The incident is still fermenting, and the impact on the entire Datang is self-evident.

But there is no doubt that this incident is a completely positive image, and as the leader, the imperial court is naturally happy to see it.

As for paying......

"At present, there are 336,177 people over the age of 70 who are registered, and if they are distributed according to a bucket of grain per person per month, they need to spend about 33,618 hu per month, and 403,412 hu for the whole year, and the current inventory is about 10 million stones, counting the new storage this year, this number will increase to at least 13 million stones, if the mechanized production can be promoted to the north of the town in the coming year, and the amount of cultivated farmland will be increased, the output will rise again." After the New Year, the first thing Huangfu Wuyi did when he went to work was to reconfirm the number of people and the inventory of Changping warehouse.

But what he got here was only a rough data, and the exact data would have to wait for a while until the localities reported the situation in detail.

And the number of people over 70 years old, this may also have a certain deviation, but the deviation should not be too large, after all, when you are old, you may kick your legs at any time, and time has passed, and every year there are many people who enter this ranks.

The data of the local government is summarized once a month, but the imperial court can't do it here, they can only summarize it once a year in the middle of the year, that is to say, the data he gets here now is the data from more than half a year ago.

But this does not affect them to make the overall plan, even if there is a deviation, where can the deviation go?

It's nothing more than a thousand people, or less, and in general you can't go wrong.

And the only thing that is gratifying is that Datang now has grain in stock, nearly 10 million stones.

What does this mean?

It means that there are more than 8 million households in Datang and 40 million people, and there is an average of one stone of grain for every four people.

Purely from a data point of view, this number is not much.

But to take into account a practical problem, this is the level of grain storage that is often closed, and what is the regular position? That is the granary of the state, that is, for several years, the state has prepared a stone of grain for every four people.

These grains are not needed until disaster years, because people usually have their own grain at home, and in recent years, with the construction of water conservancy, a large number of production equipment has been improved, resulting in increased production efficiency, improved grain growth environment, increased output and so on.

The other is the demographic issue.

During the Li Yuan period, the population of the Tang Dynasty was less than 10 million, which was the registered population, and during the Great Cause period, the population was close to 50 million.

Will decades of war really cause so many people to be lost?

Those people have chosen to become recluse, and the advantage of seclusion is that they do not have to pay taxes.

But this problem is not a problem at all now, the imperial court is reducing taxes year by year, plus a large number of job opportunities, although the land is no longer equalized, but the previous fields are also evenly divided according to the number of people in the village.

But there is a premise for this, that is, if you are registered, you are not registered, even if you have lived in this village all your life, everyone knows you, then you can only be sorry, there is no land for you.

No matter what you do outside, you need to be registered, which leads to a large number of hidden people having to take the initiative to report their households.

Now there are basically no hidden households in Datang, but this set of data also directly proves that during the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Datang lost at least six million people.

Li Yuanji nodded, and the benefits issued only accounted for more than three percent of the total reserves of the regular liquidation, which was completely within the acceptable range.

And for Datang, as long as there are no man-made disasters, even if it is a natural disaster, it may not be so terrible.

First of all, so much reserves are completely sufficient, and secondly, once mechanized production is promoted, Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places may only be able to improve production efficiency, which is subject to the size of the place.

But in the north of the town, what is increased is the amount of land cultivated.

Moreover, the land over there is extremely fertile, and the perennial grassland, every winter, will accumulate some fertility for the land there, and the manure fermentation of cattle, sheep and horses makes the land there far more fertile than the Central Plains.

There's no need to even raise the land, it's okay to plant it directly, and the yield is not lower than here.

A population of 40 million is indeed a lot, but it is also very small, and most of these populations are concentrated in Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

For example, the north of the town of Nuoda has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and nearly half of it is attached by the Turks.

"Your Majesty, this system will inevitably lead to confusion in the management of the permanent liquidation, so the minister believes that a new permanent liquidation can be built in various places, mainly based on the existing permanent liquidation, but this permanent liquidation does not serve as a grain task, only responsible for its original tasks, and always maintains its storage quantity of not less than ninety, and the rest of the grain will be transported to the newly repaired warehouse, which is mainly used for grain, as well as the supplement to the main warehouse, and the two warehouses are separated, and the management can be more clear...... "Huangfu Wuyi continued to suggest.

He didn't think much about this matter, and finally came to this conclusion.

The task of closing the position itself is very heavy, do you really think that there is nothing in the warehouse, just wait for the collection and release of grain statistics?

Wrong, very wrong, the warehouse has to open the doors and windows every day for ventilation, in addition, a part of the grain must be transported out for drying every day, and if you don't ask about it in the warehouse, you can't use it for a year, and the grain in the entire warehouse is bad.

Therefore, the standard allocation for each warehouse is 10 people, and then 30 to 50 temporary workers are recruited from outside every day to dry the grain.

The salary is also very simple, a bucket of grain is a day's work, and a bucket of grain is taken home at the end of the night.

Although there is no real money to give, there are still a lot of people rushing to work.

Even these people have been fixed, and they have a way to exchange these grains for money, for example, when the harvest is over, the family sells more grain, and then eats the grain they take back every day, isn't this different?

"Is there enough money?" Li Yuanji is most worried about money.

But soon, Li Yuanji knew that his worries were completely unnecessary.

"It's enough, the imperial court has a lot of surplus this year, and the main reason is that many projects have been stopped, and these funds have been saved." Huangfu Wuyi said that this was the most comfortable year he had ever lived.

Thanks to the imperial court's intention to slow down and calm down, there are not so many projects, and the funds are saved.

As for road construction, everything in the cement workshop belongs to the imperial court, or in that sentence, you only need to pay wages.

Coupled with a large number of mechanized production, the labor cost has also been reduced by more than half, although it is necessary to purchase vehicles, but these vehicles themselves are made by the workshop of the imperial court, and the cost is not much money at all.

So if you calculate it, building a road now will save you even more money than when you built Luoguan Road back then.

Huangfu Wuyi finally realized the benefits of mechanization, the original work done by ten people, now one person can do it, and the speed of the work is still very fast, and the quality is still very high.

Especially when building roads, the role of a road roller is simply more energetic than a thousand workers, and the effect is leveraged.

"Let's make a plan first!" Li Yuanji nodded, building a warehouse, it doesn't cost much.

The most important thing is that it's good to be an emperor, the whole world is Lao Tzu, you can do whatever you want, and you can take it directly from whatever piece of land you like.

Although for the sake of fame, it will not be operated so directly, but it can also be obtained by replacement, just like picking up cabbage.

Li Yuanji won't have a headache for thousands of warehouses, this money doesn't even need to be paid by the imperial court, and each county can complete it by itself.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing ......" Ma Zhou, who had been on the side, also suddenly spoke.

Li Yuanji glanced at Ma Zhou, a little puzzled.

"The biggest advantage of industrialization and mechanization is that it can greatly liberate the labor force and release more working people, but the problem now is that we have released so many labor forces, but there is no place to place them, although there is no problem at the moment, but after a long time, it will inevitably make the people develop a lazy habit, so how to settle these people?" Ma Zhou asked a little tangled.

The entire imperial court has decided to stop and slow down, but Ma Zhou can't stop, not because he doesn't want to stop, but because he can't stop.

There are too many idle people, although there were many idle people in the past, but the common people go to the fields to cultivate and take care of the farmland, and they have no time to do anything else.

Now you don't need so many people to take care of the farmland, and it doesn't take so long, you can use a tractor to turn the ground right away, and you can also use a tractor to level the land, watering? I'm sorry, but most of the farmland has been built near the canal, and now it can be irrigated, and there is no need to carry a bucket to water it little by little, and the rest is weeding, but weeding is something that the woman of the family can do, and there is no need for the whole family to do this.

I don't have a job, so the question is, if a bunch of idlers are idle for a long time and have nothing to do, will they cause something to happen?

The answer, of course, is yes, but does it need to be asked?

"So what?" Li Yuanji looked at Ma Zhou, of course he knew the solution to the problem, but how to operate it, Li Yuanji was not very clear.

"The minister felt that business should be encouraged, first, to increase tax revenue for the localities, and second, to provide some jobs, even if they use their own families, this can be regarded as solving part of the work problem. At the same time, the imperial court can appropriately open up some technologies to encourage the people's enthusiasm for doing business. ”

Freely? Democracy? Despotic?

Li Yuanji shook his head secretly in his heart, I am afraid that those methods are not suitable now, and the matter of doing business is actually to support the bold and starve to death.

However, after previous experience, there are many people who are bold, but in comparison, the scale is very small.

Simply encouraging people to do business is a bit unrealistic.
