Chapter 783 Summary of the Court Conference
In late March, this was the first big court meeting since the unification of the Central Plains, and its significance is not insignificant.The governors or their representatives from all states in the country were all on the spot, and the number was more than double that of previous years.Fortunately, the court hall is spacious enough to accommodate the current number of people without being crowded.

On the court hall, the most eye-catching thing is the map placed obliquely in the middle of the imperial steps, which depicts the entire territory of today's Hua in great detail.Everyone can see it as long as they look up.Compared with the full sense of accomplishment of the Tianhua officials, among them, the surrendered officials saw this map with mixed feelings.At the same time, looking at the vermilion map of the territory, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved. This is probably the largest territory opened up by the Central Plains dynasty in the past dynasties.

As the chief assistant, Han Song started the annual end of last year, counting Tianhua's various development achievements in the past year, and giving everyone a detailed interpretation.

After the complete recovery of the three Weijinhai states last year and the completion of the handover of the Dongyang three states, today Huabian has 27 state administrative regions, namely Huaxia Ansha Zhongqing Mingyan Weilei Jinhai twelve states in the Central Plains area; grassland area There are seven prefectures in Pingbei, Guangyuan, Liaohan, Mo, Yiding and Xuanxi in the Western Regions, and the five prefectures of Beiting Duhufu; there are also the newly won Dongyang Yingzhou, Fusang, and Penglai three prefectures.

However, although the division of states and counties is more than double that of the Central Plains, the population shows a huge difference.After several years of statistics, the Central Plains had a population of more than 9000 million at the end of the Tianwu Dynasty.But after more than ten years of war, more than 3000 million people have been lost.Today, the population of the twelve states in the Central Plains is only about 6000 million.But despite this, the Central Plains is still the most densely populated area within Tianhua's territory.

The total population of the grasslands and Mobei has also dropped sharply from 500 million a dozen years ago to more than 200 million.Although the Central Plains people have spared no effort to migrate and settle in these years, there are still only more than 300 million people.The Mobei area of ​​the grassland is extremely vast, twice as large as the Central Plains, but it only has a population of more than 300 million, which is typical of a vast land and sparsely populated.

In the Western Regions and Beiting, more than ten years ago, there were many countries, and the population was more than 800 million before the war.However, after several successive wars, the population has been greatly reduced, and now there are less than 500 million people left. This is in addition to the number of immigrants from the Central Plains over the years.

As for Dongyang, before the war, it had a population of more than 600 million. With Lin Yifan's personal conquest, he was brutally punished with a vengeful mentality.So much so that after the war, after the conquest by the Tianhua Army and the cannibalism of the various princes, the population dropped sharply to half.

Therefore, the total population of today's China is more than [-] million.It is the most populous and most powerful country in the world.

In the past year, Tianhua's grain production continued to grow.According to statistics, excluding the Weijinhai three-state fields that have not yet been fully counted, Tianhua's arable area reached 9000 mu last year, and the grain output reached the highest ever, breaking through 3000 million shi.There are more than 4000 government-run pastures, and a total of [-] million cattle, sheep and horses are raised.At the same time, during the Southern Expedition, the Tianhua Army obtained a large amount of money, food and materials in the Central Plains, which slightly made up for the loss of the Southern Expedition. However, the Central Plains has been in war for a long time, and various places are dilapidated, so Tianhua still needs to continue to provide relief subsidies.

Although the industrial and commercial development in Tianhua was once in a downturn because of the war.But with the end of the war, workshops and shops quickly spread to the three southern states, and government-run workshops and private workshops bloomed everywhere. Today, there are more than 5 registered workshops.Among them, there are more than 4 government-operated ones and more than 600 private ones. These workshops receive a large number of workers, and the number has reached nearly 2000 million.Among them, only [-]% of the number of people accepted by the government-run workshops remained, and the rest were employed in private workshops, indirectly affecting more than [-] million people.

There are tens of thousands of registered merchants, tens of thousands of shops have been opened, millions of employees have been recruited, and nearly 10 million people have been affected.There are tens of thousands of caravans and a total of millions of carriages.The number of caravan guards is 10.The countries that have established commercial relations with Tianhua include the Western Sayyel Khanate, the Ukaner Sultanate, and the Eternal Kingdom of God. Now it has involved the countries of Vientiane and the countries of the Far West.

At the same time, the sea corridor that Tianhua is building is also progressing steadily.Today, thousands of merchant ships have been built, and they will grow further as the navy expands in the southern waters.At present, the main trading partners of merchant ships are only Dongyang and the southern countries.

Tianhua's tax revenue last year had reached 8000 million taels.Coupled with the profits from the official business, the money from the finances has reached an astonishing nearly ten million taels.Of course, although the income is increasing day by day, the amount spent last year is also very huge.This battle of the Southern Expedition alone swallowed nearly 5000 million taels of silver abruptly.Coupled with the post-war restoration and reconstruction, it is tens of millions of taels of expenditure.So far, there is not much left in the treasury.

Following Han Song's eloquence, everyone began to gradually understand Tianhua's inner strength and potential.Now because of the initial decision in the south, all kinds of materials in the north are given priority to supply to the south.Just wait until this year's autumn harvest, the food in the south will be completely self-sufficient, and then the situation in the south will be completely stabilized.At that time, both the north and the south can be used by Tianhua, and the national power will soar more than double. It will never be like the Southern Expedition the year before last, when they couldn't win quickly, they had to temporarily stop the war and cultivate for a year. Only then can we fight again.

After Han Song finished speaking, the various ministries began to report to the conference the progress of last year's affairs and the goals to be accomplished in the coming year.Guide the direction of future development for the state governors and representatives present here.

Later, when it was the military's turn to report, Luo Yi began to introduce the current situation of the Tianhua Army.

Today, the Tianhua Army has a standing force of 50, more than 100 million reserve troops, and millions of militiamen.However, the purpose of the militia is to deploy soldiers in agriculture, and as long as the war situation is not tense, they will not move lightly.

Among them, there are 25 regular troops and 50 reserve troops stationed in the Central Plains. Most of the troops are stationed in Leizhou and Shazhou, forming a restraint on Tianyun.There are 15 regular troops and 20 reserve troops stationed on the grassland, guarding the north and south of the grassland.There are 10 regular troops and [-] reserve troops stationed in the Western Regions to guard against neighboring countries.Finally, there are [-] regular troops stationed in Dongyang, and [-] reserves.The last remaining reserve soldiers were stationed in various cities of Tianhua to maintain local law and order.The other [-] regular troops belong to the naval establishment. If [-] reserve troops are added, the overall strength of the navy will reach [-] horses.

As for the soldiers and horses of Cao Gu who surrendered to the captives in the Southern Expedition, the total number exceeded 40. After some elimination, a total of 15 elite soldiers were recruited to form a new army reserve, and all the rest were sent back to their hometowns.
