"The population of the northern parallel province is 4.12 million, and the natural population growth rate in the 31st year of Hongwu is 2.75 percent, that is, an increase of more than 113,000 people."

The natural population growth rate refers to the growth rate of the number of births minus the number of deaths.

In other words, in the 31st year of Hongwu, more than 113,000 newborns were not born in Beibian Province, but after subtracting the number of deaths, more than 113,000 people were added.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help frowning.

The northern provinces have a high degree of industrialization, so the difficulty of population statistics is low, while the southern provinces have high statistical costs and great difficulty.

As for the population growth in eastern Liaodong, it is no longer a natural growth rate, but a product of specific circumstances and specific means.

The growth rate of 2.75 percent is terrifying.

In fact, during the Yongle period, the population of the Ming Dynasty had already begun to increase dramatically, and there were signs of the loosening of the guard system.

By the time of Zhu Zhanji, the population of the Ming Dynasty had caught up with the load of land, and even the vast development of the lake had stabilized the country again.

In fact, the reason is very simple, and it feels very profound to turn a blind eye.

One family can become three or five households in 20 years. In the modern society of the West, a family with five or six children is proud of their scholars.

But in ancient China, as long as there was a stable and unified environment, what was it unusual for a family to have several children?

It is true that the industrial development of the West in modern times has advanced by leaps and bounds, surpassing the Chinese civilization, but it is not in agriculture, and it can only be said to be equal.

Therefore, the West makes a fuss and takes it as a proud thing to have five, six, seven or eight children in a family, but the Chinese people have long been used to it.

But there are two sides to things.

As later scholars have studied, China's unified environment, coupled with advanced agricultural technology, has caused the population to explode too quickly.

What is the cycle of history?

Starting from the five grains, just after entering the prosperous era, it is not two generations, and there will be problems in the prosperous era, and the problem is not so complicated, that is, the population has grown too fast, surpassing the land.

Just like the first industrial revolution in Britain, there is no profound reason, it is because of the natural environment of Britain that the first generation of pumping steam engines has a market demand.

The first generation of pumping steam engines was not in demand in the French market, and there was no demand in the Chinese market.

Therefore, in the process of the first generation of steam engines for pumping water in large quantities, Britain has the second and third generation of steam engines, which opened the curtain of the energy revolution.

However, China was in the Qing Dynasty, and science and technology were imprisoned.

In other words.

The emergence of the third generation of steam engines, so that the benefits of machines as power are higher than manpower, the textile industry in the Jianghuai region discovered the steam engine, and naturally will use the steam engine.

The same same as in France.

The original steam engine was not used in France, and it was not until the latest generation of steam engines that it was used on a large scale in France, and the first industrial revolution was successfully introduced.

So did the Ming Dynasty resist advanced knowledge and technology? Did the ancient Chinese civilization resist advanced knowledge and technology?

In fact, the bumper harvest of Hongwu in the past 31 years has already given Zhu Gaochi a faint premonition.

Zhu Di's martyrdom in history slowed down this speed.

But after the prosperity of Yongle, the population explosion has become inevitable.

Nowadays, there is no Jingjing, plus Beiping led the industrial revolution in the north, complementing the economy of the south, and China's advanced agricultural technology, which is still in an agrarian social environment, and there is no contraceptive measures and needs.

I am afraid that the population explosion will not only be advanced, but will also be much higher than the historical scale.

It's not going to be ten years anymore.

The population of the Ming Dynasty will exceed Zhu Gaochi's expectations.

In other words.

The large-scale well system implemented today, with military households of 100 acres, is essentially a manor model, and it only takes one generation to go bankrupt.

At the age of fifteen, you can get married.

The managers of the military household economic cooperatives, the Ministry of Workers' and People's Unions, and other organizations had serious faces, and Yu Xin, the head of the household department, was a little incomprehensible.

He didn't quite understand what the crowd was worried about.

"According to the inferences of the project team for the distribution of workers and peasants and the numerical model for estimating the distribution of social population, the plan to reclaim acres of land needs to be started in advance."

Yu Xin was stunned.

What are these two awkward groups for, why he doesn't understand anything at all.

Zhu Gaochi frowned.

Society is developing, as long as it is development, it will not remain unchanged, Zhu Gaochi never thought that the current policy can be managed for a hundred years.

But he didn't expect it so soon.

He planned to reclaim the wasteland in twenty years' time.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Wei Yi, a military household economic cooperative, heard the emperor's inquiry, and stepped forward to explain: "According to the derivation, there are the following situations. ”

"If it remains unchanged, then the large well system will begin to decline after ten years, and it will return to the traditional agricultural society of 15 or even 20 acres of land per capita, and the large well system will inevitably go bankrupt."

"At this time, because of the gradual decrease in per capita resources in agriculture, people's income has decreased, resulting in a sharp decline in market-oriented demand, which has brought about the bankruptcy of the social resource distribution model."

There is no need for Wei Yi to say the consequences later, Zhu Gaochi knows how serious it is.

Today's market is not naturally generated.

It is the current level of industry that has not really reached the level of the depth of the first industrial revolution.

In the first industrial revolution, machines replaced manpower.

Driven from all walks of life.

In short, machines are hammered out by people.

When machines replace manpower, the market has become more in-depth, and there is a new level of demand, forcing the need for more machines.

The traditional human hammering machine can no longer keep up with the needs of the situation, so there are machine manufacturing machines.

That is, the second industrial revolution.

At present, there are still many traditional industries using manpower, animal power, and even wind power.

Today's thriving market is created by Zhu Gaochi through the social resource distribution model.

If you have to describe it clearly, it can be said that the principle of increasing leverage is added.

Then the source of support is a piling up of several aspects.

One is the food stamp, and the other is the food point, which is the core.

On the market side, there is the distribution of social resources, which is actually the stable income of workers and a relaxed working environment, followed by the large well system.

In short, from the two major aspects of industry and agriculture, a large number of middle-income earners have been created, which has promoted the prosperity of the market.

Although it is a Chinese model, it is actually a different way of building in different environments.

In the future generations, in the harsh competition and suppression environment, it is necessary to forge ahead to catch up, so it can only reduce costs.

But now in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi does not have a harsh external competition and suppression environment, and needs to maintain "high costs".

It is necessary to make the cost high and the price low.

Then low food prices, low energy prices, convenient transportation, etc., are the key to the key.

Low grain prices will lead to the income of peasants on 10 acres of land, which will be far lower than the income level of ordinary workers.

Then, in the case of the development of agricultural machinery, the Katawell system model allows each household to have 100 acres of land, which ensures their status and income.

In a word.

This is an improved version of the Chinese model of later generations, in the Ming Dynasty.

Same problem today.

Zhu Gaochi just didn't expect that he would encounter it so soon.

Hubu Shangshu Yuxin had just been promoted by Zhu Di, and he had always felt that his talent was still good, and he was suddenly a little worried.

He didn't know what the imperial grandson was worried about.

"It seems that I have to learn more about Beiping when I go back." Yu Xin secretly thought that he didn't want to be dismissed so soon.

Zhu Gaochi is actually not very distressed.

He was just a little confused.

I didn't want to roll it up like this.

At first, he was busy in Beiping to deal with the Jing Disaster, but now that the Jing Disaster is gone, he still wants to be comfortable for a few years.

Da Ming is so powerful, what else is he working so hard for.

But the population growth in Beiping has brought about the whole social problem behind it, so he has to find a way to roll it up.

"Why do you always feel that there is an invisible whip behind your back, urging yourself." Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think so.

This was the case in the previous life, and it is still like this in the second life.

Is it the genes of the old Zhu family, or is it the case with Chinese civilization, which makes people unable to be lazy.

yes.

Don't they all say that Lao Zhu is a traditional old peasant thought, but in fact, it is not the core of Chinese civilization, tireless struggle.

The population of Peking has increased by more than 110,000, and this year, that is 200,000 or 300,000.

The whole of the North, as well as the South with a large population base, although industrialization has only begun in the past two years.

Zhu Gaochi's mind suddenly flashed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would organize 500,000 people to go west with Zhu Di, did he say it casually, or did he actually have this idea?

You must know that Lao Zhu has been doing one thing in his life.

From densely populated areas, there is a steady stream of migration to sparsely populated areas.

However, Lao Zhu is not messy, the places of immigration are all controlled areas, and they are not to be filled with the lives of ordinary people.

Not only to the north, but also to Yunnan and Guizhou.

For example, it is recorded in history that 20,000 military households were immigrated to Lijiang at one time, and more than 100,000 people went to the local area.

Even so, in the late Yongle Dynasty, the population of the Ming Dynasty still showed signs of rapid growth, which shows the rapid growth of the population.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi could only ask people to tell Zhu Di to move forward another thousand miles and control the entire Yili Force.

……

"A thousand miles."

Zhu Di received his son's letter, and after reading it, his face was full of sighs, his son's appetite is really big, and it is indeed his own species.

Where is one Hami enough?

It's not enough.

The son should be able to understand his feelings.

Zhu Di didn't dare to ignore his son's opinion, mainly because the logistics needed to be supplied from the mainland, and they had to be discussed.

Now that he has agreed, Zhu Di waved his hand, and tens of thousands of troops marched west from Beshi Bali to Yili Licheng.

Zhu Di wrote to the black son of the fire, to continue to be a neighbor with him, a thousand miles is too far, it is inconvenient to reminisce.

The black firefighter who received Zhu Di's letter was furious.

"It's too much."

"He wanted to swallow Yili Lili, not afraid of bursting his stomach."

The black firefighter can also be returned.

retreated to the area of Atami a thousand miles away, but he wanted to reason with Zhu Di, and he didn't bully people so much.
