The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp

Countless skilled craftsmen flocked to Mingzhou to build ships for Your Majesty. Not only were they paid high wages, but they were also provided with two meals a day. The workers' daily food standards were clearly posted on the outer wall.

It was also quite unexpected.

The Demon Sect has been accumulating power for hundreds of years since the Western Han Dynasty. They really don't want to follow the example of the aristocratic families, who were pressed on the chopping board by the emperor and had their meat slowly cut by a blunt knife.

It’s better to be straightforward and just empty your family’s wealth.

Sect Leader Xi said that there was a possibility of losing money on this trip, but the chances of making money were greater.

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

At the beginning, because of the concern for the worthless face, the sect lost the opportunity to stand out in the Great Xia Dynasty. Now it is a matter of which sect has a stronger foundation and who pays more money to get the larger share.

.

When the aristocratic families heard the news, they knew that His Majesty did not want to allow the Demon Sect to trouble the people, but also wanted to find a new way out for them.

These people were like sharks smelling blood. They waved their money and asked to join.

There was no other way. In the Central Plains under the rule of Daxia, the noble families had not left any opportunity to exploit the people for at least two generations. Tenants and servants were running away, and when the Daxia court distributed the land, who would be willing to stay with the master?

If they stay in the local area, they will be afraid of your revenge, and the people can flee to other places. Now is the time for the Daxia Dynasty to conduct a census, and the refugees are fleeing to other places to report, and the government will still distribute land.

Xi Mingming had to admit that when it came to propaganda, Buddhism and Taoism were unexpectedly effective in this world.

The earth has a fatal attraction to the people.

If the noble family no longer strives to make progress, Qing will wait for the family to become weaker and weaker until it no longer has any special status.

.

The whole city of Minnesota was crowded with people.

For the sake of public security, Kou Zhong led his troops to station there.

His Majesty the Emperor began to count the progress of the sea vessels on his fingers in Luoyang. This time the system did not fail again. It actually provided a super sea vessel that could be achieved in this dynasty!

Xi Mingming originally thought that he would have to figure it out slowly, but now it saves a lot of time.

.

The court was busy with the unprecedented abdication ceremony, and everyone was very busy.

The protagonist is now free.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compared the map and asked, "Master, why is it Mingzhou?"

Xi Mingming glanced at Li Shimin and said, "You can't tell anything from the map of the Central Plains."

Li Shimin squeezed onto the dragon throne and asked excitedly: "Master, do you have a sea chart?"

Because Xi Mingming was in awe of the supreme authority and the master and disciple were truly close, Li Shimin dared to act so presumptuously.

If Wei Zheng saw this, he would definitely report the emperor and the prince together. I don't know why Wei Zheng is so energetic every day, and he can't stand anything.

"Sea chart? Not yet."

Li Shimin bumped his master's shoulder, "But you know what's going on, right?"

As far as the Emperor's expertise in prophecies and divinations was concerned, the senior officials of Daxia had collectively learned to cover their ears and steal the bell eight hundred years ago.

Of course, this did not stop these people from taking out their little notebooks and recording every word carefully.

"Yes. When I come back, you will know the reason after you have read the complete sea chart."

Maritime Silk Road.

"Okay. You haven't told me why it's Mingzhou. Didn't Master hesitate between Quanzhou and Mingzhou at first?"

"Master has told you and the prime ministers about the great disasters in the next few years. You should know that if you ask which area in the Central Plains has the most development value, it must be this area."

Xi Mingming drew a big circle on the map with Hebei as the center and Goguryeo as the inner part.

Li Shimin tried hard to restrain his greed, "328 million hectares of fertile land."

It turns out that Master went out to sea to train the navy in anticipation of a future expedition against Goguryeo.

Then Mingzhou is closer than Quanzhou.

Xi Mingming glanced at the prince. Ever since she digitized the black soil of the Northeast Plain, from Li Shimin to Xue Bobao, everyone who looked at the map, as long as their eyes fell on the upper right corner, would reveal a look as if they had seen fat meat.

"The equal-field system was very effective in stabilizing the country at the beginning of the dynasty. But once the population grows, if the court loses its strong control over the local areas... the equal-field system will no longer be sustainable."

It's not just land annexation, the bigger reason is official corruption.

Xi Mingming said: "At this time, we must have the courage to change the laws of our ancestors, and we must also seek new growth points for the national finances."

Xi Mingming left some words unsaid.

How did the Anshi Rebellion come about?

The direct cause was the increase in population and corruption, which led to insufficient land belonging to the court, so the military system had to be reformed. The military system was changed from the fubing system to the suingbing system, but the court was short of money... so whoever gave the money would naturally be the one to give the soldiers.

Li Longji's Kaiyuan Prosperity was a prosperous era for the nobles and officials and had nothing to do with the common people.

.

As the future emperor, Li Shimin gestured the distance between Chang'an and the northeast, and then repeated the circle that Xi Mingming had just drawn.

"In your plan, once this area is developed, the population and economic center of gravity of the country will definitely shift here. Master is worried that the capital is too far away and the court will not be able to control the local area. That's why you said before... the capital of Daxia will be temporarily set in Luoyang."

Yes, this is why the political centers of all dynasties after the Tang Dynasty moved eastward and northward compared to Chang'an. From a macro analysis, this is a big reason.

What a talent, pure talent.

She, Xi Mingming, knew that it was a result of historical development that had been predetermined, and countless people had specialized in studying it, which she then put to use.

Where is Li Shimin?

He explored and summarized from Xi Mingming's few words, and came to the conclusion of the research a thousand years later.

.

Li Shimin was in low spirits, "Master is thinking about Daxia a hundred years later."

In a world without Master, would Daxia become very bad after a hundred years? No wonder Master didn't want to waste a moment... to find new growth points for the national finances.

Xi Mingming didn't know what the prince was thinking, but Li Shimin was always energetic and rarely looked listless.

The master patted his apprentice on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Let's do what we can first, and let the rest be left to the future. If Daxia treats the people badly one day, it deserves to be overthrown."

"Master, why don't you hope for something good?" Li Shimin complained, "Wei Zheng will report us again if he hears this."

"So you have to educate Cheng Qian well, and don't hold him to the standards of a saint right after he's just started. What a king needs to learn is how to make decisions, not how to be a moral saint."

Don't make a big deal out of small things and criticize your children harshly.

By today's standards, both she and Li Shimin had poor personal ethics, but no one in the court said a word about it.

Before they set out, Li Shimin was already filled with feelings of farewell. His eyes were moist and his mouth pursed as he said, "Are you in such a hurry to abdicate? Even if you abdicate, do you have to rush to go to sea? Haven't you always been talking about retirement?"

He is only 23 years old, but he has the responsibility of shouldering the responsibility of running the country.

Wait, Master seems to be one year younger than him? Yes, Master is one year younger than him! Then why does he always mistake Master for an elder? Is it because Master is too powerful?

Li Shimin became more and more dazed.

Xi Mingming: Is the kid crazy with joy because he is going to ascend the throne?
