Li Xin's soldiers and horses rested in Zhuo County for two days, in Zhuo County, not only the families of Hebei and Shandong came here, but also the people of various tribes on the grassland also came to meet the Son of Heaven, these tribal leaders brought not many people, but the momentum was huge, enough to show the majesty of the Tang Empire.

"Are all the big families here?" Li Xin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Don't let them come into contact with the people on the grassland. ”

"Yes." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, curious in his heart, he didn't understand why he couldn't contact the people on the grassland, but since Li Xin had given an order, he naturally had to obey it.

The arrival of the Hebei and Shandong families has made the entire Zhuo County the core of the world again, and I don't know how many eyes are paying attention here, in fact, so far, the Kanto family does not seem to have made any moves. Whether it is a few big families in Shandong, or a few big families in Qi back then! They all look respectful and respectful, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

In the Linshuo Palace of Zhuo County, Li Xin summoned these civil and military ministers, as well as the world's big families, and said: "Today's harvest is not very good, so even if it is a **** thing, I don't need you to donate some grain and grass, and these grains are better left for their respective clansmen." Although the Tang Dynasty suffered from drought in Guanzhong and Hebei, but Jiangnan is OK, after I prepare for the war, focus on the development of Jiangnan, Jiangnan is a good place, the wind and rain are smooth, there is a lot of rain, suitable for planting rice. ”

"What the emperor said is very much, this year Jiangnan has actually had a bumper harvest, but the population of Jiangnan is still much less, the minister thinks that it is better to move the population of Hebei and Guanzhong to Jiangnan to reclaim wasteland, the first three years, half of the grain produced by the land is owned by the imperial court, and after three years, taxes are collected in accordance with the rules of the imperial court. In this way, people all over the world can be stimulated to take the initiative to go to Jiangnan. The eldest grandson Wuji said out loud.

"No, no. Your Majesty. After hearing this, an old man quickly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, this homeland is difficult to leave, although Jiangnan is suitable for farming, but the conditions in Jiangnan are very poor, miasma is rampant, if the common people go to Jiangnan." There will be a lot of casualties. Lao Yu thinks that it is better to encourage the people of Jiangnan to have more children, and asks His Majesty to investigate. ”

"Your Majesty, he is Bai Xin, the head of the Bai clan of Xiangguo." Song He reminded softly on the side.

"What Mr. Bai said is very true, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is still solved by Jiangnan itself, Hebei has been in constant war for many years, and since the end of the former Sui Dynasty, bandits have been born. I don't know how many people died in the war, Hebei is uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and they are all killed by bandits, at this time. The land of Hebei should be recuperating and recuperating, if the population is relocated, how can it be done? A middle-aged man also stood up and spoke.

"Hu Lu Sheng, a member of the Hu Lu family." Song He said again: "The Hulu family back then was also the magnate of the Later Qi. It's just that he was at odds with Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty and was almost wiped out, and His Majesty was determined to conquer the country. That's when it happened. ”

"Can the population of Guanzhong be relocated?" Li Xin nodded, and suddenly said to Wei Yuancheng on the side.

Wei Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Majesty's holy decree, who dares to disobey it, not to mention the relocation of the people, so that they can get more land, although it is difficult to leave the homeland, but it is better than no land." Hubei and Jiangnan are rich in rivers and fertile land, which is a good place to grow rice. ”

Wei Yuancheng is very smart, he knows when to say something, why did Li Xin relocate these people, not only to develop the economy of Jiangnan and Hubei and increase the grain reserves of the imperial court, but more importantly, to split the family and move some of these people to Jiangnan, so that the people of Hebei and Shandong have land to cultivate, where do they need to rent the land of those landlords?

What is the root of these landlords, and isn't it the common people's? Without these people, the landlords will lose their foundation, so there will be a lot of Hebei Haoqiang opposed. Wei Yuancheng didn't dare to object, on the one hand, Li Xin had already made a decision, even if he opposed it, it was impossible, in this case, it was better to agree to it, so as not to make Li Xin angry and get involved himself.

Sure enough, Li Xin above nodded and said: "What Wei Qing said is very true, in fact, if we attack Goguryeo this time, we will definitely be able to win, whether it is Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, or Linyi in the south, etc.!" These places need us Han people to fill the gaps, some places can be rice can be harvested once a year, but some places can be harvested three times a year, you big families, large population, you can go to those places, how much land do you have at home now, I can reward you with three times the land, give it to you to cultivate, whether it is now or in the future, I only need you to trade two of them to the imperial court, and the rest is your own. ”

"Twenty percent?" There was an exclamation under the main hall, I had heard of the tax of ten before, but with other things, basically half of it was to be handed over to the imperial court, and now His Majesty the Emperor only needs two percent, then he can get eight percent. Such benefits have made these families completely moved. A complicated look appeared on his face in an instant.

His Majesty the Great Emperor is unprecedentedly generous, although the reward is not the land of the Central Plains, but imagine that these places are three times the land now, as long as they are cultivated there for a few years, these places will be a new family again, and the strength of their own family will increase a lot, and even surpass the past, where can such a good thing be found.

Even Wei Yuancheng, Zheng Jibo, Cui Junsu and others all showed a trace of hesitation on their faces, taking the risk of opposing Li Xin, maybe they could get some benefits, or they might be exterminated by the whole clan, but now if it is like what Li Xin said, the family will get more money in the future. It's just that Li Xin does what he says he will do? There was also a hint of skepticism.

"Your Majesty is ready to seal the territory?" Bai Xin couldn't help but say loudly.

"Hehe, Zhongqing has followed me since the previous dynasty to the present, and has made countless meritorious contributions, and the non-feudal territories cannot be rewarded for their merits, so I am ready to list the territories and seal the frontiers, select fertile land from Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Linyi and other places, and reward the Zhongqing according to the size of the merits." Li Xin said with a smile: "Let the meritorious ministers coexist with the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, this has always been my idea, it was not possible before, but now it is different, Silla and Baekje have fallen into my hands, and Goguryeo cannot escape my palm, why can't this?" Li Xin looked very proud, which made people have to believe it. (To be continued.) )
