Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 432 West of the Western Regions (Today's update)
To be honest, everyone was more or less curious about the last few selected companies.

There are Jingzhao clans, Guanlong nobles, five families and seven surnames, and the royal family. At least on the surface, Li Tai seems to be very fair.

However, facing the matter of rebuilding the Silk Road, those who bought the quota at this moment may not be very happy, but more anxious and dazed, and those who did not get the quota are also envious and curious.

The Sassanid Dynasty was too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road had to pass through the Western Regions and Eastern Turks. This road was full of risks. Even if you got the first batch of admission tickets, for everyone, the future was still full of confusion. The reputation, let everyone dare to gamble.

However, no matter what, since the quota was bought, everyone started to prepare the goods.

The goods that can be sold by the pioneering caravans of the Silk Road are divided into two parts.

Part of it is the trading items between the imperial court and Persia. This part needs to be distributed by the ten families together with Li Tai, and each prepare according to their own share.

But each family is also allowed to bring a part of the goods privately, and the benefits they get belong to themselves, and the court turns a blind eye.

There are about ten cars in each family. If there is any accident, the organization will only pay up to ten cars that have been registered and inspected.

The transactions between Sassan and Datang are mainly weapons and medicines. After all, Sassan and Dashi are at war.

Normally speaking, to implement enfeoffment, it must be the best time to promote this matter when the population of Datang reaches about 600 million households.

The biggest cost of cultivating people is actually time. Even according to the current recovery speed of Datang, it will take at least 50 years to restore the population of Datang to 600 million households!
Therefore, Fang Xuanling felt that this enfeoffment plan would not be enforceable in at least a short period of time, not because he was unwilling, but because the population of Datang really couldn't support this plan.

However, due to the rise of the Arab Empire, the Western Silk Road was broken, which made it impossible to sell Western silk to the Sasanian Empire. Under such circumstances, it can only be said that it will not lose money.

It can be said that something like an iron pot is definitely a product that can only be produced when productivity is improved.

Li Tai didn't say anything about it. After all, the Silk Road, the Silk Road, and the fact that silk is a hard currency is not wrong after all.

Cen Wenwen's heart was full of complaints, and he looked around. The few ministers present except Li Shiji took it for granted.

Anyway, it is too unrealistic for Zhenguan to implement this plan in the first dynasty. Even if Li Tai will succeed in the next dynasty, Fang Xuanling feels that it is a bit far away to implement the enfeoffment system.

Li Shimin nodded understandingly when he heard Fang Xuanling's words. Fang Xuanling did not object to using the method of establishing the Silk Road to understand the countries west of the Western Regions, but at least at this time, Fang Xuanling did not support enfeoffment.

At the same time, Li Shimin also ordered Tian Changgeng from Xihai to bring the school soldiers back to Chang'an, and when a new batch of school soldiers came in, he would take them westward.

And this is naturally a powerful symbol in the era of slavery.

Among them, the most technical content should be the iron pot. Normally, iron pots have already taken shape in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and a small amount appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but the real large-scale appearance still had to wait until the Song Dynasty.

All in all, before the departure time in June, everyone is doing their best to prepare for this unknown journey.

"Pharmacist, what do you think?" Li Shimin knew Fang Xuanling's opinion, and looked at Li Jing.

At that time, Li Shiji was eating wind and sand in Bingzhou, and Cen Wenwen was the management book of Mishu Lang, and they didn't know the details.

Because the current Datang has finally killed Gaochang, Megatron Western Regions, even if we take ten thousand steps back, this time we encountered a sandstorm, the entire caravan was wiped out, but with Li Tai's plan, the next batch of caravans Presumably it will be reorganized soon.

Of course, Li Tai used the joint-stock system to attract aristocratic families of all sizes to build the Silk Road, but this made Li Chengqian extremely annoyed.

Fang Xuanling knew very well that although the king of Wei proposed to divide the enfeoffment, Li Tai was not a reckless person, on the contrary he liked to fight steadily.

As for when to come back, at least it will be next year or the year after next.

This is like why the tripod became a symbol of power in ancient times. It is because the bronze tripod perfectly combines the power of steel and the harvest of grain.

It is an extremely pure but also extremely strong interest relationship established with the cute and lovely Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Therefore, Li Shimin stopped arguing with the courtiers about enfeoffment, but worked hard to restore the population of Datang to prepare for enfeoffment.

At this time, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Shiji, Li Jing, and Cen Wenwen were together in the Tai Chi Hall.

It was supposed to be Wei Zheng who came, and there was nothing wrong with Cen Wenwen, but whoever made Wei Zheng sick left a vacancy and let Cen Wenwen take over.

Therefore, when the population reaches a certain level, the excessive population is resolved through the enfeoffment system.

At the same time, Li Tai also stuffed a few Taoist priests who understand astronomical phenomena to find water veins, and make adequate preparations as much as possible for this long journey.

Everyone speaks freely and talks about their views on this matter! "

"However, in the west of the Western Regions, since countries and nations such as Dashi and Persia can be born, their land must be fertile.

Wei Zheng has been sick since he became the crown prince and grand teacher, and he rarely goes to court. Even Sun Simiao went to see Wei Zheng, but he can only say that medicine can never kill people.

Li Jing looked at Li Shimin and asked himself, and said respectfully, "I don't know much about political management, but I have been studying the essence of heaven and earth these days.

Of course, it was only weapons like knives, guns, swords and halberds. Two things like crossbows and armor were still not allowed to be sold.

And this is the time for his arrangement, to get into the seat that should belong to him.

The very important reason is that the Song Dynasty established a professional coal institution and had enough fuel to forge steel.

Li Shimin was actually very sad when he heard Sun Simiao's judgment, and hoped that Wei Zheng could survive.

Even when Li Tai opened up the quota for the second and third rounds, the big and small aristocratic families might flock to Li Tai like moths to the flame.

Of course, these items from Li Tai did not compete with items from other aristocratic families.

As for the things to be sold, in addition to the weapons and medicines that Belus expected to help the war, Li Tai also asked people to bring new products such as iron pots, tea, sugar, etc., just to see how good these things are. It is not easy to sell.

Even if the steel in the Song Dynasty had a bit more sulfide than that in the Tang Dynasty, it was not that qualified.

Obviously, this is the top secret of the Tang Dynasty court. I was lucky enough to come in because of Wei Guogong's illness and replaced this position. It's better to say less and make less mistakes, and see what other people say.

If you only establish the Silk Road and explore countries like Persian Dashi, then I have no objection! "Fang Xuanling said seriously.

Therefore, daily necessities such as iron pots are really convenient for ordinary people. A repaired iron pot may last a lifetime.

That's why Li Shimin didn't ask them. Today's news is enough for them to digest.

After Li Tai argued with reason, Li Shimin decided to sell the weapon to be eliminated to Sassan after careful consideration.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel fear.But whenever Li Chengqian was in fear, he became more transparent and calm.

The iron pot is to some extent the successor of the bronze tripod, which is also a combination of steel power and the joy of harvest.

However, after knowing the plan, they also have some understanding of why Li Tai has acted for the country and the people until now.

Use the place where Sassanid Persia is now as a future enfeoffment, so as to ease the population limit of Datang in the future.

But the problem is that these things happened at the beginning of Zhenguan, and the veterans of Zhenguan have changed batch after batch.

Li Chengqian thought in his heart that he still had enough time, after all, Wei Zheng had only become the prince and grand teacher not long ago, it was impossible for Aye to suppress him at this time.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian ordered Helan Chushi to say, "Go arrange a time and invite Chen Guogong to come to the mansion!"

If Wei Zheng can survive this winter, maybe he can live for a year, but if he can't survive the winter, then he has nothing to do.

Anyway, it would be best for the entire caravan to be wiped out, but Li Chengqian knew it was unrealistic.

Cen Wenwen's eyes widened when he heard this. Is this the state affairs at the top of the country?What kind of encapsulation is implemented at every turn?
What the enfeoffment system is, Cen Wenwen is naturally clear, but to ease the population limit of the Tang Dynasty, why these words can be understood by themselves, but they are completely incomprehensible when combined.

The blast furnace ironmaking technology in Luoyang Iron and Steel City is mature, and finally there is surplus iron to make some iron products. Among them, the iron pot is what Li Tai specified must be researched. After solving the mold problem, it will be realized soon. Mass production.

In the feudal era, it was impossible for many regimes to say that they could not make iron pots, but if they were able to make iron pots and trade with neighboring countries, it would not be possible for an ordinary country to do so.

And the most powerful evidence is that starting from the Song Dynasty, cooking has gradually entered the homes of ordinary people, and even became more and more abundant.

When others see you cooking mutton hot pot with a bronze cauldron, they will know clearly that you are not short of metal and food.

"Obey!" Helan Chushi heard Li Chengqian's order, and immediately went to Hou Junji to arrange the next meeting.

"Qingque wants to use the reconstruction of the Silk Road to allow the power of the Tang Dynasty to infiltrate the west of the Western Regions.

But now our Datang calculated that there were only 350 million households a few years ago, and now it has only been three years, even if we count more, it is only about 370 million households. Is it too early to think about enfeoffment now! "

But Li Chengqian knows better that Qingque is best at using benefits to win people over.

Because the first batch of goods they prepared were mainly silk and porcelain. After all, these two things are the real hard currency.

But in fact, Li Shiji, like Cen Wenwen, did not understand the enfeoffment plan at the top of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason is very simple. For something like an iron pot, you first need to overcome the temperature of the coal, and then you need to solve the iron material.

In fact, King Wei's plans one by one may have the meaning of increasing his own strength, but most of them still need to complete Datang's top plan.

"It's time for a quick battle!" Li Chengqian watched Li Tai win over the aristocratic family in such a way, it was more painful than cutting himself off from the aristocratic family!
Li Chengqian naturally hoped that there would be a sandstorm in the desert, or that they encountered Western Turks on the way and were attacked.

Compared with agricultural products such as tea and sucrose, iron pots seem ordinary, but in fact they condense quite superb craftsmanship, which can best reflect the current industrial strength of a country.

In contrast, the iron pots, tea leaves, and sucrose prepared by Li Tai seemed weird compared to the silk and pottery they prepared.

For this reason, Li Tai also needs to let Luoyang Iron and Steel City work overtime to manufacture armor, so that those newly joined academy soldiers can be quickly armed. Lu Cai uses the military musician to let these students quickly master the adaptive talent, which is quite sufficient in time.

Li Chengqian could imagine that he would really have no chance at that time.

But if the country's productivity has not been improved to a certain level, this thing really can't reach the homes of ordinary people.

Li Chengqian knew that as long as this caravan made a profit, Li Tai's relationship network in Chang'an would be established.

As for Li Tai being able to do this, it is because Li Tai has always mastered the coal industry and is constantly pursuing higher temperatures.

Li Tai also agrees with this. After all, he only hopes that Sassan can delay a little longer, and weapons can increase Sassan's lethality, but such things as armor may have the possibility of rewriting a war.

It's just that, although silk did make the whole West crazy in the Han Dynasty, it was a pity that this technology was stolen to Italy in the fifth and sixth centuries, so the West got rid of the monopoly of oriental silk and had the ability to weave silk by itself.

Fang Xuanling silently glanced at Cen Wenwen, and said in detail, "At the beginning, the king of Wei said that wheat would be planted in the whole country, and the maximum population that the Tang Dynasty could accommodate was about 1000 to [-] million households. When prosperity turns to decline, turmoil is bound to occur.

At the beginning, Li Shimin supported the enfeoffment, but the officials persuaded him to surrender and opposed it. Cen Wenwen and Li Shiji had heard about it, but they didn't know that Li Shimin did not give up the enfeoffment, but Li Tai used mathematical data to directly demonstrate that Datang wanted 300 years. For the above national fortunes, it must be divided, and the division must be farther away.

Li Chengqian naturally knew that the Silk Road was not so easy to build, even if they came back, it would be a year or two later.

Even Tang Dao, a representative military equipment of the Tang Dynasty, is also prohibited from sale.

First they need to be productive enough, and second they need to be civilized.

To be honest, generally speaking, the retired Li Jing would not attend such meetings.

"I don't have much time left, one year, or two years!" Li Chengqian couldn't help muttering.

Even if all these are resolved, the production efficiency determines that after a country's limited iron production is produced, the supply of weapons and armor is given priority, followed by the production of agricultural tools, and finally the daily necessities of iron pots.

After all, population is something that if you want to recover, you really have to rely on people to survive.

However, in the context of the increase in productivity, iron pots, which are beneficial to people's livelihood, will naturally come out in large numbers.

Discovering the essence of heaven and earth will not only make people more powerful, but even livestock seem to know how to use this power.

In other words, the horse seems to run faster and farther under the nourishment of the essence of heaven and earth.

If this situation continues, the west of the Western Regions may not be as far away as we expected! "
