Chapter 546: Population
Like this incident, the pestle is not very responsible. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Chen thought that he was instructed by the Shangguan to commit something wrong. Gently let him go. The punishment is not as heavy as the county order for the principal.
But next time, if someone is so confused and hasty autopsy, a dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty can not be resolved, and if it is involved, the deception can be sentenced. Li Chen recruited these two types of people back to give them another class, lest he spend money and improve his status, but it didn't achieve the effect.
For the next few days, everyone was busy. The Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory are very busy, busy with various system changes. And the other prime ministers are also busy.
A storm, of course, is inevitable. The family surnamed Zhao was arrested. The prefectural order was also imprisoned. The direct males were beheaded, and the three tribes were all connected, but there was no beheading, only exile, and the area of exile was the south.
In addition to the completion of the relocation of the devastated areas of Longxi and Youzhou, the development of the Jiangnan region has also been put on the agenda. In later generations, the Jiangnan region was very prosperous, Suchang and Huguang, these two places, there are still many areas to be developed, and this year the budget will be prepared, and many embankments will be put on the agenda.
The seawall of the five dynasties of Wu Yueguo, as well as the Northern Song Dynasty, the drainage of the fields and swamps in the Jiangnan region will be carried out, and the Northern Song Dynasty, the development of Dongting Lake, after several years of planning, will be carried out gradually, which has caused a shortage of manpower.
That family is only a small part of the huge manpower gap, this year's Datang's financial income will exceed 45 million, a lot of money has to be spent, with the bank, now Datang does not have to live in a tight way, how much it has received this year, next year after deducting all kinds of expected expenses, will be spent. Inadequate? Find a bank to dispatch some.
To this end, Datang began to have an annual plan. Because there is no need to hold on to some money every year to plan for the future, Datang has the ability to make a financial budget and formulate a three-year development plan, which is expected to do something in the next few years.
This is very good, the emperor and his courtiers work together to make a plan for future development, and the formulation must be continued. Even if the prime minister leaves office, the new prime minister must unswervingly abide by it. Everything should be planned in advance, and if there is anything imperfect, wait until the implementation is complete, and then add to it.
For the country, there will be no situation where people go to tea and cool, and people go to politics and die, so that a policy can be implemented continuously. For Li Chen, let these officials have something to do, don't mess around all day long, just mix up one day at a time, and deal with the past every day.
People have to set goals, and so does the country. With a goal, we can spur them on and keep moving forward. With a goal, there is hope for talents, they can look to the future, and they don't know what to do every day. This is Li Chen's life experience.
After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he first had to feed himself every day and try to fill his belly, and then he was entangled by several small radish heads, and then later, the small radish heads would multiply by themselves, more and more.
When everything was on track, he had a higher and far-reaching goal, to change the country, reverse China, and constantly control the cycle of chaos, for which he ascended the throne.
ascended to the throne, and continued to work hard every day. It makes him full every day. It is completely different from him going to school and even going out of society to work.
At that time, he just wanted to play every day. Looking for a job is also to find something easy and not responsible. Just have some income every month that you can spend for yourself. I didn't think about the purpose of life at all, and where the future lies.
A country is actually a group of people coming together. People are social animals, they are born to be together, there is no way for people to live alone, Robinson is just a novel, besides, he also has Friday company, and parrots, otherwise he would have gone crazy a long time ago.
If a person wants a goal, a group of people wants a goal, and he wants to find a goal for the country. Otherwise, these ministers have the ambition to reform the country, and they have no ambition to either compete for power or profit, or make money, and ride on the heads of the people to make a fortune.
If you have a goal, let these people know that you are not okay, and you will do things for me. The country is not peaceful, and there are still many problems. Save them from fighting in the party regardless of that dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty was fine at first, and the old and new party struggles were originally for state affairs, although in the later period, they also deteriorated.
And the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty, in Li Chen's view, were all full of food and support. The two factions have nothing to do with the emperor as the opponent to practice their mouths and pens, to see who is more powerful and can bring down the other faction. Now I have a goal, so I can save him worry.
The topic returns to the development of Jiangnan, to develop Jiangnan, now there is a shortage of people, those Bohai laborers, really not adapted to the southern climate of the Tang Dynasty, not adapted to the water and soil, a lot of illness, although they do not take them seriously, but they can die less, it is better to die less.
Therefore, he transferred all these people to repair the railway, and built the railway with Chang'an as the starting point, first leading to Mobei and Longxi, and strengthening communication between these two places. There is also the Grand Canal in the north, which can be used for a while for the time being.
So, what about the South? There is not enough manpower, there are not so many refugees to use, and he can't hope for a natural disaster every day. By the way, for this reason, Li Chen conducted a large-scale household census.
The murderer of Judge Jiang, Liu Erma and a group of accomplices were all caught. All were sentenced to death. However, the problem of displaced people is still very serious in Datang today, so Li Chen asked the prime minister to draw up a spring breeze plan.
The spring breeze plan is to let the people feel like a spring breeze. A comprehensive census was carried out to include all displaced people in their household registration. Those whose household registration has disappeared due to the dispersal of the population will also be cancelled.
This is also to prepare for the armor protection law and Li Chen's other plans in the future. The size of the population is not only a symbol of national strength, but also a trouble. Li Chen must grasp how many people there are.
Grasp the composition of the population, look at the number of men, women and children, the number of adult men, the number of marriageable women, the number of people in the family, the number of young and old, whether they are married or not, these are all very important in the future society, but Datang is probably in a state of confusion now.
This problem must be solved, basically, if the armor protection law is to be implemented, it is necessary to know roughly how many males are in a feudal town, and adult males will have to serve. Not to mention accurate to single digits, at least hundreds of digits.
In this way, we can know how much a defense town can produce when necessary. If you can't grasp this, then what defense is there to talk about, if there is a rebellion, and you need to recruit urgently, you find that there are not many people available, then it is better not to get it in the first place, and save some money. So, the census is important.
From an outlaw who kills an official to a criminal, it seems that it has nothing to do with the census. Actually, it's not wrong to think so. Li Chen has wanted to do this for a long time, and it is just an excuse for the exiles.
In ancient society, the number of people was an important data, not to mention that more people absolutely defeated fewer people, at least it was also dominant. In order to increase the population, in China, the increase or decrease in the population is included in the local government evaluation.
Li Chen gave an example, how the ancient Greeks did it. Know that the temple has a holy woman. It was a Greek daughter. Specially entertaining guests from afar, if these female staff members are pregnant and give birth, the city-state will raise children.
It seems that many people are drooling and are eager to buy a plane ticket and fly to Greece right away. However, that was ancient times, and modern times are long gone.
Why did this happen in ancient times? It's about increasing the population. You say, to increase the population, why bother to cheapen outsiders, isn't it good to cheapen your own people?
In his view, in addition to increasing the population, there is also a factor for improving the quality of the population. Don't forget, in ancient times, it was not easy to travel far away, either rich or powerful.
Only when you have money can you go out conveniently. Strong enough to walk on your own. Even in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, but it was a good thing to get on the bus, train, or plane to reach the destination. Even in modern times, you can be tired when you go far away.
Therefore, if you can travel far, you will have a good body, and the difference is just how good. And in the era of cold weapons, the body is so good that it represents the combat power. A good mind represents intelligence. Although this is a bit biased, the rich man is too stupid to keep his money.
The same is true if it is inherited. At least it means that his ancestors are better, so the selection is always a reference, besides, don't say that humans are smarter than animals, many habits are similar to animals, rich people can always occupy more resources, beautiful women, or smart women, will gather around the rich.
Animals are stronger males and have more females, or are more likely to be favored by females. People are not far behind, rich people, powerful people, the probability of future generations is relatively good. And this is how the far-travelers are screened out.
The ancient Greeks, from one aspect, selected genes that might be better offspring. Just like the Japanese in the Tang and Song dynasties, they would come to China to borrow seeds, and if a woman borrowed a seed, his family would not be ashamed, but also proud, and even a powerful person would immediately come to propose marriage, and treat the borrowed child as their own child. Therefore, this behavior of ancient Greece is not strange at all.
Saying that it is far away, Li Chen has no way to decide, how to get such a thing as the quality of the population, the quality of the population of the Han people, it is definitely excellent, and he wants to master the composition of the population.
From the perspective of the armor protection law, a source of soldiers is needed. In terms of social stability, he needs to grasp the unemployment rate. This is a modern country, a very important indicator, the Tang people don't understand it yet, Li Chen preemptively mentioned it.
The industrial revolution is about to begin, Li Chen can see it. Gradually, the population will gather together. Urbanization is inevitable.
Among them, the role of railways in promoting is not small, without railways, there can be no industrialization. It is not enough to have a steam engine, which is not installed on the railway, but is used to carry people and goods, which is equal to zero.
With railways, there is a large amount of transportation, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of mass production. It was only with the railroad that people could live in the city, and that an industrial zone could be formed, which was about three kilometers away from people alone, or ten square kilometers around the factory. With the railway, it can be enlarged to an area of 1,000 square kilometers, which is just as large as the industrial area of Berlin and Luer.
And once a country is industrialized, the unemployment rate is inevitable. People who don't have a job, have no income, and are prone to taking risks. Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, which is the source of social instability.
It's not that the ancient court people didn't realize this problem, they just didn't care. It can't be said that they don't care, they care about the problem of displaced people. Although this is one and the same, when you can't survive in your hometown, you will be forced to migrate to other places and become homeless. Otherwise, who is willing to leave their homeland?
It's just that they can only think about how to solve the problem, and only think about how to restrict the displaced people, among them, Zhu Chongba is the most, he is very ideal, he is very willing to fix all the people on the land, he limits all the possibilities of career change, father to son, son to grandson, life and life are the same. This is the most stable, but in reality, it is simply not possible.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was not much that could be done about this problem. The problem of displaced people, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, has become more and more serious. With the collapse of the system of renting and transferring land, there are more and more displaced people. In the early days of Xuanzong's accession to the throne, wasn't there a person who checked the world's fugitives and legalized them on the spot, which could only solve the problem for a while.
Therefore, Li Chen proposed the unemployment rate and the census, and he wanted to put this problem on the table, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to it, knowing that the problem existed, but because he didn't have an intuitive understanding at all, he gently let it go. Only by accurately grasping the number of people and the employment rate can those in power have a clear understanding of the country. Don't think that if the population is large, the world will be peaceful, but if the unemployment rate is too high, once there is any natural or man-made disaster, it will immediately be a chaotic situation.
In addition, the census is also related to the composition of the population, for example, to understand the problem of population aging, to know how many young men and women of marriageable age are not married. If you don't get married, you won't have the next generation, and it's likely that the country will face a demographic gap.
Well, you said that you can have the next generation without getting married. Yes, that's another problem, single-parent families, single-parent families are relatively abnormal after all, if there are many single-parent families, we must review why society has this phenomenon, how to help single-parent families, or avoid this phenomenon.
As a traveler, he doesn't know much about it. But watching the news, I know a little bit about it. He put forward these problems that Datang may not face yet, but may encounter in the future, on the one hand, the problems need to be solved.
On the one hand, to the current prime ministers, as well as the future emperors and prime ministers. Raising vigilance, it is still the same sentence, either there are no natural and man-made disasters, there is no invasion by foreign enemies, and the financial revenue is quite good, or the world is peaceful.
Of course, it's too early to say that. Regardless of whether these prime ministers believe it or not, in addition to the unemployment rate, these prime ministers attach more importance to it, and what other marriageable age is unmarried, and the problem of aging, everyone has heard about it, and they should be on the sidelines.
One of the main questions now is how to conduct a census. Are you saying that it is not easy to have a census? Of course, it's not easy.
