The current territory of the Tang Dynasty starts from the Donghu, north of Yan State in the east, and connects with Yueqiang to the west.

It takes one month to ride a horse from the north to the south to half a month to the ancient Qin Great Wall in the north, and it takes half a month to ride day and night. The entire area is already as big as the entire Central Plains princes.

The increase in the land area needs to be digested and turned them into their real land. So Zhao Xing and the cabinet planned a long talk day and night, and finally decided to establish the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty into four prefectures, ten counties, the grassland Loufan and Linhu, and were divided into three prefectures, six counties, Hetao and the original Hexi division of one prefecture, called Hetao Prefecture, and have four counties under their jurisdiction. They are Hedong and Hexi, and Henan and Hebei. The image is easy to remember.

The reason why the grassland is divided into so fragmented is actually not the only way to prevent grasslands.

Then the boundaries of each county began to be divided, and as a result, there were 100 counties across the country.

Officials at all levels are all dispatched by the central government according to their ranks. It is strictly stipulated that the prefectures, county magistrates and county magistrates in various places must serve in different places, and they can only serve ten years in one place and must not be re-elected. This is to prevent officials at all levels from taking root in one place and not losing their final position. The ten-year term is enough to allow officials to implement their governance concepts and policies well.

All these have been planned, but a huge problem arose.

The Ministry of Revenue, which manages the population, flew to the cabinet and Zhao Xing worriedly, and said, "Our territory has expanded by nearly 1/3, (this includes the entire grassland). However, our population has not increased. In this way, over our Tang Dynasty, there has been a serious land of vast land and sparse population, and it is normal to have uninhabited thousands of miles. A county has less than 10,000 people, which is unreasonable."

Yin Qi nodded and said with concern: "And there is an extremely huge hidden danger here, that is, our current population structure. Grazing accounts for more than half, and the population of farming and factory workshops is too small."

When he said this, he deliberately looked at Loudi, for fear that he would have any thoughts in his heart.

Loudi is a broad-minded person, and he didn't even think about it elsewhere.

But he didn't think elsewhere? But Zhao Xing understood the profound meaning of Master Yin Qi.

The population structure of a country determines the nature of a country. For example, now, since the population structure of the Tang Dynasty focuses on nomadic peoples? So in a strict sense, the Tang Dynasty is a nomadic country, not a farming country in the Central Plains. The instability of the tough nomadic peoples also brings huge hidden dangers to the stability of the future country? Although in theory, Lou Fanren, the main ethnic group of the Tang Dynasty, is already Zhao Xing's nephew. But the nephew, after all, is still nephew, so where is his descendants close?

Expanding the population of the people of Central Plains blood has become an urgent task.

But is the population growing slowly? I’m anxious and can’t come.

Zhao Xing said to his ministers: "Now we are seriously vast and sparsely populated? This plump Hetao Plain has no agricultural ethnic development. This is actually a serious waste, and it cannot enhance our national strength. So now I emphasize our policy again, give birth to more children and raise more pigs? In order to achieve our goals, I will announce a new policy now? As long as the sun sets, all rural and towns in our Tang Dynasty country must be implemented. There is no urgent matter? Go out to the streets casually? Those who do not sleep well at home and hold their wives? All will be convicted." Then he pondered: "Now a new order is issued, that is, to increase the price of lamp oil, so that the people cannot afford to light lamps."

Looking at the ministers who looked stunned, Zhao Xing smiled and said with a wicked smile: "What can the people do if they can't light the light? Of course, they just sleep with their wife with peace of mind, but the long night is long and they seem bored after sleeping enough, so they can only do that thing. Do you need to light the light to do that?"

So everyone burst into laughter.

"In order to increase the population quickly, I have now ordered that anyone who is over 15 years old and cannot marry a wife will be allocated by the state. This is a limited performance assessment. In other words, our county magistrate must shoulder the heavy responsibility of matchmakers and turn the county yamen into a marriage agency, and tell those officials that as long as there is a 15-year-old person who has not married a wife in his jurisdiction, he will be fined one year's salary."

Zhao Xing did this to resolutely explore the fine traditions that the Han people could live, and he used all means to do everything possible.

"There is also the real implementation of the polygamy system. The nobles here must have three wives and four concubines, seven people, ordinary people, and strong men must have one wives and one concubine." Then they slapped the table with a righteous look: "Everything starts with me, my harem needs-"

"You dare." A decisive voice came from behind the screen.

Zhao Xing shrank his neck and defended guiltily: "Don't I want to contribute to this country?"

"You still dare to argue, bah."

Zhao Xing immediately corrected his thoughts, realized his mistake, and said seriously: "Since I have to put all my energy into spending time on this country, I will not follow this order."

A sentence came from behind the screen: "Come to my room tonight, let's talk about national affairs."

Zhao Xing grinned and immediately received praise from the ministers who were afraid of his wife without any scruples.

Zhou Tong held back his smile: "Even if the widow sets an example and makes great contributions to the country, it will take at least 15 years to grow up and grow up, so we still have to dig out the population in other vassal states. This is the quick solution to the problem."

Zhao Xing dragged his cheek and grabbed Yahuazi: "All the vassal states know the importance of population. Who will we dig for?"

Zhou Tong immediately proposed: "In the current land of Bashu, the original people of Bashu were unable to withstand the tyrannical Qin's rule and rebel, and the Qin State's suppression of them was even more cruel. In order to show our benevolence, we should send envoys to secretly contact the rebels of Bashu people, rescue them from the tyrannical Qin, and then place them on our territory."

Zhao Xing slapped the table: "Yes, our Tang Dynasty is to be the savior of the oppressed people in the world, to be the defenders of human rights. If you don't understand human rights, people have the right to oppress the tyrants."

Everyone was surprised.

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "But we are just other defenders of human rights in China. As for our Tang Dynasty, human rights must be despised and trampled on."

Everyone was relieved, double standards, this one can be found.

Just when Zhao Xing was short of population and developed his own territory, the British envoy arrived and he asked for help from the landlord Zhao Xing.

When Zhao Xing heard this report, he smiled bitterly: "What? It's time, someone will call me the local owner? The landlord has no surplus food. I only have money, no food."
