The household registration statistics were completed, and after Li Po read it, he sent it to various ministries to let everyone understand the current severe situation.
Of course, the Ministry of Revenue also said that the current household registration census is not accurate, and there are still many people who have fled the war and hid in the mountains and forests but have not yet been naturalized.
In addition, the wealthy families in various places deliberately concealed their slaves. This was a chronic problem in all dynasties, and it was inevitable in the Tang Dynasty. It required vigorous investigation like the Sui Dynasty.
But overall, there shouldn't be much difference in population.
In view of this, it is normal for the imperial court to issue a round of policies to encourage childbirth, which are mainly reflected in the land system. Paying people money is something that only later people can do, and it cannot be done in this world.
………………
Maybe it really is God's will somewhere.
At the end of April in the fourth year of Yuanzhen in the Tang Dynasty, a seagoing ship patrolled the Donglai Sea for several times. Finally, it selected a place to stop, and then put down two sampans. More than a dozen people crowded onto them and paddled vigorously. It was a rather thrilling landing.
When these people waded through the water and climbed ashore, they lay on the beach to relax, and then they all stood up and gathered around the leader to greet them.
Then he looked rejoicing, but looked at the surrounding environment with confusion.
Whether they are wearing clothes or looking like them, they are 70% similar to the people from the Central Plains. But if you look carefully, you can tell that these are foreigners and definitely not my race.
They gathered on the beach to discuss for a while, and finally agreed that they should have arrived at the destination of their trip, which was Sui Dynasty.
These people don't know how to hide their emotions. When they think they have achieved a goal, they immediately burst into cheers.
When everyone was quiet again, a delicate and slightly sharp voice said in a language completely different from the Central Plains: "Don't be too happy too early, have you forgotten that idiot Jin Baiyan? He also successfully led people across the sea to the Sui Dynasty, but How did it end?
He failed to see the emperor of the Sui people. He only said that many people died here and that the Sui people were fighting, so he fled back like a frightened rabbit. It was really embarrassing to his surname.
I will not be as timid as him. I will definitely lead you to find the emperor of the Sui people, so cheer up. What we have to do now is to find some Sui people and ask them where their emperor lived. where."
In the middle of the crowd, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was giving an impassioned speech.
The girl has just grown. She is not tall and has little ambition, but her figure is slim and strong. After spending more than ten days at sea, her originally fair skin has turned into a healthy bronze color.
An extremely beautiful face, half of which is occupied by eyes. Compared with the small eyes of the people around her, she looks particularly energetic.
But now her image is not very good, her clothes and hair are covered in mud, even her face is covered in dirt, and she looks very embarrassed.
However, everyone took her as the leader and obeyed her like slaves. Almost everyone nodded in agreement no matter what she said and did not dare to disobey at all.
And the idiot in her mouth is that she is her uncle, a descendant of the Jin family of the Silla royal family, and the brother of the previous Silla king, King Jinpyeong.
That's right, the Silla people's envoys once again landed on the land of the Central Plains from the sea.
The girl's name is Kim Seung Man. She is the niece of King Jinpyeong Kim Baekjeong. Her father is King Jinpyeong's half-brother, King Gopyeong Kim Gukfan. Her cousin is King Seondeok Queen Kim Deokman, the current head of the Silla Kingdom.
The Kim family of Silla has held the position of the leader of Silla for more than 300 years. Since the founding of Silla, the authority has never been lost. It has been twenty-seven generations.
It has been six years since Queen Seondeok took the throne. Although she tried her best to maintain it, the situation is not good.
The Baekje people's signs of betraying the Sinbaek Alliance are becoming more and more obvious, and the Goguryeo people are instigating them. It is difficult to maintain the situation of the two alliances to fight against Goguryeo.
At this time, Queen Seondeok and his ministers thought of the Sui Dynasty again. They now needed a strong ally to fight against the oppression of the Goguryeo people and the eager Baekje people.
During this time period, the Korean Peninsula should have entered the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms Period on the peninsula.
Goguryeo went through successive wars and several internal strife, and its strength was greatly weakened. This also allowed the Goguryeo people to intensify their oppression of Silla and Baekje in the south. Now they ask for a large amount of tribute from the ministries in the south every year, so that
Both Silla and Baekje gradually became unbearable.
The domestic situation in Goguryeo is actually very bad. The conflicts have intensified to a certain extent. Maybe with just a slight push, Goguryeo will fall.
The people of Silla saw this very clearly, but the Baekje people were holding back, unwilling to let Silla become stronger.
With Silla's national strength, they may achieve some success in attacking Goguryeo, but they will certainly not be able to maintain the victory, and it is very likely that Goguryeo and Baekje will unite.
Look, it really goes with the old saying, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
A small peninsula is really as complicated as the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony.
Jin Shengman's mission to the Central Plains this time naturally shouldered the mission of uniting with the Sui Dynasty to jointly attack Goguryeo. In addition, she also had to go out to avoid it, because the King of Goguryeo heard about her beauty and sent people to Silla to think of her.
Want to summon her to court.
This caused great indignation in Silla. Queen Seondeok still held back and just sent her cousin out to sea. It is unknown whether this would arouse the anger of the King of Goguryeo.
………………
As a person from the small country of Silla, I have never seen much of the world. I have heard a lot of legends about the west, but the people of Silla rarely interact with the Central Plains dynasty.
The last time they paid tribute was during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so they knew very little about the Central Plains Dynasty.
Judging from Jin Shengman's tone, she knew that she was going to take people to ask for directions so that they could find the capital of the Central Plains people, and then go there to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Central Plains.
Listen, with such simple thinking, it seems that you can reach Chang'an or Luoyang in just a few steps.
The attendants who followed her didn't feel anything was wrong.
Jin Shengman made a lot of gestures, and finally took out the short sword from his waist and waved it to cheer up his men, as if he was here to declare war rather than beg for help.
In fact, they were really worried, because the idiot before said that there was civil unrest here, and they encountered a lot of bandits, and they were very unfriendly, shouting and killing them.
So they made preparations first, and then transported a lot of weapons from the sea ships. The most important ones were of course bows and arrows.
It was the spear, which caused them great disadvantages in the war with Baekje.
