Chapter 126 The Population Question
Xiao Yan and Li Yong, the Marquis of Huating, began to enter a state of stalemate, Xiao Yan did not dare to attack Li Yong easily, and Li Yong did not go out here in Huating County, just like the river water does not violate the well water, the people in Xiao Yan's family have not urged him to attack Li Yong at one time, but Xiao Yan ignored it, because he is not stupid, he is not a descendant of the Xiao family, and he is already a thorn history, he is a feudal official, he will not ruin his happy life for such a thing, Li Yong has been in Huating County for ten days, He stays in the naval barracks and shipyards at most every day, as for the construction of Huating County, he is all handed over to Gundam to deal with, with the template of Xishan and previous experience, Gundam can be said to be handy in doing these things, this Huating County now belongs to Li Yong's fiefdom, Li Yong got the title deed documents in the household department early before he came, Gundam is busy with the construction of Huating County every day, the construction work of Xinhuating County has been basically completed, those who have not been able to enter Xinhuating County before, that is an envy, jealousy and hatred, Seeing that those people inside live in such a beautiful house and have such a lucrative job, they are still worried about two meals (in the Tang Dynasty, it was generally two meals, and there was no such thing as three meals. And the people inside will not worry about three meals tomorrow, especially those villagers who took the money and left, regretting that their intestines are green, but what can be done, they chose the money in front of them at the beginning, and later found that after going outside, the money could not do anything at all, and it didn't take long for them to be swallowed by the local tyrants and gentry There were no bones left, and many of them even came back cheekily to make trouble, but they were all driven out by the strong marines and brought the government to make trouble? At that time, Xiao Yan was well fed by the people of the Intelligence Bureau in Suzhou, how could he pay attention to these ant-like villagers, and now they finally have a chance, the new Huating County Order, or Huating Hou is here, the entire Huating County belongs to him, and the county order Yamen also issued an announcement to register the population, for a time the Huating County Yamen was full of people, and Gao took his subordinates every day to register these people with road guides, and the road guides of the Tang Dynasty were the ID cards of the people, if there were no road guides, they couldn't even live in inns, let alone enter other cities, If you are caught, you will be arrested as a smuggler, so in the Tang Dynasty, there must be a road guide in the Tang Dynasty, but if you want to get out of the Tang Dynasty, you can't get out if you have a road guide, the Tang monk Xuanzang in Journey to the West is smuggled out, the Tang Dynasty is open, but only foreigners are open to the Tang Dynasty, but the people of their own country cannot go out, even if the people in various places cannot run to the place where they are at will, mainly because the population in the early Tang Dynasty was too small, and there were only more than 10 million people in the early Tang Dynasty. It's really vast and sparsely populated, and it's not very developed in all aspects, the local rule of the aristocratic family and the nobles, how can that little population let you go. The population of Huating County is not much, and the population registration was completed in five days, but these people who registered later do not belong to Xinhuating County, only belong to Huating County, how to say it, that is Xinhuating's things they cannot have for the time being, they also have to go through the same things as Xinhuating County, replanning and reconstruction, these need to be done by them personally, just like Li Yong said, there is no free lunch in the world, and these villagers have no complaints about the requirements of the county government. Because they also saw the new life in Xinhuating County, they organized themselves under the arrangement of the county government, and the people in Xinhuating County also saw those people outside the wall, and couldn't help but think of the time when they rebuilt their homes day and night.
"Murd, we were like that back then, right?"
"You little red guy, at that time, we became the people of the Tang Dynasty for that little work, which was much better than you."
"Nong's brain is w? If it weren't for that adult, you little deflated three would still be driving sheep on the grassland. ”
A Han and a Turkic squatted outside the city gate, biting the baked flatbread in their mouths, drinking porridge, looking at the busy reconstruction site, eating and chatting about their past rebuilding of Xinhuating County at that time, at that time there were many Turks like Murde, and they all paid much more sweat than the locals in order to become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, because they were basically slaves of some tribes on the grassland, and their end was not to be killed when they helped these tribes to rob other tribes. Or they will become slaves of other tribes again, when they were bought by these Han people, they thought that they would live a darker life than in the grassland, but after they came all the way to such a strange place by the sea, they saw that this place brought them hope, so what they paid was to take root here, become an upright Tang people, and let their descendants no longer suffer from their crying, they not only got the heart-to-heart work to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, And by learning Han culture to wash their minds again, they no longer speak the words of the grassland, no longer live the customs of the grassland, and even want to tacit such Turkic people, speaking the local dialect is more authentic than the locals, and then there are constantly Tubo people, Goguryeo people and Japanese people, of course, these people, now they are all Tang people, and every household worships this Li Yong's immortal card, because he brought them a better life, Li Yong carefully looked at the entire map of Huating County during this time, And after looking at the data such as the population registration of the Gouda, it can be said that it is miserable, the entire Huating County can be said to be vast and sparsely populated, but there is almost no farmland that can be planted here, it should be said that it is not suitable for the farmland of medium wheat, and the population is even smaller, excluding the people of Xinhuating County, the total labor force is less than 1,000 people, Li Yong felt a headache, he didn't want to immigrate from other places, but there are not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty, he is looking for someone to go there, even if he finds it, the officials in those places are not desperate with him, The population of Datang is a treasure, taxes and forced labor are all done by the local population, so even if Li Yong has money, he can't buy the population, he also thought about immigrating part of the population from Xishan, but the population of Xishan has just reached a saturated state, which is not suitable for immigration, what should I do? Headache.
"Gundam, there are too few people, is there any way to increase the population?"
Gundam is now also the first two big, when he saw these people, people were stupid, what are such people enough, so he didn't know how to answer Li Yong's question, only perfunctory answers.
"Boss, don't ask me, you can't let them make people every day."
"Holy, Gundam, you're a genius, yes, creating people, why didn't I think of that?"
Seeing Li Yong suddenly jumping up and dancing happily, he couldn't help but worry if his boss had some serious brain disease.
"Boss, are you alright? Would you like to call the doctor in and show you? ”
"You are sick, your whole family is sick, I have thought of a way, encourage childbearing, yes, is to encourage them to have more children, give birth to one, the county praises, give birth to two, free all children to study and reduce the corresponding taxes, give birth to three to reduce the general tax, if you give birth to four, then hang a glorious home plaque on their home, in addition to the free study of their children, the tax is reduced by half, you can also enjoy the preferential treatment of all things here, the employment of family members is preferentially admitted, if there are more than five, that is to hang the plaque of the glorious home, The mother wants to award the title of Heroic Mother, the children of the family are given priority admission to Xishan University, and the military is also given priority admission, and we will give subsidies to families with more than two children, and the specific money, you think, these conditions are as valid as those foreigners who join the Tang Dynasty. ”
After listening to Li Yong's thoughts, Gundam can stuff an egg into his mouth, which is really brain-opening, but this is indeed a good way, but it takes a long time, because this thing doesn't mean that if you give birth, someone will use it immediately, but it just increases the number of people in numbers, and the labor force is being formed, at least it will take more than ten years, but they need the population now, and he finally couldn't help but say his thoughts to Li Yong.
"Boss, your method is good, but this takes time, without about fifteen years, it can't form an effective labor force at all, we can't wait for them to have children, right?"
"That's right, improving fertility and advocating having more children is only one aspect, we are in urgent need of labor now, my other idea is that some people who immigrate to Xishan come over, of course, they are willing to come, they can't be forced, the labor force in all aspects of Xishan has begun to be surplus, here is a lack of labor, you can increase the wages and benefits here, and immigrate to other places, you can let the intelligence bureaus around the country to help, it must be very difficult, but we still have to work hard, how do the local officials do it, you have to find a way, as long as you are willing to come, you can enjoy all the benefits of the local residents here, and there is, that is, those who meet the age of marriage can not find a wife, those Goguryeo women can do a little to give them a wife, but only we Han people marry foreign women, those who want to marry our Han women Tang Dynasty foreigners must be strictly examined, if you can not marry them, you will not marry, if you really want to marry, you will strictly check the other party's ancestors for 18 generations, our principle is still free love, not forced, But the Han people on our side have not married and beaten singles when they are twenty years old, either they will end the women we arranged, or find a woman to marry themselves, and those who have not been found for more than a year will be driven out of Huating County, and the whole family will be driven out, and the army will deal with it like this, I will explain to Liu Renliang to do it, and finally, those widows and divorced women, must not be discriminated against, encourage them to remarry, if anyone discriminates must be severely punished, I think of so much, what else do you have to add? ”
"Boss, you've thought about it so much, what else can I say."
"Okay, then you hurry up and implement it, and I'll tell you what I think of later."
After some discussion, Gundam began to sort out the conversation just now, forming a written decree, in addition to sending a message to Xishan, but also thinking about the intelligence bureau to transmit a message, now he not only has to stare at the reconstruction of Huating County, but also do a good job in the propaganda of these population fertility, Xinhuating County is the first to receive this strange decree, looking at this decree to force the birth of children, they are also very confused, but the benefits of having more children are too tempting, if it is changed to before, they dare not have more children, but now their lives are better, Don't worry about food and clothing, there is such a job and salary in the workshop, it would be better if you enter the navy, they have heard that the military salary there is higher than their salary, and the treatment of the navy is better than theirs, so they are not calm when they see the priority admission to the army, and even many people hurriedly pull their daughters-in-law home.
"Wife, go home and make a man."
Now Xinhuating County has set off a magnificent opportunity to make people, and those who are still beating singles are starting to be anxious, they don't want to be kicked out, fortunately, the county government arranges wives for them, after getting a reply from Gouda, their future wives are already preparing, and they must be in place within half a year, for Li Yong, what Turkic women, Tubo women, Goguryeo women, and Japanese women are still very easy to do. Because the peace messenger over there is the envoy of many of their tribal leaders or generals, it is easy to get it at a low cost, not to mention that they have human trafficking in these countries, but the price of women in each country is different, and the women of Goguryeo are relatively expensive, and then there are Turkic women, and then to Tubo women, the cheapest is the women of the Wa Kingdom, it can be said that a pound of grain can buy a Wa women, but no matter what, this plan is important for Li Yong's future development, It is also significant for Datang. When Changle saw this decree issued by Li Yong, he had been signaling Li Yong openly and secretly for several days, and Li Yong was a little afraid to see her, thinking that this girl was not a good person at first glance, didn't she say that she would wait for him to reach the crown? How to get married less than a month to come to this set, don't believe it, or strengthen her ideological work, can't say that Li Yong implements double standards, because he and Changle are not yet old enough to give birth, for the decree of Xinhuating County, those who rebuilt Huating County also know it, and look forward to the future life, for the Han people, having more children and grandchildren is a traditional idea, but they can't eat enough, who dares to think, now Li Yong has given them this hope, dare to think of hope, then they don't vigorously support it, after all, there is one more labor force in the family, That is, to make more money, life will be better, the population problem has been a big problem since ancient times, more, the country's economic pressure is great, less, then the country will not be able to develop, anyway, now for Datang, for Li Yong, it is Han Xin's more soldiers, the better, Li Yong can't help but think about those traversers who cross the belt system, what kind of population growth or rapid physical growth, but in reality he doesn't have it, so he can only honestly step by step, down-to-earth to carry out his population growth plan, Otherwise, on whose basis will his great plans be accomplished?
