Chapter 616: Beihai

The system of the world has changed, and Zhao Chen, as the emperor, not only controls the Government Council, but also controls the Congress and the courts.

He handed over most of the political affairs to Wang Shu to deal with, not only because of the needs of the new system, but also because the Congress and the courts needed to consume his huge energy!

This is an unprecedented top-down reform in China, and the fundamental system of the country is completely different from the previous three provinces and six ministries! Even if it is the previous three provinces and six ministries, it is also a step by step change in the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and the new system in front of it is too different from the three provinces and six ministries!

Whether it is the parliament or the court system, Zhao Chen needs to personally intervene and personally participate in the formulation of the system.

Three months after the launch of the new policy, there has been no shock in the world.

When the policy plan of the Government Council was promulgated, the whole world was shocked.

Since ancient times, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Zhao Chen, although there are official governments and imperial courts, the official government and the imperial court have things to deal with, and there is rarely anything to actively engage in a certain political matter, and even if there is, there is no detailed plan! There are even many emperors and rulers who believe that they will rule by doing nothing, and if they don't do anything, they will let the government be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.

And now, the Government Council has a plan and a goal to govern the world, and they have promulgated everything they will do within five years for the world to know!

Countless people in Yanjing City are talking about this matter, whether it is literati or low-level people, they all feel that this is the royal way to govern the world.

After the promulgation of this policy plan, the officials of the DPRK and China seem to be more diligent, and everyone knows that this goal must be achieved within five years, otherwise it will not be enough to face the world! In the entire Great Song Dynasty, the officials from top to bottom are more pragmatic!

In April of the tenth year of Xuanwu, under the instruction of Zhao Chen, Li Chuwen proposed a bill, and the National Assembly passed the "Encouragement of Childbirth Law"!

Since ancient times, China has paid attention to having many children and grandchildren, and all dynasties have regarded the number of people as an important criterion for measuring national strength.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Song Dynasty, the marriage age of the people in the world is 16 men and 14 women.

Now the Great Song Dynasty also takes 16 men and 14 women as the legal age of marriage, and if a couple has more than three children, there will be tax deductions! If there are more than five women in a couple, the tax can be cut in half! If a man reaches the age of 20 and a woman reaches the age of 18 and is not married, the whole family will have to collect more taxes.

In the eyes of later generations, such a system is incredible, and Zhao Chen himself feels a little incredible, but when the "Fertility Encouragement Law" bill was proposed, there was almost no resistance, and the vast majority of parliamentarians agreed! Even when this bill spread outside, the people of Yanjing City all recognized it.

This era is different from later generations, China's land area is limited, national resources are limited, China's population has reached the limit of what the country can bear, and now in this era, the land area is much larger than that of later generations, and many remote places lack national existence! In addition to the existing land area, Siberia in the north, archipelagos in the South China Sea, large territories in South Asia, and the North American continent, which has not yet been discovered, can be inhabited! As long as the country is strong, it can have more land! So now the country is not afraid of overpopulation, but of underpopulation!

The former monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, Wang Kai, Jin Can and others also attended the discussion of the National Assembly.

Jin Can's heart was full of emotion! After the Great Song Dynasty carried out institutional reforms, the efficiency of the State Council was far higher than in the past, and now the Great Song Dynasty has launched such a policy to encourage childbirth, but I am afraid that in ten or twenty years, the population of the Great Song Dynasty will increase dramatically, and the national strength will also increase dramatically, and the hope of Goryeo's restoration will be even more slim, and he himself has almost despaired of the restoration of Goryeo.

On April 20, Congress discussed the second bill, which is a national bill.

The Great Song Dynasty did not recognize the alien identity of the Koreans, Dali, and Annan, believing that they all belonged to the Han nationality, and their household registration must clearly indicate the identity of the Han people! Anyone who marries with the Han nationality will have all the children of the Han Chinese!

It was almost an extermination bill, and this time there was a lot of controversy in Congress.

Zhao Chen attended the National Assembly, and he did not interfere in the bill, but left it to the congressmen to discuss it.

It was not until the end of April that the bill was finally passed after many discussions and revisions.

It's just that if any bill wants to be officially promulgated, it still needs Zhao Chen's consent.

Zhao Chen signed his name on the bill, indicating that it could be promulgated by the world, and the National Assembly began to discuss the formal education bill, and many lawmakers even went to the Faculty of the Government Council to learn about the education policy in advance, and then discussed it in the National Assembly.

******

It's the end of April, and from north to south, spring is blooming everywhere in China!

Above the vast sea, dozens of warships are heading towards the northeast at this moment!

The waves were raging, and the waves splashed on the bow of the ship, and at this moment a middle-aged general was standing on the bow of the boat, and a young general followed behind him.

The middle-aged general looks very stable, and this young general gives people a sense of liveliness and escape.

"Uncle Wang, we've been walking on the sea for half a month, haven't we arrived at Dongying yet?" The young general said.

"We're not going to Dongying, we're going to the islands north of Dongying! The waves are too big these days, so our march speed is much slower! The middle-aged general said.

"There are islands in the north of Dongying?" The young general said strangely.

"Absolutely! If you go east from Sobin, I'm afraid the road will be much closer, but we are starting from Goryeo, so it seems to be a long way! The middle-aged general smiled.

This middle-aged general is none other than Wang Gui, and the young general next to him is Wu Gong, the son of Wu Jue.

"It's getting dark, let's go back and get some sleep, maybe we'll be there tomorrow morning!" Wang Guidao.

The fleet was still moving forward, and in the middle of the night, the ship suddenly stopped, and Wang Gui and Wu Gong hurriedly put on their clothes and came outside.

"Two generals, docked!" A lieutenant walked over and said.

"Oh? What is this place? Wang Guidao.

"It's not on the map." The lieutenant said.

"Immediately send the order down and let the soldiers prepare to land!" Wang Guidao.

A moment later, soldiers got off the boat, they stepped on the beach, and Wang Gui and Wu Gong had already come to the shore.

Someone was lighting a torch and they could see what appeared to be a meadow ahead.

"Explore the surrounding area within ten miles first, and then explore the whole island after dawn!" Wang Gui ordered.

Thousands of naval soldiers were heading around, and after half an hour they were back here, and there was nothing but woods and grass around.

Finally, the sky was slightly bright, and at this time Wang Gui found that the scenery in front of him was unusually beautiful, the grassland was boundless, and there seemed to be a hill in the distance.

"Wu Gong, let's each lead a thousand soldiers and horses forward! If you encounter an enemy, notify them immediately! Leave a thousand people here to guard the ship! Wang Guidao.

Wu Gong nodded.

The two of them headed due east and northeast respectively.

Wang Gui led a thousand soldiers and horses to walk forward for a whole morning, and did not find any enemies, this seems to be an unexplored island! In the afternoon, Wang Gui divided his 1,000 soldiers and horses into three parts and went to explore in three directions.

When the sun set, Wang Gui still didn't find any traces here!

The next morning, Wang Gui continued to lead his troops forward, and this time they found a herd of wild horses, and they caught more than a dozen wild horses, and then rode forward.

It wasn't until the afternoon of that day that they discovered a small number of human beings.

These people were very low, with a lot of hair on their bodies, and they were wearing animal skin clothes, and when they saw Wang Gui's army, they all showed extremely frightened expressions.

After five days on the island like this, Wang Gui and Wu Gong met again, both of them with excited expressions on their faces.

"It seems to be an uninhabited island, and there are only a handful of wild people here! I'm afraid that the total number of savages on the entire island is only tens of thousands! This island is so big, it can be said that it is another Goryeo! Wu Gong said excitedly.

"It's still much smaller than Goryeo, less than half the size of Goryeo, but it's also equivalent to the size of half of the Central Plains!" Wang Gui was also excited.

Little did they know that this was the famous Hokkaido, the twenty-largest island in the world, the same size as Ireland! It was now the 12th century, and it was not until the 16th century later that the Japanese came to Hokkaido and established their power here, and now it is still a wild land, and the wild people they see are actually Ezo people! The Ezo people are known for their low stature and large body hair, and their population is small.

"Insert the Yellow Dragon Flag on this land, and from now on this will be the territory of my Great Song Dynasty! Send someone to report to Your Majesty at once, and we will continue to lead the fleet to the north! Wang Gui laughed.
