Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 739

Sun Xiangfu brought back some real data, such as the population layout of South Asia, which has undergone major changes. At present, the population of Tianzhu is less than 800 million, and the population of the southern countries is only 200 million. [-] million people only.

That is to say, even without counting the newly born population in these years, after Datang established Tammo Road, it absorbed nearly ten million people from this area.

You know, when Datang didn't import manpower from here to the country, there were more than 2000 million people here.

Of course, in addition to Tianzhu, there are two other countries in South Asia with relatively long civilizations and large populations. One is Garuda Lubo and the other is Pyu.

The two countries together have a population of about 400 million. If the population of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty is counted, the merger will be completed, and the Tang Dynasty will have an increase of more than 3000 million people.

From the announcement of the annexation policy, the beginning of the chaos, to the final takeover of the Tang Dynasty, the cleanup of evil religious beliefs, the demolition and reconstruction of land, houses, infrastructure, etc. need to be completed, and the local area will take at least one to two years. how productive.

In order not to cause the local economy to regress, and to quickly move in a good direction, so that all the people can quickly return to their hearts and integrate into the new family of Datang, Datang needs a very huge round of investment in money and materials.

After talking about the actual situation along the general direction that had been basically established before, Sun Xiangfu continued, "After more than ten years of development and growth, the Australian ranch has been able to import a large amount of meat supply for Tammo Road.

After several years of development in Lingnan Road and Annan Road, I believe you are more aware of the current grain output than me.

On the Tubo Plateau, there is basically no need for upward supply from the Central Plains.

Coupled with the surplus grain output of Jiangnan Province and Shannan Province, let alone a population of 3000 million, even if it doubles, it can easily feed them.

However, our starting point cannot only be material. A kingdom with a deep-rooted religious regime like Garuda needs to be suppressed by iron and blood.

Therefore, Yinggong may need to personally lead the army out of Tubo, sit in the local area, and disperse some stubborn people. It is best to ask Master Xuanzang to spread the new Buddhism in the local area, and at the same time, send more cultural groups to promote the Han Dynasty culture. "

The Tang Dynasty has never only had a soft policy, but there is no opponent who needs to use force to fight. The religious culture of Garuda Lubo has always affected Tubo and Yunnan Dao. This is intolerable because it has affected the Han culture. Spread, unify the Chinese civilization.

"What about the Pyu country? The king of this country seems to believe in the religion of Garuda Lubo, how should we deal with it?" Li Chengqian asked after digesting what Sun Xiangfu said.

Sun Xiangfu replied, "For a tribal and semi-religious kingdom like the Pyu Kingdom, you can directly let the chief executive of Shelong lead the army, advance by land, put pressure on them, and then dispatch the navy to directly attack their royal city, and win a battle. .

As long as their king is taken down, most of the local tribes will surrender without a fight. After all, through their business contacts with Nanzhong in these years, most of them have already developed the idea of ​​​​belonging to the Tang Dynasty, and dispatched a large army to attack them. , It is also mainly to destroy their bad beliefs and accept Han culture, not to kill people. "

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, the three of Li Chengqian nodded in agreement. Semi-religious regime kingdoms like Tianzhu, Garuda Lubo, and Pyu Kingdom can be easily taken down with the force of the Tang Dynasty, but if they are taken down, there will be no A strong army acts as a deterrent, quickly allowing the local people to live a good life and generate new beliefs, and then there will be endless rebellions due to religious beliefs.

This is also one of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty possessed a force far superior to several classes in other empires, but did not directly launch a war to achieve great unification. If a cancerous tumor was swallowed, it might poison itself.

Datang's territory is already big enough, winning more land will not make everyone's lives better, so, unification does not mean the unification of the land, but the unification of the people's hearts, only the unification of the people's hearts Domination can be stable and long-lasting.

At present, the belief of the Great Cannibal is the most difficult to deal with, so it is the ultimate goal of the Tang Dynasty. The Byzantine Empire also has their beliefs. Destroy, or make these beliefs harmless, and there will be no more disputes. One of Don's core goals.

"So what's your plan next, teacher? Do you still want to farm around?" After Sun Xiangfu's analysis, Li Chengqian, who already had some ideas, became clearer in his heart and asked.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, when it comes to leading troops to fight, I am far inferior to the generals, and I am not as good as the generals in political ability and diligence. The only way to cultivate and grow is my specialty." It is my wish to make use of this specialty and make it benefit the common people."

To build a territory of ten thousand miles, it is necessary to plant a territory of ten thousand miles, so that the people there can farm, live in, and be able to have enough food and clothing. This is the foundation of stability in this world.

Datang's strategic plan for South Asia can be completed in just over a year, so his planting and development plan for South Asia must naturally be prepared, so that he can follow up quickly at that time.

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, Li Chengqian finally smiled and said, "In that case, the festival talisman given to you by the emperor will continue to be in your hands! I hope that there will be more places in the future that can be used for the imperial court. Demand, supply output."

At this time, Li Tai continued, "The teacher's talent is the best in the past and the present, so he shouldn't be bound by the court. The eldest brother's business is over. Next, it's time to talk about my business. Now, In the Political Affairs Hall, I am in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and other matters, and there are many new problems, can you teach me?"

Previously, the political affairs hall of the Tang Dynasty was headed by Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, the left and right servants of the Shangshu. However, due to the size of the country, there are too many things to deal with, too complicated, and they must be too busy. Yes, so, Li Shimin added Li Tai, Li Ke, Chu Suiliang, and Ma Zhou into the political affairs hall, and they were appointed to the post of Ping Zhang Shi, which means deputy prime minister, meaning to prepare prime minister.

Among them, Li Tai is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, that is to say, he can speak well for the entire culture and education, propaganda, diplomacy, and official system formulation and appointment of Datang.

As the country grows larger and the population increases, the first impacts are actually these areas under his jurisdiction.

Regarding his request, Sun Xiangfu thought for a while and then said, "In terms of cultural education, it is natural to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so that more talents from various industries can emerge and contribute to the development and progress of the country. People with innovative ability should be given more praise and encouragement. This is a long-term persistence, because the development of science and technology is endless.

As for the management of officials, you have to realize that any policies and systems are implemented by people, and managing people well is actually to balance their interests and needs and purify their minds.

In this world, there has never been a perfect system that can be implemented forever, and there is no static person. People who are officials are constantly changing, and their hearts are constantly changing.

You can only strictly implement supervision according to the actual situation, continuously promote the improvement of some mistakes and omissions, repair the existing shortcomings, maintain a mentality of advancing with the times, investigate the actual situation more, hold more hearings, and look at it from a wider perspective. Think about these questions and draw conclusions. "

The easiest thing to destroy a dynasty is always the corruption of officials. The politicians of most dynasties are not mediocre. As long as the management system they formulate is implemented well, a country can be governed in an orderly manner.

This is also the reason why most dynasties, in the early days of the founding of the country, can have a strong and prosperous situation for a while, but after a long time, people's needs will change. In this world, people's hearts are endless, and they can never be satisfied. It is human nature to look at ten at once.

Then, people's hearts are changing, but your system has not changed accordingly, and it has not met everyone's needs. Then, various problems will naturally emerge.

Take the current Tang Dynasty as an example, if you give salaries to the current officials according to the system established in the first year of Zhenguan, it will definitely not work.

Because with the current level of consumption, if you want to live a decent life in society, the cost is much higher than it was ten years ago. If a seventh-rank official can only get a salary of less than three hundred yuan a year, then, He cannot enjoy many things in society.

What should I do if I can't afford to enjoy it?
Use the power in your hands to seek personal gain, so that you can enjoy it!

No matter how many supervision systems you have, even the supervision of the whole people, they also have ways to seek profits and disrupt the market without breaking the law.

Spend the same money, buy the same thing, who to buy, the official in charge of procurement has the final say!
There may be a lot of people who produce the same goods, and everyone wants to sell them while maintaining the same quality and price as others. At this time, find a relationship in private, or some transactions of bribery, bribery, etc. It just appeared, because the official can make a decision.

And once this trend of looking for relationships and accepting bribes begins to emerge, there will be a series of vicious circles of corruption, fraud, and shabby projects.

Officials want to make profits, and businessmen want to make profits even more than officials.

Is it all the fault of officials and businessmen?
Not necessarily, if you reform the official's salary system to a level that can satisfy him with a decent life, the probability of such things happening will be much lower. After all, no one wants to break the law and thus lose their reputation, status and comfort. Life.

In the same way, if many other policies are unreasonable, if they cannot be as convenient as possible for the general public and make them feel fair and reasonable, then they are not perfect.

The common people may be able to tolerate slight bad things, but if it is more serious, the common people will resist your policies. If there are more conflicting aspects, the chaos among the people will emerge.

Sun Xiangfu had a lot of talks with the three brothers on how to develop culture and education, and how to eliminate officials. Due to the accumulation of thousands of years of historical experience, Sun Xiangfu often sees problems from a more objective perspective than people of this era, which benefits them A lot.

Of course, in these respects, Sun Xiangfu is just a talker. He is usually a good old man, and acquaintances usually ask for things that are on his own head. He will do everything he can. As for gift giving, he I'm not very embarrassed to refuse, it's because of my personality.

People like Wei Zheng or Chu Suiliang are the ones who can carry out work like this.

As for the art of using people!In today's world, Li Shimin said that he was the strongest, and no one dared to disobey him. They couldn't ask for advice from Sun Xiangfu.

"Okay, the two of you have finished talking. Next, it's my turn." Li Ke waited for Sun Xiangfu to have a thorough chat about Li Tai's issue before taking the conversation.

Now, he is in charge of industrial development. The current situation is not like in the first year of Zhenguan. Because the Tang Dynasty has been continuously merged into various small kingdoms in the Western Regions over the years, as of this summer, the number of people holding the household registration of the Tang Dynasty has reached There are 500 million people, and among them, 2000 million people are paying personal income tax, accounting for half of all adults in Datang. That is to say, half of the adults in Datang are now working and getting paid.

With such a large group, there are many problems that the courtiers in the past could not understand. Only those students who have graduated from junior high school and have a good understanding of industrial management can solve the problem. Put forward some plans and suggestions for improvement.
