In the palace.

Cheng Chubi sat quietly on the edge of the table, looking at the music in his hand.

The brow is furrowed, as if he is a thinker.

Datang's ocean-going team has already set off, whether it can reach the legendary mysterious place, whether it can bring back the legendary plants, it depends on the will of God.

Datang needs food, and only when there is more food can it have more people.

Today's Datang population is less than 100 million.

I have to say that even the population of the Tang Dynasty was not as large as that of the late Sui Dynasty, which has always been a hard wound in the Tang Dynasty.

In this era, population represents the labor force and also represents the strength of a country.

With the current situation of Datang, it is estimated that two billion people can control the whole world, and for Datang, the more the population, the better.

Why?

As long as Datang is willing, the whole earth can be called Tang!

At this time, in the palace.

Cheng Chubi looked at the information sent by the people below, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He has always been struggling, and there has always been one thing that he can't let go.

Think left and right, think hard, think a thousand times!

"That's it, there will be gains and losses, so let's do it." Cheng Chubi sighed, and then signed his name on the order.

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but now it's the only way it is." Cheng Chubi sighed and said.

The next day, the whole Datang was in an uproar.

Tea houses and restaurants, people are talking.

"Have you heard? Datang Law was changed last night, and one of them turned out to be the abolition of the death penalty, and there will be no death penalty in Datang in the future. A businessman with a shiny face said happily: "In the future, no matter how big a crime is, you don't have to die." ”

"Yes, as soon as this law comes out, I don't know how many things will happen, and without this high-pressure law, people will take risks, hey." The other figure shook his head involuntarily.

"It's true, even if you kill someone in the future, you don't have to pay for your life, I don't know how big a deal it will cause, since ancient times, you owe money to pay off your life and kill people, how can you say that change will change?"

"yes, that's getting outrageous, isn't it?"

“……”

These people said, and many people showed a trace of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

How can this be done in this world?

There's no reason at all!

"Heh, you guys are really that good? Killing is not a matter of paying for one's life, but it is about living a life that is worse than death. The person next to him, who had not spoken, smiled coldly and said, "In the future, these condemned prisoners will be sent to the new world to reclaim the new world, to put it bluntly, it is exile!" ”

"Do you know where the New World is?" The man smiled mysteriously, as if he knew.

Sure enough, everyone couldn't help but look at him.

He smiled slightly and said, "As we all know, the south is still a barbaric place, a place of debasement and exile, full of miasma and poisonous snakes in the south, even if it is dead, it is not willing to be exiled to the south. ”

I have to say that in this era, Lingnan is indeed still a reckless land.

From the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, northerners would not go to the Lingnan area to make a living unless they were forced to do so.

Because in this era, the development of the Lingnan area was too small, and there were all kinds of uncivilized peoples, which represented barbarism in ancient times.

Although there are some businessmen who say this, most of the officials who have been officials in the south since ancient times are local people, and then there are some rogue officials and the families of criminals.

For example, in history, after Li Chengqian's rebellion failed, he was demoted to the south, and some other families were demoted, and they were also demoted to the south.

To say something that offends people, the people in the south, especially the people of Liangguang, count up to seven or eight generations, maybe they are some degraded court officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the land was changed and returned to the stream, and then it was the development of the Qing Dynasty, and Lingnan really became a place of civilization and prosperity.

Due to geographical, climatic and environmental factors, ancient people did not like to migrate to the Lingnan area.

As soon as they heard about Lingnan, many people showed horror in their eyes.

In this era, Lingnan still represents a dangerous and wild land.

"I've heard that the environment in this new world is even worse than in the south, and there are still caravans in the south, although there are many tribes, but they have already returned to the Tang Dynasty." The man said mysteriously, "But this new world, that's different. ”

"The New World is still a large forest, and there are still many tribes in the New World, and some of them are cannibals."

"Do you know anything about cannibals? That's a bunch of savages! They are more Hu than the Hu people, even more barbarians than the barbarians, and they live on cannibalism, and if you are alone in the forest, maybe by the time everyone finds you, there will only be a large bone left......" he gushed.

The people around listened and couldn't help but gasp.

It turns out that the so-called new world is such a terrifying place.

No wonder!

"This brother, I don't know what do you know about this?" The fat businessman couldn't help but ask, and he still didn't seem to believe it.

"Hey, I'm not alarmist, I'm listening to my cousin's aunt and Xiao Wang next door to his cousin, and the brother of his cousin's good friend Xiao Li next door is on an errand in the palace." He said proudly, it seems that his relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles are eunuchs in the palace, and he also has honor.

"I see! I see, this kind of punishment is simply worse than death, life is better than death. ”

"Exile in the New World, you can't return to Datang within three generations, this is simply terrible, it's really terrible."

"It seems that it's better to be dead, otherwise I'll be in a foreign land in the future, even if it's the Qingming Festival, I can't give my ancestors a stick of incense, this is unfilial piety!"

"If that's the case, I'd rather die, this new world is too dangerous."

"I'd rather die, this new world is terrible."

“……”

Everyone said.

The Chinese people's local feelings are still very strong, and they have been like this since ancient times.

Generally fine, they will not leave their hometown for too long, and many villages have a heritage of thousands of years.

No matter how well you mix outside, even if you are a marquis, you have to return to your hometown and your village in the end.

As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, and that place is your roots.

If you die outside and can't go home and be buried, you're a lonely ghost.

Your family's cemetery, no one sweeps it during the Qingming Festival, and no one goes to incense, then you belong to the extinct household.

Therefore, no matter how far you go, when you are old, you have to return to your hometown, to your hometown.
