Chapter 219: The Reproduction of the Empire and the Wandering Population

"The problem at this stage is very prominent, that is, the growth of the population is seriously lagging behind the growth of the economy!"

"I'm not surprised at all, even though we're both only children, it doesn't mean I don't know the relationship between population growth and economic growth."

"It's just a joke that China's population growth can't keep up with economic growth? Am I having auditory hallucinations? Gao Jing rarely listened to a key word.

"That's it, you heard it right, in the past ten years of the empire, the compound annual growth rate of population is only 30‰, which is far lower than our economic growth. Last year's statistics show that our GNP has grown by more than 20% in the last decade. The southwest region, which has the lowest starting point, has a compound annual growth rate of 45%. The growth rate of the population is only 40 per thousand, and although the natural growth rate of the population has reached the limit, it is still far from enough to absorb the rapidly increasing industrial capacity. ”

"30-40‰, I heard you right! So exaggerated? Reducing half of the men and the old and the young, wouldn't the fertility rate of working-age women reach more than 10 percent? Although it is customary in China for a couple to have seven or eight children, can this outbreak continue? ”

"Here I would like to thank three people first, the first is Comrade Wu Qi, who has contributed the most to the human resources of our empire, his contribution to the modern medical system of the empire is simply comparable to that of the gods, he and his students have eliminated all the witch doctors and strange murderous medical traditions of the old era, established a basic modern medical education system and an experimental medical science system, and reduced the maternal mortality rate in East Asia from 690 to 200 per 100,000 births, especially in the empire itself. Isn't that a miracle? Not only has the birth rate been ensured, but the infant mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and the mortality rate of children under the age of 5 has been reduced from 102 per thousand in the past to 23 per thousand. The life expectancy of the people has also increased from 35 to 60 years, and the number of deaths delayed by decades, directly and indirectly through the efforts of him and his team, is simply incalculable. He has made the greatest contribution to the world in the past 20 years, and I am afraid that no one here can surpass him!

The second is Comrade Sun Chang, who is ranked after solving the problem of birth, old age, sickness and death. When it comes to the causes of death caused by abnormal aging, the first thing that comes to mind for modern people may be traffic accidents, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer, but ancient people definitely think of famine caused by wars and natural disasters. It was the agricultural group he led that eradicated this tragedy caused by food supply and distribution problems. The exploits of any emperor in history are not worth mentioning in his book of merits, and in the old saying he 'solved the problem of feeding 20% of the world's population'. In fact, this sentence is not enough to sum up all the credit. The pursuit of food diversity and deliciousness has fully demonstrated Lao Sun's magical powers, and most of the citizens of the empire can not only eat enough, but also eat animal proteins such as meat, eggs, milk, fish, shrimp and crabs every once in a while. Large quantities of oils and meats, such as soybean oil and vegetable oil, were the only weapons to keep the famine away. If medical care is the external cause of population growth, agriculture is the internal cause, and only those who are well fed and well-fed can maintain a strong body to fight disease and live to old age. in order to give birth to healthy offspring. Treating the symptoms and treating the root cause is the king.

The third is Comrade Zhao Shouzhong, the god of propaganda who allows all our policies to benefit the people to go smoothly to the grassroots level. The bombardment of cheap propaganda he advocated lasted for decades. The rapid and cheap replication and diffusion of our intellectual resources to the brains of the formulation class we want to transmit, and the demographic dividend generated and the human capital appreciation superimposed on intellectual information resources are the most important prerequisites for us to quickly realize a series of plans. Not enough people know that only by following us can we make a fortune, and we can only be anxious about the plan even if we are guarding the gold mountain. Comrade Zhao Shouzhong absorbed the essence of pyramid schemes, condensed simple information into slogans and slogans, went deep into the grassroots to repeatedly propagate them, and played a mainstay role in popularizing all kinds of information we need. Li Ji looked at these three good buddies with a calm and breezy expression, and smiled.

"There is a problem. The results are also obvious. The problem of population cannot be solved urgently, just as it is unrealistic to catch up with the United States in three or five years. It's not a big crisis that our productivity is increasing too fast to match the population that has just entered the transition period, but it's a big deal that our plan is to slow down the pace of the virtual economy in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which is the most expansive. We, I mean fifteen of us have really become freaks, and my sons all look as old as me. Every day when we go out, we are like brothers, and reverse growth is a problem for us. Lao Wu gave us a comprehensive physical examination, and our actual age is now over 50 years old, but it looks no different from a 30-year-old person, and the organ activity and bone age are about 30 years old. has become a demon in the eyes of relatives and friends. Zhao Shouzhong complained.

Indeed, I deeply sympathize with Lao Li's words, all of them are about to run to 50, and they are all maintained as if they are less than 30 years old, and seeing new students and old students every year will cause problems. Not acquaintances can't believe that we are 50 years old. Except for Li Ji, each of us has our own family head, at least one wife. Most of them have dozens of concubines for one wife, the least number of children has 3, and the most have one in line," Bai Jia glanced at Liu Xin and sighed.

"We are not a demon yet, Li Ji is a demon, I analyzed it with the most advanced inspection equipment, we have only passed through the tunnel once, and Li Ji has passed twice, our life span has been extended by 1 time, we can reach about 180 years old, and the aging rate is 2 times slower than ordinary people, the reason is that our stem cell gene telomeres have been doubled, and Li Ji is twice as long as ours, that is to say, he can live 360 years old. It is 4 times the life expectancy of ordinary people. So our children can't inherit our lifespan because they haven't gone through the tunnel and experienced the influence of that special space, so this strange situation has arisen. Although Li Ji is 50 years old, his biological age is still 25 years old, and although we are also about 50 years old, we are in our early 30s. And this kind of adventure brings us not only in terms of longevity, but also in the energy and efficiency that we have many times more than ordinary people. The reason why Li Ji has not married so far is not necessarily because he has no time or has not seen it, but because the metabolism caused by crossing is twice as slow as ours, so Gujing is not like stopping water. Liu Xin is a grandfather, and Li Ji is still a single. It's counterintuitive, but it makes sense. Wu Qi took out the report and distributed it to the traversers.

"I'll go, that's not going to be a monster. At 360 years old, turtles may not live to this age. The boss is the boss, I knew that I would wear it once more to double my life, and if I wear it dozens of times a day, wouldn't it be the same as the sun and the moon with the heaven and earth? Yang Wenhui can hold an egg in his mouth.

"Life expectancy is the same as money, and there are 300 years old to live, like billionaire account numbers, which have no practical meaning. Even if I live a little longer, it won't affect my thinking too much. What is the difference in mentality between a person in his 20s and an immortal? Aren't they all living in the moment! Li Ki's indifferent expression sparked a fight. Many of the traversers immediately taunted like detonators.

"Nonsense. If you live to be more than 300 years old, half of the world's wealth will go to you, and it is not a problem that all monarchs are your students and descendants. Any organization that has been in business for a hundred years is not easy to mess with, let alone an organization that has been in operation for 300 years? Bai Jia complained.

Half an hour later, the meeting returned to normal.

"We're already famous! Not to mention whether it is a perfect old man, at least it is considered seven or eight, how about going out on a trip around the world, it is not a waste of this life. The journey of the sea of stars always has to be completed! Gao Jing remembered the proposal for a group trip.

"Yes, they have become old and immortal monsters, and it won't take much time to play, and now we don't need to worry about everything, and the imperial affairs on the right track are watched by those students and apprentices, so you can rest assured that you can go and have a good time." Liu Jiao was also eager to try to bewitch the other traversers.

"Then a walk-and-go trip?" Li Ji asked tentatively.

"It's time to relax, last year just to participate in the funeral of a few old monster-level guys who became year-old friends in the former Song Dynasty, I poked the basket, Su Song's great-grandson didn't recognize me, and even said that I was disrespectful, and the 30-year-old junior was rude to the hundred-year-old celestial man (Li Ji's praise to Su Song, just like Tagore's name to Gandhi Mahatma) was rude, and almost drove me out of the mourning hall." Zhao Shouzhong sighed.

"Isn't his grandson your student? How could such a big oolong come out? Sun Chang asked.

"That bastard actually cried and fainted before I went in, and I also stopped letting those old friends who recognized me speak out to remind the filial sons and grandsons of the old Su family. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than ten years, his wife didn't recognize me, the elder who sat at her wedding banquet. ”

"Nonsense, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you also had a big beard when you attended the wedding, and no one can recognize you if you shaved your bare chin this year! You're still an elder! You are not a few years older than Su Song's grandson, and now you look younger than your great-grandson, maybe she still thinks you are your grandson. Ha ha! Qian Jin laughed when he remembered the outfit when he went to the show together.

"Let's not talk about these embarrassments, let's discuss the route of the round-the-world journey from where it starts and where it ends! While your physical strength and energy are not declining, go to a deserted place to experience the tranquility. Bai Jia proposed. (To be continued......)
