Chapter 474: Population Issues

The bounty ended quickly.

The ministers who received the reward paid their respects to Yingzheng together.

"Besides, it's time for me to make a prince."

As soon as Ying Zheng's words came out, all the ministers present raised their heads, and their eyes revealed expectation.

is finally going to set up the prince, although they are looking forward to it, but they don't feel too much, because the candidate for the prince, you don't have to think about it to know who it is, except for Fusu, among so many sons in Daqin, there is no second suitable person.

After Fusu stayed in the north for a period of time, his ability was more obvious, and Yingzheng began to hand over many affairs to Fusu, and he handled it very well, even if Wang Juan and his opponents of Fusu had to admit Fusu's ability.

After Bai Zhong became Fusu's teacher, Fusu's overall ability showed a straight upward trend, and they also admired Bai Zhong's ability in their hearts.

"Fusu!"

Ying Zheng said lightly.

Sure enough, the crown prince is Fusu.

"Erchen is here!"

Fusu is on the main hall, as the eldest son, of course, he can go to court with the ministers.

Ying Zheng said: "The position of the crown prince, I have handed it over to you, what is the ability of Fusu, I believe you can see it, it is also a rule to establish a prince and a successor, from now on, you find someone to set up your own Zhan Shifu, and share the worries of the country." ”

Fusu's face was full of maturity and stability, and he bowed deeply: "The son will definitely share the worries of his father, and he will definitely not disappoint his father!" ”

"I believe in you!"

Ying Zheng already had high hopes for Fusu.

Now Fusu's performance makes him very satisfied, these are all the credit of Bai Zhong's teaching, and it is the most correct way to drive Chun Yuyue away from Fusu and then hand it over to Bai Zhong to teach.

"Thank you, Father!"

Fusu bowed again, showing a very atmospheric demeanor of the lord of a country.

The matter of the crown prince's position can be regarded as decided, cutting off the thoughts of many ministers in the court.

"There is another thing, the grasslands in the north have been brought down by us, but how should we manage them?"

Ying Zheng threw out another question.

The ministers present instantly fell silent.

Oh, yes!

The area of the grassland, so vast, how should it be governed?

This is a serious problem.

If there is no one to govern, there may be other Hu people to occupy such a large land, and another Hu tribe, the soldiers of Great Qin, will be busy in vain.

"The minister believes that the old Qin people in Guanzhong should be migrated to the grassland, multiply, and then send a large army to the north, stationed in the grassland, build a city, and protect the people of Daqin, as long as our people of Daqin are there, the grassland can be governed."

Feng Zheng suggested.

Ning Teng shook his head and said, "The minister thinks it's inappropriate!" When the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, the war led to the death of many people, and now the population of the world has decreased sharply, and the old Qin people in Guanzhong have migrated a large number to the hometown of the Six Kingdoms, and then migrated north, and there are still people in Guanzhong to grow food? ”

The problem of population has become an important factor restricting the development of Daqin.

Li Si nodded and said: "Neishi is right, but after the destruction of the Hu people, the problem will be highlighted, and now Daqin has a vast territory and does not have enough population development, which has become a trouble." ”

Ying Zheng asked, "Is there a way for Tingwei?" ”

Li Si pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly.

It is difficult for them to solve the population problem in their thinking, and it is the first time that they cannot think of an effective way to deal with such a vast land.

"What does Wu Anjun think?"

Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Bai Zhong.

The eyes of the others looked at Bai Zhong at the same time.

Although they often oppose Bai Zhong, they also have to admit that many times, some of the decrees given by Bai Zhong will bring different surprises, and there may be a way.

But it made Bai Zhong show off, which is not what Wang Juan and others wanted.

"We are Daqin, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe."

"Rice, wheat, etc., the yield is extremely high, and there is no shortage of grain year after year."

"In terms of meat, the pig raising method that used to be spread in Wushi has spread in all counties of Daqin, and basically every household can raise a pig, and now the price of meat is not high, and there are more and more people who can eat meat."

"Now Daqin is solid, there is no shortage of money and food, but what is lacking is population, resulting in too much wasteland that no one cultivates, and even the territory that has been opened up is not governed."

"The minister suggests that fertility be encouraged."

"If you have one child, you will be exempt from paying taxes for one year, and you will be rewarded with one piglet, and if you have two children, you will be exempted from paying taxes for two years."

"In less than ten years, the population of Daqin can grow rapidly."

"Fifteen years later, these children will grow up and be able to defend their home and country for Great Qin, reclaim wasteland, and create a prosperous era for Great Qin."

Bai Zhong said loudly.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and thought this suggestion was good.

What Daqin lacks is the population, but there is no shortage of all kinds of food, in the granary of the world, there is so much rice and wheat that there is no place to put it, the old ones are not eaten, and the new ones are piled up immediately.

If these grains are used to develop the population of Daqin, it will be truly used properly.

"Wu Anjun's suggestion is also problematic!"

Wang Juan stepped forward and said: "What Wu Anjun has solved is the problem of population shortage after ten years of Great Qin, but how to govern the huge grassland has not yet been concluded!" ”

They all know that to manage the grasslands, you have to have enough people.

But that's also ten years from now, and now it's a long way from now.

The most important thing is to solve the problems of the moment.

"Is there anything Wu Anjun still has to say?"

Ying Zheng asked again.

Bai Zhong continued: "What the minister proposed is exactly how to manage the grassland in the future. ”

"Now if you want to govern the grassland, in fact, Feng Yushi is very right, in the early stage, you can only migrate people to the grassland to herd horses and sheep, but not only the Qin people in Guanzhong, but also people from Yuyang, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places, they are relatively easy to adapt to the environment of the grassland."

"In addition, our garrison is also indispensable to prevent wild beasts, bandits, robbers, etc., and ensure the safety of the people."

"The area of the grassland is so large, Your Majesty can divide a large area of grassland for them to develop."

"For the sheep, horses, and cattle raised on the grassland, we can help them consume."

"At the same time, fertility is encouraged, and it is also applicable to the people who migrate to the grasslands."

"The most important point is that patriotic education is indispensable, so that they can always remember that they are Qin people."

"In the long run, the grasslands in the north can be firmly controlled by His Majesty."

Bai Zhong made several suggestions.

The crowd thought about it and thought it would work.

Ying Zheng said with satisfaction: "Wu Anjun is right, let's do this for the time being!" ”

If there is anything that can't be decided, discuss it with Bai Zhong, and it is really a correct choice.

"Alright, stand down."

Ying Zheng got the solution, waved his hand, and said, "Wu Anjun stays." ”

His Majesty once again left Bai Zhong alone, and the other ministers were still envious and jealous.
