Chapter 167: The Journey on the Train
"What are you laughing at? I heard that this train was also conceived? Princess Changping looked at Shen Xing and suddenly asked very seriously. Zhu Cihong hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes under the table. Shen Xing touched his face, and after regaining his composure, he nodded very seriously: "Why does Her Royal Highness the princess think that I can't think of this?" ”
"That's not it, Princess Ben is just curious about how you think of so many new and strange things, and many courses in the middle school, our teacher said that they are all adapted from your ideas, and how can you let a foreigner be our teacher? We are the dignified kingdom of China, how can they be barbarians! After Changping finished speaking, he fiddled with the apples on the table with disdain. Zhu Cihong's frightened little face turned pale at this time, and his breathing became obviously short.
Shen Xing was really a little unbearable looking at his miserable appearance. "Your Majesty Xiao Zhu, if you feel bored, go out for a walk and breathe fresh air, is Young Master Ben so terrible in your eyes? Eh......"
Zhu Cihong got up in fright, bowed and ran out quickly, and the little detective who was waiting with him also ran with a smoke and shouted to him to be careful. "My brother was frightened by Grandpa Cao, he always said that you are moody and tell us not to provoke and keep to peace, but this princess thinks that you will definitely not care about our Zhu family, he really lost the face of his father and the emperor, and he has no royal prestige at all."
"Changping, aren't you really afraid that I will kill you and cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" Shen Xing deliberately whispered that, Xiao Zhaoren was already trembling with fright, but Changping laughed. "Kill us, do you have a reason? Your governance of the Chinese Empire has always flaunted the rule of law, and everything is based on laws and regulations, and even Liu Tie's murder case did not dare to use your rights without authorization. Our Zhu family's royal family is the Chinese orthodoxy you appointed, although this princess still doesn't know your intentions for doing this, but your method is really very clever! Spending some money to raise us not only appeased the people of the former Ming Dynasty, but also fell into the reputation of treating the royal family well! Admire! ”
The more Shen Xing listened, the more he felt that this Princess Changping was very interesting, and he saw a little bit of Chongzhen's shadow in a trance, "By the way, you should also go to college this year, what are you studying!" "Of course, it's a matter of learning officials to govern the place, and the women of the Chinese Empire you mentioned can also be ** in the future!" My goal is to surpass you! ”
Shen Xing gave a thumbs up and then clapped a few more times, because Changping spoke so loudly just now that all the people in the carriage could hear it clearly, and they all settled on the noisy carriage as quiet as stagnant water all of a sudden. "You have all heard, Princess Changping will be a ** in the future, how can everyone here be regarded as half of the central head of the Chinese Empire, you need to cultivate more! Do you know that you have to take care of it in the future within the law? ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, but seeing Shen Xing's sincere expression, it didn't look like he was joking. "No, they can't help me at all, if they really have the ability, my father won't fall into that fate! Princess Ben wants to marry you after she finishes her studies and study with you,"
Shen Xing stared at her in surprise for a few moments, then waved his hand to express disagreement, and said a few digressions, and hastily ended the conversation with the former Ming princess. After a long time, Zhu Cihong may have adjusted his mentality, and he smiled with Shen Xing and sat back in his seat.
A few people sat in a daze for a long time without chatting again, the scene was quiet and terrible, in the middle, Liu Ru and the others were idle and bored, shuttling back and forth in the carriage, seeing that there were still vacant seats around Shen Xing, they sat down cheekily, and Shen Xing was bored and lazy, thinking that he was idle, so he ordered those officials to report the recent situation of the relevant countries one by one.
"**, Recently, heavy rains have fallen in some areas of Henan Province, and many low-lying areas of the Yellow River that have been renovated before may be in danger of bursting their banks, and local officials have asked the central government to recruit local militias to assist in flood fighting, and also hope to allocate 500,000 quintals of grain at the same time to be prepared!"
"In the five years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has been peaceful and the people's living standards have gradually improved, and after the national census a month ago, the number of registered households has reached more than 28,320,000, and in the past three years, there have been 21,560,08 new babies, and the total population of the Chinese Empire is 139,255 people, and counting the many unregistered populations, it is gradually estimated to be as much as 131 million."
After listening to this, Shen Xing nodded, according to his budget, plus the population of the newly occupied places in Annan and other places in Japan, it should also be more than 100 million, but he didn't expect the increase in the number of newborns to be so rapid, almost six or seven million a year. You know, this was in 1646! Sure enough, before he could speak, Wen Tiren spoke again.
"Our committee, through the overall calculation of the following departments, has come to the conclusion that at such an astonishing rate, the cumulative population of China may reach 200 million in no more than five years, and for this reason, most people are worried that it will be difficult to improve the people's housing and medical care, and the grain output will be even more difficult to meet! The number of elderly people over 60 is also gradually increasing, which should have been a happy event, but the whole country has adopted subsidies for the elderly......"
After Wen Tiren finished speaking, many officials nodded their heads one after another, saying that this problem is very serious, and if you don't take precautions, it will become a big disaster in the future. Shen Xing, a third-rate college graduate, usually plays tricks and picks up some of the methods that later generations have come up with, but it is really difficult for him to solve such a difficult actual population problem all of a sudden.
It can't be said that you only need to have one or two children in a planned production, this is too unrealistic, monogamy does not dare to implement it, now it is sixteen realities, medical technology is still in its infancy, if you come to such a sudden outbreak of a plague or something, it will be a catastrophe, so the population can only let him increase.
The Chinese Empire can only be truly invincible if its population rises to four or five billion, and as for grain production, it is always more difficult than difficult, and the vast land and sparsely populated cannot be solved. It's a big deal, from now on, let the people below engage in hybrid rice, and if it doesn't work for a year, he will come for ten years and a hundred years. If you can't do it, you can accelerate the construction of Australia, and can't you build a grain producing area in such a big place?
"From now on, 50 million taels of silver equivalent banknotes will be allocated from the state treasury to increase cement production, and 90 million taels will be added to the construction of high-rise residential areas for residents, and the city's housing renovation plan should be put on the agenda, and the dilapidated houses and old houses that occupy a large area should be renovated as much as possible? Let those architects from the West combine the traditional Chinese architecture with the design of high-rise buildings! ”
As soon as Shen Xing spoke, Zhao Minmin, who was sitting on the side, and some ** office secret magicians, quickly opened the notebook he carried with him and wrote it down. Several officials of the Ministry of Industry immediately began to talk to their subordinate officials in a whisper.
Shen Xing deliberately slowed down the speed of his explanation, and then pointed to the eldest brother-in-law Xu who was sitting not far away, and continued: "Brother-in-law, your financial department should increase investment in foreign trade, and the funds should be tilted more towards the agricultural sector. ”
Xu's brother-in-law was named like this, as the Minister of Finance, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and before Shen Xing finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask about the financial situation of the people below, and also quietly talked about the situation of the navy with Wu Xianlu, the chairman of the military committee.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Shen Xing walked in front of Zhuge Shengsheng and spoke again. "Father-in-law, how many doctors are there in your hospital bureau? And how many people are supported by medical schools in the country now! ”
Zhuge Shengsheng sighed, shook his head for a long time, took out a booklet from the small bag on the table, opened it slowly, and then pointed to Shen Xing and replied: "See for yourself, but there are more than 20,000 people, and now hospitals in various provinces and capitals are recruiting medical staff from us every day, although more than ten medical schools have been built across the country and recruited fifty or sixty thousand students, but medicine cannot tolerate sloppiness at all, and it is impossible to become a doctor in ten or eight years." We're also quite a headache! ”
"What about Western medicine? Didn't hundreds of doctors be recruited from England and other places? How are their medical skills? Seeing Zhuge still shaking his head when he was alive and dead, Shen Xing probably understood a little, thinking about it, Western medicine in this era can be said to be useless without the assistance of scientific and technological equipment.
"50,000 or 60,000 a year is too little, I will give a death order now, in the future, we must recruit 150,000 people every year, colleges and universities are not enough, they will be added, and students will be improved if they can't find them, especially in rural areas and other places, even if students go down to practice every year, they must be sent to medicine and health knowledge without stopping."
Zhuge Shengsheng stood up and patted Shen Xing's shoulder, almost crying with excitement, "Cai'er is not wrong, with your decision now, the people will have hope in the future!" ”
After the arrangement, Shen Xing was also greatly relieved, and after sitting back in his seat, Li Xiangjun and the others hurriedly stepped forward to help him massage him, Changping looked at her thoughtfully, and then laughed very meaningfully.
The journey of three days and two nights ended quickly, and the train ran very smoothly, except for a small pause due to heavy rain on the way, and there were no more breakdowns. After the group arrived in Hangzhou, they were welcomed by the people of Hangzhou, and after a few days of simple stay, except for Shen Xing's family, all the other officials returned by train.
It successfully verifies the ability of the train, and it is a rare family reunion Shen Xing naturally wants to hold such an opportunity to enhance family feelings, and the West Lake view of the ancient civilization in Hangzhou City is of course the best choice. The red lady held Shen Xing's arm and was followed by more than 20 beauties of all sizes, which was originally a rare scenery on the edge of the West Lake.
The local people and people from all walks of life rushed to witness this young ** who had already made them thunderous, although they were blocked by the guards, but there were still quite a few representatives from all walks of life who were let in and accompanied by Shen Xing.
"Shen**, our tea in Hangzhou is a national civilization, but the tea on the edge of the West Lake is no one cares, how about you come to a rare trip today to taste?"
Nobody cares, is this a joke? West Lake Longjing is famous all over the world!
