Chapter 1623 New Era(1/2)

The dynasty meeting in the 23rd year of Zhenguan was very large.

As the prince of the regent, Li Kuan is naturally the well-deserved protagonist.

Whether it was a noble official of the Tang Dynasty or an envoy of the vassal states of foreign countries, they all knew very well that the Tang Dynasty had entered a new era since then.

Even though Li Kuan had not officially ascended the throne, the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty was already in the hands of Li Kuan.

In other words, Li Shimin had already thought about it before his southern tour and came back and he would abdicate the throne to Li Kuan, otherwise no emperor would dare to hand over the military and political power to the crown prince in this way.

Throughout the dynasties, the relationship between the prince and the emperor was the most complicated.

For example, during the Kangxi period, the father and son were even suspected to be at the point of fighting each other.

The big guys in the court are all smart people, and they can clearly feel this change.

So this year, everyone is very honest.

"Your Majesty, according to the current reports from various prefectures and counties, the population of our Tang Dynasty has exceeded 100 million.

And among them, people under the age of 20 account for more than 40% of the total population.

This fully demonstrates that our population has grown very fast over the years.

The population increase plan proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty was very effective.”

In the prince’s mansion, Tang Jian, the Minister of Revenue, personally reported the population investigation to Li Kuan.

This incident was the highlight of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, and it was also the most important fire among the three fires that Li Kuan had taken office as the new official.

Although this fire did not burn anyone, it had a huge far-reaching impact on the Tang Dynasty.

The data counted by the Ministry of Revenue will be arranged by Guanshishan Academy of Computing and Business School to study and analyze the data.

Various analytical opinions alone can form reports like several hills.

“Not enough, or not enough!

Our Tang Dynasty is too big. The area we need to rule now is particularly vast and requires more people to meet this need.

Nowadays, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn seeds are no shortage, and the people's food and clothing problems have become less acute.

At this time, it is best to further encourage population growth.

We must strive to achieve a population of 200 million within ten years and a population of 400 million within twenty years.

Only in this way can the needs of various places be fully met.

Especially the border areas such as Zhenbei Road, Liaodong Road, Qinghai Road, and Western Regions, as well as overseas territories such as North America, South America and South Oceania.

Even if our current management and control capabilities are very strong, as long as the number of Tang people does not have an advantage in the local area, the situation in these places will be unstable.

In the future, as long as there is any disturbance within the Tang Dynasty, people will emerge in these places."

Li Kuan's claim on the population growth of the Tang Dynasty has always been very strong.

Later generations of Braided Dynasties could support 400 million people, not to mention the Tang Dynasty.

A single America can support so many people.

"Please rest assured that the Ministry of Revenue is also considering taking more effective incentives to encourage the people to have more children.

For families with more children, we are even planning to take some preferential measures in taxation.

For border areas, we will further increase our efforts to immigrate, so that the population proportion changes in these places can be reversed faster."

Tang Jian also grasped Li Kuan's thoughts more accurately.

"Well, this is indeed necessary to further strengthen the measures.

All prefectures and counties in our Tang Dynasty are now generally lacking in manpower.

Especially with the start of various railways and the construction of more cement roads, the demand for manpower is even stronger.

Ports everywhere overseas are also constantly introducing various methods to attract immigrants.

If we want these overseas territories to truly become the territory of our Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is to have people.

As long as the people above are us Tang people, even if these people eventually founded the country alone there, they will be descendants of us Tang people after all.

But if the local natives or people from other countries take over the majority, it is hard to say what they will eventually become.”

Li Kuan believed from the bottom of his heart that Tangren is worthy of trust.

The natives from other places now look very docile.

But with the increase in their population and the changes in the entire world environment, these natives will change their minds in minutes.

By then, the people of the Tang Dynasty would become exploiters and the targets of their attack.

This situation is absolutely not allowed to be seen by Li Kuan.

And to change this situation, the best way is to make all the people in these places become Tang people.

Even local natives should be allowed to receive a complete Tang Dynasty education from an early age, so that they can think of themselves as Tang people from the bottom of their bones.

Anyone who promotes other cultural systems is worthy of confrontation.

"Please rest assured that our Highness the Crown Prince, we will work with the Ministry of Education to make every effort to promote this.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the future work of abolishing roads and changing provinces, the Ministry of Revenue has also specially raised special funds and adjusted the future budget plan.

It can ensure the smooth progress of the work of redeeming the abandoned roads to the province."

Tang Jian has now completely relaxed and has completely begun to support Li Kuan without any discount.

If you dare to go against Li Kuan at this time, you will definitely be cleaned up at that time.

None of the people who can get to this level in the court are fools.

No one wants to become the chicken that will be used to kill chickens to warn monkeys after they take office.

Even if the chickens are more powerful and are actually an eagle, they will not change the ending.

...

Chang'an City Envoy District.

Jin Shengqiang is discussing things with Jin Dabang.

Jin Shengqiang, who had just participated in the Tang Dynasty's dynasty meeting a few days ago, had fully seen Li Kuan's influence and the changes in the Tang Dynasty.

So he felt that it was necessary to make certain adjustments within Silla.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Silla can maintain its current priority position by then.

"Entertain, what do you mean is to let His Highness the Queen take some time to come to Chang'an City this year to pay homage to His Highness the Prince of Tang?"

Jin Dabang was obviously surprised by his envoy's advice.

Over the years, although there have been no kings from any country who have come to Chang'an City, most of the time, envoys have been arranged to come.

"Yes, you have seen the current development speed of the Tang Dynasty, right?

The population data for the 22nd year of Zhenguan released in the "Datang Daily" shows that the Tang Dynasty now has more than 100 million people.

What is most terrifying is that after more than 20 consecutive increases in tax revenue, the Tang Dynasty maintained a 22% increase last year.

To be honest, the tax revenue that others increase in a year is higher than the total tax revenue we have over the years.

The most important thing is that their development speed is not obvious at all.

It is obvious that spring has not yet begun, but the craftsmen of Nanshan Construction Engineering have already started to take action.

As long as the ice and snow melt, the railway from Chang'an City to Liangzhou, then from Liangzhou to Suzhou, from Luoyang to Jinyang, to Shuozhou, and to Dengzhou will start construction in full swing.

As for the construction of cement roads, they have been fully laid out.

Coupled with the emergence of various tricycles and tractors, the industrial development of the entire workshop city has further driven the industry.

The development speed of the Tang Dynasty in the 23rd year of Zhenguan is definitely not slower than that in the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

In this case, do you think who else would be the opponent of the Tang Dynasty?

They just don’t look down on our Silla Kingdom, otherwise they could destroy all four countries on the entire Korean Peninsula in minutes.

In this case, it is nothing wrong for us to respect the Tang Dynasty."

Although Jin Shengqiang was considered a great master of the Tang Dynasty, he was still shocked by the changes in the Tang Dynasty.

This development speed is completely beyond their imagination.

The meaning behind so many railways are completely different when they start working together.

The steel production of Datang this year will definitely set another record high.

The steel output in all regions of the world is not necessarily one percent that of the Tang Dynasty.

This is really exaggerating.

"The situation is indeed the case now. No one has the strength to resist the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that even the Tubo Kingdom is now being suppressed in the direction of Qinghai Road.

Before, we were thinking about whether the Tubo Kingdom was located on the plateau and could it cause some trouble to the Tang Dynasty?
