Chapter 1081 Population
This official suddenly jumped out and said this, I'm afraid it's just because he has a lot of land at home.
After all, if the policy of land ownership is proposed, as long as you are not a fool, you can definitely see that this policy will definitely be beneficial to the country.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if this policy is implemented, it will be of great benefit to the people, how can there be chaos?" When the eldest grandson Wuji saw that Comrade Lao Li did not say anything, he knew that it was time for him to stand up.
"The minister seconded the proposal, once this land state ownership system is implemented, it will inevitably reduce the burden on the people of our Tang Dynasty, this is a policy that is beneficial to the people, how can it be chaotic?" Fang Xuanling also said.
When the speaker saw two court bigwigs jumping out to scold him, he immediately stopped talking, after all, he was just a small speech official, and the two people who stood up to scold him were both big men who played a pivotal role in the court.
And he just felt that it was not good for him after listening to this policy, so he jumped out to oppose it, and now he also understands that this policy has already been decided, and it is not like taking it out for discussion at all.
In fact, although Comrade Lao Li will not act arbitrarily on some major policies, at most he will only ask his confidants to discuss them, and if most of his think tanks agree to it, then this policy will only be a formality when it is brought to the court as soon as possible, and no matter how loud the opposition in the court is, it will be useless.
After all, as long as it is something that Comrade Lao Li has identified, there is basically no possibility of change.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are very supportive of the nationalization of this land, but the land that you have rewarded is not only in the court, but also in the hands of those begging ministers, can the emperor consider giving them the land of those beggar old ministers, after all, they have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty all their lives, and this land can be regarded as a reward for them."
At this time, Xiao Yu also stood up and said.
The other officials are afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, but Xiao Yu is not afraid, and what Xiao Yu said is also his heartfelt words, he is now older, and the time in the court is getting less and less, so when Xiao Yu is thinking about the problem now, he is more from the position of the old ministers who are begging bones.
Hearing Xiao Yu say this, Comrade Li's face showed a thoughtful look.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what Xiao Yu said, for example, Du Ruhui, he really worked all his life for Datang, to be precise, he worked hard for Comrade Lao Li all his life.
Even when Du Ruhui fell, it was all because of overwork, so now Xiao Yu's request seems to be very reasonable.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Yu say this, even the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling had nothing to say.
Zhang Nan saw that there was something wrong with the style of painting, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must not be done." Zhang Nan said.
"Oh? Does Qingquan have any different opinions? After speaking, Comrade Lao Li secretly gave Zhang Nan a look, signaling that this matter could be considered, and asked Zhang Nan not to say it to death at one time.
However, where did Zhang Nan manage so much, Zhang Nan naturally saw the look that Comrade Lao Li gave him, but he chose to ignore it, after all, if he is determined to promote the nationalization of land, it must be treated equally, and once there is a specialization, it will definitely fall short in the end.
Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill. That's the truth.
"Since the emperor is determined to implement the nationalization of land, then all the land in the hands of all the nobles should be recovered, after all, this is the policy of the state, and it will be written into the "Tang Law" in the future, if there are exceptions, then it is not outside the law, if someone can control the law, then what else do you need to do?" Zhang Nan said.
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Xiao Yu stood up and said.
"Lord Zhang, the old man doesn't dare to agree, these old ministers have worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, what about giving them a few acres of thin land?" Xiao Yu said.
"Lord Xiao is so big, which noble doesn't have a hundred acres of fertile land in his hands? How many people can be fed by this 100 acres of fertile land? Now these hundreds of acres of fertile land have become a few acres of thin fields in Lord Xiao's mouth, which is really amazing. Zhang Nan also sneered.
"The old man is just an example, now that my Datang already has potatoes and other high-yield crops, this people will naturally not have the worry of starvation, will this hundred acres of land become the field of starving my Datang people?"
As soon as Xiao Yu said this, the ministers all nodded and began to whisper, indeed, potatoes and corn have begun to be promoted on a large scale, even if the people of Datang don't eat rice, they will never go hungry, after all, the output of this thing is too large, plus the winter greenhouse, the current Datang really doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Zhang Nan was also angry after hearing this, he worked hard to let Comrade Lao Li go to sea to find high-yield crops, and then vigorously promoted it throughout the Tang Dynasty, and now it has become a tool used to gag him.
How could Zhang Nan swallow this breath.
"Lord Xiao, do you know how many children my Datang ordinary people have in their family now?" Zhang Nan suddenly asked a puzzling question, this question was that even Lao Li, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't know what the use of Zhang Nan asking it was.
However, since Zhang Nan asked, Xiao Yu also gave his own answer after thinking about it for a while.
"The people of Chang'an City have at least three or two children in a household."
In fact, this is still a conservative estimate, after all, having more children and more blessings has always been everyone's thoughts, and when there is war or can't eat enough, everyone naturally doesn't think so.
But now, don't say that you can't eat enough, as long as you are diligent in your hands and feet, you can even live a good life, so the people of Datang naturally have enough strength to have children.
Datang is vast and sparsely populated, and Comrade Lao Li also encourages childbearing, after all, the population also represents the strength of a country to a certain extent.
"Yes, even if it is a family of three children, in the next ten years, there will be adults who can give birth, and these three children will have three more each, and in twenty years, there will be nine children each with three children, may I ask Lord Xiao, how many children are there now?" Zhang Nan asked.
When Zhang Nan asked, Xiao Yu was suddenly stunned.
