First of all, the growth of the agricultural population will inevitably lead to the dispersion and waste of land resources under the "Land Equalization Law", and the backwardness of education will constrain the creativity and employment direction of the agricultural population. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to change this general trend, let alone realize industrial and commercial development everywhere and promote urbanization.

The premise of land intensive use is the dual-track development of agricultural technology and mechanical technology, and it is impossible to achieve mechanized ploughing and harvesting operations in a broad sense by relying on simple columbian carts.

Therefore, large-scale intensive agricultural production is not realistic, and the only reliable way is to make use of the existing technical conditions and concentrate manpower to increase the concentration of cantonment fields, and the battalion of the army is a siege force formed for this purpose.

As for mechanization, before the maturity of gasoline and diesel powered internal combustion engines, especially multi-cylinder large and electric motors, mechanized harvesting and sowing were basically dreams.

Without the predictable technological development trend of Bailiyan, the current history will inevitably return to the old road of historical ups and downs because of land distribution.

Finally, population control is a more feasible measure, at least for now, Lincheng Chemical's natural rubber products have the capacity to industrialize the production of simple rubber products, and condoms are expected to be produced in a few years, or even ten years, but it is not realistic to moderate population growth at the moment.

With the land area and agricultural production capacity of Xianguo, the reasonable population carrying capacity should be between 70 million and 90 million, and 130 million people in a hundred years will not be much, but now there are only more than 170,000 people, which is seriously on the small side, and this also includes the hundreds of thousands of disabled people brought about by the war, and the quality of the population is extremely inferior.

Xue Bolin's measures are both future-oriented and warnings for the present.

The land of the elite forces has been greatly compressed, and the existing population base determines that a large amount of land cannot be cultivated, and after a hundred years of his Bailiyan, the martyrs have established the country and system, if the descendants cannot be continued, and appropriate changes will be made, it will inevitably form the fuse that the cake does not become bigger, and the smaller and smaller until the final uneven distribution of spoils.

Therefore, the gradual change of land policy and the institutionalized practice must be regulated and guided.

He does not approve of the centralization of individual power under the monarchy, and the centralization of cabinet power also has drawbacks, and the large existence of the elite forces will inevitably make the cabinet system a lifelong system, and even a tool of the elite forces, which is not good.

Although the current lifetime cabinet is still very important to Bailiyan, it does not mean that it is beneficial for future generations, and it is clear that the successor cannot be like him.

Xue Bolin's exposition caused a lot of discussion on the scene, but very few could have the depth of his thoughts. Bai Liyan quietly concealed the surprise and appreciation in her eyes, and instead announced the second and third questions.

The second question is about the pros and cons of commercial monopolies, and the third is about economic liberalization and the planned economy.

With regard to commercial monopoly, at present, the princes of various countries and even the Xian State basically monopolized the vast majority of the huge profit production by the ruling class and the aristocracy, and except for the Xian State, there were very few private enterprises in the other princes' countries.

The three major families in Xianguo almost monopolized the production, manufacturing, sales, circulation, and even terminal sales of all advanced commodities, industrial products, and the vast majority of daily necessities. Therefore, it not only created an illusion for the three major families themselves, but also for other powerful people who coveted power and wealth.

But the reality is that the purpose of the state monopoly under the feudal society is to ensure basic economic stability, and the monopoly of the open economy of the Xian State is based on the release of Bailiyan technology, so this monopoly is an extreme case.

Monopoly does not promote competition, and because of monopoly and hinder technological development, since the existing technology model can achieve 100% market monopoly, producers will rarely take the initiative to seek technological progress and iterative development, at least in the current situation of unsound scientific understanding, monopoly means satisfaction and not enterprising.

When the technical knowledge predicted by Bailiyan is released, this monopoly becomes a stumbling block to technological development and social progress.

However, at present, the concentration of rights and economic resources brought about by monopoly is a favorable guarantee for giving full play to the national system and concentrating resources to do great things.

Bai Liyan asked this question to remind Xue that the salt lord had been boiling salt unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years and was satisfied with the status quo, which caused the development of Xianguo to stagnate for hundreds of years, and if it were not for the increase in population, the national strength would almost stagnate.

Only by constantly innovating technology and creating new profit growth points can we promote social development and increase national strength.

Of course, in the hundreds of years since the invention of the salt drying method, in addition to the equipment and treatment process, the method has also remained the same. Bai Liyan just wants to take this opportunity to remind Lu Hou not to indulge in the current situation because of monopoly.

The scope of the third question is mostly involved, the free economy and the planned economy are not well known to the outside world, and the Xue family and the Xuanting Marquis Mansion are involved in the operation of the money workshop, so they can be exposed to economic expressions and some theoretical content.

The mention of this matter is for the future industrial planning and technology decentralization, and to give Xue's a preventive shot.

First of all, the industrial and commercial development of Xianguo is undergoing profound and complex changes, with the iterative development of technology and the continuous emergence of a large number of new products, which makes the market supply and demand relationship fluctuate violently.

As far as the country is concerned, a large number of products do not benefit the majority of the people, and more goods are used for the sale of the capital counties, the enjoyment of the powerful and the export of foreign goods to earn cash, among which the improvement of the treatment of the town army, auxiliary soldiers, and forbidden army has consumed a large part, so that the civilian industrial products and daily necessities cannot meet the needs of the ordinary people who account for the majority of the population in the rest of the counties.

In fact, the Yongxing Hou Mansion is a state-owned private family enterprise, which almost monopolizes the production of all industrial products and new necessities of life, from needles and threads, brain pots and pans, to industrial equipment, all of which need to be handled by the Yongxing Hou Mansion and the Sinong Mansion.

In the early years, the problem was not big, and after the basic market was expanded, the simple production and regulation of the imperial court could no longer meet the rationality of the allocation of market resources, which required the decentralization of part of production to private capital.

The Wang family incident once again made Bai Liyan realize that the limitations brought about by the excessive concentration of the economic center of gravity in one place gradually emerged.

Under such circumstances, the irrelevant industries should be delegated to private capital, and the market's own supply and demand relationship will determine part of the allocation of resources, so as to reduce the pressure of central regulation and control, and at the same time stimulate local employment and economic development.

Secondly, private capital also includes crony capital, and it is necessary to screen it prudently to open up, so we have to face a problem, not only to avoid the existing aristocratic capital from taking this opportunity to expand and compete with the people for profit, but also to make the emerging private capital for my use, and it is safe and reliable, which has to use some red-top businessmen.

Private individuals or officials who can eat well on both the government and the people, and have capital, or go to the sea.

In this way, a number of nouveau riche interest groups have been created that roam between the government, businessmen, and the people, and if they are properly controlled, they will be a blessing, and if they are not properly controlled, they will be a curse.

There are not many people available in business under Bai Liyan, most of them are military, technical, scientific and technological and scholarly talents, and business talents are living in department stores, not to mention any pioneering spirit.

Therefore, they can only rely on the two families of Luhou and Xuanting, and the most reliable thing is to choose a shrewd and capable person as a seed among their direct descendants, develop it for five years and ten years, and then use them as the cornerstone, like bean sprouts, and develop their own contacts and next family.

However, in this case, individuals have to give up their existing comfortable lives and go to the four new counties to open up new economic space.

Today, all the talents who participate in the meeting, even if they can't get the beauty, Bailiyan's tone also gives them the opportunity to soar, so there is no loser today, but if you want to win your life, you must give up your current comfortable life, and it is also guaranteed.

Finally, the free economy and the planned economy are still economic tools in the final analysis, and too much liberalization and too much planning and control are not conducive to the healthy development of the market, emphasizing that no one can solve all problems.

Clarifying this point as soon as possible is conducive to promoting economic transformation and the participation of private capital in the operation in the future, reducing political resistance, and finally achieving the goal of squeezing those conservative elite groups with private capital.

The question lasted for three hours, no one argued about right or wrong, and the three questions raised by Bai Liyan were not absolutely right or wrong in nature, they were all organic wholes, and they couldn't be played without any conditions.

It is more to let some smart people among the children of the Xue family understand that what he Bailiyan wants to give them is not just a marriage, but a great achievement that can not only make a meritorious career, but also make a great career, even if it cannot be famous in history, it is worthy of being remembered for future generations.

At this time, in the East Flower Hall in the backyard, Lord Qiao and his mother, Princess Lan Yuan, were talking considerately, but they were also waiting a little anxiously:

"It's afternoon, why isn't it over yet?"

Lord Qiao frowned, his heart was beating in panic, and his mother, Princess Lan Yuan, said in surprise:

"When men get together, they like to talk endlessly about some major events in the world, and in the future, when they recruit their sons-in-law to come to the door, they will inevitably have to talk about the long and the short."

"Alas......"

Lord Qiao suddenly sighed, frowning, Princess Lan Yuan asked her:

"What's wrong with you, what's the unhappiness, don't always be bored in your heart, and come to my mother to listen."

"I can't say it, when I think that Caiyun may be married, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Princess Lan Yuan comforted:

"Silly girl, when my mother sent you out of the house, wasn't she so entangled. Now that you are also a mother, you will have to go out sooner or later after giving birth to a daughter, and it is all the meat that fell from your own body, who can be willing to give it to others.

So, it's only right to find a good in-law. When you met Yan Gongzi, you have taken the road of great luck in your life, you are gentle and considerate, and you also understand the heart of a woman. It's not like your father who looks at it half-heartedly and gets angry. ”

"Mother......" Lord Qiao squirmed, and then said: "Father is only your mother, Yanzi loves eight ladies, and her daughter only has one, where is it good." ”

"Alas...... Be content, there is no perfect good thing in the world. People treat people fairly, and you don't suffer every month, women, be content. Like your mother, now your back hurts, your hands and feet are cold, you were tossed every night by your bastard father in the early years, and now you are old, you regret not listening to what your grandmother said, and you lost yourself, this is all a lesson. ”

Princess Lan Yuan told her many years of "history of blood and tears", as if she had suffered a big loss.
