Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Although Li Ke didn't know what these families were thinking, he could guess it. As long as they collectively felt that this matter could be done, someone would definitely start to push it.

As for buying slaves, this is not a problem in the first place.

Slaves are only in name only, and you treat them like ordinary people after you buy them. What kind of behavior is this?This is simply a saint, okay?

Anyway, Li Ke will not be involved in this matter. Currently, this matter is left to the court for discussion. Naturally, someone from them will inquire about it.

But what Li Ke didn't expect was that before the Li family in Longxi came to the door, it was Li Zhen'e, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, who came to the door first.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhen'e, has met." Li Zhen'e saluted Li Ke.

"Uncle Li, you're welcome. We are a family and don't want to see anyone outside." Li Ke said with a smile. It's not the time to go to court anyway. Li Zhene is also Li Yan's godfather, so Li Ke also gives him this face.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. The reason why I accept Her Majesty the Queen as my adopted daughter is just to fulfill the mutual love between Your Majesty and Your Highness. Other than that, it is really shameful." Li Zhen'e said quickly, this uncle is a millionaire. It is absolutely impossible to accept it.

"Haha, it's okay. There is no one else here now, so why are you here this time?" Li Ke asked knowingly.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. I heard that your Majesty intends to develop different areas of the Tang Dynasty in the form of state-owned commercial banks. I wonder if your Majesty is ready to implement it? And whether there are related areas?" Li Zhene asked directly. He did not hide it. He also knows His Majesty's character.

I don't really like this secretiveness.

"Well, there are some. For example, there are several areas in Xinjiang Prefecture that are under development. Although these areas were originally located in the 36 countries in the Western Regions, the population of the 36 countries in the Western Regions is not large, so it is far from completion of development. There is still a long way to go." Li Ke said with a smile.

Xinjiang Prefecture.Hearing this answer, the Zhaojun Li family hesitated for a moment. Although it was said that it was the Tang Dynasty, it was a bit far away from the Zhaojun Li family.

"Does your Majesty have any other places?" Li Zhene continued to ask.

"What? Your Zhaojun Li family has some ideas?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am not very generous. In recent years, thanks to Your Majesty's pioneering of commercial development for the Tang Dynasty, the business of the Tang Dynasty has rapidly begun to prosper, and business taxes have also increased sharply along with the scale. The same is true for the Li family of Zhao County. Made some money.”

"But it is not the same thing to always put the money earned at home. Now that the Tang Dynasty court needs it, the Zhaojun Li family is also obliged to contribute to the development of the Tang Dynasty."

"Of course, Your Majesty must think that what I said is false, but this time I, Mrs. Li of Zhaojun, do have this idea." Li Zhene said very straightforwardly.

"Then do you know that for the construction of this kind of state-owned commercial bank, the state will support the establishment of the state-owned commercial bank with policy support of land and related areas, and later dividends and other shares, and you need to provide enough funds in real terms."

"And you have no actual control over the state-owned commercial banks except for the funds. Of course, you have contributed money and are allowed to send financial and other personnel to review and supervise the financial expenditures of the state-owned commercial banks." Li Ke said with a smile.

Some things just need to be stated clearly and truthfully. Whether they jump into the trap or not is their own business.

"Of course before coming here, I also learned about the relevant policies in the imperial court, and also had a practical understanding of the funds spent." Li Zhen'e said honestly.

"Oh? So since you have thought about it, why did you make this decision? After all, wouldn't you make more money by investing your money in other fields?" Li Ke asked curiously.

Li Zhen'e hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is actually our internal idea, mainly because now that the family has grown and made more money, there are not many fixed assets that can be purchased. Datang also did not allow large-scale private purchases of land, etc."

"You misunderstood this." Li Ke smiled slightly and said, "Datang will open up the purchase of private land in the future, allowing you to purchase private land on a large scale, whether it is 10,000 acres or [-] acres. Even if you buy [-]+ acres, the Tang court will allow it."

"Ah?" Li Zhene was stunned.

10,000+ acres of land?This...if every household bought it like this, how could the Tang Dynasty ensure the supply of food and other aspects?

"Of course, large-scale land purchases are allowed by the court, but the land after purchase also has requirements. For example, it is not allowed to be abandoned or idle. It must be planted according to the requirements of the court. If it is abandoned and idle, the court will take action. Relevant persons will be fined heavily.”

"It is even possible to take back the relevant land. This is to protect the country's food red line. I said this in court. In addition, as long as it is in compliance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, these lands are allowed to you. Purchased." Li Ke looked at him and said.

Although the current industrial base of the Tang Dynasty is only in its infancy, and its commercial foundation can only be considered in its infancy, because the population is not large, the Tang Dynasty is different from other dynasties and can completely ignore land annexation.

Of course, there is a premise. The annexation of land is under the control of the state, which means that the land must be in a planting state and cannot be left idle. Even in some grain-producing areas, the land must be grown according to the requirements of the court.

Moreover, Datang has also guaranteed the hired workers for planting, so you can buy this kind of land at will.

Because it can be seen with the naked eye that Datang's population will definitely be in a state of less people and more land for many years to come, because of Datang's current speed of technological development and industrial development.

In the future, the industrialization of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably develop gradually, and a large number of people will gradually form urban areas. In the future, people will farm less and less. In this case, large farms will inevitably appear.

In fact, in 2023 before Li Ke traveled through time, this trend was actually already happening in China. Almost all the remaining people in rural areas in a large number of grain-producing areas were people over 50 years old. After this group of people passed away.

In some rural areas where there are young people, some young people have begun to contract land in the village, establish collective ownership, and start farming.

This trend will inevitably gradually expand to foreign mechanized farming methods. In places such as Xinjiang, which were originally sparsely populated, large-scale drones and mechanized farming methods have already begun.

Datang just took this step forward. Of course, this cannot be regarded as a trap.It is a good thing that families like these are willing to devote themselves to agriculture, because what can I say about the families who will devote themselves to agriculture in the future? Due to national restrictions, their influence will not be very good.
