Since the first year of Wude, the population has risen slightly, but the ups and downs are not large.

Fang Xuanling knew that the population report in various places was not sufficient at that time.

Li Shimin quietly used this icon, especially looking at the line of the former Sui Dynasty, from Emperor Wen of Sui to the top, and then from Yang Guang to the most declining.

Pointing to a turning point in data, Li Shimin asked: "I remember that the tenth year of Daye was Yang Guang's third time to send troops to Goguryeo."

"That's right." Fang Xuanling also nodded, "It was at this time that the world had already started to be in chaos."

Li Shimin looked at the top value, with a population of 50 million.

The population reported by the Tang Dynasty today is only 10 million, and Li Shimin is staring at this number.

Population is the foundation of a country's prosperity. With more population, it demonstrates the strength of national strength.

Although he had just ascended the throne, Li Shimin believed that he had been in power and did not expect that he was still so far from the peak of the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing Li Shimin's thoughts, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty has reported that the population has increased rapidly. I think that within ten years, I will definitely be able to surpass the previous Sui Dynasty."

Li Shimin's expression calmed down a little, and seeing that the power of the Sui Dynasty was in a slump after ten years of Daye.

At that time, Yang Guang repaired water conservancy and summoned strong men from all over the world to conquer Goguryeo. This was a lesson.

Li Shimin looked at another line on the icon. The tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty is pretty good now.

This chart shows the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty today, which is too much more than the Tang Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty before.

Speaking of taxation, Li Chunfeng explained: "Your Majesty, I have also seen the taxes shown in this icon, especially the taxes in the Tang Dynasty rose a lot last year. This large part comes from commercial taxes, and one percent of them are from the Marquis of Jingyang County. According to the academy, the commercial tax in Jingyang Fang City accounts for 10% of the commercial taxes collected by the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zheng?

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "So I have to thank Li Zheng for making such a great contribution to my country?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zheng himself has made a lot of money."

Looking at the chart in front of him, Fang Xuanling continued: "Your Majesty, look, the population is increasing, and the tax on commercial tax is also increasing. The biggest problem of the Tang Dynasty at present is population."

"population?"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I don't want the population to grow faster."

How many people died during the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, how many people died when they resisted the Turks, how many people died during Li Jing's southern expedition to Lingnan and the northern expedition to Turks.

I want to restore the population, but the court has to hire people everywhere and do things everywhere, so where does so many people come from?

Today's national policies are all about people's livelihood, and of course, the prosperity of national strength is also required to make all sides surrender.

Li Shimin pointed to an average and said, "What does this number mean?"

"Your Majesty is called the mean. Now there is only one average in the Sui Dynasty. If Your Majesty can allow me to read all ancient books, I can calculate more data."

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty's chart is indeed useful, and maybe it will be of great use in the future."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I am sure. You can read all the ancient books in the Imperial College, the Imperial College, and the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng bowed and said.

Li Shimin whispered again: "I've done it well, I'll reward you with all."

Li Chunfeng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I can't stand the rewards of Your Majesty. This is the idea of ​​the Marquis of Jingyang County. This chart was also discovered by me at the Marquis of County. The Marquis of County used such charts to record the development of Jingyang today. I am just copying it."

Li Shimin smiled coldly: "Li Zheng? This kid's affairs are different. If you make the chart, I will give you a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin continued: "These charts cannot be spread out."

Li Chunfeng glanced at Li Shimin's expression and said, "I understand what Your Majesty means. If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, I will have a request."

"speak."

Li Shimin's expression also began to calm down.

Li Chunfeng said: "Mathematical skills are not useful for becoming a scholar to become an official. There are people who learn mathematics in this world, but there are too few who are proficient in it."

"I understand, mathematics will be included in the imperial examination."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfeng saluted again.

Fang Xuanling was also very conflicted when he looked at these charts. These charts seemed to be simple numbers, but they were not confidential. If these data were spread out in a pantheon, it would be impossible to tell others how powerful the Tang Dynasty is now?

Retracting his mind, Fang Xuanling said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this thing should be stored well."

Li Shimin nodded.

Li Zheng didn't know what happened in the court, but there was a news that Li Shimin asked Princess Yongjia, who had originally married, to remarry, which also demonstrated the system of widows remarrying in the court. To put it bluntly, he still had to have a baby.

The royal family has commended each other and naturally has to follow.

This is a fresh royal scandal and a good topic of conversation after a meal.

However, Li Zheng was having a headache when he looked at the quarrel between his father at the door of his home.

The court not only allowed widows to remarry, but also those who are remarrying, but they are afraid that Li Shimin will lead his troops into the temple and let those nuns remarry. What a heroic scene it will be. Thousands of nuns are forced to get married by the government, which is too terrible.

Of course, my father couldn't let it go. Li Daxiong has taken him to live with him since he could remember.

He didn't see Li Daxiong asking for another wife, he seemed to be very resistant to this matter.

This era is a bit strange, at least Li Daxiong raised himself alone.

Li Zheng pulled the Jingyang County Magistrate to the side and asked, "Can you not slow down this matter? You can't force a good deed... No, you can't force yourself to attack, right?"

"Marquisition, this is not something that the county magistrate can manage alone. If the court had not spoken, I, a small county magistrate, would not have dared to disturb the county magistrate."

"Words come out of the court?" Li Zheng asked in confusion.

There was a sound of slamming the door from behind, and Li Daxiong had already closed the door. Li Daxiong hid far away when it was a matter of not being able to protect himself in the evening.

The magistrate of Jingyang also looked back and said to Li Zheng in a low voice: "The county marquis doesn't know all the decrees that come from the court this time are the first to be powerful and noble families. If the highest family is the highest, you must set an example, so that the people below will be convinced. Besides, what's the difficulty of turning off the lights and turning off the door? Your father is still young."

"He doesn't want me to have any solutions?" Li Zheng said helplessly: "Is there no other way?"

The magistrate of Jingyang County thought for a while, "When the time comes, I will say that the subordinates are not in good condition. The subordinates will not do this. In the future, they will be responsible for the county marquis. The county marquis will give more money to the county marquis, and the county marquis will not lose money."

"You are real."
