Taking the statistics account book, Li Chao went to Yuliangzhou.

After this period of construction on Yuliangzhou, the palace city has been initially completed. The palace walls, palace gates and moats outside have been built, and the Han River is surrounded by live water.

The various yamen moved from Chang'an also entered the built yamen city one after another. The Censorate of the Three Provinces, Six Ministry, Five Supervisors, Nine Temples, Twelve Guards, Hanlin Academy, etc., all began to work here. The palace city and Yacheng were relatively independent besieged cities. Outside the two cities, there were military cities surrounded by the South Ya Imperial Guards, and to the north was the North Ya Imperial Guards, and to the north were the North Ya Imperial Guards. And the outer side was the Mincheng and the Mall.

Although they all look quite simple, they are already very lively.

The families of officials, the students from the Imperial College and the martial arts hall, and the merchants coming and going, made this sandbank, which is half the size of Chang'an City, extremely lively.

Especially because the entire sandbank is a building structure of siege groups, the size of each siege city is connected and linked, making these cities both complete and relatively independent. In the areas outside the walls between cities, it is easier and more free.

There have even been many shops that are convenient for the people, restaurants, tea shops, grocery stores, etc.

Li Chao felt very proud when walking on the street between the bustling sieges.

This is really an island city that rose from the ground. It only took a month to reach such a scale. The success of these sieges also confirmed the new building model to the emperor and officials, and proved new building materials such as cement.

If there were no droughts or locust plagues, it would have been quite easy now.

There are many shops on Yuliangzhou, but now there is no restaurant because the imperial court has banned alcohol. There are no restaurants, because most people cannot afford to eat a restaurant, and the restaurant does not charge money and food coupons, and how much does it cost, who can bear to?

There are quite a lot of food coupons among all officials, but for the sake of their reputation, it is not easy to go to restaurants often.

Even many of the pedestrians and vendors on the road had some food on their faces. After all, relief food is not omnipotent, it can satisfy hunger, but its nutrition is far inferior.

The only thing that made Li Chao more proud was that the refugee beggars who were begging with their families were not seen on the streets.

Everyone is tightening their belts to overcome the famine. Although the life of the rich is not easy now, it has also allowed more and fewer people, especially those poor, to avoid the tragic situation of starving to death due to famine.

Thinking of the more than 100 large households who had just been confiscated and exterminated, Li Chao felt a little relieved. He told himself that all this was worth it.

Now is a difficult and extraordinary period, and these are just temporary.

The wealthy households did not have much sadness in their lives, but they did not have any disasters and wealth, and they did not have to worry about food or drink, but some people were not satisfied.

Passing by a series of guard posts, Li Chao entered the palace city.

In the palace city on Yuliangzhou, Li Shimin finally no longer had to live in the East Palace. The emperor lives in Changle Palace. Li Shimin lived in Ziwei Palace. There was also a small palace next to it, which was the crown prince's East Palace.

The forefather.

In the emperor's imperial study.

Li Shimin and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Yang Rengongyu, and five scholars who were discussing the matter, and the eunuch reported that Li Chao was outside the marquis to meet.

"It seems that the matter has settled. Please come in."

Li Shimin sighed.

Li Chaoda walked into the hall.

"My dear Li Chao, I will live my emperor!"

"Have you dealt with Pingshen and Wen Yuan?"

Li Chao handed over the account book and submitted the search results. The eunuch took it and submitted it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the account book and did not open it immediately. He was in a heavy mood with the book of the memorial. "I and the prime ministers were also discussing this matter just now."

After a few words of emotion, Li Shimin still revealed it.

When he opened the note, Li Shimin was quite looking forward to it, but after really opening it, Li Shimin was disappointed.

There are a lot of gold, silver, money and silk, and there are also many fields, manors and shops. But what Li Shimin needs most now is not these. There are gold, silver and other things, and now he can’t buy food, so what he needs more is food.

But the food in the homes of powerful people in these places is only more than 100,000 stones, which is disappointing.

"Did the landlord's family have no surplus food?"

"The landlord's family still has some food, but not much." Li Chao answered truthfully.

The most troublesome thing is not just that the landlords don’t have much food, but that new situations have emerged and a large number of hidden households have appeared.

"I guess that after destruction of these powerful people, this time, it will indeed greatly shock them, but a large number of hidden households may soon return to their hometowns, and even a tide of large numbers of powerful people releasing slaves."

Li Shimin nodded.

The large number of hidden households returned to their hometowns, which naturally had to do with the powerful. The powerful had little food and did not dare to do anything randomly. Under the current policy of the court, in order to protect themselves, they would abandon these black tenants who paid rent for their land, and even the slaves they bought before might be let go.

Even if they sell slaves, some people may not be willing to spend money to buy them. After all, unlike before, the tyrants who used to have the opportunity to buy slaves, but now it is different. Because now, even if you have money, you can’t buy food, and you can’t stock up on the food. Everyone has no food in their hands. Will they come back to buy slaves and share the food with themselves?

Slaves cannot get relief grain, and they can't even buy food coupons. It can be said that slaves are the least valuable things in the disaster area now. Since it is difficult to sell, it is difficult to keep them and consume food, so just let them go.

In the long run, this is a good thing, but now it is a troublesome thing.

"If we can hold on to this wave, the registered population of the imperial court may increase by tens of millions." Li Chao said.

The prime ministers also agreed with Li Chao's figure, and the new population was added. Ten million people, and 10 million households and all the people may also mean that there are 15 to 2 million students.

If these people were enriched in Kuan Townships in various places and allocated land to them, the imperial court would increase the income of four or five million stone imperial grains a year, as well as a large amount of physical taxes such as silk cloth.

There are more soldiers, more tuition, and more taxes!

For the court, this is a great increase in strength, a great increase in national strength, and a great increase in national base.

This is a great thing.

But the trouble is how to deal with the wave in front of you.

If the new population of tens of millions may still have to rely on the imperial court to provide food relief. For tens of millions of people, tens of millions of stones of food a year, and even if it is relief food, it is difficult to obtain.

"Your Majesty, these newly naturalized people cannot stay in their original homeland. Most of them have no land and no food left. Staying there is no benefit except for consuming food, and it will only make the situation in the disaster area unstable. For these people, I still recommend moving away."

Fang Xuanling raised concerns, "But winter is coming soon. With such a large population, more than 10 million people in hundreds of states, where can I move there?"

No place can accommodate such a terrifying number of people.

On the road to migration, something may happen easily.

The more disasters come, the less we cannot gather the victims together. This is all experience.

Du Ruhui also opposed the large-scale migration at this time, and the court was unable to do this.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the words of the two of you. Now we cannot move to Longyou and Shuofang like before. The court does not have the ability, and the two places cannot accommodate so many victims."

"Then what do you mean?" Li Shimin stared at Li Chao and asked.

Li Chao has been thinking about this issue. Before he came, he thought about the government's assistance and reconstruction methods to the disaster area when a major disaster occurred in the future, and to make counterparts.

This is like this, one province vs. one county vs. one city vs. one township.

"In Henan, migrate to Hedong, Shandong, and several roads in Huainan, Hebei to Hebei, Huainan, and Jiangnan. In Guanzhong, migrate to Shuofang, Longyou, and Shannan. In Shannan, migrate to Jiangnan, migrate to West and Shannan. In Shandong, migrate to West and Shannan. Based on the principle of proximity, the corresponding migration points are drawn out."

"Be more specific." Li Shimin became interested.

"For example, these newly naturalized people from the Luoyang area of ​​Duji Province moved to the east of Shannan. Among them, Changshui County in Luoyang is opposite to Shangzhou in the east of Shannan, and Dengzhou in the east of Shannan, Luoyang Yiyang County in Luoyang."

The Changshui County government is responsible for sending new naturalized victims in the county to move, preparing food on the road, preparing some cars and horses for them, and organizing guards to go to Shangzhou, while the Shangzhou government is responsible for sending people to pick them up.

These victims were dispersed to the counties in their prefectures, and the victims in Changshui County were dispersed to counties under Shangzhou for resettlement.

The following counties are responsible for preparing houses, food, etc., and accepting these victims. The victims in a village are divided into a county, and the number is small and they will be easier to control. After all, even the victims who move to a village are not really the entire village people. They are just some of the people in the township, and those are the original black households.

With the power of a county, we can at least find some houses to resettle them and give them some food.

"In the local area, they can also use labor-for-relief methods to resettle them, and ask them to help build water conservancy and repair city walls."

A large number of newly naturalized hidden slaves will be less concentrated and less dangerous after they are separated.

"But Shannan is also a disaster-stricken area. Shannan itself also has many naturalized black households, and they also want to move south. Now they accept the victims from Henan. Why don't they directly resettle the victims from Henan to places further south, such as Shannanxi, Jiangnanxi, etc." Yu Wen asked.

"It is too far to move the victims from Henan directly to Shannan West or Jiangnan West Road. It will be more difficult to move the victims so far. There are too many uncontrollable factors. We moved the victims from Luoyang to Shandong and then to Jiangnan West. Although it seems complicated, the operation in the middle is simpler!" Li Chao explained.

"I think the method Li Chao said is feasible. Now that I think about how to transport grain to the disaster area, it is indeed better to directly withdraw people from the disaster area. It is unrealistic to resettle the victims to the border, and it is dangerous to have too concentrated disaster victims. Now, it is better to place them on site in such a scattered manner, and I agree!"

The emperor said, even if he had to shoot the board.

This plan has been passed, but we still need to discuss in detail how to operate it.
