Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

On the whole, the situation in Datang is better than Li Ke imagined, or even better than the period not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 1000 years later.

The key here is that the main contradiction is not prominent, or the main contradiction has almost dropped to a certain level. In addition, Datang really has no shortage of arable land. Almost all the people have arable land to plant, unless they give up.

In the absence of arable land, there are very few conflicts among the people in Datang. For example, it is basically impossible for later generations to fight in several villages to grab water, or even kill people, or even directly pull out cannons. of.

Because whether it is insufficient irrigation water or other reasons, the population here is too dense, the local government has long ago encouraged these villages to relocate as a whole.

Who would choose a place to fight because of water when there are better land, better options?nobody.

Again, the people just want to live a good life. For some people whose land is relatively fertile and their life is relatively stable, it is difficult for them to change their life, or it is difficult for them to relocate.

But for those villages whose land is very barren, and the water source for irrigation is not enough, it couldn't be easier to ask them to change places, not to mention that the imperial court now provides them with travel expenses and food.

Although the past dynasties have always restricted the migration of the population, in fact the migration of the population has never stopped, but it was passive in the past, because the people could not survive and migrated by themselves, but now it is active.

It is the process of the imperial court's unified redistribution of the cultivated land throughout the Tang Dynasty. Some fertile and easy-to-irrigate lands are allocated in advance and given priority.

When he arrived in Qinghai, Li Ke probably knew the situation well.

"Xu Song." Li Ke said.

"The minister is here."

"Send someone back and send a document to Shangshu Province to ask the Ministry of Land and Resources to work with the Ministry of Agriculture to re-register the current Datang state-owned land. Especially the relatively barren land that has been replaced."

"To avoid the loss of state-owned assets, and all state-owned land is not allowed to be sold privately. In addition, when counties are responsible for population redistribution, they must register and classify the land under their counties, especially high-quality land."

"Officials in each county must be aware of the land under their own county name and have a well-thought-out plan. As the population increases and state-owned resources and land continue to be allocated, these lands will definitely be redistributed." Li Ke said.

"Yes."

In fact, Li Ke is not thinking about this issue. These issues are just about planning in advance, registering some once barren cultivated land, and allocating land for large-scale planting in the future.

The current Datang cannot achieve mechanized planting, but mechanical products such as walking tractors, it is estimated that there should be no problem in producing them in another 30 to [-] years, right?

At that time, there was some foundation for large-scale cultivation.

Putting aside the land issue for now, after entering Qinghai, Li Ke and the others entered directly from the Huangshui Valley, also known as the Hehuang Valley, which is an important arable area in Qinghai for later generations.

In fact, almost from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, if the dynasties wanted to target the Western Regions, the Hehuang Valley was a must-have for military strategists, because the large amount of cultivated land here can support a large number of people, and it can provide a large amount of food and grass here. Become an important logistics supply point to support the front line.

But now, the land utilization in the Hehuang Valley is not very sufficient, and the population here is sparse. Although the Yongye farmland of each household has increased to [-] mu, the number of households who migrate here is still only about [-].

And there are also quite a few herdsmen who were originally Tuyuhun converted to people who cultivated the land.

However, there is an advantage here, that is, because of tax exemption and other issues, and the distribution of livestock such as cattle and sheep before, the people here have reached the forefront of the country in terms of livestock breeding.

After Li Ke entered the Hehuang Valley, he passed by some villages, and he could see chickens, ducks and other poultry raised in the villages. It can be seen that the people here are actually living better than those in China.

Although they have just joined Datang for a few years.

But this is an advantage. After the herdsmen on the grassland distribute their cattle and sheep to themselves, as long as they can provide them with food and arable land, their property is stronger than that of ordinary people before the Tang Dynasty.

After all, there was no shortage of animal power, livestock, and poultry here. After having arable land, they added the most important piece, and they quickly began to become rich.

In addition to these, Li Ke saw a large amount of alfalfa being planted here. Obviously, each household used part of their own fields to plant alfalfa to raise poultry and livestock.

It was only after entering the Hehuang Valley that Li Ke was able to wander around at first, but soon he had to stop these actions because...he was recognized.

When Li Ke left Qinghai, almost all the Qinghai herdsmen who saw him off on both sides of the road had seen him, and here, obviously, there were people who saw him off.

After recognizing Li Ke, the whole Hehuang Valley was completely boiled.

It is impossible to cover up the news. When one person knows, it means the whole family knows. When the whole family knows, the whole village knows. When the whole village knows.

Anyway, Li Ke didn't know how many people rode directly as if notified from all directions. Who told me that many of these people were herdsmen before, and almost every household here has pack horses.

So the news that he came to Qinghai almost seemed to have grown wings, and quickly spread throughout Qinghai.

Li Ke had no choice but to cancel his original plan. He could only speed up his entry, continue along the original road, and continue in the direction of Chihai City.

But on both sides of the official road, more and more herdsmen and common people came here just to see Li Ke.

They are very orderly, even more orderly than before, because now they all know the direction His Highness is heading, so they don't have to crowd together, they just wait on the road that Li Ke must pass.

Their thoughts are also very simple, they just want to take a look at His Highness who has brought them to their current life, that's all.

When His Highness left that year, he said that he would come back to see them in a few years, but now, His Highness really came back, just to see if their lives are going well, to see if they are living better than before.

And they also want to see if His Highness is fat or thin. It would be even better if they could listen to His Highness say a few words.
