Chapter 574 Qin Huaidao continued to go to the construction site in the afternoon. This time, Qin Huaidao used hundreds of tons of steel bars and a large amount of cement. He hoped that the foundation would be solid.

Every day, Qin Huaidao has to go to the construction site to inspect. On that day, after Qin Huaidao inspected the construction site, he went to the Ganlu Hall.

Qin Huaidao thought that there was news coming from the front line, and he didn't know how Li Ji was doing. When he arrived at Ganlu Palace, Wang En immediately went in and informed him.

"Father, how are the Duke of England?" Qin Huaidao entered the Ganlu Palace and asked after looking at Li Shimin.

"I just received the reward, the fever has subsided, and now it is recovering. Ding Renxin gave him that medicine there, and the effect is very good. Yesterday afternoon, the Duke of England started to go to the ground.

Today, I reported that Ding Renxin needs to observe for two days before she can let Li Ji continue to attack after confirming that there is no problem!" Li Shimin sat there, saying with lingering fear.

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Huaidao nodded with confidence when he heard this.

"We must also hurry up from the military academy. Now Gao Ming is promoting the sweet potato, and the effect is also good. The sweet potato seedlings are almost coming out, right?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"I'm out. My greenhouse has already come out. It will be planted in a few days. Now my fief is already in the farmland, waiting for the sweet potato seedlings!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"That's good, where is the military academy? I heard that there are people there now that are starting to level the land?" Li Shimin continued to look at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Yes, now Fang Yiai is in charge. My son asked them to level the land there first and dig the foundation. Before September, they will definitely be able to build it well.

My son hopes that this time, 500 officers under the sixth rank can be selected from the entire army, and the age is not over 35 years old to train. Among them, they must be divided. They are under 25 years old, and they must focus on training, especially for this group of martial arts scholars, who must also enter the military academy." Qin Huaidao suggested to Li Shimin.

"Okay, my father allowed it. As you said, if there is not enough land, there will be trouble behind the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there will be a few bridges this year!

There is also the cement straight road you mentioned. My father was thinking, should we first build the straight road from Xi'an to Luoyang? If it is easy to use, then build a straight road from the southwest to Lingnan, and in the south, we still need to strengthen our rule.

In addition, we must plan a straight road from southwest to northwest, and from Xi'an to the north, so as to ensure that our Tang army can rush to the border area as fast as possible!" Li Shimin sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, that requires a lot of money!" Qin Huaidao heard it and reminded Li Shimin.

"Build slowly, don't worry, didn't you say it? If you want to be rich, build roads first. If all those roads are open, the people's materials will be able to circulate quickly, and the people of our Tang Dynasty will become richer and richer.

Also, I asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to start counting how many people there are in the Tang Dynasty? The last time I counted it a rough count during the Wude period, which was about 12 million people. Now, I don’t know how many people there are.” Li Shimin then said to Qin Huaidao.

"I guess it will not be less than 25 million. If the statistics are a few years later, it may exceed 30 million people!" Qin Huaidao thought for a moment and said.

"There won't be that many, right? The father is probably at most about 15 million." Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and said to Qin Huaidao for a moment.

"Father, this time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I hope that the Emperor of Father needs to issue an imperial edict. This time, the population statistics will be issued. The wealthy people in various places are not allowed to conceal the population privately.

Father, you know that many people now have no household registration. They just hide in the mountains. In addition, many rich people, in order to pay less taxes, they will hide the population in the mansion!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

"There is such a thing?" Li Shimin heard it and looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.

"Yes, I don't expect it to be less than 25 million. Over the years, there have been many children, mainly many children!" Qin Huaidao said affirmatively to Li Shimin.

"Okay, that's a good count!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"My son hopes to form a routine, which is to count the population of the country every ten years, so that we can know what the people below have lived in these years." Qin Huaidao bowed to Li Shimin again and said.

Qin Huaidao hopes that the court can strengthen the population statistics, and it is the best every ten years. Li Shimin heard it and nodded.

"Father, if the people's living conditions are good, the population will increase rapidly. On the contrary, the population will increase slowly. Even, there will be a decrease. During the war years, the population will decrease very quickly.

If the Tang Dynasty had maintained no large-scale war for 50 years, or if there were no internal wars, then the population of the Tang Dynasty would have exceeded 10 million in fifty years. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would have any talents, and the surrounding countries would not dare to invade us.

Of course, this premise is to develop medicine. Erchen has always hoped to invite Dr. Sun and others to give lectures at the university so that more people can study medicine. In this way, the probability of people dying from illness will be reduced a lot.

In fact, there are still many things to do in the court. After the university and military academy are built, the courses need to be planned. For example, in universities, there are two disciplines: arithmetic and research.

In fact, we need to subdivided many disciplines again, so that we can ensure that our Tang Dynasty has professional talents in all aspects.

The same is true for military academies, for example, there are commanding generals who specialize in training cavalry, commanding generals who specialize in training infantry, and those who specialize in training siege warfare, defense operations, etc. Of course, these are all training primary commanders.

When you reach the advanced level, such as the commander of Uncle Cheng and others, you need comprehensive training. No matter what subject it is, you need to be involved!" Qin Huaidao sat there and continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Well, you have to continue to arrange it in college. Is there no one studying medicine?" Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"I have learned very little, and they are all children from poor families. They feel that there is no hope of the imperial examination, so I can learn it. My son has a suggestion, but I don't know if it is appropriate." Qin Huaidao sat there and asked.

"You said!" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and started talking after hearing this.

"I want to build a hospital. The hospital in the court is not the kind of hospital that goes to the pharmacy to find a doctor if you are sick, but the hospital run by the court. For example, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go to the hospital in the court to treat the disease.

Those who study medicine will pay him wages to ensure their income, as long as they can concentrate on treating the people!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and proposed.

"Well, but there are not so many doctors." Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao when he heard this.

"It is precisely because there are not so many doctors that my sons suggest this. This will make many children from poor families go to study medicine, hoping to work in the hospital. In this way, they can ensure that the people in my lobby will not have any illness and will fall down soon." Qin Huaidao continued to speak to Li Shimin.

"Well, in this way, if you write a charter, your father will consider it. The father knows that it is right, but the ministers may not agree!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao.

"When the time comes, I will convince those ministers!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin and said firmly.

Without medical protection, it is difficult for the population to grow rapidly. Once there is any plague, a large number of people will die. This is why, there were tens of millions of people since the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years have passed, and there are still about ten million people. If medicine develops, the population will not grow.

Qin Huaidao sat in the Ganlu Hall for a while and then returned to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works has a lot to do now, so Qin Huaidao also needs to deal with it. On the Ministry of Personnel, there are two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel to help, so he can spare a lot of time to go out and be busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Works.

In the evening, Qin Huaidao returned to the mansion and looked at the delivery report sent by the court.

"Master, the third master is asking for a meeting!" A manager said to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, please come in quickly." Qin Huaidao said as soon as he stood up. After a while, Uncle Qin Rui came in.

"Uncle San, why are you here? Please sit down!" Qin Huaidao greeted Uncle San and poured him tea at the same time.

"Boping, we have been here for several days. In the past few days, we have also visited Chang'an City. Now we just want to ask if the house outside the city has been built. If it is done, we will go there. We are not used to living here!" Qin Rui sat down and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Why aren't you used to it?" Qin Huaidao looked at Qin Rui in confusion and asked:

"Is it because the mansion has not been well received? Some maids and servants are disrespectful to you?"

Qin Rui waved his hand and said, "No, how dare they? We are not just sitting and enjoying our lives. Your fifth uncle and I have been working hard in the fields for half of our lives, but we just know how to deal with crops. We can enjoy such a good life.

Boping, I think, let’s go outside the city. Life here is good, but we are really not used to living. In the countryside, we are still more comfortable. When I miss you, I will just come to Chang'an City to take a look."

After hearing this, Qin Huaidao also said with a smile: "Cheng, Uncle San said so, then I'll ask the butler to see if it's done?"

Qin Huaidao said that, then stood up and arrived at the door and asked the servants to inform the butler to come over.

After a while, the housekeeper came over and Qin Huaidao asked how the house in Qinzhuang was arranged.

"Master, you can arrange everything today. Just as I was thinking of reporting this to you, Master, now there are still a few small furniture that have not been sent there. Before dark, I will definitely be able to send it." The butler immediately bowed his hand to report to Qin Huaidao.

"Oh, okay, this is the best, we will go tomorrow!" Qin Rui stood up happily and said.

"This, there is no need to be so anxious, right?" Qin Huaidao asked as he looked at Qin Rui.

"Oh, Boping, we are really not used to living here. Although everything is good, Boping, it's not that Uncle San said you, you have helped us a lot. All the rest of the things they have to do is to give them to the ground. They can't support themselves, that is, they are incompetent." Qin Rui persuaded Qin Huaidao.

"That's it, then I'll send you there myself tomorrow!" Qin Huaidao could only nod his head when he heard that he insisted so much, and knew that they were indeed not used to it.

A few nights ago, Li Lixian also told him that it was better when Qin Huaidao was at home, but when Qin Huaidao was not at home, they were all very restrained.

In other words, Qin Yongdao is a little better. If other people don’t leave the mansion, they won’t even dare to come out of the yard and don’t go to the back garden to take a look.

"Okay, I'll inform them now." Qin Rui said happily.

"Hey, Uncle San, sit for a while!" Qin Huaidao immediately called Uncle San and said.

"No, it won't delay your reading. Look, Uncle San will inform them to pack up their things." Qin Rui waved his hand to Qin Huaidao and said.
