Chapter 653 Li Shimin's Abacus
Chapter 653 Li Shimin's Abacus
Li Shimin wanted so much food, and he really made a big move. After Sun Dali poured a big mouthful of mung bean soup on the ridge to relieve the heat, he said, "I got it clear, the food we collected here will be shipped to Wazhou." .”
"Wazhou?"
"Yes, Lord Hongshen will clean up the entire eastern island and gather all the uncivilized people into several major mining areas in Wazhou, gaining 80 people. From this year onwards, there will be no people in the entire Wazhou Island. grow grain for one acre of land."
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't need Sun Dali to continue. Sun Xiangfu also knew what Li Shimin and Zhang Gongjin were going to do there. Their move was really ruthless, preventing all the original Japanese natives from farming, then Therefore, they must rely on the food of the Tang Dynasty to survive, and these aborigines gathered by Zhang Gongjin, needless to say, must all be used as miners to develop the gold and silver minerals in the original territory of the country for the Tang Dynasty, and transport them to the country in large quantities.
This means of starving food is not to give them any chance to rebel, because there is no food to grow, no ships to go to sea, if they dare to act rashly to do things, then more than half of the people will starve to death first, as long as Datang can Continuous supply of food, then, the control of Wazhou is almost absolute.
However, on the other side of Guangwa Prefecture, no matter what, the population is less than 100 million, and it can't consume 2000 million shi of grain a year! For 80 people, even if they eat three meals a day, each person consumes three or four catties of rice on average. One stone a month, and more than nine million stones a year, is enough. After all, among these people, they can consume three or four catties a day. There are not many strong men who can afford a catty of rice. In fact, maybe 900 million shi of rice is enough for them to eat for a year.
"Even so, the imperial court shouldn't send 2000 million shi of grain from us a year! You know, Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road, and the three counties of Jiaozhi, the grain produced in each place is no less than ours." Sun Xiangfu said in surprise.
"According to the tone of the escort officer, the food we transported here should not only be for Wazhou, but the next season's output may be for Yizhou, Ryukyu, Luzon, there, and Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road , the food from Cochin is likely to be sent to Tianzhu." Sun Dali said again.
"Send it to Tianzhu?"
When Sun Xiangfu heard the words, he immediately guessed what was going on.
Since Li Shimin thought of using food to control Wazhou, he must have thought of using food to control Ryukyu, Yizhou, and Luzon.Because there are quite a few natives on these islands, they have just passed the period of ruthlessness and drinking blood, and entered the era of tribal management. They have white rice, and it is easy for the court to deal with them. If all their labor force is allocated to build the dock , cities, roads, then, will greatly speed up the development of these large islands.
For example, Yizhou Island has nearly 20 natives. Moreover, many tribes began to Sinicize during the Three Kingdoms period, and they were able to communicate and trade with the Central Plains people. , the Quanzhou Navy has organized the aboriginals on Yizhou Island, built seven or eight seaports and piers on the main island of Yizhou Island and some surrounding islands, and built several cities, which are currently divided into five counties with complete teams by the imperial court. .
Since the government did not set any taxes for the indigenous people, it also brought medical care, education, and more advanced production and living tools to the local people, which was very supported by the tribal people, and a large number of tribal people have begun to move to clean and tidy cities. Residential, these cities have also begun to generate a certain amount of commercial taxation, and even because the local area is rich in various fruits, some people have already opened fruit drying workshops, sugar and salt workshops, and the future will definitely get better and better.
The same is true for Lu Song. Feng An's people had already subdued some local tribal leaders a few years ago. Later, when Zhao Long went to clean up Wang Hao's remnants, he showed the power of Tang Dynasty in front of all the natives. , In addition, the policy of the imperial court for the local people is comparable to that of Yizhou Island. Therefore, the 10,000+ indigenous people on the island are now firmly controlled by several government offices set up by the imperial court, and they have also been organized to build several docks and cities. Afterwards, more facilities will be built on the island to provide supplies and various repair services for Datang's fleet going to sea.
Using food and daily necessities as a means of winning the hearts of the local people and driving their labor force is not bad, but sending tens of millions of stones of grain to Tianzhu is too big a move.
1000 million shi of grain can feed at least 100 million people for a year. The grain that can be sold in the three counties of Jiangnan Road, Lingnan Road and Jiaozhi must exceed 5000 million shi. Li Shimin wants to feed 500 million people in Tianzhu?You know, this is almost one-fifth of the population of the entire Indian region during this period.
But the fact is that, from the end of the sports meeting in Dingxiang, King Jieri launched a war to unify India. Its scale was no less than that of the Central Plains war at the end of Sui Dynasty. They have taken over nearly 5 multi-national coalition troops. These people are not idle there. After being trained initially, although they did not participate in this multi-national war, they were under the leadership of secret guard generals. Under the command of the leader, the local people who escaped from the war are constantly gathered.
You know, the people in this place are usually poor. After being captured by Tang Jun, they can actually eat two meals of white rice a day. Don't enjoy it too much.
After the news was spread throughout the war-torn area, it became uncontrollable. The poor people who could not afford food or were threatened by the war flooded towards the Kingdom of Varnabi, and the population quickly broke through. 100 million, then 200 million, and more.
General Miwei rushed to Lingnan for emergency, and Feng An immediately dispatched food there. Afterwards, Li Shimin sent Liu Hongji to preside over the overall situation. Tang Shangbiao proclaimed his minister, so after Liu Hongji arrived in the local area, he directly took over the military and political power. Now, Liu Hongji's memorial requesting the establishment of state roads in the coastal control area of India has been sent to Chang'an.
This is a major event that can add more than 3000 miles of territory to the Tang Dynasty and a population of more than 500 million. In fact, it will not be long before Sun Xiangfu will receive the news, because many ministers of the DPRK and China have maintained correspondence with Sun Xiangfu, and so For big things, Li Shimin will definitely tell the world.
Liu Hongji can now be said to be the busiest person in the entire Tang Dynasty, with more than 500 million people, who believe in different sects, countries, and languages. The people are like refugees, and it is difficult to manage. , together with the [-] Great Tang Navy he brought over, and the [-] miscellaneous troops he received after half a year of training, a total of more than [-] troops, he could barely manage to resettle the people and maintain law and order, and he had no spare energy to participate in the war. Go in the unification war of King Jieri.
And their current state has been regarded as a piece of fat by the two major forces in the north and south of India. Whoever becomes the final winner will come to eat this piece of fat, and this may also affect Li Shimin The prelude to the unification of Eurasia.
After analyzing these things clearly, Sun Xiangfu can only grow food more seriously, because his current state cannot control these major events in the world, so he can only find a way to push it in a good direction. The pace of expansion, then, the takeover may be tens of millions of people who have no output. Just 1000 million people need to consume more than [-] million stones of food a year, let alone more.
After Sun Xiangfu was stunned for a while, Sun Dali said again, "Well, there is one more thing I have to tell you."
"whats the matter?"
"The imperial court may not pay cash when they come to collect food next season."
"Why is this? There are millions of overseas miners providing gold and silver to the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court has made a lot of money. It won't be worth hundreds of thousands of coins like ours!"
Sun Dali replied, "Money, the imperial court is naturally not bad, but the imperial court has other purposes, which is to calm the people, so when the time comes, labor will be used to compensate."
"What do you mean? The imperial court plans to move those Indians to Shannan Road?" Sun Xiangfu said in surprise.
"There are so many paddocks we can develop here, and the output is so high, it's no wonder His Majesty doesn't think about it." Sun Dali said helplessly.
Although labor may contribute more economic value to Jiuyuan County, there is no real money in the end.
On the other hand, Sun Xiangfu, after being dazed for a moment, said, "This may be more practical, but you have to inform the counties to do a good job in the ideological work of the people in advance."
The large inflow of gold and silver will lead to a certain degree of depreciation, but labor is a real thing that will never depreciate. These relocated laborers must be young and strong. After working in the local area for a few years After being resettled, he can directly serve as a skilled farmer and produce grain for the imperial court. Li Shimin's calculations are not unreasonable.
"That's fine, I'll make arrangements right away. By the way, I heard from the feedback from the neighboring counties that their rice planting for the next season this year is not bad. If there is a bumper harvest, I will definitely come over to thank you. After the autumn harvest, we nine Yuan County may be more lively."
"Heh, I just want to listen to a few more lectures from me. Later, I will talk about their learning stages in each county for a period of time. By the way, in a few days, I will send you some drawings. It is about the design drawings of those high-rise buildings in the county, and some new-style residential buildings. When the engineering team sent by Zhang Chun is in place, you can promote it among the people. I think it is like the people here in No. [-] Courtyard , the family population has increased, and the original brick and tile bungalows are no longer enough to live in. It is time to build larger and more comfortable buildings, and every family now has the financial resources."
"Come on! I'll turn around and I will destroy Zhang Chun and send someone quickly. You can't become a senior official of the Ministry of Industry and forget about us old brothers."
The construction of buildings can not only improve the comfort of living, but also save a lot of land space. With the current situation that there are more than three children per household in the No. [-] Courtyard, and the number is still increasing, the original four-bedroom houses will soon disappear. There will be insufficient housing, and if we don’t find a way to solve it in advance, the people will use their own methods to solve it, and there may be land use indiscriminately.
Of course, the reason why Sun Xiangfu wants to promote these things is to set some new and visible goals for the people who do not have a long-term vision, so as to prevent them from getting rich and getting lazy. Households are not allowed to live in a clean and tidy building.
