After lunch, the pilgrimage will continue.

Compared with the morning, everyone at this time was obviously refreshed.

But this is also normal, firstly, they are full of food and drink, and secondly, they have all been rewarded, and there is no reason to droop a face.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The credit has also been paid, and then it's time to talk about business." ”

"Your Highness, but there are orders, and the ministers dare not disobey." When Puxi heard this, he immediately stood up and said.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has been slaughtered once, and there is really nothing to be dissatisfied with.

When the ministers heard this, they also stood up one by one and said in unison: "Your Highness, but there are orders, and the ministers dare not obey." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian nodded.

That's what he wants.

Even though everyone knows that there is some disagreement in etiquette with such a big seal this morning, but today's Ming Dynasty is indeed a grass platform team, and everyone can't understand many things in etiquette. Second, the current Ming Dynasty is indeed Li Chengqian's hall, and no one dares to make a mistake in front of him.

Whether it is civil rule or martial arts, no one in the Ming Dynasty has been able to beat it!

Therefore, no one dared to object to Li Chengqian's reward as he wanted to award it.

"Today's Ming court is not what it used to be." Li Chengqian said, "Compared with two years ago, my Ming court is also on the right track, which is why this king will seal the world today."

After all, a dynasty has to get a lot of things on track.

And Zhongqing has followed this king to overcome obstacles and go all the way to today, which is also what Zhongqing deserves. ”

"Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." The ministers gave up.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "Since the Ming Dynasty has been on the right track, what do you think of the future of the Ming Dynasty?"

Although my Ming Dynasty is now dominant in the Western Regions, it does not mean that my Ming Dynasty can relax up and down.

It may be too much to say that internal and external troubles may be over, but there are indeed many problems.

Have you ever seen these problems? ”

"What Your Highness said is very true." As soon as Pu Xiru heard Li Chengqian's words, he immediately stood up, as the first chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't want to end up in the name of a corpse vegetarian meal, as early as before, he had carefully pondered the existing problems of the Ming Dynasty, at this time Li Chengqian asked, he immediately stood up and said, "Now my Ming population is millions, but due to the past few years of natural disasters, plus the continuous wars, although my Ming has been collecting food from neighboring countries, but this is by no means a long-term solution."

If in the future, neighboring countries follow the example of Datang and ban grain exports, which will be an absolutely devastating blow to our Ming Dynasty. ”

"What the left servant said is very true." Wang Xuance immediately stood up and said, "Although my Ming Dynasty is now vast, Weichen has made several envoys, and what I saw along the way, but there are no acres of good land, and how to be self-sufficient is my Ming Dynasty's top priority." ”

When it came to the food issue, everyone nodded their heads.

This is really true, in the past, the people in this land lived on nomadic herding, but in recent years, natural disasters and wars have dealt a serious blow to animal husbandry.

It is easier said than done to return to previous levels in a short period of time.

That's why no one mentions it, because as everyone knows, it's not an easy thing to do.

"The people live on food." Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and said, "Solving the grain problem is indeed our top priority, but Wang Shangshu is also right, although my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, there is indeed very little land suitable for farming, and animal husbandry has also suffered heavy losses due to natural disasters and wars for many years.

If we can't solve the most basic food and clothing problems of the people, I'm afraid that it won't be long before my Ming Dynasty will be left behind. ”

"Your Highness, although my Ming Dynasty's cultivated land is limited, we can make a fuss about the yield per mu." Eldest Sun Chong obviously did his homework in advance, and immediately said, "Weichen still remembers that when His Royal Highness invited several county guards to a banquet in Watering River City, he taught them a method of making manure.

Why don't we implement this law in the whole Ming Dynasty?

Although my Daming has limited arable land, it is not that there is no arable land to plant. ”

"The eldest grandson is right." Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "Since cultivated land is limited, then we will find a way to increase the yield per mu of cultivated land. ”

Although the position of the eldest grandson Chong is still that of the Ministry of Rites, there is still a slight difference.

In the past, the eldest grandson Chong was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, ranking third in the Ministry of Rites, and now he has moved to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Of course, no one was stupid enough to call the eldest grandson right squire before, which is the same as the deputy position in later generations, and few people who call the director of so-and-so have to add a deputy word in front.

"But that's not enough." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he added, "My Ming Dynasty now has millions of people, although I don't know the exact number, but if we only rely on our own little land, if we want to feed so many people, even if we barely support it, what if we encounter another famine?

In the final analysis, my Ming Dynasty's ability to resist pressure is too poor.

It's better to make a few more preparations.

As the old saying goes, the official is the parent of the people, but this king thinks that this is not enough, the official is more like the patriarch of a big family, and the patriarch of the family has the responsibility to protect his own people.

Therefore, this king believes that as an official, when he is in peace, he should be prepared for danger, and he should not complain that there is no way to deal with it when disaster comes. ”

"What Your Highness said is very true." Pu Xiru immediately said, "Your Highness, Weichen, please play." ”

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Wechen asks His Royal Highness to re-implement the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty." "Although we now estimate the specific population of the Ming Dynasty, we don't know the specific population composition.

Thinking about the beginning, we are all clear about the total population of the Ming Dynasty, how many men, how many women, how many old people, and how many children.

At the beginning, Weichen was also able to coordinate various matters in the household department when he understood this foundation.

With these detailed data, the ministers can be more accurate, even if it is to prepare grain and grass. ”

Hearing Pu Xiruo say this, Li Chengqian nodded, Pu Xiruo obviously ate the benefits of data.

But don't say it, Li Chengqian still agrees with his idea.

Indeed, now that the Ming Dynasty has annexed Tuyuhun and the Western Turks, it is time to promote the household registration system again.

Weichen seconded. Li Qinjian also immediately stood up and said, "Although my Daming is on the right track now, I still live as a tribal group in many places.

These tribes are large or small, the big ones are tens of thousands of people, and the small ones are hundreds of people, which is a hidden danger for the long-term peace and stability of my Ming Dynasty.

If it is like the implementation of the household registration system in Daming again, it can solve many hidden dangers.

Moreover, without a perfect household registration system, it will be difficult to implement many policies in the future. ”

"But in this way, will it cause many tribes not to understand?" Ashina Ni said, "Although we have good intentions, but for the common people, they may not understand this kindness, right?" ”

Although Ashina Ni didn't know what the specific implementation policy of this household registration system was, as soon as he heard this, he immediately understood that this policy was definitely aimed at their Western Turks.

You must know that there are still tens of thousands of tribes in the Ming Dynasty, and they are the only Western Turks.

So this policy, in his opinion, was directed against their Western Turks.

As the representative of the Western Turks in the court, he naturally would not let this policy pass easily.

"Ashina Shangshu doesn't know anything." Pu Xiruo immediately smiled and said, "The so-called household registration system is just a census of the population, which is beneficial and harmless to our court or local officials."

No matter what happens, we can make the most reasonable arrangements according to the specific data in hand.

This has been verified on the previous Chishui source.

As for the big tribes, we haven't changed their meaning, and their people can be summed up in the name of their patriarch.

Moreover, this is also beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, my Daming household department obeyed the order of His Royal Highness, and has begun to open the Daming School in the five counties and thirteen mansions of the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years, and if you want to enter the Daming School, the prerequisite is to have a Ming household registration.

There is also Daming Hospital, His Royal Highness said in the past, Daming Hospital for the people who hold the Ming Dynasty, the diagnosis fee is a penny, but this is only for the people who hold my Daming household registration.

Moreover, the benefits of holding my Daming household registration are not limited to these?

Slowly, Ashina Shangshu will understand what the old man said today. ”

He is also an old and cunning man now, and having said that, he will definitely follow the example of the last time, taking each household as a unit, and all the benefits issued by the imperial court will be according to each household.

In this way, the people of the large tribes were encouraged to break away from the tribe and set up their own doors.

Although in Li Chengqian's view, the greatest benefit of the hukou system is to facilitate understanding of the national situation, in Pu Xiruo's view, the greatest benefit of the hukou system is to divide these tribes.

He came from the tribe, and naturally knew how much of a hidden danger this tribal system existed for a dynasty, and now, as the chief of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wanted to solve this problem.

Ashina Ni didn't know what he was thinking, even if he wasn't worried that the clan would turn their backs on the tribe and set up their own doors, but the population count itself was unacceptable to him.

In this way, the overall strength of the Western Turks has not been exposed to Li Chengqian's eyes?

How many men, how many women, how many old people, how many children......

With such data, Li Chengqian could easily determine how many string controllers there were in the Western Turks, which was not the result he wanted to see.

"But in this way, it will definitely cost the people and money." Ashina said, "After all, this is a big project, without using tens of thousands of people, it takes more than a year, how can there be a result?" ”

"Ashina Shangshu laughed, the household registration system was once implemented in my Ming Dynasty." Li Qinjian said with a smile when he heard this, "At that time, I was only living in Chishuiyuan, with a population of more than 300,000, and there were detailed numbers of men and women, and it only took ten days.

This time, even if the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is reformulated, the official is confident that within two months, there will be a detailed number, and there is no need for the imperial court to appoint another official, only a warrant from His Royal Highness. ”

For this, Li Qinjian is very confident.

He really values that population data, after all, he has just moved to the head of the household department now, so he naturally wants to make some achievements, if he has detailed data of each city, then he can do more.

Moreover, even if something happens, he has more room to mediate.

However, he said that Ashina had nothing to say, and he wanted to stop it, but he really didn't know what excuse to use to stop it.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Formulating a household registration system is indeed a top priority, so according to what Li Shangshu said, this matter will be handed over to the household department." However, the household department can easily determine how much arable land there is in my Ming Dynasty, speaking of which, this king still does not know how many acres of land there is in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Wechen takes orders." Li Qinjian bowed down and said.

Ashina Ni didn't say anything, he knew that he couldn't stop it after all, firstly, because he had no reason to stop it, and secondly, because he didn't even have a helper in the court.

"But this still hasn't solved the food problem, Zuo Servant shoots, you can discuss it with the household department again after the next court." Li Chengqian said again.

Indeed, in the final analysis, the food problem has not been solved to this day.

After Puxi received the will, Li Chengqian asked again: "What about the Ministry of Industry?" What are the plans of the Ministry of Industry this year? ”

Li Chengqian was originally going to let Yi Yuanxi move to Shangshuling, but the Ministry of Industry was not as good as the Ministry of Households, and he really couldn't find someone who could rest assured to take over.

"Back to Your Highness." Yi Yuanxi said, "Wechen has calculated before that it is extremely difficult for the people of Daming to rely on cattle, sheep or crops to support their families this year, so Wechen still plans to provide them with as many jobs as possible to support their families."

However, the workshop may not need so many people, even if it is added to the mine, it will not need so many people, so Weichen thought about taking this opportunity to repair the road between the five counties and thirteen mansions.

In this way, the people will have a livelihood to support their families, and the galloping roads of my Ming counties and governments can also be put on the agenda as early as possible, which will be beneficial and harmless in the future. ”

As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he knew very well that the galloping of the counties and provinces must be the task of his Ministry of Industry, if he did not take advantage of the current stage to solve this problem.

When the lives of ordinary people really ease up in the future, it will not be so easy to find so many people to build a gallop road, unless the people are recruited.

But if you don't say whether Li Chengqian agrees or not, even if Li Chengqian agrees, it will be a job to offend people at that time.

Therefore, if he can take advantage of the current situation to repair the Chidao, firstly, he will have merit, secondly, it will solve the problem of the people's livelihood, and thirdly, it will avoid some troubles in the future.

In other words, he had really thought it through.

Hearing him say this, Li Chengqian also nodded with great approval, and said: "This is the reason why this king still needs Yi Shangshu to sit in the Ministry of Industry, and with Yi Shangshu in charge of the Ministry of Industry, this king is very relieved."

Indeed, this year is not destined to be a bumper year, it is right to take precautions, in a special period, if the people do not have the means to support themselves, then we have to work hard to create opportunities for the people to have the ability to support themselves.

Isn't it better to work for work than to provide direct disaster relief? ”

As far as this year is concerned, the Ming Dynasty does have another disaster year, which is helpless.

Animal husbandry can't recover in the short term, and it is even more foolish to expect to dig in the field, so Yi Yuanxi's move is very much in line with Li Chengqian's wishes.

"Your Highness is right." Yi Yuanxi immediately said, "The people of my Ming Dynasty are industrious, as long as they are given a job to live and live, they can live a good life." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, whether it is to provide relief through work or to build a gallop road, this is Li Chengqian's established policy.

There is a saying in later generations that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Li Chengqian quite recognized the power of this sentence.

"When it comes to galloping, Yishang Shu has to pay more attention." Li Chengqian asked, "Where is the military department?" ”

PS: Coincidentally, today last year was the first day that the book was uploaded, and today, the book is also considered to be a year old!

Well, I wrote it for a whole year, 2.14 million words, and an average of 6,000 per day, which is not too diligent, but at least it is not lazy, and it is more or less an explanation to everyone.

Thank you, when you get better, thank you every day!
