Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: The Demarcation of the Two Rivers

Li Yuan’s purpose is very simple.

It was the later generations of one country and two governance. You and I ruled the rivers. Money and grain could be summoned in the south, but they could not manage the politics of the south. The south also had to retain a certain number of troops.

We are still collectively called a court, but there are differences between the Northern Tang and the Southern Tang.

As for the inheritance of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan didn't care. None of the descendants belonged to him anyway.

The corresponding price of immortality is that it is difficult for children.

"The father's intention..." Li Shimin hesitated.

The political and economic centers in the early Tang Dynasty were concentrated in the north, and the south was not as good as the north. Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and conquered the south within a few years after unifying the north. Since ancient times, no south has been able to destroy the north.

Liu Jinu was still not at all.

If he had prepared for war, he would have pacified the south within ten years.

But there are so many things I have done in the past ten years.

Moreover, if you use your son to attack your father, you will be more passive in nature. Of course, the most important thing is that the entire Tang Dynasty is already a little unstable now.

His orthodoxy is suffering from doubt.

This is an imminent matter.

"The father's will... my son will naturally abide by it, and the world must be mine, not others." Li Shimin pursed his lips.

He waved his sleeves and decided to leave. It would be useless to stay now.

In just a few months, the entire Tang Dynasty fell apart, and he never expected it.

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head.

He still hoped that Zhenguan was the Tang Dynasty that was worshipped by all nations, rather than the weak court.

Everything depends on people.

The south still has great potential to be developed. Jiangnan and Huguang are both granaries, and Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula, is a world-famous granary. It is really ashamed to go on a journey in the world without getting this treasure land.

You are responsible for the barbarians in the north, and he will deal with the barbarians in the south.

After the two sides met, Li Yuan immediately issued an order to re-appoint the King of Qin as emperor, and the two of them ruled the river.

The one in the north is called the Northern Tang, and the one in the south is called the Southern Tang. Of course, it is just a private name, and the official side is still a unified Tang.

Li Shimin also issued the same imperial edict and issued an order to pardon the crimes of Li Daozong and other Li Tang royal families. Anyone who has not rebelled will not be punished.

Prince Li Xiaogong of Hejian was relieved when he heard the news. He had no great ambition to be emperor, but just wanted to save his family of five.

After returning to Yangzhou, according to the customs of the Southern Dynasties, Jinling was naturally the capital, but the imperial palace in Jinling had long been dilapidated, so the palace was repaired first.

In order to prevent Li Xiaogong from becoming the only one, Li Yuan had to move to Jinling first, privately recruit troops with the treasures of the White Lotus Sect, and form the twelve guards according to the specifications of Chang'an.

It makes sense to form a private army.

Soon Li Yuan discovered that Li Xiaogong was really a national minister, and had no idea of ​​replacing it, and had no idea of ​​being involved in the 30,000 new troops he formed.

It was not difficult to recruit 30,000 troops. The key was the officers of the army. Li Yuan issued an imperial edict to let the scholars from the medical school come.

But some scholars from medical schools are willing to come, while others are unwilling to come.

There was no way, and the medical school began to be divided into two branches in the north and south.

While Li Yuan integrated his students into the new army, he began to develop new agricultural tools.

Reclaiming land in the south is an important measure to improve the southern economy.

Unlike the north, the land in the south is fertile, two to three a year. As long as you work a little harder, you can have no worries about food and clothing. However, the land in the north is gradually becoming barren, and new farming methods are constantly being developed.

The agricultural tools in the south and the north are quite different.

Li Yuan sent 300 people to Chang'an to find local farmers to learn from the scriptures, and then began to make them according to the style of the curved plow in memory.

Many people have a misunderstanding that although Quyuan Plough was from the Tang Dynasty, it was roughly formed in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and it was in the north and south until the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

But the curved plow alone is far from enough.

There are many sparsely populated areas in the south, and there is a large area of ​​uncultivated farmland.

There was a saying in the Song Dynasty: Suzhou is familiar, and the world is full.

There was also a saying in the Ming Dynasty: Huguang is familiar with it, and the world is full.

Although it is an exaggeration, it is enough to prove how fertile the soil and how surplus grain output are in these two places. However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were still forests and miasma.

Refining land and afforestation!

Li Yuan immediately issued an imperial edict, if he planted the deserted fields in Huguang for more than three years, then the five percent of the deserted fields belongs to you, the remaining 50 percent belongs to the court, and he enjoys three years of tax exemption, and the remaining public land is lent to the reclamator by renting.

In short, it means how much land you can cultivate. After three years of planting, half will belong to you. The remaining half will be rented to you by the imperial court, and you will also enjoy tax exemption in these three years.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the equal land system was established based on the equal land system. The equal land system was a system of allocating land according to population implemented from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. In the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in view of the long-term wars in northern China, people were displaced, household registrations moved, and a large number of land was deserted, and the national tax revenue was seriously affected. In order to ensure the source of national taxation, the Northern Wei government distributed the land it controlled to farmers, and the farmers paid rent and tax to the government and undertake certain corvee and military service.

The tax system implemented in the Tang Dynasty was mainly based on the tax system of grain, cloth or government service. It is a tax system based on the equal-land system. The content of the rent system is: each resident should pay two stones of grain to the state every year, called rent; pay two zhang silk, three thighs of cotton, two thighs, and three kilograms of marijuana, called adjustment; 20 days of labor service, plus two days in a leap year, is the main service. If the country does not need its service, each resident can pay three feet of silk or three feet, seven inches and five cents of cloth every day, and pay 20 days to replace the service. This is called mediocre. Generally speaking, "sending silk is mediocre" is also called "losing mediocre".

Although the equal-field system is good, the fields are still limited. Every farmer has his own wisdom and wants the local owner.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty court still has credibility.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the people in the south immediately began to boil. Almost everyone took their families to Huguang, and then burned wilderness and afforestation and reclaimed fields.

Although the burning wasteland destroyed the environment, it was basically in an undeveloped area in ancient times. Is it important to eat or the environment important?

But Li Yuan still felt that he was almost there. He understood the reason after thinking about it a little. The ancient household registration policy decided that you could not run around, so he once again issued an order for people from all over the country to apply to the local government to go to Huguang to reclaim the fields.

He even wanted to make a fool of himself and proposed the move that he would never add to the tuition.

But if you think about it, you will have to forget about the tax. Only the shameless Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, could raise the tax. It is indeed not worth the tax, but there are a lot of taxes.

Li Tang still needs some shame, so this policy is abolished.

But Li Yuan was also worried about an ancient food weapon, that is, Chameng Rice.

In addition to Chameng rice, Li Yuan immediately asked the Medical College to set up a college of agriculture to study hybrid rice.
