Wang Zheng first demonstrated his strength and forced Lu Dongzan to flee Qinghai. After the commander-in-chief fled, the Tubo army had no choice but to surrender to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng would naturally use these 100,000 troops, and use them well.

There are only about 4 million households in the Tang Dynasty now, and the population is less than 20 million. One hundred thousand young and strong people are a huge labor force and naturally cannot be wasted.

Think about it, isn’t it incredible that the entire Tang Dynasty, with such a large territory, had only 20 million people? This population number had to be maintained at a few dozen until Li Zhi passed away and Wu Zetian became emperor. In just a few years, the registered households increased to 6 million and the population became more than 30 million.

What’s interesting is that Wang Zheng has more than 200 farms, each of which has ten subordinate small farms, all of which are led by Yuzhou Huangzhuang. The population of these more than 2,000 small farms is more than 6 million, with about 3,000 people in each small farm, which is about the same as the number of people in a production brigade in the future.

These populations are distributed on both sides of the Yu Shui line, which is equivalent to the Jialing River coast from Hanzhong to Chongqing in later generations. The depth varies, some are more than ten miles, and some are more than a hundred miles, depending on the specific situation.

Wang Zheng has a population of more than six million in a tributary of the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to one-third of the population of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, you are the one who knows best whether you have made any contribution or not, and there are always many people in the world who understand this.

If you want to carry out drastic reforms, you must rely on the army. Any army is made up of people, and the high-level positions in the army are bound to be filled with a large number of children from aristocratic families.

Many people do not seem to be greedy for money, but that is just because they are not tempted enough. If someone were put in Wang Zheng's position, he could get millions of dollars just by stretching out his hand. Li Zhi really did not dare to throw anyone over to test people's hearts.

But how to ensure the loyalty of these Tibetans is a problem. Wang Zheng chose to let the Tibetan army go to the edge of Yu Shui to see what kind of life the people on his farm are living.

If there was a purely foreign army arriving in Chang'an at this time, Li Zhi would naturally be more confident.

The day begins with breakfast. Although the mornings in Yuzhou are very damp and cold, the Tibetans still get up quickly.

If such an army was only targeting certain people, they could naturally be screened before being used. However, Li Zhi's opponents this time were the aristocratic families from all over the world. Over the decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, various relationships had become intertwined, and even the imperial guards could not guarantee that they could be relied upon at this time.

However, Li Zhi was still carrying out drastic reforms. Without Wang Zheng in Chang'an, Li Zhi was not as confident. After all, this time he was targeting all the aristocratic families in the world.

In order to prevent that little monkey from always doing things that are famous all over the world, he, the emperor, would seem a little mediocre. Even though Wang Zheng always puts the credit on himself and the queen, when he thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case.

If Li Zhi was not so anxious, Wang Zheng would be confident that he could slowly integrate most of the Tibetans into the Yuzhou system.

At this time, Wang Zheng sent 100,000 Tibetan troops to Chang'an, naturally wanting to lend a helping hand to Li Zhi.

When several things came together, Li Zhi decided to do them all at once. After Wang Zheng got rid of the Tibetans, he would transfer Wang Zheng back to Chang'an.

Then let the students give these people some preliminary education, which will take one month. When these people leave, some more students will be sent to follow them.

Huangzhuang has a population of six million, all the Ba people are soldiers, and Wang Zheng's teaching method has a very high success rate. The Yuzhou system is said to have one million students, one million craftsmen, and one million soldiers. Even if only 20% or 30% of them are usable, it is a force that is enough to make people tremble with fear.

One issue was that Li Zhi also felt that reform had reached a point where it was imperative.

Chen Zhengke said yesterday that they would have glutinous rice dumplings this morning, and the filling was a mixture of red and white sugar, sesame seeds, orange peels, and walnut kernels.

No matter who is the emperor, he has to be careful when encountering such things.

Li Zhi was not short of money, and he had won more battles than lost in his foreign military campaigns in recent years. If it were not for the Tubo that was always bothering him, Li Zhi would have taken action at home long ago. Now that Wang Zheng had left Shu, he had broken the backbone of Tubo at once. Naturally, Li Zhi had no reason to endure it any longer.

In the past two years, every time Li Zhi looked at the household registration submitted by Wang Zheng, there would be more hostility in his eyes when he looked at the civil and military officials in the court, especially the officials from the aristocratic families, who always had a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

Originally, Li Zhi planned to wait for Wang Zheng to return to Chang'an before carrying out reforms, but this time Wang Zheng easily broke the backbone of the Tibetans, which made Li Zhi think about whether he could also solve the domestic problems.

However, Li Zhi also had people he could absolutely trust. The Khitan clan was very pure, loyal and reliable, not to mention Wang Zheng's Yuzhou clan, who were all from Ba and farming families. This was a force that could sweep the world.

The most important thing is that Wang Zheng can no longer stay in Yuzhou. Even if Wang Zheng can always stick to his original intention, what about others?

Although concealing the population is an unspoken practice, slaves and servants have no household registration, and the population in the mountains and swamps is also difficult to count, but this is a bit too far off.

If the commander of these people is Wang Zheng again, it would be simply terrifying.

In the early years, Li Zhi was reluctant to give up the huge annual profits of the imperial farm. After searching around, he could not find a capable person who would despise money to replace Wang Zheng.

It's just that Li Zhi didn't dare to use him lightly. Even letting Wang Zheng go to Qinghai was a decision Li Zhi made after repeated consideration. One reason was that the Tibetans had made Li Zhi intolerable.

Even though I don’t eat it often here, it’s not because I can’t afford it, but because it’s troublesome. Such a rare and good thing can’t be missed.

Although the work was tiring yesterday, the Tibetans were still happy because not only was the wage high enough, but the food was also very good. There was chicken, duck, fish, meat and various sweet cakes to eat as long as you could eat it.

People who raise sheep may not have much meat to eat, and how can lamb cooked with a little salt compare to the delicious dishes on the farm?

When they were having lunch yesterday, these Tibetans almost got into a fight over food. The problem was settled only when Chen Zheng said that if there was not enough food, they could just make more and eat whatever they wanted.

Seeing several Tibetans running over happily, Chen Zheng smiled and asked Kun Sang, "How did you feel about attending the class yesterday?"
