Naturally, every move on such a large scale cannot be separated from Li Er's control. The movement of millions of people and the departing scholars from poor families formed a vast flow of people like an army, and they were organized to go to the northwest. these people. You won’t arrive in the northwest in one go. Instead, they arrive from various parts of the Central Plains in batches based on the distance. After all, with such a large-scale population migration, accidents can happen if you are not careful on the road. Especially after leaving the Tang Dynasty. The road to the Tubo royal court was even more dangerous. Food for millions of people on the road is not a small amount. Even the Tang Dynasty needs time to mobilize, so it is delivered in batches. It is the safest method.
It was also necessary to mobilize the army within Datang to escort in batches. It has just been ensured that these people will not be attrited due to hunger and cold on the way to Tubo. After all, even Li Er understood that this was Su Li's request to him. If you can't even do this, the factory's profits will not be so easy to obtain. Inside Chang'an City. Li Er looked at the memorial presented in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief. "The escorting soldiers are also ready, and the grain and grass carts are also following." "At this rate." "In less than half a month, the first batch of people heading to the northwest will arrive at the royal court of Tubo." "Fortunately, the only people who left were poor officials and landless workers." "Most farmers with land are still reluctant to leave their fertile land and go to the wilderness of the northwest." "This is a good thing for my Tang Dynasty." After all. The environment in the Central Plains is still much better than in the northwest. Even in relatively cold and hot areas, it's not enough to see in the northwest. The farmers who have finally ushered in the prosperous times will naturally not give up their land easily. This is what they have left behind from generation to generation. And this news. The worries in Li Er's heart were put down. The reason why he hesitated about these two imperial edicts before was that he was afraid that the land-owning farmers would give up their land and follow King Yongle to the northwest.
Because once you do. This year’s food indicators are definitely difficult to achieve in all aspects. Food is related to people's livelihood. Once there is a food crisis, the impact will be significant. Li Er didn't want Su Li to have a food crisis in the Tang Dynasty he controlled just a few months after leaving. In this case. The history books of later (bcaf) generations will definitely connect this incident with Su Li's departure. Think he is an incompetent emperor. only this. This is what Li Er cannot tolerate no matter what! You must know that Li Er's goal since childhood was to become an emperor enough to leave his name in history! The former General Tiance was overshadowed by Su Li! But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to take it back! Li Er believes it. As long as he follows his plan. Sooner or later, in the minds of these people, they can be compared with King Yongle! In the past, it was just that Su Li had been restrained for too long, which led to the current situation. He wants the people to understand. After all, he is still the only supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty! And now. Since those farmers with land will not leave too much. This means that there will be no reduction in food production. Although the departure of workers will lead to a reduction in the factory's profits, the most important thing Datang lacks now is people. It's nothing more than recruiting new workers. It just so happened that half of the factory's profits in the future would be handed over to him, so naturally he had to be more attentive. "Well... these poor officials won't have much influence.' Li Er took a rough look. Didn't take it to heart. After all.
The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty only lasted for how many years? Most of them are systems left over from the Sui Dynasty. It is inevitable that there will be omissions in them, and it is not the time for the aristocratic family forces to suppress them now. Since these poor people are unwilling to serve the Tang Dynasty. It's okay to leave. There are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no shortage of people under him who can use them. It just so happens that these poor people can educate the barbarians. This is also good for Datang. The poor families in the province also stayed in the Tang Dynasty and had conflicts. In exchange for Su Li, a poor official and a group of landless workers were exchanged. No matter from any point of view, this is a huge profit! Think of this. Li Er couldn't help but smile. He put the memorial aside and said with a relaxed smile. "Su Li, Su Li, it's not like I made a lot of money this time." He is very confident in himself! Those workers who left actually vacated more positions. Although the population of more than two million was not a small number for Datang. But this is not an unacceptable loss It will only take a few years at most to fill this number. Datang's treasury will also accumulate at an alarming rate due to the factory's profits. Only a sufficient treasury can stabilize the prosperous era. Whether it is disaster relief or the army, a large amount of money is needed. Half of the factory's profits can be obtained so easily. It was simply unexpected! But Li Er could also see Su Li's other plans. He groaned. "Now that I have half of the profits, I have to pay more attention to the factory. Anyone's corruption will have an impact on the national treasury.' "Su Li is still planning, and even I am included in the calculation." "It's just a small contribution. Compared with the country's foundation, it's not worth mentioning."
Yes. Factories are the foundation of the country. Regardless of Su Li's calculations or not, he cannot allow others to be corrupted. Otherwise, when the time comes and the people are in dire straits, he will definitely be severely penalized. However, the other party's plan made him even more concerned. But he is still quite profitable! Officials from poor families are nothing more than a group of unsuccessful scholars. Apart from educating the barbarians, these scholars probably did not have many real talents. Educating the barbarians is something that is beneficial to both the northwest and the Tang Dynasty. As long as it can be completed, there will only be Han people in the world in the future. There is no such thing as a barbarian! The wealthy officials should be left alone anyway, so it would be just right to let them play some role. As for the landless workers leaving the factories. They are nothing more than jobless vagrants. Moreover, this group of people were very loyal to King Yongle, and staying in the Tang Dynasty might be a hidden danger in the future. Since they were all going to be separated, they had to be more thorough. Li Er was thinking in his heart. The more I think about it, I feel that I will make more money this time, and it is not stable! And in the Tang Dynasty. The army escorted the first batch of poor children and workers heading to the northwest. Even though they were facing the increasingly cold weather, no one backed down. Although the northwest is cold, desolate and lonely, King Yongle is their sun! Where is the sun! They will follow wherever they go!
