    In the study room of Qianqing Palace in the capital, Liu Jin was once again summoned to the palace by Emperor Hongzhi.

    "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains has been suppressed, and all the chieftains who participated in the rebellion have been beheaded in public."

    Liu Jian reported to Emperor Hongzhi about the rebellion of the southwestern chieftains in a loud voice.

    Emperor Hongzhi began to have trouble sleeping these days. The chieftains of the southwest rebelled, more than ten tribes in the western regions rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and the chieftains of Uzang and Xiaoxiao also joined forces to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

    This made Emperor Hongzhi extremely anxious, but fortunately, the bad news had only arrived in the capital for a few days, and good news came soon.

    The rebellion of the Southwest Chieftains was put down in the shortest time. The Southwest Chieftains, who had lost the basis of their rule, could not make any waves at all, and were easily put down by the exiled officials and garrison troops in the Southwest.

    In the Western Region, more than a dozen tribes that rebelled against the Ming Dynasty were suppressed immediately by Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia. They were slaughtered cleanly with ease. By the way, the leaders of the large and small tribes in the Western Region were also summoned.  , requiring these leaders and nobles to go to the capital, otherwise they will be regarded as rebelling against the Ming Dynasty.

    The only headache now is on the Uzang side. A large number of officials assigned to Uzang were killed. Chieftains and lamas united to resist the Ming court. They even dared to attack Qinghai and Gansu. It was extremely audacious.

    The imperial court did not have any troops stationed in Uzang, and there were no immigrants. It only had 20,000 cavalry stationed in Qinghai. However, Uzang was a vast territory, and it would not take one or two days to suppress these chieftains and lamas.  .

    "good!"

    Emperor Hongzhi said happily upon hearing this.

    Due to the reform of the local government in the southwest, the toast problem has almost been solved. Now it is just jumping around and cannot make any waves at all.

    As for the large and small tribes in the Western Regions, they took this opportunity to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and also asked their tribal leaders to come to the capital. From now on, they will be almost like the tribal leaders on the grassland. They will enjoy the blessings here in the capital. As for the tribes, they will slowly  It has nothing to do with them.

    Next, we can begin to carry out in-depth changes and intervention in these tribes in the Western Regions, completely abolish these previous tribal systems, and incorporate these nomadic tribes into the solid rule of the Ming Dynasty.

    The only thing I have to worry about now is Uzang.

    But there is really nothing to worry about in Uszang. During this period, Uszang itself was fragmented and weak. Furthermore, Uszang was vast and sparsely populated and lacked resources, so it was impossible to make waves.

    As long as the imperial army garrisoned in Uzang, they could immediately wipe out these chieftains and lamas, liberate the serfs, abolish the serf system, and distribute land, cattle and sheep to these serfs. The chieftains and lamas would completely lose the basis of their rule.

    Of course, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to rule here for a long time, it still had to adhere to the comprehensive implementation of the Ming Dynasty policy. After all, there is really no way to attract Han people to immigrate here.

    "Your Majesty, except for Uzang, the Western Regions and the Southwest, the implementation of the civil hierarchy system of our Ming Dynasty has been very smooth in all places. At present, the first census of our Ming Dynasty has basically been completed."

    The minister of household affairs, Ji Zhong, handed over a memorandum in his hand and said.

    "Well, tell me, how many people are there in my Ming Dynasty?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled happily, took the memorial passed by Xiao Jing and asked.

    "Your Majesty, after two months of census, we have determined the Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces, plus the four provinces of Liaodong, Grassland, Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyang, Overseas Australia, Golden Continent, and many overseas colonies and overseas vassal states."

    "The total population of our Ming Dynasty is 100 million and 57 million, or 930,000, of which the total population of the two capitals and thirteen provinces is 100 million and 35 million, and the total population outside the customs and overseas is 2,000  About three million.¡±

    Zhong Zhong read out these numbers very skillfully.

    "Ten and fifty-seven million people!"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the population of our Ming Dynasty is still very large. The total population recorded in the previous yellow books was less than one-third, but the hidden population was more than one-third."  absolutely."

    "Your Majesty, the reason why we can count so many numbers in this census is mainly because Your Majesty has freed the population tax and taxes. Even without paying the population tax and taxes, the people are still very willing to register.  , because if you are not registered and do not obtain an identity card, you will be unable to move forward in the future, and you will also be unable to participate in military recruitment, etc.In Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, the per capita cultivated land area is less than three acres.  "

    Liu Jin looked at everyone¡¯s expressions, smiled and continued.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the per capita cultivated land in Zhejiang is not even three acres.¡±

    Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, Xie Qian couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Zhejiang and Fujian are both mountainous and cultivated land is scarce, but no one would have thought that the cultivated land was so scarce that the per capita cultivated land was not even three acres.

    "Let's look at the fourth table again. This table reflects the population density of our Ming Dynasty. The highest population density is naturally the two capitals and thirteen provinces of our Ming Dynasty. Among them, the Beijing-Tianjin region and the Jiangnan region have the highest population density.  The least dense one is Australia, which has a population of less than half a million!"

    Liu Jin continued to talk about the tables one by one, and everyone listened carefully and looked at them carefully. They immediately understood why Liu Jin said that a census should be conducted instead of a population count.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
