It is undeniable that in recent years, Zhao Kuangyin has had a series of combination punches, both decentralization and centralization, and coupled with the foundation of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty was still quite reliable.

Especially since he was strong and obedient, he had a strong heir, and some rumors could not harm his rule.

Li Jia had no intention of winning it in one fell swoop.

No matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot withstand the erosion of ants day and night. No matter how strong the man works day and night, he will become thinner and thinner, and an iron rod becomes a needle.

Of course, Li Jia is different. As he grows older, he matures day by day, and he is still strong after thousands of blows, no matter how many people are, he can do so.

Now, after five years of hard work in Shenwu, he added a few more children and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family, which has always been extremely hard.

In this way, as of July of the sixth year of Shenwu (965), he had a total of six sons and five daughters, and the total number exceeded two digits.

Especially the Japanese princess who arrived last year and the four dowry concubines gave him great freshness. He listened to Chinese more and learned some Japanese.

On weekdays, those Japanese concubines also speak Luo language. The embarrassment is that they are even more standard than Li Jia's Lingnan style. They poured cold water on his enthusiasm for learning Japan. Fortunately, he has always been a researcher and found that it is easier to learn Japanese when he is on the bed.

Needless to say, he has always studied hard? Sure enough, two Japanese women became pregnant and gave birth to a child.

Less gossip.

Last year, that is, the fifth year of Shenwu? Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangxi Prefecture? And Minnan Prefecture, such a rich place? After a year and four months of land picking up households, nearly 5,000 monks and Taoist priests helped me finally completed this important task.

Of course? There are some reasons why it takes more than four months.

First of all, it is geographically dependent. In the area of ​​Jiangnan and Jiangxi, where are hills densely covered? Mountains are stacked? There are few plains, many mountains and roads, so it is difficult to walk on. Naturally, a lot of time wasted. Needless to say, the southern Fujian Prefecture is everywhere? There are mountains everywhere.

Moreover, this is different from the immigrant places like Lingnan in Hunan? The Jiangnan area is very different due to the isolation of mountains and rivers. The dialect is very different, which adds many difficulties in vain.

More importantly, these places?                                                                                                                            

Fortunately, it was a group of monks and Taoists, and the people still respected them. If they were ordinary people, there would be many people who were beaten to death.

Despite this, with the help of local prefectures and counties, the clan villages were openly chosen to cooperate, and actively sacrificed dozens or hundreds of lives, and they also had to complete the imperial court's large basin.

After experiencing many difficulties and sixteen months, the land population of these three prefectures was finally completed before the summer harvest.

Li Jia also knew what the situation is now. It was not a minority that concealed and underreported. However, the world is ruled by man after all. As long as it is a human being, it will have selfish intentions. It is better to use monks to inspect the land.

Even so, according to the information from the Sound and Sound Department, more than 500 of these 5,000 people were bribed by money and women, which shows the difficulties.

So, why did Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng enter history books? This perseverance and persistence are amazing.

You know, during the founding period of Li Jia, the emperor personally came to an end, and the resistance was so great, so there was no mention of how big the middle and late dynasties were.

"Your Majesty, the local magistrate, and the inspection department came to report that from the fifth year of Shenwu, Jiangning, Jiangxi and southern Fujian, the three prefectures have dispatched more than 800 people to eliminate nearly 55,000 rioters and bandits, of which 30,000 were exiled, more than 20,000 were killed or injured, and more than 1,000 people fled and disappeared."

Zhao Cheng recited these numbers. Although he had experienced many ups and downs, he was also amazed in his heart. The life and death of tens of thousands of people happened last year, all in China and a place of fertileness.

The other prime ministers looked different, obviously the number was too large, unexpected.

"Okay!" Li Jia said happily, no matter what other people's expressions, "The richer the place, the more selfish he is, he is stingy in money, evades taxes, and is now being knocked out with the bandits. It's really awesome!"

"The Inspection Department has made a lot of contributions, and the Ministry of Revenue will give a lot of rewards."

"Yes!" Sun Zhao noticed the emperor's gaze and hurriedly said: "Since the chaotic times, there have been countless thieves and bandits in various places. Now, using the excuse of the inspection of the land, we will go together. It is no less than the healing of the wrist bones. The people can finally be more peaceful. This is a benevolent policy."

The other prime ministers couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Tens of thousands of people died, and they were stubborn and unruly people. They were not to be cherished, but it would be a bit too much to praise them with benevolent politics.

You are so scared of this flattery.

Li Jia nodded with satisfaction and signaled him to continue saying that it would be best to come up with some evidence.

Sun Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Last year, the land of Jiangxi, Jiangning and southern Fujian increased by nearly 500,000 hectares, and the newly registered people were added to nearly one million people. Therefore, there were 3.2 million people in Jiangxi alone, which was the highest among the imperial court."

"More importantly, this year's summer tax, especially in southern Fujian, increased to 3.2 million shi, while last year's summer tax was only 1.2 million shi, which was nearly doubled."

"It seems that the court will no longer worry about money and food." Sun Guangxian exclaimed.

"Some chaotic people are really nothing. It is imperative to check the terrain!" Deng Bin said quickly, with an agreement on his face.

Zhao Cheng was also happy and said, "Fortunately, thanks to His Majesty's wisdom, I saw this scene. In the past two hundred years since the 1990s, how could there be a land inspection in the south?"

This is true. Since the Anshi Rebellion, the world's large-scale inspection of land was still in the Kaiyuan period.

In the fourth year of Wude of Emperor Gaozu of Tang and the sixteenth year of Zhenguan of Emperor Taizong of Tang, they both had the land and the households, so the Zhenguan rule was established.

By the time of Wu Zetian, not only were the frontiers defeated wars (Bohai, Khitan, and Nanzhao all rose at this time, haha), but also had heavy taxes. More than half of the household registration escaped at that time, and the political chaos during the Zhongzong period, there was a risk of a stalemate in the world.

Therefore, from the ninth to the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang spent four years to inspect the local households and obtained 800,000 households, laying the foundation for the prosperous Kaiyuan period.

The inspection of the local area and the enclosure of households has extraordinary significance.

At this time, it is a sign of the country's vitality and a resurgence of prosperity.

Each time it is conducted, it will strengthen the imperial court's control over the local area.

"For those monks and Taoists, they also need to be rewarded. Other monks contributed their efforts to the country and allowed local governments to reward the temple with dozens of hundreds of stakes."

Li Jia saw the benefits of monks and Taoists. In order to keep a steady stream of water, he could not do anything to remove the mill and kill the donkey.
Chapter completed!
