Li Shimin didn't plan to do anything about Tibet.

It takes too long and too slow, and it's not his style.

Before, I didn't know that Tubo didn't pay attention to it, so it had a chance to bite the teeth of the Central Plains, but now that it is known, there are naturally many ways to solve it.

And Li Jing, the general manager of the Qinghai Road March, naturally knew about it, and Li Shimin was very relieved.

Therefore, now the Tang Emperor still focuses more on his eyes:

This year's imperial examination is over.

The scale is larger, there are more categories of exams, and the most important thing is to add a vague name system based on what the junior Wen Mang said.

The benefits of the fame system are obvious, so the children of Hansu who went to Chang'an to take the exam are all praised, and the resistance to this system is as weak as Li Shimin expected, so weak that it can be ignored.

After all, now Jieli lives in the palace city and dances for the Tang Dynasty, and those who jump out to oppose it at this time will inevitably weigh their own weight.

In addition, the family now lives in Qilu and is quite far away from Guanzhong, not to mention stabbing Li Shimin in the face, even if it is quite difficult to transmit the voice to Chang'an.

Of course, there is another important reason that Li Shimin has not yet started against the shade of the door, and for the vast majority of people, inheriting his father's shade is a more effortless choice.

For Li Shimin, the next step in the reform of government officials has been quite clear in front of him.

Just like a blacksmith wrought iron, these Hansu children who are based on their talents are the best iron embryos.

What he has to do is to patiently and carefully forge this iron embryo, and wait for it to be refined into steel, so that he can sweep the world for his reliance!

But thinking of this, Li Shimin remembered Fang Du and the others.

If it is said that the children of Han Su are good embryos, then Fang Du can be called Longquan Tai'a.

It's just that this Longquan Tai'a seems to be quite busy lately......

But as soon as this thought floated up, an attendant came to report it, saying that Liang Guogong and Cai Guogong had jointly met him.

The two important ministers came at the same time, and Li Shimin instantly smelled something important, and his expression became unconsciously solemn.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are both princes of the country, and now they are the prime ministers, so it doesn't have to be so cumbersome to meet the Son of Heaven.

After sending the Yellow Gate to report, you can go straight in, and then the Yellow Gate also came back to report, saying that everyone was received in the Ganlu Palace.

Now the renovation of Taiji Palace has already been completed, but what makes the ministers slightly puzzled is that unless today's son meets the court, he still stays in the Ganlu Hall most of the time.

Fang Du naturally knows why.

After stepping into the Manna Palace, the most conspicuous position facing the door is a framed scroll, on which is Li Shimin's transcription of "Qin Women's Yin".

Even if they have long been able to memorize it, for Fang Du and the others, every time they read it, their hearts are like knives.

His Majesty's intention to hang it here as a self-warning could not be more obvious.

In addition, the "Land Territory Map", the "East China Sea Island Map" and the "Earth Map" are hung in the most conspicuous position in the hall.

"Hundred Systems of Crossbow Machines", "Broken City Ordnance", "Never Night Chang'an", "Statue of Tota Heavenly King" and so on are hung everywhere.

It is no wonder that His Majesty often stops here to look at these many images, and may be able to give birth to all kinds of ideas.

And many of them can be regarded as shocking, and it is not suitable to hang them in the Taiji Hall.

Looking left and right, Fang Xuanling sighed a lot, and the scenes of the later generations often appeared in his dreams, which also made him linger, and after waking up, he was more confident in his official duties.

Du Ruhui was the most emotional-if there was no light curtain, how could I say it in the future?

Oh yes, if there was no light curtain, he might have died by now.

The little feeling did not last long in the battle, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui personally presented a fold after meeting His Majesty:

"Keming and I spent more than a month sorting out the inventory of Huxian County, please take a look."

Looking at Fang Xuanling's solemn expression, Li Shimin was also a little nervous, and took it with his own hands as he also solemnly.

This letter is not the same as what Li Shimin has seen in the past, and when it is opened, it is a dense string of numbers.

Huxian is set up in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, located in the southwest of Chang'an but forty or fifty miles, because of the proximity to the capital, many of its household registers have been preserved in Chang'an, these data have been completely preserved in the Tang Dynasty after the Sui.

The beginning of the fold is to take the first five years of the Sui Dynasty as an example, listing in detail the number of acres of cultivated land in Hu County, the number of households registered, and then through simple calculations to obtain about how many acres of fertile land each household has.

Immediately afterwards, according to this method, the compromises continued to list in detail the three years of the Great Cause, the first year of Wude, and the second year of Zhenguan.

The number of acres of fertile land in each household in the four periods was clearly written, and there was no need to know how to calculate it, and Li Shimin could gradually see the problem.

The three years of the great cause of the former Sui Dynasty can be called a flourishing time, but the fertile land owned by each household is not as much as in the Kaihuang period.

And Li Shimin knows in his heart that this is just paper data, and there is no list of more complicated land annexation issues, but in short, the great cause was very prosperous before the Sui Dynasty, but the people were hungry?

If the fields are not enough, they will not be able to eat enough, and if the people are not full, the people will be in turmoil, and Li Shimin will take a faint breath.

This is a new perspective, which makes his body tremble a little, and as an emperor, he can see at a glance that this is a weapon for governing the country!

What made Li Shimin breathe a sigh of relief was that the comparison between the first year of Wude and the second year of Zhenguan that was listed in the Tang Dynasty was not so tragic.

In the second year of Zhenguan, compared with the first year of Wude, the number of acres of cultivated land is increasing, the number of households is also slowly increasing, and the number of acres of fertile land roughly owned by each household is also increasing.

But Li Shimin also knows that there is a gap of more than 20 years between the first year of the emperor and the third year of the Great Cause, and the first year of Wude to the second year of Zhenguan, but it is only 11 years, and it is not fair to compare it with it.

But even so, Li Shimin faintly smelled a not very good smell.

This county is too close to Chang'an, so Li Shimin is also very clear about its geography, although it is adjacent to the waterlogged and fertile land, but the number of fertile fields in this county will always be endless.

But is there an end to the growth of the number of households? The answer is obvious.

This is the contradiction between the limited cultivated land and the unlimited households! Li Shimin's heart was like Huang Zhongdalu, and he immediately remembered what a trap that horse was.

The figures listed by Fang Du and the others are not complicated, and even such comparisons have appeared in the twists and turns of other courtiers.

But it's just one more step of calculation, and it's so intuitive! He is the king of science!

"Xuanling Keming, Yu Tang is a great achievement."

Li Shimin said such a sentence as if admiring, causing the two to wave their hands again and again.

With this inexplicable mood, Li Shimin turned the page and saw more complex numbers.

Is this really a twist? But why can't I read it?

But what is written on it is a word of understanding after all, and Li Shimin calmed down and carefully considered the meaning word by word, and read it very slowly.

In the process, an attendant came in, quietly held the lamp, and then silently withdrew.

The sound of the conversation between the crown prince Chengqian and the prince Tai was mixed with the noisy voice of the prince from far and near, and arrived outside the gate of the Ganlu Palace.

But then after talking softly with the chamberlain, the three princes retreated silently.

In this process, Fang Du and the others stood meticulously, occasionally looking up at the "Qin Women's Yin" hanging in the hall, this framed calligraphy was reflected by candlelight, as if the words were crying blood.

The food delivered here by the imperial dining room had also been taken away and heated twice, and it was not until the waiter was about to ask for the third time that the Tang Emperor let out a long sigh:

"I see."

"The richer the country, the poorer the people."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui bowed together regardless of physical fatigue.

This is also what they admired about the young emperor.

Although no one dared to say it at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, I don't know how many people planned to see the jokes of this Tiance admiral in their hearts.

After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to rule the world by relying on the advantages of soldiers alone.

But after a few years, the former Tiance calmly got down from the horseback and began to rule the world in an orderly manner.

It's not that you are born to know, it's just that you are diligent and eager to learn.

In the face of the attitude of Fang Du and the others, Li Shimin also solemnly saluted the two ministers.

Immediately put this not thin fold into his arms, at this time Fang Jue was hungry in his stomach, and hurriedly beckoned the two to eat together.

After spending half a day here, the tiredness on the faces of the two courtiers after the meal was very obvious, and Li Shimin did not keep it, and ordered the chamberlain to send the two princes back to the house.

Then the excited Li Shimin transferred to the harem and went straight to the eldest grandson queen, and couldn't wait to share his thoughts with Guanyin.

"The richer the country, the poorer the people? How does this work? ”

Empress Eldest Sun was puzzled.

"If there is no war, how many children can a family have?"

Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

Empress Changsun still understands this:

"In the event of war, the people's families are poor, and they will choose to give birth to children to increase their labor, but it is difficult for female babies to live, and there are many acts of drowning female babies, and eventually a family may have three sons."

"If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, most ordinary people will raise three to five sons and two to three daughters in a household."

Li Shimin nodded and continued to ask rhetorically:

"That'...... What about a hundred years after the peaceful and prosperous era? ”
