People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 352 The Problem of Remarriage
Since the first year of Wude, the population has risen slightly, but the ups and downs are not great.

Fang Xuanling knew this because the population reports in various places were not sufficient at that time.

Li Shimin is quiet about this icon, especially looking at the line of the former Sui Dynasty, starting from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to the peak, and then starting from Yang Guang to the most declining.

Pointing to an inflection point of the data, Li Shimin asked: "I remember that the tenth year of Daye was the third time Yang Guang sent troops to Goguryeo."

"That's right." Fang Xuanling also nodded, "It is at this time that the world has already started to be chaotic."

Li Shimin looked at the peak value, a population of 5000 million.

The current reported population of Datang is only 1000 million, and Li Shimin is staring at this figure.

Population is the foundation of a country's prosperity, and having more population shows the strength of the country.

Although he had just ascended the throne, Li Shimin thought that he had been in charge all the time, but he didn't expect that there was such a big difference from the heyday of the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing Li Shimin's thoughts, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty's current report from the Central Household Department shows that the population growth has always been high-spirited. I think that within ten years, it will definitely catch up with the former Sui Dynasty."

Li Shimin's expression eased a little, seeing that the national power of the former Sui Dynasty was in shambles after ten years of great achievements.

At that time, Yang Guangguang repaired water conservancy and recruited the best men from all over the world to conquer Goguryeo. This is a lesson.

Li Shimin looked at the other line on the icon, and now Datang's taxes are pretty good.

This chart shows the deficiencies of the current Tang Dynasty. Compared with the previous Sui Dynasty, there are too many things that need to be reorganized.

Speaking of taxation, Li Chunfeng explained: "Your Majesty, I have seen the taxation shown in this icon. Especially last year, Datang's taxation increased a lot. This big part came from commercial tax, and [-]% of it came from Marquis of Jingyang County, according to the words of the Academy, the commercial tax in Jingyangfang City accounts for [-]% of the commercial tax collected by the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zheng?

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Then I have to thank Li Zheng for making such a great contribution to my country?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zheng himself has earned a lot."

Looking at the chart in front of him, Fang Xuanling continued: "Look, Your Majesty, as the population increases, so does the commercial tax. The biggest problem in Datang right now is the population."

"population?"

Li Shimin heaved a long sigh, saying that he didn't want the population to grow faster.

How many people died when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, how many people died when they resisted the Turks, how many people died when Li Jing conquered Lingnan in the south, and how many people died when he conquered the Turks in the north.

They want to restore the population, but the court needs to employ people everywhere and do things everywhere, so how can there be so many people.

Today's national policy is to live with the people. Of course, the prosperity of the national power is also needed to make the Quartet surrender.

Li Shimin pointed to an average number and said, "What does this number mean?"

"Your Majesty, this is called an average. Now there is only an average in the Sui Dynasty. If Your Majesty can allow Pindao to browse through ancient books, Pindao can calculate more data."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty's chart is indeed useful, and perhaps it will be of great use in the future."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "I'm sure, whether it's Guozijian, the door of the province, you can read all the ancient books in the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng bowed and said.

Li Shimin whispered again: "It's done, it's all done, I will reward you without hesitation."

Li Chunfeng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Pindao is not worthy of your Majesty's reward. This is the idea of ​​the Marquis of Jingyang County. This chart was also found by Pindao at the residence of the Marquis of the County. The Marquis of the County uses this chart to record the development of Jingyang today. The minister is just copying it."

Li Shimin smiled coldly: "Li Zheng? Let's talk about this kid Li Zheng. I will reward you for making the diagram."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin continued: "These charts cannot be passed on."

Li Chunfeng glanced at Li Shimin's expression and said: "Pindao understands what your majesty means, if your majesty really wants to reward the poor dao, I have a request."

"speak."

Li Shimin's expression also began to calm down.

Li Chunfeng said: "Mathematics is not beneficial to becoming a scholar or an official. There are people who learn mathematics in this world, but there are too few who are proficient in it."

"I understand. Mathematics will be included in the imperial examination."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng saluted again.

Fang Xuanling was also conflicted when looking at these charts. These charts seemed to be some simple figures, but they were not confidential. If these figures were publicized openly, wouldn’t it be telling others how the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty is?
Withdrawing his mind, Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, this item should be stored properly."

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Zheng didn't know what happened in the court, but there was a news that Li Shimin remarried the originally married Princess Yongjia, which also showed the system of remarrying widows in the court.

The royal family has commended it, and the public will naturally follow suit.

This is a fresh royal gossip, and it is a good talk after dinner.

But right now Li Zheng is having a headache watching the magistrate of Jingyang County at his door arguing with his father.

Not only the widows were allowed to remarry, but also the divorced ones were allowed to remarry. They were afraid that Li Shimin would lead troops into the temple on impulse to make those nuns remarry. What a heroic scene it would be. It's terrible that the government forces people to marry.

Naturally, my father can't let it go, Li Daxiong has led him to live since he can remember.

I didn't see Li Daxiong asking for another daughter-in-law, he seemed to be very resistant to this matter.

This era is a bit strange, at least Li Daxiong raised himself alone.

Li Zheng pulled the magistrate of Jingyang to the side and asked: "Can't this matter be slowed down? You can't force good behavior... No, you can't overlord forcefully, right?"

"The county magistrate, this is not something that the county magistrate alone can manage. If the court hadn't spoken out, I, a little county magistrate, would never dare to disturb the county magistrate."

"The words released by the court?" Li Zheng asked doubtfully.

There was a slamming sound of the door behind him, and Li Daxiong had already closed the door. Li Daxiong hid far away when it came to such things as not being guaranteed at the end of the festival.

The county magistrate of Jingyang also glanced back and said to Li Zheng in a low voice: "All the county lords don't know, the decree that came down from the court this time, the first to bear the brunt of the powerful family, the high-ranking should set an example, and the people below will be convinced. Besides, it's not difficult to turn off the lights as soon as the door is closed, your father is still young as the county marquis."

"He doesn't want me to do anything?" Li Zheng said helplessly: "Is there no other way?"

The county magistrate of Jingyang thought for a while, "At that time, let's say that the subordinate officials are not effective in governance. The subordinate officials will throw out this official and quit. In the future, they will do things for the county marquis. If the county marquis gives more money, it will not be a loss for me to be an official."

"You are real."

The magistrate of Jingyang also stomped his feet anxiously and said: "It is said that Li Chunfeng was the one who caused this incident. He said that he drew some kind of watch, and His Majesty made this decree again."
