Liu Ponu painted a very beautiful picture for Liu Che.

At present, the biggest problem of Dahan is still the lack of population, and in the case of before and after, the population of Dahan has decreased by about one-third.

If we compare it with later generations, the permanent residents and floating population of one and a half capitals are equal to the population of the entire Han Dynasty today.

Don't look at the capital is crowded now, but what if it spreads it evenly over the whole of China?

The per capita land ownership can make him drag racing with his eyes closed and he won't touch people, and he will have to burn a tank of gas every time he goes on a blind date.

Of course, Liu Che knew that the biggest problem of Dahan was the lack of population, but the problem of population was not something he could solve if he wanted to.

But then again, only with a large enough population can the Han expand externally.

The matter of reunification and founding of the country is completely out of line with Liu Che, and the defeat of the Xiongnu is a great credit to him, but if there is such an opportunity to expand the territory in front of him, will he easily miss it?

"Do you think I'm not doing enough to encourage people to have children?" Liu Chedang even grasped the meaning of Liu Ponu's voice.

In the past, the imperial court also encouraged it, but due to various reasons, the people were reluctant to give birth when a certain number of children were born.

Now that there is more food and more people who can feed them, the people's desire to have children has increased.

In addition, Liu Che ordered that starting from the second child, the calculation of thirty yuan would be reduced for each child, which was a real benefit thrown out by the imperial court.

Judging from the statistical data, Dahan's new population last year has been significantly improved, and the policy was only implemented at the end of last year, and the real implementation will not be until this year, so by the end of the year, the data of the new population will be more beautiful than last year.

Isn't that enough?

"Not enough!" Liu Ponu shook his head without surprise and continued: "The new population can't just look at how many people are born, after all, the premature death rate of the people is also not low. ”

"A family needs to conceive a child for ten months, and counting the time for recuperation, it will take a year and a half at the earliest, but it only takes one illness for a young child to die."

"I asked people to count the age of three generations of the population of 100 households in each of the 10 counties, and guess what the final conclusion is?"

"What?" Liu Che was a little confused, he probably knew what Liu Ponu wanted to say, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.

If Liu Che knew some stalks, he would definitely tell Liu Ponu a famous saying.

My current mood is to be confused about the fruit on the tree, and you and me under the tree......

"Ten counties, 1,000 families, three generations of children and grandchildren, the total number of statistics is more than 10,000 people, counting all the grandparents' generation, their average life expectancy is only 24 to 25 years old, counting their father's generation, the average age is only 19 to 20 years old, counting the grandchildren's generation, the average age is only 8 years old, and counting all the three generations according to the highest age, their average life expectancy is less than 18 years old......," Liu Ponu said unhurriedly.

At first, when he got this data, he thought it was a miscalculation, after all, there are more people in their thirties and forties around him, even people in their fifties, and there are many people in their sixties, but why did they cut off directly from their feet and necks when they got to the data?

"How is this possible? Which guy with a conscience eaten by a dog gives you data? Seeing that I didn't cut him...... "Liu Che immediately went crazy, do you want to be shameless?" Do you dare to take out this kind of crazy data?

"At first, I didn't believe it, but then I checked it myself a few times and found out that this is the real data." Liu Ponu spread his hands and said helplessly.

If he dares to take out this data, it will prove that it has been verified, otherwise it will not be nothing.

"Remove those children who died young, only children over the age of ten are included in the statistical target, the average life expectancy of the grandfather's generation is about forty-two years old, the father's generation is about thirty years old, and the grandchildren's generation is only less than fourteen years old because they have not grown up, which has no reference significance."

Hearing the data that Liu Ponu came up with this time, the face on Liu Che's face finally looked better, but what the hell is the difference between his father's generation and the previous generation by twelve years?

And this time, Liu Ponu didn't give Liu Che a chance to continue asking questions, and directly continued:

"Removing the children who died before the age of the child has been raised, but the number of people counted has been reduced by more than half."

"That is to say, the mortality rate of children under the age of ten is more than fifty percent, and most of my grandfather's generation lived during the reign of the first emperor, and if it were not for the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the average age could have increased by two or three years......

Liu Che frowned and glanced at Liu Ponu lightly.

Come, I'm your father, my name is Liu Che, or you can arrange an ID number for your father and report it directly!

also directly singled out the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms directly lowered the average life expectancy of two to three years, don't you clearly say that the average life expectancy of my father's generation has decreased by twelve years, because of the war between me and the Xiongnu?

"War is unavoidable, if you don't fight him, he will come and fight you."

"The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms is not something that the first emperor can control, and the war with the Xiongnu is not something you can control, this battle has to be fought sooner or later, but it just happened to rush to you, and you have the ambition to fight this battle, that's all."

"Even if you can endure it and not fight, you will still have to fight when you come to me, and if you endure it, there is no national ridge, how can you endure this kind of thing!" Liu Ponu is not as black as Liu Che thought, Liu Ponu mentioned these things to Liu Che not to teach Liu Che a lesson, and Liu Che didn't need Liu Ponu to teach him a lesson.

Listening to Liu Ponu's addition, Liu Che's mood instantly relaxed a lot, this is like human words, I know that you kid will not let me down!

"With the advent of the new army, the number of people who will be reduced by the war will be drastically reduced, so we don't need to worry too much about that."

"But the high premature mortality rate is always a problem, and one premature death means that at least a year and a half of a family's childbearing time is wasted, and even longer parenting time is later."

"We have a small population base, and there are so many families suitable for childbearing, so we need to work hard in this regard, even if it is just to save the young children who should have died young, it will be a population increase of 100,000 or even 200,000 in the entire Han Dynasty." Liu Ponu continued.

"The truth is such a truth, everyone understands, but what to do is the key, the sky is going to rain, the mother wants to get married, can I stop it or can you stop it?" Liu Che smiled, feeling helpless about this.

"A large proportion of young children who die are delayed to the point of no cure because some minor problems cannot be treated in time, some because they are too poor to afford medicine, and some because they can't eat enough to get enough problems."

"It's not realistic for us to completely solve this problem, the only thing we can do now is to improve the level of treatment, increase the number of doctors, and reduce the cost of medical treatment, although it will take a long time to do, but if we don't do it, then when will it be done?" Liu Ponu asked rhetorically.

The current level of medical care is not so advanced, but it is not as unbearable as imagined.

Of course, Chinese medicine is only in the initial stage of development, and there is no way to compare it with Chinese medicine more than a thousand years later.

But some basic minor ailments can still be seen, and what to say about technology, practice makes perfect.

Knowing some, coupled with a lot of practical experience, is a rookie who can practice it in a few years.

As for what some people say about the slow efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, it is purely farting, and the slow effect is due to the lack of symptoms.

That's right, it's just that there's no right symptom, you know what it means, right?

As long as the symptoms are correct, you can be completely cured without saying a pair of medicines, at least you can feel obvious changes, and usually three or five pairs of drugs can be completely cured.

The difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine is difficult on one side, and the doctor needs to prescribe different amounts of prescriptions according to the severity of the disease, even if it is two patients with the same fever, although the prescriptions and medicinal materials given are the same, but the details of the proportion of each herb are also different.

Of course, Liu Ponu also knows how difficult it is to train a Chinese medicine practitioner, he has just started in ten years, and he has just started in twenty years, and this sentence is not a joke.

"We don't expect them to be able to see all the diseases, as long as they can take care of the headache and brain fever, as long as they can do this, it shouldn't be a problem to save 10% of the young children!"

"They look down on it! Even if they don't have to pay for the house, they can't afford the medicine! Liu Che shook his head, and could only say that the ideal was very beautiful.

Liu Ponu smiled, and immediately enlivened the atmosphere and said: "Bad old man, I have to count you down two sentences when I talk about this, have you forgotten that I still have the title of Shennong on my head?" Nowadays, medicinal herbs are expensive because they are scarce, and some of them need to be transported from other places, can't we grow them ourselves? Anyway, each county has an inexhaustible amount of land, so when the time comes, just plant a large area. Although the effect of the drug may be smaller, the amount can be increased to ensure the efficacy. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ponu couldn't help but think of a sad thing, the reason why the Chinese medicine in later generations became like that was because they had to prescribe according to the amount specified in the medical codex, and the standard set by the medical code was to test a single Chinese herbal medicine to detect whether the herb was toxic or not, and how many doses of a single use would cause people to have adverse reactions.

However, they do not know that the poison in traditional Chinese medicine can also cure diseases, and when prescribing prescriptions, they will also give corresponding medicinal materials for detoxification to reconcile.

That is to say, a single person will eat the dead, but it can be cured by matching it together in proportion without any side effects.

In addition, the efficacy of the same medicinal material will be different because of the different growth environment, and most of the ones they test are the batch with the best quality and the best efficacy, so you know.

Liu Ponu can't change the future generations, but he can change the present.

If you start now, Liu Che will probably live for more than ten years, right?

After he takes over, the population base also rises, isn't it fragrant to start him directly?
