The heroes of the Tang Dynasty did not split the soil, and no matter how big the function was, it was at most a true feudal eup. can be mixed with a real nobleman, that is already the top.
The difference is only the number of actual seals.
Datang stipulates that the closure of households is more than three dings, and the limit is seven dings.
The feudal households occupied by the nobles are generally wealthy families from all over the world, with high wealth.
According to some information that Li Chao knew, Taizong alone had 111 households of actual feudal nobles, accounting for a total of 71,000 households, and an average of about 700 households of actual feudal nobles.
With so many closed households, if it is counted as four dings per household, it is equivalent to 284,000 ta.
At the time of Zhenguan, there were 3 million households in the country, a family of five, or 15 million.
Of this 15 million population, only 15.5 percent of the population is usually employed.
In total, there are 3 million households and 15 million people in the country, but only 2,325,000 people actually pay taxes.
In this way, the actual feudal aristocracy is a little scary, accounting for less than one-half of the total number of households in the country, but accounting for 12 percent of the country's class members.
On average, there are 2,559 students per family.
Li Shimin is not very good at mathematics, and he has been doing math in the study for a long time today, and he has a big jump when he calculates the results.
If he wants to seal the heroes of the Xuanwu Sect, he has to seal forty or fifty true seals, and he has to comfort his father's people, and he has to appease his brother's people.
Then he will have more than 100 households of real nobles, and even if these people only take four dings per household, they can account for nearly 300,000 taels.
Datang has both registered and non-compiled households, and there are class households and non-class households.
The household is a good citizen, and the household is the Dingkou who pays taxes to the imperial court.
Those officials do not pay classes, the government soldiers do not pay classes, and monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and female crowns do not pay classes.
And the slaves, too, don't pay their lessons.
Anyway, after calculating it, Li Shimin found a big problem.
At the time of Yang Guang's great cause, there were nearly 9 million households in the world, with a population of nearly 50 million.
But in his hands, there were only 3 million households left, 15 million people, and the number of teachers was even smaller, only about 2.3 million teachers.
The dignified Tang Empire could only collect more than 2.3 million rent taxes.
The tax is the same for each ding, and the rent is two stones for each ding; The tune is produced with the local area, and the silk or silk, silk two zhang, and cotton three taels are paid every year, and where silk cotton is not produced, then Nabu is two zhang and five feet, and the hemp is three catties; Twenty days of free labor a year are also required.
One ding, two stones, two million and three hundred thousand dings, and the amount of grain paid in corn is less than five million stones a year.
Li Shimin did not believe that so many people had been killed in the war.
In fact, the Sui Dynasty began to be in chaos in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and it only added up to about ten years of chaos, and until now, it has not been more than 20 years, where can more than 30 million people die at once.
Li Shimin knows very well why the population is so small.
The main thing is that there are too many hidden people.
During the war, a large number of people left their homes, and many of them were eventually accepted by the wealthy families and became their tenants.
These people are not registered at all, and therefore they are not registered in the natural register.
They planted the fields of those wealthy families and paid rent to the wealthy families, which had nothing to do with the imperial court.
In addition to those local wealthy families, many temples and Taoist 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, in the war, a large number of people became slaves, and the result is that the population of Datang is only 3 million now.
There were only about 2.3 million teachers.
If there is really a big feudal hero this time, Li Shimin will have to give nearly 300,000 lessons to the vassals. 300,000 lessons were given to the vassals, and the court could also get one-third of the tax from it, which was equivalent to the actual 200,000.
But 200,000 is still a big number, after all, the court only has a total of 2.3 million classes.
Of the 15 million people, there are only 2.3 million teachers, which is equivalent to six and a half people, and there is only one teacher.
Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was planning to destroy the Buddha before, and was ready to issue an edict stipulating that only one temple and Taoist temple was allowed to be retained in each state, and the rest should be banned, and the number of people in each temple should be strictly limited, and all the excess should be ordered to be returned to the laity.
Li Shimin has now taken over the government, but he can no longer implement this policy, because he is not in the right position, and if he destroys the Buddha, there will definitely be waves again, and maybe many people will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
He couldn't take the risk.
It can't be crowned a hero, he knows that those heroes are waiting.
Li Shimin had no choice but to seal six first, which was considered to appease everyone for the time being.
Now that the six people of the first merit have been sealed, they are definitely not far away.
Moreover, Li Shimin slapped his swollen face and pretended to be fat, and as soon as he came, all six of them were sealed with 1,300 households.
This is an upper limit, six first-class plus one thousand three real seals, and the rest of the people can only be below this number.

But no matter how down, this is divided into several grades, there must be more than one thousand, seven or eight hundred, three or five hundred grades, and it is impossible to close two or three hundred households. gave the real seal, and these nobles had to give the title Yongye Tian, and the amount was a large amount.
For this reason, Li Shimin was sad to death.
Now when I hear Li Chao say this, I also think this is also a way.
Replace the actual seal with Yongye Field, and divide the land on the frontier, and the frontier land is not valuable, so draw more.
If each feudal household is counted as five dings, one ding is given ten acres of land, and a meritorious hero of 300 households can get 15,000 acres of land, and a prince's Yongye field is only 10,000 acres.
However, the wasteland of the frontier is not distressed.
If according to the list of heroes he drew up in his heart, more than 100 households would be sealed in the end, and there would be more than 70,000 households.
A household of five dings is calculated as 350,000 dings, and one ding is converted into ten acres of land, which is 3.5 million mu of land.
Guanzhong, the Central Plains and other places want to take out 3.5 million mu of land, which is unrealistic, and he is reluctant to come up with 300,000 and 500,000 lessons.
If 3.5 million acres of wasteland are measured in the corners of the Tang Dynasty, and the wasteland can be reclaimed for cultivation, there is no problem.
More than 300,000 dings, and the rent paid in a year is 6,700,000 stone grain, as well as a lot of silk and linen, not to mention 300,000 dings and 20 days of free labor.
Li Shimin is not very good at mathematics, but this account is still clear.
"San Lang, do you think that the meritorious heroes are really sealed, and each household is calculated at five dings, and each ding is given ten acres of frontier land?"
This is equivalent to one household being sealed for 50 acres of Yongye land, and Li Chao's 1,800 households are sealed and can get 90,000 acres of land.
Compared with the rent collection that sits on its back, it is more troublesome to take the land directly, and you have to find a way to cultivate it yourself, and the land is still in the frontier, which is not as rich and safe as the Central Plains.
But 90,000 acres, even for Li Chao, is very tempting.
The bath ditch he bought bought was two pieces before and after, and even together, it was only 20,000 acres.
It's still a wasteland, and it's more expensive to reclaim and use.
According to the title, another title will be granted Yongye Tian, 100 hectares for the prince, 50 hectares for the county king, 40 hectares for the national duke, 35 hectares for the county duke, 25 hectares for the county duke, 8 hectares for the county son, and 5 hectares for the county male.
Li Chao suggested that these titles should also be fully granted, and they should also be granted in the frontier and given wasteland.
In this way, with the title and the actual seal, the land that each hero can get is considerable.
For example, Li Chao, Zhao Guogong, the title of Yongye Field is 4,000 mu, and if you add his actual Yongye Field, it is 94,000 mu.
"In order to satisfy everyone, you might as well double the number of Yongye Fields according to the title, or even three or four times the amount, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, there are a lot of frontier wastelands.
A prince gives 8,000 or even 12,000 or 16,000 acres of land, and let them reclaim it by themselves, plus the actual sealed food fields, it is quite considerable, and I believe everyone can still accept it. ” Li Shimin thought for a while, "The title of Yongye Field will be doubled, and the actual seal will be calculated according to five dings per household, and ten acres per ding." ” Li Chao is equivalent to owning 8,000 acres of Yongye Field, 90,000 acres of Yongye Field, and together he can get 98,000 acres of land.
"How to give this land" "You can first send people to measure the wasteland that can be granted in the frontiers of various places, and then let the meritorious heroes draw lots for a thousand acres, and sign in wherever they are, which is more fair."
Li Shimin took a sip of wine and smacked his mouth, "San Lang, can you accept this way?"
"Your Majesty will reward the heroes with some money and slaves, well, and give you another iron coupon, I guess everyone can still accept it."
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and took the initiative to add, "The titles of these heroes can not be inherited from a lower level."
Normally, most of the titles in the Tang Dynasty were fictitious, and there were few real titles.
And regardless of whether it is a false seal or a real seal, most of the titles are demoted, and even some false seals are directly lifelong.
Only those who have higher merits will have their titles specially blessed and can be passed on to their sons without being demoted.
Now Li Shimin plans to give these heroes this kind of non-degrading treatment, which is indeed quite tempting.
In this way, Li Chao is the Duke of Zhao Guo, and his son will be able to be the Duke of Zhao in the future, and his grandson may still have to be demoted to the rank of lord, and then he can only be a county duke, and his great-grandson can only be a county duke, but at least he can be passed on for one more generation.
"San Lang, what you just said is a way to reduce expenditure, do you have a way to open up the source and increase some financial resources?"
"Naturally, there are methods, such as setting up a city department in the border area, responsible for foreign trade, and collecting customs duties, just like I did in Taozhou, if the volume of trade is large, the taxes collected are also very considerable."
Li Shimin nodded, his eyes bright.
"And what else?"
"There is also the fact that the imperial court can mint coins, not only copper coins, but also gold and silver coins, copper coins do not have to be so high in copper, reduce the copper content, then the profit of coinage can be greatly increased."
"It's not going to work."
In the past, many dynasties have used this method, what is five when ten money, what iron money, is the court directly plundered the wealth of the people, and in the end it will definitely not last long.
"Your Majesty, it is not that simple way, but a new coinage method, which is minted and difficult to counterfeit, with an elite appearance, high anti-counterfeiting means, and high counterfeiting costs.
Therefore, it is not the same as when five is ten dollars. ” "I'll think about this again, do you have any other way?"
"If Your Majesty wants the fastest way to achieve results, of course, there are also them, such as salt, tea, wine, and mines, and a general tax or a direct monopoly.
For example, I have a population of 3 million households in Datang, and if a household uses 10 catties of salt a year, the price of salt is now comparable to the price of rice.

At least 30 million catties of salt are needed a year, which is actually less, and under normal circumstances, the demand must be greater.
Even if it is 30 million catties a year, a catty of salt is now about ten yuan, and one catty plus one penny tax is 30,000 yuan."
In fact, the Tang Dynasty later introduced a salt tax, and the salt tax was more than 3 million yuan a year.
However, the salt tax at that time was not a pound and a penny, but an additional price of 100 wen per bucket, and a bucket of 100 wen was a salt tax.
The tax rate is equivalent to ten times what Li Chao now said. t1706231537:
