Chapter 905: The Population of the Tang Dynasty

The people who fled were originally to escape the military disaster, and they were not the most vicious people, and the place where they could take refuge must be a place where the terrain was treacherous and not conducive to communication with the outside world.

How could there be a large amount of arable land in these places, and they would only be able to live by hiding here.

Now that Datang is willing to bring them under his command again, and also allocate land to them, who doesn't want to come out?

So these people are naturally willing.

In fact, these government soldiers who kept drilling into the mountains and forests had another task, which was to record the mountains and rivers, compare them with the map that Li Ke took out, and then make more detailed corrections to the map.

To be honest, for large-scale mountains and rivers, there are not many places to trim them, and the topographic changes in inland areas such as the Central Plains are smaller than those in the Western Regions.

Li Ke agreed, and he had already prepared for the military academy, and even some teachers had been found, and he also found some battles from some classic battles of Li Jing and others as a sand table for both sides to promote, and asked Li Ke to personally come to teach these middle-level officers at the rank of captain.

In addition, there are some operational theories of later generations, although almost all of the military courses of later generations are related to thermal weapons, but in fact, there are places to learn from in logistics, army management, tactics, and so on.

In addition, at the beginning of the establishment of our army in later generations, the family was poor, so some tactics were built according to the poverty of the family, and this tactic is very useful to the current Tang Dynasty.

It can only be said that the predecessors took everything into account.

Li Ke only needs to carry out the doctrine of taking.

However, he still needs to work hard to remove some of the unfashionable things in it, and then take out some suitable things and give lessons to these middle-level officers.

In addition to these, even the training of political commissars is also necessary, and it cannot be stopped.

After watching "Ghost Town", Li Shimin chose to return to the palace, but Changle and the others all went to Qinwangzhuang, but tonight's Datang City that never sleeps is destined to be a sleepless night.

How many people's attention can be attracted by such a brand-new city depends on how much charm it can burst out.

The central cardinal to the meeting.

This was the first enlarged meeting of officials in Datang, and it was also the first meeting after the establishment of Datang Zhongshu Province.

In the future, such meetings will become the norm and will be held every two years.

The day after the meeting of the Central Cardinals, the Datang Weekly was published.

"Today's Central Cardinal Meeting was held in Chang'an, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty delivered the following speech"

This is the headline of Datang Weekly.

In fact, there is nothing new in the content, because this is the first meeting, in order to set a benchmark in the future, some big problems have not been taken out, the most eye-catching is that this time the "Datang Weekly" published a series of data.

"Datang's total fiscal revenue in 21 years is 16.52 million yuan! Compared with the total fiscal revenue of the previous year, the total revenue increased by 36.52% year-on-year. It is expected that next year's fiscal revenue will exceed 20 million! ”

"At present, the total number of registered households in Datang is 5244,765, with a total population of about 24,965,081."

The skyrocketing population has to be attributed to several points, the first is the baby chapter in Li Ke's "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", which made Datang at least hundreds of thousands more babies last year.

The second is that the Tang Dynasty annexed Tubo, and Tubo alone has at least more than 3 million people, in addition to the entire 36 countries in the Western Regions have been under the control of the Tang Dynasty, which is a population of several million.

In addition, the people of Shanyue in Lingnan Province have been actively included in the management of the Tang Dynasty, and Linyi, Luzon Island and other places have also been brought under the management of the Tang Dynasty, and the total population of these people is almost more than 3 million.

This made Datang in Datang 22 years, more than 10 million more than the original history of Zhenguan 12 years!

However, this population is still too small, and of course, too much of this land can be fed.

According to the current data, the total number of Eastern Turks such as Xue Yantuo and Murwei is close to 3 million, and the population of Goguryeo is almost 4 million to 5 million, and the army of Goguryeo was close to 600,000 at its peak.

Without adequate population support, Goguryeo would not have been able to have so many troops.

Including Baekje and Silla, the total population is about 6 million.

This is another 10 million people, and the population of the Wa Kingdom is not very large, about 200 to 3 million.

In addition to these data, Datang also officially published a rough map of Datang for the first time.

Because it is printed in a newspaper, its area is not large, but it can be seen from above how much land there is in the Tang Dynasty.

However, this is like Ashina's territory, which is not included in it.

In addition, the current grain stock of Datang, the approximate registered cultivated land, and so on were also announced.

It can be said that an entire issue of the newspaper was devoted to the content of this meeting.

Why did Li Ke have to ask the eldest grandson Wuji to prepare for this meeting? It's not just about counting these data, but it's about forming a rule that a meeting will be held once every two years, and this time may be increased to once a year after the transportation is convenient.

When these officials frequently travel back and forth in Chang'an, they can also deter some violations of law and discipline from some aspects.

People who have been in an environment for a long time will be numb, and they will be powerful in the local area, and it is estimated that he himself believes that he is the emperor of the soil, and if he continues to let him come to Chang'an, he can let him know that he is just an ordinary official.

His rights are only given by the imperial court, without the imperial court, without the Tang Dynasty, he is nothing.

Of course, it is impossible to just count on this to deter officials who violate discipline, but what Li Ke wants to do is not to completely eradicate it, but to unscrupulously oppress the local people and act as a prestige, so that they can be a little more restrained.

If there is less crime, there will be fewer people who will be harmed.

It is impossible to eradicate crime, it will never be possible, Li Ke can only do these things to the best of his ability.

The second function is that such meetings are very useful, and there are some things that are difficult to explain clearly without face-to-face communication, whether it is a concert, a report, etc., which cannot completely explain a problem.

What's more, these local officials are basically people from the gate valve family, and through them, they tell the gate valve family that the world has changed, and they will wait to be eliminated if they don't make changes.

The times have limited the knowledge of some people in this era, and Li Ke has to develop their knowledge.

At the end of the three-day meeting, several resolutions were passed at the meeting to amend the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
