Chapter 134: Go to the palace to take revenge tonight
"In this case, my father should not only think about the old Turkic people."
"What you want to think about is the whole world, not just the two to three hundred thousand households of the old people of the Northern Desert."
"Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are more than a hundred state capitals."
"But the report below said that there are only 3.85 million households in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian shrugged and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway."
"Tell the important point."
Li Shimin was a little impatient.
What is Li Chengqian talking about in this roundabout way?
This kid deserves a beating too much.
Li Chengqian quickly showed a silly smile.
"When I talked to my father about this, I was proposing to him the nationality issue."
"Nationality theory?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian.
"That's right, it's the nationality theory."
Li Chengqian said: "Before we deal with the old Turkic people, I propose to conduct a nationwide census and household registration."
"Why is this?"
Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Does the census have anything to do with the old Turkic people?"
"Of course it does matter."
"You will open up territory for the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"In the future, the old people who will be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty will not only be Turks, but also Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and even Western Turks, etc."
"If we wait until then, the influx of old people who have subjugated the country will not only be hundreds of thousands of households."
"That's millions and millions of households."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and asked seriously: "At that time, can you still manage it?"
"In other words, can you still tell clearly who are the old people of the Tang Dynasty and who are the old people of the subjugated country?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
He seemed to have never thought about this problem.
At this time, he looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "Then your nationality theory can solve these problems?"
"certainly."
Li Chengqian said proudly: "This census is not only to verify the population, but also to mark the nationality and household registration of the people."
“This household registration form must not only be kept by the local government, but must also be sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs for processing. Grand total."
"The identity of everyone in Datang must be registered."
"At the same time, people should also keep backups at home."
"It must be marked on it who is the head of the household, who is the eldest wife, who is the concubine, and even the legitimate children and concubines must be recorded."
"Before getting married, a woman must be registered in her own household registration. After she gets married, she must report to the government and then be registered in her husband's household registration."
"After doing this, my father can consider the migration of northerners to the south."
Li Chengqian finished speaking a lot in one breath and was a little out of breath.
After taking a sip of tea, he said: "The people from the north moved south. Although they moved south, they could not obtain the nationality of the Tang Dynasty."
"If you want to join Datang's nationality, you have to pay a certain price."
Having said this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other.
To be honest, Li Chengqian's words really shocked them.
This method can not only specify the domestic population, but also know the number of people in each household.
This is very convenient for the emperor to control the world.
But why didn't they think of it earlier?
When they looked at Li Chengqian again, not to mention how weird their eyes were.
Is this really girly only nine years old?
This strategy is obviously something that even a person with worldly talents like Changsun Wuji cannot explain, right?
Li Shimin suppressed his surprise and asked Li Chengqian, "I ask you, have you thought about the price?"
"If I hadn't thought it through, how could I dare to talk nonsense in front of my father?"
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "If a foreign man wants to become a Tang nationality, there are two ways."
"One is to marry a Tang Dynasty woman and marry into her family, and you will naturally have Tang nationality."
"The second is to join the rebel army. You must first sign a military contract with the imperial court, accept the imperial court's assignment, and serve in the army in various places for three years."
"During this period, whether there is a war or not, people have to be on standby in the army."
"After three years, you can become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and enjoy the benefits that only people of the Tang Dynasty can have."
"But if you are a woman, there is only one way, and that is to marry a Tang person. After marrying a Tang person, you will naturally be registered as a Tang person."
After listening to these remarks.
Li Shimin took a long breath.
"Not bad, really good."
Li Shimin stood up, walked towards Li Chengqian, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Are you sure you really don't want to be the prince?"
Why are you here again...
Li Chengqian had the word "rejection" written all over him from head to toe. .??.
"Father, don't ask, even if the sky falls, I don't want to be the prince."
"All right."
"Then it's better to be the King of Qin first."
After saying this, Li Shimin took Changsun Wuji and left the main house.
And when Li Shimin passed by the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.
"Little Chuzi!"
"My slave is here."
Little Chuzi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Li Shimin raised his head and said, "Your Highness should not have time to do anything else these days."
"So I'll send someone to move the pool table and those things to the palace later."
Um???
Li Chengqian showed a black question mark face.
"No, father, I have time. I have plenty of time."
"Didn't you tell me that you don't have to listen to the court for half a month?"
"Who said that if you don't have to listen to the court, there will be nothing to do?"
Li Shimin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely cunning smile.
"Tomorrow, you will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Since it was you who gave me the suggestion, you will be solely responsible for the census."
"What?"
Li Chengqian watched Li Shimin leave triumphantly, with black lines all over his forehead.
Have I been tricked by this old man again?
He hasn’t cheated his son enough...
Just when Li Chengqian was full of melancholy, Xiao Chuzi came over with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, , this pool table..."
"Go, go, don't bother me, mother-in-law."
Li Chengqian is about to cry but has no tears now.
The old man cheated him without telling him, and even took away his billiard table.
But what can he do?
He can't be openly quarrelsome with Li Shimin, right?
So isn’t it just a case of looking for a fight on your own?
So Li Shimin cheated him, and he could only endure it.
Li Chengqian watched helplessly as Xiao Chuzi led others to move the pool table away.
At this time, Cheng Huailiang approached Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, are we still playing?"
"The tables are all gone, are you kidding me?"
Li Chengqian felt very sad, after all, those billiard balls cost him a lot of points.
That's what I got back by walking a tightrope on the verge of death time and time again.
But they were all snatched away by Li Shimin.
Robbers, bandits, hooligans...
Apart from these three words, Li Chengqian really couldn't think of anything else to describe Li Shimin.
Suddenly, Li Chengqian snorted coldly: "Huailiang!"
"here I am."
Cheng Huailiang responded.
Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Take Brother Chong to accompany me to take revenge tonight!"
"revenge?"
Cheng Huailiang scratched his head and asked: "Who does Your Highness want to seek revenge from?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Of course it's this old gangster."
Li Chengqian sneered and said: "If you dare to rob my pool table, I will have to make him pay a price."
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang grinned secretly.
I bet you want to take revenge on the emperor.
Cheng Huailiang looked at Li Chengqian with a bitter look on his face: "Your Highness, can I not go?"
"Not going?"
"sure."
Li Chengqian pointed to a hammer next to him: "Show me a hammer and crush your chest, so you don't have to go."
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang suddenly changed his face: "His Highness has given you orders, and I, Xiao Cheng, have no obligation to do so."
"In that case, let's go to the palace tonight to take revenge..."
