Chapter 889: Population Increase

"Your Majesty is wise, it is those natives who don't know the height of the sky, and after seeing the power of my Great Qin, they even dare to provoke!"

Wang Ben arched his hand and took the lead in speaking.

"Yes! Those civilized countries have been wiped out by my Great Qin, and a few small indigenous tribes are still delusional about resisting, which is really beyond their strength! ”

"After all the natives of the state are cleaned up, the people on the island will be able to rest assured!"

Meng Yi and Meng Tian also followed closely and spoke one after another.

"Zhang Aiqing, how many people are there in Daqin?"

When it comes to Israel and indigenous people, Ying Zheng immediately thinks of immigration.

Although the state was defeated, but the people did not immigrate for a day, it could not really be regarded as the territory of Daqin after all!

When will it become as prosperous as Nanyang, it will be the people of Daqin who come and go, and then it can be regarded as the land of Daqin in the true sense!

"Your Majesty, there are more than 40 million people in my Great Qin territory!"

After being named out, Zhang Han immediately came out of the queue and gave his hand to play.

"How much?"

As if he hadn't heard clearly, Ying Zheng leaned forward and looked shocked.

The eyes of the other ministers also turned to them in an instant.

In the past, Great Qin fought for many years, and even if it unified the six countries, the population was more than 20 million.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Xianyang, he has invented many advanced weapons, and he has won great victories one after another, even if it is a war, the population consumed is very small!

At the same time, we will develop internal affairs, so that the people can live a stable life, and try our best to encourage fertility and develop the population.

But they remember that in the last count, the population seemed to be less than 30 million!

It's only been a year or two, how did it grow so much?

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the total number of people reported by each government when the population count was done a few years ago!"

In this era, there is hardly any census, and the hukou is also a simple household registration, so the data is not very accurate.

And these are all numbers reported by local governments, and I don't know how much water is in it!

In the past, taxes were heavy, and officials could underreport less.

Otherwise, you won't be able to pay so much tax, and you won't be able to explain to the top.

And now, the tax of ordinary people has been reduced a lot, only a symbolic little.

For the sake of their own political achievements, the government lied about the population to make their political achievements look better!

"Forty million?"

Even after getting Zhang Han's affirmative answer, Ying Zheng still had that incredible expression.

"That's right!"

Zhang Han nodded firmly.

"I really didn't expect that my Great Qin now has a population of 40 million?"

That's almost twice as much as before.

Ying Zheng was suddenly excited.

This also proves that under his rule, Great Qin is moving towards prosperity.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, under Your Majesty's wise leadership, my Great Qin is even more prosperous!"

The hundred officials immediately bowed their hands and congratulated in unison.

The most important indicator of whether a country is prosperous or not is its population.

If the population is prosperous, the national strength will naturally not be too weak!

On the contrary, if the population withers, the country will certainly not be too strong.

Even if you have money, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by other big powers!

Just like Loulan, it occupies a very advantageous position in the Western Regions, but the population is too small, and the surrounding powers want to take a bite.

Fortunately, Queen Loulan was shrewd and hugged Da Qin's thigh.

When he was besieged by the other two countries, he was rescued by Daqin!

"The people have lived a stable life, their lives are rich, their families have surplus food, coupled with various encouraging policies in the past two years, which have also increased the motivation of the people to give birth, and the population increase is inevitable!"

Zhang Han also seized the opportunity and hurriedly praised two sentences.

But this is also a fact, if you want the people to have more children and increase the population, the first thing to do is to let the people be fed and clothed!

If you can't even eat these few people in your family, how can you have more children?

To be born is to starve with them!

"Hahaha, it seems that Fei Yu's idea is still useful!"

Ying Feiyu smiled knowingly, and at the same time set his eyes on Ying Feiyu.

"Father, this is what a son should do!"

Ying Feiyu was not polite, and directly arched his hand and accepted the compliment.

In fact, he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"There are rewards for people to give birth, the more they give birth, the more rewards they have, plus maternity leave and subsidies, the enthusiasm of the people is still very high!"

"The population is increasing, and the imperial court can also immigrate with confidence!"

"Yes, now that Umbrella Prefecture has also been defeated, all the imperial court has to do is to emigrate......

The ministers spoke one after another.

"Zhang Aiqing, what is the population of the state that has signed up to immigrate?"

The previous news made Yingzheng happy, and the corners of his mouth were smiling at this time.

"Uh...... Your Majesty, Yizhou is too far away from Daqin, and the previous incident of hurting people by the natives of Yizhou has spread among the people, and there is still ......! ”

"Okay, where is all this nonsense? I just asked how many people signed up? ”

Seeing Zhang Han talking about him left and right, Ying Zheng suddenly became a little impatient, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared a lot.

"Not optimistic!"

Zhang Han lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"If you can't be optimistic, you have to have a number, right?"

Ying Zheng asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Three...... Three! ”

Zhang Han spit out a number.

"How much?"

This time, Ying Zheng's performance was even more shocking than before.

Daqin has a population of 40 million, and only three people have signed up to immigrate?

Are you kidding?

"It can't be, right? Didn't you say that there were a lot of people who signed up before? ”

"The household department is in charge of immigration, and it must not be wrong!"

"Yes, it is estimated that it was the previous incident of hurting people by the natives of the state, so that the people canceled their registration, right?"

"Well, it should be ......!"

Even though Zhang Han's voice was already very low, the ministers heard it clearly and started to discuss.

"I'm a great Qin, with a population of 40 million, and after such a long time of registration, there are only three people?"

This is something Ying Zheng never dreamed of.

"Back to Your Majesty, there were probably a few hundred people before, but when the news spread that the natives of the state hurt people, the people immediately went to the official mansion, canceled the registration, and finally ...... In the end, only these three remained! ”

Zhang Han's report has no confidence.

But he can't help it, the people don't want to go to Israel, and he can't force immigrants for the sake of good data, right?

Now the news spreads so fast, as long as he dares to do this on the front foot, the back foot will be put in the newspaper!

"Well, if you want to emigrate, it seems that you can only wait for good news from Israel!"

In fact, Ying Zheng also guessed that this was the reason.

When he received a telegram saying that the natives of Yizhou were harming the people of Daqin, he was worried that it would affect the immigrants, so he immediately decided to send troops to properly resolve the matter.

I didn't expect it to have such a big impact!
