"4669056787", what does that mean? 4,669,056,787.

This is the total population of the Tang Empire.

That is to say, in these nine years, in these tragic nine years, almost every province has been at war, and every province has had the tragedy of cannibalism, however, in these nine years, the world has grown from more than 3.9 billion to more than 4.6 billion. Compared with the 20 years of prosperity, it is only 3.8 billion to 4 billion.

Is population growth a boom? Definitely not. If you think that population growth is a prosperous era, then you must have come from an extremely terrible, barbaric end times, even more tragic than our world.

Emperor Li Hongsi asked, "Is this ...... Is it accurate? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Almost." I mean, absolutely. This is a count of millions of household department members one by one, one by one, one number at a time. It was really touching that the members of the household department overcame unimaginable difficulties, even if they had no money, they brought their own dry food to count these figures - just like faith. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng also said: "We have designed a system for special population statistics, and people have no reason to falsely report or conceal it, so this is true and accurate data." ”

The emperor asked, "It took you more than a year and millions of gold dollars to calculate a total population?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "What's more. We've figured out everything you want to know. We know all the information of every person in the empire of 4.6 billion people, and we know all the information of every province, every county, every county, every township, every village, every group, every family, and every person in the empire. We know their hobbies, their organization, their thoughts, and we monitor their every move. We know their past and present, and we can extrapolate their future. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng on the side said: "Information is power, and power is information." That's power. ”

The emperor looked at the calm royal computer, then looked down at the number in his hand, and said, "What power?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng swallowed his saliva and said: "When we understand the world, it is like creating this world." The world is ours, we control it, nature controls power. ”

Emperor: "How do you grasp it?" We know how many people there are in the world, what is the name of each one, and what is the use? ”

The question of the emperor is really interesting. I remember in my hometown, countless people said to me, "Do you have an egg for reading books?" Do you know what is the use of how many moons Saturn has? Can you change steamed buns to eat? Can you marry a daughter-in-law? "Now, they won't ask that question, because almost all the two million people in Luobei are dead. Ha ha.

Zhang Qiangsheng frowned, thought for a while, and said: "If you have information, you will get power; If you have power, you will get information; When power and information are in possession at the same time, it will be passed on for eternity. It's hard to say which is the first to exist with information and power, it's a chicken-and-egg question, however, fortunately, we don't have that problem. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng paused, glanced at the people around him, and said, "I think we only have information now, not power. Although His Majesty is now the Son of Heaven, his strength is still not good. ”

When he had said this, the whole hall looked at him.

However, the emperor did not say anything.

Zhang Qiangsheng continued:

"Luckily, we have the information.

As for power, take it one step at a time.

We don't even have money now, and the money of the imperial court officials is borrowed from private help. Not to mention the rest of the provinces. The imperial court didn't even garrison troops in the provinces, and the officials' salaries were not given by Chang'an, so how could they listen to us?

Your Majesty, I have a plan that I would like Your Majesty to approve.

First of all, all the land and real estate in Gyeonggi will be confiscated and then auctioned, and a large amount of money can be obtained. The imperial court also has many palaces in the provinces, and these palaces are occupied by the provincial officials, but as long as they give the imperial court a sum of money, the imperial court will give them - anyway, it is not ours now.

We can use the money to rebuild the Forbidden Army.

We first implemented the dark tax system and household registration system in our territory, abolished the private gangs, and controlled everything.

After that, the long-distance and close attack are played out step by step. Step by step, the Gyeonggi system was implemented little by little.

When we truly unify the world, we will rebuild the Ministry of Thought, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Survival, just like what is written in the Book of the Patriarchs, to eliminate all heresies, and the billions of people in the world will be like one person, doing what we want them to do, saying what we want them to say, and thinking what we want them to think. ”

After Zhang Qiangsheng finished speaking, he looked at the emperor proudly.

The Emperor's face darkened. The emperor frowned: "Isn't it good now?" I've read the allegiance letters of the provinces. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Mongolia, the Western Regions, and Jinling don't recognize us as the Tang Dynasty. ”

Emperor: "The Western Regions and Mongolia did not recognize the mainland. As for Jinling, it's just a city. Liu Xingchao is a eunuch, and he is seriously ill, and he is in his last few years. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Even if you don't count Jinling in the Western Regions of Mongolia, the rest of the provinces are not Chang'an." ”

The emperor said in an aggravated tone: "Didn't they say that they all obeyed orders in Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng said: "Then we say that the governors of the provinces will be removed and the army will be supervised, will they obey?" ”

Emperor: "They are loyal to Chang'an, why should I remove them?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Isn't power just about letting others do what they don't want to do?" ”

Emperor: "What are you talking about?" When others do something wrong, we punish them, that's power! ”

Zhang Qiangsheng took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is really not called power. Not to mention the provincial governor and the army, we can't even remove the little county officials. ”

Emperor: "Why should I evacuate?" Do as I say! Didn't I give all the holy decrees? ”

Zhang Qiangsheng whispered: "Your Majesty is saying that the time is not ripe now?" Wait for us ......"

The Emperor shouted: "Enough! ”

There was silence all around, save for the crackling of the royal computer.

Emperor: "I don't have any conspiracy at all. Don't go around telling people that I'm playing some big game. What I am doing now is what I want to do, and I will continue to do so in the future! ”

Zhang Qiangsheng swallowed his spit and continued to speak.

Emperor: "Alright! You've done a good job, but that's the end of it. Don't mess around. ”

The Emperor turned and walked away.

The people in the inner court looked at each other.

Zhang Qiangsheng: "What does the emperor think?" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "He doesn't want to toss." ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "He doesn't want to toss, but the people under him can toss." I heard that Lingnan and Liaodong already know how to make explosives, and now they are studying how to make tanks. ”

Zhao Yuyang sighed.

The news of the empire's population reaching forty-six billion has long been spread.

The next morning, in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Mingyang was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, there are too many people in the world. I've heard that many women have given birth to more than a dozen children, how can this be done? In the long run, the country will not be a country! I propose to rebuild the Second Survival Department. ”

Park Quan'an, who was next to him, sneered and said, "It's all the fault of the Ministry of Survival!" I propose that all two million people in the Ministry of Survival be executed. ”

Park Quanan is the person of the first empress Park Qinghong, and he represents the Liaodong forces.

Prime Minister Yang Mingyang is not only the Minister of Law, but also the Minister of Survival. He is a representative of the Gyeonggi people.

Now Chang'an is a battle for hegemony between Liaodong people and Gyeonggi people, and Liaodong people have the upper hand. Empress Park Qinghong is the backstage, and the commander of the Liaodong Army, Park Quanan, is the pawn. Yang Mingyang, as a representative of the Gyeonggi natives, naturally couldn't bear it. So they fought on almost every issue.

Yang Mingyang was just about to speak, when Meng Huajian, the deputy head of Confucianism in the back row, stood up and said, "Haha, aren't you the Minister of Survival?" Just commit suicide, so that there will be one less person in the world, and you can also contribute to the world and set an example. ”

Meng Huajian is now the deputy head of Confucianism, and at the same time the representative of Kong Zhilun, the royal priest, the head of Confucianism, the governor of Shandong, and the overseer of Shandong in Chang'an. Shandong people are generally honest and wooden, but Meng Huajian and Kong Zhilun are very rebellious, as if they are genetically mutated.

Yang Mingyang was about to get angry, but a man in his thirties stood up behind him and said: "I remember that the prime minister himself said that when the population of the world will exceed 4 billion, he will be the first to commit suicide. Haha, I remember! Why isn't the prime minister dead? ”

This person is Wang Weijin. He was also an old man who participated in Zhu Honghua's court meeting back then. He is the seventh son of the head of the Wang family in Shanxi and is currently Shanxi's representative in Chang'an. When Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, was the most powerful in the court, he dared to scold him in the court, not to mention today's prime minister!

Yang Mingyang almost jumped up, he said: "This shows that we are doing a good job!" Did I do well, but is there anything wrong? What is the Law? The law is not retroactive! Do you understand? If you don't understand, don't be foolish if you don't understand. In the past, when there were few people in the country, there should be more children; Now that the country is crowded, it must be controlled. In the past, the survival department was in charge, and now the second survival department is in charge, these are all natural things. ”

Meng Huajian: "Are you full of food and support the housekeeper?" Why do you want to care if people have children or not? Which green onion are you! Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, what are you among them? Where is your place to speak? ”

Yang Mingyang: "I am the emperor's prime minister, I am the patriarch of the world, I can take care of it!" I am responsible for the country, the emperor, and the people! There are enough people in the world to live for 4 billion people, and if there are too many people and not enough resources, everyone will starve to death! ”

Wang Weijin: "! Why do you say that? You say four billion is four billion? I also said 40 billion. ”

Yang Mingyang hesitated and looked for it in the crowd. He searched and searched and found Zhao Yuyang. Yang Mingyang pointed at Zhao Yuyang and asked: "The Senate and the Book of the Elders both say so, don't they?" ”

People were staring at Zhao Yuyang.

Zhao Yuyang said unhappily: "Hmm! ”

Yang Mingyang said loudly: "Look! It's been like this for so many years! Sometimes people give birth to too much, and they want to eat people! Do you understand? If you don't understand, go back and read more history books! Look at real history books, don't read fake ones. ”

Wang Weijin said loudly again: "Then what are you going to do?" Homicide? You threw people in jail? ”

Yang Mingyang: "I don't kill people, I just admonish them." For the sake of the country, we must have fewer children. ”

Wang Weijin: "What if people don't listen? ”

Yang Mingyang: "Continue to admonish." ”

Wang Weijin: "Still listening? ”

Yang Mingyang: "How can you not listen?" ”

Wang Weijin: "Why should people listen to you? ”

Yang Mingyang: "If you don't listen to the law, you are committing a crime!" ”

Wang Weijin: "Haha, I still have to kill people!" ”

Yang Mingyang: "I killed people to save more people. ”

Wang Weijin: "Hypocrite! ”

Yang Mingyang was furious and pointed at Wang Weijin: "You...... You...... What a guts! ”

There was silence in the Tang Hall for a while.

Zhang Qiangsheng, director of the Secret Division: "The Law Department is too self-deceiving, stealing people and setting up archways. ”

People laughed and looked at Prime Minister Yang Mingyang.

Yang Mingyang glared at Zhang Qiangsheng angrily.

Zhang Qiangsheng: "The reputation of the Law Department and the Second Survival Department is too stinky, and it has affected the imperial court. The Ministry of Law has formulated a bunch of rotten laws, canceling the rights of superborn people, and not daring to kill people, and making people scolded all day long. The Second Survival Department does some fetal sterilization all day long, and also robs the grain steak house and petunishes or something, which is too embarrassing. You go out and listen, everyone is scolding the court. ”

People nodded.

Yang Mingyang: "The law is for people to obey, not for people to praise. ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "The Law Department and the Second Survival Department are weak and too slow. Now there are 4.6 billion people in the world, not to mention that people only have 10 births now, even if they only have two, the population will still increase. ”

Yang Mingyang said to Zhang Qiangsheng: "Then what should you do? Is it not possible for my ministry of the Law to do it, but for your secret office? ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Your department is too soft, people will scold you!" ”

Yang Mingyang: "What about your hardness?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Cut through the mess quickly, die early and reincarnate early." ”

Yang Mingyang: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Either ban childbirth until the world's population drops to 4 billion, or set up death camps and throw a million people into them every day." I've calculated that a few years will be enough......"

After he said this, the whole hall pointed at him and cursed!

Zhang Qiangsheng: "Long pain is better than short pain." You say kill children, I think it's better to kill adults together, it's a hundred. ”

……

People don't scold the prime minister now, pointing at Zhang Qiangsheng and scolding.

Prime Minister Yang Mingyang turned around and said to the emperor on the dragon chair, "What is Your Majesty's opinion?" ”

Everyone looked at the emperor.

The emperor is everything. A word from the Emperor would put an end to all discussion.

The early spring sun is very warm, and the emperor is basking in the sun! The Emperor was squinting, trying to stay awake. The emperor soon found out that everyone was looking at him. He stirred up his mind and said, "Well, let's do it." Retreat. ”

The emperor is gone.

But how is this done?
