News of the gamble soon spread among the ministers.

The vast majority support Wang Ben and others.

After all, they are six people, and the odds are much better than one person!

There are also a small number of those who support Ying Feiyu.

Since he came to Daqin, there have been too many strange things he has said and done.

They have never lost a bet, and with their previous trust, they feel that His Majesty also has a chance to win!

Some ministers even privately opened a small bet to guess who would win on either side!

Under the watchful eyes of the minister, the census began in an orderly manner, with the full cooperation of local governments, and two months later, the census in the entire Daqin area has been fully concluded!

The local population of Daqin is relatively dense, and the household department personally sent people to supervise in various places.

The overseas territory is relatively vast, and most of them have only immigrated in the past two years, and the population change will not be too large, and the local government can report it after detailed statistics!

When Xiao He got the accurate figures reported from all over the country, after careful calculation with the household officials, he came up with an accurate number!

Seeing the above figures, even he was surprised, "I really didn't expect that the population has grown so fast in recent years!" ”

immediately called Ying Feiyu and said that the census data came out.

Ying Feiyu answered and let him enter the palace, but did not ask for the specific number.

After Wang Ben and Zhang Han have all entered the palace, it will be better to announce it in front of them!

Someone was sent to call a few people involved in the gambling game, and it didn't take long for the cars to stop steadily outside the palace!

Wang Ben, Zhang Han and others arrived at the palace happily!

"Haha! The census is finally over, but I've been waiting for a long time! ”

"Not really! A few days ago, I was optimistic about a new car that had just come out of the car factory, and I was ready to buy it after winning the bet! ”

"My wife said that she wanted to take the children to the Peacock Empire, just waiting for this money, haha......!"

During the period of waiting for the census, a few old guys were really anxious, and every day they were thinking about how to spend the money they won.

"Han Xin, Peng Yue, what about you? What are the plans for winning money? ”

The old guys couldn't close their mouths happily, and their eyes fell on the two young generals.

"Haha! We didn't bet much in total, even if we were lucky enough to win, it was only 30,000 gold! Buy something to eat and buy some jewelry for the lady! ”

Han Xin said with a smile.

"Yes! I'm pretty much the same! ”

Peng Yue nodded again and again.

They are not as arrogant as these old guys, even if Your Majesty loses three, they won't make much!

"That's right! You should have staked more! ”

"No! Winning this one is more than what you have earned for half your life as an official! ”

"You have to remember the next bet, bet a little more, and maybe win......!"

The veterans complacently taught the experience to the two juniors, completely forgetting the bitter face when they were pitted before.

While talking, the group came to the imperial study and saw Ying Feiyu.

Xiao He sorted out the information and arrived one step later than them with the people from the household department!

"Oops! It's ......! ”

The veterans were anxious, eager to know the specific situation of the current number of people in Daqin, "Tell me how many people are there in Daqin?" ”

"No hurry!"

However, Xiao He smiled indifferently and first took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and distributed them to everyone.

It was the same piece of paper on which they wrote the number of people before!

"Are all the numbers correct?"

Xiao He asked.

"That's right! That's exactly what I wrote, 47 million people! ”

"That's right! That's what it is, it's 50 million! ”

"None of you are right, a certain is a former household secretary, a certain guess must be right, 55 million people!"

After everyone saw it, they nodded again and again and reported the number they had written.

Anyway, it's already the last step, and no one can change it, so it doesn't hurt to report it!

"Your Majesty, how much have you written?"

After the old goods finished speaking, Wang Ben couldn't help but be curious.

Ying Feiyu smiled indifferently and did not speak, but handed the note to Mingde and motioned for him to show it to everyone!

Mingde understood, took the note, and took it below for the old goods to see!

"Eight...... 80 million people? ”

However, after the old goods saw it, they almost dropped their jaws in shock.

The shock was followed by a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, how is this possible? We guessed the number of the native population of Great Qin, not the entire Great Qin! ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you're not mistaken, right? The last census was only more than 40 million, how can it be doubled in a few years? It's absolutely impossible! ”

"Your Majesty, did you do this on purpose? With that number, any one of us can win ......! ”

The old guys squinted their eyes and were overjoyed.

This number is really not a little bit different from the previous statistics, even if you close your eyes, you can win!

"Don't be too happy, the census results haven't been released yet!"

Ying Feiyu leaned back in the chair leisurely, without a hint of anxiety.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, there is no need to worry about filling their stomachs.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, naturally there are people who are willing to give birth!

In addition, the various incentive policies issued by the imperial court to encourage childbirth, as well as the welfare treatment of the factory, were of great help to childbirth.

At the very least, you don't have to worry about how having a baby will affect your work!

The improvement of medical conditions has not only reduced the mortality rate, but also reduced the mortality rate of newborns.

You know, in the past, the premature mortality rate reached almost 50%.

Now it's not even a percent!

That alone can add a lot of people every year!

Then there are the orphans and the elderly, who have no children.

The day is precarious, and there is no shelter from the wind and rain, and basically dies within a few years.

Now that there are orphanages and nursing homes, this part of the population does not have to be lost.

Adding up, it's not impossible for the population to double!

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, does this still need to be announced? Even if the population grows rapidly, 60 million people will definitely block it, how can it reach 80 million? Not even in another five years! ”

Zhang Han waved his hand again and again, not believing it at all.

"In another five years......?"

Ying Feiyu smiled and continued: "In another five years, it is estimated that it will break 100 million!" ”

"Your Majesty, we believe what you say in the past! But this time, the old minister can't be on your side either! ”

Wang Ben shook his head frequently.

"What about you?"

In the face of the strong doubts of the old goods, Ying Feiyu not only did not have a trace of gloom, but also looked at Han Xin and Peng Yue with interest.

"Uh...... This one...... It's hard to say! ”

Peng Yue scratched his head and opened his mouth hesitantly.

Obviously, I also think this number is too outrageous!

Han Xin's eyes were firm, "Your Majesty has always had a basis for doing things, and since you can write this number, it should be after thinking about it!" Now that Daqin is developing rapidly, it is not impossible for the population to skyrocket! ”
