When the New Year comes, the entire Tang Dynasty feels like it has been pressed. All economic, political and military activities have stopped, and every household is reunited in everything and enjoys the happy time.

Shao Shude stayed in Luoyang and kept working overtime until the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Luoyang is not very popular, with a total of about 20,000 yuan, which is not as lively as Luoyang and the two counties in Henan, but Shao Shude still climbed the Bathing Sun Tower with great enthusiasm and overlooked the whole city.

"It's still lively on the street east of Dingdingmen." Shao Shude praised the gloriously lit Mingjiao, Chunhua, Anye, Xiuwen, Shangshan Liufang.

In fact, it is good to have 20,000 people in the urban area. This is not a wartime period, when the countryside population flocks into the city to avoid war. Under normal circumstances, not too many people living in the urban area.

During the Tianbao period, there were only more than one million people in Henan Prefecture. Those who actually lived in Luoyang City, including the population in the palace, had more than 200,000 people killed.

There is an additional Shenduyuan in Luoyang. Because it is surrounded by a city wall and a palace is built inside, it is therefore larger than that of Chang'an City. However, if this royal hunting ground is deducted, the living area is not as good as that of Chang'an. When Chang'an was in full swing, those who were surrounded by walls and lived in the city, the maximum number of migrant population was only 600,000. If those who lived outside the city were included, there would be a million people.

Luoyang is not as big as Chang'an. There is a very dense population of 200,000 to 300,000 people. No matter how big it is, it cannot be technically supported.

Liufang, the first street in Dingdingmen East, is considered the lifang with the most restored residences.

How many people can live in a yard cannot be generalized. If they are all used to build a mansion of high-ranking officials, there will be no too many people. For example, Emperor Yang of Sui built a mansion for his son and directly used half of the Yirenfang land. In theory, Yirenfang could only live in two households.

But if all small households are built, hundreds of households can live in.

In fact, it is impossible for a house to be granted to all luxury houses for high-ranking officials or to be small-sized households. The actual situation is between the two.

There are currently about twenty households living in Mingjiaofang. The three families of Song Le, Zhao Yu and Wang Ban have the largest officials, and there are about twenty households, most of them are small military officers and small civil servants. The following people have drawn up a list, and Shao Shude has successively rewarded them. After all, military officials need to be rewarded. After all, civil servants need to be familiar with their business and they also need to work.

There are about ten households in Mingjiaofang, so I don’t plan to build a big house anymore, so I try to give it to lower-level officers or civil servants.

Other buildings also need to reserve a portion for ordinary people. After all, people like business and labour also need a place to live.

There are about 30,000 households in the entire Luoyang urban area. In addition, the population of the palace city and the imperial city is about 250,000. With the maximum number of migrant populations entering and leaving, the maximum number of people is 300,000 to 400,000, which will not exceed 400,000.

Although the Mingjiaofang is not large in population, it has strong consumption capacity, so it attracts many merchants and craftsmen. There are many servants and maids in the wealthy families, and they are decorated with lights everywhere. It is even more powerful than the old houses in the Zhang Quanyi era in the east of the city.

Du Hong stood beside Shao Shude, tiptoed to look at An Yefang.

The largest house in Anyefang is pitch black and obviously no one lives in it. It is the mansion of Shao Siwu, the eldest son of King Xia.

The lights were on Chen Changshi's mansion. He should be still in Bianzhou, but his family is in Luoyang. Now they are all celebrating the Lantern Festival. It is very lively inside and outside the courtyard.

It was also very lively inside and outside the Du Mansion. Du Hong's family moved in with dozens of people. Fortunately, the specifications of the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue were quite spacious when they moved in, and Du Hong had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

There are many small Tielin Army officers in Anyefang, with small households and small households. Du Hong talked to them. The house was not as big as the countryside, but he was very happy to live there. After all, it was a mansion in Luoyang City, which was not something that ordinary people could get. They could live in, thanks to King Xia still remembering that these old people who had been through life and death, they fought desperately with the thieves before.

Zhao Su looked at the first fanglehefang on the second street of Dingdingmen East.

He had just received the reward from the mansion, but he was not young. He heard that he had been the residence of Wu Youning, the prince of Jianchang County, before.

In his capacity, he shouldn't have received such a mansion. However, the conversation with King Xia went smoothly and received the reward, which is something that others cannot envy.

Longjian Town is facing tremendous pressure from Li Maozhen. Currently, Chengdu has sent people to recruit surrender. After several talks, it has not been reached.

Li Maozhen definitely doesn't want Long Jian Li Lang Mao's five prefectures to be out of control, and he must take them away quickly. Even if he surrenders to Li Maozhen, he will definitely not be able to protect his territory.

What about King Xia? It is exactly the same as Li Maozhen, and he also wants the territory of the Dragon Sword Five Prefectures.

My father's current attitude is that he doesn't like anyone, but he just guards his own territory and passes it on to his descendants, and will be his foundation forever. Zhao Su understands and agrees with his father's idea - his eldest brother Zhao Ye lives on the grassland, will he not belong to him in Longjian Town in the future?

However, if the battle with Li Maozhen is not good, then you must choose to surrender.

In fact, there is no need to choose, you will definitely join the King of Xia.

In other words, the Zhao family's primary choice is to establish a separatist rule. If it cannot be separatist, it cannot resist Li Maozhen and then surrender to King Xia.

King Xia is a smart man, and he must have seen through their little thoughts. In fact, as long as he is a martial artist, he can guess their thoughts. If you don’t stand independent and separatist, you will surrender. What is that if you are not a beast?

King Xia was also a generous person, so he did not make things difficult for Zhao. He just told them to prepare their troops, equipment, money and food to resist Li Maozhen. If the troops were not strong, they could go to Helong and Lingxia to recruit troops.

Zhao Su was overjoyed when he heard this. The capital for going south to Longjian was obtained by recruiting soldiers from Hengshan. At this time, these hard-working and hard-working soldiers were needed to help.

Helong has been in peace for many years. Taking Hexi Town as an example, there are hundreds of thousands of people. Apart from large-scale grazing, they cannot afford to farm because there is not so much water. Shan, Kuoqi and the grasslands near Zuo, 300,000 to 400,000 Tubos are so poor. I heard that the population in Guanbei is densely populated, and there are 100,000 people in Xiazhou alone, which is twice as much as during the Tianbao period. I am afraid that the water from Wuding River must be used to irrigate farmland. King Xia must also want to consume these extra manpower.

In return, Zhao Su expressed his respect on behalf of Longjian Town, promising that as soon as King Xia’s army arrived, he would join the town to join. As for whether to fulfill the promise at that time, we should look at it again. Anyway, everyone will have a happy conversation and a harmonious atmosphere.

On the other hand, Shannan West Road is not so respectful, and I didn’t see Zhuge Chang coming today.

Zhao Su looked around silently and did not see Zhuge Chang. The talks probably broke down. In fact, he also understood that he would not be willing to surrender if he was in Xingyuan Mansion, unless he really had no hope of separatist and independence.

"Your Highness, the Empress Wu of the past, encouraged the Jingzhao Mansion and the people of Hua to move to Luoyang, exempt from three years of taxes, and to be registered as a Shendu. Your Highness may use this policy to enrich Luoyang as soon as possible." Du Hong said: "In this way, there will be a more prosperous future next year."

"There are not many people in Henan Prefecture, with more than 116,000 households and more than 513,000 households, which is nearly half of the Tianbao." Shao Shude said: "The small Yiluo Basin cannot raise too many people. Even if there are more than one million living people, one household is only more than ten acres of thin land, what's the use? In the end, it's up to the whole world to support it."

Du Hongnuo was speechless and dared not say anything more.

"Luoyang, you can't be anxious, take it slowly." Shao Shude said: "Besides, I still have the family of soldiers who need to be resettled. Without encouraging immigrants in Guanzhong, the population of Luoyang will be enriched by itself, faster than you and I imagined. Ten or twenty years later, you are afraid that there are too many people in Luoyang."

Du Hong laughed dryly.

"However, the trespassers do not need it, but the wealthy and powerful can move some of them over." Shao Shude said.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Lu standing in the corner inadvertently.

As Zhao Lu's eldest son and Zhao Lu's nephew, Zhao Lu, who was appointed as the successor of Chen Xu Town, received a reward from Luoyang's mansion early, namely Li Shi's house, the former Minister of Works, located in Lehefang.

But he has not moved here so far, his family has not come, and even the mansion is empty and there is no furniture to be purchased.

Zhao Lu seemed to feel Shao Shude's gaze and forced a smile: "What Your Highness said is that Luoyang is so beautiful and beautiful. After the Spring Festival, I will send someone to decorate my new house and then bring my little family from Xuzhou."

Shao Shude nodded with a smile and said, "I will send you some gold and silverware tomorrow. The new house cannot be too shabby."

There are basically no major problems with the reduction of Xuzhou's vassals, but from the process, the Zhao family's resistance is very strong.

They didn't expect that they could not even save Xuzhou for a while, and no one was calm about this matter.

But finally, I had the brain. After seeing the Huai Army defeated the battlefield in Qizhou and the battlefield gradually moved eastward, their hope of connecting with Yang Xingmi was shattered, so they dared not stand it.

Shao Shude took the opportunity to point out the matter of Zhao Kuang Ningshi's movement to move to Jingnan, and the Zhao family in Xuzhou surrendered, although they were reluctant.

Wufu, Wufu, Shao Shude has convinced these people. Their thoughts in his mind are too deep, so he has to use urine to wake them up.

The originally huge number of vassal states has been working hard this year, and the results have been quite great.

Hezhong Town took advantage of the rebellion and war and seized food from the tiger's mouth and directly grabbed it. But the efforts of many years cannot be ignored. After all, the Xia army is still very intimidating there, and there is fear in the river, otherwise it would not be that simple.

Chen Xuzhen was barely suppressed by threats, including but not limited to mobilizing large troops to encircle and suppress them.

The Zhao family in Xiangyang moved the town, which was considered a coercion and inducement, but the years of cutting sausages, mixing sand and pressure from the external environment have also played a key role.

Eyue Town was the father-in-law who slashed Du Hong on his back and took it away neatly.

The emperor was far away from the mountain. If it were not for the real threat from Li Maozhen, Shao Shude would have been sure that Zhao Jian and Zhao Su and his son would have resisted the reduction of the vassal states. They are still swaying, and their desire to be lucky has not been completely eliminated. They would not be willing to be beaten by Li Maozhen and lose all their disappointments.

Zhuge Zhongfang was obviously resistant to the reduction of the vassal states and was unwilling to hand over power. But he spoke very beautifully, and sent his son to Luoyang to offer wealth and goods, but he refused to hand over the power of governing and military power.

Tang Dengsui was handed over by his father-in-law on his own initiative. In exchange, Ezhou was basically handed over to the Zhe family, and officials from all over the country arranged a lot.

Huaixi Town is a bit tricky, so Shao Shude puts it at the end.

He planned to find some time to talk to Zhe Silun, as long as he first understood his brother-in-law's thoughts. Once some words were opened, neither side would have any room to retreat. Once his face was torn apart, it would not be so easy to recover from the beginning. This requires an opportunity and sufficient exchange of interests. He did not plan to use tough means for the time being when the Zhe family was turned on.
