Chapter 520 Volume 5 National Policy of the Ming Dynasty

After lunch, the meeting will continue.

Compared to the morning, everyone at this time was obviously more refreshed.

But this is normal. Firstly, you have eaten and drank enough, and secondly, everyone has received a reward, so there is no reason for you to have a droopy face.

Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The credit has been paid, now it's time to get down to business."

"Your Highness has given you orders, and none of my ministers dare to disobey them." Upon hearing this, Pu Xiruo immediately stood up and said.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has become the Prime Minister, and there is really nothing he is dissatisfied with.

When the ministers heard this, they all stood up and said in unison: "Your Highness has given you orders, and none of you dare to disobey them."

Li Chengqian saw this and nodded.

This is the effect he wants.

Even though everyone knows that the etiquette of sealing the world like this this morning is somewhat inconsistent, the current Ming Dynasty Royal Court is indeed a grassroots team, and many etiquette things are not understood by everyone. Secondly, today's

The Imperial Court of the Ming Dynasty was indeed Li Chengqian's authority, and no one dared to make a mistake in front of him.

No matter in terms of civility or martial arts, no one in the Ming Dynasty could match him!

Therefore, no one dared to object to how Li Chengqian wanted to reward him.

"Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be." Li Chengqian said, "Compared to two years ago, our Ming Dynasty is on the right track. This is why I have won the world today.

After all, in a dynasty, many things must be on track.

Moreover, all the ministers have followed me through all the obstacles and obstacles all the way to where we are today, and this is what all the ministers deserve."

"I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness." The ministers cupped their hands.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is on the right track, what do you think of the future of the Ming Dynasty?

Although our Ming Dynasty now dominates the Western Regions, it does not mean that our Ming Dynasty can relax up and down.

It may be said that internal and external troubles have been overcome, but there are indeed many problems.

Have you ever seen these problems?"

"What His Highness said is absolutely true." When Pu Xiruo heard what Li Chengqian said, he immediately stood up. As the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, he did not want to be known as a vegetarian. Long before, he had carefully

After thinking about the existing problems of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Chengqian asked about it, he immediately stood up and said, "Now the population of our Ming Dynasty is millions. However, due to the continuous natural disasters and continuous wars in the past few years, although our Ming Dynasty has been fighting from neighboring countries.

Gathering food, but this is by no means a long-term solution.

If neighboring countries follow the example of the Tang Dynasty in the future and ban food from leaving the country, this will definitely be a devastating blow to the Ming Dynasty."

"What Zuo Pushe said is true." Wang Xuance also stood up immediately and said, "Although our Ming Dynasty is vast now, I have been on envoys several times. I have seen along the way that there are only a few acres of fertile land. How to be self-sufficient is what we have to do."

Ming Dynasty’s top priority.”

When the food issue was mentioned, everyone nodded.

This is true. In the past, people in this land relied on nomadic herding for a living. However, natural disasters and wars in recent years have severely affected the animal husbandry industry.

It is not easy to return to the previous level in a short period of time.

This is why no one mentions this, because everyone knows that this is not an easy task.

"Food is the first priority for the people." Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this and said, "Solving the food problem is indeed our top priority, but Wang Shangshu is right. Although the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, there are indeed very few places suitable for farming.

There are few, and the livestock industry has suffered heavy losses due to successive years of natural disasters and wars.

If we cannot solve the most basic food and clothing problems for the people, I am afraid that it will not be long before our Ming Dynasty will be like Tuyuhun."

"Your Highness, although the cultivated land in Ming Dynasty is limited, we can make a fuss about the yield per mu." Changsun Chong had obviously done his homework in advance, and immediately said, "Wei Chen still remembers how many people were entertained by His Highness at the banquet in Chuihe City.

When I was a county guard, I taught them a method of fertilizing.

Why don't we implement this method throughout the Ming Dynasty?

Although the cultivated land in Ming Dynasty is limited, it does not mean that there is no cultivated land for cultivation."

"Shilang Changsun's words make sense." Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "Since the cultivated land is limited, we must find ways to increase the output of each mu of cultivated land. Well, at the beginning, I gave the retting fertilizer to a few people in Gaochunxing

It is indeed time to implement this method throughout the Ming Dynasty."

Although Changsun Chong's position is still that of Minister of Rites, it is slightly different.

In the past, Changsun Chong was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, ranking third in the Ministry of Rites. Now he has been moved to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, which is considered a promotion.

Of course, no one was stupid enough to call Changsun Youshilang before. This is just like the deputies in later generations. Few people who call a certain director have to add a deputy in front.

"But it's still not enough." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he added, "The Ming Dynasty now has millions of people. Although I don't know the exact number, if we only rely on our own little land, we want to feed so many people.

, even if it can barely survive, what if it encounters another famine?

After all, my Ming Dynasty Wang Ting’s ability to withstand pressure is too poor now.

You still need to make more preparations.

As the old saying goes, officials are the parents of the people, but I think this is not enough. Officials are more like the patriarch of a big family. The patriarch of the family has the responsibility to protect his people.

Therefore, I believe that officials should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and should not complain about having no way to deal with it when disaster strikes."

"What your Highness said is absolutely true." Pu Xiluo said immediately, "Your Highness, I would like to ask you to report."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"I would like to ask Your Highness to implement the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty again." Pu Xiro said, "Although we have estimated the specific population of the Ming Dynasty, we don't know the specific population composition.

Thinking back to the beginning, we all knew exactly how many people the Ming Dynasty had in total, how many men, how many women, how many old people, and how many young children.

Only when Wei Chen understood this foundation was he able to coordinate various matters in the Household Department.

With these detailed data, I and others will be able to have a clear idea, even when preparing food and fodder, they can be more accurate."

Hearing what Puxiruo said, Li Chengqian nodded. Puxiruo had obviously reaped the benefits of data.

But not to mention, Li Chengqian still approved of his idea.

Indeed, the Ming Dynasty has now annexed not only Tuyuhun but also the Western Turks. It is time to promote the household registration system again.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal." Li Qinjian also immediately stood up and said, "Although our Ming Dynasty is on the right track, in many places it is still a tribal people.

These tribes may be large or small, with large ones numbering tens of thousands, and small ones numbering hundreds. This in itself is a hidden danger to the long-term peace and stability of our Ming Dynasty.

If the household registration system is implemented again like in the Ming Dynasty, many hidden dangers can be solved.

Moreover, without a complete household registration system, many of our Ming Dynasty’s future policies will be difficult to implement.”

"But will this cause incomprehension among many tribes?" Ashina Nishu said, "Although we have good intentions, for the common people, they may not be able to understand this good intention, right?"

Although Ashina Nishi didn't know the specific implementation policy of this household registration system, when he heard this, he immediately understood that this policy was definitely aimed at their Western Turks.

You know, there are tens of thousands of tribes in the Ming Dynasty, but they are the only Western Turks.

Therefore, in his opinion, this policy is aimed at their Western Turks.

As the representative of the Western Turks in the court, he would naturally not let this policy pass easily.

"Master Ashina doesn't know something." Puxiruo immediately laughed and said, "The so-called household registration system is just a census of the population. This is of great benefit to both our court and local officials.

Harmful.

Regardless of any changes, we can make the most reasonable arrangements based on the specific data we have.

This point has been verified in the previous Chishui source.

As for those large tribes, we have not changed their intentions. Their tribesmen can be classified under the names of their clan leaders.

Moreover, this would be of great benefit to the people of Ming Dynasty without any harm.

Not to mention anything else, in compliance with His Highness's order, I, the Ming Household Department, have started to open the Ming Academy in the thirteen prefectures of the five counties of the Ming Dynasty for more than 40 years. If you want to study in the Daming Academy, the prerequisite is to have a Ming household registration.

There is also Daming Hospital. In the past, His Highness once said that Daming Hospital will provide one penny for consultation to people who hold Daming residence registration, but this is only for people who hold my Daming household registration.

Moreover, these are not the only benefits of holding my Daming household registration?

Slowly, Master Ashina will understand what I said today."

He is also an old and cunning person now. Even though he said this, he will definitely follow the example last time and treat each household as a unit, and all the benefits issued by the court will be allocated to each household.

This encourages people from large tribes to break away from the tribe and set up their own tribe.

Although in Li Chengqian's view, the biggest benefit of the household registration system is to facilitate understanding of the national conditions, in Pu Xiro's view, the biggest benefit of the household registration system is to divide these tribes.

He comes from a tribe, so he naturally knows how much hidden dangers this tribal system poses to a dynasty. Now, as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wants to solve this problem.

Ashina Nizi didn't know what he was thinking. Even if he wasn't worried that the tribe would abandon the tribe and establish its own business, counting the population itself was something he couldn't accept.

In this way, the overall strength of the Western Turks has not been exposed to Li Chengqian's eyes?

How many men, how many women, how many old people, how many children...

With such data, Li Chengqian could easily determine how many string control people there were in the Western Turks. This was not the result he wanted to see.
To be continued...
