In fact, Zhang Yi has long thought about this will, and he has been using the hospital to publicize the harm of early marriage and early childbearing all these years, but the effect has been very small. However, it can be regarded as a vaccination for the people. After Zhang Yi's will was issued, although many people were surprised, not many people stood up to say it.

This is the effect of Zhang Yi's previous policies, which has made people have a kind of blind obedience to him. It's just that many people don't understand that if it's the time to recuperate, shouldn't it be better to have a large population? But how do you know that increasing the population should not come at the cost of early marriage and early childbearing. Early marriage and early childbearing seriously affect the average life expectancy of women, and they will also give birth to children who are not in good health, and a large proportion of these children will die young.

For the sake of child survival and the average age of the population, Zhang Yi believes that changes must be made. Although it cannot be changed as later and the age of marriage leave is raised to more than 20, the age of 16 and 18 must be well controlled. In addition, Zhang Yi asked the hospital to publicize the dangers of early marriage and early childbearing, so as to reduce the difficulty of implementing the law.

In addition, a women's workshop was established to promote the latest looms so that women could afford to do so. The low social status of women is completely determined by their economic ability, and those famous women in history, except for the martyrs, are basically career-oriented women, such as Wu Zetian, and the vast majority of men are not as big as her career.

In the past five years, China has continued to develop in various places, and the four counties in the north have also become rich because of the construction of bridges, roads and canals, and infrastructure has always been an important part of national development.

It's just that the ancient emperors didn't understand the principles of economics, and only knew how to blindly save money and increase labor, so they ended up complaining and forcing the people to rebel.

However, Zhang Yi's construction of bridges, roads, and canals in various places is completely welcomed, although people do not know why they want to get rich first to build roads, but the economic benefits brought by road construction are real and visible.

Every time I recruit a job, it's overcrowded, and as long as I don't have anything to do, I go and sign up. Not to mention food, the 1,000 yuan alone is also a month higher than the monthly income of many people.

Zhang Yi quickly passed the infrastructure project to gather people's hearts and make the people grateful to Dade. All this money was taken out of Zhang Yi's private small treasury, and there was 100 million yuan last year, and Zhang Yi's small treasury was about to be emptied.

The success of the infrastructure project has made many scholars feel threatened, and the existence of the scholars is actually dependent on the people everywhere. There are very few soldiers in a place, and there are only a few at most in a county.

Because the gentry also need industry and resources, whether it is rights resources, land resources or population resources. The resources of each county are only a small amount, and if there are only a few families, one more will reduce the share of others.

This reason is also a major reason for the Chinese rural plot. The scholars actually have a good reputation in the local area, and even the most hateful scholars will show their hypocrisy. Because their lives are inseparable from the support of the locals, their land needs to be raced, they need to buy land from the locals, and they need to be compared by the locals to maintain their status.

They are kind, although the locals will envy their family's wealth and self-cultivation, but they will not be too jealous, but will be very admired, as long as they grasp this degree, from time to time to give a little favor, you can gather the local people together.

This has created a very united phenomenon, but this unity is centered on the nobles. The people of the Shi clan would serve as the three elders to help the locals communicate with the government, and also cut off the contact between the local people and the government, but the court had to give benefits to the Shi clan in exchange for the support of the Shi clan.

The infrastructure work required a large number of manpower, so the labor force divided by the nobles was recruited, so that many nobles had to cultivate the land by themselves. But even if you don't have enough hands-on manpower, and you don't want the land to be wasted, then increase the bargaining chips for hiring people, at least about the same as Zhang Yi, and then use the past to talk about one or two.

Zhang Yi's move obviously touched the interests of the scholars, but many of the scholars did not dare to complain at all when they saw the elite soldiers guarding the counties.

Zhang Yi stationed troops in various counties to prevent this from happening, and whenever there was a small rebellion, he immediately carried out strangulation. The guards in each county are all Qu Chang Dubo, these people are all middle and low-level officers, and they are very eager to make meritorious contributions, and they wish that someone would take the initiative to jump out and stir up trouble!

These defenders lived on the edge of the city, but they practiced every day, running on or under the walls early in the morning to show their presence. From time to time, they will be trained in different places in the county, showing their muscles to soldiers from all over the country.

In this way, ordinary people will feel safe knowing that someone is protecting them. And those who have evil intentions will be afraid of revealing clues that will arouse suspicion.

In the sixth year of China, Zhang Yi originally planned to carry out the second Northern Expedition this year. However, because the infrastructure work was carried out so well in the first two years and too much money and food was consumed, Zhang Yi postponed the Second Northern Expedition.

After the postponement of the Northern Expedition, it would be good to continue to complete the infrastructure this year, because last year the roads in the northern states were almost repaired, and the canal was almost up to the river.

However, it is a big project to connect with the river. Because the river has become an above-ground river at this time, if it is not done well, the river will definitely be flooded.

Zhang Yi is very concerned about this matter, the flooding of the river is not a joke, when the time comes, it will be a thousand miles of Zeguo, and it is impossible to develop it again without ten or eight years. The last time the river flooded was in the third year of Xinmang, and that time because no one took care of it, it flooded for 60 years.

Zhang Yi continued to conduct simulation tests, first using a model, and then choosing a remote river for field testing, but the results of the tests were not too ideal.

Once again, the river has been called a turbid river, and it is clear that there is serious soil erosion. The Eastern Han Dynasty moved many nomads in Hebei and other places, and returned farmland to grassland, so that the river water was much clearer.

Zhang Yi also gradually returned farmland to grassland around the Yellow River, and gradually replaced farmland near the river with other places. His next step was to build an embankment in addition to the dam, so that the river could become an underground river again. The new embankment was dug in situ, and the dug ditch was used as a new channel for the river.

This is another huge project, which is much more difficult than digging a canal, because you must know that the river is thousands of miles downstream, and it is not a year or two to dig it a little bit. And it has to be stronger than the original dike, and it can't be done overnight.
