Encourage childbearing ......

This proposal seems a bit absurd to many people, other countries in the world can encourage childbearing, because their population is not large, but China, since ancient times, China is a large country with a large population, no matter what era, China's population is ranked among the top in the world.

Even though the Tang Dynasty has a population of just over 40 million, less than one-thirtieth of the entire 5,000-year history of China, the population of China is still the largest in the world.

But the crown prince Li Chengguang still mentioned this suggestion, or rather, Li Chengguang was instructed by Li Yuanji to make this suggestion.

As for the reason, this is now well known.

Li Yuanji has rarely put forward any new suggestions in terms of people's livelihood, and these suggestions have all been transferred to Li Chengguang, which is laying the foundation for Li Chengguang, and everyone understands it.

Again, no one can find a reason to refute it.

The matter is still done, but it is proposed by the emperor and changed to the prince, as long as the matter is not pulled down, whoever proposes it between the father and son is a family affair, and no one can control it.

But the problem is that there are so many people in Datang now, and the average annual net increase will be about one million, which is already very high.

Because according to this increase, in the next ten years, the population of Datang will exceed 50 million, more precisely, it will reach the number of about 55 million.

This population is already quite large, and many places are already overcrowded, so why can't the uniform field system be carried out?

Or is the court not going to go any further? Because if this situation continues, at most a few decades, there will be no land to be divided into different places.

Everyone was aware of this problem, so they all agreed to abolish the equalization system, but only to cancel it, and no new plan was introduced, and in the long run, new problems will be created.

More than 40 million people are indeed a lot, but there is also a time to divide it.

According to Li Yuanji's plan, the population of more than 40 million is far from enough, and it is too much worse.

Population is always the number one factor in a country's strength, no matter what time it is.

As for the reason, do you need to think about it?

The British dynasty on which the sun never sets, and the world policeman of the US imperialism, seem to be very bullish, but in the end, they have to hand over this position.

However, the ancestors of China have long told the world what the six most colonial methods are.

Turning over the evolution of the historical map, the answer is clear at a glance, immigration, a large number of immigrants, only immigration, is the fundamental means to control a party's water and soil for a long time.

A large number of immigrants have passed, and decades later, hundreds of years later, the people of this land will naturally have a sense of belonging, and will naturally see it as one, and will not engage in any division or anything like that.

So, this requires a large population.

This is the case in Jeju, where Lee Won-gil emigrated 100,000 people, a number that is almost the same as the number of Jeju natives.

Through the protection of policies and the protection of the army, immigrants can quickly annex the indigenous people and squeeze the living space of the indigenous people.

Of course, the methods of the Chinese people are naturally clever in this regard, and the so-called annexation is not a direct killing, but a solution through marriage.

The Tang people are superior to others on Jeju Island, and there are many bachelors who have immigrated in the past, marrying a local wife, so that the natives have one less woman and one less chance to reproduce, isn't this an invisible annexation?

Therefore, Datang needs a large population to support this strategy, although it is difficult to achieve results in the short term, but after a few hundred years, the results will be obvious.

"The sons believe that the court should give a heavy reward, if the couple has more than four children, each child will be rewarded with an additional ten acres, and those who immigrate, each child will be rewarded with an additional ten acres, and those who immigrate to the new land will be given eighty acres each, and the newborn population will be divided into sixty acres each, and if three or more children are born, each child will be rewarded with an additional thirty acres." Lee Seung-kwang continued.

The one used here is each child, not each child, don't look at the difference of only one word, but in fact the gap is huge.

The son represents the son, is the labor force, and the fetus represents both men and women, even if they are born, once this policy is introduced, it will inevitably promote the birth of a large number of newborns.

Although I can't see much effect in the short term, after waiting for one or two decades, this effect will come out completely.

The demographic dividend will never be said to be visible immediately, which requires a long wait.

All in all, whether to go or not to go, each has its own benefits, staying, there are not so many rewards, each person is thirty acres, and at most ten acres of fertility will be rewarded.

But the immigrants directly doubled, 60 acres and 50 acres respectively, and those who were willing to go to the new land were even more abundant, 80 acres and 60 acres, nearly three times as many as those who remained.

Although there are risks, but the benefits are also very rich, and there is not much danger in immigration, Zhenbei back then, isn't that a good example?

Although the place is a little remote, but now to look at it, in terms of the living standards of the peasants, the conditions in the north of the town are obviously higher than here, because there is a lot of land and pastures.

I don't know the situation in Jeju for the time being, after all, no one can see it across the sea, but I heard that it is not bad.

"Your Majesty, immigration is not a trivial matter, and the things involved are even more diverse, and the minister thinks it is better to think in the long run." Wei Zheng stood up and persuaded.

Li Chengguang has talked about this, everyone is too stupid if they don't understand the meaning, besides, at the beginning of the fight, Wei Zheng was not interested in this proposal, although there was no strong opposition, but there was no support for it.

If everything is in this way, there is really no need to worry about the land problem, there are still many lands in Datang that are in the stage of no one cultivating, and it would be good to immigrate to the past.

"Yes, Your Majesty, immigrants must always provide temporary shelter for the people, right? If they are allowed to carry materials, the speed and difficulty of immigration will inevitably be affected, but if they are not allowed, all living materials will be taken care of by the imperial court, and the pressure is indeed quite great. ”

Next, there are those who support and those who oppose it, each with its own reasons, and it all seems to be very reasonable, at least Li Yuanji can't find any excuse to refute it for a while.

Well, it's just for the reason they say it.

Li Yuanji naturally didn't speak, but set his eyes on Li Chengguang's body.

Although he was only twelve years old, if he wanted to wear the crown, he had to bear the weight of it, and he had been preparing for several years, and it would be too disappointing if he could not solve such a problem.

Li Chengguang naturally knew what Li Yuanji meant, although Li Chengguang was not very old at this time, but after a few years of baptism, his heart has grown a lot, and there are so many teachers and companions around him, and the problems they may encounter have long been predicted.

Li Chengguang didn't have any timidity, and stood up directly and said: "Lonely and ask Zhuqing, which is better between yesterday and today's Tang Dynasty?" ”

Ma Zhou squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a smile leaked out.

Wei Zheng gasped and couldn't help but look at Ma Zhou.

The two of them are both subordinates of the East Palace, and they obviously didn't give Li Chengguang any answer to this question, and even have always been lukewarm, Li Jing obviously won't get involved in this regard, except for the tasks assigned to him by Li Yuanji, Li Jing has almost been sticking to the military academy all these years, and even, in order not to go back and forth, Li Jing even asked Li Yuanji for a piece of land, and built a new mansion directly next to the military academy, and the family moved there, only occasionally going back to Chang'an, debriefing, and teaching Li Chengguang by the way.

I didn't say it, Li Jing couldn't do it, plus Ma Zhou's reaction just now, Wei Zheng had the answer in his heart.

I have to say that this question is very tricky.

On the surface, I'm just asking which is better, the previous Datang or the current Datang?

But in fact, Li Chengguang asked again, do you want to keep the current state of Datang, so you are complacent? Or go out and make Datang better.

Radicals and conservatives will certainly have two completely different views, but no matter how you look at it, the original intention of this proposal is good and beneficial to the people, but the court needs to spend a lot of energy and materials.

Moreover, there is also a meaning in this, that is, to ask these ministers, do you think the current territory of Datang is enough? What is the use of those territories that are empty and uncultivated?

"Yesterday and today, each has its own good, but the minister thinks that the prince's proposal is feasible, but in the formulation of the plan, it needs to be relatively conservative." Fang Xuanling stood up and said with the mud.

"What does Xuan Ling think?" Li Yuanji asked with interest, there was really no communication in private, but Fang Xuanling did know about it, and he was involved, and he was supportive.

"Under the avoidance, the minister has no opinion on anything else, except for some ideas about immigration." Fang Xuanling replied: "In the past, immigrants were mostly based on clans, but the number of clans was huge and the people were mixed, even if there was nothing disagreeable on the surface, no one knew what they thought in their hearts. Therefore, the minister thinks that it is better to use the husband and wife as the basic unit to immigrate, the same village, the same township, or the same county to one place, and establish a new village, township, and county, which can be regarded as taking care of each other. ”

There are many people, that's for sure, two people will have different ideas, let alone a clan with dozens or hundreds of people?

Some people don't want to leave, and some people want to go out and break through, but because of the clan, they are embarrassed to go by themselves, and the court gives a reason, which will be conducive to the implementation of the immigration policy.

Then again, there are so many people in a clan, and there is no contradiction with harmony, how many are there?

Who doesn't have a trivial contradiction? If you have the opportunity to fly solo, why not fly it? Besides, that's basically all there is to stay.

"Let's count first......" Li Yuanji is not as optimistic as others, mainly because the last immigration brought him a bad experience, so this time he is a little bottomless.
