Chapter 1062: Arriving in Qinghai Prefecture

On the whole, the situation in Datang is better than Li Ke imagined, or even better than more than a thousand years later, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The key to this is that the main contradiction is not prominent, or the main contradiction has almost dropped to a certain extent, plus Datang really does not lack arable land, and almost all the people have arable land to plant, unless they give up.

In the case of no shortage of cultivated land, there are very few contradictions and conflicts among the people in Datang, such as the situation that several villages fought in order to grab water in later generations, and even killed people, or even directly pulled out cannons.

Because of the lack of irrigation water or other reasons that make the area too densely populated, the local government has long been agitating for the entire village to start relocating.

When there is better land, better options, who would choose a place to fight because of water? No one.

Again, the people just want to live a good life, and for some people whose land is more fertile and their lives are more stable, it is difficult for them to change their lives, or it is difficult for them to relocate.

But for those villages where the land itself is very poor, and there is not enough water for irrigation, it is easier to let them change places, not to mention that the imperial court now provides them with travel expenses and food.

Although the successive dynasties have always restricted the migration of the population, in fact, the migration of the population has never stopped, but it was passive in the past, and the people could not survive anymore and migrated on their own, but now it is active.

It was the process of unified redistribution of cultivated land by the imperial court throughout the Tang Dynasty, and some rich, easy-to-irrigate land was allocated in advance and preferentially.

When he arrived in Qinghai, Li Ke probably knew about such a situation.

"Xu Xiang." Li Ke said.

"The minister is here."

"Send someone back and send a document to Shangshu Province, so that the Ministry of Land and Resources, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, can re-register the current state-owned land in Datang. In particular, the more barren land that has been replaced is re-registered. ”

"To avoid the loss of state-owned assets, and all state-owned land is not allowed to be bought and sold privately by private individuals, and to allow each county to register and grade the land under its own county, especially high-quality land, when it is responsible for population redistribution."

"Officials in each county should be well aware of the land in their own counties, and as the population increases, the state-owned resources and land continue to be distributed, and these lands will definitely be redistributed." Li Ke said.

"Yes."

In fact, Li Ke was not thinking about this problem, these problems were just to take precautions in advance, register some cultivated land that was once barren, and distribute it for large-scale planting of land in the future.

The current Datang can't reach any mechanized planting, but mechanical products such as walk-behind tractors are estimated to be produced in another twenty or thirty years, right?

At that time, there was some basis for large-scale farming.

The issue of land was put aside for the time being, and after entering Qinghai, Li Ke entered directly from the Huangshui Valley, also known as the Hehuang Valley, which was an important arable area in Qinghai in later generations.

In fact, almost since the Tang Dynasty, if all dynasties want to target the Western Regions, the Hehuang Valley is a battleground for soldiers, because a large amount of arable land here can feed a large number of people, not to mention, and can provide a large amount of grain and grass here, becoming an important logistics supply point to support the front line.

But now, the land use of the Hehuang Valley is not very sufficient, and the population here is sparse, although the number of Yongye fields per household has increased to 50 acres, but the people who have migrated here are still only about 100,000 households.

And a considerable part of them are the original herdsmen of Tuyuhun who have turned into people who cultivate the land.

However, there is an advantage here, that is, because of tax exemption and other issues, as well as the previous allocation of cattle and sheep and other livestock, the people here have come to the forefront of domestic livestock breeding.

After Li Ke entered the Hehuang Valley, he passed by some villages and could see chickens, ducks and other poultry raised in the villages, and it could be seen that the people here were actually better off than in China.

Although they have only been joining Datang for a few years.

But this is the advantage, after the herdsmen on the grassland distribute their cattle and sheep to themselves, as long as they can provide them with food and arable land, their property is stronger than that of ordinary people before the Tang Dynasty.

After all, there was no shortage of animal power, no shortage of livestock, no shortage of poultry, and after arable land, they quickly began to become wealthy.

In addition to these, Li Ke saw a large number of alfalfa being cultivated here, and apparently each family used part of their fields to grow alfalfa to raise poultry and livestock.

It's just that after entering the Hehuang Valley, Li Ke was able to wander around at first, but soon his measures had to be stopped, because ...... He was recognized.

When Li Ke left Qinghai, almost all the Qinghai herdsmen who saw him off on both sides of the road had seen him, and here, there were obviously people who had sent him off.

After recognizing Li Ke, the entire Hehuang Valley was completely boiling.

It is impossible to cover up the news, when one person knows, it means that the whole family knows, when their whole family knows, the whole village knows, when the whole village knows.

Anyway, Li Ke didn't know how many people rode horses directly and went away like notices from all directions, who let many of these people come before, and almost every family here has pack horses.

So the news of his arrival in Qinghai was almost like having wings, and it quickly spread throughout Qinghai.

Li Ke had to cancel his original plan, he could only speed up his entry, continue to move along the original path, and continue to move in the direction of Chihai City.

But on both sides of the official road, there were more and more herdsmen and people who rushed over, just to see Li Ke.

They are all very orderly, even more orderly than back then, because they now know the direction in which His Highness is heading, so they don't need to be congested together, they are just waiting on the road that Li Ke must pass.

Their thoughts are also very simple, they just want to take a look at His Highness who has brought them to their current life, nothing more.

When His Highness left that year, he said that he would come back to see them in a few years, and now, His Highness has really returned, just to see if their life is good, to see if they are better than back then.

And they also want to see if His Highness is fat or thin, if they can listen to His Highness say a few words, it would be even better.
