Pei Shiqing said at this time: "The register is in the register, and if you really count the population, you have to add others." For example, tenant farmers, slaves, monks, foreigners, etc. are not registered, so few people can really say for sure the actual population. ”

Qin Qiong also said: "The household department has calculated that if the monks return to the laity, and the tenants, maids, servants, servants, etc. make a register, then there is no problem with doubling the actual population." ”

What Liu Mu knows is that the monks and nuns alone have an actual population of nearly two million.

This number frightened many people, and also made Fu Yi more determined to demand the belief of destroying the Buddha, these people should create value for the Tang Dynasty, instead of being outsiders who see through the red dust.

In real history, it took another 100 years for Datang to reach its peak population, about 9 million households.

It is also said that the total population of the Tang Dynasty did not exceed that of the Sui Dynasty, which was controversial in later generations.

However, at present, the cost of registering the population of tenants, maids, servants, and servants is too high, and there is no practical benefit, and these people do not pay taxes or anything, so no one wants to do this work.

"Off topic, we're talking about the sea. The first governor of Kumamoto Port, the meaning of the governor is ......" Yanagi felt that the governor seemed to be only available in the Ming Dynasty, so he planned to explain.

Scholars like Pei Shiqing immediately recognized the word: "It's always what Kumamoto has, and the governor is the overseer." The name of the governor is good, and it is also useful for Liu to put General Liu wrong to take charge of everything in Laizhou. ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Mu laughed dryly, bypassing the matter of arranging Liu Renliang in Laizhou in advance.

Liu Mu said again: "Kumamoto needs to kill a majestic and bloodless kill. ”

"How to kill without seeing blood?" Qin Qiong didn't understand, killing is killing, and killing will see blood.

"One of the characteristics of the Japanese is that they like to kill others or kill themselves. Unless we have a big enmity and want to see life and death, our green forest competition is mostly to the end. ”

"Yes." Qin Qiong agreed with Liu Mu's statement.

Liu Mu continued: "The Japanese people are different, even if they meet on the street and want to compete, they are also dead to death. ”

"So what is a bloodless kill?" Qin Qiong asked.

"It's to beat him until he's desperate, but don't kill him. There is a half chance that such a person will commit suicide on the spot, and half the probability is that this life will go to the winner. If we want them not to kill themselves, then our people have to be cool enough. ”

"What's cool?"

"It's cool, eldest brother-in-law, you stand there and look at the Japanese people coldly, neither happy nor sad, let you run out of tricks, it will make you return in vain. When you hit the Japanese in despair, turn around and leave, without even looking at them, and the Japanese may follow you like dogs. ”

Liu Mu's explanation was agreed by Pei Shiqing.

Pei Shiqing said: "The Japanese people will be extremely arrogant when they are extremely inferior, but they worship the top powerhouses like crazy. is willing to sacrifice everything for it, of course, there is another one that I can't understand, this is a loss of women's morality, it is really unreasonable and incredible. ”

Liu Mu took over the topic: "You always say that the Japanese will sacrifice their women, and then carry a child and bring it back." ”

"Yes!"

"It's not hard to understand that it's called borrowing. Because the strong will make their race stronger, this is an extreme practice under extreme inferiority. In the course of my negotiations with the Su family, there was this clause. I won't go into the details, they don't really matter. ”

Liu Mu avoided this topic, which was disgusting to orthodox thinkers of the Tang Dynasty.

"I think, you still have to go to Kumamoto in person, just like when the West Port Shipping Division was first built, there must always be someone who understands things." Qin Qiong gave Liu Mu advice.

Liu Mu didn't want to go much, running around was far from being comfortable at home.

"Tomorrow's banquet, where will you put it?" Qin Qiong saw that Liu Mu didn't answer, and asked about tomorrow's things.

"Tomorrow ......" Liu Mu originally wanted to put Taoyuan Xiaozhuang, but he was a little hesitant, and he didn't want Su Wuling to hear some words. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

"Why don't you put it here?" Qin Qiong suggested.

Qin Qiong's Zhuangzi in Jingyang is big enough, originally there were many pro-soldiers living here, and now the 3,000 pro-soldiers are all trained in Qingheyu, and 600 people will be selected in the future, and the rest Qin Qiong is ready to distribute to those subordinate generals who originally followed him. These men have led the troops on their own and need some reliable personal guards.

And Qin Qiong herself knows that it is impossible for her to go out to lead the army again.

The Zhuangzi in Jingyang was almost empty, except for the few people who stayed behind, there were a few small workshops and warehouses in Liumu. The glass workshop was expanded, and the place here was not big enough, so it had been moved to a vacant lot next to the Zhuangzi of Ruojingyang, Dugu Lan, in the north of Jinghe, and a new workshop was built.

"It's fine." Yanagi thought about it and agreed.

The next step was to send someone to transport the ingredients prepared by Taoyuan Xiaozhuang, and then transferred two cooks and some florists from the Jinghe Wharf to simply repair the weeds in the yard.

Banquet guests.

No one believed that it was a real feast.

The next day, in addition to the old figures of the wealthy families, the people who came here shot Xiao Yu in person to the left servant in the center, and the right servant shot Fang Xuanling in person. The rest of Du Ruhui came, wearing official uniforms. Cui Junsu also arrived, and he was wearing an official uniform.

They knew very well that today's banquet was the real first preparatory meeting of Donggang Shipping Division.

When he arrived at Qin Qiong's Jingyang Zhuangzi, Du Ruhui pulled Qin Qiong aside: "Yiguo Gong, the people you sent to the north are all elites?" ”

"Naturally, it is an elite, and the major event of the expedition to the north must not be neglected." Qin Qiong didn't understand why Du Ruhui asked like this.

Du Ruhui explained to Qin Qiong: "The Emperor Taishang gave Li Jing a big trouble, I heard that Jieli fled north, and the Emperor Taishang had to go to the Turkic tent to take a turn, and now several important ministers in the north are trying to persuade him. Yesterday I asked the saint, and the saint said that he did not dare to persuade him, and he could not persuade him. ”

Qin Qiong said helplessly: "I can't persuade either, this matter can only be dragged on, and once it snows on the grassland in a few days, this reason is enough to send the Emperor Taishang back to Chang'an." ”

"That's all there is to it." Du Ruhui only said these things and stopped, and changed the topic: "Today, Liu Juma doesn't know what food to prepare, and all the food in the world is in Princess Changping's mansion." ”

"I don't know." Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the courtyard at the same time.

There is no need for Qin Qiong to send people to the north again, there are already enough people there, and Li Jing is there, Li Ji is there, it is the post-war work there now, and there is no strength for Jieli within a thousand miles.

When Qin Qiong and Du Ruhui came to the main hall, the people had basically arrived.

Who is qualified to sit here and what position, Datang itself has a rule, almost no one needs to take the seat, and it will also sit in its own suitable seat.
