In the sixth year of the Dragon God calendar, the national festival of the Dayong Kingdom, the Dawei Dragon King Festival.

Lin Bei has been sleeping for a year and a half.

Wanghai Daily has now been changed to Dayong Daily, which is a newspaper for all the people of Dayong.

This day's Dayong Daily is quite heavy, because it summarizes all the achievements of Dayongguo last year, just like a summary report.

Let's talk about the population first.

Just a few days before the Dawei Dragon King Festival, in the population statistics of the new year, the total population of Dayong Kingdom officially exceeded two million, and this figure does not include the number of Hu Shang.

Why was fertility low in ancient times? In fact, there are many reasons, if you count them, they are nothing more than early marriage, low medical level, and malnutrition.

In ancient times, when a person was twelve years old, he was considered an adult, and the original Dawei Dragon King Sect and the current Dayong Kingdom did not have a law to prohibit a twelve-year-old person from marrying, if it was a woman, and there was no husband at the age of sixteen, then it means that family education failed, well, this just refers to the past.

Although there is no ban on twelve-year-old men and women marrying in Dayongguo, don't forget about the academy and the academy.

The original Nanyue Academy stipulates that the age of six is to enter the month, until the age of twelve, study for six years, this is the first batch of students in Nanyue Academy, in the back, Lin Bei let the teachers add some teaching materials one after another, the enrollment time of students has been getting longer and longer, to now, fifteen or sixteen-year-old children abound in the school.

Being a man, learning crafts, making money, this is what Lin Bei hopes students can do in the future, even if they can't do all three, then at least they can learn the same, they can be a man who can understand this matter Human beings can say that it will take a lifetime to feel that it will not be much, as for learning crafts, now the scientific and technological level of Dayongguo is getting more and more progressive, and the entry of many foreign products has formed many disciplines. Many children can't finish learning in a short period of time, making money is generally around new things, in the past, Zhen could become the first grain merchant in the Han Dynasty by buying and selling grain, with the current situation of Dayongguo, if Zhen still relies on selling grain, he will definitely lose his life. Because the Dayong people are not short of food at all.

New knowledge is summarized, and then taught to students, students need to learn these knowledge for more and more time, many people simply forget the time, so although there is no provision for twelve years old is not allowed to marry, but many students also spontaneously postponed the time to start a family, and now the general age of marriage between men and women in Dayong has been postponed to eighteen years old, I have to say, this is a very welcome change.

It is also due to the delay in the marriage of men and women. The success rate of these men and women in having offspring is greatly increased after they start a family.

As for the level of medical care, at the same time as Wanghai City opened up the sea area, countless islands were developed, and these island resources were also developed, and medicinal materials were also one of the important resources.

As for the malnutrition situation, the country of Dayong is very rich now. The masses have not only been able to eat enough, but have also initially entered the stage of eating well. The nutrients consumed are also among the best in contemporary times.

In this way, the natural mortality rate of the population of Dayong Kingdom is the lowest in this era, so naturally, the more births, the more the population will naturally increase.

In this day and age, no leader feels that he has too many people under his rule. They just don't have enough, it's an era of encouraging fertility, and if you can give birth to ten at a time, congratulations, maybe one of the most glorious awards for fertility

After the population, it is the food problem. Because the increase in population will first bring about a food crisis, but this crisis does not exist at all for the current Dayong Kingdom, because the Dayong Kingdom has been popularizing the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

In the era of low grain production, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn were simply God's gifts to the common people, and Dayong Kingdom had one of them.

Sweet potatoes are not like rice, if it is rice, it is difficult to achieve a yield of thousands of catties per mu without hybrid varieties, in fact, the people of the Han Dynasty can produce one or two hundred catties of rice per mu of field, and the common people will also be grateful to Dade, because this must only be done in a good year with good weather and smooth rain, and the yield per mu is 1,000 catties? It's extravagant hope.

Sweet potato can do this perfectly, the yield of sweet potato is much higher than the current rice, now, the yield of sweet potato per mu in Dayong Country is almost 1,500 catties, almost ten times that of rice.

And sweet potatoes have lower requirements for the environment, and can achieve drought and flood harvest, so let's say, with sweet potatoes as food, Dayong can already announce: even if there are more people, Dayong can raise!

The popularity of sweet potatoes has allowed the people of Dayong to consume more nutrients, and sugar, the original luxury, has gradually become a civilian product.

Sweet potatoes are sweet and delicious whether they are eaten raw or mixed with rice to cook, and they have won the love of the common people almost as soon as they are promoted, and many ways to eat have been quickly developed by the common people, fried and roasted have also become popular, if the common people go to work in the field, bring some sweet potatoes or dried meat, and also save time for cooking.

Because of the love of the common people, the status of sweet potatoes has risen rapidly, reaching an equal status with rice, and began to be included in the staple food menu of the common people, which means that from now on, sweet potatoes and rice are the staple foods of the people of Dayong.

With the increase in population and the corresponding increase in grain production, the people of Dayong have entered an era of abundant food and clothing.

This was followed by medical care and education, as well as preparations for the launch of a welfare system exclusive to Dayongguo.

Needless to say, medical treatment is developing rapidly, the most eye-catching is naturally Zhang Zhongjing, the original Chinese history of the divine doctor in Dayong also began to bloom in his brilliance, since the appointment of the imperial doctor, Zhang Zhongjing has trained a total of nearly 20,000 doctors for the Dayong country, although the current Zhang Zhongjing is still young, but he is already the most famous doctor in the Dayong country, because countless doctors have been mentioned by him, when it comes to doctors, the first thing that the people of Dayong think of is Zhang Zhongjing, he is already a generation of doctors.

As for education, Nanyue Academy is the first academy in Dayong Kingdom, but each city has also begun to build academies belonging to each city one after another, to educate the people under the city, generally at the age of six, of course, even if you want to enroll in your twenties, you can be, be a man, craft, make money, originally Lin Bei's requirements for Nanyue Academy also followed the academies in each city, it can be said that it has truly achieved teaching according to aptitude.

In modern times, people often say that the future belongs to the next generation, Dayongguo is now taught according to aptitude, both men and women can be enrolled, and the style of learning is strong, when this group of people grows up, Dayongguo will only become stronger and stronger, which is predictable.

As for the welfare system, this is what Lin Bei and Bian Ji mentioned in Xiangyang City, when Lin Bei said the concept, it was written down by Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, as Guo Jia's status became heavier this year, and he began to participate in the national policy, Guo Jia re-proposed this welfare system, the full name of this system is the welfare system for special groups.

The so-called special groups are the same as what Lin Bei said at the beginning, referring to the injured, disabled, old and weak, and particularly difficult people.

In fact, it is quite difficult to introduce this welfare system, only when the country is strong, it is possible to implement this welfare system, when the country is precarious, it will perish at any time, then what is welfare?

The current Dayong Kingdom can barely meet the concept of a strong country, and the people under its rule have no worries about food and clothing, deterring the surrounding areas, and exalting the sea area, so Guo Jia talked about this concept, and emphasized that this is the meaning of the Dragon King, after discussion, the Dayong Kingdom is ready to launch this welfare system.

This welfare system is mainly for special groups, among them, the family members of the dragon god soldiers are more cared for, because many special groups are almost the family members of the dragon god army.

The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a troubled era, many families were ruined, no one was left, although now Dayong belongs to the original Yizhou people, but among these Yizhou people, there are very few old people, because many old people have either been killed, or have starved to death.

There is only the Dragon God Army, the Dragon God Sergeant has been fighting in the south and the north over the years, although the combat power is strong and the technology is developed, but there are always Dragon God Army who will die, and the rest are the families of these Dragon God Army, or the elderly, or their wives and children.

If it is a widow, it is better, after all, there is soil to plant, like orphans and widows, it is enough, although there is a pension, but the pension is a one-time payment, now the development of Dayong is rapid, the dragon god coin has also been issued a lot, the price set at the beginning has been changed twice, higher than the price in Wanghai City, the pension is not enough to support these orphans and widows to live for a lifetime.

So in view of this, the welfare system is first of all to provide some assistance to these people, to ensure the lives of these people, and will continue to join the welfare of the rest of the population in the future, it should not be long before a series of insurance measures will be thought out, and then implemented in Dayongguo.

Although this welfare system has nothing to do with most of the Dayong people, the people of Dayong are quite concerned, because it represents the country's care for the common people, even if you have no contribution to the country, but as long as you are born, you are a member of the country, and the country will take care of you for free, reflecting the benevolence of the country!!

This welfare system has improved the national cohesion of the people of Dayong, every strong country, its people will have a sense of pride, this pride is formed over time, reflected in all aspects, the current Dayong people are proud, look at Dayong, then look at the states of the Central Plains, and finally look at those countries, this pride will become stronger and stronger.

This is also the will of the people, when the whole country is proud, it is difficult for such a country to be conquered by other countries, because the pride of these people will make it difficult for them to accept the enslavement of other countries.

On this day, Dayong Daily also made a series of policy adjustments, the most important of which was to adjust the price of salt.

Salt and iron have always been controlled by the state power, and if history does not change, it will even last until the beginning of the twentieth century, and now, the Dayong Kingdom has adjusted the price of salt, turning salt, an originally luxurious item, into the daily necessities of the Dayong people, and does not restrict the common people from making salt.

The restriction of salt marks the further improvement of the rights of the common people of Dayongguo.

The relaxation of the salt policy made refined salt available to some Hu merchants, and suddenly salt became a favorite product of the Hu merchants, even more than porcelain, because it could bring them a lot of profits. (To be continued......)
