Chapter 1,733 Rich Luo
After hearing Luo Zhang's analysis, Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Gaoguli, living in the northeast, had a population of less than three million. With just such a small number of people, how many soldiers could there be? They sent an army of hundreds of thousands to annihilate it.
The Turks have a very large territory, but nomadic people do not stick to one place, and it is extremely cold every winter. It is not easy to live, let alone have more children.
The population is also not large, only one-third of that of the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo is located on a plateau and has an even smaller population.
The combined population of these countries may not be as large as that of the Tang Dynasty. With Luo Zhang's wooden lumps, artillery, and transportation sleds, how can they be invincible?
However, this advantage will not work against the Great Food Country. The Great Food Country has a population of 80 million, which is five or six times that of the Tang Dynasty. It has even more soldiers, certainly five or six times more than the Tang Dynasty.
Without such a large population, we can continue to expand outwards and start wars with alliances of countries.
You must know that the Alliance of Nations is an alliance of more than ten or twenty countries.ωωw.ΚAЙδhυ㈤.ιá
However, even so, it was almost destroyed by the Great Food Nation.
If Longkodo hadn't intervened halfway, the alliance would have been defeated, and the map would have belonged to Habis, not Longkodo.
Therefore, population is a big problem when the Tang Dynasty is about to be destroyed. Let’s not talk about the top master level, but just the soldiers at the grassroots level. The Tang Dynasty can draw up to one million people.
When an army of one million people faced off against the previous Gaogouli, it was crushing to the Turks and other countries, but when it encountered the big food country, it was only a drizzle.
The war between them and the alliance of various countries drew out two million troops, not to mention the subsequent battle with Longkodo's undead army, which drew even more troops.
Without that many troops, the Dashi Kingdom had already been breached by the undead army. This is the number of basic soldiers, which has already crushed the Tang Dynasty several times.
Needless to say, masters. With so many basic soldiers, there will naturally be many masters emerging.
What Luo Zhang meant was to vigorously develop the population. Only when the population increased, more masters would emerge in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin naturally understood what Luo Zhang said, but it was not easy to develop the population!
"Your Majesty, now we only issue decrees to encourage people to have children. For example, if you give birth to three children, you will be rewarded with one guan of money, and then you will be rewarded with one acre of fertile land. If you have four, you will be rewarded with 5 guan of money, if you are rewarded with two acres of land, if you are five, you will be rewarded with 10 guan, and if you are five
Acres of land!”
"Moreover, if you have more children in the future, you can also receive 300 coins per month, which can greatly alleviate the suffering of the people. Children will also study for free. As long as they reach the age, they can arrange to go to school nearby!"
"Our court has provided this money!"
Li Shimin looked at Luo Zhang blankly and listened to his talk. Until Luo Zhang finished speaking, Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Luo Zhang and said: "Boy, what you said is very light, but you have to calculate it."
How much does it cost?”
"How can there be so much money in the treasury? A lot of money has been spent fighting these years. In addition, you have been allocated a lot of money to build the five cities of Anxi. It is simply impossible to accomplish what you said!" Li Shimin retorted.
.
"Your Majesty, I didn't say it would be done at once. It's impossible for people to have so many children at once. Isn't this a matter of taking things step by step and taking your time? Besides, our national strength is not weak now. We have conquered so many
Territory, you said the treasury has no money, who would believe it!" Luo Zhang replied.
This made Li Shimin very angry. He pointed at Luo Zhang and started scolding him.
"You brat, you say I lied to you? Go to the treasury and see how much money you have, and you will be rewarded for giving birth to three children, four children, and five children. When they give birth, who will give the money? You will give it?"
"It really hurts my back to stand and talk. You are just ignorant and incompetent!"
"I give as much as I want, and I don't have much money. When it comes to making money, I still have some skills!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"You give it? Do you really give it?" Li Shimin was stunned and looked at Luo Zhang steadily.
