Chapter 657: The Beginning of the Prosperous Era

The inclusion of the Korean Peninsula has brought Datang into a new heyday, which is not just an illusion of being strong from the outside, but strong from the inside out.

If you compare the data, you can see that in the past, when there was a big war of this scale, no matter what the result was, the Central Plains Imperial Court's own losses were bound to be certain.

Even most of the time, after a big war, the Central Plains Dynasty will go back by many years.

In the era of cold weapons, there has never been a case of defeating an opponent with low battle losses, and the consumption of food is also extremely terrifying.

But this situation did not appear in Datang.

First of all, although the reformed army has a greater demand for materials, the same demand for materials has solved the defect of the loss of troops.

A large number of bullets and shells were sent over, in exchange for low battle losses, yes, the strength of the enemy and us is not equal, just like the Iraq War in the later generations, the US imperialist soldiers manipulated all kinds of advanced equipment, and Iraq was defeated before it could react, in fact, this is the same reason.

And the only thing that could defeat the Tang army in this battle was their own logistical problems.

But I'm sorry, Li Yuanji knows this better than anyone else, so the logistics were also deployed at the earliest.

On the land of Datang, there are five super-large arsenals, these arsenals have been put into use a year before the start of the war, ammunition or something, either hoarded in Haizhou, or transported to Jeju in advance, a large number of ships, can continuously transport these ammunition to the Korean Peninsula, as for grain, successive bumper harvests, more than 2,000 Changping warehouses are almost full, Datang is now simply not lacking anything.

On the other hand, the cement road has been built continuously within three years, and with a large number of trucks put into the project, the mechanized operation mode has made the construction of the cement road more rapid.

In addition, a large number of workers have experience, after several practical accumulation, to find out a set of more reasonable construction methods, within three years, starting from Chang'an, take the cement official road, you can follow this road to reach two-thirds of the state capital.

The rest are all remote areas, places that require a lot of manpower and material resources to build, and have been temporarily left behind.

In terms of railways, as early as when the Changhai Railway had not yet been opened to traffic, Chang'an to Zhenzhou, Youzhou to Zhengzhou to Ezhou, Zhengzhou to Xuzhou, Zhengzhou to Yangzhou, these three railways have been started on the whole line.

With the support of a whole 2,000-mile-long Changhai Railway, coupled with the advance deployment of the imperial court, the construction of this section of the railway, the talents cultivated are enough to support the Tang Dynasty to build these three railways at the same time.

Money is not a problem, in the era of planned economy, money has never been a problem, because what needs to be paid is only labor expenditure, equipment and everything is a one-time investment.

In addition, with the completion of the Changhai Railway and the investment of a large number of industrialization facilities, Datang's productivity has increased several times compared with a few years ago, which has also promoted the rapid development of commerce.

The most important thing is the support of the imperial court, focusing on infrastructure construction, with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the simultaneous construction of these three railways, as well as the construction of those cement roads, as long as the planning is right, there is basically no problem.

Besides, not all of this money was spent by the imperial court.

Because of the change of the imperial court's policy, the treasury of the local government also has some surplus, and according to the different financial capabilities of each place, the imperial court is also very humane to formulate different funding standards according to each locality.

Of course, don't forget that Li Yuanji still has a large amount of gold and silver in his hands, and within three years, this batch of gold and silver has also been invested in batches, with a total value of about three million yuan.

The Korean Peninsula joined this big family and was named the three states of Liaodong, Donghae, and Chaonan.

Through the division of the Korean Peninsula, the entire Korean Peninsula was divided into three different states, and a large number of Han people were moved in at the same time to assimilate each other, which fundamentally reduced the possibility of secession from the Korean Peninsula.

However, time is moving step by step, from the seventh year of Shenyuan to the end of the tenth year of Shenyuan, and in half a month it will be Zhengdan, which will also open the chapter of the eleventh year of Shenyuan.

In the ten years that Li Yuanji was emperor, the Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and there have been many new faces in the court, some of which are famous in history, and some of which have not been mentioned at all in history, but it is undeniable that their abilities are indeed very strong.

At the end of the seventh year of Shenyuan, the former cabinet minister, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Zhenghui, died of illness, in the eighth year of Shenyuan, Zhang Gongjin, who lived in this world for four more years, still did not escape the control of the disease, blood transfusion is indeed useful, but it is too late in time, many diseases have penetrated into the body, in fact, Zhang Gongjin has been suffering from illness in recent years.

Another one is that three months ago, Chen Guogong, that is, Li Yuanji's third brother-in-law Chai Shao, died of illness, although he tried his best to save it, but Chai Shao was not in Chang'an at the time, and he didn't care about it at the beginning of the illness.

Maybe I missed the third sister Princess Pingyang too much, so I left so quickly.

And Li Yuanji has also been in this world for thirteen years, and thirteen years have made him from a young man in his twenties to a middle-aged uncle at the age of thirty-six.

When people reach middle age, they think more.

Emperor, everyone wants to be the emperor, but now what Li Yuanji feels is endless loneliness.

The impulse and excitement of the year are long gone, and the rest is just boring and boring.

Li Chengguang has grown up well, but on the one hand, Li Yuanji hopes that he can grow up faster, and on the other hand, he hopes that time can go back to the past, back to the time when he was still in Zhenzhou eleven years ago, back to the time when he just crossed back, if he can do it again, maybe he will choose to tell the truth, at least let the eldest brother Li Jiancheng take precautions.

Thoughts wandered aimlessly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

……

The time came to the New Year's Day, the eleventh great court meeting held by Li Yuanji.

There was nothing special about this meeting, but it was the most special.

Because the time has come to the eleventh year of Shenyuan, a seemingly ordinary year, but it is a year that the people of the world are looking forward to, because from this day on, Datang will completely cancel the tax system.

Although only 10% of the tuition was required last year, when it came time to actually cancel it, the people were still looking forward to it.

But these are small things, decisions that were made ten years ago.

Some ministers who knew about it did not take this matter to heart, because they knew that this year's court meeting would surely go down in history and become one of the most shining ones.

In the first year of becoming the crown prince, Li Chengguang played the role of treating the old man well, and since that year, the elderly over 70 years old can receive a monthly subsidy of a bucket of grain per person, and this policy has been implemented for three years without interruption.

This policy not only allowed the crown prince to gain a lot of popular support, but also made the cohesion of the imperial court stronger, and the emperor's influence was further enhanced.

After two years of silence in the middle, two years of waiting, and two years of preparation, today, the prince will play again.

The cabinet ministers already know the content of the last performance, and as with the last time, some detailed data is still provided by these ministers.

Like last time, the direction proposed by Li Yuanji was personally sponsored by Li Chengguang and formulated the plan.

In fact, Li Yuanji didn't want to bring it up, but with Li Chengguang's age, IQ and opinions, he couldn't see the current problem, so he could only put it forward, and then let Li Chengguang solve it and grow up.

It is still an ancient process, worshipping, summarizing, looking forward to the future, and at the end, Li Chengguang stood up again.

"Father, the son has something to play!"

"Yes!"

It's all predetermined, the father and son don't have the slightest sense of rustiness when they act, three years ago, Li Chengguang still needed to take the fold to look through, and now, with the fold in his hand, he handed it directly over, but he himself can already get off the script.

"Father, the sons have visited various places in recent years, and with reference to government affairs, they found that there are still areas for improvement in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengguang said calmly.

"The first point is the land issue, the current land management is quite chaotic, the original is still the implementation of the land equalization system, but the new population is not qualified to share the land, for a long time, extremely unfair. Therefore, Erchen felt that this system should be changed. The way of the uniform field system is no longer suitable for the current development needs, so Erchen feels that it should be people-oriented, regardless of whether people are old or young, all 30 acres of real land, life is divided, people die to return to the field, and there is no mouth to divide the eternal industry. ”

Regarding this point, Li Chengguang has done a detailed investigation, so the figure of 30 mu is not said arbitrarily.

First of all, during the equalization system, there were more wide townships and fewer narrow townships, and some were even less than 10 acres, but this time the reform was to divide all 30 acres of real land, which is really 30 acres, regardless of wide townships and narrow townships.

Again, the yield per mu of Datang was about one stone or more before, which was not high, according to the cultivation method at that time, it was completely a matter of watching the sky and eating, and it was impossible to expect a high yield.

But now, a large number of irrigation facilities have been completed, coupled with the mechanized cultivation has been promoted, reasonable alternate farming, the yield per mu has reached nearly three stones, 30 mu is the output of 80 or 90 stones, a normal person, a year's ration consumption is about 10 to 20 stones, which refers to a large amount of food, as long as it can be fully shared, the interests of the peasants are actually not reduced.

"The second is the population problem, the population of the Tang Dynasty is too small, although there are more than 40 million at the moment, but it is still too little, in order to solve the problem of insufficient distribution of land in a large population, the two should be combined, stay in the place of origin, according to the current system, willing to obey the migration, each person can be divided into 60 acres of land, within 10 years, the new born population can be divided into 50 acres of land, ten years later everything is as usual.

In addition, the sons felt that the imperial court should encourage childbearing and reward them......"
