Chapter 781: There are still too few people
"Not as much as it used to be? Shouldn't this be? ”
Ying Feiyu really doesn't know this.
"The native population of Daqin is 30 million, and it used to grow by nearly two million per year, but after encouraging childbirth in the past two years, it is only more than 1.3 million, which is nearly half, and I want to settle accounts with you kid recently!"
The face that mentioned this Yingzheng suddenly fell.
"Father, you're not mistaken, are you? The population growth rate is slow, what are you looking for? Erchen has always encouraged childbearing, and it's not Erchen who told them not to have children, this has nothing to do with Erchen, don't wronged good people! ”
Ying Feiyu hurriedly hid far away.
He is still a boy now, and he hasn't even touched Wang Wan, a genuine wife, let alone others!
How can he be blamed for the refusal of women to have children?
Even if his body has been systematically transformed, it is impossible to get millions of women pregnant in a year and increase the population of Great Qin, right?
So what has become of you?
"Humph! The people refuse to have children, and it has a direct relationship with your kid...... ”
Ying Zheng snorted coldly twice and continued: "In the past, women had a low status and had no financial resources, so they could only rely on the men in the family to live, husbands and children! Now that your kid has built so many factories, women's salaries are not much lower than men's, and women who can make money have gradually raised their heads and have a status in their families! ”
"If you are pregnant and have a child, you can no longer continue to work, not only will the family reduce their income, but they will continue to live the kind of life with your palms facing up and looking at the man's face!"
"In order to maintain the livelihood of the family, but also for their own dignity, women try their best not to have children, and many of them have disagreements with the men in the family because of this!"
These are the results of Ying Zheng's special dispatch of people to people's homes to investigate after the household department reported the number of new people.
The women in all counties of Daqin have almost the same caliber.
"It's not that they didn't give birth to a son in their family, just have a lineage to inherit it!"
"Now that the plough has improved, and there is a steam tractor, even one person can plow the land, why do you have so many sons?"
"You go and ask his father, I'm going to give birth, can he support our mother alone?"
The little daughters-in-law had words in their mouths, and the officials who went to investigate were speechless.
"In the past, there was not enough food and clothing, and there were seven or eight students in the people's families, counting on one to have a chance to support the other brothers and sisters!"
"It's good now, the little daughters-in-law think that as long as they give birth to a son in the man's family, they will complete the task! If this continues, the number of new students will be smaller and smaller! Not to mention immigration, I'm afraid that even Daqin itself will be dissatisfied! ”
Ying Zheng sighed and said.
"Father, the soldiers have already gone away, why don't we go back and talk about it?"
It seems that this matter does need to be well discussed.
But the docks are not a good place to discuss these things!
"Hmm!"
The wharf is windy, and Yingzheng has a headache.
Put your hands on your back and lead everyone back to the palace!
The other ministers can go home directly, but the six Shangshu and the other consolidated ministers all have to go to the imperial study to discuss matters!
Watching the other colleagues happily go home to eat, the faces of several old people were like chrysanthemums!
……
Entering the imperial study, Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair.
The six Shangshu, as well as several other ministers of the humerus, sat down in turn according to their official positions!
"The navy has successfully set out for the expedition, and after I return, the whole world will be my Daqin's!"
"Yes! When they return, my land in Daqin will expand many times! ”
"Hahaha......!"
Looking at Ying Zheng's gloomy face, the old goods picked up the good ones.
Of course, they are genuinely happy about it!
If it were in the past, they would say this, and Ying Zheng would laugh together!
But today is different, I heard that Daqin's territory will get bigger and bigger, and the sadness on his face is a little deeper!
"Haha...... Forehead ......"
Seeing that Ying Zheng leaned on the chair depicting the golden eagle dragon without saying a word, the old goods laughed embarrassedly twice and quietly shut their mouths.
"Do you know what I have called you today?"
Ying Zhenghu asked with a face.
"I don't know!"
On the dock, when Yingzheng was muttering to Xiao Zhengtai, these old goods were far away, and with the wind blowing in their ears, they really didn't hear anything.
"You are only happy that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, why don't you think about the population of Great Qin getting smaller and smaller?"
Ying Zheng was slapped on the table by a few of them angrily.
"Population is getting smaller?"
"Wouldn't it? Now that there are no dead people in the war, how can there be fewer and fewer people? ”
"Yes! Isn't childbearing already being encouraged? ”
"Old Zhang? What's going on......? ”
Hearing the news, the old people were also shocked, and their eyes fell on Zhang Han.
He is in charge of the household department, and he is also in charge of the population statistics!
"Hmmm! That's right! Now it is true that there are no dead people in the war, but the number of newborns has decreased dramatically! ”
The more Zhang Han said, the quieter his voice became, and the more he said, the more unconfident he became.
It's as if it's his fault that the people don't have children!
"How so? Why is that? ”
The veterans are puzzled.
"Why? Because women want to make money to support their families, they don't want to give birth! If it goes on like this, I'm going to have no one in Daqin......!" ”
The more Ying Zheng spoke, the more excited he became, and finally took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his emotions, and continued: "Let's talk about it, what do you think about the population matter?" ”
"...... this?"
The old goods looked at each other with a bitter face, not knowing what to do.
Now women can also make money, and it can really help reduce a lot of burden on the family!
Nor can they give a death order that women should not be allowed to go out to work and go home to have children, right?
Besides, women go out to work to increase their income and make a good life for their families!
At the same time, with women working, it can also promote the development of industry and commerce, and at the same time promote the development of Daqin!
"Your Majesty, this is really a dilemma! Let it develop, the population of Daqin is getting smaller and smaller! If women are not allowed to work, this problem can be solved, but not only will the economy regress, but the people's lives will also become poor, slowing down the development of Daqin! ”
The veterans thought about it, but they couldn't come up with an idea that could be used, and finally threw the problem back.
"Do you think I don't know? If it's not a dilemma, why am I looking for you? ”
Listening to their words, Yingzheng became even more angry.
"It's the minister's incompetence!"
The boss was angry, and the old goods didn't dare to be tough, so they quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
At this time, it doesn't matter if it's their fault or not, it's all their fault.
Not really!
