After returning from Eagle Island, Lin Jian sent Lin Mengde and others away, returned to Xingyuan on his own, and at dusk, accompanied Su Mei and Xiaoman to recreation in the garden; When it was getting dark, Liu Shidu rushed over to ask for a meeting.

"This Liu Shidu, leave some time for him to be close to Zongting and Cunxin, and he came to annoy me again, could it be that he didn't touch the book I promised to send him?" Lin Jian was quite puzzled that Liu Shidu came to see him alone at this time, and told Su Mei and Xiaoman about the promise to give Liu Shidu "Speculation" when he watched the shooting during the day.

Su Mei smiled: "Lord Liu's heart may not be so small, thinking about her husband's book. I guess most of them have some ideas that contradict the dream, and I think that the book may not be convincing, but I don't want to vomit and be unhappy in my heart, so I really take this opportunity to rush to the line alone......"

"Then tell him to go to the study first and wait......" Lin Jian frowned slightly, many new laws have not yet been established, and it will take a long time for the law system to be finally tight, Lin Jian can't throw everything to the public government and the Privy Council, and let Liu Shidu take him to the study where he usually meets guests in the inner room.

Lin Jian took a breath before he summoned Song Jia and rushed to the study together, and smiled at Liu Shidu, who was sitting in the back compartment, with a smile: "The booklet has not necessarily been sent to be sent, but Liu Gong came first to thank you......"

"Shi Du didn't dare to ask the lord for a book, he really had other doubts, and I hope the lord can solve it for Shi Du." Liu Shidu blushed, and invited Lin Jian and Song Jia to come in.

Lin Jian looked at Liu Shidu's face, wondering in his heart what he was going to say when he asked to see him alone.

"If there's anything, you can sit down and tell me."

Lin Jian sat cross-legged with the long case, and asked Liu Shidu to sit in front of the case, so that it was convenient to talk about things. Lin Jian casually invited Liu Shidu to sit on the case, it was cold outside, and the study simply burned a stove to keep warm, and the iron kettle on the stove burned with a "fluttering" boiling sound.

"Jiangdong County is under the jurisdiction of Jianghuai, Huaixi, Chongzhou, and Jiangning, and the data of Dingtian and Kouhu of Jianghuai Division have also been merged before the division comes......" Lin Tie sat cross-legged at will, but Liu Shidu straightened his waist to show his weight, and sat on the opposite side of Lin Tie, which was actually more difficult than sitting on a chair, and slowly said the words that he had been thinking about for a long time.

The spin-off of Jiangdong County is something that has been going on since the beginning of the year.

Jiangdong County is divided into four parts, with two Xuanfu envoys and two Zhili Mansions under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and after the split, the data such as the government office, the split and merger of Ding Tian are also the most urgent things to do in Jianghuai County, but these data are transferred to their own hands through the Privy Council, and there is no need to ask Liu Shidu to avoid Lin Mengde to report to himself alone.

There is no need for others to wait, Song Jia holds the pot to make tea for Lin Jian and Liu Shidu; Called boiling water poured, the fragrance of tea is full of house, refreshing, Song Jia put the kettle on the stove, and then retreated behind the screen; Lin Jian remained silent and motioned for him to continue.

Liu Shidu thought for a moment and replied: "Ding Tian's records, in the old days, there were fish scale books, but there were even errors and omissions, and there were many brief and unknown places, which were not enough to assist in good governance, but the lord carried out a new policy in Huaidong, in addition to Ding Tian, the people's mouth age, grain production, industrial property, marriage and childbearing age, maternal death, young children's deaths, mulberry cotton land and cattle feeding number, all of which can be checked in detail, which is very convenient for people's livelihood and political affairs, and is actually good governance. Only with detailed data can we know for sure that the power of the new deal is far from being able to withstand the ...... in the old days."

"Yes, yes, yes, if you only report good news and not bad news, you won't miss the opportunity to drink with Zongting and them......" Lin Jian said, asking Liu Shidu to put down his burden and say anything directly.

Liu Shidu then continued: "...... In the past, daughters of childbearing age were born and raised as the key to life and death, and Jianghuai was still good, but there was a saying that one hundred lives and one death; Giving birth to children, poor families are the most difficult to maintain health, giving birth to six or seven children, and those who die prematurely abound, and only two or three can grow up. However, the lord ruled Jianghuai, implemented a new policy, and made the prefectures and counties follow the health laws, and the old concept of difficulty in raising children and the early death of children has gradually improved in recent years, and these have been recorded in detail in Hailing Mansion from the inventory after the first year of Yongxing, and there is the beginning of the prosperous world, and the division has specially come to congratulate the lord! ”

Lin Jian guessed Liu Shidu's intention, but seeing that he was still secretive at this time, he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he sat with his hands in his hands, and waited for Liu Shidu to continue to speak hesitantly.

"Last year, Hailing Mansion gave birth to more than 80,000 young children, and 186 women died; There are 4,000 children under the age of 10, including dead babies who are not alive, and more than 30,000 due to illness or accident. In the first year of Yongxing, the number of births was the same, but there were more than 500 deaths of mothers, more than 15,000 young children, and only slightly more adults who died of illness or accidents, but there was no major change......

Lin Tie his hand pressed on the long case, silent.

In the first year of Yongxing, the situation in Hailing Mansion has improved, but according to the data of that year, nearly 20% of children still died and could not grow into adulthood; Even at this time, about 6 percent of newborns died in Hailing Province, so it is no wonder that people had a tradition of giving birth.

"......," Liu Shidu said, "because of the good government of the lord, after the Hailing Mansion excluded the relocated Ding households last year, the number of Ding Kou increased by about 48,000; But in the first year of Yongxing, the number was less than 30,000. Earlier to the period from Qingyu to Chongguan, Hailing Dinghu has always been a ...... that does not increase but decreases."

Except for a few areas such as Chongju and Jeju, Haeneungfu is undoubtedly the place where the implementation of the new policy has been the most thorough and long-lasting, and the power of the new policy can be said to have been fully demonstrated.

Excluding the factors of migration, the high proportion of net population growth is definitely the prelude to the opening of the prosperous era.

However, it is clear that Liu Shidu has a different opinion on this.

"The net increase in Hailing Mansion is more than 48,000 a year!" Lin Jian gritted his teeth and inhaled cool air.

Traditionally, the net increase in the number of households has been regarded as one of the core achievements of local officials.

Population growth is also the most direct stimulus to the increase in local and central income, and it will also bring about the enhancement of national strength.

The reality is that the population has declined sharply due to the prolonged war, making the land relatively abundant, and a large number of people are needed to fill in the sparsely populated areas of Jingxiang, Henan, and Guanzhong now and in the future. Therefore, the Privy Council also intends to lower the age of marriage and childbearing again in order to stimulate population growth.

In the past, whenever the chaos was brought under control and after the establishment of a new dynasty, a policy of recuperation and recuperation would be carried out, and even young girls would be forced to marry and have children early to increase the fertility rate to stimulate population growth.

The pros and cons of everything are relative and have a balance.

The strength of a large number of people and the strength of many people are the most intuitive understanding of the benefits of population growth in the world. However, when the production of grain and other materials necessary for survival cannot meet the total needs of the population, a series of vicious disasters such as famine and war will be induced.

Hailing Province has a population of 1.6 million; After deducting the factor of population migration, during the period from Qingyu to Chongguan, the population of Hailing Mansion decreased instead of increasing; In the first year of Yongxing, there was a net increase of 30,000; By last year, the increase had risen to 48,000 – and the system of township divisions in Hailing Province had been established, and the local statistics were already sound – which meant that the natural population growth rate of Hailing Province had risen to about 3 percent, and if left unchecked, it would continue to rise for the next three to five years.

The reason for the high proportion of net population growth in Hailing Mansion in recent years, Liu Shidu also said very clearly, that is, since the beginning of the Chongguan decade, many new policy measures have been gradually implemented in Hailing Mansion, which has caused a sharp decrease in the mortality rate of young children in Hailing Mansion, as well as the mortality rate of adults and the death rate of women who give birth to them have decreased year by year.

The population growth rate is a plural increase, and the natural growth rate of three percent may not seem like much, but it only takes about twenty-three years to double the population in the base, and in forty-six years, the population can quadruple in the base.

Liu Shidu carefully observed Lin Lian's expression, and speculated that he should understand that the rapid growth of the population may not be good, so he continued: "After Emperor Gaozu established the dynasty, he also carried out a great policy of recuperation and recuperation, in order to make the people prosperous, but his government was not as far as the lord. In the past 200 years, the population has increased by less than doubled. And according to the lord's government, with the private calculation of the master, in twenty-three years, the number of Dingkou will be doubled......"

The war has caused a sharp decline in population and a relatively sufficient amount of arable land, which has brought relatively sufficient space for population recovery or growth, but this space, if it takes more than 200 years to fill it slowly, at least in the early days of the dynasty, will not form much of a problem. On the contrary, it can make the early decades or even nearly a hundred years of the dynasty because of the gradual increase in population and the orderly development of more land, and the world will be ruled by the great world.

At present, the counties south of the Qinling Mountains and east of the Xiajiang River have a population of about 50 million, and if the new policy is thoroughly implemented in the counties, the people's burden and subsistence pressure will be reduced, the sanitary and medical conditions will be greatly improved, and the population will maintain a net increase of 3 percent, the total population will be doubled to 100 million within 23 years.

If, twenty-three years later, the land south of the Qinling Mountains can still support 100 million people, but in the next twenty-three years, the population will double again, and the population living south of the Qinling Mountains and Huaishui will reach 200 million—plus the population north of the Qinling Mountains, as well as Liangchuan and Daxiguan, will naturally increase, and the population growth rate of the new empire will not be able to be stopped—the total population of the new empire will be close to 400 million within forty or fifty years. At that time, will such a dense and huge population be able to withstand the current arable land and crop yields?

Lin Jian looked up at Liu Shidu, but he didn't expect that he, who was born in the traditional imperial examination, would think of the problem of overpopulation before others - why did Liu Shidu bypass Lin Mengde and go directly to himself? He should have communicated with Lin Mengde on the population issue in Haizhou Mansion, but the problem of overpopulation is obviously a bit ahead of the times, and it is not difficult to understand that Lin Mengde ignored it and even sneered at Liu Shidu's worries.

Probably many people will not be happy with Liu Shidu's high proportion of the net increase in population in Haizhou Prefecture, but worry about it, and be confused, right?

With the further development of Guangnan, Yizhou, Qiongzhou and other areas, with the continuous improvement of farmland and water conservancy construction in other areas, with the continuous improvement of planting species and the use of more fertilizers, Lin Jian believes that it will not be a problem to increase the total grain output in the Qinling Mountains and the south of Huaishui by four or five times. As long as there is a relative abundance of food and a surplus of population, it can be absorbed by the new industrial and mining industries, which will once again stimulate the development of social productive forces.

However, the increase in total grain output is a long-term process, and it may take 70 or 80 years, hundreds of years, or even longer to double and double grain output. And once the population doubles and doubles in just forty or fifty years, it is likely to exceed the total supply capacity of the world's food production, and this will become a great hidden danger.

And Liu Shidu could not be more optimistic about the prospect of increasing grain production than Lin Lian, so he will have a stronger worry when he realizes the problem of overpopulation.

The new policy implemented by Lin Tie was originally to uncover the rule of the prosperous era, and Liu Shidu talked about the hidden danger of overpopulation at this time, and he did not like Lin Mengde and others, which was normal. Liu Shidu did not write a special letter to state this matter, but made a special trip to ask for a meeting, which shows that he was also prepared to reprimand Lin Bin, fight in person, or observe words and expressions to determine the depth of the discussion.

"People are resting, it is a prosperous scene, but Liu Gong is worried that Ding's mouth is overflowing, and it is not something that the land can bear," Lin Jian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Liu Gong is worried, where do you come from?" ”

"Eight years ago, the country was difficult, but it could barely be sustained; In the winter of the ninth year of Chongguan, Yanhu entered the Kou and Huaisi chaos, which completely hurt the vitality of the country. Why Huaisi is in turmoil, Shidu has also thought about it repeatedly over the years, and the gains are not long. First, it is nothing more than the influx of displaced people into Huaisi who were bewitched by the uncle of the wife of the state and rebelled against it; Second, the governments of Henan and Guanzhong and Yanjing were powerless to deal with the great drought that spread to more than 20 counties in Chongguan in the eighth and ninth years, or they were unable to treat it, causing the affected people to flee and impact the surrounding prefectures and counties, forming millions of displaced people. Third, the agricultural policy of Xinxue thought that the great drought that spread in Henan and Guanzhong in the eight and nine years of Chongguan had a great relationship with the overcultivation and sharp decline of forest land in these places, and Shidu also thought that it should be so. Fourth, over-cultivation and the sharp decline of forest land are directly related to the excessive nourishment of the population. Fifth, even if the land is over-cultivated, in the past two hundred years, the grain fields that Ding Zhuang can cultivate in the disaster-stricken areas of Henan and Guanzhong have been reduced by more than 50 percent, and the grain grown by the people has decreased, and the taxes have not changed, resulting in a great reduction in the grain storage of ordinary people, and a great reduction in their ability to survive the famine, and the vast majority of people cannot withstand the catastrophe of two seasons of no harvest......" Speaking of this, Liu Shidu lowered his head and glanced at his sleeves, obviously he came prepared, afraid that his memory would be incomplete when he was old, and his words were disorderly, so he deliberately wrote the main points on the inside of his sleeves.

Lin Jian glanced at it, and saw that Liu Shidu's cuffs were densely written, thinking that he had thought deeply about this, so he didn't interrupt, and listened to him continue.

"Sixth, the land annexation makes it possible for the affected areas to concentrate on the hands of the big landlords even if there is surplus grain, and the poor people have no ability to buy surplus grain to tide over the famine, so they can only leave the disaster area to survive the famine year. Seventh, the outpouring of people affected by the disaster has hit the surrounding prefectures and counties, forming a larger-scale group of hundreds of displaced people. Eighth, although the Jianghuai River during the Chongguan period was a land of fish and rice, it was also unable to accept millions of displaced people due to population overflow, resulting in the southward disaster victims and displaced people being stranded between the Jianghuai and the Jianghuai River, unable to make a living, and finally let people take advantage of it and brew into civil unrest. The Huaisi Rebellion then took advantage of each other's momentum with the Rebellion of the Two Lakes and the Yellow River Embankment Repair Rebellion, which swept through the Central Plains in just a few years, causing Jingxiang and Henan to become completely ruined, and the two lakes, the two rivers and the Jianghuai region were also greatly affected......

Lin Lian thought that the development of new craftsmanship would naturally touch the new learning to form a strict system, but he did not expect that it was Liu Shidu who first formed new thinking on the basis of many new policies and new craftsmanship - Lin Lian did not remember what the specific content of the theory of overpopulation in later generations was, but Liu Shidu's new theory of the relationship between population and war, population and cultivated land was obviously beyond the old era.

"What Liu Gong said is quite innovative, and many things and countermeasures, and it is also annoying that Liu Gong wrote a special letter and sent it over, which can also be discussed by the public council and the Privy Council." Lin Jian said.

Seeing Lin Tie's statement, there was no anger on his face, Liu Shidu was a little relieved, saluted and said goodbye, Lin Tie asked Song Jia to bring the booklet of "Speculation" translated by Song Shixian in the study, and asked Liu Shidu to take it back.

After Liu Shidu left, Song Jiacai sat down according to the case, and Lin Jian smiled: "This old man Liu, obviously wrote a special letter, but he didn't take it out, and asked him to run again tomorrow ......"

"Liu Gongxin's theory is generally not likable, and if you don't understand his heart, most of you will think that he is using things to criticize the new policy," Song Jia said, "Liu Gong may be afraid that if he submits the special letter, there will be no possibility of turning around......

Lin Jian smiled indifferently, he knew that Liu Shidu had the ability and knowledge to be first-class in the world, but after being immersed in officialdom for a long time, it was difficult for him to be cautious for a long time.

When it comes to the problem of overpopulation, Lin Jian has not thought about it.

Yongxing four years of tax reduction on Jianghuai prefectures and counties, each household only reduced one ding, the rest are levied, this time the apportionment into the mu, the remaining tax actually as an additional tax and still exists. On the surface, he didn't want to reduce the income of the center too much at once, but in fact, Lin Jian had no intention of abolishing the remaining tax from beginning to end.

The new tax policy will impose an additional double of the basic land tax on households with more than a certain number of acres, with the aim of curbing the gentry's annexation of land rentier. However, if the "surplus tax is retained" and the land is not thoroughly apportioned to the mu, a situation will be formed in which many households have to bear an additional part of the tax on the household, and the actual purpose is to curb the situation of excessive birth and breeding among the people in the world.

Although pedantic and stubborn people abound in the world, the world's great talents who stand on the cusp of the waves can actually transcend the limitations of history in terms of vision and knowledge.

Lin Jian said to Song Jia: "You go and get my booklet marked with 'Chongmi' on the cover page and the Dingtian materials from the five counties of Chongzhou......"

"Ahh Song Jia stared at Lin Jian for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Have you long realized that there will be hidden worries behind such a large increase in the number of people?" ”

Lin Tie has some information, and Song Jia is not allowed to read it, but Lin Tie has many whimsical ideas, but he can often turn them out of those thread-bound books. Song Jia once asked him why he didn't reveal the secret, and Lin Jian once joked that these were heavenly books taught by masters.

Lin Jian nodded.

These pamphlets were actually used by him to record his thoughts and thoughts, and they were not a big deal. didn't ask Song Jia to look at it, because some of his views were too ahead of the times, and asking Song Jia to read them would increase the confusion in their hearts. As for reading jokes and saying that it is a book from heaven, that is, I am worried that Song Jia can't resist his curiosity and secretly flip through it, so there is an excuse.

"You've been aware of this concern for a long time, but why haven't you mentioned it for a long time? If Liu Gong doesn't poke open this layer of window paper, you will do it. Song Jia asked strangely.

Lin Jian smiled and asked Song Jia to bring a few notebooks from the wooden box, and also brought the information of Ding Tian in the five counties of Chongzhou.

After Liu Shidu left, Lin Jian asked her to bring Chongzhou Dingtian materials and the "Book of Heaven" that Lin Jian often carried with him, so he guessed that it was not for no specific reason.

"For the new empire, population will be the most important resource," Lin Jian sighed lightly, opened the notebook to look at the data he had recorded in the early days, and said while reading, "However, too much population will also make the rice and grain produced by the land insufficient, and mergers and acquisitions will run rampant, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer, and there will be no way to balance, natural disasters can set off the disaster of destroying the country, and you must not ignore it." The number of Dingkou in Chongzhou naturally increased, reaching 20,000 in the eleventh year of Chongguan, and 40,000 in the first year of Yongxing; If it weren't for the high rate of war casualties among the generals who joined the camp from Chongzhou in the later period, the number of Dingkou in Chongzhou after the first year of Yongxing naturally increased, and I am afraid that it would continue to rise. At this time, there were 1.2 million people in the five counties of Chongzhou, of which 280,000 were the extra increase after the 11th year of Chongguan, that is to say, excluding migration and other factors, the natural population growth rate of the five counties of Chongzhou in recent years was 30 percent......"

Song Jia looked at the Chongzhou Dingtian information in his hand, and did not have the detailed Dingkou increase before the first year of Yongxing that Lin Jian said, so he knew that Lin Jian had long known the hidden worries of the sudden increase in population, but he did not announce it to others, and he did not know how many secrets that others did not know were recorded in his booklet.

When he woke up on the Weiyang ship, Lin Jian was also confused for a while, although he had many glimpses and memories of the future generations, but after all, it was not profound, and it was difficult to form a system.

For example, Lin Jian knew that smallpox was an extremely virulent infectious virus, and he also knew that the prevention of smallpox required "pox", but in fact, he only knew the term "cowpox", and what "cowpox" was all about, so he had no impression at all - just like most ordinary people knew that gunpowder was one of the four great inventions of ancient times, but among ten ordinary people, more than half of them knew "one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal".

Before the ship woke up, Lin Jian was just such an ordinary person, with the glimpse of the afterlife, and stayed on the scholar of a strange era.

In the long years that followed, Lin Jian adapted to this era on the one hand, and sorted out the memories of the later generations, striving to form a system, and at the same time studying the miscellaneous craftsmanship of the current world very carefully, hoping that the two could have a better harmony and be beneficial to the leapfrog development of this era.

To say that Prison Island is only the experimental place of Lin Bin, Chongzhou is the first city that Lin Tie has managed with painstaking efforts, and the various changes in Chongzhou, the study of Chongzhou's land, population, customs, upbringing, epidemics and other aspects are actually the implementation of Lin Bin's career in the past few years.

Don't look at Lin Lian, he successively appointed Wu Meijiu, Li Shuyi, Chen Lei and others to govern Chongzhou, but his familiarity with Chongzhou and his deep understanding of Chongzhou, including Wu Meijiu, Li Shuyi, Chen Lei and others, are far inferior to Lin Lian.

Lin Jian also has a long history of studying the population and life expectancy of Chongzhou, and he was shocked by the high rate of infants, toddlers and adolescents before Chongzhou.

Before the official implementation of the new policy, after excluding the factors of war and large-scale epidemics, the infant mortality rate in Chongzhou was more than 20% in normal years, and men usually only had a 50% chance of living to the age of crowning; It is also because of the high mortality rate of infants, young children and teenagers that the average life expectancy of the people of Chongzhou is only 35 years. On the contrary, after staying until adulthood, there are many people who survive to the age of sixtieth birthday or ancient rare.

There are many factors that lead to the high mortality rate in the world, such as malnutrition, poor hygiene, poor living habits, weak resistance and poor medical conditions, and insufficient care for young children in the world.

In the tenth year of Chongguan, the Donghai Kou attacked Chongzhou City and slaughtered all the gentry and households in the city, so that Lin Jian was able to completely control Chongzhou and take the lead in implementing various new policies without resistance in Chongzhou.

Lin Bin's implementation of the New Deal, including the construction of Chongzhou New Town, even if there is no condition to realize a modern urban system, is basically planned and designed according to the modern industrial and commercial city - once the New Deal is implemented, it does not even deliberately pay attention to the problem of high mortality rate, as if a miracle has occurred, and the high rate of failure has dropped immediately.

In the early days, due to the huge number of people who moved in, the Dingtian data of the Chongzhou County Ya was not as detailed as Lin Lian's private transcription and analysis, and it was almost three years before Yongxing, Li Shuyi, Lin Mengde and other talents paid attention to the increase in Dingkou, and listed it separately in the Dingtian fish scale book of the five counties of Chongzhou - these data were not even accessible to Liu Shidu five years before Yongxing - but Lin Mengde and others regarded it as the powerful effect of the new policy, which was Song Jia, who boasted of his talent. Nor can we see the hidden concern of overpopulation behind the high net population growth. In fact, Chongzhou's population has increased at a rapid pace in recent years, and if it were not for Chongzhou's emerging weaving and dyeing, shipbuilding, iron-making, and HNA industries, even if Chongzhou could redevelop and reclaim millions of acres of wasteland, it would have consumed the surplus population in the blink of an eye......

If the new empire wants to finally lay its foundations, it will not work without demographic superiority. At the same time, the dense population can ensure that the emerging industries can obtain enough surplus labor and a large enough sales market.

There is a good thing about a large population, but once the population is overcrowded, the disadvantages of consuming too many resources and intensifying the cycle of domestic contradictions will be increasingly exposed.

Of course, in Lin Bin's view, as long as the South Sea route continues to extend westward and find a new continent with extremely sparse population density, the surplus population can be alleviated by large-scale immigration-

As for the moment, Lin Jian is not afraid of excessive population growth, and his policy of infiltrating Haidong and Nanyang colonists also needs to export a large number of surplus population.

Lin Jian also weighed down the hidden worries of overpopulation out of various complex and even contradictory considerations and trade-offs.

Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced by Liu Shidu, Lin Jian will naturally not forcibly suppress it anymore, but will do some work to pave the way for future population control.

Song Jia looked at Ding Tian's information, stared at Lin Tie with his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "The data you know, the fish scale book should be mostly recorded, even if there are occasional errors and omissions, it should also be seen in other official documents - except for the Military Intelligence Department, the Internal Security Department and the Fuxian Township Division, you have no other eyes and ears, where did you deduce the number of Chongzhou people in Chongzhou two years ago from Yongxing?" ”

"It is said that the secret of heaven cannot be leaked," Lin Jian proudly raised the notebook in his hand, and explained to Song Jia with a smile, saying: "Just looking at the Ding Tian fish scale book, naturally I can't see the mystery. Chongzhou's junior and higher public schools took shape as early as the eleventh year of Chongguan. In Chongzhou, there is a tradition of abandoning dead babies in the wild, and I also set up a children's grave in 11 years to forcibly collect the remains of minors; This kind of data, after several comparisons, it is not difficult to find that the number of Chongzhou people two years ago in Yongxing increased by Ding, and there is no need to rely on the people below for everything, as if I have no mind......"

"It's really hard to be an errand under you, and I can't fool you if I want to." Song Jia said with emotion.

"Chongzhou is my foundation, why don't you pay extra attention to it?" Lin Jian said, "As for other prefectures and counties, even if I have so much energy to take care of them? ”

It is said that Chongzhou is the foundation of the place, not because Lin Tie laid the foundation of Huaidong there.

It is because the high premature mortality rate in Chongzhou has dropped sharply since the tenth year of Chongguan, which has almost made nearly 150,000 children in Chongzhou survive because of this factor. At the same time, the development of the public school system in Chongzhou was the earliest, and there were 367 primary public schools at this time, almost reaching the density of one primary public school in Sanwu Village. In later generations, there were 56 higher public schools in junior and senior high schools, and there were 11 new schools and new political halls in various categories, such as medical administration, agricultural administration, and shipping administration.

The entire public school system in Chongzhou accommodates nearly 190,000 students, of whom 70% are Chongzhou children, and the enrollment rate of Chongzhou children has also increased to 40% in recent years.

In comparison, the development of public schools in Jiangning and Mingzhou is much slower, and there is not much resource investment for a while, and there is no urgency.

In the Chongzhou public school system, especially those Chongzhou teenagers who have been completely educated by the new school for six or seven years and are deeply affected by the new policy, there are more than 20,000. These people have been, or will be able to gradually be arranged in the next two or three years, to be in various emerging industries, or to the army, or to Haidong and Nanyang, or to the prefectures, counties, and townships.

Led by Chen Enze, Hu Qiaozhong, Hu Qiaoguan, Luo Yicheng, Tang Xitai and other Chongzhou boys, the first batch of Chongzhou children who followed Lin Jian were more than 1,000 people, and most of them have become young backbones in the military, political, commercial and industrial circles; At present, many affairs related to the new policy can be seen anytime and anywhere, and with a larger number of Chongzhou children cultivated from the earliest and perfect Chongzhou public school system, it will be able to alleviate the shortage of human resources in the current development of the new policy to the greatest extent.

Obviously, the children of Chongzhou, including a large number of children of generals who were naturalized in Chongzhou, were loyal and supportive to Lin Lian, which was beyond the reach of the children of other places, and they filled a large number of vacancies in the manpower of the New Deal, such as weaving a net all over the southern prefectures and counties, and all the banks, which also ensured that there could not be too many unexpected factors during the period between the government and the real creation of the new empire.

Lin Jian is now asking the children of Chongzhou to work in a place, so they are mentally prepared to take root here, that is, in this Haizhou city, the frequency of use of Chongzhou dialect is even higher than that of Jiangning official dialect, and Haizhou local dialect is almost extinct in Haizhou city.
