Princess Huainan said, in fact, Tuli also wanted to agree, but there was a step missing, and now that there is a step, it is natural to go down it.

"Since that's the case, Prince Tang, sign the covenant!"

Tuli took out the covenant he had prepared long ago, signed his name on it, and stamped it with his seal. After reading it, Li Wenhao also stamped his seal.

That night, Tuli graciously entertained Li Wenhao and his party. Early the next morning, Li Wenhao and others packed up and saluted, and returned with the more than [-] people who returned from the exchange.

Don't look at how long it didn't take for Li Wenhao to come, it's a long way to go with so many people when he goes back, although Li Wenhao has made people set off several times in advance, but compared with the imminent time of spring plowing, it is still not enough .

"Hey! I don't know if this year's spring plowing will come in time!"

Looking at the mighty team, Li Wenhao felt a headache.

"You can ask others to help them reclaim wasteland in advance, and then let these people take over when they arrive in Hebei."

Ashinayun's voice came from Li Wenhao's side, and Li Wenhao was awakened instantly.

As a modern person, Li Wenhao really wanted to give himself a big mouth, but he didn't even think of the simplest assembly line work.

"Send people back to inform Cen Wenwen and Zhang Juzheng, and ask them to quickly mobilize some soldiers to reclaim the wasteland, so that these people can take over directly after they arrive in Hebei, and try not to delay the spring plowing."

After the order was given, Li Wenhao turned to look at Ashinayun.

"I can't see that you know a lot besides doing business."

His words were very frivolous, and his behavior was very frivolous, which made Ashinayun blush again.

A few days later, Li Wenhao led Qingqi back to Fanyang City first.

At this time, Fan Yangcheng's appearance has changed a lot since he left. With the joint efforts of Zhang Juzheng and Cen Wenwen, Fan Yangcheng's popularity has increased.

"Everyone, I see that Fan Yangcheng is building a large building, why is that?"

Cen Wenwen, Mu Yikuan, and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other with a smile, and finally Mu Yikuan stood up.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the Hebei Road is now in a state of waste, and what is most lacking here is people."

"After discussing with several people, I decided to expand Fanyang City and make Fanyang the largest city in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and then establish a chamber of commerce in the city, which includes all kinds of exotic goods from all over the world. In that way, my Fanyang City It will definitely develop as soon as possible, not only Fanyang City, but even the whole of Hebei and Youzhou can become a grand scene under its leadership."

"Okay, but, don't be eager for quick success and instant benefits at the expense of the people's livelihood."

"Prince, please rest assured!"

Li Wenhao looked at the people below with satisfaction, and admired him sincerely. He did not expect that such a modern commercial center would be invented in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. Not only was it invented, but it was also being implemented.

"Your Highness, there are some difficulties in recruiting soldiers now. After the people heard that His Highness is going to distribute farmland, although our army pays well, most people still prefer to work in agriculture rather than join the army."

"During the time you went to the grassland, we have only recruited 5000 soldiers, which is still far from your goal!"

Fan Xing stood up and said.

The conscription policy in Hebei can be said to be the most generous in the Tang Dynasty. As long as one member of the family joins the army, the tax reduction will be reduced by three levels, and each additional member will be reduced by two levels.

The military salary is even more outstanding in the Tang Dynasty, but who is willing to wear his head on the waistband of his trousers if he can farm safely?

"This is indeed a difficult task. Nowadays, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Beiwei Army, and the Flying Tiger Army require large-scale conscription. In addition to the troops in other places, at least 15 troops must be recruited."

"These 15 people, although they can be afforded and afforded after Hebei Province has undergone some adjustments, the people want to live a stable life after all, which is a difficult task."

"Everyone, is there any good way?"

A group of people look at me and I look at you, and they can't speak for a long time.

The good way Li Wenhao said is naturally not the kind of compulsory conscription, but to seek personal wishes, and there is a bottom line that everyone must abide by, that is, a household must leave a strong laborer to farm and support the family. a guarantee.

"Brother, I was studying today, and I saw a method in the book. I don't know if it can be used?"

Li Chengqian stood up after thinking for a while and said.

"Tell me, second brother"

Li Wenhao nodded in satisfaction. It is a huge improvement for Li Chengqian to stand up and put forward opinions. In the past, Li Chengqian was always a spectator.

"I read an ancient book that said that Bingxian Han believed in the method of conscription."

"All the newly recruited 5000 people under the command will be sent back with food and salaries, let them go back to their hometown, and tell them that they must return to the camp one month after the spring plowing, otherwise they will be counted as deserters."

"When you return to the camp this time, if you bring back five people, this person will be the commander of the army. If you bring ten people, you will be the commander. If you bring a hundred people, you will be the commander of the centurion. If you bring a thousand people, you will be the commander of the thousand commanders. His army..."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present lit up like cats, and Li Wenhao walked up to Li Chengqian excitedly.

"Brother...Brother, did I say something wrong?"

PS: Resuming the update, there are still two chapters, which are being written.

Chapter 157

"wrong?"

"No no!"

"I didn't expect Gao Ming to grow up, he knows how to use what he has learned, he is good, he is good."

Li Wenhao patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder in satisfaction, causing Li Ke to feel envious for a while, pay attention, it is envy, not jealousy.

Under the training of Li Wenhao, even though Li Chengqian and Li Ke are brothers, they are also competitors. The competition here is healthy competition, the kind of competition that everyone would like to see, because only in this way can they grow.

"Brother, I think that in addition to this, we can also provide free reading services for the children of the families of those who joined the army. Anyway, now my Tang Dynasty has no shortage of books, and there is no shortage of gentlemen."

"There are many enlightened men who can read and write"

"In this way, these soldiers can experience the intentions of the elder brother, and secondly, it can also let everyone see that we attach great importance to the army."

Li Ke stood up and added.

Li Wenhao never expected that it was his two brothers who solved his big problem.

Patting the shoulders of the two with satisfaction, Li Wenhao looked at the others.

"What do you think, but is there anything wrong or needs to be added?"

"Your Highness, the ministers think that there is nothing wrong with it. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, but it is also a clever plan."

Cen Wenwen bowed and said that in terms of seniority, only he and Fan Xingneng spoke on behalf of everyone. Although Li Wenhao's subordinates don't care about anything, there are still some rules that should be followed.

"That's right, Your Highness, the second prince set the time after the spring plowing, which proves that it will not affect the spring plowing, and our military conscription has always left a male for the family."

"And what the third prince said is also very reasonable. We provide free education for their children and reduce taxes, which undoubtedly solves another worry for them."

Zhang Juzheng also interrupted.

"And, Your Highness, I have another suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You're not the first day with me. If you have anything to say, just say it. My East Palace doesn't have so many rules. As long as it's for the development of people's livelihood and for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there's nothing you can't say, even if you take my East Palace away. !"

"That minister said it!"

Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and seemed to be thinking about the consequences of finishing this sentence.

"Your Highness, I would like to take the entire land of Hebei Province as state-owned and distribute it to the people under the state. The land will be distributed according to the head. No trading, no trading, no occupation of other people's land is allowed. After death, the land will be returned to the state. "

As soon as Zhang Juzheng's words fell, the discussion hall in the small prince's mansion rang out.

If Li Wenhao implemented Zhang Juzheng's suggestion, he would be on the cusp of confrontation with the aristocratic family again.

"Your Highness, although this plan is good, is it a little too hasty?"

"My Tang Dynasty still has a lot of aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families have considerable power in the local area. If this is the case, there will be more turmoil!"

Cen Wenwen stood up and said that he did not object, but according to Zhang Juzheng's approach, he was indeed a little anxious.

He believed that if he didn't come out to pull Li Wenhao, relying on Li Wenhao's vigorous and resolute character, then he would definitely agree, and immediately began to implement it without hesitation. Of course, now that he comes out, he may not be able to pull him.

"That's right, big brother, Master Cen's words are not unreasonable. Now we should develop first."

Li Ke also stood up and said that although they admire Li Wenhao, it doesn't mean they don't have their own ideas. This is another place to grow.

clap clap!

Li Wenhao clapped his palms, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I understand what you are saying. I dare not say it if I am far away, but in Hebei Province, I am the sky. I think Zhang Juzheng's idea can be implemented, and it should be implemented as soon as possible. We will start to divide the fields according to the current spring plowing."

"Everyone, make an iron law for me. Anyone who dares to violate the principle of dividing the land will be killed, and there will be no mercy!"

"I don't have aristocratic families in Hebei Province, and there won't be any in the future. Slowly, not only in Hebei Province, but also in the entire Tang Dynasty. I want to distribute the cultivated land occupied by the aristocratic families to the common people."

"I want to cut off the possibility of the family reappearing from the root."

"Zhang Juzheng, do it with all your strength. At present, the most important points are spring plowing, land distribution, conscription, and business. Everyone, please work hard."

"Yes!"

After everyone retreated, Li Wenhao intentionally left Li Chengqian and Li Ke behind.

"You two are not bad. I can see that I have made great progress during this period of time, but don't be proud. You are princes and princes, and this is not enough."

"What the elder brother taught us, we will certainly not disappoint the elder brother's teaching."

"Okay, let's go down, have a good rest, you'll be thinner after a few days, don't go back to Chang'an when Mother and Aunt Yang are saying that I abused you two"

Watching the two younger brothers leave, a huge blueprint appeared in Li Wenhao's eyes.

Although he was not a farmer in his previous life, the nine years of compulsory education made him understand how important the step of state ownership of land is, especially in today's feudal society, when farming represents everything.

What he didn't even expect was that Zhang Juzheng had such forward-thinking insights, and just based on the current situation in Hebei Province, he came up with a way to achieve the state-owned system of land in one step.

"Your big brother's main concubine and side concubine have married several times. Your two younger brothers are only one year younger than you. Now you haven't even settled on a marriage. Don't you know how to worry?"

Ashina came out faintly, at this time she had already put on a Han Chinese costume, showing a more gentle and noble air, but the wildness in her bones could not be hidden no matter what.

"Just a few days after you came back, you have the consciousness of being a sister-in-law?"

Li Wenhao made a joke, and pulled Ashinayun into his arms.

Ashinayun didn't have any objections, so he let Li Wenhao hug him like this. This is also related to the customs of the Turks. You must know that the Turks have a very fucking custom, that is, as long as a man can snatch a woman into his tent, And fell asleep, then this woman will follow this man unconditionally.

Legend has it that Dioruozhi wanted to use this method to snatch Ashinayun by force, but he was almost eunuched by Tuli.

"So what? Since I've followed you, I'm naturally yours"

"I just don't know if the harem of your Highness the Crown Prince can accommodate me in the future!"

Ashina said resentfully, a person like Li Wenhao is destined to have only so few women in his life, and if nothing unexpected happens, the surrounding countries are probably trying to send the princess here.

Before that, she had heard that Li Wenhao asked those small countries to send their princesses over by themselves at the Ten Thousand Nations Conference.
