Chapter 787: Mobilization
In the future, the land to be conquered is at least tens of millions of square kilometers, and a large population is needed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are examples that show that population is the basis of a country's industry, and if the population is less than one million, there is no possibility of an industrial revolution. With a population of less than 10 million, there is no possibility of a second industrial revolution. With a population of less than 100 million, there is no possibility of a third industrial revolution.
And in the future, with the finer the division of labor, the more talents are needed, and the more people are needed.
In the future, if human beings want to break out of the solar system, Wang Dou estimates that there will be no tens of billions of people, so don't talk about it.
At this time, the fertility of the Han people was very good, and it was normal for a family to have seven or eight, but the premature death rate was too high, just like Wang Dou's family, his mother Zhong gave birth to no less than six children, and then died so young that only Wang Dou was left with an only son.
There are also various diseases that also afflict the people at this time, especially women, so it is necessary to develop female doctors and train the holy hand of gynecology.
Wang Dou wrote on it: "During the scientific examination, a female medical department was opened, and the grade and treatment of female medical officers were equivalent to that of male medical officers. Each county needs to set up a female medical center to treat women, and men stop in order to avoid material negotiations. ”
Wang Dou also wrote: "It is strictly forbidden to drown infants, and violators will be punished for homicide, and local security chiefs and township chiefs will be punished." ”
He added: "Parents are guilty of drowning infants, and all young sons and daughters under their knees will be confiscated and raised by the state." ”
Looking at the number of people that the local protectorate may reach in the future, Wang Dou frowned slightly, even if he thought of a lot of ways and measures on it, it was still too small compared to the population price he needed in his heart.
Westerners have a lighter notion that their homeland is inseparable, but their colonies are often trapped by the small size of their own population, so it is difficult for them to develop. The Central Plains has a large population, but it is limited by the concept that it is difficult to leave the homeland, and the golden and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels.
However, if the population of a place is less than one point, it is often difficult to form a stable social atmosphere, so that the local people have the idea of taking root and it is difficult to stabilize the place. For example, if a county has a population of just over 1,000, the county will slowly die out.
He set his eyes on the vassal king's file and wrote: "All feudal fiefdoms are forbidden in Shenzhou, and the feudal kings and clansmen can go to the country of the capital protectorate. He was allowed to recruit his own population and troops to capture it, and the fief was based on the large county, with a total of 5,000 square kilometers. Those who are proactive can get a 20% discount when they hand over the central financial endowment. ”
Wang Dou wrote: "Those who dare to resist will be exiled to all capitals. In addition, the Ministry of Intelligence can secretly instigate a number of feudal kings to rebel, and after quelling the rebellion, the leaders will be punished and all the co-ordinators will be exiled. The population under the rule, those who participated in the prefectures, half of the population were exiled to the capital. ”
Wang Dou wrote calmly, solving the problem of a certain population, he carefully looked at the strategy of raiding each capital. It is no problem to go west, punish all the countries and tribes along the way, destroy all their books and intellectuals, and kill all traces of their culture.
However, Nan Luo ......
He thought about it for a while and wrote: "Tianzhu culture is special, and the class has not moved for thousands of years, so it can be approached by the White Brahmins and White Kshatriyas, and its high-level interests will not be moved. The vassal king could also be exiled here. ”
After he carefully considered the future development of the various capitals, talents will become very important and precious, even the old intellectuals will be very sought-after.
He thought for a moment and wrote: "You can hoard a large number of criminal officials and old literati, and buy them at the right time. The starting price, Xiucai, starts at 500 silver yuan. Lift people, five thousand silver yuan. Jinshi, the price is negotiable. The wholesale price is from 10 people, and you can get a 20% discount. ”
……
After determining the affairs of the capital and protecting the government, Wang Dou reviewed this internal affairs, and about the servants, he originally planned to divide the land into the mu, and after thinking about it carefully, he decided to cancel it all.
Fu, which began in the Qin Dynasty Shang Dynasty to change the law, is also a kind of poll tax and labor said, Ming Dynasty called household salt banknotes and silver, and then attached to the Ding mouth of the labor. Servitude, accompanied by life, is inevitable, even if the government sometimes exempts taxes in disaster years, but it will not be exempted.
Even if you don't have any land, you become a homeless person, the government may not collect your taxes, but your tax will still not escape.
There are also the servants who are with them.
In the Ming generation, the service was very frequent, the service money was very complicated, and the people were miserable.
This is also Li Chuang's slogan of "not bad, not paying", why is it so demagogic.
In the Qing Dynasty, it was proposed to apportionment into the mu, but it was only apportioned, and the burden of poll tax and labor was still there, but part of it was borne by the landlords and gentry, and some taxes were combined.
Wang Dou believed that it was better to end this kind of Ding Yin system and labor service system, and that there were a large number of hidden fields in all dynasties, which was easy to understand, and the gentry, officials and merchants used various means to conceal it in order to evade the land tax. However, there are a large number of hidden households in various generations, and this is the scourge of poll tax and servitude.
A large number of hidden households are extremely unfavorable to national planning, because it is difficult to put forward development goals without knowing the specific population size, which is extremely bad for economic development.
The exemption of the poll tax and the exemption from labor may be unfavorable to the government at first glance, because there are no more ordinary people who come out to work for nothing, and the expenditure on money and grain for various projects will be greatly increased, but in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
And if the system is well designed, the money spent by the government will eventually go back to the government.
This is because although the hired workers have spent money, the workers have to eat, drink, spend, and have entertainment, which will lead to the development of a large-scale tertiary industry and enhance domestic demand.
This increase in domestic demand will naturally be in the form of tax revenue back to the government, just a circle, but also promote the economic cycle, enhance economic vitality.
The employment of workers can also lead to large-scale employment, and the trick that has been tried and tested by various countries in later generations is to increase the instability on a large scale if it is to levy labor.
The most famous example is the "one eye of the Mo Dao stone people in the Yuan to Zheng period, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world", which is forced labor. If the people and husbands are paid enough wages to make a living, it is a foreign rule, and those who spread rumors and proverbs may be pulled out and torn to pieces by the people, because their jobs are smashed.
In later generations, the people are looking forward to infrastructure construction, hoping that their hometown can build bridges and roads, and what high-speed and high-speed railways are the best, but if this kind of infrastructure construction is large-scale requisition of people to work in vain, Yang Guang is the best example.
Wang Dou pondered for a long time, and finally wrote: "In terms of field tax, all miscellaneous taxes and fire consumption will be exempted. Enslavement, all free! ”
Wang Dou wrote this sentence to mean that in the future, under his rule, the system of servitude that had been implemented for thousands of years from the Qin Dynasty would come to an end in his hands.
Just this short sentence will cause earth-shattering waves in the future.
is just this short sentence, Wang Dou will go down in history, and the history books will be spread by thousands of people, but if it is not good, it may also be ......
If Wang Dou does this, as far as the people are concerned, whether it is the gentry or the ordinary people, they will naturally raise their hands and feet to support it, because this is an earth-shattering benevolent government.
Needless to say, ordinary people have been serving for a long time, even if some gentry and wealthy families may have hundreds of people in a family, they only need to pay the silver and service money of more than a dozen people after various means, but it does not mean that they are willing to pay this money.
Therefore, the exemption from servitude must have received rave reviews from the people, and the opponents are from the government.
Because it means that fiscal spending will increase on a large scale, and everything will have to be hired, and what will happen if some poor local governments have no money in their hands? If there is no money and the people cannot be requisitioned, the necessary projects cannot be started.
The past dynasties have also been at most light and thin in terms of enslavement, because in the agricultural society, the tax is roughly these, and even decreased with the longevity of the dynasty, such as the Ming Dynasty, the highest tax was still in the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang period.
If the government has no money in its hands and has to do things, it is impossible not to let the people work in vain.
Wang Dou has his own means of making money, which is enough to pay for future projects, but it can't be one-size-fits-all, it must be done by region and step by step.
Wang Dou wrote this short sentence, his expression was calm, and his writing was also very flat, but he knew how much movement there would be in the future.
In fact, on the issue of hidden households, Wang Dou thought of a lot of ways, but he found that any means were useless, and the so-called spread into the mu had no obvious effect, so he simply waived it.
……
Next, Wang Dou reviewed and corrected several articles, such as the cultivation of technical schools and mathematical talents, the subjects of scientific examinations, the establishment of customs, and so on.
The last thing he looked at was about the Industrial Revolution.
"The premise of the industrial revolution is the agricultural revolution, and only when the people have food and clothing and have more surplus materials will there be exchange demand and a huge market will be born. In order to meet the huge market demand, production businessmen must increase their productivity and produce a huge number of goods to meet the needs of the people. When the demand for goods could not meet the needs of the people, the production merchants had to improve the equipment and develop higher technology, and the Industrial Revolution was born. ”
Therefore, the premise is that in the agricultural revolution, if there is a shortage of grain and rice, and the people are hungry and cold, even if they are forced to develop industry and produce commodities, but the purchasing power of the people is insufficient, it will only cause overproduction and form an economic crisis. The essence of the economic crisis is that the people have no money and domestic demand is sluggish......"
Wang Dou's note wrote: "Merchants are greedy in nature, and when there is an overproduction, they would rather pour their goods into the river than reduce the price." Therefore, the only way to solve the economic crisis is not to rely on the conscience of businessmen, but to boost domestic demand, so that the people's pockets are bulging and they have enough money to buy goods. ”
Wang Dou wrote: "The only factor that determines the fate of commodities is the market. There are two kinds of markets: internal market and external market, in order to avoid excessive economic fluctuations, we should not rely too much on the external market, and the development of domestic demand should be put in the first place. ”
He wrote: "Therefore, the first five-year plan should focus on farmland and water conservancy and infrastructure construction, and after five years, hunger and cold will be basically eliminated, the per capita annual national income will be about 12 to 15 silver yuan, and the national GDP will reach ......."
"After the Second Five-Year Plan, strong domestic demand, coupled with a vast market for external land conquest, will have the possibility of an industrial revolution."
Wang Dou leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time, he finally took a puff of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt in the jar, closed the book, and put it in the drawer.
The footsteps sounded, and it was the soft voice of Zhong Tiaoyang, the commander of the guard battalion: "General." ”
Wang Dou said: "Have all the people arrived? ”
Zhong Tiaoyang said: "I don't want to take a military position, I have been waiting in the lobby." ”
Wang Douluo took a slight breath: "Then let's go." ”
"It's time to start," he said. ”
When they walked out of the public house, there were three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry in the corridor outside, all of them wearing fish-scale iron armor, standing motionless and solemn, only when Wang Dou came over, they looked at him with great reverence.
When they entered the hall, when Wang Dou turned the screen, he saw that the hall was full of figures, and the civil and military generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate were all gathered together. They spoke softly, their voices mixed together, as if all sorts of emotions were spreading inside.
When Wang Dou's figure appeared, they all looked over, their eyes were full of excitement, excitement, and nervousness, and many of them even turned red.
Wang Dou walked towards them with a smile, and everyone gathered around, and they said excitedly, "General." ”
"General."
"General."
They called, and they spoke louder and louder, until finally they seemed to merge into a buzzing sound.
Wang Dou looked at them with a smile, and he said softly, "Are you all ready?" ”
Zhang Gui roared: "General, everything is ready. ”
Wen Fangliang said: "General, everything is ready." ”
Han Chao said: "General, it has already been prepared. ”
Everyone said: "General, everything is ready." ”
A smile bloomed from his face, and at this moment, Wang Dou's heart was a little trance-like, and finally, it was time for this day.
He took a deep breath and said, "Well, release the mobilization . Let's order, mobilize the whole people! (To be continued.) )
