Shaobao, and the official rank of the doctor of the third grade silver Qingguanglu.

Li Xiao won the title of county prince in the first battle, or actually sealed thousands of households, which made countless people envious and amazed. And all of his subordinate generals naturally also rewarded their merits and deeds, and they were all promoted to knighthood.

Even Zhao Zhiman, who was deposed as a slave before, was also given an official title by the emperor this time, and was awarded the title of Marquis in World War I and the governor of Liangzhou.

Wang Fangyi was named the marquis, awarded the governor of Qingzhou, Cheng Boxian was awarded the marquis, Wuzhou was awarded the history of the assassin, Xue Chuyu was awarded the marquis, and the history of the Quanzhou assassin was awarded········

In the First World War, there were more than 30 county dukes, thirteen marquises, and bozi baronies·······

The port of Pusan, home to the Yangju Governorate, was both a new trading port in the southern part of the peninsula, a garrison for the Andong Naval Division, and a base camp for the defense against pirates.

A golden carp jumped high from the pond, with a white splash of water, and then fell back into the pond with a flash of golden light.

Li Xiao, who was leaning on the railing, held a lotus flower in his hand, picked another petal and threw it into the water, causing another fish to jump.

Footsteps sounded from outside, and Zhao, the governor of Liangzhou, came in with a purple robe, "Dashuai still has this leisure and elegance to feed carp and lotus flowers?" ”

"The golden carp in the Busan Port City Governor's Mansion is still quite nostalgic, and I won't have a chance to feed it when I return to Chang'an."

"Dashuai is really going back to Chang'an?" Zhao Zhiman's brows furrowed.

Li Xiao smiled, "This can still be fake, when my brother Shanjiang called me back after the first war, I wrote to the emperor and the prime ministers, and finally they promised me to stay here for an extra year." Originally, I should have entered Beijing a year ago, and I had to rely on it for half a year, and now the imperial court has issued several edicts in a row, and I can't go if I don't leave, the new Dadu Protector is already at sea, and I'm about to set foot on the land of Anton, so there can't be two chief officials, right? ”

At the beginning, Li Xiao also showed a very bright performance, so that the court agreed to let him stay, and at that time, in order to let Li Xiao be more hands-free to manage this place, he specially awarded Li Xiao the post of festival envoy.

This is the first time that Datang has officially established this position, although it was often called a marshal in the army, it was not a formal official position. And this time the emperor set up this position for Li Xiao for the first time, although the Jiedu envoy is also an envoy, with the nature of temporary dispatch, but after all, it is specially set up for him, which is extraordinary.

Moreover, after Li Xiao served as the military post of the Jiedu envoy in charge of the soldiers and horses in charge of the war, he also served as the observation and transfer envoy, which is a civilian position, which is in charge of both civil affairs and the supervision and inspection of officials, and is also in charge of the transfer of money and grain.

With these powers, Li Xiao was able to build the South Peninsula with each passing day in the past two years, and the land of the three counties in seven states has now been completely plowed through, and more than 200,000 old nobles and powerful landlords of Baekje and Silla have been liquidated by Li Xiao and sent to the Central Plains Continent together, so that they can go to the frontier to reclaim the wasteland.

The remaining old people of Silla and Baekje also experienced a series of major events such as measuring the land, counting the household registration, granting land to the land, and selecting the government soldiers.

Under these actions, there are now 1.2 million households officially registered in Andong Province as the new Tang Dynasty people, with a population of more than 6.3 million, of which they are basically good citizens who pay taxes and contributions, and there are as many as 2 million Ding Nan who pay taxes.

When this set of figures arrived in Chang'an, I don't know how many bigwigs in the DPRK and China were shocked, and even the emperor jumped in shock.

Not to mention the astonishing number of 1.2 million households and 6.3 million people, just the number of 2 million Ding men can make the Chang'an court stupid.

I think that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts that had just pacified the world, there were only 1.8 million households, and it was only restored to 3 million households in the middle of Zhenguan, and at the beginning of Yonghui, when Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, it was only 3.8 million households, so we can see how amazing this number is.

When the Sui Dynasty was strong, the population was as high as more than 9 million households, with a population of more than 50 million. Although it is said that at the beginning of Wude, just after the end of the war, there were many runaways and hidden households that were not counted, but at that time, the population did suffer a lot of losses, especially the number of official tax payers.

In recent years, the imperial court has been stable, and the population has continued to grow, especially through the counting of the population, the search for fugitive households, etc., many new populations have been added, but the actual number is only about 4 million, even if those who are not registered, etc., it is estimated that the total number is more than 5 million and 6 million households.

Now Li Xiao has added 1.2 million households to Datang at once, with a population of more than 6 million, which is at least an increase of 20% of the population.

At the beginning, the ministers of the court thought that the population of Silla and Baekje was only three or four million at most, but Li Xiao used hard means to turn over the entire Silla and Baekje, and all the people could be registered and registered, and there were no hidden households and fugitives.

You must know that although the population is important, a large part of the population of the Tang Dynasty is not a good citizen, and a large part is not a good citizen.
