Because according to Li Ke's calculation, it seems that the population in 100 years is not necessarily smaller than the two extra generations.
Moreover, these are healthy people, which will greatly reduce the tragedies and tragedies of young children losing their mothers.
From this point of view, it seems that Li Ke's statement is more convincing to them.
Thinking of this, they turned their heads to look at Li Chengqian again.
At this time, Li Chengqian didn't know how to refute after hearing Li Ke's words.
Because he took out the data to calculate, Li Ke also took out the data to calculate.
The data of the two parties are similar, but Li Ke is superior to his set in terms of emotion and population quality except for the data.
Obviously, if he can't come up with a better argument, then Li Ke is about to gain the upper hand.
But he couldn't think of any rebuttals for a while. After all, he couldn't really ignore it and let women continue to have more children, right?
Changle was diagnosed and treated by Sun Simiao not long ago, because of the loss of vitality due to having a child too early, if she regenerates, she may not have a few years to live.
If he really dared to say that, Li Shimin would probably drive him out of the Tai Chi Hall immediately.
Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say anymore. Empress Changsun was his own sister, who married Li Shimin at the age of 13 and passed away at the age of 35 last year.
Changle is his daughter-in-law. She is only 16 years old this year, but she already has a son, and the disease is deeply rooted because of premature birth.
If he dared to let Li Lizhi continue to bear children for the eldest grandson's family, he could guarantee that Li Shimin would let Li Lizhi and the eldest grandson reconcile.
"Can His Highness King Wu guarantee that having a child will not hurt your vitality?"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look at Li Ke and asked a question.
"Birth is naturally hurting the mother's vitality, but a mature woman can make up for it after giving birth, while an immature woman can't make up for the damage to the body caused by childbirth!"
Li Ke said to Changsun Wuji in an extremely firm tone.
No one in the entire Tang Dynasty knew better than him about this aspect of knowledge.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji had nothing to say.
For a moment, the entire court was silent, and everyone looked at Li Shimin.
Because the final decision has to be Li Shimin.
"What do you guys think?"
Li Shimin glanced at everyone, and asked a faint question.
"Your Majesty, I support His Highness King Wu's statement. Population is important, but health and emotions are equally important. You must have both!"
Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up and agreed with Li Ke's statement.
"Your Majesty, I support His Highness King Wu!"
"I support His Royal Highness King Wu!"
Soon, ministers expressed their views one after another, and most of them supported Li Ke.
After all, what Li Ke and Li Chengqian said, everyone 113 more agrees with what Li Ke said.
Population is indeed important, but it is not only quantitative.
Datang itself is the most powerful country. It was the strongest when it had such a large population. Even if the number of people is reduced by two generations after 100 years, it will still be the strongest.
Besides, according to what Li Ke said, the population may not determine who will have the most.
And in this way, fewer and fewer people will suffer from diseases due to premature birth.
Many factories are now recruiting female workers. These people can work in factories in the future and contribute to productivity.
Naturally, everyone is more inclined to Li Ke's statement.
Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others saw this scene, although their faces were ugly, they were very upset.
But there is no way to change it.
After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Li Shimin nodded, knowing what to do.
"From now on, women in my Tang Dynasty are not allowed to get married before the age of 16, and it is best to have children!"
Li Shimin immediately announced his will.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Father is wise!"
After hearing Li Shimin's announcement, Li Ke and the ministers saluted one after another.
Li Ke is still very satisfied with this result, and Li Shimin basically implemented it according to the idea he said before.
It is mandatory to be older than 16 to get married, and it is recommended to have children, but it is not mandatory.
After all, in this era, security measures are still very poor. If there is a child, it will naturally be born.
Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji and others were very dissatisfied, and they don't know whether they were dissatisfied with this will, or dissatisfied with losing to Li Ke again in the court.
Yes, Li Ke and Li Chengqian's second head-to-head confrontation in the court ended with Li Ke's victory again!
Now that the first matter has been discussed, it's time for the second matter.
After all, before the start of the Great Court Meeting, Li Shimin said that there are two things to discuss today.
As for the second matter, which was about to be discussed at the first official court meeting of the new year, Li Ke already had a vague guess in his mind.
Not only Li Ke had vaguely guessed it, but many ministers in the Tai Chi Hall basically knew it by heart.
"The second thing is that this year I will personally conquer Goguryeo!"
Sure enough, soon Li Shimin said it firmly!
PS: Second more! .
Chapter 255 The plan to make Concubine Yang a queen!The benefactor of the women of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Ke can think of this matter here, and Li Chengqian can naturally think of it too.
In the East Palace.
"When His Majesty is on a personal expedition, it must be the prince who oversees the country and exercises the power of the Son of Heaven."
"You can use this rare opportunity to expand your influence and hone your abilities."
Changsun Wuji is still in a very good mood. Li Chengqian can get the power to supervise the country, which is of great benefit to Li Chengqian's future development.
After all, when Li Shimin was not in Chang'an City, Li Chengqian was the biggest!
Supervise the country on behalf of the emperor, which can expand the influence in the court, arrange some people and so on.
And you can use the power of the emperor to win over some important ministers who had no chance or capital to win over before.
In short, there are many places that can be operated, especially with his help, it will be smoother.
"Uncle, I understand."
Li Chengqian also nodded excitedly and expectantly.
Although he was only supervising the country on behalf of the emperor, he was exercising the power of the emperor after all, and it could be regarded as a short-lived addiction to the emperor.
This still made him look forward to it.
Moreover, he can take advantage of this opportunity to deploy some of his own personnel in various departments of the imperial court to expand his influence.
"However, what if Li Ke performs outstandingly on the Goguryeo battlefield?"
Li Chengqian suddenly thought of Li Ke, and asked worriedly.
Li Ke is really strange, he can't understand Li Ke at all, who knows if Li Ke will do something unexpected by then.
"It's not a big problem. With His Majesty's personal conquest and all the generals here, it is difficult for Li Ke to have room to play."
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Li Shimin's royal conquest was accompanied by a group of famous generals.
In the Tang Dynasty where the stars were like clouds, Li Ke seemed insignificant.
And it was not a war of equal strength. Compared with Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo was still far behind.
Once a fight starts, it is likely that the battle will end soon, and Li Ke may not have the chance to perform.
Maybe it is very possible to return empty-handed by then.
"What uncle said is very true."
Li Chengqian also nodded in agreement.
"Besides, Li Ke's plan is that he will lead the navy to attack Beisha City from the sea. At that time, he only needs to send someone to notify Beisha City in advance."
"Anyway, it doesn't affect the overall situation, but it can affect Li Ke's record."
Changsun Wuji immediately thought of another plan and said to Li Chengqian.
Li Ke attacked Beisha City from the water, and Li Shimin personally led an army to attack Goguryeo from land.
With Datang's strength, even without the results of the surface attack, he can still win, so it will not affect the overall situation.
But it can make Li Ke lose the only chance to make meritorious service.
"It's time to operate."
Li Chengqian nodded, now he was completely relieved, and he was already looking forward to the expedition to Goguryeo.
After the court meeting, everyone went back to their homes.
After Li Ke returned to the palace, he was thinking about the next thing.
"If you want to make the mother concubine a queen, you need to make some more preparations."
What Li Ke was thinking in his heart was how to get everyone to agree to let Concubine Yang become the new queen after the eldest grandson queen.
Empress Changsun was Li Shimin's official wife when Li Shimin was still King Qin.
When Li Shimin ascended the throne, it was natural for the eldest grandson to become the queen.
But Empress Changsun has passed away. If she wants to establish another empress, then this empress needs some achievements and qualifications.
After all, the queen is the mother of a country, and she must win the hearts of the people and be able to convince them.
"Women in the Tang Dynasty have a high status and are open-minded. Maybe we can start with women."
"It will be logical to make the mother and concubine the leader of the women of the Tang Dynasty, the mother of the country and the queen."
Li Ke quickly thought of a plan, which was to start from the perspective of women.
This is also based on the social atmosphere and characteristics of Datang.
As long as Concubine Yang can win the support of the women of the Tang Dynasty and become the object of respect of the women of the Tang Dynasty, the difficulty of becoming a queen can be said to be reduced to the lowest point.
Although Yang Guang's blood runs through his body, what are the newspapers for?What is public opinion for?
As long as you operate a bit, minimize the influence of this aspect, and maximize the influence of merit, it will naturally make up for it.
In fact, the most important thing is that there are no competitors. Among the existing concubines in the harem, there is no opponent who can threaten Concubine Yang.
As long as Li Ke can persuade Li Shimin to have the idea of re-establishing a queen, Concubine Yang is basically the only candidate.
"As for how to make the mother and concubine the leader of the women in the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to do something that is beneficial to the women in the Tang Dynasty all over the world."
Li Ke continued to think that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, so what can't be done in major matters can only be done to benefit women.
"Delaying marriage and childbirth is one aspect, and women's health is another aspect."
Li Ke thought of the tea girl who looked exactly like Xie Wan'er before time travelling, and she replied below the post.
Let him get women's menstrual period products out in Datang, so as to reduce women in Datang who suffer from some gynecological diseases because they cannot guarantee hygiene during their menstrual period.
Now Li Ke feels that menstrual period products can appear, and he will develop and manufacture them, and then let Concubine Yang be responsible for the promotion, and put all the credit for this matter on Concubine Yang.
In addition, a branch of the medical school was set up in Chang'an City to recruit women to study medicine, and mainly to learn knowledge about gynecological diseases.
And now that more and more women are working in major workshops, there will also be many unfair and oppressed things.
Although the atmosphere of Datang is very open and the status of women is very high, they are still relatively weak after all.
At this time, it is necessary for a woman with a high enough status to stand up and speak out for everyone and strive for some fairness.
Li Ke felt that Concubine Yang was perfect for this role.
