Section 0938 The Tang Dynasty in Change
Not to mention that Cui Junsu is unwilling, even the Khitan with the smallest population base is unwilling.
Because the Khitan belongs to the integrated nation, and the Fusang belongs to the conquered nation, which in itself is a huge gap.
But the words can be conquered, but they must not be spoken, even if the Fusang people themselves understand it in their hearts, they can't say it. At present, the most annoying thing for all ethnic groups is that the population base of the Fusang nationality is too large, and if the Eastern and Western Turkic Tiele and other ethnic groups are combined into one ethnic group, the population will definitely be the second after the Han people.
At present, in fact, the population of the Fuso is the second largest ethnic group in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin smiled indifferently: "I have heard Liu Juma mention this matter before, you can discuss it again according to Liu Juma's ideas." Liu Juma said that it is not only the number of people, but also the literacy rate and history. Therefore, the matter of the five major clans will be postponed for a few years, and at present, except for the three major clans, the rest of the alternatives will give each clan a chance to choose. ”
Fang Xuanling, Cui Junsu, and Tang Jian instantly understood.
Not only did he understand what Li Shimin meant, but he also heard the slippery head of the Tang Emperor, and it was obvious that Li Shimin didn't want the Fusang family to become one of the five major clans, so he put forward the literacy rate and knowledge of history.
To know history is to understand the history of one's own nation and the great history of the Central Plains.
History from antiquity, Xia, Shang, and Zhou.
And Li Shimin still didn't admit that this was his opinion, and only said that it was from Liumu. After all, as an emperor, you can't obviously show contempt for a certain nation, and the emperor wants a bowl of water to be even.
The affairs of the five major clans of the Tang Dynasty are not a secret, but Li Shimin did not pay attention to them.
As early as seven months ago, people of all ethnic groups and positions began to participate in the deliberations.
However, there are two views within the Fusang people, one is to change their identity card to Han nationality, and the other is to hope to improve the national status of the Fusang people.
Both the former and the latter have also delineated the hierarchical difference within the Fuso people.
The first batch of literate people on Zhuzi Island, the first batch of mulberry people, and the first batch of Japanese soldiers who participated in the Tang Army, these are the first sequence. It is equivalent to a famous family in the aristocratic hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially after the slaves and mulberry servants were added to many Fusang Mulberry villages, this differentiation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Li Shimin's headache is not here, no matter how you count the five major clans, he is the emperor.
So Li Shimin asked: "Two Aiqing, what do you think of the second proposal of the world's great discussion?" ”
Cui Junsu said: "Saints, many of the poor people have no surnames. There are not many tenant farmers with surnames, and this is especially true of tenant slaves. Some time ago, a letter came from the family, and a big clan meeting was held, and the ancestral hall was opened to give surnames to tenants who had followed the family for more than 15 years, and gave them house numbers. Tenants became clansmen, and tenant slaves became clan laborers who signed long contracts. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he leaned forward differently, he wanted to listen to it.
"Sage, the clan has received five thousand Jiaoren, Zhenla slaves, and two thousand Mediterranean slaves, and if the land in the clan is no longer enough to feed so many people in the old way, now the clan has opened a school, especially five iron oxen have been added for teaching, and have submitted a land lease agreement to the general director, renting an area of one million acres, of which about one-third is fertile land, and the rest can be forests, harvesting spices, fruits, etc."
"Oh, is this a big thing, or a small thing?" Li Shimin said in his heart that he didn't know.
Cui Junsu was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Sage, this is a trivial matter." It is so small that there is no need to report it every month, and it is only summarized once at the end of the year. Last year, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War jointly submitted a table on the development of the Indochina Peninsula. ”
"There's this." Li Shimin remembers this.
Cui Junsu said: "At that time, you gave instructions and asked the Ministry of Rites to also participate in it, since the development must have culture and education, and where there are Tang people, there must be a hall. ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded, it is true.
"The development of the Indochina Peninsula belongs to the affairs of the West Port Shipping Division under the General Shipping Division, and it will be handed over to the Sixth Department to take over after the development. The actual figure of the million mu of land leased by the Cui family for a long time is 3.79 million mu. But it can't be taken over at the moment, and most of it is still occupied by the enemy, so it's just the right time to cultivate the skills of the big farm at home. ”
Tang Jian replied on the side: "The Xigang Shipping Division is quite unfavorable this time, a large area of land has been leased out, and countless coins have been collected, and the title deed has not been prepared until now, this matter should be reprimanded by the sage." ”
"Don't." Fang Xuanling stopped on the side: "I know that your Tang family will pay the money at the earliest, but you can't rush the war, don't rush too hard, Yue Guocheng is making every effort to defend the eastward advance of the Six Zhaos, General Hou has already defeated the main force of Zhenla, and General Su has completed the cleaning of the cities by the sea after all, which is quite efficient." ”
"Yes." Tang Jian just complained.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at the fact that there is only one Cui family who supports his big discussion in action, but the Cui family is the head of the five surnames, and this matter seems to be doable.
Come to think of it, after the affairs of the five major ethnic groups, there may be a new round of disputes in Datang, that is, disputes between several major families.
Ashina Dur is not a Turkic tribe, it represents the Turkic royal family, the Ashina family, the strength is also quite huge, at present, the Ashina family alone has more than 40 million sheep and 700,000 horses.
And Feng Ang represents the Lingnan Gu clan.
There are also four ethnic groups with relatively large populations behind the Gu people, as well as a number of tribes with small numbers of individuals, but they are their own tribes, which can be regarded as extremely small in number.
Fang Xuanling asked at this time: "Sage, I don't know what the third article of this great discussion is?" ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment and said: "After this third article, it is all based on the second article, and I believe that there should be changes in the scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce. ”
"Please let the saint speak." Fang Xuanling stood up and asked Li Shimin about the topic just now.
Li Shimin took out a thick booklet, and Fang Xuanling didn't let the clerk in to take the booklet himself.
Li Shimin then said: "I think that the four categories of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are also considered to be superior and inferior. This scholar should also be distinguished from the inferior, not only those who can read and be endowed with books are scholars. So the three Aiqing, I ask you if Du Zichun is a farmer or a scholar. Li Chun is a worker, or a scholar. ”
Du Zichun carefully studied the improvement and planting of vegetables, especially the winter storage and greenhouses, which can definitely be said to be better than the blue.
Let's talk about Li Chun, because of Li Chun's extensive disciples, Datang's bridge-building technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.
If it had been placed in the past, Li Shimin would never have dared to build a railway from Chang'an to Luoyang.
