Chapter 310: All people are superborn
After Han Hao's Tuntian Corps incorporated more than 200,000 family soldiers and more than 200,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, this Tuntian Corps has nearly 1.3 million people, and more than half of these 1.3 million people came to Jizhou after wheat was sown, most of them were sent to repair water conservancy, repair roads, dig coal mines, renovate fields and other basic matters, and wait until the wheat harvest is completed, they will be distributed to the land, and after they sow the millet seeds sent by the central army, they still need five months of wheat to make a living. These people can do one pound a day, and they also need more than 90 million pounds of wheat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this way, Jin Liang still has 450 million catties of wheat left in the warehouse, in addition to the wheat seeds in the tuntian fields next year, but also reserved for half a year's grain, there are still more than 100 million catties of wheat left, it stands to reason that Jin Liang should not go to other places to buy grain, but Jin Liang also asked Yan Mu, Zhen Jiang and other government-run grain merchants to go to the counties on the south bank of the Yellow River, Jiangnan counties, Liaodong, Goguryeo, and Dongying to buy grain under the escort of the Yellow River Sailor in Ganning and the Bohai Sea Division of Lu Dai. It is two or three times more expensive here in Bingzhou, and the shopkeepers sent by Yan Mu and Zhen Jiang reported that it was not cost-effective to buy it, but Jin Liang still said one word, buy.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil, and food was definitely the most important strategic item.
Now Jizhou and Bingzhou under the strong governance of Jin Liang, gradually restored the original weather, become a quiet fertile land in Dahan, other places such as Qingzhou, Yanzhou because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people have not been peaceful, naturally have no intention of farming, anyway, planting is also for those Yellow Turban thieves to spoil; The Luoyang Sili area was frequently looted by Dong Zhuoxi's Liang army, and the people could not live and work in peace and contentment; The western part of Yuzhou is a place where Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, Liu Chong and other forces often fight, and they can not be peaceful, many of the people in these places are displaced, many of them are left in the grass, whether they are homeless or rogue, food is always the most important thing for them, Jin Liang used the more than 100 million wheat to induce more homeless people, Liukou to Jizhou, and Zhou.
In Jin Liang's eyes, more important than food is population, the more people there are, the more fields are cultivated, the more grain is harvested, and the more people can be requisitioned, which is a virtuous circle.
Jin Liang wanted more population, but because of the rebellion of the family rebels in those states and the rebellion of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, not only the displaced people in other states and counties felt that the war in Jizhou and Bingzhou was constantly abandoned, but even the displaced people who were already in Jinliang were also abandoned, on the other hand, Liu Yu's half of Youzhou, Gongsun Du's Liaodong, Liu Biao's half of Yuzhou, Tao Qian's Xuzhou, Yuan Shao's Jingzhou, and Liu Yan's Yizhou gradually settled down from the war, and became a place where people in nearby war-torn areas rushed to help the old and the young to go to the place. couldn't help but feel that Jin Liang was not anxious.
Jin Liang issued several policies to encourage migrants to enter Jizhou and live and work in peace and contentment.
At the same time, Jin Liang also felt that the Tuntian Corps had more than one million people under its jurisdiction, and the scale was too large, and some of them could not be dropped, so he wanted to reduce the number of people under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Corps, so he stipulated that in the future, only captive soldiers, thieves, and other people who needed to undergo labor reform would be admitted to the Tuntian Corps.
The second point is that when the displaced people enter Jizhou and merge with the prefecture, they can directly go to the local government to register and make a register, and they can receive an equal share of 10 mu of land per capita, and they can receive free seeds and be exempted from taxes in the first year, and only from the second year will they start to collect a thin tax of one mu and two buckets, and the displaced people can enjoy subsidies ranging from 50 to 100 yuan per person every day when they participate in infrastructure construction.
Third, the displaced people can live free of charge in the houses built by the Central Army, the children of the displaced people can be admitted to the primary and secondary schools set up by the Central Army in the county and township pavilions of the Central Army free of charge, the displaced people can enjoy the medical services provided by the Central Army in the medical clinics set up by the Central Army in the counties, counties and township pavilions, and the displaced people can join the army and join the local county and county soldiers.
Jin Liang is particularly concerned about the third point, because he in later generations especially looked down on the imperial capital, the magic capital of a small group of local natives infinitely narrow-minded, in his opinion, to engage in polarization between local aborigines and immigrants is stupid, since they are all builders of a city, are all contributing to the country, why divide locals and outsiders, Jin Liang's Xiangyang court, absolutely can not set up such a wrong household registration system, nor can it sit idly by and watch the people discriminate against each other, It is necessary to forcefully convince the people to accept the concept that locals and outsiders are equal.
Because Liu Yu of Youzhou, Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Liu Biao of Yuzhou, Cao Cao of Pingyuan, Sun Jian of Yingchuan, Yuan Shao of Jingzhou, and Liu Yan of Yizhou all realized the importance of population and food, they all worked hard to recruit displaced people, and they all followed Jin Liang's policy of benefiting the people.
However, Jin Liang has decided to consider introducing a completely new policy from the perspective of the whole nation and the entire Han Dynasty.
Although the people of the Han Dynasty had not yet suffered from the nearly 100-year war of the Three Kingdoms, and the population was still 50 million, only 7 million were under Jin Liang's rule.
Seven million people may seem like a lot, but there are more wastelands and more minerals under Kim Liang, and a lot of labor is urgently needed.
In the eyes of people in this era, there are very few minerals in the area of Bingzhou and Jizhou, but in the eyes of Jin Liang, it can be described as gold everywhere.
Needless to say, there are a lot of rich coal mines there.
There are a large number of copper mines in the hinterland of Zhongtiao Mountain in Yuanqu, which is known as the largest underground copper mine in China. In those years, the financial system was the copper standard, and the importance of copper mines was greater than that of gold mines, and when Jin Liang was fully in control of the state, he would vigorously excavate the copper mines here and use the copper here to make copper coins, so that a large number of miners were needed to mine copper ore here.
The iron ore in Wenxi is a well-known large iron mine, which requires a lot of labor to mine ore and build weapons.
The Qian'an Handan Iron Mine in Jizhou and the Baiyun Obo Iron Mine in Wuyuan County, Jin Liang's hometown, are also large iron mines, which also require a large number of miners.
In this life, in order to consolidate the water and soil, Jin Liang only allowed 150 million mu to be reclaimed, but at present, the whole of Bingzhou and Jizhou reclaimed less than 80 million mu of fertile land, which is equivalent to 11 mu per person, and about 70 million mu of wasteland needs people to cultivate.
Because Jinliang's policy is very favorable, he can give credit in advance for grain, seeds, cattle, and farm tools, and the fields cultivated after five years belong to individuals, and the state only collects a meager endowment of one mu and two buckets, and the rest belongs to individuals.
After the wars of the princes south of the Yellow River broke out and famines occurred frequently. A large number of displaced people from other prefectures and counties will inevitably pour into Jizhou and Jizhou, and they will be able to solve the problem of insufficient labor for mining and farming for the time being.
Jin Liang was not a rat-eyed person who stared at a small place in front of him, he had thought about it. With the hundreds of thousands of central troops under his command laying a large territory in the place pointed by the euphorbia, the future territory may far exceed that of the Qin Emperor and the Han Wu period.
But. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiangnan of the world's granary, the land of fish and rice, was only developed in two percent of the fields, and seventy or eighty percent of the wasteland had not been reclaimed, let alone other places, and the harmonious country of the later generations could reclaim 1.8 billion acres of land, and the territory of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not inferior to that of the Later Qing Dynasty, but the cultivated land area was only more than 600 million mu, so inferred. Two-thirds of the arable land remains undeveloped.
Jin Liangliang was a little worried: With 50 million Han people and backward productive forces, how can we develop the land that was barely developed by the 1.3 billion people in later generations with advanced productive forces?
Jin Liang wanted to promote the technological revolution by opening a technical college in the university hall and opening a course on Gewu, but he knew very well in his heart that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the extremely backward technical conditions of "transportation basically depended on walking, and communication basically relied on roaring". I don't know if I can develop to the step of mechanization in my lifetime, and I can count on improving productivity, but I can't fully count on it, at least in the current ten years, it is impossible to improve productivity by leaps and bounds.
Jin Liang once thought about the big man in the world. The premise of sprinkling the seeds of the Han people to the whole world is that the seeds of the Han people must be more, otherwise there will not be so many men to win glory for the country to engage in so many blonde and blue-eyed fields, Jin Liang has more than 100 million catties of wheat and more than 100 million catties of grain purchased from all over the country, thought about it before and after, and finally resolutely launched another basic national policy that shakes people's hearts after "all people are soldiers" and "education for all", "all people are superborn"!
Jin Liang didn't feel embarrassed when he thought of some of the most erroneous policies of later generations, and whether there would be enough food to eat if there were 1.3 billion Chinese people in later generations would be overcrowded, and whether there would be not enough food to eat, in fact, this was a blatant lie. The erroneous theory of a certain bastard induced some big bureaucrats, so that those bureaucrats did not compare the specific conditions of foreign countries horizontally at all, and launched a certain basic national policy that has been miserable for 30 years!
In fact, whether in terms of population density or other resource allocation, this country is in the middle and lower class in more than 200 countries in the world, and many developed countries, especially Japan, Singapore and some Western European countries, are called overcrowded.
The empty nest of a big country, what a terrible fact, aging is coming in advance, the population is no longer a dividend, and the shortage of labor restricts the development of the entire nation, especially the Han nation, because the Han nation occupies 90 percent of the entire Chinese nation's population, and the annual newborn is the same as the young people who occupy 10 percent of the Chinese nation.
The reason why the Chinese nation has been raising its head in the forest of the world's nations for thousands of years is not because of the vast land and resources, but because of the large population, no matter how ferocious the northern nomads and the western barbarians are, they cannot stop the Chinese nation from being numerous and powerful, and they are all sinicized with the strong Han Confucian culture, but it is difficult to say after the harmonious years of later generations, and the Chinese nation, especially the Han nation, will go to what point, he has an extremely pessimistic mentality.
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if he engaged in that basic national policy that was extremely brainless, he would be a Han in vain!
For the sake of the Han nation's thousand-year-old plan, for the Han nation to be able to sprinkle the seeds of the Han Dynasty to the world, and to build a Greater China Co-prosperity Circle, it is necessary to achieve a population of more than 200 million in the Han nation during his lifetime!
The Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere needs so many people of the main ethnic groups to develop, otherwise the entire East Asian region will be included, and the Han nationality will only have 50 or 60 million people, which is about the same as the population of those foreign races, and the Han nation will not be able to strongly promote the Greater China Co-prosperity Sphere.
The Tang Dynasty of later generations defeated Goguryeo, only sent troops to station, and did not send people to open up, but the Goryeo Peninsula was resurrected by the Goryeo sticks who were struggling to breathe, and the Goryeo Peninsula, which was won by the blood of millions of Han men, returned to the hands of Goryeo sticks.
Looking at the early years of the Later Qing Dynasty, the reason why the Harmony State was able to control the Western Regions strongly was inseparable from General Wang's powerful Tuntian Corps.
This positive and negative example shows that the Han nation, as the main nation, must always maintain the greatest advantage of a large population, and only with a sufficient population can it immigrate to those newly occupied territories, with the Han people as the mainstay, the local natives as slaves, and then stationed with a strong Han army, it will definitely be able to firmly control the territory opened up in the hands of the Han Dynasty!
Jin Liang is a person who is prone to whims, which gives him a strong ability to execute, once he thinks of a good idea, he will immediately formulate it, arrange it, and execute it, so that his good idea can be realized immediately.
Every cabinet minister had the right to convene a meeting of ministers above the level of the imperial court, and Jin Liang took advantage of this privilege to summon all the ministers of the imperial court to the cabinet to discuss the matter. The ministers led by Eguanbo received Jin Liang's invitation and came to the cabinet on the side of the palace in turn.
Jin Liang is still dressed as the same general, he is not used to wearing such a crown and a belt, like a well-dressed beast.
Jin Liang was silent, and when everyone quieted down and looked at him with inquiring eyes, Jin Liang's originally relaxed expression gradually became serious and said: "I think everyone knows that my Han has lost a lot of people in the past ten years, but everyone doesn't know how much it has been lost.
Today, I will tell you that the largest population of the Han Dynasty was ten years ago, when the registered population was more than 58 million, and the newly estimated population was only more than 47 million, and in just ten years, the population was less than 10 million people, and the vitality of the Han Dynasty was greatly damaged! ”
The ministers remembered the piles of bones scattered on the roadside and the uninhabited villages they saw on the road from Luoyang to Xiangyang, and had to admit that the situation predicted by Jin Liang may still be relatively optimistic, and the real situation may be even more sad.
Jin Liang saw that all the ministers lowered their heads and looked sad, and also remembered what he had seen and heard after coming to this world, all of them were shocked, and he couldn't help but read "Artemisia Lixing": "The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines." ”
Jin Liang's poem is right on everyone's mind, and the sound of sighs and sighs overflows the cabinet.
Jin Liang coughed lightly a few times, waking everyone up from a lost state of mind, Jin Liang said seriously: "In the past ten years, Dahan has suffered frequent wars and plagues, and it is conceivable that he has lost so many people, but we don't need to lament what has happened, we should focus our time on more important things, how to make Dahan recover!" This is the fundamental intention of me to convene everyone here this time, everyone will come and discuss it, right? ”
Lu Zhi was receiving a joint consultation from Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing in the mansion, and he couldn't come, and the other ministers barely considered this kind of problem, and they were dumbfounded one by one, looking at each other, and the scene suddenly dimmed.
Shang Shu Ling Huang Wan arched his hand and said: "When Gong Xian Ting raised such an issue, he should have a decision in his heart, and he also asked Gong Xian Ting to make it clear how to restore the vitality of the Han Dynasty." ”
Jin Liang was confident, and said indiscriminately: "Let the Han recover his vitality, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, I have three strategies to tell you, I hope that the princes can fully support these three strategies!" ”
The princes of the imperial court arched their hands one after another: "If the three strategies of the virtuous prince can restore the vitality of the Han Dynasty, we will definitely do our best to support it!" ”
Jin Liang said: "The first strategy is to quickly end the war, achieve peace in the world, and avoid greater losses.
The second strategy is to open more hospitals and train more doctors to eliminate the plague, and I invited the famous doctors Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo to come to Xiangyang and establish a medical school to eliminate the plague as soon as possible. As for the third strategy, it is the easiest of the three, and everyone here can participate! ”
Speaking of this, Jin Liang sold a pass and looked at everyone with a smile and a word.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused by him, and there were many discussions, Jin Liang said with a smile: "The whole people are super motivated to give birth!" We must encourage the people of Dahan to have more children than before, not only verbally rewarded, but also given financial support! ”
National Super Incentive Fertility, referred to as National Super Birth!
National Super Incentive Fertility?! It was the first time for everyone to hear such a claim, and they were all stunned.
Jin Liangxin was secretly proud, my idea is unprecedented, it's wonderful!
However, his pride only lasted for a short time, and the knowledgeable Taishi Cai Yong smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, Xianting's national super incentive fertility policy is not fabricated out of thin air, but there is a precedent to support.
At the beginning of the Warring States period, the total population of all the six kingdoms was only about 10 million, but by the time Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the population of the whole country had doubled to about 20 million. At that time, the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in decline, the vassal states were vying for hegemony, there were many wars, and the deaths were huge, but the population did not decrease but increased, which was the result of the policy of encouraging more births in the vassal states at that time.
