Li Shimin secretly thought that five years may not be enough. Before he could say it, Li Mu continued: "Maybe in less than five years, most people in Luan County will have completed the urbanization reform.
Let them farm the land, but they won’t do it.”
"Urbanization?" Li Shimin was a little confused when he heard this new term. Li Mu saw Li Shimin's appearance and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, urbanization means that people gradually change from farming for a living to working.
Crafts and other professional types of work. Just like Chang'an and Luoyang, Chang'an has a population of one million. How many people make a living by farming? I am confident that in less than five years, the prosperous business brought by Mingzhou Port will be enough to support these people.
To an area with millions of people, by that time, the proportion of local people's income in Luang County will be very low. They will no longer care about whether Turks have occupied the land, and they will even take the land away from them.
Let them be farmed by the Turks in exchange for a job at the port."
Li Shimin suddenly understood and said: "This is why you have to force the farmland not to be left uncultivated. If the people who have allocated the land cannot cultivate it, they can only share the land to the farm, and the farm is controlled by the court. Okay! This is
Great plan!"
Li Mu added, "In addition, I would also like to express my congratulations to His Majesty. Li You and the others came back from Linyi this time and brought back enough seeds of two-crop rice. They also brought back more than thirty old farmers in Chenla. These old farmers
Experts in planting two-crop rice, they will definitely teach us the technology of cultivating two-crop rice in the shortest possible time. Starting from Luang County, it will gradually be promoted to Jiangnan. Your Majesty, imagine if the paddy fields in Jiangnan will be used in the future.
If you can harvest twice and set up permanent warehouses to store grain in good years, do you still have to worry about being caught off guard when disaster strikes?"
Jiangnan has always been known as the granary. If it can be harvested twice, it can at least increase Datang's total annual grain output by 40%!
What is this concept? This is equivalent to the fact that the grain reserves used to raise troops no longer need to be taken from the mouths of the people. Even when the Sui Dynasty was at its most powerful, it did not achieve this. Li Shimin has begun to imagine that the Tang Dynasty
A million soldiers shocked the barbarians and came to court from all directions.
His breathing became heavier, he stared into Li Mu's eyes and said, "Can you do it in five years?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Maybe it won't take five years."
Li Shimin was silent, he knew that this was the time limit given to him by Li Mu, five years, maybe less than five years, before Li Mu would retire as he said.
Five years later, Li Shimin had not thought about what to do. In fact, subconsciously, he did not want to think about it. He was familiar with historical records, and the experiences that the emperors in the historical records left for future generations all told Li Shimin that people like Li Mu
, if it cannot be used for your own use, the wisest way is to eradicate it.
But Li Mu was frank with him, but he really couldn't bear it and couldn't do it——
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little confused. He stood up and said, "I will try my best to support you in whatever you want to do. Just go ahead and do it. I'm a little tired."
Li Mu hurriedly got up and sent Li Shimin back to his room to rest. After washing his feet, he also lay down. He had to inspect the port tomorrow and had to get up early to set off.
…
While Li Mu was inspecting the port, the decree had been issued, and the first large-scale Turkic inward migration in the Tang Dynasty had begun.
In fact, what Li Shimin did not tell Li Mu was that he had discussed this matter with Fang Xuanling many times. He had even sent envoys to Hetao and conducted a lot of investigations overtly and covertly. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have been able to rely on what Li Mu said.
You promised such a big thing.
Originally, Li Shimin also planned to migrate some people to the Central Plains in the coming spring to give it a try. However, the original plan was to move the entire tribe and place the people among several Zhechong mansions, so that these people could work for these few tribes.
Ge Zichongfu grows military rations.
Such an arrangement can ensure that the Turkic tribe cannot rebel. However, Fang Xuanling pointed out that doing so will definitely make the Turkic people dissatisfied. Even if these Turkic people are given reasonable arrangements according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, they will still
You will feel that you are enslaved by the Tang Dynasty. Over time, you will become alienated from others. So Fang Xuanling's suggestion is not to do this unless you think of a better way.
Now, here comes a better way. After receiving the letter from Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling immediately wrote a letter to the province and formally issued a decree to relocate 30,000 Turkic proletarian households to Jiangnan.
All the preparations made before were put into use. Five thousand propaganda announcements were printed, written in two languages, and distributed to all the tribes in the grassland.
The conditions given were written clearly and clearly. It immediately caused an uproar in the grassland. The Turkic nobles naturally regarded this as their enemy, but the Turkic people were all rejoicing. Just as Li Mu thought, their
Life is indeed going to be difficult. All they want is a stable life.
How could it be so easy to leave? The Turkic nobles gathered their troops and guarded all the intersections, not allowing the people to go south. As a result, conflicts broke out among many tribes.
The news reached Ashina Simo. In just a few days, Ashina Simo seemed to have aged ten years. He looked senile.
What should he do about this matter? No matter what he does, it seems to be wrong! As the Great Khan of the Turks, the most important thing he should do at this time is to gather troops and go to war with the Tang Dynasty. No matter whether he wins or loses, he must
This was done because what the Tang Dynasty was shaking was the foundation of the Turks.
Population is the foundation of any nation. Just imagine, if the population is gone, can a nation still be called a nation?
But from a rational point of view, Ashina Simo knew that this battle cannot be fought because it will definitely not be won, and the consequences that will follow are simply not something that the current East Turks can afford.
What matters in fighting is the right time, right place, right people, and the right people. At this time, the Turks do not want to occupy anything.
