Li Er actually said that Yue was Li Lanshan's close relative, which was surprising.

"Don't talk about this, even if it's already decided, it needs to be arranged. Let's get down to business! Li Yuanxing wanted to end the topic.

Wu Cao shrugged her shoulders and said she had no opinion.

Li Er also sat down officially, and there were exactly the same things in front of the three of them, paper, pens, and water glasses.

"Brother Huang, the first thing my brother wants to say is food!"

"Gorou said!" Li Er picked up the pen and prepared to write down some of the key points that Li Yuanxing said.

Li Yuanxing opened his notepad:

"Brother Huang, let's talk about Datang first. Datang now has a population of less than 12 million people, of which more than 18 and less than 40% are young and strong, which is a hard flaw in the development of Datang. Fortunately, during the Wude years, the Tang Dynasty was much more stable, according to the statistics of the minister's brother Rang Prefecture, Wude three to five years is a high birth year of the population, and then it decreased a lot, and the eight years of Wude are even less than half of the three years of Wude! ”

Li Er, the emperor, was not in vain.

After listening to Li Yuanxing's figures, Li Er said: "Wu Dechu, Taixia Chuping." Naturally, there were many young children, but since the seventh year of Wude, after too many young children were born, there was a shortage of food, and the birth of the population was also limited by reasons such as the Ding tax. ”

"Next, the external population. Eastern Turkic, Indigent, Khitan, Murwei. It can almost add six million people to Datang, and Yiwu's population is too small to even be calculated. Next, there is a big head that needs the attention of the royal brother, and that is Lingnan. The subordinate brother is not referring to the Han people in Lingnan, but to those who are called Nanban! ”

Li Er nodded silently.

As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were already in-depth exchanges with ethnic minorities in Lingnan.

At that time, at least three million people were added to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Now how Datang handles this layer of relationship, then the entire Lingnan is five million people.

"I wrote it down for my brother, this matter needs to be considered in the long run!" Li Er didn't dare to say it in one breath, after all, Lingnan is not a nation, but more than a dozen different large and small ethnic groups, and Feng An's actual control area is not big. Further southwest. At least there are thousands of miles to go deeper.

Li Yuanxing turned the page of the notebook: "Brother Huang, what the next brother wants to say is to feed so many people, what Datang needs most!" ”

"Food!" Li Er responded with a smile.

"The grain minister believes that there are three steps, and the first step is to develop agriculture first. Increase yield per acre. Increase the effective planting area! ”

Li Yuanxing said this. Wu Cao raised his hand like a primary school student, indicating that he had something to say.

Li Er smiled and pointed at Wu Cao: "Mingyue will come and say!" ”

"That's what I'm proposing. The use of renewable energy, first of all, the first one. Biogas digesters must be vigorously developed. The biogas digester is an industrial chain, and the benefits are too many to count. Mingyue has a seal......" Wu Cao said, and went to prepare to turn over her four boxes, Li Er hurriedly stopped: "Mingyue, this proposal is good, Wulang's Qin Wangzhuang is extremely haode." ”

"Shengshang, the utilization rate of biogas by farmers in Qinwangzhuang is only 30%!"

Li Yuanxing also said at this time: "It's better to start transforming a village, and the big test is coming soon." Officials from all over the country will send students to Chang'an to take the exam, so that they can see the biogas with their own eyes, and they can go back to promote it! ”

"Okay, just Igoro!" Li Er himself has not completely seen it, since it is conducive to agriculture, he must support it.

Li Yuanxing continued: "The second step in agriculture is to develop sea fields and lake fields. Without damaging the water surface, fish can be raised and aquatic products can be grown. This yield is also huge, and after the capacity is increased, it can effectively supplement the lack of field production. The most important thing is to be prepared for no food tax! ”

"No food tax!" Li Er is very tempted.

"If you don't collect a grain tax, then you have to collect a commercial tax, and the merchant transports the grain around and sells it, and it is not too much to pay a 10% commercial tax, but he does not collect the tax from the fields. Then the first contradiction is not tax exemption, but tenant farmers and slaves. ”

Li Er nodded, this is a big trouble, and it will not be easy to solve it in a few years.

Nor can it be rushed to solve it.

"This matter is postponed!" Li Er's opinion Li Yuanxing also agreed, he couldn't be in a hurry, and he didn't dare to hurry.

"The third point, the younger brother thinks that the land of Baiyue will be occupied!" Li Yuanxing showed his fangs again, and Li Er's favorite thing to hear was Li Yuanxing's saying that the place must be occupied, and expanding the territory was the greatest achievement of the emperors of the past dynasties.

Li Yuanxing continued:

"Baiyue is good there, what my brother likes is food. They have rice all year round, and the farmers don't take care of the fields at all, and the yield is several times better than that of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in order to protect Datang's grain, it must be occupied. And in addition to grain, sugar, rubber and many other crops are used by tens of thousands of ships every year in Datang! ”

"Occupy, Gorou despite listing Jihua to come!" Lee 200 support.

Fighting, even if fighting, as long as you add size to Datang's map, it is a great thing.

Wu Cao raised his hand again. This will be kung fu, Wu Cao must have a major opinion as long as he raises his hand, Li Er motioned for Wu Cao to speak.

"Fighting Baiyue, the strongest commander is not Li Yuanxing." Wu Cao was very serious.

Li Er daxiao: "Mingyue is going to be handsome!" Mingyue, you say, I must think about it carefully! ”

"Cabinet master!" Wu Cao's words made Li Er stunned, but Li Yuanxing was thinking deeply.

If you want to fight Baiyue, there is really no one who can be stronger than the cabinet master in Datang, the cabinet master's son and his father-in-law died there, and the cabinet master has also been to the front line in person, and has a very in-depth understanding of Annan.

Li Yuanxing was silent, and Li Er was observing.

"What does Gorou think Mingyue said?"

"The younger brother is thinking about how to persuade grandpa to kill less and more slaves. Qin Jiang's wind is a little ruthless. Baiyue is really nothing to grandpa? ”

Wu Cao answered at this time: "Li Lanshan's father died in Baiyue!" ”

Li Yuanxing glared at Wu Cao, and said in his heart, why are you talking nonsense. But Wu Cao continued: "The cabinet master went down to earth privately, and the person was not rescued, but only brought a baby back to heaven, and that was Li Lanshan. Therefore, the cabinet master has studied Baiyue for decades, and Mingyue does not tell lies in front of the saint! ”

Li Er's eyes widened, and he said murderously: "It's so decided, Emperor Xian is the marshal of the expedition to the south, and the matter of Baiyue is fully handled!" ”

Li Er is the most protective person.

Even if it is for the Li royal family, you have to give Baiyue a good look. Even more Shang Wu Cao said that there was a personal vendetta first, and a famous general had studied Baiyue for decades, so he must have already had a first-class tactic. It is definitely not inferior to the plan for the Turks in the box brought by Li Yuanxing.

Therefore, the virtuous emperor Li Xin is definitely the best choice.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "With the ability of the cabinet master to lead the army, there is no place in the world that he can't fight." But Datang still has to train a light commander of the era, so there must be an auxiliary jihua! ”

"Don't worry about this Gorou, I know it for my brother!"

How strong is this virtuous emperor, Li Er is also looking forward to it, just at this age, how can a person who has studied the art of war for hundreds of years be despised by him!

Li Yuanxing continued to flip through his notebook: "Brother Huang, today's zuihou discussion is for industry. Mingyue has a lot to worry about the environment, Li Lanshan can help her in this regard, and her brother doesn't care. ”

Li Er asked curiously: "What is this Li Lanshan, what is he good at?" ”

Li Yuanxing did not answer, and signaled that Wu Cao would answer this question.

Wu Cao sighed:

"I'm a student of wealth, and she's a student of history. Those who study wealth must know all kinds of things, and only when they understand can they make their wealth move. Li Lanshan studied history, she studied not only the history of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Great Food and the Roman Empire. Those who study history should also learn people's livelihood, agriculture, wealth, etiquette, music, poetry, and lyrics. Moreover, she studied history, and the history of war is also history, so she understands soldiers, even no less than Li Yuanxing, especially the history of soldiers in all dynasties, and she has studied the history of Chinese and foreign soldiers. ”

Li Erxin said, how many books do you have to read?

When Li Er asked the doubts in his heart, Wu Cao replied:

"I have read about 8,000 sets of books, with more than a billion words, and I can never forget them. Li Lanshan probably has about 20% more memory than me, and she reads more books than me. Of the three of us, Li Yuanxing is the worst, he has read two or three thousand books at most, and it would be good to have 100 million words. ”

"Nonsense, I've read at least a billion words!" Li Yuanxing retorted.

Wu Cao smiled:

"If the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is like that, it will be counted, I believe it. The ones you read that don't beat food are millions of words each, and you are embarrassed to make up the number of words for that thing! ”

Li Yuanxing was dumbfounded and smiled awkwardly. Li Yuanxing knew that Wu Cao still saved face, and only said the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I didn't say that I read novels, but read fast food literature that was millions of words at every turn.

Li Er was loud, and he was happy to see Li Yuanxing embarrassed.

Li Er has some expectations, the cabinet master, the virtuous emperor, and a talented girl no less than Wu Cao have come to Datang.

"Keep talking about industry!" Li Yuanxing hurriedly pulled the topic back.

"Datang is now almost entirely a military industry, an industry that serves the military. The younger brother thought that the people's livelihood industry had begun to develop, such as match factories, paper mills, civilian pharmaceutical factories, flour, soap, daily necessities, etc., ......" Li Yuanxing said, and said to Wu Cao: "These factories, or you can help Jihua!" ”

Wu Cao turned his head: "No matter, you just want to work hard for me." Li Lanshan is here, and she can't be idle! ”

"Crowning Li Lanshan for my brother and princess!" Li Er smiled, and then said to Wu Cao: "Mingyue is a third-class princess, she was given a fifth-class first, and then she will be added if she has merits!" ”

Li Yuanxing was obviously a little unnatural, Wu Cao's eyes were sharp, and he immediately yelled at Li Yuanxing: "What are you hiding from us?" ”

It's good to say that we, Wu Cao obviously put her and Li Er in the same camp.

"I said, you don't mess around!" Li Yuanxing was a little nervous. (To be continued......)
