This is a great contradiction.
In the last years of the dynasty, the serious annexation of land, coupled with other problems, led to a large number of people who were landless peasants, who had no place to stand and became homeless.
In fact, this is an excellent development condition for industry and commerce.
With the landless peasants, industry and commerce had a large number of hired workers.
Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of people in those mines at every turn, because those miners were landless and propertyless.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the surging population of various towns was also because the fields in the countryside were greatly annexed, and many landless peasants could only flock to the city to find work and food.
It's just that it's the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
The official number of registered households is only 3 million, and the population is 15 million.
More than ten years ago, when the Great Sui was in full swing, there were nearly 9 million households, almost 50 million people.
Most of the systems implemented by the Tang Dynasty are the continuation of the Sui Dynasty, the Juntian system, the government military system, and the rent and yong modulation, all of which are based on the simplest ideas.
Try to let the people of the Tang Dynasty be nailed to the land.
There is very little room left for business and commerce.
In these years, those engaged in industry and commerce are actually those wealthy families.
On the one hand, they occupy an academic advantage and engage in monopoly.
On the one hand, they have an advantage in the personnel of the imperial court, and they have a monopoly on academics, and this officialdom is also their world.
On the other hand, they were large landowners, and at the same time had enough capital to run industry and commerce, which in turn supported their political position.
Ordinary people just do a small business, if you want to be bigger, not to mention that you will be killed without a background, and most importantly, where do you come from?
Those wealthy families had hidden families who took refuge under their doors, and there were a large number of slaves, whether they were running salt ponds or digging copper and iron mines.
Although the Li family is also an emerging wealthy family, after all, the background is still too shallow.
It turned out that when I was in Bashang, I started some industry, all relying on the villagers, relying on the Li family's more favorable conditions than others, and relying on the Li family's good reputation of benevolence and generosity.
And at that time, the industry did not employ many people.
Later, it became a little bigger, and Li Chao used an apprentice again.
But now that the Li family is in Ningyuan, it is getting bigger and bigger.
In addition to operating field shops, they also began to engage in processing and manufacturing, and even mining and iron smelting, and the demand for manpower was great.
This is the contradiction between the wealthy family and the imperial court.
The wealthy family has privileges, and they must expand, occupy land, lend money, do business, etc., not only annex land, but also compete with the imperial court for population.
The imperial court also needs a population.
The imperial court opened up the territory and expanded the territory, hoping to have a larger population, so that it could immigrate to the territory and divide the land and grant land, so that the imperial court not only strengthened the border, but also increased the grain production and taxes.
After the field is divided, the number of classes can also increase.
Why did the ancient imperial court like to suppress commerce First, most of the merchants were controlled by the privileged class, and the imperial court could not collect taxes, and secondly, the economic chambers of commerce competed with the imperial court for the agricultural population.
If the peasants who were originally dependent on the land turn to industry and commerce in large numbers, this will undoubtedly reduce grain production and reduce the rent of land by the state.
After all, the farming technology of this era was backward, and the land needed to be cultivated by many people.
If there is a shortage of manpower, food production will definitely decrease, and on the other hand, if the people are all dependent on the land, then the social structure is the most stable.
Where do you get the workers?
The former giants relied on the strength accumulated over time and from generation to generation.
Their greatest opportunity to expand their strength is often a disaster year.
In the year of famine, when the land is not harvested, the people have to borrow grain and money from them, and they take the opportunity to lend, and then when the people cannot pay off their debts, they will collect the land.
He even took advantage of the disaster year to buy children and daughters, and bought the people who could not support the victims.
Even in the end, there were some disaster years when I couldn't live anymore, and after losing the fields, the whole family simply attached themselves to these powerful people.
It is because of this that their strength is getting stronger and stronger, and they have more and more land and population.
This path is not suitable for the Li family.
Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to quench the thirst of distant water.
If you want people, you can either rob them, rob the surrounding countries, grab the barbarians in the southwest, seize the population from there, fight the Turks, fight Goguryeo, fight the war of destroying the country, and turn those barbarians into slaves.
However, the Turkic Goguryeo may not have fought now, so they can only deal with the Southwest Yi first.

Or destroy the Buddha.
Li Yuan was already preparing to destroy the Buddha, but Li Shimin stopped this plan when he ascended the throne.
At present, the world is quite stable, and Li Chao feels that he can do it.
Forget about Taoism, the relationship between the Li family and Taoism is not ordinary, and the strength of Taoism is far less than that of Buddhism.
Buddhism has a lot of people and wealth.
In Chang'an Gyeonggi alone, there are tens of thousands of monks and nuns, hundreds of Buddhist temples and nunnery, and countless fields, and the tenant farmers attached to their names are estimated to be at least 120,000.
These are not registered in the household registration of the imperial court, and they are not taxed and served by the imperial court.
A wealthy family, Li Chao doesn't plan to move, he is also a class, but the Buddhists are so strong, don't do it Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who is not far from today, destroyed more than 40,000 Buddhist temples in the world and forced 3 million monks and nuns to return to the world.
And that's just the number of monks and nuns, there are 3 million people, which shows the great strength of Buddhism.
This occupied one-third of the country's population at that time, but it was not a household and a people, completely non-productive and non-military service, so it can be said that it was completely parasite.
The role of Emperor Wu of Zhou in destroying Buddha is very strong, and the history says that the civil service is a little Xi, the rent is increasing year by year, and the soldiers are flourishing.
The country of Qi in the east, the demon Rong in the west, and the national security and folk music.
Destroying the Buddha is more effective than destroying a country.
Millions of people were added, countless fields were seized, and much gold and silver wealth was confiscated.
There are more taxpayers, more soldiers, and fewer parasites.
After the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty vigorously supported Buddhism, so that in just a few decades, the power of Buddhism has reached a peak again.
Li Chao was also against Buddhism.
First of all, from the perspective of scholars, they are of course on the side of Confucianism.
Buddhism is only the method of Yidi, not inherent in China, which is not in line with the way of the ancestors.
Moreover, the popularity of Buddhism caused the death of the enemy one after another, and the fortune did not last long, which was harmful to the imperial court.
The people of Buddha Benyi Di do not understand the Chinese language, and the clothes are different.
The mouth does not speak the law of the first king, the body does not obey the law of the first king, and does not know the righteousness of the minister, the love of father and son, so it is not suitable to worship.
Of course, if we put aside this Confucian stance and only look at the level of national interests, worshipping Buddha is not beneficial to the country at all.
Buddhism has turned its back on the Gangchang religion and hindered the national economy and people's livelihood.
Buddhist temples are all over the world, tens of thousands, and millions of monks and nuns.
With such a large population, they do nothing, chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha all day long, especially they have also formed a strong temple economy, Buddhist temples generally own a lot of land, and even have a pledge bank mortgage loan, and they also have a large number of tenants, and even a lot of slaves.
And these millions of monks and nuns, with such a huge estate, will not pay a penny of taxes to the imperial court, and those tenant slaves under their names are also not registered in the imperial court, and they also do not pay taxes or accept taxes.
For the imperial court, this is equivalent to a big tumor, as hateful as the family gatekeeper.
For Li Chao, of course he is good, and the bad ones are just those Buddhism.
If he came to destroy the Buddha once, Li Shimin would have sent it.
There are not as many monks and nuns in the country as there were in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the number of millions is estimated to be no less.
And the number of hermits and slaves attached to these monks and nuns is not ten times, but five or six times.
Tens of thousands of Buddhist temples, how many are in Terada So many Buddha statues, after they are destroyed, how much copper can be obtained?
If you really want to be able to make up your mind to destroy the Buddha, Li Shimin will definitely be very angry.
Not to mention the population, if the monks, nuns, tenants, and slaves of the Buddhist temple are all organized into households, I dare to say that it can increase the population by nearly 10 million.
It is absolutely no problem to increase the number of acres of land by one or two million acres.
Even the property of the Buddhist temple can fill Li Shimin's treasury.
When Wu Zhou destroyed the Buddha, the national strength suddenly became strong, the treasury was full, and then the Northern Qi was destroyed.
Regarding the destruction of Buddha, in fact, Li Tang's upper echelons already had a consensus.
It was only because of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change that this plan was interrupted.
Li Shimin usurped the throne and took the wrong position, so he was worried that destroying the Buddha at this time would allow those who have a heart to take the opportunity to make trouble.
But Li Chao felt that now that all parties were stable, there was no problem in destroying Buddha at this time.
As long as the Buddha is destroyed, it will be fine if you don't kill like Emperor Wei Wu.
Forced Fornie to return to the world, let them marry, give them land and grant them land, and let them farm honestly.
If the Central Plains doesn't have so much land, you can move to the frontier.

The population of the eight prefectures of Shuofang is only 100,000, which is too small, and it is no problem to have a few more 100,000 households.
If the imperial court can increase the number of households by 10 million and increase the number of teachers by 1 or 2 million, it will be very unbelievable.
By the way, it's good to send some unsatisfied monks to the frontier.
Thinking of this, Li Chao returned to the study.
Begin to write the cantata.
Although Li Chao himself used to be a monk, he is still vulgar, and in some ways, this is more convincing.
"To destroy the Buddha, it only takes three years for the Tang Dynasty to have enough national strength to invade the Turks in the north" Li Chao did not forget to take out the one thing that Li Shimin cared about the most, to destroy the Turks to tempt Li Shimin to destroy the Buddha.
"To destroy the Buddha, Datang will increase the number of households by 10 million, increase the number of teachers by 2 million, increase the number of good land by 30 million mu, and get at least 10 million yuan of wealth.
With this gain, the country only needs three years of preparation to go on a northern expedition to destroy the Turks." sprinkled with enthusiasm, Li Chao finally wrote a 100,000-word recital.
It is written in detail that Buddhism is now out of control, the harm to the imperial court, and the many benefits of destroying Buddha.
Of course, after writing so much, Li Chao actually still hopes that when the imperial court destroys Buddhism, he can pick up some leaks.
The power of Buddhism is so strong, it's hard to pick up some leaks casually.
Besides, the quality bank of these temples can be regarded as the biggest competitor of the Li family's pawnshop.
The Li family wants to open pawnshops all over the world and open hundreds of chain stores, and the biggest competitor is the temple quality bank in various places.
The medal activity collected more than 600 rewards in one day yesterday, and the total reward was more than 2,000 people.
