"What doesn't Dai Shangshu understand?"

Zhao Yin, who was ruthlessly left behind by Li Er, could only stay.

"Does the horse have a specific plan for census population?"

The thought of the census gave Dai Zhou a headache.

"In recent years, there has been no census in the household department?"

Zhao Yin did not answer the rhetorical question.

"In recent years, Datang has been fighting for years, and the household department can't even be busy raising materials, how can you be in the mood to care about those?"

Dai Xuan made a bitter face.

In fact, Zhao Yin can understand these things, during the war years, communications were very backward, even if the census was carried out, it was useless, after a battle, the number of casualties was only an approximation, and even their families didn't even know whether they were alive or dead, so they couldn't report it at all!

However, now that the war in the Tang Dynasty has almost zero casualties, it is most appropriate to count the population at this time.

"Then take advantage of this comprehensive census and compare the previous data to analyze how much the population has increased!"

"Hmm!"

"The territory of Datang is constantly expanding, if you only rely on this little person now, it will definitely not work!"

Part of the reason for the decline of the late Tang Dynasty was that the population was too small to rule, and the land it laid down could not be governed, which eventually led to the loss of territory.

"Could it be that a census of the population can solve the problem of population shortage?"

"If you want the territory to really belong to Datang, you must let the people of Datang gradually immigrate there, but the current population of Datang is too small, if you want to immigrate, you must understand the specific number and distribution of the current population!"

"Oh! It turns out that the census is not just about knowing the numbers......! ”

Dai Xuan suddenly realized, "But how can we make the government below pay attention to this matter?" ”

"If Your Majesty says that you will be dismissed if the census is not accurate, will you do it seriously?"

Zhao Yin clasped his hands and smiled playfully.

"Oh! What does the colt mean, to put pressure on the below? ”

With his guidance, Dai Xuan instantly understood.

"That's right, this census will be included in the year-end assessment of officials, whoever wants to fool this matter will wait to return to their hometown!"

"But...... But the old man doesn't have this right! ”

Dai Xuan spread his hands, very helpless.

"You don't have this right, doesn't Your Majesty have it?"

Zhao Yin gave him a blank look.

Is this old man's brain rusted to death?

So stupid?

"Okay, the old man understands!"

Dai Xuan nodded repeatedly.

"Also, this census should form a mechanism so that you can know the increase and decrease of the population in various parts of Datang at any time!"

"What should I do?"

Seeing that this old brainshell was really not good, Zhao Yin told him the idea of the household registration book.

"What a good ponty!"

After hearing this, Dai Xuan couldn't help but admire, and hurriedly went to catch up with Li Er's footsteps and told him about the matter.

However, it aroused Li Er's high interest, and he sent someone to call Zhao Yin over.

"You kid tell me a good story, what's going on with this household registration book?"

Li Erming's team stopped for the time being, and he wanted to understand this idea well.

Not only him, but even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others around Li Er also thought this idea was very good, and they all tilted their heads and stared at Zhao Yin curiously.

So, Zhao Yin had no choice but to tell his thoughts in detail.

In fact, in later generations, the household registration book is a very common thing, but Datang does not have it now, so they feel very novel!

"Good! Just do what the colt says! ”

Li Er immediately decided the matter and asked Dai Zhou to take advantage of the opportunity of the census to establish a perfect household registration system.

Although the task of this matter is too large, it is not impossible to complete it by distributing it to various counties and government offices.

What's more, there is also the pressure exerted by Li Er!

"The son-in-law suggested that all localities should first report the original data as a reference, and then implement the census!"

In this era, people don't care about the number of people, let alone the management system.

"Good!"

Li Er didn't think about it, and immediately responded.

If it weren't for this kid's reminder, he might still be blindly expanding his territory, and in the end he could only make wedding clothes for others!

"If you want to fundamentally solve the population problem, you still have to have more children!"

Zhao Yin couldn't help but sigh.

"Then you kid is born!"

When it comes to this, Li Erqi won't fight anywhere.

There are three wives and concubines, and none of them have a movement in their stomachs!

"Uh......!"

Zhao Yin was dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, they are still too young to have children, and the son-in-law plans to wait a few years before letting them get pregnant and have children!" ”

In desperation, he had to find an excuse casually.

However, none of those old people pouted, and none of them believed it!

You must know that in this era, there are many people who are mothers at the age of twelve or thirteen!

"How old does that have to be?"

Of course, Li Er didn't believe his words, and asked sarcastically.

"At least eighteen years old, a woman who is pregnant too early will hurt her vitality!"

He wasn't talking nonsense about this, but Li Er didn't believe it.

"If everyone doesn't have children until they are eighteen years old, won't the population of Datang still increase?"

"We can encourage those women who have reached adulthood to have more children and have better children!"

"How to encourage?"

"Customize some reward system!"

"Now there's a reward system!"

"It's just not strong enough!"

Zhao Yin believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward.

If there is a reward policy, if they still don't want to give birth, it means that the reward is not attractive enough!

"Datang's current reward system is that if you give birth to a boy, you will be rewarded with two sheep, and if you give birth to a girl, you will be rewarded with a sheep!"

Without waiting for Li Er to answer, Dai Guan, the head of the household department, spoke first.

"It's not going to work!"

Now that a female worker earns more than this every month, how can she have children for this little benefit?

"So what else is going to do?"

The old picker began to make a shaft again.

"For example, you can give them free medical care, as long as you are willing to give birth to a child, from pregnancy to childbirth, the whole process of medical care is free, if there are more than two children in the family, the imperial court can give a certain subsidy every year, and you can also give them land, the more births, the more land they will receive, how to implement it, Your Majesty can discuss with the ministers!"

"With the increase in grain income, the people can't finish cultivating the land in their hands now, so how can they have children because of a little land?"

As soon as Zhao Yin's words fell, Dai Xuan came up and poured cold water.

"The people make a living by arriving the land, and the more land the better, if it is because the efficiency of the arable land is too slow, the horse can invent a machine to improve the efficiency to ensure that how much land can be cultivated!"

Zhao Yin objected to his words.

Only when there is more land will the people live a better life, how can it be too much?

On the contrary, it is because of the increase in arable land that it is possible for them to have more children to ensure sufficient labor!

"Got a new machine?"

However, the focus of Li Er's hearing was the new invention.

No way, who made this kid invent something great every time!

"That's what the son-in-law said, and I will study it when I am free in the future!"

Zhao Yin hurriedly waved his hand.

He's been hitting the back of his head lately, so he doesn't have time to study those things.

"Then do as you say!"

These things disturbed Li Er's headache, and he just wanted to go back to the palace to rest quickly.

Anyway, as long as this kid is here, there will definitely be no mess!

"If, under these incentive policies, some people still don't want to give birth, should they be punished?"

Dai Xuan asked suspiciously.

Zhao Yin gave him a blank look, if he wasn't afraid of being scolded to death, maybe he could try!

"Also, do you want to forbid an old man to marry a young girl?"

Dai Xuan didn't understand what he meant, and threw out another question to find a beating.

Although he was afraid that someone would occupy the pit and not, if this suggestion was really adopted, these old people around him alone could beat him to death in minutes!

"Not yet!"

Looking at such an upright Aiqing, Li Er could only help him play a round.

"When Your Majesty and the ministers discuss the specific results, the son-in-law will publish it in the newspaper and publicize it!"

Zhao Yin forcibly suppressed his smile and pretended to be flat.

"Okay, the specific plan will be discussed tomorrow morning!"

……

The next morning, the main discussion was the incentive policy, and after the ministers discussed the specific plan, they handed it over to Zhao Yin and asked him to publicize it in the Zhenguan Daily.

In addition, she also gave the woman who had more children a false name as a heroic mother.

After the newspaper was published, it caused an uproar among the people.

You know, this is the first time that the imperial court has encouraged childbirth, and it has also rewarded land, which can't help but make many people excited.

Who would think that there is more land?

Even if you can't finish plowing yourself, it's good to subcontract it!

Now that the grain has increased, the people are rich, and they can't eat a few births, anyway, one sheep is herded, and two sheep are also driven!

What's more, Datang doesn't have any entertainment projects now, and after sunset, there is nothing to play except for his wife!
