Baekje has already handed over to Changsun Wuji, while Lin Yi has handed over to Li Shimin."

In the Tai'an Palace, the emperor said to the prime ministers who accompanied him. These two were the emperor's brother-in-law, and their abilities were beyond doubt, but Li Shimin's loyalty made the prime ministers a little suspicious.

"Although Baekje and Linyi are far away from the capital, they are connected along the coast, so the transportation is actually more convenient than Anxi, Yunnan and other places. In addition, the climate of these two places is good, the soil is fertile, and the plains are numerous, suitable for farming. It is an excellent grain-producing area, so for Daqin, these two places cannot be given up."

In the traditional Central Plains, the arable land area is actually only about 800 million mu, so the number of people that can be raised is actually limited. The population of Daqin has exploded. It is necessary to develop grain production land outward. In recent years, the imperial court has indeed developed many excellent grain production land, such as the Hetao area, Liaoning outside the pass, Ryukyu, Sanguang, Lingnan, and the newly launched Jinghu transformation.

But there are still many places where the Qin Dynasty is insufficient for arable land, such as Shuofang Road, Bahan, Qianzhong, Guangxi, Anxi Beiting, Qinghai, Xishan, etc. These places may not be sufficient for self-sufficiency, so they can only develop other economies, and the grain area has to rely more on other grain-producing areas of the court.

An excellent plain grain-producing area is extremely important to Daqin.

"Anxi Hexi is suitable for growing cotton, Longyou Shuofang is suitable for growing beans and rapeseed, and Hetao Dingxiang is suitable for livestock. But what about Jiangnan? It is necessary to grow grain and tea and mulberry silk, so the new grain production land is highly valued."

Everyone agrees with the emperor's words.

Wei Zhengdao, "My Daqin started his business mainly because of the plains outside the pass. If there is no military farming, food and grass outside the pass, it will not be able to supply the army or raise soldiers. With the help of cattle, sheep, and horses in Xiqi, our Daqin Iron Army can only lead the troops to enter the pass, and win many times. The Korean Peninsula and Linyi Peninsula have a suitable climate for farming and there are many grain fields on the plains, which is indeed very important." In this regard, it is completely incomparable to the north of the Great Wall, the Western Regions to the west, and the Xishan Mountain in Qinghai.

There are still some places in the south of the Moon that can barely be cultivated, but in the north of the Moon, it is completely impossible to farm and produce grain, so it can only develop animal husbandry and breeding. The Hetao area is a good Jiangnan area, but the Shuofang Road counties to the south are also barren land. There are also Longyou, Qinghai, and Xishan, which are all remote and barren land areas.

Although the war horses, cattle and sheep, fur, and cotton in the north of the Frontier were also very important to the court, food involved national security, which was undoubtedly the most important thing to guarantee.

"Is Li Shimin worthy of trusting? I think he is a little unruly." Wei Zheng said bluntly.

"This kid is indeed a bit stubborn, but he is good at abilities. Now Lin Yi needs to develop and just needs such people who can fight."

Secretary-General Wang Gui raised a question.

"The imperial court has opened up the border every year, and has made great achievements in martial arts. Over the years, it has been constantly moving people out of the border. Now, Linyi and Andong have established two new roads, plus Beiting and Tochar, the Western Regions, must be immigrated, so there are not so many people to move."

"Looking out a solution, all regions must find a way. In principle, it is to migrate people to a small land and a large number of people. Recently, I have often thought about the method of equalizing land, and I feel that the one-day land granted a hundred acres has basically not been truly realized from Wei to the present. Therefore, I plan to reform the equal land method and change the equal land of a population of 100 acres to a land granted by households."

"Give households and fields?"

“But how many or fewer are there per household registration?”

Several prime ministers raised doubts together.

"According to the household registration policy previously formulated by the court, all the great achievements are required to separate households. Therefore, generally speaking, one household can be divided by up to three generations, and even the sons will be separated after adulthood. The family often has five or six people, and the fewer are three or four people with more than eight or nine people."

Luo Cheng analyzed to everyone that according to this household registration law, there were actually fewer cases of large families living together in the past. The court required the separation of households in order to better manage and control the registered population.

Therefore, today's family household registration is almost the same as later generations, and it is a small family model.

A small family like this is often monogamous and has a few children, and some of them will live with their elderly parents if they are young.

"The average land per household is up to 100 acres, and the lowest is no less than ten acres of land per household."

If you give land as a family, the maximum number of eight or nine people can be divided into 100 acres, and if you have three or four people, you can also be divided into 100 acres.

"Of course, in specific circumstances, it must be determined by the number of land in each village. If there are many people in the village and few land, the actual number will be divided equally according to the actual number. If there are many fields in the village and enough to be given, there will be excess fields, and then it will be kept as official fields and rented for people to plant."

Under this new equal-field system, each household retains twenty acres of Yongye land, which is that these twenty acres can be passed on to descendants or bought and sold to the people of the village. The rest of the land is divided into veins, and this land is not private.

"The field can be adjusted once every thirty years."

For example, if someone dies or someone is born, you can adjust it appropriately based on the latest household registration situation four years later.

"I plan to ask all localities to conduct a survey. For example, if a village does not reach ten acres per capita land, then some of the poor will be moved out and moved to Baekje Linyi and other places. When you arrive in the border area, you can give them a household of 100 acres, and even give ten acres of Yongye land to each new immigrant."

If a village has 3,000 acres of land but 100 households and 700 people, then this village will not be able to divide land for each household by 100 acres, let alone one hundred acres.

Therefore, according to the emperor's new equalization of land and households, only one hundred households can divide the land in total, and a household can divide the land at most 30 acres.

The number of land acres is seriously insufficient, so for such villages with few land and many people, people must be mobilized to immigrate.

If seventy households are moved away and only thirty households are left, then each of the remaining thirty households can be divided into 100 acres of land, which can reach the upper limit of land grants. No matter whether there are eight or nine people in a household, or three or four people, life will undoubtedly be better in the future.

It is definitely not easy for the people who have moved out, so the court should give them certain compensation. For example, if the relocation is the first choice for poor families, the loss will be smaller, and the family with more brothers will be given priority. If one or two are moved away, there will be a brother in the village to keep the ancestral grave.

The court was also responsible for the travel expenses of the relocation, and even prepared land for them to go to their new residence, and provided them with seeds, farm tools, plowing oxen and other rentals to help them overcome the initial difficulties.
