The First Family of Tang Dynasty

"This, it has actually gotten to this point?"

Li Shimin stared dumbfounded at Li De, who hurried to report, and subconsciously shifted his gaze and landed on Zhao Kun.

"Zhao Kun, bring some more people to the Luoyang government office quickly, if they have a conflict, stop them as soon as possible.

Besides, let the eldest princess and Cheng Saburo come to see me quickly. quick! "

Zhao Kun immediately took the order and strode out of the house with Li De.

Empress Zhangsun, who was beside her, couldn't help but look worried. Li Shimin looked at those who impeached the governor of Jiaozhou for ignoring Jun'en's grace and interfering with agricultural affairs.

Even forced the people under the rule to plant sugar cane, which caused a grievance in Jiaozhou.

There are also the self-reporting memorials of Gu Da, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Deng Zhizhou, who came from Jiaozhou.

Of course, there is also the report from the embroidery envoy of Jiaozhou, but Li Shimin will naturally not put it on the table.

Caressing his long beard, his face was gloomy, but in the hall, the atmosphere at the moment seemed a little dead.

Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if it was nothing to do with it, but his cold eyes flashed from time to time, revealing a hint of mockery.

Ma Zhou was whispering something to Wei Zheng at the moment, Wei Zheng's face was rather ugly.

After all, he is the head of the Censor's Desk, but he doesn't know the sudden impeachment today.

On the contrary, only a few officials came out to respond, and Wei Zheng finally understood.

"Gu Da, the governor of Jiaozhou, is a capable official. He presides over the military and government affairs of the governor's office in Jiaozhou, and he does a good job."

"But now, some people are impeaching him for interfering with farming, forbidding the people to grow grain, and instead urging them to plant sugar cane.

It was also allowed that the Han and Tang merchants forcibly purchased it for sugar making, causing the entire Jiaozhou to complain. "

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly laughed, but the laughter seemed too cold, and no one dared to stand up and cooperate.

Cheng Yaojin and other elders who were shareholders of Han and Tang Commercial Banks all rolled their eyes unhappily.

His eyes were like knives, falling on those officials and the censor.

Seeing these arrogant, vicious-looking Great Tang generals, the officials and censors who impeached Gu Da and the Han and Tang firms could not help but feel a lot of pressure.

But the problem is, these impeachment memorials are not their intention, but from those behind them.

This is the helplessness of officials from aristocratic families, even if they know that things cannot be done.

But after all, those elders who are far away from their hometowns, the masters of aristocratic families, their right to speak can't even control the court.

But they can control their careers, even life and death...

Let them have to bite the bullet and work hard to show their value for the rights of the family.

However, Li Shimin was not even interested in looking at them. He pointed to the other two memorials on the table, and his tone was still so rigid.

"However, the self-reporting memorials of Jiaozhou Governor Gu Da and others are also very reasonable."

"There are ten states of Jiaozhou, Feng, Ai, Xian, Yuan, Song, Ci, Xian, Dao, and Long under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Jiaozhou."

"Although the jurisdiction is vast, it is vast and sparsely populated. In the ten prefectures, the population is only 100,000 households and 570,000 people."

"Now Jiaozhou Daxing has reclaimed fields and planted three-season rice. The fertile fields in Jiaozhou alone have reclaimed more than two million mu."

"If all three crops of rice are planted, one mu of land will have three crops a year, and you will get seven and a half shi in one year.

Even if you take out a fraction, this year, the two million acres of paddy fields will have an annual income of 14 million stone..."

Having said this, Li Shimin took a breath with a toothache. Damn, this is truly a treasure.

Li Shimin still remembers that when he was last year, the land of Yongning Township in the east of Chang'an City was 73,000 mu, and the harvest was only 85,000 stone.

Most of the fields in Yongning Township are middle fields, and there are also some fertile fields. Folded down, one mu of land is about 1.16 stone.

If it is 2 million mu, the harvest of millet will only be 2.32 million shi.

Compared with the paddy fields in Jiaozhou, Li Shimin's eyes turned red. The yield per mu is seven times that of Guanzhong...

And in the same way, at the moment when this number was reported, in the hall, the same voice of astonishment could be heard incessantly.

All the people and the others don't know what to say. Such a per-mu yield is really arrogant and arrogant.

One acre of land, seven and a half stone, is enough for a person's ration for a year. If you are afraid, two million acres, isn't that...

Li Shimin calmed down and looked at the ministers who were talking about each other. After a long time, he coughed.

Interrupted everyone's gibberish, and continued to give a painful data.

"In Jiaozhou, there are only 32,000 households and a population of only 180,000. Among them, 10,000 households have only migrated to Jiaozhou in the past two years."

"According to the amount of six stones that one person in the Tang Dynasty eats a year, 14 million stones are enough for me to eat in Chang'an for a year, and at least half of them can be saved. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is seven million stones."

"And the land of Jiaozhou, the population is less than 20% of Chang'an..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused deliberately, and unexpectedly he heard the unanimous inhalation sound.

Hearing such a simple and clear comparison, everyone gasped with a toothache. The population of 180,000 has grown 14 million stone grains.

#####

Does this special girl want the rhythm of God? When I thought about it, if 14 million shi, oh no, even only 4 million shi of grain would be transported into the customs.

It will reduce the price of food in Guanzhong by at least 20% to 30%, which is terrifying to think about.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. Jiaozhou is completely a plain. Except for the land where people live and the rivers, almost everything can be cultivated.

"If it were 20,000 mu of land and three crops of rice were planted, the population would be 20% less than that of Chang'an.

When the harvest of one-year-old grain is exhausted, how will the price of grain in Jiaozhou drop? This point, needless to say, the Qing family must have experienced it, right? "

"Because of this, after repeated discussions between Gu Qing's family and Deng Qing."

"I found the Han and Tang Dynasty companies. I hope that the fields purchased by the Han and Tang Dynasty companies will not grow food, but instead grow sugar cane to make stone honey."

"In the first place, if the Han and Tang firms did not grow food themselves, they could purchase food from the local people.

In addition, the cultivation of sugar cane to make stone honey, although not very profitable. "

"But at least it can prevent the occurrence of too much grain in the Jiaozhou area, and it is difficult to transport it out because of its remote location, and the low price of grain will hurt farmers."

"Furthermore, the fields in the Juntun of the Governor's Mansion in Jiaozhou have also been changed to plant sugar cane, which will then be sold to Han and Tang firms at the market price."

"In addition, the Governor's Office of Jiaozhou ordered that all newly cultivated fields should not be cultivated with three-season rice, but only sugar cane..."
