Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 377 Li Tai's Persistence

"Ahem!" Fang Xuanling coughed a few times, and said, "King Wei, is there any way for the soldiers in Chang'an to eat meat steadily!"

Fang Xuanling finally understood, she shouldn't have come here today.

But now with the school soldiers raised by King Wei as a comparison, if the army's food cannot be improved, these generals don't know what will happen in the future!
But be realistic, no one has been as noisy as King Wei throughout the ages.

You others don't know why the country chooses the government military system, don't you soldiers who are hard to understand? !

Who doesn't know that the recruitment system is good, but the recruitment system costs money.
In contrast, the Fubing system is much better. Basically, most of the military's expenses are borne by the soldiers themselves.
It would be good for the country to only raise the top elites, such as Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, such as Datang's Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, which saves a lot of military expenses.

"I don't have such a great ability!" Li Tai replied thoughtfully,
"It's not easy, because the mutton and beef...pork that is usually available is actually very difficult to grow on a large scale near Chang'an.
Because the fields near Chang'an are more suitable for growing wheat for human consumption, and there is not enough feed, there are naturally no conditions for large-scale farming. "

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling nodded in satisfaction, and glanced around, a sense of majesty emerged spontaneously.

It's not that he doesn't want to give everyone benefits, but even King Wei himself may not be able to do this.

But Li Tai didn't see what Fang Xuanling meant, and said to himself:

"So the only livestock that can be raised around Chang'an are chickens, ducks, geese and the like.

Such a project needs to select a suitable village and town as a pilot, and then collect the husks and wheat bran of wheat millet in the surrounding cities through the Weihe River, grind them, and feed them to poultry.

In this way, the poultry does not need to be robbed by humans, so that large-scale production is possible.

As for how large a poultry market can be supported by the wheat bran and rice husks in the upper and lower reaches of the Weihe River, to be honest, I don’t know, I need to find a village to try it out! "

Li Tai spread out his hands to express that he was helpless.

After all, although I also have a chicken farm in Gaoling and a duck farm, it is not to supply the entire Chang'an army.

But even so, the reason of the feed has limited the scale of raising one's own after all.

If Fang Xuanling is willing to use a county or city as a breeding farm to integrate the rice husks and wheat bran from the entire upper and lower reaches of the Weihe River, it can actually be supported.

However, this is tantamount to turning a county around Chang'an into a satellite city with a relatively single industry, which exists attached to Chang'an.

Of course, the most important thing in this is easy to say, that is, sometimes if chicken plague occurs, the entire county and city will basically be devastated.

It is very important how the local people can get through this process.

"If the housekeeper wants technology, my poultry industry can lend you manpower.

But one thing needs to be known, when the number of poultry reaches more than [-], it is very easy to have chicken plague.

Although my subordinates have preventive measures, they can't guarantee that chickens and ducks will not get sick for life.

Therefore, if such a state or county is established, it is necessary to prepare for the occurrence of chicken plague and the like! "

Li Tai said to Fang Xuanling very carefully, "So my property usually consists of [-] to [-] poultry.

Even if there is chicken plague or something, it will not be too distressing to directly dispose of all the poultry in a certain place! "

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but stroked her beard when she heard Li Tai's words, and felt that Li Tai's suggestion was quite good.

Whether it works or not, at least try it first, at worst, the warehouses established at the beginning should be given priority to supply the pilot towns.

"Of course, I think the best way is to build a road from Chang'an to Luoyang!" Li Tai resolutely recommended the idea he had always wanted,
"As long as this road is built, the materials from the entire Kanto can be sent to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Chang'an's decree can also be conveyed as soon as possible! "

"How much does it cost!" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice when he heard Li Tai's words!
"It should be cheaper than building the Grand Canal!" Li Tai made a simple comparison with the canal.

"Do you still want to build the Grand Canal!" Li Shimin frowned when he heard Li Tai's words!

"No, no, the Grand Canal has been built, so it doesn't make sense for me to change the route!" Li Tai said calmly.

"King Wei, don't talk about it!" Du Ruhui looked at Li Shimin's angry look, and tried to persuade him.

Although Li Tai persisted, he is not an idiot, especially when facing Li Shimin, he said decisively,
"Aye, what I mean is, I don't have a specific estimate for the construction of this road, after all, it is more than 300 miles away.

Now that I am building an expressway on Henan Road, I can evaluate the project from the side. If it can be repaired, it will be fine! "

Li Shimin nodded after hearing Li Tai's words.

Although what Li Tai said made people very angry, if it wasn't for his own son, he might tear his mouth.

But Li Tai is still very safe in his work. Even if he wants to build a road between Luoyang and Chang'an, he will first experiment with the Henan Road.

"Okay, let's stop here, after Xue Rengui and the Xuefu soldiers finish their visits, they will be incorporated into the Yuanwu Imperial Army.

If they are stationed in Chang'an all the year round, they will be considered as soldiers of the imperial court, so you don't have to pay any more! "Li Shimin said.

Li Tai heard what Li Shimin said, and said, "Aye, are the academy soldiers still going to be stationed in Xihai County for training?"

"What do you think!" Li Shimin heard Li Tai's question and said, "Go on over there to train. After the training is finished, wait until these soldiers retire, and they will add in!"

Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help shaking his head and said, "The oldest soldier in this group is only 22 or [-] years old.

When will they wait until they retire? I think that every year Chang'an's academy soldiers can open up a certain number of places.

Let the school soldiers who have returned from the plateau choose excellent supplements to add to it.

But for the remaining retired soldiers, I think they should be organized to move bricks! "

"Wei Wang, how obsessed are you with moving bricks!" Hou Junji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Li Tai's words, stood up and saluted,
"This group of ministers feel that a place like Xihai County, which has been tempered by the right time and place and has meat, is an excellent place for military training.

If the soldiers who come out from there can master the talent and self-adaptation familiarly, they can also adapt to other army operations very easily.

Each of them can be used as a corps leader, and it is more appropriate to supplement them to other armies in comparison! "

"Then I'm a 160-jin corvee..." Li Tai looked at Li Shimin with hopeful eyes.

"What corvée, this is a soldier of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said to Li Tai seriously, "Don't humiliate the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Just kidding, such an elite army will serve you as corvee, if you hadn't trained such an army by your own son, Li Shimin would have kicked Li Tai out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Do you know what your sister is called a violent thing? After smelting the adaptive talent of weapon mastery, it's not like you can't exert their combat power, but you are actually full of corvee corvee.

This world is not only corvée, such an elite team is actually used as corvée, you are crazy!
Li Tai looked at Li Shimin, and it was obvious that the corvee he prepared for himself was gone.

"That...Aye, is there anything else you need?" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin weakly and asked.

"No more for now!" Li Shimin thought that the most important thing he wanted Li Tai to come back was to ask Xue Rengui and others not to dismantle the establishment, and where did Li Tai get so much steel.

Now, Li Tai has already answered these two questions. Although the other questions are miscellaneous, in essence, they are just derivatives of these two questions.

The most important thing is to search for the talents that Li Tai has stored up like a squirrel, and I feel refreshed immediately.

"I have!" Li Tai bit these two words fiercely, and said, "Aye, you still remember the population issue we talked about!"

"Oh..." Li Shimin couldn't help but become serious when he heard this. Even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also became serious.

Li Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, while Hou Junji looked to the left and looked blankly.

Hou Junji's eyes were full of doubts. Aren't everyone on the same level? Why am I the only one who is confused!
"You came today because of this incident!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "What do you think!"

To be honest, Li Shimin is very clear why he was willing to let Li Tai establish an agricultural school, and even took the initiative to escort Li Tai. Didn't he know that Li Tai would become Li Chengqian's competitor?

I know it, but I can't help it. No one even noticed this problem before Li Tai.

All of Li Tai's actions, right or wrong, were aimed at solving or alleviating the population.

Even the original policy of delaying women's marriage age, although in Li Tai's view, was to protect women, in Li Shimin's view, it also had a policy to slow down population saturation.

Therefore, Li Shimin is now not only looking forward to the recovery of the Huaxia population, but also having a headache about the recovery of the Huaxia population.

Because the population of Huaxia took a step towards the peak, the closer it was to falling for Datang.

This kind of feeling that one's own country has just been established, and it is destined to perish. To be honest, if it is changed to a different emperor, it may have already begun to fail.

After all, my own efforts have not made any fundamental changes to the rise and fall of the dynasty, so what else is there to work on, just make it bad, let the population grow freely, and directly increase until the country can't bear it.

But Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all, knowing this, he is no longer impatient in his work, but instead focuses on safety.

It's just that Li Shimin also knows that some policies are safe, and they will drag the population further towards the peak!

"It is now the 12th year of Zhenguan, and it has been more than ten years since the household registration investigation in the Takede period.

I think our household registration in Datang should have changed significantly. Although we can't solve the problem, we must at least know the growth rate of the population.

So I feel that a comprehensive census of population or household registration should be conducted next year! " Li Tai said with a serious expression.

"Household registration census?!" Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Fang Xuanling.

When Fang Xuanling heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help stroking his beard and said, "What King Wei said is true.

It has been 12 years since Zhenguan, and it is indeed necessary to conduct a national household registration census!

Even if we can't find a solution to the problem, we must at least be clear about the extent of the problem.

However, since King Wei raised this matter, he should have some ideas! "

"Xiao Wang has a little suggestion!" Li Tai stretched out his finger meaningfully.

Seeing Li Tai like this, Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Mo Nao, what do you think?!"

"I think that before the Chinese New Year, the state can organize a New Year's Day distribution event. As long as the people registered with the imperial court can go to the county to receive a portion of meat, a portion of dried fish, a portion of rice cakes, and a portion of chicken !" Li Tai said.

"This..." Fang Xuanling couldn't help falling silent when she heard Li Tai's words, and said in a deep voice,
"The time is too short, I'm afraid that the supplies are not sufficient, and it is difficult to send things from the county to the people!"

To be honest, doesn't Fang Xuanling know about the fact that the imperial power does not go down to states and counties?how is this possible!

As the No.1 Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, he is very aware of the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, or more precisely, the hidden dangers left over from the Han Dynasty.

The issue of the aristocratic family has always been the main problem from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. Even though they no longer have the right to directly control the government on the surface, the remaining power of the aristocratic family is still entrenched at the grassroots level even after the Tang Dynasty has won the world.

The so-called famous families are not the epitome of aristocratic families, they are always ready to fight back against the court.

In fact, the later aristocratic families also succeeded, especially after Wu Zetian completely defeated the nobles in Longxi, basically the five surnames and Qiwang were the representatives of the aristocratic families who were prime ministers.

It's just that because of the existence of the imperial examination system, the landlords of the common clan appeared. To a certain extent, they are also aristocratic families, but they are just the poor family in the family, or even a branch of the common clan that is lower than the poor family.

It wasn't until the Huangchao Uprising and the Wufu of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms that the family was completely crushed.

Even if there are aristocratic families in Huaxia, at least they will not be the top aristocratic families that directly control the political power, and the imperial examination system has also created a slim and fair entry for the common people. Even now, the college entrance examination is still across classes. best way.

"Then make it smaller, how about distributing it to all the students of agricultural colleges!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin resolutely and said,

"Distributed to every student who has a student status in an agricultural school, and no one is missing!"

Although sometimes Li Tai is soft and sticky, each guy does not say anything about the talents he has cultivated through hard work.

But now, Li Tai looked at Li Shimin without flinching. This is not a show of strength, but a show of determination!

For Li Tai, the most important thing is the population from beginning to end. In this general direction, he will never waver in the slightest.

After all, in the Zhenguan era, the accumulated population was less than 500 million households. For Li Tai, it was really too difficult for Datang to take foreign steps.

Therefore, I must ensure the accuracy of the population information, and at this moment, I proposed the annual distribution of agricultural colleges.

His own orders can touch the entire system of agricultural institutions, no matter Jinkou, Agricultural Society, Medical Association, or even craftsmen, they can all reach the bottom of society. Li Tai believes in the system he created.

"This is your own school, you decide for yourself!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you saint!" Li Tai saluted respectfully.
