Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Need for Population
Tang Long shouted: "Marshal, is there really an iron mine there?" ”
Joke, Anshan iron ore has been proved to be about 10 billion tons in later generations, ranking first in China. Although the grade of iron ore is low, it is widely distributed and has large reserves. As long as it is fully mined, it can fully meet the needs of our army for all kinds of steel for a hundred years.
Shi Jin said with great certainty: "Of course, there has been iron ore mining discipline since the Han Dynasty. And I'm looking for someone to survey that place, where there is a big iron mine, enough for us to use for a hundred years. All you have to do is catch the main vein and expand it! ”
Seeing that the marshal was so sure, Tang Long said, "Yes! The subordinates will definitely cooperate with other personnel to find the main ore vein, and then dig and train steel! ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Well, go ahead!" Remember to do your best. As long as you complete the handsome character, you will not be treated badly! ”
Tang Long said excitedly when he heard this: "Marshal Xie! Your subordinates will work hard to complete what you have told! ”
After Tang Long left, Shi Jin walked into his study and fell into deep thought.
Even in the 21st century, the steel industry is still labor-intensive.
Not to mention in the Northern Song Dynasty in the 11th century, if you want to expand the scale, you can only rely on the population to push it up.
However, the number of people required for this is not a small number, at least tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
But where do these people come from?
You must know that the entire Liaoyang Prefecture has a population of only 300,000, and this basically accounts for two-thirds of the population of Liaodong.
The population is too small, how can we expand the population?
Shi Jin picked up a small spoon and put some water in the inkstone, and then slowly grinded it on the inkstone with inkstone, thinking while grinding.
In order to expand anger, the first thing is to encourage childbearing, which can be emulated in the practice of the previous dynasties. "Husband, two pots of wine, and a dog; Giving birth to a girl, two pots of wine, two pigs. ”
Then it is necessary to recruit the people, and now the Jiangnan Song army is fighting with the Fang La army, the scorched earth is hundreds of miles, and the people are displaced, it is the time when Shi Jin recruits those who are poor.
In order to attract these displaced people, Shi Jin felt that he might as well set the conditions a little better!
Not to mention the rest of Liaodong, there is a lot of land, and it is completely possible to make conditions that people can't refuse.
For example, as long as those who come to Liaodong are all planned to be 10 acres of fertile land, they will be exempted from tax for two years, one-tenth of them will be levied for three years, and two-tenths will be levied after five years.
Shi Jin put down the ink stone and was about to pick up the brush to write down the policy, but suddenly stopped writing.
These policies are reactive and time-consuming. The most important thing is that whether it is to encourage fertility or recruit displaced people, it is only the population that will expand in the end, and increase the area of arable land.
This has little to do with the large number of workers required to open a mine. Encouraging childbearing, and waiting for the baby to grow up, is more than ten years later.
Except for a small number of displaced people, most of them will choose to cultivate land.
Neither of these methods can bring a lot of absenteeism to Shi Jin!
Shi Jin stopped his pen, his hand on his cheek, thinking.
What to do!
Shi Jin closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes.
That's it!
The primitive accumulation of capitalism is dead and full of blood and filth.
In order to speed up his own development, Shi Jin has made up his mind. The only thing that made him wonder was who to send to do such a thing.
Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, guys with a strong sense of justice, are definitely not good!
Li Chong, Wang Yin, these leading generals to do this kind of thing, it is completely overkill!
Shi Jin thought about it again and again, and found that his subordinates were suitable for doing this kind of thing, that is, Li Kui and Wang Ying, who were the most suitable for doing this kind of immoral thing.
Shi Jin shouted: "Come on, go and invite Li Kui and Wang Ying over!" ”
