Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji's iron-blooded sweep this time once again showed the world how cruel Li Yuanji was. In many places, the killing was so intense that blood flowed like a river, but the people did not stop.

As for what Li Yuanji did, no one, whether it was Wei Zheng or Kong Yingda, tried to persuade Li Yuanji, because they all knew the reasons now, and in their eyes, these people deserved to be killed.

If we don't kill them, they will only become the source of cholera in the Tang Dynasty. Only by killing them all, leaving no one alive, can it be most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

All of this was soon known to the world through newspapers, and the people were all delighted and encouraged. However, many officials and families could not sleep all night, and it was not until their homes were broken into by the Embroidered Uniform Guards that they completely gave up their illusions.

This purge lasted for more than three months, implicated more than 100,000 people, and nearly 30,000 people were beheaded.

“Your Majesty, all places have already started to work on restoration, and there are many people involved this time.

Fortunately, Your Majesty has brought all these people out. If they were allowed to cause chaos in secret, it would be a threat to the country and the world."

Cen Wenben below was full of emotion. It was already the ninth year of Kaiping, and yet there were still so many people with evil intentions. Cen Wenben was surprised.

Although the number of more than 100,000 people was somewhat shocking, Cen Wenben and others all agreed that it was a good idea to capture and kill them. If these people were not killed, they would only become a factor of instability in the Tang Dynasty, destroying its development and affecting its prosperity.

None of these people are merciful. The current Tang Dynasty is already moving in a direction unknown to them, but what is shown is that the Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful and immensely strong.

In this era, everyone is very clear that this is a special era, an era destined to be remembered by history. Anyone with a little insight wants to devote themselves to it, and many people are not so noble.

It is because in this era that is destined to be remembered by history, what they have done will become the absolute focus of future generations' studies. This is an era that will allow many people to go down in history.

In the past, when reading history books and classics from past dynasties, many people wondered what it would be like if they became someone else. Now that such an era and opportunity that can be recorded in history has come, most people cannot tolerate anyone destroying the development of the Tang Dynasty today.

Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty today attaches more importance to contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty will be respected, even if he is a commoner.

Even officials, if they have not made any contribution, cannot hold their heads up high, let alone stand up straight in front of a group of colleagues.

Although there are problems, they are basically only a small number of people, and the number is still decreasing. Nowadays, more people are eager to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. This is an opportunity to be in the newspaper, to enter the sight of Li Yuanji, to enter the sight of the court officials, and to be remembered forever.

Basically everyone applauded this purge. Those people lurking in the dark should be eliminated. The only regret for some people is that they did not contribute to this matter, and they beat their chests in regret.

Cen Wenben and others were really lucky. If Li Yuanji hadn't used Li Er to lure these people out this time, it would have been a very difficult task to check out so many people.

Even if it was the Jinyiwei, if they were not brought out this time, it would be much more difficult to investigate later. If this was the case with the Jinyiwei, it would be even more difficult for other departments to do this.

Li Yuanji just smiled when he heard Cen Wenben's praise. Although he succeeded this time, he was not very happy. It was precisely because it involved more than 100,000 people that made him unhappy.

It is now the ninth year of Kaiping, not the time when he first entered Chang'an. As a result, there are still so many people participating, especially the power of the aristocratic families. Li Yuanji feels that they are really powerful.

He had killed so many people before, but there were still so many people lurking in the dark and implicated. The marriage relationship between the aristocratic families was really complicated. If it were an ordinary family, it would have been plowed several times long ago.

And those Five Surnames and Seven Families were killed so brutally by him, and there are still such people in the dark. Li Yuanji felt terrified just thinking about it.

And those small countries that were conquered by him and the Tang Dynasty actually still had people thinking about such weird things. He really didn't expect that.

In this era, do those people have a chance to succeed? Can they be better than the current Tang Dynasty?
If they couldn't do it before, how can they expect to do it now or in the future? In Li Yuanji's opinion, there is something wrong with these people's brains.

The past is the past. What's the point of these people not adapting to the new era and still doing the past? Can't they just calm down?

Li Yuanji looked at Cen Wenben and spoke slowly.

"I didn't expect so many people to be involved in this. Now let's get started on the restoration of those important places.

At the same time, the officials appointed must be cautious. Since the situation in those places is so serious, there is no guarantee that there will be people who escape. No one can say for sure. We must select capable officials who can handle these matters. While restoring the situation, we must also be vigilant against those who are secretly causing chaos.

You should pay more attention to this matter and start it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is indeed careful. I will obey your order and arrange for officials to go to the key areas in person later."

Cen Wenben was stunned for a moment. Li Yuanji noticed something that he hadn't noticed yet. This made Cen Wenben reflect on himself and felt that he seemed to be a little inflated.

Compared to when he was in Lingnan, he was much more relaxed at this moment and not as cautious and careful as before. Cen Wenben secretly warned himself in his heart that he must be more careful in the future.

This is not Cen Wenben's fault. The Tang Dynasty is developing smoothly now. Moreover, with the increase of power, the development is getting better and better. It is normal for Cen Wenben to relax a little. After all, he is a human being and it is impossible to keep the string taut all the time.

Li Yuanji did not care about what Cen Wenben was thinking, nor did he want to pay attention to it. Instead, he put away his smile and looked at Cen Wenben solemnly.

"Jingren, there is one more thing you need to arrange, which is to encourage the people to have more children. When you go down, prepare a notice that after giving birth to more than five children, regardless of gender, each additional child will receive some support.

For example, there are advantages in entering colleges and universities, and it is also a contribution. The court can provide financial subsidies, etc., to encourage people to have more children. At the same time, it should be noted that this policy is time-limited and may be revoked at any time, so those who want it will naturally seize the opportunity.

So you have to work out some support that can attract people. Not to mention to please everyone, but to make sure that most people are tempted.

At the same time, I plan to register all matters related to taking concubines, which means that anyone in the world who takes concubines must make it clear, because as long as you take a concubine, you must meet the fertility requirements, otherwise you will face punishment.

What do you think? "What Li Yuanji has to do now is to go all out to complete the system's tasks. With a population of 300 million, the population of Datang increases by more than 10 million every year, and this number is growing all the time.

But at the same time, the number of deaths every year is also not small. Although the increase is faster, Li Yuanji is still somewhat dissatisfied with this speed. He now wants to speed up the growth in order to complete the task as soon as possible.

Li Yuanji was still very envious of the 100 million contribution points. Although the contribution points required for exchanging the technology now were very high, but these 100 million contribution points could also allow him to exchange a lot of things.

Upon hearing this, Cen Wenben fell into deep thought and then looked at Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, if you want to encourage the people to have more children, I think it's okay. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is too large, and many places are short of people. Especially since we often have to migrate people out of the country to make the conquered places belong to us as soon as possible, we need a large population to support it.

Now people's lives have improved and they are gradually becoming prosperous, but there is still a problem. There are still some places where life is still difficult, especially in more remote areas, that is, in the southwest, including many places in the south.

Even in prosperous areas, there are still many people who are poor. Now they have only escaped from hunger and are no longer hungry, but they are not rich at all.

This situation is caused because those places are relatively remote, especially the southwestern mountainous areas, including Lingnan. Some people in Liuzhou Prefecture are still in this situation.

Because there is no industry to support them, there are no factories in those places, and the numerous mountains make transportation difficult. It is extremely difficult for them to communicate with the outside world. Although there are outside merchants coming in, there are not many, and there are not many local people either.

As long as they have the ability, many people will choose to move out and go to more prosperous cities, making further development difficult.

My suggestion is that this policy must be adjusted to suit the differences in each region.

For example, in those difficult areas, it will not be implemented actively, but if the requirements are met, the local government will file a record and issue subsidies. Every year, the detailed expenditures of various places in this regard must be sent to the court.

As for wealthier areas, it will be actively promoted, but the subsidies will be reduced appropriately. In other words, subsidies will be increased in difficult areas, which is equivalent to improving people's lives.

At the same time, the imperial court can issue a notice that if someone wants to get the same amount of subsidies as those in difficult areas, they can transfer their household registration to those difficult places, and people must move there before they can receive the subsidies. Once the household registration is changed, it cannot be changed again within ten years.

In addition, subsidies for difficult areas are distributed based on the household registration and population indicators. That is, the household registration must be correct, and the people must be there. This is also to retain the population in those places and thus obtain development opportunities. "

Li Yuanji listened quietly. What Cen Wenben said were all facts in the current Tang Dynasty. Technology was indeed advanced now, and the people were richer and more prosperous than in all previous dynasties, even in all dynasties in history.

However, there are still some people who can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing.

Yes, it was just reluctant. It was not that Li Yuanji did not want to help, but the territory of the Tang Dynasty was too large, and priority was given to developing more convenient places. The development of those places with many mountains was indeed lagging behind.

Li Yuanji knew even more clearly that this was a difficulty that was difficult to overcome even in modern times, let alone in the Tang Dynasty with its half-baked technology.

It is an indisputable fact that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, and it is also an indisputable fact that there is grain in granaries everywhere. However, the problem in those places nowadays is not simply a lack of food. The problem is that they can solve the problem of food and clothing, but it is difficult to develop.

If we want to achieve development, the priority is to solve the problem of roads, and this is the difficulty.

Li Yuanji pondered for a long time and then spoke slowly.

“First of all, this policy does not need to be changed, nor should it be differentiated by region. My original intention was not to allow them to get subsidies after having children.

If what you said is true, what if someone relies on having children to receive subsidies to make a living?

Giving subsidies is a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Moreover, the subsidies cannot be too much. They are only meant to stimulate people to have more children, not to allow people to use them for profit.

If we want to solve the development problems in those difficult areas, the first thing we need to solve is transportation and roads. Only when the road problems are solved can there be opportunities for development.

What you need to do is not to give too much subsidy when setting it. By then, most people will want it, but it is just a matter of adding an extra pair of chopsticks to their birth. With the current financial resources of the national treasury, it may not be able to be supported for a long time.

And the validity period must be indicated, which is three years. If it exceeds three years, it will be invalid.

Another issue is the road construction in those difficult areas. You should discuss a feasible solution and gradually increase the construction of roads in those areas. Not only highways, but also railways should be gradually built. Come up with a plan. "

Originally, Li Yuanji was going to consider this issue later, but now that Cen Wenben mentioned it, he would just take it out and gradually solve it. It is impossible to achieve it in one step, and he can only do it step by step, and it will take a lot of time, which is an indisputable fact.

Li Yuanji was also troubled by these geographical restrictions. Even if he worked out a plan and implemented it step by step this time, the money needed would be countless. Now that the overall road and railway construction in the Tang Dynasty is underway, there will not be much support for these places in the early stages.

But what else can we do? We can only lay it out slowly. The construction of these infrastructures can only be done step by step.

After hearing this, Cen Wenben didn't say anything else. What Li Yuanji said was indeed a correct consideration, and Cen Wenben also thought it made sense.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will start working on this matter after I go down. However, Your Majesty, I will not invest too much in these places in the early stage. I hope Your Majesty will be prepared."

Cen Wenben heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yuanji nodded in agreement. He was afraid that Li Yuanji would put the cart before the horse and now focus on building roads in those areas, while still giving priority to other places. Only when most places are developed can the current size of the Tang Dynasty be supported.

Then Cen Wenben spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the last thing is the registration of concubines. I think it is a bit unrealistic. Those who can take concubines may not care about these subsidies. Moreover, it has been stipulated before that after taking concubines, as long as the corresponding population increase is achieved, it will be fine.

If this point is further addressed, I am afraid that more people will resist, and this matter will be turned into a secret, which is not good." (End of this chapter)
