At this time. Li Er finally knew the purpose of Su Li's letter. The current situation just now just shows that the subsequent requirements are the highlight! This made him look weird. "It turns out that King Yongle had this plan in mind." "No wonder I first talked about the current situation in the northwest, but it seems that I can't agree now. That's right. The reason why King Yongle explained to him the current situation in the northwest. This is to pave the way for asking for population and talents. After all, although the Hus in the northwest have surrendered, if there are not a sufficient number of Central Atom citizens. It was impossible to bleed.
Li Er squinted his eyes and looked at the letter, pondering for a moment. no doubt. Population and talent are important for a country. No matter which one it is, it is a top priority and is by no means something that can be agreed to easily. Population is related to the foundation of the country. Talent is related to the growth of the country from "720". There are not enough people and talents. Even if Li Er is the reincarnation of an immortal, there is still no way to start. But the factory Su Li opened in Datang was really greedy. In the few months since Su Li left, Li Er couldn't help but salivate just from the benefits that the spies had discovered. To be honest, if it weren't for Lili's worries. He said that the factory's huge profits would not be released so easily. If there is half the interest in Su Li factory, it will greatly fill the national treasury. You must know that the current tax in the Tang Dynasty is only two dan of grain per household. Although it greatly reduced the burden on the people, it was difficult to support the operation of huge institutions. It can be said that Li Er thinks about how to make money all day long, but he has no ability to pay taxes. Once it gets worse. The people would definitely say that it was because King Yongle Su Li left, so the current emperor oppressed the people. Thinking of this, Li Er felt a headache. In the past, he really had no way to intervene.
After all, he finally moved Su Li to the northwest. If he intervenes, all Su Li needs to do is to raise his arms, and even his position as emperor will be unstable. Li Er recalled the scene when tens of thousands of people came to say goodbye. I can't help but feel a little envious in my heart. He believes that he is definitely no worse than Su Li, and now that the other party has left, it is time for him to show off his talents! And Su Li's factory interests are related to the foundation of the country. It would be great to win half of the share. The treasury has enough silver to support his ambitions. This opportunity should not be missed. He analyzed it carefully again. The desolate and impoverished land in the northwest cannot be generalized to the Central Plains. Not to mention the barbarians who had surrendered, the severe cold weather, barren land, and even disputes with neighboring countries made people want to retreat just thinking about it. Even Su Li, King of Yongle. If you want to absorb the population of the Central Plains, you will only need one to two million people. No matter how big the place in the northwest is, it is more desolate than imagined. Otherwise, it wouldn't be after Su Li's arrival. There are only close to two million Hu people left. One or two million people say it is not too much, but they say it is too little. Although it is not a small number for the current Tang Dynasty, it is not a big deal. And less than one-tenth of the population has received such huge benefits. It's worth it. Li Er pondered, closed the letter, and asked someone to bring the Four Treasures of the Study. "interesting." "I would like to see if your change of customs is feasible. Changing customs seems simple. Although Su Li issued many prohibitions and instructions, frictions and conflicts were bound to occur between Han and Hu people when they got along. There are huge differences in the living habits and diet of both parties. And more importantly. The blood feud between the Hu people and the Han people is no joke. The number of Hu people killed and injured in the war three years ago was probably more than the Hu people still alive today. Their parents, elders, and relatives were all killed here.
Although Su Li can bring endless fear. But it is obviously impossible to eliminate the hatred between Han people and Hu people. But if King Yongle really succeeds, it will be good news for Li Er. At least from now on, the northwest will become the place of Han people. There are no longer the so-called barbarians of the past. but. Since the population is going to be taken away by Su Li, we must carry out policies to encourage childbirth and replenish the population gap taken away by Su Li as soon as possible. Today's Datang has undergone many changes compared to the past. Coupled with the huge profits brought by the factory, it was enough for him to implement the policy. Now that I have decided to agree. Li Er began to write the imperial edict. "Well...the population thing is easy to talk about, but the recruitment order is another matter... "I have to write one more imperial edict." In the past, the order to recruit talents originated from the period of Qin Xiaogong, and the effect was particularly good at that time. Shang Yang was attracted by Qin Xiaogong, thus starting Shang Yang's reform. Li Er also issued a recruitment order. So this matter is not unfamiliar to him, but he is somewhat hesitant in his heart. If Su Li could gain both population and talent, there would be no danger of raising tigers in the northwest in the future. After all, that was King Yongle. Although Li Er believed that Su Li had no intention of seizing power. But after all, Su Li will grow old and die in the future. If the momentum in the northwest expands too much, how to recover it will be a big problem. But after Li Er thought about it for a while, he felt it was impossible. The population of the Central Plains is only one or two million, plus nearly two million barbarians. Only four million people can survive. He was not unfamiliar with the barren land in the northwest. How could it be easy to open up wasteland in harsh weather conditions? It is almost impossible to build large-scale cities like those in the Central Plains! This is not a population problem. But where did the northwest get so many trees? Deserts, snow-capped mountains, and Gobis fill the vast territory of the northwest, and there is no way to build cities of sufficient scale. The vast northwest, let alone the Central Plains, can easily have 20 to 30 million people. Even reaching tens of millions of people is extremely difficult. Even that Su Li.
He is not really a genuine god. There is only so much that can be done in the face of God's limit. Thinking of this, Li Er felt a little relieved. "Isn't it just a recruitment order? I'm curious how many people are willing to go to the desolate land in the northwest. Only King Yongle has this attraction. He also felt that he had sent Su Li away. It’s more or less burning bridges across rivers. So after Su Li arrived in the northwest, he basically agreed to the other party's requests. Moreover, the outstanding soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were left in the entire northwest, and they would not be withdrawn until Su Li truly and completely ruled the entire northwest. Since the other party wants to recruit talents and people, there is no harm in agreeing. Li Er completed two imperial edicts. I scanned it as usual and handed it over to the Imperial Envoy to read out the imperial edict after confirming that it was correct. He took a deep breath, this time the Tang Dynasty will definitely be shocked!
