Li Shimin

"Your Majesty, this continent is tens of thousands of miles away from my Great Tang. How do you want to occupy this continent as large as my Great Tang's territory?" Li Xuan asked.

"Send troops to garrison!" Li Shimin said directly.

"How many troops to send?"

Li Xuan asked again.

"..."

Only then did Li Shimin come to his senses, he opened his mouth, his expression a little gloomy.

A continent as vast as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, even if a million troops were sent, they would not be able to defend it.

However, such a fertile continent has already been discovered by Datang, if he just give up like this, Li Shimin will feel a heart-wrenching pain!

"But Xuanba, such a big treasure land, is it possible to give up like this?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much!"

At this time, although sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. had become popular in Datang, their prices were still very high.
Therefore, all the people in Weinan County can earn a lot of money.

"Xuan Ba's words are wonderful!"

"insufficient!"

"Unfortunately, the old man's body is already rotten, and this continent is tens of thousands of miles away from my Great Tang, so I can't reach this continent. Otherwise, the old man really wants to take a look!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others couldn't help but smile.

"This……"

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send troops immediately to occupy this continent!"

Fang Xuanling reported in detail.

This [-] mu of rice is enough for the people in Lijiazhuang to eat for a year.

Now, do you still miss Weinan County? "

Since Li Yuan and his family moved to Lijiazhuang, Li Yuan has nothing to do every day. With the support of several servants, he wandered around Lijiazhuang, which made Lijiazhuang inexplicably quieter.

Li Xuan said.

If someone dares to get involved in this continent, His Majesty will directly send an army to destroy it!

However, sometimes Li Xuan would ask Li Chang to buy some grain outside to make wine.

In addition, there are iron mines in these continents, and you can also send a group of craftsmen to make iron and ship, and forge a large number of steel giant ships to excavate this continent! "

And before the frost came, the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and peppers in the homes of the people in Weinan County were harvested one by one.The people of Weinan County have completely entered a time of prosperity.

"According to my opinion, you can move to the governor of Huazhou! However, this statement is only my king's suggestion. As for how your majesty and the officials make a decision, it is not up to me to decide!"

The government of Huazhou is Zheng County, which is only more than 40 miles away from Weinan County.

Li Xuan: "..."

Therefore, those common people planted at least three acres of grain less than before.

Li Shimin replied.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty is in urgent need of people, we should not only pay attention to males, if there are common people who have daughters, we should also subsidize them!"

Li Shimin also directly agreed to Li Chengqian's promotion to the governor of Huazhou.

Li Chengqian answered cleanly, without any reluctance, and Li Xuan even saw a trace of excitement and anticipation on Li Chengqian's face.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes still staring at the map, full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, there is such a treasure in the world?"

Li Xuan naturally understood the intentions of these people.

After hearing that Datang had discovered a fertile continent that was no less than the territory of Datang, Li Yuan's face was filled with joy.

After that, he saluted Li Xuan again.

"I also ask the master to teach me!"

At least, knowing that Datang wants to completely occupy that fertile continent now, it is powerless.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At the same time, the military inspectors and general supervisors also began to recruit a large number of craftsmen, most of whom were blacksmiths.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "Based on the original basis, all subsidies and rewards will be raised again!"

Li Chengqian said quickly.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others stared blankly, looked at each other quickly, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, in this way, we need to encourage the people of our Tang Dynasty to actively marry, and we should encourage widows and widows to remarry; now that our Tang Dynasty has enough food, we can increase the subsidy for the poor to marry wives again, and increase the reward for having children!"

In addition, the farms established by the Weinan County Chamber of Commerce have also begun to get on the right track.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, "Now, you have laid the foundation of Weinan County, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, within two years, Weinan County must be the strongest county in my Tang Dynasty!

Anyone who knows the changes in Weinan County in the past two years can see that as long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, the lives of the people in Weinan County will become more and more prosperous from now on.

After the autumn harvest, tens of thousands of young and strong people in Weinan County began to work to make money under the leadership and encouragement of the Weinan County Chamber of Commerce and Weinan County officials.

"Master's intention?"

As for the number of babies born in Datang last year, there were more than 400 million fetuses, and this year there will be even more.In less than 20 years, there will be tens of millions more young and middle-aged adults in our Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and the others all froze.

In addition, some people can also sell some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn outside.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the frontiers of our Tang Dynasty have been peaceful in the past few years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Last year, more than 300 million men got married in our Tang Dynasty, and 230 million of them were pregnant.

"Just after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of our Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered, and now our Tang Dynasty does not have sufficient population to occupy this continent."

……

The former governor of Huazhou made great contributions in governing Huazhou and was transferred to the Chang'an City Household Department.

"After I heard that the four warriors, his wife and daughter, have lived in your estate for a year, and the three daughters of the warrior have reached the age of marriage, when will Xuan Ba ​​bring them into the mansion, so that they can be used for me, Li Tang?"

"Aye, don't worry, Shimin will visit this continent instead of Aye in the future!" Li Shimin said.

As for Li Chengqian's Weinan County, every household has grown sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all looked at Li Shimin quietly.

Naturally, the people in Weinan County have a bumper harvest this year.

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others were startled again.

Lijiazhuang.

Today, only my Tang Dynasty has a giant steel ship, which can easily cross the ocean of thousands of miles and reach this continent!

After summoning these county magistrates in a very polite manner, they began to take Wang Xuance, Chang Sun Chong and others to understand the situation of the counties in Huazhou.

At the same time, send ships to inspect this continent. If any ship finds this continent, it will drive them away and declare that this continent has been occupied by my Tang Dynasty.

"Ok!"

So, after returning, he directly summoned Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and the Minister of the Household into the palace.

After leaving Lijiazhuang, Li Shimin's blood was still boiling when he thought of that continent, but he was much more rational than when he came here.

In addition, irrigation ditches have been built next to hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile fields in Weinan County. As long as the fields are slightly dry, they can be directly irrigated with water.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the current situation, after 20 years, the population of our Tang Dynasty can double at most and return to the time of the Sui Dynasty!"

After Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others had harvested all the grain and vegetables from all the fields in Weinan County, there would be no major problems in Weinan County.

If Li Chengqian is allowed to choose, he is also willing to be appointed as the governor of Huazhou.

"Your Majesty, this continent is the treasure land bestowed on me by the heavens, and it must not fall into the hands of foreigners!"

After leaving Lijiazhuang, Li Chengqian went into the palace to look for Li Shimin.

As long as there are millions of Tang people multiplying on this continent, this continent can be my territory of the Tang Dynasty! "

In this way, His Majesty can immigrate to this continent.

However, over the past few years, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others have also begun to learn to be smart.

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded slowly: "It seems that you are still calm, and have not gotten carried away because of this achievement!"

Fortunately, on this matter, Li Shimin only talked about it.

And Li Chengqian, who had trained in Weinan County for two years, was no longer the young prince who had just left the East Palace.

at the same time.

With that said, Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Li Xuan.

Because Weinan County is a county under the rule of Huazhou, and he is the governor of Huazhou, so he can often take care of Weinan County.

Li Chengqian's achievements in governing the local area have already been praised by all civil and military officials.

"This king just thinks that Gao Ming should try to govern a state!"

Today, only [-] mu of rice are planted in Lijiazhuang, and vegetables, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. are planted in the remaining fields.

This was the first time that Li Xuan praised them so sincerely. After Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others were stunned for a moment, they all smiled happily.

"Chengqian would like to obey the master's wishes!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly and explained slowly: "This continent has not been discovered for so many years, so it may not be possible for anyone to discover it in the next few hundred years. Moreover, this continent is surrounded by vast oceans. Even if someone discovers , and may not be able to arrive.

"good!"

"Can you govern a state?" Li Xuan asked rhetorically.

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others subconsciously asked.

"Father, don't worry. After returning, the people of the world will discuss with the courtiers again, award benefits, encourage the common people to have children, and build a lot of giant steel ships, so that we can prepare for my Tang Dynasty to live in this continent in the future!"

"After 20 years, can the population of our Tang Dynasty reach [-] million?" Li Shimin asked.

As the instigator of such changes, Li Chengqian, the magistrate of Weinan County, has benefited more than 7 people in Weinan County after governing Weinan County for two years. All the people are familiar with it.

"..."

a few days later.

According to their understanding of Li Xuan, something is wrong with their master.

Li Shimin is overjoyed!
Afterwards, after thinking for a while, Li Shimin continued: "It's just that the only factor that limits our power in the Tang Dynasty is the population. This matter cannot be rushed! When the court meeting is held, I need to discuss the marriage strategy with the officials again!

"Thank you for your teaching, Master!"

"You have followed this king for so many years, and you have lived up to Aye's high expectations. Weinan County has been governed beautifully by you!"

"..."

The child has done such a successful thing outside alone, so he naturally wants to come back and show off to his parents, hoping to get their affirmation.

Throughout Huazhou, all the county magistrates were full of joy.

As long as he sensed that something was wrong with Li Xuan, he would never make wild guesses, but would ask questions directly.

"hey-hey……"

Afterwards, Li Shimin and Li Xuan went to meet Li Yuan.

In today's world, our Tang Dynasty has the most extensive territory, the largest population, and the strongest armed force. Your Majesty can completely develop this continent in hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years.

Therefore, facing the expectant eyes of several people, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

However, Li Xuan also had to admit that Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance had managed Weinan County well.

"One of you is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the four are the eldest sons of the founding father of the Tang Dynasty. Even Wang Xuance is now the captain of my son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and he still has a title. Do you feel that, You can be proud of just governing a small county well?"

"Chengqian will not disappoint his master and father!" Li Chengqian replied.

Even the reputation of Li Chengqian was circulating in various feudal states around the Tang Dynasty.

"Master, don't worry, you can go and find the emperor yourself for this matter!"

Fang Xuanling said.

Li Shimin shook his head slowly, "The territory of this continent is already about the same size as my Great Tang. If my Great Tang wants to completely occupy it, it will consume a lot of national power. I still need to continue to strengthen my Great Tang's national power, especially the population and the giant steel ship!"

Just selling peppers to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, each family can earn four or five guans of money.

At the same time, Weinan County has more than 6000 young and strong married wives this year.

"Dare to ask Master, Cheng Qian can be the governor of a state!"

The imperial edict was issued to all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, and thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty shouted for His Majesty's mercy.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!"

Both Li Shimin and Li Xuan agreed, and there will be no change in this matter.

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

After hearing about that continent, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others acted more impulsively than Li Shimin, their eyes were red and they were panting heavily.

So, he came to Lijiazhuang and reported the changes in Weinan County to Li Xuan.

Soon, it will be the autumn harvest.

As for the grain used for wine making, there are not many.

As long as the population of our Great Tang increases and there are tens of thousands of people, the fertile land of our Great Tang may not be enough.

"Thank you, master, for your teaching!"

An edict was also issued to the Qingzhou Shipbuilding Workshop to build huge steel ships.

Li Shimin looked indifferent, and waved his hand lightly.

On the second day after Li Chengqian arrived at the governor's office in Huazhou, the magistrates of counties under the jurisdiction of Huazhou came to visit Li Chengqian one after another.

"This……"

However, Li Chengqian, the magistrate of Weinan County, made outstanding achievements in governing Weinan County and was promoted to the governor of Huazhou. As for Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi, Du Gou, Changsun Chong, and Yuchi Baolin, they continued to follow Li Chengqian and were promoted to the governor of Huazhou.

……

Therefore, in less than a few days, the two officials' documents were directly issued to the governor's office of Huazhou and the county office of Weinan County.

"This continent is the Treasure Continent of our Great Tang. We must live in our Great Tang subjects on it, build our Great Tang houses, and plant our Great Tang grain!"

Following Li Chengqian's promotion to the governor of Huazhou, a Datang army carrying more than 2000 carts also slowly entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty from the Western Regions.

Along the wide and smooth concrete road, all the way to Chang'an.

The king of the Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Regions to conquer the Dashi bandit soldiers, after two years, finally returned with two thousand carts of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as all kinds of rare treasures from the Western Regions and Dashi.

More than 2000 carts full of various treasures entered Chang'an City through the Golden Palace Gate, and countless people in Chang'an City gathered to watch.

……
