Chapter Forty-Eight: Are You Worthy?

There are no shortcuts to population growth, and it is only possible to achieve the predetermined goals within the cycle if it is carefully planned within the normal cycle, and every step is strictly implemented to ensure that the error is minimized.

Within this plan, everyone, male or female, is a ruthless fertility machine.

But on the contrary, it really allowed the Wang family to find a shortcut.

On the surface, you may not see anything wrong, but if you study the data, it will be obvious that this anomaly will be noticed.

More than 200 people, in 20 years, directly increased sixfold?

It is difficult to achieve even on paper, and it is impossible to put it in reality.

The Han Dynasty was not as good as later generations, the medical conditions in ancient times were not as good as those in later generations, and even the premature death rate of the royal family was extremely high, so it is conceivable how outrageous the data of Wangjiacun's six-fold population growth in 20 years is.

Most of the time, when the baby is born, each village counts and reports to the township for archiving, and only when the marriage is made will it be reported in the government, which is considered official at this time, and it is also the first time it is counted in the effective population.

In other words, the 1,660 people found out by Liu Ponu in the county government were all over the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Then the problem comes, even if Wangjiacun is given some more time.

How did they manage to increase the population of the village by 1,400 people in six years with a base of 200 people?

Even if half of the marriages are from outside, and the number of marriages is increased by 700 in six years, excluding some of the elderly, even if the number of births is calculated according to 150 or 75 couples, they will have an average of one and a half children a year in six years.

Considering the premature death, even if it is not necessary to refer to reality, for the sake of humanity, it is calculated according to two children per year, is it possible that every pregnancy in every household in their village is twins?

When the population data was obtained, Liu Ponu didn't plan to let people continue to check it.

As long as you are not a fool, a discerning person can see the problem at a glance.

"I don't quite understand what you mean...... "After slowing down a lot of work, Wang Li finally got better, and he still didn't admit it.

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, see the people I brought? The prince personally asked the emperor for it, the most elite Yulin army in the Han Dynasty! Liu Ponu glanced at Wang Li and the others lazily, and pointed to the surrounding servants who were grazing sheep and basking in the sun.

Although it was a warning, the nearby maid still trembled suddenly.

Our identities exposed?

One by one, they began to look around, secretly wondering who had leaked the news......

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly froze there, and a bad thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

But looking at Liu Ponu, who looked calm, as if nothing had happened, Wang Li was a little entangled again.

Dealing with this kind of old fox, Liu Ponu naturally didn't dare to deal with a bad old man as casually, he was not his own father, and it was impossible for him to accommodate himself if he had anything.

So this time, Liu Ponu still cares a lot about the grasp of the rhythm.

When he saw that Wang Li was a little confused, Liu Ponu continued to speak: "Don't think that the county order can't see the problem of Wangjia Village, the reason why it has not been investigated is just that it is not necessary for the time being." ”

"No one reported the crime, he can still get political achievements, and when the above doesn't notice, he naturally won't do this kind of self-destruction of the city wall......"

"What do you want...... Wang Li was suddenly broken by Liu Ponu.

It's not that the county order doesn't know, and it's not that it hasn't been checked.

Indeed, as Liu Ponu said, the main reason why the Wang family was able to cover up the past was because no one reported the case.

In addition, the relationship between each county commander has been opened up by them, not to mention the officials below, the Wang family will send them some benefits every year.

Under the Wang family's decades of operation, it can basically be said that as long as the above did not notice them, the Wang family would not be able to happen.

Originally, the business was as stable as an old dog, but no one expected that it would be upset by a small iron mine.

What made Wang Li regret even more was that if they had honestly asked for the transfer of cultivated land at the beginning and offered some reasonable compensation, this matter might have passed.

As a result, no one expected that a momentary greed would ruin the Wang family's meticulous layout for 20 years......

"I don't want to do anything, the prince wants to make some achievements here to show the emperor, this is my purpose!" Liu Ponu said relaxedly.

This matter is really not a difficult matter for him, whether the Wang family cooperates or does not cooperate, no one can stop the iron ore matter.

It's just that the delay is longer, and the loss is acceptable to Liu Ponu.

Again, it's nothing more than postponing this year's order to next year, anyway, the order is there, and he won't run away by himself.

But this consequence is unacceptable to the Wang family, once this matter continues, all that awaits the Wang family is neat......

"How should we cooperate...... Wang Li sighed secretly, he was already in his twilight, and suddenly he seemed to be much older.

"These lands should not be yours, so the Wang family has to spit it out, I will ask the prince to help you reduce taxes for a few years, but these taxes have to be paid here a pound and no less, and the loss of grain from outside is a bit large, of course, the prince will not let your Wang family suffer, everything is purchased according to the market price, and you can say how many stones you sell!" Liu Ponu said three conditions lightly.

"Aren't you afraid that we'll die with you?" Wang Su, who had been holding back his anger behind him, instantly became angry after hearing Liu Ponu's three conditions.

Although the Wang family did something wrong, it was all twenty years ago, and even if they investigate it now, they may not be able to find any evidence.

And the Wang family didn't do too much ostentatious at that time, but those people probably forgot where they came from.

Holding something that the victim himself is not sure about and wants to threaten the Wang family?

"The fish is dead?" Liu Ponu glanced at Wang Su with interest and said mockingly: "Are you worthy?" ”

"You ......" Wang Su stepped forward angrily and wanted to have a good fight with Liu Ponu.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, the servant behind Liu Ponu directly pulled out the big sword at his waist and stared at Wang Su angrily.

Seeing this situation, Wang Su's anger that had just risen was instantly dissipated in fright, and his raised leg could only jump in place in embarrassment to show his dissatisfaction.

Liu Ponu is not in a hurry, if he does something wrong, he should have the consciousness of doing something wrong.

If you make a mistake and you don't get any punishment, is there any justice in this world?

Although Liu Ponu is not a court lieutenant, he can't judge their mistakes on behalf of the imperial court, but rounding it up, let's take the emperor's edict, it's barely qualified, right?

When Liu Ponu decided to move out of the crown prince to take the blame, he calculated everything.

Although the role of keeping the Wang family is greater than eliminating them, the impact is really not too big, and it is not irreparable.

"The emperor always says that the prince is too benevolent, no matter who and what he is, he must be merciful, as the first eagle dog under the prince, you say that if I slaughter Wangjia Village today, will the emperor be happy......"
