The heroes of the Tang Dynasty did not have any severance of the earth and sealed the throne. No matter how great the function was, they would at most be a real fief. If you can get a real noble, you would have reached the peak. The difference is just the number of real seals.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that the enfeoffment households were more than three or seven. The enfeoffment households occupied by the actual enfeoffment nobles were generally rich households from all over the country, with high capital and high capital.

According to some information that Li Chao knew, there were 111 households of real nobles in Taizong alone, accounting for 71,000 households, and an average of about 700 households were occupied by one real noble family.

If so many sealed households are counted as four cents per household, it will be 284,000.

During Zhenguan, there were three million households in the country, a family of five, totaling 15 million. Among these 15 million people, the number of students generally only accounts for 15.5% of the number of people.

In total, there are only 2.325 million households and 1.5 million people in the country.

By doing this, the real nobles are a bit scary. The real nobles, which account for less than one-two thousand of the total households in the country, account for twelve percent of the national class.

On average, each school accounts for 2,559 people.

Li Shimin was not very good at math. He calculated it for a long time in the study today, and the result he calculated was a big blow. If he wanted to enthrone the heroes of Xuanwu Sect, he would have to enthrone forty or fifty true seals, and he would have to comfort his father's people and his brothers. After that, he would have to enthrone the ones that his father had actually enthroned, especially this big part of the royal family.

Then he would have more than 100 families with real nobles. Even if these people only need four cents per household, they could account for nearly 300,000 cents.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were households and non-organized households, and households without schooling.

A household registration is a good citizen, and a household registration is a Dingkou who pays taxes to the court. Those officials do not accept the lectures, the soldiers in the government do not accept the lectures, and monks, Taoists, nuns, and women do not accept the lectures.

And those slaves also don’t accept classes.

Anyway, after all the calculations, Li Shimin discovered a big problem.

When Yang Guang was in great cause, there were nearly nine million households in the world and nearly fifty million people. But in his hands, there were only three million households and 15 million people, and the number of students was even smaller. There were only two to three million students.

The great Tang Empire could only collect 2.3 million rent taxes.

The tax for each class is the same, and each ding is rented for two stones of millet; the mixing will be carried out according to the local area, and every year you pay two zhang silk (or silk, trunk) and three thighs. Where no silk cotton is produced, the cloth will be two zhang and five feet and three kilograms of hemp will be born. Twenty days of free labor will be done a year.

One minced grain is taken with two stones, and two thousand minced grain is paid, and the grain paid is less than five million stones a year.

Li Shimin didn't believe that so many people had been killed in war.

In fact, the Sui Dynasty started to be in chaos since the seventh year of Daye, and it only lasted for about ten years. Until now, it has not been more than twenty years. How could more than 30 million people die in one go?

Li Shimin knew very well why the population was so small.

The main reason is that there are too many hidden houses.

During the war, a large number of people left their hometowns, and many of them were eventually taken over by wealthy families and became their tenants. These people were not registered at all, so naturally there were no such people on their household registration.

They planted the fields of the rich and rented them to the rich and had nothing to do with the imperial court.

In addition to those local tyrants, many temples and temples in the world also took advantage of the war to occupy a large amount of land and accommodate a large number of people.

In addition, during the war, a large number of people became slaves, and the result was that the Tang Dynasty now had a population of only three million.

The class only has about 2.3 million.

If a great hero is really given this time, Li Shimin would have to give nearly 300,000 yuan of lectures to his vassals.

The 300,000 yuan vassals were given to the vassals, and the court could still get one-third of the rent and tax, which was equivalent to the actual amount of 200,000 yuan.

But 200,000 is still a big number, after all, the imperial court only has 2.3 million lessons in total.

With a population of 15 million, there are only 2.3 million students, which is equivalent to six and a half people, so there is only one student.

Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was planning to destroy Buddhism before and was preparing to issue an edict to stipulate that each state would only allow one temple and Taoist temple to be retained, and the rest should be banned, and the number of people in each temple should be strictly limited, and the excess should be ordered to return to secular life.

Li Shimin has taken over the government now, but he can no longer implement this policy because he has been incorrectly in his position. If he destroys Buddhism, there will definitely be trouble again. Maybe many people will take the opportunity to make trouble by then.

He couldn't take this risk.

It is not enough not to be named a hero. He knew that those heroes were waiting.

Li Shimin had no choice but to seal six first, which is to comfort everyone for the time being. Since all the six masters of the first achievements were sealed, they must be not far away.

Moreover, Li Shimin pretended to be fat when he was swollen, and as soon as he came, all six people had more than 1,300 households. This is the upper limit. If the six-digit first-class plus 1,300 real-time seals, the others could only be under this number.

But no matter how far you go, there must be one thousand, seven hundred, eight hundred, three or five hundred, and it is impossible to have two or three hundred households.

After giving the Shixian, these nobles had to give their titles Yongyetian, which was a huge amount.

Li Shimin was so worried about this.

Now that Li Chao said this, I think this is also a solution.

If you replace the real seal with Yongyetian, you will draw land on the border. If the border land is not valuable, you will draw more.

If each enfeoffer is calculated as five cents, one cent is given to ten acres of land, and a three hundred cents of real enfeoffer can obtain 15,000 acres of land, and a prince's Yongye land is only 10,000 acres.

However, the wastelands on the border are not distressed.

If he plans to enfeoff the list of the heroes he has planned, he will eventually enfeoff more than 100 households, and the enfeoffment households are about 70,000 households. Calculate for one household, it means 350,000 yuan, one cent will be worth ten acres of land, and 3.5 million acres of land.

Guanzhong, Zhongyuan and other places had to take out 3.5 million acres of land, which was unrealistic. He couldn't bear to take out 300,000 five-course Ding. If he was to count 3.5 million acres of wasteland on the edges and corners of the Tang Dynasty, he could reclaim the cultivated wasteland for the heroes, there would be no problem.

More than 300,000 yuan of 100,000 yuan of rent paid in a year is only 600,000 yuan of grain, and a lot of silk threads, not to mention 300,000 yuan of free labor for twenty days.

Li Shimin is not very good at math, but he still can figure it out clearly.

"Sanlang, do you think the meritorious officials are actually granted, and each household is calculated based on five cents, and each cent is given ten acres of land in the border area?"

This is equivalent to a real seal for fifty acres of Yongye land, and Li Chao 1,800 real seals for ten thousand acres of land. Compared to the rent that can be collected by the person who enjoys his life, it is more troublesome to acquire land directly. You have to find a way to cultivate and cultivate yourself. The land is still on the frontier, which is not as rich and safe as the Central Plains.

But 90,000 acres, even for Li Chao, is very attractive.

He bought two bath ditches in front and after, and together, they only cost 20,000 acres. It was still a wasteland ditch, and the cost of reclaiming and utilization was even higher.

According to the title, another title was granted Yongyetian, with a hundred hectares of princes, fifty hectares of county kings, forty hectares of state dukes, thirty-five hectares of county dukes, twenty-five hectares of county dukes, eight hectares of county dukes, and five hectares of county dukes.

Li Chao suggested that all of these titles, Yongyetian, were awarded enough, and were also awarded to the border and were given wasteland.

In this way, the title and real title will be quite impressive.

For example, Li Chao and Duke of Zhao, the title of Yongyetian is 4,000 acres, and if his actual title of Yongyetian is 94,000 acres.

"In order to satisfy everyone, it doesn't matter if you give it twice as much as you get according to your title, or even three times or four times. Anyway, there are a lot of wastelands on the border. A Duke gives 8,000 or even 12,000 acres of land, and let them reclaim themselves. In addition, the real fief land is quite considerable, and I believe everyone can still accept it."

Li Shimin thought for a while, "The title of Yongyetian is doubled, and the actual title is based on five cents per household, and each cent is ten acres."

Li Chao owns 8,000 acres of Yongye Land, 90,000 acres of real Yongye Land, and together they can get 98,000 acres of land.

"How to teach this place?"

"You can first send someone to measure the wasteland that can be granted on the borders of various places, and then use a thousand acres per share to let the conferred heroes draw lots, and wherever they sign, it is fairer."

Li Shimin took a sip of wine and smacked his lips, "Sanlang, can you accept this method?"

"Your Majesty will reward the meritorious officials with some money and silk, slaves, and I'll give you another iron coupon, which is probably acceptable to everyone."

Li Shimin thought about it and took the initiative to add a letter, "The titles of these heroes will be inherited without being demoted!"

Normally, most of the titles in the Tang Dynasty were empty, and few were real titles. Moreover, whether they were virtual or real titles, most of the titles were reduced to the titles, and some virtual titles were lifelong.

Only those meritorious officials with high meritorious deeds will be given special orders to their sons, and they can be passed on to their sons without surrender. Now Li Shimin plans to give these meritorious officials such treatment is indeed quite tempting.

In this way, Li Chao is Duke of Zhao, and his son will be Duke of Zhao in the future. His grandson may still have to surrender to the title of succession. At that time, he can only be a county duke, and his great-grandson can only be a county duke, but at least he can pass on it for another generation.

"Sanlang, what you just mentioned are ways to reduce expenditure. Do you have any way to increase your source and increase your financial resources?"

"There are naturally methods. For example, establishing a Maritime Bureau in the border areas is responsible for foreign trade and imposing tariffs. Just like what I did in Taozhou, if the trade volume is large, the tax collected is also considerable."

Li Shimin nodded, his eyes were very bright.

"What else?"

"There is also the court that can mint coins, not only mint copper coins, but also gold and silver coins. Copper coins do not necessarily contain as high copper content. If the copper content is reduced, the profit of minting can greatly increase."

"This method is not possible, right?"

In the past, many dynasties have used this method, such as five to ten coins, and iron coins, which are directly plundering the people's wealth, and will definitely not last long in the end.

"Your Majesty, it is not that simple method, but a new coin minting method. It is difficult to imitate and counterfeit when minting this kind of coins. It has elite appearance, high anti-counterfeiting methods, and high cost of counterfeiting. Therefore, it is different from those of the money that Dangwudang10."

"I'll think about this again. Do you have any other solutions?"

"If Your Majesty wants the fastest way to achieve results, of course there are also, such as all salt, tea, wine and mines are all taxed or sold directly. For example, my Tang Dynasty now has a population of 3 million. If a household uses ten kilograms of salt a year, the price of salt is equivalent to the price of rice. At least 30 million kilograms of salt a year, right? This is actually a matter of less. Under normal circumstances, the demand will definitely be greater. Even if a kilogram of salt is about 10 cents a year, and a kilogram of salt is now about 10 cents. If a kilogram of salt is plus one cent tax, it is 30,000 cents!"
