"The nobleman just said 'resentment', and the villains really dare not have it. Today's good life is thanks to whom, the villains know very well. It's not that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, where are we grass people doing good work? ”

"Little Lao'er, little Lao'er...... the only thing I can't figure out is ,...... It's that immigrant. ”

"Twenty yuan per capita, the dolls who don't have teeth to speak must be counted, and the old men and old ladies who can't do work must also be counted, isn't the emperor going to move all of us to the river?"

"The imperial court took ten times the acres of land as compensation, which is very benevolent and righteous. But it's not like we can't live,

Zhao Gou was talking to an old man in his fifties, wearing a broken straw hat on his head, and his hair exposed outside the brim of the hat was completely white. On the shoulder is a gown that is not gray and yellow. The whole back, black and shiny, seemed to be coated with a layer of oil.

A pair of hands were rough like old pine bark, cracked one after another. Deep wrinkles were also carved on his face, and the person was very hurried to speak, rubbing his hands constantly.

"Brother, the court is changing the law to let everyone emigrate, in the final analysis, this is also for the sake of everyone's future generations."

Zhao Gou could clearly feel the change in the atmosphere.

As soon as the old man in front of him spoke, the eyes of all the peasants became pitiful. The per capita annual income of 20 yuan is an income that a large number of peasant families simply cannot achieve.

Especially after the burden is lightened, many families have added children and grandchildren. In the past, there were at most three or two children in the family, but now they are as uncontrollable as a flood that bursts the embankment.

It's not a question of how many children you have to have, it's a question of how many children your own man can let himself have.

Chinese people have always had the traditional idea of having more children and more blessings, and this thinking does not contradict drowning babies, which is because the family is poor and difficult to support, but having more children and more blessings is the ideal of all Chinese.

But the sudden 'per capita' income made families who didn't know how many families who had a very beautiful life suddenly become unhappy.

No way. Of the dolls added in the past few years, none of them have grown up.

The old man who opened his mouth is a very representative one. Of the two sons, one of the Jin people folded when they went south, and now the only remaining only son has five babies in the family. The eldest granddaughter is about to say goodbye, and the eldest grandson is already fifteen years old, but the following three two, three or four-year-old dolls have suddenly pulled the family income below the red line.

Zhao Gou was not angry at all, he could think of the grievances of the people before the policy was promulgated, otherwise how could he play the 'tenfold' hole card.

"Everyone thinks about it, the imperial court has worked hard to take the land in the west, but the big guys are unwilling to go. There are still the original natives living in that territory, can they be of the same mind as us? ”

"There are not even a few Han people in this western territory, even if it is occupied by the soldiers and horses of our Great Song Dynasty, can it be regarded as the land of the Han people?"

"The big guys don't move the ground today. Twenty years later, all the children are grown up now, and even the children are already there, and by that time all the old brothers and sisters are gone.

But what will happen to your children, your grandchildren? ”

"Now every family can live a good life, because there is enough land under the earth for you to cultivate. But when your children and grandchildren have grown up, and the population of the world has increased, the land under this world will still be as much land as before. ”

"Now your family has 30 acres of land, and when your two sons all grow up, one person will have 15 acres of land, and when your grandson grows up, you will say that the family is still two males, then your grandson will only have 7 acres and 5 acres of land......"

"The population is going to grow. As long as the world is peaceful, the officials are clear, and there are not so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the population will continue to increase and increase. ”

"At the beginning of the unification of the world in the Great Song Dynasty, there were less than 7 million households in the country, and there were probably less than 40 million people. But in the fourth year of Daguan, there were 20 million households in the country, with a population of no less than 110 million. ”

"But the world of the Great Song Dynasty is still so big. There is still so much land. ”

"You say, if this goes from 20 million to 40 million, from 110 million to 20,000,000 or more......"

"The people of the world can live in harmony and beauty, and your children and grandchildren can live comfortably?"

Zhao Gou explained the population crisis to them, and several old men, and even their family members who gathered around not far away, were all stunned.

It was Yue Chuan and the others who were stunned.

"When there are five acres of land per capita in the world, everyone can still live comfortably, but when everyone in the world has only one acre of land per capita, then no one can live comfortably."

"In a word, there are many people and there are few places!"

"If there are natural and man-made disasters and corrupt officials, will the people still be able to live?"

"When the time comes, the people's grievances will boil, and the emperor star will be shaking. The officials, the rich, and even the emperor's officials at that time all sat on the pile of medicine powder, and everyone trembled and did not dare to act rashly, and everyone was afraid that a spark would light the medicine powder, so that the rich and the rich, and the powerful, would all be finished together. ”

"This was the case with the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the chaotic times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the same was true with the Huangchao Uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as the footsteps of the imperial court do not go out of the Central Plains, then no dynasty can escape this circle."

"But how can the imperial court avoid this situation?"

"That is not to force the people under his rule not to eat enough and not to have children, but to use the sword in his hand to find more land for his people and future generations to strive for greater living space, which is the correct solution to the crisis."

"As for how to get more land and how to strive for greater living space, it is not only the responsibility of the imperial court, but also the people of the world, right?"

"Such a large territory is empty there, there is not a single Han person in sight for hundreds of miles, and the imperial court does not immigrate, when will the newly opened territory in the river be turned into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty?"

There is no need to go on. Zhao Gou's words were enough for the farmers in front of him to understand. However, he finally spared: "The imperial court understands that the people's homeland is difficult to leave, so it gives ten times the exchange." Then do the people also have to measure the court? ”

There was silence under the tree for a while, whether it was a few old men or their relatives next to them, all of them had sorrow on their faces.

They really don't want to be uprooted and relocated thousands of miles away.

But they touched their conscience, and they can't say that the court disregarded people's lives in vain, and didn't care about the lives of the people.

The tenfold preferential treatment really makes them speechless.

"Hey, I knew that today, I would have gone to join the army." Among the crowd, a young man in his twenties clenched his fists and said.

Because military dependents are not in the migration sequence.

And at this time, the unwilling young man is by no means the only one who screams.

"Nonsense. What's so good about being a soldier? The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Old man, I don't ask you to be rich and rich, as long as you are safe. ”

"Don't tell me all that big things. Your father and I have ears, and I have heard those great truths. The court is right, but you won't be allowed to go to me again—"

The father of the next generation saw that his son was angry, and he wanted to make a noise, followed by a burst of scolding.

"In the future, I will not go to the inspection department to join in the fun!"

The Inspection Division is like a police station in later generations, a subordinate agency of the county lieutenant (police department). In addition to arresting thieves and stabilizing and purging localities, another function is to govern the villagers.

The latter is the township militia that is trained in the spare time, with the protection of armor as a unit, but it is not compulsory.

The corners of Zhao Gou's mouth twitched when he heard these words, but what could he do? There are more people like this old man in the world. Does he really have to deal with anyone?
